A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

Jiuzhu quickly discovered that Lu Zhaoyi was deliberately begging her, but her attitude of begging would not be annoying.

This feeling is like Princess An, warm and just right, pleasing and comfortable.

What she didn't expect was that when she was about to arrive at Mingyue Palace, she met Concubine Xu, the biological mother of King Huai.

Concubine Xu was pale and weak, and was supported by a palace maid when she walked.

"Why doesn't Niangniang sit on the chariot?" Lv Zhaoyi said quickly, "How can your body be able to bear it when you come here like this?"

"Come to greet the Empress, if you are sitting on a chariot, wouldn't it seem insincere?" Concubine Xu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed softly, and bowed her knees in a slight salute to Jiuzhu.

Jiuzhu returned a salute: "Concubine Xu, your mother is tolerant and generous, your son is not easy, even if you come by foot, the maiden won't blame you. If you walk halfway, because of If you faint from illness, not only will your father and mother worry about you, but if you let the uninformed, you will also suspect that your mother is treating your concubines harshly."

Concubine Xu's coughing stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing: "Princess is right, it's the concubine who didn't think about it carefully."

Lv Zhaoyi and Wei Zhaoyi did not speak, because she recalled the fearful memory of copying scriptures and Ming Jiuzhu teaching her to worship incense to God.

Princess Chen is a sharp blade on the side of the empress.

Before she married King Chen, she was already afraid of her.

It's just that when she copied the scriptures, the emperor took pity on her for her frailty and didn't ask her to come with her, because she didn't know enough about the princess's speaking style.

Seeing the stiff smile on Concubine Xu's face, Lu Zhaoyi silently looked away, the days in the palace are still on, Concubine Xu will slowly understand.

"Sister Spring Equinox, please go to the mother's palace and ask Aunt Xiangshuang to arrange for Bu Nian to come and take Concubine Xu to the Mingyue Palace." Jiuzhu felt distressed for such a delicate beauty.

"No, no need..."

"Yes." Jiuzhu supported Concubine Xu: "The lady is weak and not tired. You don't have to worry that your mother will reprimand you. She is a gentler child, and she will definitely not be dissatisfied with you because of these things."

Concubine Xu: "..."

Of course she knew that Su Meidai wouldn't mind her. It was not easy for her to get here from Zhaoxiang Palace, but Mingyue Palace arranged for Bu Nian to pick her up. Isn't the road ahead of her a waste of time?

"Mother, you don't have to be too moved, someone like your mother." Jiuzhu Concubine Xu was so moved that she couldn't speak, she said with a smile, "Don't worry, when you go back, your mother will also arrange a chariot to see you off."

"Yes, Concubine Xu." Lu Zhaoyi knew very well that the time to ask Princess Chen had come, and quickly opened her mouth to help Jiuzhu and the Empress: "The Empress is always kind and gentle, if you insist on walking to the Mingyue Palace, the Empress should have How distressed."

Concubine Xu looked at the vigorous eunuch who came flying with her chariots from a distance. She knew that there was no point in resigning at this moment, and a smile appeared on her face, "Thank you so much, Empress Dowager, and Princess Chen for being sympathetic."

Jiuzhu looked at the smile on Concubine Xu's face, and sighed inwardly, the sick beauty smiled.

She has extended a helping hand for the sick beauty, and today is another day of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue and having a good time.

"Hahahaha." Su sat on the phoenix seat, caressing her stomach and laughed, "You said that Concubine Xu, a strong and sick beauty, met Jiuzhu, would she be so angry that her illness and pain would be completely eliminated?"

"Niangniang." Xiangxian helped her with her makeup: "The princess said that it was you who felt sorry for Concubine Xu, so you gave Buchan to pick it up."

"Yes, yes, it's the palace that loves her dearly." Su almost burst into tears with a smile: "When Concubine Xu arrives, I must see if her face is more rosy than usual."

It turned out that Concubine Xu's complexion was indeed quite rosy, but it was because of her anger.

Because there was a delay in waiting for the carriage of Mingyue Palace, when she arrived, several other concubines had already arrived. When she was sitting alone on the chariot, her eyes were more sour than the fruit on the lemon tree.

What can Concubine Xu say? Could she be able to say in front of someone that Concubine Chen "forced" her to sit?

Unexpectedly, at a young age, Ming Jiuzhu already knew how to kill!

Jiu Zhu noticed that Concubine Xu was peeking at her, and smiled and nodded at her.

I know I must be thanking myself, but these are trivial things that don't deserve to be mentioned.

In the main hall of Taiyang Palace, several officials from the Six Divisions fought red-faced for the pardon.

Some think that taxes should be reduced or exempted, and some think that the world should be amnesty. However, he was arguing happily on the surface, and what he wanted most in his heart was the imperial court to open up Enke.

Everyone in the audience, who has few children, grandchildren and nephews who are studying, if you add an Enke, you will have one more chance to win among the generations.

But because of this, he couldn't open his mouth so easily.

Those who quarrel with each other understand in their hearts, and those who have not spoken, understand that everyone expects someone to start this, but it is themselves who do not want to start.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that the adults are right." Ming Jingzhou stood up: "But Wei Chen thinks that there is another way to forgive grace."

I'm coming.

The officials who were arguing stopped one after another. He looked at Ming Jingzhou with encouraging eyes and said, hurry up and say it.

"Oh?" Emperor Longfeng looked up at Ming Jingzhou: "What is Caritas's idea?"

The hall was so quiet that a needle fell.

