Chapter 190 Shield
Pei Xuanyun is an old man who pays attention to health preservation and takes a short nap every afternoon.
As a result, he was awakened by his subordinates and saw the memorial in a daze.
"Prime Minister Pei, the Third Prince is so capable that he solved the problem within a day."
Everyone in the government and the country knew that the Shufeng Dynasty had ill intentions.
If there were not too much external pressure, it would be impossible to temporarily modify the imperial examination rules and increase the number of places in the provincial examination.
Solve? Pei Xuanyun scoffed inwardly.
How is that possible? Even His Majesty himself might not be able to do it.
If you look closely at the names on the memorials, you will find that the pen strokes, depth, and structure of the fonts are all different, and it really looks like each person signed his or her own name.
Hmm? Old Pei found the key point.
Logically speaking, the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family should also be among them.
I quickly scanned it from beginning to end and made sure there was nothing missing.
If you say it’s true, it’s indeed incomplete; if you say it’s complete... I don’t believe it!
"Prime Minister Pei, should we send the seal to the imperial palace immediately?"
Memorials were screened three times by Fenggetai and delivered once a day.
In case of emergency, the prime minister can also decide whether to submit a separate report.
The official felt the matter was urgent after reading the memorial, so he woke up the old man who was taking a nap.
Pei Xuanyun nodded and said, "Yes, I'll send it immediately, but you don't need to print it."
"Huh?" The officer was confused. This wasn't a common practice before.
Before I could ask any questions, the old man lay down again with his back turned, looking as if he didn't want to talk to anyone.
There was no other way, he could only do as he was told and send someone into the palace to run errands.
Pei Xuanyun, who was turned away, was mumbling something, but it was unclear what he said.
Old and young, everyone is using him as a raft, right?
He is a Pei Xiang in front of people, but an old man who keeps getting older behind their backs. He must be under so much pressure now. He has been holding on for almost fourteen years.
Is he easy? Don't you think he's not hated enough?
There's no way. Let her mother handle it herself.
In this way, the freshly-made memorial was delivered to the palace and directly landed on Qin Minghuang's desk.
The content had been prepared long ago, which was a request to add the registration for the preliminary examination to the provincial examination.
Qin Minghuang's eyes quickly swept over the names. When the third brother drew up the list, she knew who was included.
Without her tacit consent, Xuanji Guard would not have cooperated and obtained the handwriting of these women for copying.
Soon, Qin Minghuang summoned Dou Zuan, the pale-masked Xuanji Guard who imitated the handwriting.
He is a centurion directly under Yinzhe, and is actually better at torture and punishment.
Dou Zuan explained the process in a few words, and it was just as Qin Minghuang expected.
Regardless of the method or the deliberate omission of the Zheng family girl, it was all Xiaoliu's work.
"Heh." Qin Minghuang snorted coldly.
This girl is very shrewd and I was able to detect some of her intentions from the clues.
Perhaps only the fourth girl can match her in terms of sharp thinking, but these two girls are a real worry.
A taciturn person who does not excel in anything, only performs at an above-average level, not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes;
A playful game, which ruined his reputation and made him not want to participate in government affairs at all.
The third child is considered to be a strategic person, but he is used as a shield by his two younger sisters.
Why……
"That's it."
"yes!"
Dou Zuan left the imperial study, still thinking to himself.
His Majesty actually fulfilled the Sixth Princess's wish and ignored the girl from Duke Zheng's mansion.
He shook his head, thinking that this matter was not his business and he should just go back to the prison.
The Sixth Princess was right when she said that it would be better for her to show up less and write less with her ability.
In Liuyuan Garden, people are waking up one after another.
They are all of noble status, so the drugs used by Yinzhe naturally have no side effects.
There is no need to take antidote, you will wake up on your own after sleeping for about half an hour.
Some people looked confused, some looked very ugly, and seeing that the people around them were the same as themselves, they had vague guesses in their hearts.
There were only two princesses sitting in front, and no one dared to ask for a while.
When all forty-one people woke up, Qin Zhaowan, who was at the head of the group, bowed and saluted.
"Thank you all for your understanding and for extending a helping hand in times of crisis. This palace and the court will never forget your contributions.
After the provincial examination, I will submit a petition to His Majesty to request titles for you all."
Zheng Huiyin's face was as gloomy as water. She had just been guessing, but after hearing what the Third Prince said, she was completely convinced of what had happened.
"Your Highnesses, this is inappropriate."
Qin Zhaowan thought that there was nothing wrong with it, since it wasn't your name anyway. He remained calm and ignored her words.
"The memorials submitted by all of you who volunteered have been submitted to the Imperial Palace. Please return home and study hard, and do not tarnish my reputation as a talented woman."
After saying this, without waiting for a response, he stood up and left, leaving the talented women in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What... should I do?"
A woman sitting at the back was almost crying. She came from a noble family and her family tradition of poetry and literature was passed down.
Yesterday, my father and grandfather gave me a lecture all day long. Going to the literary gathering was just a formality, and I should not agree to anything His Highness said.
Now that she is forced to "volunteer", how can she explain herself when asked to go home?
There was a cry of grief in the hall, and Zheng Huiyin slammed the desk fiercely.
"Okay, crying is no use!
So what if they use some tricks to write down our names? Can they force us to take the exam?
Even if we're forced into the examination room, can he still write for us?"
Zheng Huiyin suddenly stood up and walked straight out.
Despite the unexpected twists and turns, the purpose of her trip has been achieved.
He reappeared at the literary gathering in a dazzling manner, and there was no overt conflict between him and the Sixth Princess, which was enough to restore his reputation.
As for the implication in the Third Princess' words today, Zheng Huiyin needs to return home as soon as possible to tell her father.
Since the memorial has been sent to the palace, it means that this matter has been tacitly approved by His Majesty.
They can force them to sign up in such a dishonorable way, who knows what other tricks are hidden behind it.
Whether through coercion or the use of public opinion, it is impossible to stop at this point.
However, how to deal with the situation was not something she could decide; her father, brothers and elders would make the decision.
The mournful cries died down in the hall, and the talented ladies came to their senses one after another and left in a hurry.
On the other side, Qin Zhaoyue had already returned to his home.
I saw my elder sister off, earned 14,000 taels, toured Fengjing City, had a meal, and preliminarily completed His Majesty's mission.
The half day was too full and I was so tired that I collapsed as soon as I returned to the backyard.
She changed into outer clothes, washed her face, took off her hairpins and rings, and brought the ice jar to cool off. Tao Yao and Ying Nuo massaged her shoulders and pounded her legs, while Mo Yi fanned her beside her.
Yinzhe appeared and stood aside coldly.
She crossed her arms and glanced at Qin Zhaoyue, who looked like a boneless person lying on the bamboo couch, with eyes full of disgust.
If all the officials saw this, who would be able to connect her with the crown prince?
After all, I have some cultivation. How could I be so tired after being out for half a day?
Also, if someone else obtained a Divine Martial Realm-level technique from the inner court armory, they would definitely practice it day and night.
But what about Qin Zhaoyue? She never thought of this!
This was the scene Sui Mo saw when he arrived.
"How is it?"
