After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven
Chapter 580: Palace Examination Incident
This seemingly indifferent woman always gave him different feelings, just like a book that he could never get tired of reading. Lin Yutang's heart warmed up, and his eyes naturally became a little strange.
Yu Qingli turned to look at him and said quietly, "Yutang, it's natural to be happy about winning the top spot, but there are greater considerations to consider."
Lin Yutang nodded, "Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the emperor. The palace examination is the final hurdle."
"Yeah. You're relying on real skills, so I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried about someone being exposed and biting people randomly."
"Hmph." Lin Yutang snorted coldly, "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely not embarrass you."
Yu Qingli looked at Lin Yutang and wanted to correct his idea, but then she thought that today was a good day and decided not to pour cold water on him. Otherwise, if she poured too much cold water on him, he would be at a loss and too depressed.
"Okay, then let's not think about anything today and just eat, drink and have fun." Yu Qingli smiled and said, "I came here prepared."
While Yu Qingli was talking, Xiluo came over with the zither in her arms. "Mr. Lin, you're in for a treat tonight."
Lin Yutang glanced at Xiluo's meaningful smile, then looked at Yu Qingli, and his cheeks turned red.
That night was probably a night that Lin Yutang would never forget. Yu Qingli's pretty and elegant face, her superb piano skills, Xiluo's sword dance, Sha Qianli's heroic song, and everyone's laughter, Lin Yutang realized his feelings for the first time. He really liked this woman who seemed indifferent but was in control of everything.
He had no qualifications before, but now he is the top scholar and is just waiting for the palace examination to be over and he will be awarded a title. Can he express his feelings to her?
Lin Yutang was full of worries and fell drunkenly to the ground with a smile on his face.
The moonlight was beautiful and Yu Qingli was a little tipsy. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and simply sat behind Xiluo, letting the night breeze blow on her face, bringing a little coolness.
Xiluo rarely saw Yu Qingli laughing so wildly, and she was very happy. It was a pity that she secretly notified Murong Yanhui, but he didn't come.
Xiluo reached out and put a cloak on Yu Qingli, and said with a smile: "Miss, you'd better sit inside. The night breeze will make you drunk faster."
"It doesn't matter. It's rare to get drunk in life." Yu Qingli muttered, and then she started to laugh.
Xiluo couldn't help laughing. Suddenly, she felt a breeze behind her ears. She cautiously slapped her palm with her back, and with a "pa" sound, her palm collided with someone's. The person's body was like floating cotton, and he floated over the canopy and fell into the car.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look, look, who is this? He's so drunk." Murong Yan replied, pulling Yu Qingli's cloak with heartache.
"Huh? Why is it you?" Yu Qingli pointed at Murong Yanhui's nose drunkenly, her eyes full of autumn water, pure like stars, her cheeks flushed, and the scent of Ruolan brushed past her face, captivating her heart.
"Murong Yanhui, you are late. We have drunk all the good wine. Haha, you deserve it. Who told you to be late?" Yu Qingli put one hand on Murong Yanhui's neck and touched his nose with the other hand.
Murong Yanhui couldn't help but laugh, "What kind of wine is it? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. It's the sweet-scented osmanthus wine I made last year." Yu Qingli said, and then laughed foolishly, "Yu Tang won the first place in the imperial examination. Everyone is happy, and I am happy too."
Murong Yanhui's smile froze. Was she happy for someone else? How could she be so happy for a top scholar? Wait, Lin Yutang? When did Lili end up with him?
Murong Yan recalled and turned to look at Xiluo. Xiluo felt a chill on his neck and couldn't help but shrink to the side.
"I'll settle the score with you later!" Murong Yanhui whispered. When he lowered his head, Yu Qingli was already fast asleep in his arms. She was as small as a cat, curled up against his chest. His heart suddenly felt warm.
Murong Yanhui reached out and gently stroked Yu Qingli's hair, and the smile on the corner of his lips suddenly became bright. He gently lowered his head and placed a kiss on Yu Qingli's lips, which was so warm and soft that his heart almost melted.
"Master..." Xiluo turned around and saw this scene. He was so scared that he dared not say anything.
Murong Yanhui was caught by his subordinates and immediately became angry and ordered fiercely, "Why don't you hurry into the mansion?"
Xiluo said "Oh", but thought to herself, this male master has become more and more moody recently. Now he was caught secretly kissing the female master. It is likely that his endocrine system has been disturbed and he has entered menopause.
Xiluo complained inwardly while picking up Yu Qingli and preparing to go back home. However, Yu Qingli's hand was tightly holding Murong Yanhui's sleeve and refused to let go.
Murong Yanhui smiled again. He pulled Xiluo away, picked up Yu Qingli, jumped onto the wall, and arrived at Yu Qingli's yard as if he was familiar with the place.
"Are you satisfied now, little fool?" Murong Yan looked back at Yu Qingli who was sleeping soundly, and felt that he could breathe more freely.
Who knew that Yu Qingli, who was dreaming, suddenly murmured "Yutang", and Murong Yanhui's face suddenly changed again. He stood up, pulled back his sleeves, turned around and walked out.
