Crazy and bad again, the princess is the best in Beijing

Chapter 103 The engagement is finally broken off!

Emperor Qianyuan glanced at the Lu family father and son with disgust and said, "Lu Mingyuan, although a Hanlin Academy scholar, failed to educate his son and has a low character. He is hereby dismissed from his position as Hanlin Academy scholar and given ten strokes of the cane. He will be punished by the Marquis."

Lu Mingyuan wanted to say something but didn't dare. He fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your command."

Emperor Qianyuan continued, "Lu Xingzhi plagiarized Prince Chong's strategy paper. This is a very bad thing."

"All of Lu Xingzhi's honors are hereby revoked. He is forbidden from taking any imperial examinations in the future and will never be employed again!"

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he felt dizzy.

Emperor Qianyuan's words completely cut off his official career path, and he no longer had any future at all!

He felt somewhat relieved that he and Shi Wanwan were still engaged.

In the future, as long as he can make her obey him, he still has a chance given how favored she is now.

But what he didn't expect was that Emperor Qianyuan would say the next moment: "Lu Xingzhi has evil intentions and deceived the princess. The previous arranged marriage is cancelled."

"From now on, men and women getting married will have nothing to do with each other."

"Lu Xingzhi's actions go against the teachings of the sages and he is unworthy of being a scholar. He shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane as an example to others!"

Lu Xingzhi: “!!!!”

He said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have never deceived the princess!"

Emperor Qianyuan said coldly, "You still dare to deny it? You will be imprisoned for another month!"

He actually wanted to add more boards, but he was afraid that if he added more boards, he would beat the man to death.

Although he felt that Lu Xingzhi deserved to be beaten to death, he still had to keep these people from the Lu Mansion to atone for the sins of King Chong. It would be too easy for them to just beat him to death!

After hearing this, Lu Xingzhi didn't dare to say anything more.

The imperial power is supreme, and the Lu family is powerless to resist.

Several eunuchs came in, and the father and son from the Lu family were covered in the mouths and dragged into the Ministry of Punishment for execution.

The father and son of the Lu family usually consider themselves noble, but when they were beaten on the torture bench, they were just as miserable and no longer had any dignity as scholars.

When Shi Wanwan heard that Emperor Qianyuan had withdrawn his decree for her marriage to Lu Xingzhi, she woke up.

The imperial physician was about to give her an acupuncture when he was stunned when he saw her open her eyes.

She hurriedly said, "The imperial physician's medical skills are really good. I woke up after just one injection."

What a joke! She really doesn't want to be pricked with a needle.

Imperial physician: "..."

Did he give her an injection?

He remembered that he hadn't gotten the injection yet!

But he was also a shrewd man, so he took the needle back and said, "It's good that the princess wakes up."

As soon as Shi Wanwan woke up, someone went to inform Emperor Qianyuan.

Emperor Qianyuan came over and asked, "Are you really dizzy today or is it fake?"

Shi Wanwan answered irrelevantly: "My only relative has always been my uncle."

"So my uncle is the only one who loves me and would arrange a marriage for me just because I made such a big fuss."

"They will also cancel my engagement because they find out that I have poor taste and I love the wrong person."

"Wanwan will definitely study hard in the future, help her uncle solve his problems, and be filial to him."

Emperor Qianyuan was stunned when he heard this.

The most ruthless are the imperial families. There is only power and calculation in their family, and family affection is especially weak.

His father disliked him, his concubines each had their own agenda, and his children were afraid of him.

Emperor Qianyuan had only felt family affection from Princess Changping, but the trust and admiration revealed in Shi Wanwan's words softened his heart.

He still felt a little guilty because he had not really wanted to cancel her engagement with Lu Xingzhi before. This time it was just a side job to clean up the Lu family.

He reached out and rubbed her head and said, "Remember what you said today, and don't cause trouble for me in the future."

Shi Wanwan tugged at his sleeve, looked at him innocently with her big eyes, and said, "Wanwan is the best and will never cause trouble for your uncle."

Emperor Qianyuan chuckled when he heard this and rubbed her head again: "You only know how to make me happy."

Don't think he doesn't know that she took the golden medal of immunity from death he gave her to Shi's house to cause trouble, and even used the gold medal as a weapon to beat people.

He thought that after she made such a fuss, Shi Meichen would come to him to complain, but he waited for two days and Shi Meichen didn't come.

He felt quite regretful.

If Shi Meichen came, he could help Shi Wanwan deal with Shi Meichen again.

Since Schmeichen is not here now, he will pretend not to know about it.

He looked at the well-behaved and obedient little girl in front of him with soft eyes, and couldn't help but think of the late Princess Changping.

His heart softened a little, and he felt that she was still a bit more realistic. Since she had gone to Shi's house to make trouble, she should use her gold medal to beat Shi Meichen.

After all, she had used her gold medal to beat him, so no matter how angry Shi Meichen was, he had to endure it.

Yu Song, who was following behind him, breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Emperor Qianyuan was actually in a bad mood today.

It was Shi Wanwan who had a way to please Emperor Qianyuan.

Yu Song chimed in, "I will also remember the princess's words for Your Majesty. If she breaks her promise in the future, I will remind Your Majesty and punish her."

Emperor Qianyuan nodded and said, "That's good! I think filial piety cannot be just a matter of words."

"Didn't Wanwan do very well on the Imperial College entrance exam and even get into the imperial examination class?"

"There was a rule before that the children of nobles in the capital who could enter the Imperial College could be exempted from the Xiucai examination and directly take the provincial examination to become a Juren."

"Take the exam this autumn and show me if you pass."

Yu Song smiled and said, "The princess is very talented. If she could win the first place in the imperial examination, it would make His Majesty happy."

Emperor Qianyuan laughed heartily: "It would be best if she could get the first place in the exam, but she hasn't been to school for many years, so this is a bit difficult."

"How about this, as long as Wanwan can pass the imperial examination, I will hold another special examination next spring and let her pass the exam to become a Jinshi, which will bring me honor."

Shi Wanwan: “…”

Shi Wanwan: “!!!!!!”

What is a bolt from the blue? This is a bolt from the blue!

She had only been studying in the Imperial Academy for three days when her uncle wanted her to pass the imperial examination first and then become a Jinshi.

If she succeeds, how will those candidates who have studied hard for more than ten years feel?

She said anxiously, "Uncle, Wanwan feels that showing filial piety doesn't necessarily require test scores."

"After all, everyone's situation is different. Some people are born to study and can do well in any exam."

"Some people are not good at studying, and even if they study from morning till night every day, they may not be able to do well in the exam."

"Wanwan believes that filial piety should be demonstrated through the little things in life, rather than just focusing on academic performance."

Emperor Qianyuan looked at her and said, "True filial piety means that the younger generation should do their best to fulfill whatever the elders ask for."

"Instead of the younger generation giving something to the elders, the elders should happily accept it."

"For elders, there is no better way to show filial piety than to help the younger generation succeed."

"It's settled. Once you enter the Imperial College, study hard and don't let me down."

He was busy with state affairs and had no time to chat with her, so he turned around and left.

Shi Wanwan made a final struggle: "Uncle, wait a moment!"

Emperor Qianyuan stopped and turned to look at her. She asked, "What if Wanwan fails the imperial examination?"
