The deputy director of the Examination Yuan, "for fear of taking responsibility," did not reveal a single word about the attack on the road when he handed the sealed test papers to the Ministry of Rites.
Jun Baozhu was already fast asleep in the carriage on the way back to the palace.
When I arrived at Kunning Palace, I saw Jun Baozhu in the prince's arms, with sweat on her forehead and snoring like a drum...
The Queen and Concubine Li were both at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The prince thanked Concubine Li and explained how Jun Baozhu drank goat milk and water in the afternoon...
The Queen held Concubine Li's hand and thanked her repeatedly.
Concubine Li looked gentle. Seeing her daughter like this, she knew she was being well taken care of...
The snoring was loud, and Concubine Li knew that this meant that her daughter was excited before...
Following the Queen's orders, Concubine Li took her daughter in her arms and walked towards the Qiwu Palace.
Concerning the situation of the special examination, which involved the reserve of personnel for the court, the Queen did not ask a single question.
The prince observed calmly, without any sign of anxiety on his face...
My heart gradually calmed down.
The Queen ordered the palace maids to bring the ginseng soup that she had prepared in advance, and said to the Prince with concern:
"My son, you have worked hard. Drink this bowl of ginseng soup first to refresh yourself.
Your father is waiting for you in Xuanzheng Hall!"
The prince bowed in thanks and drank slowly.
The mother and son were silent. The palace was quiet. Suddenly, the prince looked up...
He met the Queen's eyes and they both smiled silently.
Jun Baozhu slept until midnight.
Worried that her daughter might be hungry, Concubine Li stayed by her side and slept lightly.
Hearing the noise, he immediately got up and fed his daughter.
Jun Baozhu raised her little face and looked at her mother, full of joy.
【Mother is so nice! 】
He ate anxiously for a while before slowing down.
Huo Feng realized that she was full, so he spoke up and provided her with "after-meal snacks" as usual...
Fire Phoenix: [There is a melon...]
Jun Baozhu immediately turned around and looked at Huo Feng.
Huo Feng: [While you were asleep, the prince went to meet the emperor...]
[Report all the major and minor events that happened in the examination hall to the emperor.]
[The point is that the test papers were swapped...]
[Although I knew about the prince's plan in advance, I didn't expect...]
[The prince can actually see so far ahead, ten steps ahead in one chess move, he is really amazing! ]
[However, I am afraid that there will be an unusually fierce battle at the court tomorrow, but the emperor and the prince, father and son, should be able to achieve their wish with cooperation...]
[If this is true, the employment style and arrangement of people in the Dafeng Dynasty will be greatly improved...]
[This is more meaningful than issuing a decree or reforming a decree...]
Jun Baozhu couldn't hide her pride, [right?]
[My father and my brother the crown prince are just so great! ]
[Other demons and monsters are not as powerful as them! ]
Upon hearing this, Concubine Li just assumed that her daughter knew in advance about the Emperor and the Crown Prince's arrangements...
I didn't take it to heart.
Jun Baozhu suddenly thought of something and asked Huo Feng:
[A fierce battle? What fierce battle?]
Concubine Li raised her eyebrows.
Huo Feng: [Just wait and see when you go to court tomorrow! ]
【It will definitely be lively! 】
[The Crown Prince’s purpose was not just to expose the fact that the exam papers were almost swapped...]
[After all, if we don’t catch a man in black, we won’t be able to get anything out of him even if we catch him…]
[The point is, the prince wants to use this as a breakthrough to find the culprit...]
[Leaving the ministers powerless to refute, thus achieving the goal of replacing the Ministry of Rites and the Examination Yuan personnel...]
[The imperial examination is the main way to enter the government. Judging from recent developments, the Ministry of Rites has a big problem! ]
[You should be able to see the problem of the examination institute clearly...]
[If we don’t get rid of these two “tumors”, the foundation of the Dafeng Dynasty will only get worse!]
[Talented people cannot enter the court, and those who can enter the court are the result of decades of game-playing among officials who have controlled the imperial examinations and the court...]
[The Emperor and the Crown Prince will remain passive from now on...]
When Jun Baozhu heard this, her heart was filled with emotion.
[Even though it's so difficult, Father and the Crown Prince still insist on changing, right? ]
[Father and the Crown Prince are so awesome! ]
Huo Feng affirmed: [Indeed, he has the courage to both defend the status quo and to explore new areas...]
[If it weren't for the accumulated problems of the previous dynasties, which made the aristocratic families powerful, the Dafeng Dynasty would have taken control of the emperor...]
[It will never be like it is now. ]
[But the fact that it has been able to maintain its current state has proven the emperor's ability...]
[If it weren't for the strong measures, perhaps the Dafeng Dynasty would have been divided up long ago, and might even have been eroded by the covetous Xiangshan Kingdom and Longhu Kingdom...]
Jun Baozhu: [Yes! ]
Fire Phoenix: [Just wait and see! Your father has prepared a huge "surprise" for them...]
Jun Baozhu: [Surprise?]
But she didn't rush to ask questions, and gave the ministers a "surprise". Of course, it would be interesting to see their shocked expressions...
