Book with Emperor

Chapter 174
The Empress Xiangwei, the Dragon Lady of Daxia, and the teacher of Emperor Daxi, these three can be said to be the three most powerful women in the world. Standing together, who is more beautiful?

For this question, Han Zhengwei has only one sentence, "How would I know?"

Zhao Fan asked anxiously, "You can't see with your eyes? Can't you see beauty and ugliness?"

Han Zhengwei wondered, "But none of them are ugly, I can't tell."

"Can--"

"Forget it, that's what he said."

Feng Jinci understood what he meant, "These three have their own merits, and he can't compare them."

Han Zhengwei nodded, glanced at her again, and said seriously, "But it's true that they are all prettier than you."

Feng Jin resigned: "..."

"what happened?"

"Han Zhengwei, you really hate me."

"I did it on purpose."

"you--"

Feng Jinci glared at him, and said with a sneer, "You don't look very good yourself."

Zhao Fan shook his head and said, "Mrs. Zhenweihou was also a rare beauty back then, Brother Han is the most handsome among us."

Han Zhengwei looked at Feng Jinci proudly, "Did you hear that?"

Feng Jinci still sneered, "Does he dare to compare with Master Xuanhe?"

Zou Lezhi, who had been silent behind him, suddenly answered, "Incomparable."

Han Zhengwei had also heard the name of Mr. Xuanhe, but he was still a little unconvinced. He turned his head and asked, "Have you met Mr. Xuanhe?"

"No."

Zou Lezhi shook his head honestly, "However, there are rumors that someone bribed a killer to assassinate Young Master Xuanhe, but the killer put down his knife when he saw Young Master Xuanhe."

The three stretched their necks together, and even He Sheng listened curiously, "Why?"

"Because the killer was surprised and the beauty of Mr. Xuanhe is rare in the world, and he shouldn't be destroyed by me, so the killer chose to give up the mission, and finally committed suicide by killing himself."

"..."

There was a moment of silence, and the few people were silent for a long time before Feng Jinci spoke with difficulty, "So... the killer was killed by beauty?"

Zou Lezhi thought for a while, "That's almost what it means."

Han Zhengwei dismissed it, "It's ridiculous, can a man be more beautiful than a woman? It must be a rumor, maybe it was passed on by Mr. Xuanhe himself."

Zhao Fan was thoughtful, "Maybe it's true, the place in Daxia is very evil, I heard that the dragon girl lived for many years..."

"Pull it down, I've seen Dragon Girl before, she's just a girl in her teens, not as old as a crazy girl."

"roll!"

Zou Lezhi said slowly, "Although the rumors are exaggerated, it can also show that Mr. Xuanhe's beauty is rare in this world."

At this point, the few people had forgotten the original topic, and when they were getting bored, Ning Zhao finally arrived.

Everyone was suddenly quiet, no matter who they were, they all stood up and saluted the people on the high platform, "Join Your Majesty!"

"Retire without courtesy."

Ning Zhao was in a good mood, and glanced at the audience with a smile. His gaze paused for a moment on the stern-faced Ning Si, then quickly passed over, and finally landed on Qin Guanyue beside him. His expression was in a daze for a moment. In the end it turned into a smile.

"It's rare for Guanyue to dress up tonight, which shows that he attaches great importance to this year's top three in the new department."

"The pillar of the country, the moon watcher must treat each other with courtesy."

Qin Guanyue replied very respectfully and sincerely, giving enough face and respect to those scholars and the top three in the new department.

Those Confucian scholars who came here specially for the Baigong Order also put down a big stone in their hearts. It seems that neither His Majesty nor the emperor's teachers mean to despise Confucian scholars and imperial examinations, on the contrary they still attach great importance to them.

The second place in the new division and Tanhua were relieved when they heard the words, but Xie Heng, the champion, looked calm and didn't seem to care about it.

Wen Maoge saw the expressions of everyone in the corner, and Xie Heng's calmness made him look twice more.

On the high platform, Ning Zhao also began to bring up today's theme, naming the names of the top three in Chunwei this year, and then awarding them one by one.

