Mrs. Pinqiao

Chapter 55 Suspicion deepens

The hall is resplendent and magnificent, majestic and quiet, showing the grandeur of the royal family. Ning Zimo stood alone in the center, majestic and stable as Mount Tai. "What do you think of my minister's proposal?"

Sitting on the tall throne, Li Yan was sluggish and out of tune with this great hall. He was obviously not interested in his proposal, so he raised his hand casually, "This woman should stay at home and take care of her husband and children, taking some scientific examinations."

Ning Zimo remained unchanged, planning strategies, "Women are officials. It has been recorded since the reign of Emperor Chengzong. It is not a precedent and has made great achievements. Today's "Customs Waterway Law" is based on the female officials at that time. The changes in the "Commercial Transport Law" were only gradually ignored by people as time went by. Therefore, I believe that if the emperor reforms the scientific examination system and can achieve results, the emperor's great achievements should be passed down to future generations."

Li Yan stretched out his hand to drag his forehead, and frowned. Ever since he became the emperor, he felt a headache when he heard these political opinions, "Ai Qing, you are the only one who understands things in the whole court, why are you starting to be like those old-fashioned people?" , I don't have these thoughts, so Ai Qing shouldn't bother me with these things."

Ning Zimo glanced at the person next to him, and then continued: "The emperor has a lot of time to manage, so naturally he won't have such leisure time to manage trivial matters. As long as the emperor agrees to my proposal, I will take full power to handle this matter and never let the emperor be upset. "

Li Yan rubbed his forehead, looked at the person beside him, "What do you think, Queen?"

The person beside him raised his head slightly, and just by looking at her, he felt that his soul was sucked away by her. Her expression was full of amorous feelings, with autumn water as her face, jade as her bone, her skin as fat as jade, and her hair as silk. Her brows are slightly cold, as if she is the most attractive, and when she smiles, her flaming red lips can make half of the world fall for her.

She leaned against Li Yan's side, her finger was green and white, and her voice was like a yellow warbler, "Your Majesty, this concubine sounds very interesting, so you might as well agree to him. If you really have meritorious deeds, then it's because your Majesty made a good decision... ..."

Li Yan laughed "hehe", and held her hand, eyes full of doting, "Listen to the queen, sure."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ning Zimo made a big salute, looked up at Yin Qingqing inexplicably, "Thank you, Madam."

Yin Qingqing sneered, stretched out her slender fingers to brush her hair behind her ears, her brows were picturesque, as delicate as a character in a painting.

Ning Zimo put away the sealed jade seal and left the palace. Outside the palace gate, Qi Bing waited for him in the carriage, and greeted him respectfully, "Master Xiang is done?"

Ning Zimo let out a "hmm", brushed up his robe and got into the carriage. As soon as he got in, he raised the curtain again, "By the way, I asked you to investigate the matter of Tan Su and Yin Sheng, how did you find it?" gone?"

Qi Bing slowly drove the carriage, and it turned "gululu", "Master Hui, it's roughly the same as what Tan Su said, but my subordinates always think it's too coincidental."

"Oh?" Ning Zimo was a little surprised, and sat upright, "What do you think?"

"Tan Su never eats out and stays overnight, but she went to Yipinju alone, which is very strange in itself, and it is even more strange when Yin Sheng happens to be there."

Ning Zimo laughed, "What's so strange? It's just a coincidence. I've met Yin Sheng a few times. He is indeed a nosy person."

"Master Xiang, don't you think that Tan Su deliberately made friends with Yin Sheng?"

Ning Zimo held his chin and began to think carefully, his pupils gradually became darker, "Yin Sheng is the queen's cousin, it's not surprising that she wants to make friends."

Qi Bing didn't speak, only cared about driving the horse.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the guard at the door announced: "After the Prime Minister left, Mr. Tan also went out."

Ning Zimo turned his head abruptly, "Where did she go?"

"Subordinates don't know."

Ning Zimo took a deep breath, frowned, and walked quickly inside, obviously angry, "Qi Bing, go and check right away, find out where she has been these past few days, who she met, what did you say?" What words!"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang."

When Tan Su returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ning Zimo was already there. He was sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and looking at the scenery. He narrowed his fox eyes, making it hard to see clearly, as if he was deliberately waiting for her.

"You're back."

Tan Su hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I have met Mr. Xiang."

Ning Zimo lowered his head and went to fetch the teapot. As soon as he raised his hand, Tan Su stepped forward to refill tea for him, "Tan Sulai will do such trivial things, so I can't bother Mr. Xiang."

In the past, Ning Zimo would have been happy physically and mentally, and would have praised her a few words along the way, but today he glanced at her and remained silent.

Tan Su also noticed the strangeness, and waited quietly by the side after adding some tea, sneaking a look at Ning Zimo's face, he couldn't see any joy or anger, and felt faintly uneasy.

After a long time, she tentatively said, "Master Xiang...are you in a bad mood today?"

He took a sip of tea, but there was still no joy or anger on his face. He looked up at her, his peach eyes always contained a certain kind of charm, which was alluring, "Susu, the relic is really what you want. , what you asked for has come down today."

Tan Su's eyes widened, "Master Xiang said..."

Ning Zimo took out a memorial, casually placed it on the table, raised his eyebrows and signaled, "Open it and have a look."

Tan Su couldn't wait to unfold the memorial, read it word by word, and closed it with a "snap" after reading it, raised her head excitedly, "Master Xiang, is this true?"

Ning Zimo nodded with a smile, "It's no surprise that your name will be on the list for the examination in February next year."

"But I didn't take the township examination this year, is that okay?"

He sipped his tea casually, calm and calm, "Three years ago, you passed the examination in Lizhou as a scholar. I'll just ask the county magistrate over there to transfer the test paper directly."

Tan Su was so moved, "Master Xiang, you are so capable! Tan Su is willing to stand on the saddle for Master Xiang, and he will die!"

Ning Zimo smiled, and rubbed his fingers at the corner of his clothes. For the first time, he felt uneasy about her compliments, but he couldn't explain why. He seemed to mention it unintentionally, "Susu, where did you go today?"

Tan Su blinked, "I went to find Yin Sheng, didn't the Prime Minister say that I can go out with my friends?"

Ning Zimo's fingers stopped, pondering her words over and over again, with a sharp look hidden between his brows, "Yin Sheng...you were called Young Master Yin a few days ago, why did you change your mouth?"

"It's this kind of Xiangye. He introduced me to the young master today. He didn't treat me as an outsider. He always felt that calling me young master Yin was too alien, so he changed his name."

Ning Zimo didn't speak, but just put away the memorial on the table, and slowly got up, "It's only four months before the exam, so don't run around now, just stay in the mansion and read the books for two months with peace of mind."

Tan Su was stunned for a moment, and said hastily: "I would like to follow the orders of the Prime Minister!"
