Crazy and bad again, the princess is the best in Beijing
Chapter 39: Let Her Study in the Imperial College
Scholar Lu said unhappily, "The marriage between Xingzhi and Shi Wanwan was personally granted by His Majesty. You can't just refuse the marriage if you want to."
"If you hadn't asked Xingzhi to go to Shi Wanwan to ask for His Majesty's reward today, how could he have suffered such an insult?"
Madam Lu snorted, "She's Xingzhi's fiancée, so her things belong to us, don't they?"
"I just brought it a little earlier, what's the problem?"
Mr. Lu knew that Mrs. Lu was short-sighted and that it would be redundant to say anything now.
Madam Lu added, "We can't just let this go. We have to teach Shi Wanwan a lesson!"
Scholar Lu said solemnly, "The results of the imperial examination should be out soon. We shouldn't cause any more trouble."
"But you're right, we can't just let this go."
"Whether Shi Wanwan is truly crazy or just pretending to be, His Majesty must be informed of this matter."
So the next morning, Master Lu entered the palace.
This time, when Emperor Qianyuan met him, he knelt down on the ground as soon as he saw Emperor Qianyuan and said, "Yesterday, my son went to see the princess."
"I didn't expect the princess to start by hurling foul language and then pouring filthy things into my son's mouth."
"My son was so shocked that he developed a high fever that night. He is now in critical condition. Your Majesty, please help him!"
Emperor Qianyuan originally wanted to eat the bird's nest that the queen had sent him before, but when he heard this and looked at the bird's nest again, he instantly lost his appetite.
He recalled Shi Wanwan's pale face and desperate eyes when he saw her a few days ago. Lu Xingzhi was responsible for her becoming like this.
She is sick now, and it is normal for her to have a relapse if Lu Xingzhi provokes her again.
He said coldly, "I know what Mr. Lu said."
"Before I make the decision for Lu Xingzhi, shouldn't Lu Qing return all the things he coaxed from Wanwan?"
When Mr. Lu heard this, his face changed drastically. It turned out that Emperor Qianyuan knew all these things!
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Emperor Qianyuan looked at him, his majesty evident: "Wanwan and Lu Xingzhi's marriage is granted by me."
"If the Lu family is dissatisfied with this marriage, they can express their dissatisfaction and I can withdraw my order."
"But the Lu family has humiliated my niece and caused her to become ill. I will not tolerate this!"
Scholar Lu fell to the ground and said, "I dare not!"
Emperor Qianyuan asked, "Minister Lu, do you still want me to make a decision for your son?"
Scholar Lu shuddered for a moment and then said, "I have no idea what my son did before."
"I will investigate this matter when I return. If it is true that my son did something inappropriate in front of the princess, I will discipline him severely!"
At this point, he no longer dared to ask Emperor Qianyuan to make a decision for Lu Xingzhi. He said a few polite words and ran away in disgrace.
After Scholar Lu left, Emperor Qianyuan said to the head steward, Tai Lin Yusong, "Go to the Princess's residence in person and find out what happened yesterday."
Yu Song responded, and just as he was about to leave, Emperor Qianyuan said again: "No matter what the princess did, don't show your emotions in front of her, don't scare her."
When Yu Song heard this, he knew that Emperor Qianyuan was really concerned about Shi Wanwan, so he bowed and withdrew.
As soon as he left, Xie Xuanzhi followed Lin Xingzhou, the president of the Hanlin Academy, in with a stack of examination papers.
As of today, the initial grading results of this examination have come out.
This time, the examiners were drawn from various departments, and Mr. Lu was also qualified to examine the papers.
It was just because Lu Xingzhi was taking part in the imperial examination this year, so in order to avoid suspicion, he did not participate in the marking of the papers.
The reason why Lin Xingzhou brought Xie Xuanzhi here was because he was the one who had stayed in Beijing the shortest time among the people in the Hanlin Academy, had the least involvement with the people in Beijing, and had the highest status.
Although he did not participate in marking the papers this time, he participated in the invigilation.
Lin Xingzhou brought him here to deliver the test papers. He felt very safe. With him around, no one dared to come and test him.
Lin Xingzhou presented the test paper to Emperor Qianyuan and said, "The overall strength of this year's candidates is good, but there are not many who are particularly outstanding."
"These are the twenty best examination papers I have selected. Your Majesty, please review them."
The test papers of these people are still unclear, but their rankings have been preliminarily determined.
If Emperor Qianyuan has no problem with the results after reading them, he will post the results according to the ranking.
Emperor Qianyuan nodded slightly, and the eunuch on duty handed the test paper to Emperor Qianyuan's dragon desk.
Lin Xingzhou introduced: "These candidates each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are all excellent. It is difficult to decide the top three."
Emperor Qianyuan needed time to finish reading the test papers, so he asked Lin Xingzhou to leave, but let Xie Xuanzhi stay.
Emperor Qianyuan did not ask about government affairs, but asked something else: "How are you feeling recently?"
Xie Xuanzhi replied: "It's okay, I shouldn't die for the time being."
Emperor Qianyuan glared at him and asked, "Can you say something a little more auspicious?"
Xie Xuanzhi laughed. Emperor Qianyuan pressed his brow. Xie Xuanzhi then said, "Your Majesty, it seems you've been having headaches quite often lately?"
Emperor Qianyuan did not deny this, but sighed and said, "Things at court are all fine, but my headache is Wanwan."
"No one has taken care of this girl since Changping left. As her uncle, I have been quite negligent in my duties."
"She's sick right now and can't stand any stimulation, but if we leave her like this, I'm afraid she'll just get worse and worse."
"A hundred years from now, I'm afraid I won't be able to give Changping an explanation."
Xie Xuanzhi thought about the few times he had met Shi Wanwan. Her eyes were clear and dark, and given her mentality, he was afraid that nothing could irritate her.
Her wild horse-like temper really needs to be controlled, otherwise she might go crazy.
He thought maybe he should give her a surprise.
So he said to Emperor Qianyuan: "Your Majesty wants to find someone to teach the princess, and I have a suggestion."
Emperor Qianyuan immediately said, "Tell me about it."
Xie Xuanzhi smiled and said, "I heard that the princess was quite intelligent when she was young, and even achieved a good ranking in the Imperial College."
"But after the eldest princess passed away, she dropped out of the Imperial College and immersed herself in the sorrow of the eldest princess's death."
"I think it would be better to let the princess return to the Imperial College to study."
"The Imperial College is full of young students, full of vitality. I think they can provide positive guidance for the princess."
"Secondly, the Imperial College is filled with great scholars who are the best at teaching and educating people. With them around, they should be able to help the princess correct some of her misconceptions."
"In such an environment, I think it will not only help the princess's condition, but also give her a chance to become a useful person."
Emperor Qianyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect Shi Wanwan to become anything useful, but she couldn't become a waste either.
At the moment, Shi Meichen obviously cannot tolerate Shi Wanwan, and the Lu family cannot tolerate her either, and as her uncle, he cannot interfere too much in some matters.
The point is that he can't control her for the rest of her life. She has to stand on her own feet first and have the ability to protect herself.
He thought about it carefully and found that letting her return to the Imperial College to study was the best option.
He immediately slammed the dragon case and said, "It's settled!"
Xie Xuanzhi's lips curled up slightly, and he was looking forward to Shi Wanwan's reaction after she knew about this. She would probably be very touched...
