Chapter 553: Crazy Princess Zhaoyang
Three days later, the palace examination ended. The top scorer was Su Qiwen, the second place was Wen Yunzhi, and the third place was Luo Changlin.
It was really surprising that Luo Changlin won the third place.
Only Luo Dinghai was not surprised, as he knew his son best. Even though he had not touched a pen for more than ten years, he would review the books he had read before in his mind whenever he had free time, as well as his experience over the past ten years.
In addition, Murong Li does not want those who only study hard and know the theories in books, but those who have worked hard in society, like Luo Changlin and Su Qiwen.
They have life experience and know the sufferings of the people. They will not retreat when faced with difficulties, but will only move forward bravely.
Because experience tells them that retreating means having no food to eat, even if they are beaten, they will not starve.
Being beaten may not necessarily lead to death, but being hungry will definitely lead to death.
Su Qiming and Su Qicheng also passed the imperial examination and were admitted to the Hanlin Academy.
Most of the other Jinshi served in the court, starting from the grassroots level. After all, Murong Li needed talents to fill the court. There were too many people who occupied the toilet but did nothing, and it was time for the old guys to go home and retire.
Su Qiwen followed Murong Li directly and helped him manage the government affairs. Although he was criticized, Su Qiwen's ability was obvious to all.
He went to provide disaster relief at such a young age and completed the task perfectly. He was very lucky to have such a great reputation. He was also the emperor's brother-in-law, and he successfully deceived the public.
No one could win the bet, and no one dared to face Murong Li's eyes that were as sharp as scraping bones.
In Murong Li's eyes, his decision was unquestionable. You could have opinions and just raise them, but they had to be reasonable and able to convince him, otherwise, get out.
Only at this time did the ministers truly understand what tyranny, autocracy, and conceit meant. Compared with their new emperor, the retired emperor's abilities were nothing but a drizzle that only sprinkled water.
After obtaining the consent of the runner-up Wen Yuanzhi, Murong Li indeed arranged for Su Yan to be his wife. The wedding was held a month later, and his parents also had time to come to the capital.
After the marriage, he returned to Liangzhou to take up his post.
Murong Li deliberately wanted to train him, so he gave him a seventh-rank county magistrate. After three years, if his political achievements were good, he could be promoted.
As for Luo Changlin, he was easy to deal with. Murong Li directly assigned him to the Ministry of Works to help his father Luo Dinghai and run errands.
Luo Dinghai was eager to do so, and he really hoped that his son could take over his business.
The imperial examination ended successfully, and Murong Li also had some time to accompany Su Yue.
Su Yue's morning sickness hasn't ended yet, but she basically stays in the space. The spiritual energy in the space makes her feel better.
When the eldest lady heard that Su Yue was pregnant with triplets, she wanted to go to the palace to see her, but Su Qiming's matter had to be taken care of.
Su Qiming is not young anymore, he is twenty years old this year. Thanks to Su Yue's relationship and the careful selection of the eldest lady, he married a noble lady in the capital and then set up his own business.
At this point, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su no longer had any complaints against the first wife. Even if they had complaints, they could only keep them in their hearts.
In a situation like theirs, the eldest lady still came forward to make arrangements for Su Qiming, which was really a very kind thing to do.
By the way, Su Qicheng's marriage was also arranged. He and Su Yan are twins and are sixteen years old.
The eldest lady found a good marriage for him. The girl was the second daughter of the Minister of War.
On the day when the marriage was decided, Aunt Yao hugged Su Qicheng and his sister and cried heartily. She had finally waited until her end, and both the brother and sister had found their own good marriages.
She knew that these were all given by Su Yue and the eldest lady.
From then on, Aunt Yao became more respectful to the eldest lady. When she had nothing to do, she would help the eldest lady take care of Luo Meiting. The eldest lady felt relieved. With Aunt Yao helping to take care of Luo Meiting, the eldest lady's burden was also lightened.
Specially arrange marriage for Su Yan.
Seeing that the two of them got along so well even when they were old, Mr. Su would go to Aunt Yao's room from time to time. He had indeed neglected Aunt Yao over the years and had even given birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, for him.
Uncle Su was thinking about compensating Aunt Yao a little. After all, she was a pitiful woman. Since that night, he had never set foot in her room for so many years, leaving him to suffer as a widow.
Uncle Su felt that he was the scumbag that Yue'er mentioned.
The eldest lady did not bother with him about these things. Now they were all old and had long passed the age of romance. Now they only hoped that their children could be successful and have grandchildren as soon as possible, so that they could enjoy the company of their grandchildren in the future. This was their greatest wish.
The happiest people are the old marquis and the old lady. They have a harmonious family, many children and grandchildren, and their children and grandchildren are promising. The eldest granddaughter is the most honorable queen. They often say that even if they die, their life will be worth it.
Su Yan's wedding day is just a few days away. Su Yue's morning sickness has improved a little, and when she has nothing to do, she goes out for a walk in the Imperial Garden. She is still thinking about going out to attend Su Yan's wedding banquet in a few days.
It's really uncomfortable to be locked up in the palace. I can't do anything I want.
Su Yue gave Su Yan some makeup today and was in a particularly good mood. After dinner, she asked Hongye and Hongyu to help her take a walk around the Imperial Garden.
Now all kinds of flowers in the imperial garden are blooming brightly and fragrantly. Su Yue likes the fragrance of the flowers very much.
The two women supported Su Yue and walked slowly. Suddenly, a young lady came towards them with her head lowered and a tray in her hand.
I don't know what's in the tray.
Hongye and Hongyu thought that the palace maid would definitely move aside when she saw them coming.
Unexpectedly, the palace maid came directly in front of the three people, stopped, and bowed respectfully to Su Yue: "This servant greets the Queen."
Su Yue nodded: "Get up."
Su Yue thought that after she said this, the palace maid would stand up and let them pass. However, unexpectedly, the palace maid's right hand, which was dragging the tray, suddenly held a dagger and stabbed at Su Yue fiercely.
The palace maid's speed was unexpected. When Su Yue saw the gleaming dagger heading towards her stomach, her pupils shrank, and when the dagger was about to pierce her abdomen, she suddenly fell to the ground.
Even if she is stabbed, her child will not be hurt.
“Puff!”
The dagger pierced Su Yue's shoulder blade.
"Empress!"
The accident happened so quickly that Hongye and Hongyu's minds went blank. They didn't know how to save Su Yue, so they had to fall to the ground with her. The moment they fell, Hongye immediately stretched out her legs and let Su Yue sit on her legs.
Su Yue sat down on Hongye's legs, grimacing in pain.
"My Queen, My Queen, are you okay? Quick, catch the assassin!"
Hongyu also stretched out her hand to block Su Yue from falling to the ground, and then shouted loudly.
The guards who were secretly protecting Su Yue immediately flew down from the sky when they saw Su Yue being stabbed. One of them restrained the palace maid while the other helped Su Yue up. They asked in panic, "My Lady, how are you?"
