Chapter 196 Qionglin Banquet
The results of the palace examination were quickly decided, with Yi Ziran as the No. [-] scholar, He Huiru as the No. [-], and Qin Yang as Tanhua.Qian Zong announced that three days later, he would bestow the Qionglin Banquet, and feast the officials and scholars of Xinke in Yonghui Hall in the palace.

In this imperial examination, the biggest winners are the Yi family and the Qin family, apart from hundreds of poor students who have been in poverty for ten years.The three sons of the Yi family are all famous on the list, and there are as many as 30 students and family children who have graduated from the Yi family academy, which makes the Yi family academy have the same limelight for a while. .Since no one in the Qin family was involved in the fraud case, the six more talented children have all graduated from high school.Most of the other aristocratic families only have one or two hits.At the same time, Qian Zong can also be regarded as the winner. Since most of the participants in this scientific examination fraud case were the children of aristocratic families, when Qian Zong passed Yi Taifu's proposal to abolish the nobility recommendation system, none of the ministers Say one more word.

Speaking of which, the losers are naturally the students who participated in the fraud this time.No matter whether you are talented or not, at least you have lost the opportunity to have a fair chance, leaving behind a disgraceful past.But none of that mattered when they learned they could live.As for joining the army, many people naively think that if someone in the family has money, and they only have three years, it will be over after a while.

Similarly, Yu Shangshu is also counted as a loser.To be honest, everyone knows what is going on in the fraud case.When things turned out, everyone could think of Yu Jia's good, but with the current result, Yu Jia became everyone's punching bag.Although Yu Shangshu thought that this was not caused by his mistake, and he was very wronged, but no one gave him a place to reason.Coupled with the tragic death of the ten examiners, those who knew the account put this account on Yu Shangshu's head.To be honest, facing such a cruel person, no one who is smart would get close. Therefore, a large number of people who used to surround Yu Shangshu dispersed, and the Yu family seemed to be isolated.

In addition, the aristocrats of the aristocratic family are still busy with one thing, which is robbing son-in-law.Needless to say, the sons of nobles, those who made the titles on the gold list have doubled their wealth, and the threshold of their families will be trampled.Those poor students have also become the guests of the wealthy families. Although their family background is not good, they have unlimited potential when they become officials. The prostitute daughters in the family are not good, but the concubine daughters are just fine, as long as they are smart and not married Yes, but it is very popular and in short supply, so the aristocratic families can only grab it.

Three days were spent in this bustling atmosphere, which showed that everything was ready for the Qionglin Banquet where the scholars were about to officially enter the officialdom.Early in the morning, there was a lot of traffic outside the palace, and the officials and their families arrived early.Officials can enter the hall to chat first, while women are first led by the maids to meet the queen.Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu came hand in hand, at the boundary between the inner palace and the outer palace, Yun Yuhong hesitated for a moment, and chose to enter the palace with Bai Ziyu.The queen mother is meeting with the wives, that is, a group of women chatting. She is really not interested in participating, and she is still comfortable sitting with the ministers.

In Fengyi Palace, the empress was a little tired after receiving batch after batch of people, but she just wanted to take a break and drink a glass of water, when Madam Jingyuanhou and her family were notified outside, the empress frowned, and got up to welcome them out .When they arrived at the door, they happened to walk across from Mrs. Jingyuanhou, which made both parties stunned for a while.

The queen was stunned because she saw the plainly dressed Zhao Fengfeng.Zhao Fengfeng has not entered the palace for a while, and I don't know when his taste in clothing has changed. The original exquisite and gorgeous brocade clothes have been replaced by simple and elegant clothes, but the number one beauty is the number one beauty after all, although she is a little less graceful and luxurious , but a little more elegant and beautiful, with a special charm.

The queen welcomed the people in, and after seeing the ceremony, she chatted about the family affairs. What Mrs. Jingyuan Hou said implicitly meant that she wanted to invite the queen to come forward and find someone with a better family background among the scholars of Xinke to choose a good husband for Zhao Fengfeng.

The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Fengfeng seemed to have figured it out, and no longer insisted on entering the palace. This is a good thing for her. To be able to defeat the tenderness of a young and beautiful woman like Zhao Fengfeng, she doesn't want to gamble, not at all, but she can't refuse the request of her natal parents, so Zhao Fengfeng can give up. I will try my best.

The Qionglin Banquet didn't officially start until evening. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wished Qian Zong good talents, and Qian Zong also encouraged the new scholars. During the banquet, everyone exchanged glasses and drank heartily.

Although the Xinke scholars were drinking, most of them still looked at Zhao Fengfeng from time to time. Before the banquet, there was news that the queen would marry Zhao Fengfeng, the first beauty, which made those who were engaged couldn't help feeling sad , missed the opportunity to embrace the beauty, and the thoughts of not being engaged were all active, and they tried their best to show that they wanted to attract the attention of the queen and Miss Zhao. , It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Qianzong and the queen also saw all this in their eyes, the queen smiled secretly, and asked Mrs. Yi: "Mrs. Yi, the eldest son is the number one scholar in high school. It can be said that he has achieved fame. Now he has to consider his family. I don't know how Mr. Yi Is there a marriage?"

