Chapter 400

They looked at Zhang Huayue, who had an ugly face beside him.

Mr. Zhang is the most loyal courtier to the Queen in Taifeng Kingdom. Although he is taciturn, he is serious in doing things, and he is rigid and upright. He is completely different from those who are in the officialdom.

But now...how could Mr. Zhang slander Mr. Li for favoritism and fraud, and cover up those five people?
Then what kind of grievances and enmity did the two of them have before?

Li Qing listened to Aunt Jiang's words and nodded in satisfaction. She looked smug, and she spread her hands openly, with a clear conscience: "I can learn from my loyalty to the queen. Over the years, the queen has passed the imperial examinations. If such a heavy responsibility is entrusted to me, I will live up to the Queen's entrustment, and I will wholeheartedly complete the tasks entrusted by the Queen."

"The minister knows how much the imperial examination will affect our country, and how could he do such a thing that is not good for our country!" Li Qing spoke with confidence, and his resentful tone seemed to be complaining about Zhang Huayue's indiscriminate slander She does.

The queen on the dragon chair just pursed her lips, and said in a solemn and calm voice: "Since it was a misunderstanding, I will certainly uphold justice for you."

The empress lifted her chin slightly, and said to Zhang Huayue, "Zhang Huayue, show me the exam paper."

Zhang Huayue did not speak, walked up in silence, and handed the examination paper in her hand to the palace servants beside her.The palace man took the examination paper, bent down, walked up with his head down, and presented it to the queen.

The queen raised her hand, casually picked up an examination paper and glanced at it.

"It's indeed a good article, and it's not bad." The Queen commented pertinently.

She handed the examination paper back to the palace servant beside her. She held back the sleeves of her bright red dragon robe, glanced over, and looked at Zhang Huayue calmly, "Zhang Aiqing, what else do you want to say?"

Zhang Huayue's face was gloomy and unhappy, but she knew that she had been careless, so she gritted her teeth: "I have nothing to say. I only know that the exam papers of the five people were all read by me, and that when they took the exam in the examination room , Wei Chen was also watching from the side. When Wei Chen reviewed the exam papers, the content on the exam papers was not like this. But now the exam papers have changed, although Wei Chen suspects that someone has changed the exam papers, Wei Chen has no evidence."

The imitation of the handwriting on it was so vivid that for a while, even Zhang Huayue himself mistook it for his own handwriting.

The empress looked at Zhang Huayue, "Since this is the case, then I will punish you to deduct half a year's salary, are you convinced?"

Hearing this, Li Qing was stunned.

She looked at the empress in disbelief, and then... just fined her salary for half a year?

Zhang Huayue originally thought that she would be severely punished, but she didn't expect it to be a simple half-year salary, and she was a little shocked immediately.

She and the queen on the dragon chair above looked at each other with lowered eyes. Zhang Huayue understood the queen's meaning at a glance, and was very grateful in her heart.

Zhang Huayue cupped her hands and was about to respond when a lazy voice came over.

"Wait a minute."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and looked back suspiciously at the girl in the noble purple court dress standing there tall and straight. Looking at the girl's lazy and delicate eyebrows, everyone couldn't help but sigh again in their hearts.

Although Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is a flirtatious, ignorant, and an idiot, I have to say that her appearance is really incomparably beautiful.

Zhang Huayue turned around in doubt when she heard Aunt Jiang's voice.

Li Qing was already dissatisfied with Zhang Huayue's punishment in his heart, but now that Aunt Jiang came forward to stop him, Li Qing was even more unhappy in his heart.
