"Imperial Father, this answer sheet was sent to the Gongyuan by the servants." Qi Yang spoke candidly, as if it were a matter of course.
The emperor was a little stunned, and then became angry, even if he had already guessed, he still felt unbelievable. Equation Yue, who was still kneeling beside him, was not surprised, but at this moment he didn't dare to raise his head, he simply lowered his eyebrows and pretended that he didn't exist.
With a "bang", the emperor slapped the imperial case with a heavy palm, and even jumped three times with the tea cup at hand, making a crisp porcelain collision sound: "Nonsense! Child's play?!"
Qi Yang didn't panic, he still maintained a proper salutation attitude, but explained: "Father has misunderstood. My son has no intention of interfering in the imperial examinations. The reason why I sent this answer sheet is just to borrow the hands of the examiners in Chunwei. , to help you evaluate this answer sheet." After a slight pause, he added: "I deliberately did not leave my name, just to prevent accidental selection of this answer sheet."
There seems to be some truth to this statement, although it is false no matter how you listen to it.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't speak for a while, just stared at Qi Yang, his expression indifferent between joy and anger.
Qi Yang also looked at the emperor, her eyes were so clear that she could not see the city, she only showed some cunning and a little ingratiating - she was always favored by the emperor, and she always acted in a measured way. a bit.
Seeing that the emperor was temporarily appeased, Qi Yang looked at Fang Yue again, and asked as if nothing had happened: "Master Fang, how is this answer sheet? This palace just heard you say that you should nod your name, and the current ranking is not counted, but What about the answer sheet itself?"
What else could it be? Don't you say that you should nod your name? !
The more Fang Fang understood what Qi Yang meant, he just felt that he was really unlucky, but he had to bite the bullet and say: "If you can win the favor of His Highness, the person who answered the question is naturally talented, and this answer is also rare." In fact, I also appreciated these articles, so I added: "The point is the first name, and both the minister and the examiners agree."
As soon as these words came out, the emperor was also a little curious, so he temporarily ignored Qi Yang's arrogance and asked, "Is it really that good?" Bring it to have a look with me."
After hearing the words, the inner servant stepped forward and finally took the test paper that Equation Yue had presented for a long time.
For the three nine-day exams, the answer sheets added up to a thick stack. After the emperor took it, he ignored others and read it casually. He didn't read it quickly. After reading two pages, he suddenly raised his head and said to the equation: "It's not in compliance with the rules, I didn't refer to it, and this test paper is not counted. Fang Aiqing, go back first, and postpone the ranking."
The more accurate the equation was, the more he was not held accountable by the emperor, he was also secretly relieved, and hurriedly agreed to retire.
It was only after he exited the gate of Xuan Shi Hall that he felt that his back was wet with sweat. On the way back, while secretly scolding Princess Qiyang for her reckless actions, thinking of the answer sheet, and thinking that a good talent was delayed by the princess like this, it is a pity.
Here, Fang Fang Yue has already walked out of the palace gate, and went back to the Gongyuan to give everyone an explanation. On the other side, the Emperor Xiang was still looking at the exam paper. The slower he read, the more careful he was, the more he focused, and he gradually became fascinated, and even forgot to blame Qi Yang.
Of course, neither Qi Yang nor the prince would disturb him. The brothers and sisters looked at each other and felt that the matter had become eight points.
Sure enough, when the emperor finally read the stack of answer sheets in his hand, the first sentence he raised his head was: "Where is this person now? He is so talented, why not go directly to the Gongyuan for reference?"
Qi Yang stepped forward to answer, smiling and serious before disappearing: "It was Erchen who happened to meet him on the way back to Beijing. She has great talents, but she has never participated in scientific examinations, and she has no reputation. Erchen also spent a lot of effort to get it. She wrote these exam papers in another courtyard." After a short pause, she blinked again, showing a little daughter's attitude: "Not only does she write well, but she is also beautiful."
When Qi Yang mentioned the other courtyard, the emperor had a guess in his heart - after all, there was something wrong with Zhang Zhen before - and then listened to Qi Yang boasting about her good looks and showing such a gesture, how could the emperor still not understand her thoughts
It was a bit funny in my heart. If the matter did not really involve the imperial examination hall, it meant that it was just the little daughter's nonsense. The emperor was much more tolerant: "This person is indeed talented, and the emperor's recommendation has merit, but what reward do you want?"
In one sentence, the matter is defined in the recommendation, and the meaning of obedience, it seems that he is going to rob Qi Yang.
How could Qi Yang not understand that the emperor was joking again, she blinked her eyes and turned her eyes slightly, and then smiled: "My son is now in his prime, and I want to ask my father for a princess mansion. And the person who wrote the article, why don't you? How about making a long history for Erchen?"
When the princess is an adult, she always wants to build the princess mansion, so this is not a reward. After all, she is still asking for someone.
How could the emperor not know that, he pointed at her with a smile and said: "You, you, you have such talent, wouldn't it be wrong to go to the princess's palace to be a long history?" After speaking, he said: "Not to mention that the official position you want to ask for is not the emperor. What is the long history, right? The concubine, the captain, should have your heart."
