Chapter 241
Now, the reward like flowing water was sent to Li Jieyu's palace, and the emperor favored her even more.
Calculate the days, I'm afraid that when I was just here, Concubine Lijie got pregnant with her child. She had not had a child in the harem for a long time. Now it means that the emperor's treasure sword is not old, so how can he be unhappy?
The imperial concubine was so angry that she smashed the teacup: "How could this bitch be so easy to get pregnant? It's not that the diagnosis was wrong!"
The nanny looked at the imperial concubine's face carefully: "So many imperial physicians were invited, I'm afraid that they would not be able to buy so many imperial physicians just by relying on one concubine..."
She said it tactfully, but she told the imperial concubine that this matter should be true.
Seeing the imperial concubine's eyes getting more and more gloomy, as if she wanted to swallow Concubine Li Jie alive, the nanny couldn't help but shivered.
Her eyes rolled, and then advised, "Empress, don't worry, you're pregnant, can you give birth? Is it a big deal? Which women in the palace are too scheming? When pregnant, they often get a fertility after three months and let them go out. This Concubine Lijie is good, but it's still short, but everyone knows it. According to my servants, Concubine Lijie is so unstoppable that she is not worthy of being the Concubine's opponent."
The imperial concubine sneered: "You are right. With her kindness, she is used to being domineering on weekdays, and now she has to be soaring to the sky. No one in the palace can see her well, but I'm afraid that this child will be gone without the action of this palace."
"Where do you need to dirty the Empress's hand for such a small character?" Seeing that the imperial concubine's mood improved, the nanny continued to work hard: "Strike back and say that there is only where it is, it's just born. If it's a little girl, it's useless. Who can tell whether she can grow up? The Empress has the sixth prince to rely on, so there is no need to worry about these things at all."
After hearing this, the imperial concubine finally calmed down.
Yes, although the nanny dared not say it, but what if Li Jieyu really gave birth to a prince? When the child grew up, her prince would have reached the high position long ago.
She looked a little arrogant again: "Madam, you are right, this palace was dazzled for a moment. She doesn't like to show off the emperor's goodness, so let's put the news out to see if she can bear it!"
"Yes, Empress." After the nanny saluted, she retreated directly.
The Sixth Prince Si Mingxuan may also understand this, so he didn't even ask a question.
He is such a younger brother, he can't raise him at worst.
Even if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will never be able to kill all his brothers. He always keeps a few to show his kindness. Such an ignorant child is just right in age.
The most important thing for Si Mingxuan now is to keep an eye on Qiuwei, and he cannot share time and energy to care about the jealousy of women in the harem.
Their people had already secretly tampered in the autumn examination, waiting for the time being to be exposed. Si Moli was good at martial arts wars, so they had to use the literati's words to criticize him, so that he could not tell how many words he could not tell.
Soon, the autumn examination ended.
Not long after, Gu Zhiheng brought good news and he was a Juren.
Although it is not enough to say that a small juren is in a location like Kyoto, if you keep going, Gu Zhiheng will definitely be considered young and promising, and has a bright future.
For ordinary people, most people spend their whole lives a long life and cannot even pass the three exams of the boy. Some people become scholars after passing the boy's exam, which is all Wang Yao's family matters.
Gu Zhiheng was born into a poor family and became a juren in his twenties. He has surpassed countless peers in the country.
Becoming a Juren also means that he can get a monthly salary and the court still has rewards, but he did not rush to join the officialdom, but tried his best to prepare for next year's spring exam. If the spring exam passes and becomes a tribute scholar, he can also participate in the palace examination and face the emperor directly.
Soon he raised the money, so he went to the royal palace to pay homage to Si Moli again and returned the money to him.
"How is your mother's health now?" Si Moli did not rush to accept it, but asked about his family.
Gu Zhiheng was humble and polite. Now he regarded King Li as his benefactor, so he naturally answered questions and questions: "My mother's illness has been cured. In addition, when I learned about my success, I was happy, and I was very excited when I saw the happy events. Thank you for your concern."
Si Moli nodded, but only accepted half of the money: "Although your mother has recovered from illness, she always needs to eat more nourishing things to nourish her body. You have just passed the imperial examination and probably won't have fewer social engagements. Leave some money to buy decent clothes, which will be good for you to make connections."
Gu Zhiheng is not a pedantic person. When he heard Si Moli’s suggestions, he was grateful: “Thank you for your understanding, I will pay back the remaining money as soon as possible.”
Si Moli didn't say anything more. Before Gu Zhiheng left, he sent the butler to get some nourishing medicinal herbs. Gu Zhiheng silently remembered all this in his heart, and secretly vowed to prepare for the Spring Examination and repay the prince in the future.
Gu Zhiheng was appreciated by the Taifu, which shows that he had outstanding talent and knowledge. Now that he has passed the imperial examination, Shen Qingyun is not surprised. After receiving the money he received from the royal palace, she also conveyed the news to Ji Qianxue. The two made an appointment in Tingfeng Pavilion again.
Speaking of Gu Zhiheng, Ji Qianxue's face couldn't help but have a faint pink. She refused: "Actually, the prince doesn't need to give me these silver."
Shen Qingyun smiled and said, "It's your money, so if you want to pay it back, it's going to be returned to you."
After a pause, she asked, "Qianxue, don't you plan to let him know that you are his benefactor?"
Ji Qianxue paused, and the shyness in her eyes was replaced by bitterness: "Qingyun, although I haven't known you for a long time, I can trust you. I might as well say that unless he can win the top three in the palace examination, he doesn't have to know about this."
The top three are Tanhua, the second place and the top scorer.
In fact, as far as Ji Qianxue is concerned, it is conservative to the top three in advance. Unless Gu Zhiheng’s top scorer in high school, he can only sigh that it is because he is not destined to be enough. Then, it is good for both of them not to point out this matter, especially for Ji Qianxue.
Shen Qingyun changed the subject and did not talk about this matter again.
They still played for several games like next time, and then they reluctantly prepared to return home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I left Tingfeng Pavilion, I heard the noise outside.
In the teahouse diagonally opposite, a group of candidates discussed in anger: "The question is leaked, this must be leaked!"
The people who passed the exam were naturally much calmer. Those who failed the exam seemed to see hope again at this moment, and they were all loudly: Exploiting questions in the autumn examination is not a trivial matter, and this matter must be reported to the official! Check the matter clearly and give us all the candidates a fairness!"
"Yes! Report to the official!"
