"My dear concubine, after brother Yu's college exam is over, let him try the provincial exam!" Emperor Jinghe asked his mother to fool him, but instead of being comforted, he promised not to get angry with those three little things!
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, so Emperor Jinghe simply went to find Concubine An.
If he can't deal with it openly, why not use some means secretly?
To him, these three little scoundrels are just too idle!
Although he didn't understand why four consecutive government examinations didn't make them tired.
But it doesn't matter, they can be busier.
Concubine An was holding the chess pieces and thinking about the layout. When she heard the emperor's words, she couldn't help but look over in surprise: "Your Majesty, why did you say this?"
Emperor Jinghe could act coquettishly to his mother, but he didn't want to lose his grace in front of his beloved concubine. He covered the corners of his mouth with the hand holding the chess piece and smiled sarcastically: "I don't want to see Brother Yu make great achievements and rush all the way to the palace examination."
"Your Majesty really trusts him!" Concubine An mentioned this nephew, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile, "I first encouraged him to follow Sister Yuan and Brother Sheng for reference. It was not for anything else, I just didn't want to Let him grow up to be a dandy. I don’t expect him to be able to relieve His Majesty’s worries. At least he won’t hold you back, and I can’t let him become the reason for you to be harassed by the officials.”
"How hard it is to love your concubine!" Emperor Jinghe coaxed along with Concubine An's words.
Concubine An shook her head: "That kid can be considered promising. When the county and government examinations came, I saw that I could win the title of scholar. I was already very satisfied. If he wanted to stop here and not take the exam anymore, I would I won’t force him either.”
"That can't be done!" Emperor Jinghe waved his hands as he thought about what Brother Yu would do if he started to idle away.
Concubine An thought that the emperor's mention of letting Brother Yu take part in the provincial examination was just a casual mention, but seeing his reaction now...she knew that what he just said was not without purpose.
Suddenly, anger appeared on her pretty face: "Your Majesty, is that boy Brother Yu making trouble again?"
Emperor Jinghe saw her clenching the chess pieces, and he couldn't help but pause as he wanted to nod.
Although he had good intentions when he came here, if Concubine An wanted to beat Brother Yu in the future, he would add insult to injury and pass the stick to her.
But when he saw Concubine An's reaction in person, he hesitated.
Otherwise, let's change it to... Concubine An beats someone, but he hides.
"Your Majesty, please tell me, does that kid deserve a beating?" Concubine An put down the chess piece, "Very good, the stick that I have prepared for a long time can finally be used! Your Majesty can't help him this time. .”
Emperor Jinghe saw that Concubine An seemed a little excited, and immediately forgot to take the opportunity to put eye drops on Brother Yu, and said hurriedly: "No! No! Brother Yu is so filial! He didn't forget to donate to us when he caught the fish, even thank you The imperial concubines have them all! What a good boy, it’s hard to beat him.”
After saying this, he almost covered his chest. It felt so uncomfortable to stab himself!
"Is that so?" Concubine An looked at the emperor hesitantly.
Emperor Jinghe nodded slowly and smiled: "That's it! Brother Yu is a good boy."
He almost squeezed out the last sentence through gritted teeth.
"Hmph! Your Majesty said this. I have nothing to say. However, it is true that Brother Yu is a good boy, but it really doesn't make people worry!" Concubine An sighed regretfully and lazily picked up the food she had just put down. The chess pieces are conveniently placed on the chessboard to relieve one's own chess pieces.
Emperor Jinghe didn't expect that Concubine An's cheating would come naturally, and he almost lost his temper.
The aunt and nephew are equally good at bullying!
He wanted to protest, but he heard Concubine An sigh in a measured tone: "Your Majesty, you don't even know what that kid said before lunch!"
"Oh?" Emperor Jinghe pricked up his ears and stared at the chessboard closely, not giving Concubine An a chance to change the situation on the chessboard.
Concubine An snorted: "After that boy came to greet me, he actually asked me in front of me if I had offended Princess Yongping! What do you think he thought! Not to mention that I belong to Princess Yongping. Elders, how can you be serious with children?
What's more, after I married into the palace, I rarely saw outsiders. That is to say, when you ascended the throne, I was in charge of the royal banquet. I have only met Princess Yongping a few times, but have never had a conversation.
You know that it is not a matter of concubines. When Princess Yongping enters the palace, she always only pays homage to you and the Queen Mother. At most, she pays a courtesy outside the Anyuan Palace. Sister Xie and I have never set foot in the two palaces. You said , how can I offend her? "
Emperor Jinghe heard the words, pondered and then smiled: "Yongping has such a temper, and Sister Hong'an can't do anything about her. The Queen Mother and I don't want to care about the small flaws in etiquette and rules, but you and Concubine Xie have many Be tolerant.”
"I didn't care about it with Sister Xie at first." Concubine An looked at Jing and Di Fei, "It's not Brother Yu who caused the trouble this time. Do you think I and Sister Xie will mention this to you?"
Emperor Jinghe didn't want to distinguish the attitudes of the two concubines, so he just smiled and asked, "Yes, Brother Yu is such a good person, why do you ask this?"
Concubine An smiled half-smilingly and recounted the analysis of the three people on Anyu by the river bridge, and finally asked Emperor Jinghe: "Do you think this kid is stupid? Oh, Brother Sheng and Sister Yuan have never provoked her. , he provoked her? He couldn’t find a reason, so he thought of his own aunt? Who have you ever seen rushing to find a rival for him? "
"..." Emperor Jinghe felt that he didn't blame Brother Yu. From the elimination method, Sister Yuan's thinking cannot be said to be wrong.
"You are still protecting me!" Concubine An rubbed her head, "Why doesn't he think about it? Sometimes when he offends someone, he may not necessarily know each other!"
She picked up the tea cup and said casually: "I am not protecting the calf. I want to tell you, compared to Brother Yu, Sister Yuan is more attractive to Princess Yongping!"
Emperor Jinghe was puzzled when he heard this: "No, Sister Yuan may be naughty, but she hasn't seen Yongping a few times."
"Your Majesty, I once went to Cining Palace to pay my respects. I found that the people in Cining Palace were busy and happy. When I asked, I found out that it was the day when Sister Yuan was entering the palace... When I came out to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, I happened to meet Jin. The concubines and concubines who are paying their respects to Princess Yongping are watching from a distance, and everyone from Aunt Qi to the little maid is extremely polite."
After Concubine An said this, she looked at Emperor Jinghe and asked, "I dare to ask you, tell me, in front of the Queen Mother, who is more important, Princess Yongping, or Sister Yuan?"
Emperor Jinghe was just about to say that Princess Yongping was his grandson, but the next second he was talking about himself and others, his words were a bit unclear.
With this question in mind, Emperor Jinghe returned to his Qingyuan Palace.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid your Majesty is not here for the fish in the moat." A confidant's maid whispered in Concubine An's ear.
Concubine An rolled her eyes: "The emperor pampered you yourself, so you can live with it!"
As long as she disciplines brother Yu, the emperor will be considered a good person!
This time it's fine, and let the emperor taste what it means to have trouble speaking.
