The Sixth Princess stared at the Third Prince curiously.
"What are you asking for? Marriage?"
If she had known earlier, she would have followed him secretly.
[Although it's not a marriage fortune, it's almost there.]
"Sixth sister." The third prince warned, fearing that the Sixth Princess's outspokenness would make Mu Xue uncomfortable.
The Sixth Princess closed her mouth and made a zippering gesture.
How could she forget that the Third Prince was not someone she could joke with casually?
"Your Highness, I will give you the amulet when we get back."
The carriage was moving slowly. Mu Xue saw that the Sixth Princess and Qin Qianqian seemed to be sleeping. The carriage was too quiet, so she whispered.
Qin Qianqian was about to stand up when she heard that, but the Sixth Princess quickly grabbed her.
Sister Xue must have thought they were asleep, so that’s why they were talking. Now that Qin Qianqian got up, they will definitely stop talking again.
[Sixth Sister Qin Qianqian, are you two really not eavesdropping openly?]
[His eyes were tightly closed, and his ears were erected almost as high as a rabbit's.]
The Third Prince glanced at the two of them and said softly to Mu Xue, "Okay."
…
The carriage returned to the capital and first sent Mu Xue and Qin Qianqian back to the mansion. Then the third prince ordered the coachman to go to the palace.
When they arrived at the palace gate, the third prince got off the carriage and took the sixth princess straight to the imperial study.
When Meng You was sent back, the emperor was waiting for the third prince to come back. When he heard someone coming in to report, he hurriedly asked the third prince and the sixth princess to come in.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
The emperor walked down to take Yu Yiluo, sat back in front of the long desk, and then let the two of them stand up.
"What happened to Meng You?"
[The tyrant is really good at pretending. He clearly knows everything but still asks. I don't even know if Meng You's wife has arrived yet.]
"Your Majesty, Meng You attempted to do something unkind to Sixth Sister. This minister, the princess, and Miss Qin witnessed it with our own eyes, so we have specially sent him back to Your Majesty for your punishment."
The Sixth Princess quickly chimed in, "That's right. Fortunately, I'm quick-witted, otherwise this man would have succeeded. This kind of person is truly unworthy of being the top scholar. Father, you must make the decision for me."
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Cao.
"Go and convey my oral order, asking everyone to come to the Golden Palace to discuss important matters."
This matter caused quite a stir, and the King of Yueqing soon got the news.
"Your Highness," the subordinate hurried in, "I heard that the Sixth Princess and the Third Prince have entered the palace. Now the Emperor has sent a message for the ministers to enter the palace. Could it be that Meng You has succeeded?"
Prince Yueqing curled his lips, obviously thinking the same thing as his subordinates.
Could it be that the Sixth Princess entered the palace to ask the Emperor for a marriage?
If Meng You still can't succeed even with the medicine he gave him, then he is really a waste.
He asked in a good mood, "Who did the emperor summon into the palace?"
"Your Highness, everyone who attended the court has gone, including the runner-up and third place winners."
After hearing this, Prince Yueqing became even more certain that the emperor had something important to say. Could it be that he was assigning positions to the three people while granting the marriage?
"Keep watching, and tell me the good news."
…
In the palace.
The neatly dressed ministers stood in the Golden Palace, wondering what the emperor meant by this action.
Could it be that the Secretariat has already finalized the assessment, and the Emperor summoned them now just to make the announcement and catch them off guard?
The emperor dislikes many of them, so it is not impossible for him to do this.
I guess everyone was thinking of the same thing, the atmosphere in the Golden Palace became very quiet and depressing.
"I have asked you all to come here today to discuss the top three candidates in the imperial examination."
The ministers were stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't about an assessment, so the emperor didn't catch them off guard and they could still prepare well.
Since I can't resist anyway, I can only try my best to keep my official hat.
"Your Majesty, has this matter changed?"
Prime Minister Li stepped forward and asked everyone’s questions, “Hasn’t everything been finalized?”
This is no small matter. If the emperor changes the result casually, it would be too frivolous.
"Come here, bring the person up."
As soon as the emperor said this, the ministers all turned their eyes to the entrance of the Golden Palace.
Meng You, who was tied up, was seen walking in being carried by two guards.
The ministers looked at each other, their doubts growing even stronger.
Didn’t the emperor praise the top scholar highly? Why did he tie him up? Did the top scholar offend the emperor?
Yang Jin and Cai Ze stood aside, listening to the ministers' discussions.
"Splash water on him to wake him up."
Meng You was suddenly splashed with water and woke up from his coma.
He felt a little dizzy. Listening to the discussions around him, he looked around. This look scared him so much that he almost fainted again.
Why are there so many people? The Emperor is here too.
He remembered that he was still in Baiyun Temple, so how did he end up in the Golden Palace again?
"Meng You, do you admit your guilt?"
Meng You came to his senses and tried to stand up but couldn't, only to find that he was tied up.
The two guards beside him helped him up and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed."
"You are so innocent," the emperor sneered. "You intended to do something inappropriate to the princess, and I can't blame you wrongly."
Upon hearing this, the ministers were worried for Meng You. The last prince consort who had committed misconduct against the princess was probably reincarnated.
How dare Meng You do that? He actually behaved badly towards the princess and didn't cherish her bright future.
"Your Majesty is wronged, I am not."
He wanted to do something bad to the princess, but he failed, didn't he?
But he remembered that only the Sixth Princess and he were there at the time. Could it be that it was the Sixth Princess who filed the complaint?
Isn’t she afraid that her reputation will be damaged and she won’t be able to get married?
"Unjust?" The Sixth Princess and the Third Prince walked in. She looked down at the embarrassed Meng You. "How did I wrong you? Don't you have any intentions to do something bad to me?"
"Princess," Meng You said, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice, "I saved you. I don't ask for your gratitude, I only ask that you let me go."
[Hmm, Bo Shin-nam is starting to confuse right and wrong.]
Meng You looked towards the emperor and said aggrievedly:
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess is in love with me and even invited me to dinner at a restaurant. I didn't know the princess's identity before, but after I found out, I realized I wasn't worthy of her. I never thought the princess would retaliate against me like this just because I rejected her."
[Hahaha, is this the power of words? The Sixth Princess went straight from victim to domineering princess whose courtship was rejected.]
How did Meng You manage to say this without laughing? If he looked in the mirror right now, he'd know how embarrassed he was.
"I'm attracted to you?" The Sixth Princess said, as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke. "What do I like about you? Do I like that you're as skinny as a monkey, or do I like that you deliberately frightened your horse and ran into me just to curry favor with the rich and powerful?"
[As expected of a tyrant's daughter, Sixth Princess has a powerful tongue.]
The Sixth Princess was a little angry at first, but after hearing Yu Yiluo's words, she felt much better.
She walked up to Meng You and said contemptuously, "If you look in the mirror right now, you won't be able to say that. I'm not blind."
