The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 297 Is Yuan Tuo willing to be a son-in-law?
Among the tray in Feng Yao's hand, on one side was a rolled paper wrapped in thick yellow.That is the dream of many people since then to ascend to the sky in one step and rise to the top.On the other side is a small sandalwood box with a seal.

In front of all the people in the main hall, including the emperor and Feng Yao, the head of the housekeeper, Eunuch Chen, uncovered the yellow sticky paper one by one.Every time one is uncovered, the name on it is read aloud.

When Eunuch Chen read out the names with that shrill voice, Feng Yao was smiling, and his eyes swept over the faces of those adults one by one.Some people's shoulders trembled slightly when they heard a certain name; some people were expressionless, and some people turned to Feng Yao with a sneer face after reading all the names of the candidates in the pilot test, and they looked at Feng Yao relatively.

Feng Yao didn't panic and didn't change his expression.Until the emperor asked her: "Yao'er, what is this box for? You didn't tell father, what other treasures are you hiding?"

"Father, there is no need to be impatient. After Father has hand-picked the top three, he will invite this year's No. [-] Scholar, No. [-] and No. [-]. Yaoer will talk about this box again."

Seeing that Feng Yao wanted to make a fool of himself, the emperor didn't care too much.According to the rules, three out of the top ten in the spring test over the years will be selected as the top three by Yubi.And in the tray that Feng Yao presented, there were also the test papers of these ten people.It will be handed over to the emperor for personal review and will be pointed out one by one.

The emperor took the test papers and read them one by one, and after taking out two of them, he signaled Eunuch Chen to hand the papers to Feng Yao, and said with a smile: "The emperor promised Yao'er at the beginning that you can appoint a Tan Hua Lang. Yao'er should mark the test paper too, let's see how your eyes look."

This encounter with the emperor, in Feng Yao's view, was meant to be a test.The emperor must have read all ten test papers, and he already has a plan in mind.Now the two in the emperor's hands are naturally the No. [-] scholar and the second place, but the one selected by Fengyao is really different from the one that the emperor has in mind.

Feng Yao took the test paper in a calm manner, but did not rush to open it, but said to the emperor: "Father wants to test Yao'er too. But let Yao'er choose a candidate, you can't just rely on one Just one article counts. Yaoer wants to ask the emperor to show mercy, so that the top ten can go to the palace to admire Tianyan. Yaoer doesn't read articles, only looks at character, and then choose from them."

"Hahaha, Yao'er, you are the most clever and have many ideas. Alright, let's announce the first ten candidates to the palace immediately." The emperor immediately laughed.I have to say that Feng Yao is really smart.

Now that the emperor has already made up his mind, but the emperor only reads a test paper, so he may not be able to truly read people.Now that Feng Yao proposes to let Juzi go to the palace, I'm afraid that even the emperor will shift his mind about the number one candidate after seeing these people.

Just imagine that someone can write a good article, but he is pedantic and ignorant of world affairs, so he is naturally not suitable to be an official.There are also people who are full of talents and learning, but have poor character, treachery and misconduct, and they must be dishonest officials. If such people pass the test, the more officials they become in the future, the more people will suffer.

After the imperial decree, almost all of the first ten candidates were unclear.But the officials who came to "invite people" were also shrewd. They immediately urged those people to wash their faces and change their clothes, asking them to put on the cleanest and best clothes, and then checked them one by one. There was body odor and foot odor, and then it was brought to the main hall.

When the ten people were brought into the main hall, the emperor took a look and even put down the test paper that he had been holding in his hand involuntarily.It has to be said that Feng Yao's approach is wise.Ten people stood together, some stood out from the crowd, some were unpretentious, and there was one with twinkling eyes and wicked eyes.

Feng Yao also smiled lightly, he had already made up his mind.

But he never thought that Old General Chu would speak first to the other ministers, and his sneer sneered with a hint of sarcasm, "Eldest Princess is very thoughtful, and I think this palace test is more about choosing a son-in-law for me. Your Majesty, please let me know." The eldest princess picks and chooses."

The emperor was startled for a moment, he really didn't expect that General Chu would say such words at this time.On the contrary, I felt a bit dissatisfied, thinking that he was spoiled by petting?
Feng Yao's smile didn't change, and he didn't pay any attention to the old General Chu's words, he just said to the emperor: "Father, don't forget, Yao'er still has a box with treasures here. Just wait for the top three to confirm, this box Then you can open it and tell the world."

"Oh, that's right, choose the champion first." The emperor is also Feng Yao's biological father, at this time he is dissatisfied with the old General Chu, so naturally he will favor his daughter more.Just when Feng Yao changed the subject, he looked at the ten candidates again.

One look, two questions, three points.The emperor also discarded the test paper, and directly selected two people who were both good-looking and polite.Then he looked at Feng Yao again.

Feng Yao smiled, looked at the rest of the people one by one, and then asked one of them: "Your name is Yuan Tuo?"

"Princess Huichang, the villain Yuan Tuo, whose name is Yongzhi, is from Ning County, Hetong City."

"Okay then, let me ask you: In addition to being selected as the top three in the imperial examination, I also intend to let me choose a son-in-law; if I choose you as a son-in-law, would you be willing?"

Feng Yao's words stunned Yuan Tuo.And the other ministers also looked at him in unison.

If you don't look at it, then you can take it. After reading it, all the ministers nodded secretly, thinking that this Yuan Tuo is really good: at the age of 25 or [-], he is tall and handsome, with a strong character; although he is not an eye-catching handsome man, he is standing there. There is a sense of righteousness, coupled with the elegance of the whole body but not the slightest romantic, what is even more rare is the pair of eyes that are deep and wise, appearing calm and introverted without losing a sense of comfort.

Thinking about Feng Yao's questioning again, when everyone looked at Yuan Tuo again, their eyes were already somewhat ambiguous.And if it wasn't for the previous blind reading, everyone would even wonder if this Yuan Tuo knew the eldest princess before, and now he was promoted here on purpose by the eldest princess?

Feng Yao didn't rush to urge Yuan Tuo to answer, but just looked at him peacefully.From Feng Yao's eyes, there is only appreciation and encouragement, and there is absolutely no selfishness or nostalgia.

Yuan Tuo's eyes flickered, he looked at Feng Yao and then turned to the emperor.Then he knelt down on the main hall with a "plop", and said in a loud voice: "Yuan Tuo doesn't know why the eldest princess asked this question. Although Yuan Tuo had heard the rumors in the market before, he didn't really believe it. Just imagine this spring examination. We are selecting talents for the country, giving all the students an opportunity to display their talents and contribute to the country. But if you only choose a son-in-law for the eldest princess, wouldn’t it be a waste of money and waste of money, and entertain yourself?”
