Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 143
Su Li was stunned for a moment, looked at the baby and then at the queen mother, a flash of understanding flashed across her eyes.

It turned out that the Queen Mother still had this idea.

Once Concubine Shu's child is established as the crown prince, her childless queen will become an empty shell, and it will be a matter of time before she is deposed.

In order to deal with herself, the queen mother really planned everything.

She couldn't help looking at the handsome figure beside her, wondering if he would agree.

If he agrees to...

Su Lijin clenched her fingers subconsciously.

Xiao Shengyun refused almost without thinking. When he glanced at the baby, a cold light flashed in his black eyes, and said: "The prince is the future prince, and he must be the son of my queen to be called the prince. Not everyone can be a prince." .”

After repeated rejections, the queen mother yelled angrily: "Your Majesty, do you have to be so angry and mourn your family? The mourning is not for your own good. What is so good about this queen that you are so protective and partial?"

Su Lijin didn't expect that Xiao Shengyun would reject it so completely.

Suddenly, an unspeakable feeling lingered in her heart, which made her heart beat a few times.

"I've made up my mind, don't mention it again, the Queen Mother." Xiao Shengyun was not affected at all, and his voice was cold and calm.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager could not achieve her goal, Su Lijin felt bored, so she saluted and found a reason to leave.

Xiao Shengyun followed her, and said from her side: "Queen, the court really needs to cultivate future princes, the queen would like the court to be stable?"

Su Lijin turned around in surprise, she suspected that she had heard wrong.

Is Xiao Shengyong implying that she will give birth to a prince?
Thinking of the infant baby just now, her expression calmed down: "There are many people in the emperor's harem who can give birth to children, so there is no need for concubines to bother."

After speaking, he quickened his pace and left directly.

It has been a while since the Mongolian envoys came to discuss peace, and it was time for Dorgon to return to the grassland.

This time, Su Moyuan was in charge of sending the envoys, and at the same time went to the border to guard.

When parting, Su Moyuan stroked Su Li's hair with some reluctance, and said: "Brother, if I leave today, I'm afraid it will take a long time to come back."

Su Lijin's nose was sour. The time she and her brother reunited was too short. Unexpectedly, they would part again in a blink of an eye.

"Brother, you must take good care of yourself outside, don't fight recklessly when you encounter danger, you must save your life first."

She was really worried, every time she thought of Su Moyuan's tragic death in her previous life, she would tremble all over.

Su Moyuan smiled, took out a jade necklace and said, "I know, I'm giving this to my sister, I hope she is safe in the palace."

Holding the necklace, the corners of Su Lijin's eyes were red, and she threw herself into his arms, whimpering, "Brother, can you not leave?"

She was really afraid of the recurrence of the past life, too scared.

But how could Su Moyuan stay here?

"Sister take care."

Sighing, Su Moyuan got on his horse and finally left with the team.

Spring is just around the corner, and Xiao Shengyong has been busy with this matter recently.

Su Lijin didn't bother him too much, but heard that Zhao Heng was ordered to serve as the examiner of the martial arts test.

She quietly came outside the palace, saw Tantai Chun dressed as a scholar, and asked: "What's the important thing about asking Ben Gong to come out today?"

Tantai Chun saluted and said, "It's about Chunwei, so I have to invite my lady here."

Su Lijin's expression tightened: "What happened?"

"There are a lot of people selling test questions."

"What did you say?"

Su Lijin was shocked, for a moment, she pursed her lips and said, "You find a way to suppress it, and you can't let this kind of thing get worse."

The fact that Chun Wei's exam questions were being sold meant that someone had leaked the exam questions and was selling them on a large scale.

Chunwei is an important way for the emperor to select officials, and almost all officials in the current dynasty are selected as officials in this way.

Once the Chunwei exam questions are sold, the selected officials will inevitably go to high school by opportunistic methods. Not only do they have no real talents, but even their conduct is very poor. Such people who become officials are a disaster for the country and the people.

Tantai Chun would specifically inform her of the fact that the test questions were being trafficked, so she must have known a lot about the situation before calling her out.

This matter cannot be delayed, delay for a moment, the possible consequences are unimaginable, thinking of this, Su Lijin returned to the palace without stopping.

Putting on Shiqi's attire, she went straight to find Xiao Shengyun.

Chun Wei is the most important thing for Xiao Shengyun in the near future, so he must be told.

"Shiqi? Why are you here?"

Xiao Shengyun raised his head, he was still reviewing the memorial, and the brush he was holding slightly paused.

Su Lijin stepped forward, and at a glance, he saw that the memorial was full of comments about Chunwei's actions, which showed that Xiao Shengyun attached great importance to Chunwei.

"Your Majesty, do you know what happened outside?" She raised her eyes with a serious expression.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Shengyun put down his brush and said, "What did you hear about Shiqi?"

Seeing Su Lijin's expression, his dark eyes were slightly fixed, it seemed that it was not a trivial matter.

"I heard about an amazing thing." Su Lijin nodded: "It's about Chunwei, I wonder if the emperor is interested?"

As soon as the word "Chunwei" came out, Xiao Shengyun's black eyes suddenly deepened.

Now, his expression was a bit solemn, and he raised his hand and said, "It's okay to pick up Qi Qi."

Su Lijin's expression was slightly cold: "There are many people outside who are selling Chunwei test questions!"

"Is this serious?" Xiao Shengyun's heart sank, and his thin lips tightened.

"It's absolutely true." Su Lijin said seriously.

Xiao Shengyun's thin lips curled up, with suppressed anger on his face: "Okay, I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, he said to the eunuch: "Call the ministers, I want to take a good look at my good ministers."

In the court hall, the ministers who were urgently summoned looked at each other and looked at the emperor on the dragon chair in a daze.

"Everyone, today I want to announce something."

Taking everyone's expressions into his eyes, Xiao Shengyun said slowly: "I will come up with the questions for this Chunwei test myself."

Whoa!
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the court, and everyone didn't know why the emperor made such a decision suddenly.

A flash of astonishment flashed in Prime Minister Zhang Wenfeng's old eyes, and then dissatisfaction appeared on his shrewd face.

He didn't know why the emperor suddenly wanted to come up with a question himself, but he definitely couldn't agree to it.

If the emperor asks a question, it will obviously block his way of earning money. Thinking of this, the disapproval on his face became a little bit stronger.

Zhang Wenfeng cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, no, the questions in the Chunwei test are of great importance, so we should be careful in writing the questions."

"Oh? What does the prime minister mean?" Xiao Shengyong asked indifferently.

"For a long time, the questions in Chunwei's exams have been written by officials such as ministers. The questions have been verified by citing scriptures and classics, and they have all been reviewed by civil officials. The content is very sophisticated."

Zhang Wenfeng put on the attitude of a school of veterans, and said: "The emperor has never asked questions before, and his experience is still inexperienced. If you ask questions rashly, it may cause confusion in Chunwei's selection. I hope the emperor will think twice."
