Seeing Li Yu'an lying drunkenly on the dragon bed, Liang Chongyue naturally looked away and instructed Cheng Zhao:

"Wait until the Queen sobers up before bringing him back. Have the small kitchen in Kunning Palace prepare some food tonight so he won't be hungry when he wakes up in the middle of the night."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue turned and left the inner hall. She had no passion for a drunkard.

After Yun Ling put down the sobering tea, she also led her people out of the inner hall so that Her Highness the Queen could have a good rest.

Cheng Zhao was holding the sobering tea and was worrying about how to get the Queen to drink it when the person lying on the bed slowly woke up and glanced around the empty inner hall. He didn't see the person he wanted to see, and his eyes were full of loneliness.

Cheng Zhao couldn't tell what the Queen was thinking at the moment. Seeing that she had woken up, he hurriedly brought the sobering tea to the Queen.

"Your Highness, please drink this sobering tea quickly and have a good sleep. You won't have a headache when you wake up."

Li Yu'an raised his hand to take it and drank it all in one gulp. The unpleasant taste of the tea lingered in his mouth for a long time, and it made him sober up a little.

Normally, he would have lifted the quilt and left the Yangxin Palace at this time, but after being drunk, he always craves her scent even more. Even if he just wants to stay in this bed for a while longer, he doesn't care about the rules and etiquette of the palace.

Liang Chongyue was sitting in the outer hall. When he heard the noise coming from inside, he pretended not to hear it.

Li Yu'an is very good at regulating her emotions, so she doesn't need to worry about these things.

Liang Chongyue kept playing with the jade twist in her hand, which was a habit she often had when she was distracted or had something in mind.

Yun Ling replaced the tea beside His Majesty with hangover tea. Liang Chongyue smelled it and stopped Yun Ling before she left.

"Take it away, I don't need it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ling had no choice but to take the sobering tea away and serve His Majesty a new pot of good tea.

There was nothing going on in the court recently. Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne for an hour, but there was still no news from the system. Calculating the time, Ping An might have just arrived at the royal villa at this time.

Investigations also take time. The longer Liang Chongyue waited, the colder his eyes became, even colder than the night outside.

"Your Majesty, I drank a few more cups today and embarrassed you."

Li Yu'an's voice broke the tranquility in the Yangxin Palace. Liang Chongyue glanced sideways and saw that Li Yu'an's collar was slightly open, probably because he was not restful when he was sleeping.

"Don't worry, Yu'an. The Luming Banquet is supposed to be about drinking and chatting. Yu'an did a great job."

Liang Chongyue has always been objective and never personal. Li Yu'an is innocent, so she will not bring bad emotions between them. Otherwise, given the degree of internal friction within Li Yu'an, it may become even more troublesome.

Seeing that Li Yu'an had just woken up and his reaction was still a little slow, Liang Chongyue looked up at the sky outside. It was already getting dark and it was time for dinner.

"Yunling, serve the meal."

Li Yu'an smiled clearly when he saw that His Majesty did not ask him to leave on the grounds that he was too drunk to serve the emperor.

"Then I will go bathe and change clothes first, and then I will accompany Your Majesty for dinner."

Liang Chongyue smiled and nodded at him. After he left, she leaned back on the dragon throne and took out a booklet from the pile beside her that was filled with the names of the successful candidates in this year's imperial examination. The Lu Ming Banquet was over, and the next banquet would be organized by the Ministry of Rites itself. She and Li Yu'an no longer had to attend.

But after the Lu Ming Banquet, the appointments of the successful Jinshi candidates should be finalized. This should have been handled by the Ministry of Rites, and the list would then be sent to the emperor. However, there were a few people that Liang Chongyue wanted to pay special attention to.

There are only five girls in high school this year. Li Wen is good at guessing the emperor's intentions, and he will definitely give some preferential treatment to those five people. But Bai Fu is a simple-minded person. If she goes to too good a place, she may not be able to play with those nine-turn exquisite hearts. It is better to send her far away and polish her from the grassroots level. Who knows, after ten years, when she climbs up step by step and returns to the capital, she may become a different person.

Thinking of this, Liang Chongyue wrote a few words on the list quickly, as if he had thought of it long ago.

As for those high school boys, it depends on whether Li Yu'an pays special attention to them today and whether he thinks they are good.

However, overall, the results should not be much different from those in the palace examination.

After writing these things, Liang Chongyue put the book away and waited for a while. Li Yu'an came back from the bathroom. He was still wearing a moon-white gown, but the ends of his hair were still dripping with water. He looked like a white lotus that had just bloomed from the water, clear and beautiful.

"His Majesty."

His voice was still hoarse from being drunk, but his eyes were clear and gentle, and he had returned to the look that Liang Chongyue was most familiar with and loved the most.

"Don't even dry your hair. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Liang Chongyue took the long towel from Yun Ling's hand and wiped the water stains on Li Yu'an's hair. When his hair was half dry, dinner was already prepared.

"Host, we have found the news from Sifangtai."

The system's voice sounded at this time. Liang Chongyue responded and asked it to send the information to the panel. She would have dinner with Li Yu'an first, and then she would take a good look at how Fei He managed Sifangtai. What did these little brats want to do behind her back?

A gleam of light flashed in Liang Chongyue's lowered eyes. It had been a long time since she met such a fearless person. It just so happened that she had some free time at this time, so she couldn't be blamed for being too cruel.

The divine sword hadn't seen blood for a long time, and it was crying out for hunger in the backpack every day.

The dinner was pleasant. After Li Yu'an sobered up, Liang Chongyue asked him about some interesting things that happened after she left the Lu Ming Banquet, hoping to hear from Li Yu'an about a few people he remembered.

As a result, the name I heard most often was Chai Shuo. It seems that this person is indeed different from others.

"It's rare to see someone Yu'an values ​​so much. He's the top scholar, so there's no doubt he'll be admitted to the Imperial Academy in the future. What about the others? Does Yu'an think they're any good?"

Li Yu'an couldn't guess for a moment whether His Majesty asked this because he really wanted to know who else he thought was good at the Lu Ming Banquet, or whether he was testing whether he was intentionally cultivating a candidate he valued.

Li Yu'an thought for a moment. His Majesty had sworn in the ancestral temple that he would only have Minglang as his child in this life, and he would never break his oath. Minglang was also his child. His Majesty's behavior was not a test, but he really wanted to know who else was outstanding at the Lu Ming Banquet.

Thinking of this, Li Yu'an no longer hid anything and told His Majesty most of what happened at the Lu Ming Banquet.

Some of them are knowledgeable and have a long-term vision; some of them are meticulous and are careful in what they say and do; and some of them inevitably get carried away after getting high school, and drank a few more glasses at the Luming Banquet and lost their composure.

Li Yu'an told His Majesty everything he could remember about all the people and events. There were seventy-eight people in total, and he remembered most of them. The rest had never appeared in front of him, so he didn't know them.

After listening to this, Liang Chongyue understood what was going on. Li Yu'an could see these things, and Li Wen must have been paying attention to them as well. He estimated that the appointment memorial would be submitted to the emperor in a few days.
