Farmer's little lucky wife has magic

Chapter 598 598. The Truth Comes Out (35)

In the crowd, Yan Jingkui stared at Chu Qingzhi with a somewhat unfriendly gaze. He didn't believe that someone could improve their knowledge by leaps and bounds after reading all night. There must be something wrong with it.

Chu Qingzhi noticed Yan Jingkui's gaze and turned her head to look over. Her gaze was very calm, like a pool of water without waves.

Yan Jingkui didn't expect that Chu Qingzhi would look over, he was startled, and an unspeakable feeling spread in his heart, he immediately looked away, not daring to look any more.

After he calmed down a bit, he found that the clothes on his back were all wet at some point.

Next to him, Zeng Ruijie followed Yan Jingkui's gaze, and when he saw Chu Qingzhi, he quickly withdrew his gaze, "Brother Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Jingkui forced himself to be calm, shook his head, "It's okay!"

At this time, the high-pitched voice of the little eunuch came, "The emperor is here!"

Everyone saluted and then stood still.

The emperor walked towards Piyong, came to the platform on the second floor of Piyong, said some words of encouragement to everyone, and then began the part that everyone was most looking forward to... winning the lottery.

The little eunuch brought a chair for the emperor to sit on, and the next thing was done by Cao Changkun, the master of wine offerings.

Cao Changkun stepped onto the platform, looked at the crowd and said, "Let's announce the leaders one by one in the order they were arranged."

"The first item, policy theory, policy theory is a bit special. Xu Guannan from Yunfei Academy and Jiang Zhanglin from Guozijian won the first place at the same time."

Xu Guannan and Jiang Zhanglin turned their heads at the same time, their eyes passed through the crowd, and met together, and the next second, they turned their eyes away at the same time, and walked towards Piyong together.

The little eunuch held out two boxes, "Congratulations to both of you for winning the first prize."

The two took the box, thanked each other, then turned and walked towards their group position, a subtle atmosphere circulated around their bodies.

After a while, Cao Changkun announced, "The following is another special case, horse racing. I declare that the winner of the horse racing is...Chu Qingzhi."

Chu Qingzhi looked up, what's the matter with her, she didn't participate in the competition?
Everyone's eyes focused on Chu Qingzhi, full of curiosity and exploration. There had never been a precedent for a girl to participate in a poetry ceremony, let alone win the first prize.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ​​looked at each other, when did Fifth Sister participate in the horse race?

Chu Qingzhi walked towards Piyong, "Master Jijiu, there was an accident, it can't be considered a competition."

Cao Changkun looked at the emperor secretly, seeing the happy face of the emperor, he knew that it was the right thing to do, "Although it was an accident, everyone present at the time saw that you ran to the finish line first and performed the most difficult flying horse in the air. , I think, no one will object to this result."

Indeed, no one objected, not to mention offending the emperor and Lord Jijiu, and besides, they are indeed no match, Chu Qingzhi's strength lies in that.

The emperor said, "What should be yours is yours, take it."

Chu Qingzhi took the box over, "Thank you, Your Majesty." She returned with the box in her hands.

Seeing Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ​​staring at the box in her hand, she casually gave it to them.

The brothers were very curious, took the box and went to the corner.

Chu Xuyuan opened the box, and immediately his eyes widened. It turned out to be a box of golden melon seeds, golden and full.

Seeing that the two brothers were so surprised, Chu Qingzhi glanced at it, and couldn't help smiling when she saw a box of golden melon seeds. This prize is really practical, and she likes it.

Chu Xuyuan covered the box, took it back and put it in Chu Qingzhi's hands, "Fifth Sister, you should keep it, it will be bad if you drop it."

"Go back and see later."

"Ah."

It took an hour to announce the result of the competition, Cao Changkun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and it finally ended smoothly.

At this moment, Zhuang Yuyan jumped over the crowd, came to the front of Piyong, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the students have something to say."

The emperor had some impressions of Zhuang Yuyan. He was good at matching pairs and had good knowledge. "What's the matter with you?"

When Yan Jingkui saw this scene, his heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

Zhuang Yuyan said, "Yesterday, the students and Yan Jingkui were fighting couplets. At the end of the fight, they left a couplet. The couplet was very difficult. At that time, Yan Jingkui didn't match, so I said I will reveal the answer this morning."

"At that time, I didn't think of an excellent second couplet, so I called my brothers together and worked together."

"Later, I really couldn't figure it out. Chu Xuyuan said that her fifth sister could match couplets. Everyone knows Miss Chu's ability. After a night of research, she finally wrote an excellent couplet."

"But this second couplet was changed to blank paper on the way."

"Your Majesty, I'm telling this matter not because I want to win or lose, but because I want the truth to come out."

Yan Jingkui's face was pale, he never thought that Zhuang Yuyan would tell the matter to the emperor.

In a panic, he knelt down on the ground and argued, "Your Majesty, that couplet was written by a student, not a replacement. Your Majesty, please check it out."

As soon as he said this, all the students of Yunfei Academy were relieved.

The emperor is not stupid, he quickly reacted, "Bold, how dare you deceive the emperor!"

Yan Jingkui was so frightened that his body trembled, and he said in a panic, "Your Majesty is aware, but the students dare not."

The emperor said sternly, "Just now Zhuang Yuyan didn't say who changed the couplets from the beginning to the end, but you said that you didn't change the couplets. Isn't that a self-report?"

Yan Jingkui was sweating profusely, without thinking, "Luo Jisheng exchanged the couplets. I didn't think of the second couplets, so I took them over and used them. Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

If Luo Jisheng knew that Yan Jingkui sold him so easily, he would regret it so much.

Cao Changkun and other Guozijian students all gave Yan Jingkui a hard look. The reputation of the Guozijian is now completely ruined, and they were still laughing at the people of Yunfei Academy just now, so they slapped Yan Jingkui in the face so quickly.

The emperor said angrily, "Even if you didn't participate in the exchange, but you used other people's couplets, and your conduct is so low, it's useless for you to be a student of the Imperial College!"

Yan Jingkui fell to his knees on the ground, sweating profusely, "I beg the emperor to forgive me, the students are also obsessed with ghosts for a while, and I will never dare again in the future."

The emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache, "I think you and Luo Jisheng are the first offenders. I forgive you once. In the next three years, besides studying, you will also have to sweep the Imperial Prison. In addition, you need to apologize to Chu Qingzhi until she forgives you." .”

Yan Jingkui kowtowed immediately, "It's the emperor, the students must do the same."

Chu Xuyuan tugged on Chu Qingzhi's sleeve, "Fifth Sister, this punishment is too light."

Chu Qingzhi whispered, "Punishing them depends on their family background. It's not as simple as it seems on the surface. When you think about problems in the future, you can't think independently of individuals, and you have to combine their family backgrounds, understand?"

In this era, personal interests are never paramount, but family interests are paramount. Without a family, no matter how powerful a person is, he will not be strong.
