Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 490: Making Tricks (2)
Lin Mo smiled coldly. On the way to the Gongyuan, he had already noticed that someone was playing tricks on him. He quietly exchanged the pawn ticket for the note in order to test who the person was scheming against him. Muyun City.

Cheating is the most taboo in the imperial examinations for recruiting talents. Once found out, you will be kicked out of the examination room. If the situation is serious, you will be deprived of the qualifications for the examination, and you will not be allowed to step into the examination room for life. Mu Yuncheng wants to completely ruin his official career. , The mind is really vicious.

"Young Master Mu, the examination order issued by the emperor is to test the talents of the students. It is cheating to carry a note that copied the contents of the book. The few words on the ticket have nothing to do with the knowledge we have learned. , how can it be called cheating? Could it be that Mr. Mu thought that there would be questions on the test paper to test how we treat things?"

Lin Mo's humorous and sharp rebuttal made the students laugh out loud, and even Mr. Ma showed a slight smile on his serious face.

Mu Yuncheng's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he clenched his hands under his sleeves tightly. How dare a lowly poor student dare to laugh at him, it's extremely abominable!
"What happened?" came a gentle and indifferent voice.

Mr. Ma turned his head and saw Prime Minister Du, Xiao Tianling, and Su Changjing slowly walking over. He immediately stepped forward and led the candidates to salute: "I have met the third prince."

Xiao Tianling glanced at the candidates all over the floor, and said calmly, "Get up, Mr. Ma, why are the students so noisy?"

Mu Yuncheng's eyes flickered, he walked forward quickly, and said before Mr. Ma said, "Return to the third prince, the students are discussing whether the pawn ticket found is a cheating note or not!"

Lin Mo frowned indistinctly when he heard what he said, but he underestimated Mu Yuncheng's insidiousness, despicability and shamelessness.

Master Ma heard Mu Yuncheng's straightforward complaint, and retorted coldly: "Young Master Mu, there is no word related to the exam on the pawn ticket, how can it be considered cheating?"

"Master Ma, the examination order expressly stipulates that as long as you bring a foreign object with words on it, it is a violation of the regulations. That pawn ticket is full of words!" Mu Yuncheng retorted mercilessly. On the one hand, if you tell this truth to the third prince, you don't have to worry about kicking Lin Mo away.

Master Ma frowned and said: "Ten years of hard study and traveling thousands of miles to Beijing is not easy. If he misses this exam and wastes three years because of a pawn ticket, it would be too hard-hearted."

"My lord, there is no distance without rules. We, the courtiers, must strictly implement the examination order set by the emperor himself. Being soft-hearted is dereliction of duty." Mu Yuncheng said every word sonorously.

"Mu Guogong, the test order is to punish those who really made mistakes. If you see something outside your body with words, you are cheating. It's too much..."

Xiao Tianling looked at Lin Mo during the debate between the two, and saw that he was extraordinary, with rare integrity and tenacity lingering between his brows, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity for his talent: "The words on the ticket and the content of the exam It doesn't matter at all, it can't be considered as cheating, but the examination order clearly stipulates that foreign objects with words are not allowed, and this pawn ticket is not allowed to be brought into the Gongyuan!"

"Students obey!" Lin Mo responded politely, glanced at the gloomy Mu Yuncheng, and took the pen, ink, stone and inkstone that had been checked.

Mu Yutang stood at the window of Duobaoge's elegant room, staring at Xiao Tianling, Prime Minister Du, and Su Changjing from a distance. They strode into the tribute courtyard and frowned slightly. She knew that the deputy examiner for the literary test was Prime Minister Du, and the deputy examiner for the military test was Prime Minister Du. Su Changjing, just said: "Eldest Prince Xiao, didn't you say that the chief examiner of the imperial examination is Prince Xiao Tianjun? How did he become the third prince Xiao Tianling?"

"Last night, Xiao Tianjun ate crabs and accidentally got chills in his lungs. He was bedridden and could no longer come to the Tribute Academy to take the exam. The emperor ordered Xiao Tianling to take his place." The pupils of the eyes are bottomless.

Mu Yutang knew that crabs were a food of great cold, and eating too much would indeed make one's body cold, but, the crown prince was a martial artist, with a strong body and deep internal energy, so eating it would actually hurt the lungs?
"How did the imperial physician make the diagnosis?"

"Eating too many crabs will cause the lungs to catch cold. Take some warming and tonic medicine, eat more hot food, and rest for half a month, and you will recover." Xiao Qingyu stated the imperial physician's diagnosis verbatim.

Mu Yutang blinked her eyes, lowered her voice and said, "That imperial doctor... is there any problem?"

Xiao Qingyu's eyes flickered: "Queen, the crown prince has used the imperial physician for nearly ten years, so it should be fine."

Mu Yutang smiled, Xiao Tianjun didn't get sick in the morning, and he didn't get sick in the evening, but he ate and hurt his body the night before the imperial examination. It was a coincidence that he was sick. He couldn't get out of bed because of a serious illness, and Xiao Tianjun could no longer be the chief examiner of the exam. , missed a great opportunity to recruit students...

There was a slight knock on the door, and the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion walked in with a smile on the door. The man behind him was holding a large tray with dozens of pairs of delicate earrings on the red flannel: "These earrings symbolize Wearing auspicious and wishful, it is most suitable for big weddings..."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Mu Yutang and Xiao Qingyu came to Duobao Pavilion to choose earrings and accessories for their wedding day, and it was only by chance that they saw the scene just now.

The imperial examination has nothing to do with her. What she has to do now is to buy all the clothes and jewelry she will wear when she gets married.

At the same time, the prince's east palace was silent. The maids, nurses, and eunuchs were all sent out of the palace. The queen stood in front of the bed, looking at the pale and haggard prince on the big bed, with worry and displeasure in her eyes: "Who is it?" Suggest eating crabs?"

"It's a concubine!" Shangguan Yan said in a low voice, walking in front of the queen, her eyelids drooping, her expression slightly haggard.

The queen looked at her rosy face, and her eyes filled with anger: "It's the end of autumn, and it's going to be winter soon, yet you still eat crabs? You're not afraid that your body will catch cold and it will be difficult to conceive. The prince is still afraid of hurting his body, he is a noble person, he needs to pay more attention to daily necessities of life, how did you take care of him, and let him hurt his heart?"

"The concubine didn't take good care of the prince, the concubine knows it's wrong!" Shangguan Yan gritted her teeth secretly, feeling aggrieved in her heart. She and Xiao Tianjun each ate a crab. She was a weak woman who was healthy and safe. Xiao Tianjun, who was high-strength and had profound inner strength, unexpectedly fell ill.

"What's the use of knowing your mistakes? Can you make Tianjun the chief examiner again? Can you help him recruit civil and military talents for the imperial examination?" The queen reprimanded sharply, with a rare stern look on her brows, Shangguanyan was chosen by her personally She is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's appearance, talent, and family background. In the past few months of marrying into the Prince's East Palace, she has never said a single serious word to Shangguan Yan, but this time, Shangguan Yan has let her down too much.

Xiao Tianjun looked at the tears flickering in Shangguan Yan's eyes, and felt very distressed: "Mother, you can't blame Yan'er entirely, the minister is also at fault..."