Ning Zhao's words were very friendly, and he also talked about family affairs, and then asked about the family affairs of the three of them logically, and finally brought up the matter of marriage.

Everyone knew well that this was about to give a marriage, and the lower group of courtiers couldn't help but raised their hearts. After all, the relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, and His Majesty's bestowing a marriage is a measure to balance power, how could they not care about it?
Of course, except for Qin Guanyue, she was playing with the wine glass boredly, and her peripheral vision fell on Yue Wentian in the corner.

And Yue Wentian seemed to have noticed her gaze, and raised his eyes to look over.

The eyes of the two met over the heads of the crowd. This feeling was too subtle, and Qin Guanyue couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth in that strange joy.

And Yue Wentian, who was far away in the corner of the stage, only blamed his good eyes, even if he was a hundred steps away, he could still see the corners of her curved mouth and those smiling eyes.

His heart beat faster again, and he wanted to lower his head, but he couldn't help looking at the other person, and the emotions in his chest were agitating and clamoring.

At no moment has he been more eager for that high seat than at this moment, just because he can walk to Qin Guanyue's side in an open and honest manner, only in his own eyes.

Besides the two of them, Ke Wang Ningsi could clearly see the secret actions between them, and the resentment and anger in his heart almost made him forget to pay attention to Ning Zhao's gift of marriage to Xie Heng.

Until Xie Heng raised his skirt and knelt down to Ning Zhao, he refused the marriage offer in full view.

Ning Zhao was not annoyed, and asked with a smile, "Does Xie Aiqing belong to her?"

Xie Heng shook his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty bestowing a marriage is a favor, but I have something to ask for, so I dare not accept any more rewards."

What he said was so obvious that I don't want a marriage, I want something else.

It is rare to see such a bold person who dares to bargain with His Majesty, neither has he been seen by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, nor has Ning Zhao.

But he likes arrogant people. After all, people who walk in front of him can be arrogant, so they must have the capital of arrogance, such as...

He subconsciously glanced at Qin Guanyue on the right, but saw a smile on the corner of her mouth, his eyes moved slightly, and looked at Xie Heng in the audience again.

"what do you want?"

"I want to enter Dali Temple."

Ning Zhao was a little surprised. The position of Dali Temple is very delicate. Although it has power, it is independent of the political situation of the court.

The others were also very surprised. Although King Ke Ningsi's complexion was not very good, he was not surprised. It was obvious that Xie Heng had already greeted him.

So he asked, "Why do you want to enter Dali Temple?"

Xie Heng only said one sentence, "I am an official, not for power, not for wealth and glory, but for justice and clarity."

"it is good!"

Ning Zhaolong was overjoyed, patted the armrest, and immediately agreed to his request, conferring him the title of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and made him a fourth-rank official worshiper, the highest among the three.

Ning Zhao intends to continue this joyful energy, glanced at the crowd below, and said with a smile, "The number one scholar, I originally wanted to choose a beautiful woman to accompany me, but there is no fate, but I suddenly remembered that there seems to be children in your love family Are you an adult and unmarried?"

After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Oh, yes, there is also my Si'er."

Ning Si's face turned pale, and everyone was terrified.

Just now when His Majesty was coming, King Ke had such a tit-for-tat confrontation with the emperor. They thought His Majesty didn't know, but now it seems that His Majesty knows.

A few people raised their heads and glanced at the emperor's teacher beside the emperor, their expressions were pleasant, and they were obviously not surprised.

Sure enough, this emperor's teacher never acted just to vent his anger. It turned out that he deliberately provoked the relationship between His Majesty and King Ke. This move was not vicious.

Ning Si naturally figured out the joints, cast a gloomy glance at Qin Guanyue on the high platform, then got up and replied respectfully, "I used to be young and ignorant, and did a lot of absurd things, which made my father bother me."

With his words, he pushed all the matter of begging to marry the emperor teacher to the young and absurd, Ning Zhao smiled when he heard the words, as if he was relieved.

However, the next moment he looked at the banquet, "There is a daughter in the family of the servant of the Ministry of Rites, who is not yet married, and has strict etiquette, but she just matches Si'er."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes changed slightly.