He secretly made up his mind that in tomorrow's palace examination, he must go to see the style of Lin Yutang, and take the opportunity to add some style to him!
The next morning, Murong Yanhui got up early for the first time. When Changkong entered the house, he looked unhappy and his eyes were as dark as a panda's.
"What time is it?" Murong Yan asked back, her voice unusually hoarse.
Changkong was stunned. A closer look revealed that his master hadn't slept all night. Thinking about it, he realized that since he started monitoring the test paper sales, his master hadn't rested much. Could he... endure this?
"Master, it's still early. Today is the palace examination for the newly-minted scholars. There's nothing exciting to watch. Would you like to sleep a little longer?"
"No need to sleep! Let's go!" Murong Yan stood up, but her steps were rarely shaken.
They arrived at the front of the hall in silence. Murong Yanhui exuded a low aura, causing no one to dare to approach him, let alone talk to him. No one dared to act rashly even if it was just a glance.
Everyone knows that His Majesty's favor for the Prince of Yan has reached the point of lawlessness. Not to mention that he is right, even if he is wrong, His Majesty will defend him in every possible way. It is better for you to avoid this bad luck.
Just like that, Murong Yanhui entered the hall in a sly manner.
Murong Shiling was already seated on the dragon throne, with the ministers sitting down on either side. A short while later, the three newly crowned top scholars walked in side by side.
Murong Yan glanced back, his eyes darting like arrows. He knew two of them, so the only one he didn't know was Lin Yutang.
Perhaps feeling Murong Yanhui's gaze, Lin Yutang turned his head slightly and glanced at Murong Yanhui, but he did not understand the hostility in his eyes.
The King of Yan has always been a peaceful person, enjoying himself, eating, drinking and having fun. Why would he suddenly become so hostile to me?
Lin Yutang pondered this as he politely saluted Murong Shiling. Murong Shiling looked at the three handsome young men with great joy. After the usual round of praise, it was time for the palace examination. Actually, the so-called palace examination was just an interview for the emperor to see what the new champions looked like, to get to know each other, and then assign them positions based on his majesty's feelings. To put it bluntly, it was just a formality.
Therefore, after a while, Lin Yutang and others took their seats. Since he was the top scorer, he naturally sat in the first seat. On his right were Wang Cheng, the son of an official in the Ministry of Personnel, who was the second place scorer, and Wu Zefang, a distant relative of the Minister of Works, who was the third place scorer.
After a while of toasting, Murong Feng stood up to toast. He glanced at Lin Yutang, then turned back to Wang Cheng. "Young Master Wang, I heard that you wrote a brilliant parallel prose this time, discussing both the national system and the people's livelihood. I wonder what your views are on the suppression of bandits and the stability of people's livelihood?"
Wang Cheng was enjoying his drink when he heard this and was taken aback. He stood up and said, "Your Highness, we are so happy today. It would be inappropriate to discuss something as depressing as suppressing bandits. Besides, I, a humble student, would not dare to act rashly in front of all of you."
Murong Shiling seemed to be in high spirits. Hearing this, he said, "No problem. Tell me about it."
Wang Cheng's face changed and he murmured but couldn't say anything.
Murong Feng sneered, "Why, do you think we're not qualified enough to listen?"
"No, no, Your Highness, you are too kind." As Wang Cheng spoke, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He glanced towards the Ministry of Personnel. Wasn't it agreed that this was just a formality? Why would they have thought of such a thing?
Seeing this, everyone in the Ministry of Personnel pretended to be deaf and dumb, and no one wanted to step forward. Looking at Murong Shileng's mood today, he was probably going to be in trouble!
Who doesn't know that Wang Cheng's eating, drinking, and having fun are always several levels higher than Murong Yanhui's? Talking about people's livelihood? Don't be ridiculous.
As expected, Wang Cheng saw that he couldn't escape, so he held it in for a long time and said, "Grand Prince, then I'm sorry for being so rash."
Murong Feng smiled and nodded, only to hear Wang Cheng say, "This country is like a brothel, with all kinds of people in it. There are patrons who come to pay, and there are women who sell their bodies. Everyone gets what they need, and the same is true for the country. Bandits are robbers who don't want to pay but want to sleep with women. Robbery is not feasible. He will destroy the system and let women sleep with him for free without paying..."
Wang Cheng was speaking with great enthusiasm, and as he was getting into the groove, Murong Yanhui finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I say, my second-place winner, you speak so deeply and practically, are you well versed in this?"
"That is, the brothels and pleasure boats in the capital, and me..." Wang Cheng's words stopped abruptly. He looked at the people whose faces gradually changed, and suddenly his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground.
There was a brief silence in the hall, and Murong Shiling coldly ordered, "Tanhua, you go ahead and talk. Let's talk about the topic of the eldest prince."
Tanhua was already in a state of confusion, and when Murong Shiling called him out, his soul flew away. He rolled his eyes and fainted.
Murong Shiling snorted coldly and smashed the jade cup in his hand to the ground. Everyone in the hall knelt down on the ground. Everyone held their breath and no one dared to move, for fear that they would become the emperor's punching bag if they were not careful.
