Early the next morning, just after breakfast, the imperial decree came down.
After the elders decided, Xuan Fei was more skilled and succeeded as the leader of the temple.
After the dust settled, Jun Moli happily dragged Xuan Fei to thank him.
Some of the nobles were familiar with Wan Dabao, so they pulled him and asked: "Is this the imperial decree? Does the Holy Spirit have any other decrees?"
Wan Dabao patted his head, as if he had just reminded him: "By the way, Miss Ming answered five test questions at once, and your Majesty wants to reward her. It's just that it's not convenient to write it into the imperial edict, so she asked me to pass it on orally. Ming
Girl, will you come with me to see the saint?"
Mr. Ji led Mingwei out: "Father-in-law, I will accompany my niece right now."
Wan Dabao nodded with a smile: "Okay, sir, please come with us."
Some people were envious when they saw Mr. Ji leading his niece to meet the saint.
Who is this Ji Shu? He has taught in the Imperial Academy for many years. Although he has been promoted to Si, he is still inconspicuous. On such an occasion, he could not enter Vipassana, but he actually got a seat. He is so lucky,
Got the chance to meet the saint.
Alas, who told me that I don’t have a good niece?
Some people looked at Mingwei's back and were filled with jealousy.
Wen Ying almost twisted the handkerchief to pieces and whispered: "What a cheap servant! How can you be so lucky that you answered five questions at random? Huh, maybe she just relied on that face to see His Majesty.
He likes to do charming things."
When I talked about the back part, my face became distorted for a moment.
Even though she is the cousin of the prince, the queen is no longer here. She has no chance to enter the palace on weekdays, and naturally cannot see the emperor. As for Concubine Pei, as the queen's mother-in-law, how could she ask to see her!
Wen Ru glanced at her sister and thought to herself, is it possible to answer five questions just by luck? This is obviously a real skill.
She thought about that night again.
Mingwei rescued her and let her sleep at Ji's house for one night. The next day, he unceremoniously asked the driver to take her back to the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion.
The Hou Mansion was very angry about her escape, and Wen Ru said that she went out to look for her because she was worried about the third sister. She didn't go anywhere else, just on Changlechi Street. Later, when it got too late, she stayed at her classmate's house.
Stay overnight and come back as soon as daybreak.
The Marquis asked the coachman. The coachman had already received Mingwei's instructions and answered in the same way.
Only then did Wen Ru pass the test of escaping.
At first, she was resentful towards Ming Wei for sending her back like that. Later, she slowly came back to her senses and realized that what she said was absolutely right. She couldn't leave Cheng'enhou Mansion, and there was nothing she could do except go back.
What can I do? I think it’s unfair? Then I can only endure it.
It was probably a matter of mentality. After this incident, Wen Ru became less prejudiced against Ming and slowly saw the real her.
Another time, she heard Wei Xiaoan talking to Mingwei, and it seemed that their rescue had something to do with Mingwei.
Wen Ru believed it immediately.
After being rescued by her once, she had an inexplicable confidence in her and felt that this was something she could do.
But she would not say these words in front of the third sister.
In the past, when I was in the game, I only knew that I shared the same hatred with the third sister. Now that I have stepped out, I realize how annoying this look is.
The prince is right not to want to marry a daughter of the Wen family. It will not help him. And with such qualifications, how can he be qualified to be the prince's concubine?
She is now glad that she took the blame for her third sister's affair and ruined her reputation. Now her family will definitely not propose marriage to her. In two or three years, they will either find her a student from a poor family, or find someone from an out-of-town aristocratic family who is not high-ranking or not.
If you marry in the lowlands, you may be able to live a pure life.
…
Mingwei was quickly summoned.
Mr. Ji led her into the main hall and bowed with some excitement.
This was his second time to meet the emperor. The first time was when he was in high school. He was sandwiched among the new scholars and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
After that, although he stayed in the capital, he always worked as a minor official and had no chance to worship Tianyan.
Who would have thought that his second meeting with the Holy Spirit would be thanks to his niece?
The emperor had aged for a long time, but he was still as kind as before. He said: "Come on. Are you a chronicler? I heard that you are good at learning."
Mr. Ji was so nervous that he couldn't speak. He stuttered for a while before he answered: "I'm a dull man. I can only immerse myself in reading and just talk briefly."
The emperor laughed: "Your Ji family has a good family tradition. I have heard about it in the early years. Sure enough, if my sister teaches well, my niece will also teach well."
Mr. Ji's eyes turned red when he heard him mention his sister. The younger sister died unjustly, but at least her injustice was made known to the world.
The emperor encouraged him a few more times and asked him to wait aside to talk to Mingwei.
"Do you know magic?"
Mingwei lowered his head and replied, very modestly: "My little girl only knows a little bit about it."
The emperor smiled again: "It's the same as your uncle. I asked about it and heard that you had an encounter with an immortal and learned the magic."
"Yes, thanks to my little girl's mother."
The emperor had no doubts. Since there is magic in this world, encounters with immortals are nothing but rare.
He asked the dean in charge: "You have reached a conclusion on the debate over the spectator. This Miss Ming also answered the fifth question. How do you evaluate it?"
The headmaster came out and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, according to last night's stargazing, Pindao and others confirmed that Miss Ming's stargazing result is correct. There is indeed a murderous star in the northwest, and the time of the disaster is also very accurate.
"
"So, her observation of the national destiny is no worse than the two observer candidates?"
The elder in charge paused for a moment and said skillfully: "The two are different. Miss Ming is observing the killing star, while Xuan Fei and the two are observing the demon star."
In terms of accuracy, it is indeed Mingwei who wins. However, Xuandu Temple still wants to save face. Xuan Fei will succeed the temple leader, and he will be the national master next. You can't say that he is inferior to a little girl, right?
The emperor understood, but did not expose him, and said with a smile: "Okay, then according to what you said, what should I reward the concubine for her fortune?"
The headmaster immediately said: "The noble concubine's peace tree should belong to Miss Ming."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Since she is not inferior to Xuanfei, and Xuanfei has won the position of the master of the temple, shouldn't that epiphyllum flower belong to her?"
How could the headmaster agree, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, this epiphyllum flower was transformed by Master Xuxing, and was recovered by his disciple Xuanfei. It is a good story. Of course, this view will not cause Miss Ming to suffer.
This calming tree belongs to Miss Ming, and we will produce another epiphyllum flower."
"Well, that's true..." The emperor was about to agree. He also felt that what the headmaster said was reasonable. Xuanfei was going to be the national preceptor in the future, and the national preceptor was to serve him. The best epiphyllum flower was not
Give it to him, and to whom?
Unexpectedly, I heard a voice: "Your Majesty!"
When he saw it, he turned out to be Xuan Fei.
Xuan Fei came out of the queue, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Ming is superb in mystical arts, and I am willing to be inferior to you. I'd better give this epiphyllum flower to her."
