Yesterday we had abalone, shark's fin, and bird's nest, and today we're having a full banquet.
Not afraid of being stuffed to death!!
Zhao Yao was anxiously waiting in the hall when someone outside informed her that Lin was coming.
As soon as Lin came in, she looked around and signaled Zhao Yao to retreat.
Zhao Yao asked everyone to leave and asked, "What's going on?"
Lin looked very happy. She stepped forward and whispered, "Good news, Your Highness!"
Zhao Yao was instantly excited, "But is there any movement from Zhao Ying?"
Lin was startled when she heard this, then shook her head and said, "That's not the case."
Zhao Yao frowned in disappointment.
Seeing this, Lin comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Although it's not news from Princess Chengqian, it's still good news!"
"That family sent me a message today, saying they have a candidate for the imperial examination this year. If you can get a copy of the exam questions, not only will they not charge you any interest on your investment, they'll even give you an additional 100,000 taels!"
A trace of thought flashed across Zhao Yao's eyes...
Seeing that Zhao Yao didn't refuse, Lin said, "He probably knew that my family had a way to get the test questions, so he made this offer."
"I think it's feasible. That person said it must not be spread outside. If only one person gets the test questions, it won't attract other people's attention."
What she didn't say was that she would also get a large sum of money, and not only that, he also promised to give her an extra sum as a thank you.
Zhao Yao remained silent, obviously moved.
However, where this test question comes from is also a question.
Her idea was to let Lin go to Liu Xiang to steal. However, before she told Lin, Lin said that it was not okay for her to steal from Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang never liked her and would not open a private place like the study to her.
The only solution now is to go directly to Emperor Jianxi and steal.
And the person most suitable to do this is undoubtedly Zhao Yao himself.
Zhao Yao had some concerns at first, but Lin, who was standing next to her, was thinking about the extra money, so she urged her on. After much persuasion, Zhao Yao's concerns mostly disappeared. She cooked a bowl of soup and went to the Yangxin Palace.
At the entrance of the Yangxin Palace, Wu Yonggui came out carrying the changed ointment.
Zhao Yao took a look and asked, "Where is Father injured?"
Wu Yonggui habitually said, "He's not injured, but the weather has changed recently, and your Majesty's waist is a little painful. I just asked this servant to remove the plaster and change it."
After saying this, Wu Yonggui frowned. Why did he feel that the scene before him was particularly familiar?
Before he could think about it, Zhao Yao had already entered with a bowl of soup.
Wu Yonggui hurriedly said, "Princess Huaian is here!"
Then turn and leave.
In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Jianxi was holding the test paper with a deep frown on his face.
Should we change the topic?
It would be a shame to change such a good topic.
But if we don’t change it…even though we’ve arrested everyone who knows the test questions, what if there are still some who slip through the net?
Emperor Jianxi was thinking hard when suddenly, Zhao Yao's voice rang in his ears.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
Emperor Jianxi looked up, then hid the test questions without leaving any trace and stuffed them into the memorial.
"Huaian is here..."
Zhao Yao took a furtive glance and then quickly looked away.
Hearing this, he stood up and walked towards Emperor Jianxi. He placed the bowl of soup next to him and said with a smile, "I heard that your father has been very busy recently. I am worried that your father is not feeling well, so I specially cooked a soup with spinach, tofu, yam, lily, angelica, codonopsis, cassia seed, bitter melon, red dates, astragalus, and angelica. Please try it."
Emperor Jianxi: ...
His daughter is indeed a nun. She loves to cook as much as her mother does, but she never touches any meat!
Emperor Jianxi coughed twice and said, "Put it down!"
Then the father and daughter had nothing to say, and Emperor Jianxi took a copy of the memorial to read.
Zhao Yao had been thinking about how to divert Emperor Jianxi away and get the test questions stuffed in the memorial. After a while, her eyes shifted to the bowl of soup.
She picked it up and said, "Father, the soup will taste bad if it gets cold."
As he spoke, he was about to force it to Emperor Jianxi. However, Emperor Jianxi had learned from his previous experience. When he saw Zhao Yao coming over with the soup, he immediately stood up from the dragon throne and took a few steps away. "Put it there, put it there!"
Zhao Yao saw Emperor Jianxi walking away, her eyebrows furrowed, and she hurried after him with the bowl in hand, "Father, drink it!"
"Put it there first!"
Emperor Jianxi was also anxious. What was he drinking? If he drank it, he would die!
Zhao Yao simply refused to listen to what Emperor Jianxi said and only wanted to achieve his own goal. So, after a long chase, Emperor Jianxi hid behind a pillar, but was still caught up by Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao's eyes lit up and she suddenly groaned.
"Ouch, it's hot, hot!"
As he said that, he poured the bowl of soup onto Emperor Jianxi!
What a coincidence, it’s still the familiar location.
Feeling the familiar pain, Emperor Jianxi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Emperor Jianxi had a sullen face and said nothing.
Zhao Yao knelt down in a pretentious manner, "Father, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianxi was so angry that his vision went dark. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the dragon throne, his fingers trembling as he gritted his teeth and said, "You didn't mean to do it? You chased me all the way here... just to dump the soup on me, and you still say it wasn't intentional?!"
"Then what is intentional?"
"What do you mean by intentional?"
Zhao Yao looked in the direction of Emperor Jianxi's hand, and then realized that she had indeed been too obvious...
Zhao Yao lowered her head and dared not speak.
Emperor Jianxi was furious and pointed at Zhao Yao, "Wait until I change my clothes before I deal with you!"
After saying that, he called Wu Yonggui.
Wu Yonggui looked at the familiar scene in front of him and felt a little confused for a moment.
