I was coddled after teasing the insane and cold power

After the palace test, it will be the Qionglin Banquet.

This is a special banquet held by the emperor for those new scholars.

In addition to Xinke Jinshi, there were naturally some civil servants in the court who attended the banquet.

As the current prime minister, Yu Huaijin was also the number one scholar in the last three rounds, so he naturally had to attend this banquet.

After studying hard for many years, once he was in the rankings, and now he was given a banquet by the emperor, all the people present were naturally proud of themselves.

Even if some people have their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, they will not show it on this occasion.

Everyone was very friendly and greeted each other. For a while, the scene was quite harmonious.

When Yu Huaijin arrived, she saw such a scene.

"Prime Minister arrives—"

Hearing the voice from outside, the people inside stopped talking and turned to look at Yu Huaijin who walked in.

"I have seen the Prime Minister."

Everyone present was very excited to see the person whom they regarded as a role model and admired for many years, but they still did not forget to salute.

"You don't need to be too polite." Yu Huaijin nodded slightly.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, we will work together again."

After Yu Huaijin finished speaking, many people present couldn't help but start to look forward to it, and their expressions were slightly excited.

Many people wanted to go forward and talk to Yu Huaijin immediately, but they didn't know what to say.

I was also afraid that I would be too nervous, say the wrong thing, and leave a bad impression on the prime minister.

So for a while, no one spoke rashly.

The scene was a little quiet for a while.

But this atmosphere didn't last long, because Gu Fengxuan came over.

"Your Majesty is here—"

Yu Huaijin quickly reacted and led everyone present to salute Gu Fengxuan.

"See Your Majesty."

Gu Fengxuan walked to his seat and sat down, and then said: "All gentlemen, please take your seats."

Looking at those new faces at the table, Gu Fengxuan was in a very happy mood.

These are all people of insight who have been selected through layers of selection.

If these people can be used by him, then he will have more right to speak in the previous dynasty.

He will not be coerced by those veterans everywhere like before.

Thinking of this, Gu Fengxuan looked at those people with even more joy.

He took the initiative to say: "You are all well-read poems and books, full of economics, and are my pillars for the future."

"This banquet is to congratulate all of you for your excellent achievements, and to hope that you will do your best in the future to share the worries of the imperial court."

After the words fell, the Jinshi present stood up one after another, thanking the emperor for his kindness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best in the future to serve the imperial court!"

"Good good..."

These words made Gu Fengxuan feel happy and nodded repeatedly.

Not long after, the banquet began.

All the officials present were civil servants, and the Jinshi had not yet entered the court, so the discussion at the banquet was basically poetry, poetry, etiquette, poetry and books.

Everyone expressed their views, came and went, and the scene was very lively and harmonious.

Among them, No. [-] and Tanhua are the most outstanding.

Especially the No. [-] Scholar Xuan Wuwei, although he came from a poor family, he has an outstanding literary talent. Not only that, he has dabbled in some gossip, anecdotes and travel notes, as well as local customs.

When Gu Fengxuan watched the other party talk with eloquence and could answer the questions raised by the ministers fluently, the surprise in his heart was beyond words.

He really picked up a treasure this time!

Gu Fengxuan became more and more satisfied with Xuan Wuwei.

During the second half of the banquet, Gu Fengxuan was basically talking to him, and at the end, he even rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold.

Seeing Gu Fengxuan's attitude towards Xuan Wuwei, everyone present knew it.

As long as there are no accidents, this number one scholar will definitely be on the rise in the future.

Therefore, when the banquet was over, many people walked to Xuan Wuwei's side first, exchanged greetings with him, and then said goodbye and left.

Xuan Wuwei didn't feel annoyed, and responded politely one by one.

After everyone left, Xuan Wuwei took the hundred taels of gold that Gu Fengxuan gave him, got into the car and left.

"Master, it's getting late, let's go back too."

Standing behind Yu Huaijin, Cheng Qi reminded her.

Yu Huaijin stood where he was, watching the carriage carrying Xuan Wuwei gradually drive out of his sight.

Only then did he come to his senses and nodded, "Let's go back to the mansion."
-
When Yu Huaijin returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already late.

Originally, he planned to go directly to his room to rest, but as soon as he stepped into the gate of the mansion, he saw Wu Tian running towards him in a panic.

"My lord, Moyin Pavilion, something happened in Moyin Pavilion!"

"what?!"

Yu Huaijin's expression changed, and she hurriedly followed Wu Tian to Moyin Pavilion.

At this time, the Moyin Pavilion was brightly lit up and down.

In the yard, Si Qi and Si Jiu knelt on the ground with a girl who looked crazy and had blood on her body.

People have been gagged and tied up.

The rest of the maids and servants stood aside. Although they had different expressions on their faces, they were all silent, and no one made a sound.

Yu Huaijin came over in a hurry, first glanced around the people in the yard, and finally fixed her eyes on the maid who was kneeling on the ground in a panic.

After seeing the blood on the opponent's body, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart tightened.

"Where is the princess? How is the princess?!"

Yu Huaijin spoke hastily, and looked at Si Qi and Si Jiu who were at the side.

Seeing Yu Huaijin's expression, Si Jiu knew that the master had misunderstood.

Quickly opened his mouth to explain, "Prime Minister, don't worry, this is not the princess' blood."

"The princess was just a little frightened and is resting in the house."

Hearing this, Yu Huaijin heaved a sigh of relief.

It's good that Qian'er wasn't injured.

Then he turned around and prepared to go into the house to see how Gu Qian'er was doing.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door, Yu Huaijin heard Xiaoxi who was beside Gu Qian'er talking.

There is obvious worry and comfort in the tone.

"Princess, it's all right, everyone has already caught it, so don't worry too much."

"It's not your fault, it's all caused by that Xiaomei. If the Queen Mother knows about it, she won't blame you."

"You haven't even eaten dinner yet, the servant brought over some ginseng soup, you drink some, it's shocking."

Seeing that Gu Qian'er still didn't respond, Xiao Xi had no choice but to put the ginseng soup aside again.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Yu Huaijin coming in from the outside.

Hurry up and salute, "I have seen the prime minister."

"Get up." Yu Huaijin waved her hand.

Seeing Gu Qian'er sitting there with her head down, without saying a word.

Yu Huaijin took the initiative to step forward, her voice was very gentle, as if she was afraid to startle the person sitting on the stool, "Qian'er, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

After waiting for a while, Yu Huaijin saw that Gu Qian'er still didn't respond, so after thinking about it, she signaled to Xiaoxi who was beside her to let her go out first.

After the person left, Yu Huaijin sat next to Gu Qian'er, and asked softly and patiently again: "Qian'er, tell the teacher what happened, okay?" (End of this chapter)