Hearing this, Qi Yang blinked his eyes again, and smiled extraordinarily sweet: "The father and the emperor are very careful, and the son-in-law also thinks that the concubine is very good."
Her Royal Highness The Princess is too upright, not at all shy when ordinary women talk about marriage. However, the matter of the concubine cannot be settled in a few words. Even if the emperor himself has no plans to find a son-in-law among the royal family and nobles, basic investigations are still indispensable.
However, the character background needs to be investigated, but the talent and ability are not necessary - the answer sheet has already proved many problems. At least after the emperor had read the top ten exam papers in the Spring Festival sent by Fang Yue again, he had determined that Lu Qipei's talent in the article was indeed worthy of being the leader of the current department. It's a pity that she didn't come out through a serious imperial examination path.
Then the emperor thought for a moment, and with a big stroke of the pen on the prince's proposal, he directly ordered Lu Qipei to be appointed an official - it was written from the sixth-grade Hanlin Academy, and the grade was not comparable to the five-grade long history of the princess' mansion, but he was the champion. There will be a starting point for entering the office!
The emperor did not want to let go of talents, and believed that Lu Qipei had the talent and ability to convince the literati of the Hanlin Academy. If she can't do it, then he will take his eyes off him, and he won't even be able to stay in the Hanlin Academy, let alone think about the concubine!
The emperor's small abacus was pounding in his heart, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was very satisfied when she found out. Only when this imperial decree reached the Lu Mansion, everyone was shocked, including Lu Qipei himself.
After the palace servant who passed the decree left, Lu Qipei was surrounded by everyone's eyes.
The calm was suddenly broken, and the poor, ignorant Lu Qipei was trembling with the imperial decree, and was finally taken away by Qi Bo with a dazed face. However, after returning to the temporary residence, she was only faced with a more direct questioning.
Qi Bo looked at the imperial decree in her hand with a complicated expression: "Little... Young Master, what is the matter with this imperial decree?"
When the imperial decree to seal an official is down, Lu Qipei's identity as a woman will be completely hidden, otherwise, no matter what the emperor's decree is, they will all be guilty of deceiving the emperor. No one dares to ignore this serious crime of even the nine clans, and it is necessary to be cautious in private.
Lu Qipei was at a loss at first, but when she returned to the guest house, she actually had a guess in her heart - she didn't need to think about it at all, except for Qi Yang, she didn't know anyone who could get in touch with the emperor or even ask for an official position in front of the emperor for her. . In particular, Lu Qipei remembered the answers to the Spring Festival that he had left in the other courtyard, and I am afraid that it was precisely because of this that he caught the emperor's eyes!
She thought she was trying to catch a knife for others, but she didn't expect it to be her own villain's heart, but this result was not what she wanted!
Thinking of the answer sheet he wrote with all his might, Lu Qipei suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot, so aggrieved that he wanted to cry without tears. In the face of Zibo's cross-examination, he only replied sullenly, "Perhaps it's because I wrote a few articles for others a few days ago."
A few articles can change a sixth-rank official position? Not to mention that Zebo does not believe it, no one can believe it!
However, Lu Qipei was not a liar, Qi Bo could tell at a glance that she was telling the truth. Looking at the sudden official decree, he became more suspicious: "What article?"
Lu Qipei thought about it for a while, but didn't mention the next sentence, and simply repeated the questions one by one in the Chunwei exam.
She was telling the truth, but Qi Bo felt more and more shocked the more she heard it. There is no other reason. Even if Lu Qicheng didn't finish the Spring Festival exam this time, he ordered someone to collect the exam questions. After three years, he might have to take the exam again. It's always right to do more preparation.
Qi Bo is a shrewd person, even if Lu Qipei didn't say much, he guessed that the other party was meeting a noble. This was a bit inconsistent with his investigation, and he frowned, but he didn't say much, only said: "Young master is a good luck, you have met an honorable person and recommended it. Now that you have entered the Hanlin, it has saved you the trouble of scientific examinations, son. I should also make a difference in the Imperial Academy..."
Lu Qipei was a little uneasy when he heard it, and he always felt that things were developing in the direction of the previous life. Looking at Qi Bo's endless exhortation, how similar is it to the previous life? They are still counting on themselves to be the puppet stand-in!
I was in a trance when I heard Qi Bo ask again: "Young Master, who is the noble person who helped you? We should prepare some gifts to thank you so much."
Hearing this, Lu Qipei was shocked and made up his mind to stay away from Qi Yang, so he just said, "I don't know her identity either."
When Qi Bo heard the words, he glanced at her again. He was not forced, but his eyes were meaningful.
On this side, the person who was awarded an official was frowning. On the other side, Lu Qicheng, who was injured and lying in bed, was also very angry. When he heard the news, he directly smashed the bronze mirror at his hand. Even if he restores his appearance and replaces it one day, it will also replace Lu Qipei's name. The person who was the stand-in became him!
As high as Lu Qicheng, he couldn't accept this, and Fang Ping's mood collapsed again after a while.
The author has something to say: Qi Yang (smiling cutely): The father and the emperor are very careful, and the father and the emperor have golden mouths.
Emperor (confused): Wait, I didn't promise anything, did I
