Chapter 457 Rejection

Chapter 457 Rejection
After an embarrassing silence, Yikang slowly stood outside the door.

"... Princess?" Zeng Jiuyan and Bai Yi were stunned at the same time - they suddenly realized that Yikang might have heard every word they just said.

Zeng Jiuyan was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but scratched his neck twice, and said stammeringly, "How long has the little princess been standing there...how long?"

Yikang sneered, "Master Xiaohou is so daring to say, is he still afraid of being heard? What should be heard, what should not be heard, the princess has heard it all!"

Zeng Jiuyan laughed stiffly.

"I did not mean that……"

"I'll settle your account with you later." Yikang glared at him, and then looked at Bai Yi, "Doctor Bai is really a gentleman, but are you too self-indulgent?"

Bai Yi's throat moved, he looked at Yikang whose eyes were slightly red, and looked back with a little guilt, and lowered his eyes to look at the floor.

"...We took the liberty." Bai Yi said, "Jiuyan and I said these bastard things today, I hope the princess... the princess don't take it to heart—"

"Enough!" Yikang frowned, and interrupted loudly, "Who do you think this princess is? Is it a commodity placed on a shelf for you to pick and choose? This is Pingjing City... this is Pingjing City , No one dares to say such a thing to me!"

Bai Yi frowned, blinked his eyes, and said after a long time, "...I never thought about it that way, I never regarded the princess as a commodity on the shelf."

"Then what does 'they are greedy for them, why don't I eat minced meat anyway'?" Yikang immediately retorted, "You answer me now!"

Bai Yi opened his mouth slightly, just about to explain, but then fell silent again.

"...It's my inappropriate words, it's my fault." Bai Yi looked serious, "I will never say this kind of thing again from now on, regardless of whether it is before or after."

The whole Xichaifang fell silent.

The apprentices turned their eyes to the door of the reception room.

Yikang did not expect Bai Yi to react like this.

She originally wanted to just have a big fight with Bai Yi, and then walk away, but she didn't think that the other party would admit his mistake directly.

Yikang wanted to continue to get angry, but seeing Bai Yi's expression, she suddenly felt aggrieved and exhausted - what's the fun in hitting a sandbag, but this big sandbag is still her favorite one.

"I...don't forgive!"

Yikang's voice was slightly crying, and she herself felt that something was wrong - she didn't come here to pretend to be pitiful, so she immediately pulled out the saber at her waist, facing the wooden door that said "Bo Yi" The two-character frame card was chopped off forcefully.

With a crisp sound, the nameplate that Bai Yi hung on the reception room was cut in half and fell to the ground at the same time.

Yi Kang took a deep breath.

"...don't think too much about it." The princess said coldly, she looked directly into Bai Yi's eyes, "I will go to the emperor to return this inexplicable marriage. But if I hear it again These gossips, your fate is like this card!"

"Yes." Bai Yi nodded, and bowed to Yikang, "Bo Yi made a note."

Yikang didn't say anything more, turned around and left here with big strides.

Both Zeng Jiuyan and Bai Yi in the room stood in place, unable to react for a while.

"...Do you want to go after him?" Zeng Jiuyan looked at Bai Yi.

"No more." Bai Yi said softly, "I've already said what should be said... What's the use of catching up?"

At this moment, Zeng Jiuyan fell down on the chair and sighed softly.

"My mouth really..."

……

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the afternoon, Chen Yicong, who had come back from Xuanqing Guan, had already changed his clothes, and was sitting in front of the case to review the memorial.

Lu Dou ran in briskly, "Your Majesty, Princess Yikang asked to see her early in the morning, and now she is still waiting at the left door."

Chen Yicong asked without raising his head, "What is she doing here?"

"The slaves don't know either, and the princess refuses to say anything, saying that she can speak only if she sees His Majesty in person."

"It's just for marriage." Chen Yicong replied, "No, I don't have time."

Lu Dou responded in a low voice, and before he was about to back down, Chen Yicong threw a memorial book on the ground, and Lu Dou shuddered unexpectedly.

"You take this memorial to the cabinet and tell Wen Shichun to come into the palace to see me right now!" Chen Yicong's face darkened completely, "What did he write!"

"...Yes." Lu Dou quickly leaned over and picked up the booklet of the Ministry of Rites, and slowly stepped back facing Chen Yicong.

Before exiting the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lu Dou raised his head again and carefully glanced at the emperor at the end.

Chen Yicong has already read the new memorial.

At present, all matters involving the northern border and the special imperial examinations, even after the approval of the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies, the emperor still has to go through the list.

Unlike Emperor Jianxi, Chen Yicong rarely left ambiguous opinions on these major family and country matters, and all his replies were clearly written in the blank space of the memorial.

Sometimes there is not enough space to write, so he attaches additional paper.

At first, the courtiers were really relieved—after all, it seemed that they no longer had to play riddles like they used to. However, during this period of time, everyone has gradually realized the pressure behind this style.

The emperor already understood the words, no one can pretend not to understand, and it is even more difficult to pinch a target from the cabinet in this environment.

If you want to be tough, you can only do it head-on.

Lu Dou looked at the stern-looking Emperor Shengming, and he felt goosebumps all over again.

……

This afternoon, first Wen Shichun entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then several servants from the Ministry of Rites were summoned... Finally, Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong were alarmed—the first and second assistants had to come forward in person to find people in the palace .

The arrogance shown by the Ministry of Rites in the matter of specializing in imperial examinations deeply angered the emperor.A few of the imperial censors and censor Zhongcheng who were involved were directly dragged out of the Meridian Gate in the afternoon.

Chen Yicong was merciless and personally ordered to "beat with heart".

In the evening, Chen Yicong got the "Military Order" from Sun Beiji. In the next spring exam, he will see two trials of the special imperial examination in Pingjing and Huizhou.

This outburst of anger was half sincerity, half cooperation—there were some people in the court who were dissatisfied with the cabinet's letting go of this matter, but now under the emperor's monstrous anger, Sun Beiji's affairs will only be better than before.

In the evening, the Hall of Mental Cultivation became empty again.

Chen Yicong walked out of the palace gate alone, and the Huoshaoyun in the western sky was in full swing, reflecting the entire snow-covered imperial city dazzlingly.

Lu Dou stepped forward, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

"Go to the small courtyard." Chen Yicong said softly, "Bai Ling shouldn't have left yet, right?"

Lu Dou turned around and looked at the hourglass, "...it should be."

Chen Yicong pondered for a moment, "The dinner is also delivered to the small courtyard, with a few more sweet dishes and black taro porridge."

After all, Chen Yicong didn't even approve his outer robe, so he strode into the cold wind outside the hall, and Lu Dou exclaimed repeatedly behind him—it was nothing more than old sayings such as snowy weather, cold and slippery ground, Chen Yicong was tired of hearing this.

Amidst the continuous kneeling and bowing of the palace people on both sides, Chen Yicong ran up.