"Wei ministers are bold, and ask Your Majesty to open up Enke and accept the wise men of the world." Ming Jingzhou bowed and saluted: "There are many good ministers, and it is also a matter for me to become successful."

Emperor Longfeng frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with the proposal, he turned to look

To other officials: "What do you think about it?"

He asked about the officials who were arguing just now.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks... Lord Ming's words are very reasonable."

"Wei Chen agrees."

"Don't you want to reduce or exempt taxes or give amnesty to light prisoners?" Emperor Longfeng shook his head: "Although Caritas Qing meant it, but now that it's February, let the students rush to the capital to participate in Enke, and treat him well. Yan is too tired, I think this is inappropriate."

All the ministers: "..."

What's wrong?

If the imperial court can add Enke, students from all over the world will climb to the capital even if they climb.

Han Chuang has been studying hard for decades, isn't he just thinking about goods and the emperor's family?

Tiredness is nothing. After so many years of studying hard, which scholar would dislike one more Enke.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thought..."

"No need to say any more." Emperor Longfeng interrupted Ming Jingzhou: "Caritas Qing, think of other ideas."

The six officials present were half-hearted, and it seemed that there was no hope for Garenke.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Chen begs."

Emperor Longfeng glanced at several ministers: "Xuan."

"My son-in-law worships the father and the emperor." King Chen walked into the main hall wearing a prince's robe. He glanced at the people in the hall and said, "Is everyone here?"

The officials of the Sixth Department thought of the memorials whose handwriting was suspected to be of His Royal Highness King Chen, and their mood was very complicated.

"Being an official and passing the prince."

"Your Excellencies are very polite." The atmosphere in King Chen's hall was a little solemn: "What are the royal father and the adults discussing?"

"You came right. I and several adults are discussing the matter of forgiveness. You are the blood of the emperor and the emperor. How do you think you should forgive me?" He smiled and turned his attention to his son.

"Since it's a grace, I must choose the one that is most beneficial to me." King Chen thought for a while: "What does the royal father think about adding Enke?"

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and silently called for King Chen in their hearts.

His Royal Highness King Chen, show your usual stubbornness, and you must stick to this suggestion to the end. The hope of all scholars in the world rests on you.

"Add Kai Enke?" Emperor Longfeng frowned slightly: "Why did you choose this style? I remember that you didn't like reading very much when you were a child."

"Father, it is precisely because my son knows how hard it is to study that he understands how difficult it is for the adults who have passed the imperial examinations." King Chen cupped his hands and bowed: "In previous years, when the imperial examinations were released, my son saw with his own eyes that those stubborn scholars might be saddened. Weeping, or weeping with joy, the mood is very complicated."

All the civil servants: It turns out that His Royal Highness King Chen thinks that scholars are strong and sturdy?

Although Prince Chen is a bit arrogant and domineering, his vision is not bad.

"If you can add an Enke, it will give him one more chance to show his talent." King Chen said: "Anyway, let Erchen study as hard as he does, Erchen can't do it."

All the civil servants suddenly felt that Chen Wangcheng's appearance was also pleasing to the eye.

"I thought you didn't like reading, because you hated literati, but it turns out that you think reading is hard." Emperor Longfeng said angrily, "Look at these adults by your side, he has been studying hard for several years, and he is full of financial resources. What is your face? In front of him, saying that studying is hard, reading is tiring?!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" A minister stood up and said, "His Royal Highness is young and ignorant, but his heart is upright, he dares to speak out, and even if he has some shortcomings, he does not hide his faults."

This lord, half a year ago, he impeached King Chen for spending a hundred gold to buy a cricket and a cockfight, and now it has become a shame.

"Your Majesty, although His Highness does not like to read, but His Highness Weichen is always better than others in his words and deeds. Please don't criticize your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness donated thousands of silver for Hongwen Academy. This kind of pure heart makes the ministers and others moved."

"That's all." Under the persuasion of many ministers, Emperor Longfeng reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart: "For the sake of your lords, I will spare you once today."

"Father, what do you mean, you want to open Enke?"

"What does Kaienke have to do with whether I will spare you?" Emperor Longfeng laughed angrily: "You are so 'nature' who don't even read books, what kind of enke do you mean to mention."

"It's okay if you want." Emperor Longfeng loved his son so much that he couldn't bear to reject him directly, but put forward a very excessive request: "If you want to be more open to Enke, as long as you finish the "Nongsang Ji" within five days, I will do as you say."

This is a book about agriculture, and the whole book is as thick as a brick.

All the civil servants were suddenly desperate. His Majesty clearly didn't want to worry about this matter, so he proposed such harsh conditions to King Chen.

"." King Chen bowed: "As evidenced by several ministers, I will be able to recite the entire "Nongsang Ji" in five days."

All the civil servants "touched" their sleeves and began to ask for a shorthand way to provide King Chen.

"Forget it, step back." Emperor Longfeng smiled casually: "On the fifth day, I will call a few adults and let you face him."

Several officials from the Sixth Division walked out of the Taiyang Palace together with King Chen. At this moment, the officials looked at King Chen, not looking at a prince, but looking at the hope of young students in the entire Dacheng Dynasty.

"Aunt Xiangshuang." Jiuzhu saw several officials surrounding His Highness from a distance, her eyes were particularly hot, and she was worried: "What do these adults want to do to His Highness?"

She raised her skirt and hurried towards King Chen.

When I got close, I heard one of the adults say: "Your Highness, I have a son who can refresh the mind and refresh the mind. It was handed down from the ancestors. It is very useful. Do you want to try it?"