Mr. Yi is not yet engaged, but the queen has already inquired about it. This young man has a good family background, good looks, and talent. His future future is limitless. It is more than enough to be the number one beauty of Moyun. Things are still on my mind.

Mrs. Yi was taken aback, and looked at Mrs. Yi intuitively. To be honest, the number one beauty, the Yi family, was not to be admired. All I heard was that the queen asked on the spot, and Mrs. Yi didn't know how to refuse for a while.

Before the Yi family could speak, Yun Yuhong interjected: "Mother, I have already made an appointment for the marriage of Eldest Young Master Yi, so don't rob me."

The Yi family was stunned again. They didn't know when this happened.

The queen was a little unhappy, and asked: "Don't lie to me, you see they don't know it themselves, how do you want to arrange it?"

Yun Yuhong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether they know or not, the important thing is that I can make the decision, and not only Mr. Yi, but also the marriage affairs of the three masters of the Yi family are all up to me. If you want to be a matchmaker, queen mother, you can do it separately." Find someone else."

Although Qianzong didn't know what Yun Yuhong meant, he didn't want outsiders to see the royal mother and daughter's estrangement, so he smiled and said to the queen: "Hong'er told me about the marriage of the three young masters of the Yi family. Let's talk."

The queen was angry, but she couldn't say anything more, she nodded and stopped asking, and her mind turned to other scholars. The second place He Huiru's family was poor and inappropriate, and Tanhua Qin Yang was married. I couldn't find a suitable one for my marriage.

The queen was trying to think of a suitable candidate. Zhao Fengfeng's face was blushing and pale, which was very ugly. Others didn't know that she knew in her heart that Yun Yuhong was deliberately interfering with her marriage.The more Zhao Fengfeng thought about it, the more sad he became, so he said a few words to Mrs. Jingyuanhou, and quietly left the banquet.

The emperor is in a good mood, and the ministers are now very flattering to Qian Zong. Words of praise are pouring out, and the wine is toasted glass after glass. After a while, Qian Zong feels a little dizzy, so he can only get up and say : "I'm overwhelmed with alcohol, I'm going to rest first, Empress, Ziyu, take all your ministers to drink to your heart's content, and you will never return home without getting drunk."

Everyone got up to send Qianzong away, and then toasted each other with the scholars. In the future, everyone will be officials in the same court, so naturally they should take the opportunity to connect with each other.

Yun Yuhong was not interested in these social gatherings, but Bai Ziyu couldn't leave, so she could only accompany her to see the still unhappy queen, scolded everyone in the Zhao family in her heart, and then quietly walked forward to coax herself mother having fun.

But not long after, there was a panic in the harem, and someone shouted for escort, Yun Yuhong froze for a moment, and took the lead to run to the harem. Others also realized that something might have happened to Qian Zong, and ran after him.

The voice came from Fengyi Palace which is the closest to Yonghui Palace. The imperial guards had come to set up the formation. Yun Yuhong didn't have time to think about it, and rushed in with someone. The door of the queen's bedroom was wide open, and Zhao Fengfeng's clothes were inside. Unexpectedly fell to the ground and was sobbing, Qian Zong sat on the bed with only his underwear on.

Yun Yuhong was relieved to see that Qianzong was fine, but seeing such a scene, Yun Yuhong's heart sank. It seemed that he was still careless, and this matter would not end well.

The queen arrived later, saw the scene in the room with a thud and almost fell down, but fortunately, the palace servants around her helped them up cleverly, but tears flowed down.

The others all lowered their heads, wishing they had never seen the scene in front of them in their life. Fortunately, there were many people who ran into Qianzong's scandal, otherwise they would not be silenced. The emperor is also a human being, and he also loves beautiful women, and he can have sex after drinking, but His face was dull even after being hit by a courtier.

Master Zhou came forward and said: "It's good that the emperor has nothing to do. I will take my leave when the wine is exhausted today." The next step is your family affairs, the emperor, so we avoided it.

Yun Yuhong said angrily: "Wait a minute, no one can leave until the matter is clarified. This is my mother's queen's bedroom, and these unclear things cannot be tolerated. My father is not a lustful king, nor This kind of taint cannot be tolerated, let’s make it clear what is right and wrong.”

Marquis Jingyuan Zhao said angrily: "It's good for everyone to know what is going on, the emperor's harem just accepts a concubine, isn't this something you can't understand?"

"Concubine, is it so easy to be a concubine? I don't even want this kind of shameless woman to be fed to dogs. My father doesn't like any woman." Yun Yuhong said coldly.The farther away this kind of scourge is, the better. I really hate myself for being soft-handed and not getting rid of her sooner.
