The guest presenting the first prize is Eunuch Wang, the chief eunuch of the Ceremony Supervisor!
You must know that the first prize has a huge bonus! As for 100 taels of silver, 100 taels of silver is a huge sum of money these years. I heard that after the awards ceremony, you can wear a high hat with flowers in it and parade through the streets, and then you can go to the palace for a banquet!This is not just a matter of the emperor asking them to eat, but that the treatment is almost the same as Jinshi!How can you not be excited?
In fact, the emperor himself was mingling with the crowd at this time, watching the ceremony vigorously, but the emperor always needs to maintain a sense of mystery and sacredness, and the dragon face cannot be easily shown to others, so this matter is done by Wang Gonggong as an angel .

None of the 24 winners has a reputation, twelve accountants and shopkeepers, eleven government officials, and the third child of the old Zhang family in Scissors Alley.

When Zhang Xiaosan came to the stage to accept the award, Song Qingyue kept applauding him from below. This is a young genius cultivated by Zhaoyue Primary School!Applause must be given!She not only wanted to applaud him, but also gave him a scholarship!
The emperor gave 100 taels, and she wanted to give another 100 taels!

There is also the only Miao Miao Tan lady who was a girl just now, and she also gave 100 taels of "Girl Encouragement Scholarship".Of course, Miss Tan's family has a big business and is not short of money. This money is rewarded to all the girls in the world, which is of great significance.

The awards ceremony ended successfully at noon, and Song Qingyue didn't attend the bustling street parade and the emperor's banquet afterwards. It was really because of the half-night tossing last night that made her back ache this morning, and she was too tired!

Originally, at the end of the awards ceremony, the group of maids, internal eunuchs, and officials from the Ministry of Rituals who helped prepare for the ceremony were to be taken to Liuquanju to hold a celebration banquet, but Song Qingyue couldn't bear it any longer, and yawned continuously as soon as she got on the carriage, making her Mo Zhu takes everyone to Liuquan residence instead of himself, while he lazily returns home to catch up on sleep.

Qiandi, the servants on the East Road were all frightened by the killing in the morning.

Among the slaves who were killed, besides the people who cleaned the yard and tended the flowers and plants on the East Road and Middle Road, there were also Liang Liangyuan's nurse and Liangyuan's dowry maid!They were all mercilessly ordered to be killed by His Highness.

A few Mos in Wufangzhai had seen the cane punishment once, that is, the time Song Qingyue almost killed Concubine Sun at the previous birthday banquet, and also disabled a group of servants.

It was the first time seeing Dongping, Xiaozao, Mianmian, Susu, and Xiaoyuan, and they all cried out of fright.In the end, Xiaozao, who was helping the cook in the kitchen, was the first to calm down after seeing a lot of slaughtering pigs and sheep, and took a few sisters to the kitchen to make a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus root powder soup, which shocked everyone.

Dongping ate the sweet soup and said, "I've seen that Liang Liangyuan dishonest for a long time, but I didn't expect to dare to prescribe medicine to His Highness."

Mian Mian said: "How can you succeed if you don't take the medicine? If His Highness is awake, he won't even look at her at all!"

Xiaozao shook her head, turned around and saw the two dim sum cooks from Jinling who were still busy, so she leaned over and asked, "Are you entrusting the two of you to make dim sum from West Road?"

The two cooks also went to observe the torture in the morning, and they were terrified. They will find something to do now, just to distract them.

"Not four!" The cook still spoke with Wu Di's accent, "The concubines in the west are talking too much, so the dim sum on the East Road of Omen is very good. I have been cooking it for a while, and I guess it will come out in the morning. It scared them, and they haven’t come to get it until now.”

"It just so happens that I'm free this morning, I'll send it over later." Xiaozao said proactively.

~
Liang Tongyue cried hard all morning in panic, but crying was useless, she had to face the reality after all, and heard that the princess had finally returned home.She immediately loosened her hair, put on a plain dress, ran to Wufangzhai Gate and knelt down straight.

Although it is already August, the temperature is still very high, especially when the sun is shining at noon.The weather was dry again, and Liang Tongyue's fair face turned red after a short while.

Xiaozao came back from delivering snacks on the West Road, and just ran into Liangyuan who was kneeling at the gate of Wufang Zhaiyuan.

She glanced at her in disgust, but thinking of the gossip she heard from Xilu, she couldn't help but feel worried again.

Seeing Bai Momo, he said: "Mom, it's not good to go on like this? What if I faint?"

Bai Momo snorted: "If she loves to kneel, let her kneel! It's not our princess who made her kneel!"

Xiao Zao said: "Yes, our mother has never punished anyone to kneel, but others would not say that! If this matter gets to the ears of the two ladies in the palace, I don't know how to make it up! I just went West Road turned around, and sure enough, she was gossiping again, what to say..." She was a little reluctant to say.

"What did you say?"

"She said that our concubine's heart is vicious, and that if it wasn't for our concubine's jealousy to occupy His Highness all the time, Liang Yuan wouldn't have made such a bad move to prescribe His Highness!"

"A bunch of little bastards!" Nanny Bai scolded.

"It's the tongues chewed by the nuns on West Road." Xiaozao corrected.

"That's the old bastard!" Bai Momo got angry with her hands on her hips.

Xiao Zao said: "Why don't I go in and ask the concubine what she means, and always ask the two empresses in the palace to say that our empress is not good, and it is not very good!"

"What happened last night... Your Majesty just fell asleep." Nanny Bai didn't want to disturb Song Qingyue's rest, but it would be better to ask her about it before dealing with it, so she sighed and nodded in agreement.

This is the advantage of a master with a good temper, and the servants dare to say anything.Although Song Qingyue fell asleep, she didn't fall into a deep sleep. She could smell the sweet soup as soon as Xiaozao entered the room.

"What delicious food did you cook today?" Song Qingyue asked lazily.

"Osmanthus, lotus root powder and sugar taro seedlings are your favorite food." Xiaozao said, "You didn't have lunch, so you should eat something to rest your stomach before going to bed. Last night was really hard."

Song Qingyue blushed for a moment, and asked Mo Mei to open the curtain.

Xiao Zao handed the sweet soup to the princess, and said, "Liang Liangyuan is kneeling outside."

Song Qingyue didn't pause while biting the tender taro seedlings, and said casually: "Drive her away."

"I'm afraid that when the mothers-in-law leave, that Liang Liangyuan will cry again, calling your cousin and selling herself miserably. I can see that your cousin is really a shameful one!" Xiao Zao said loudly. Courage said.

Mo Mei was amused by her words, but she agreed with Xiaozao's words: "Princess, you have to be careful about that Liang Yuan, the Liang family is not a vegetarian, Mr. Liang has been in the official department for so long, and has a wide network of contacts. If Mrs. Liang intends to speak ill of you, you have nothing to reason with! This villain can only come down to do it!"

Song Qingyue looked at Mo Mei in surprise for a moment, and realized that she was surrounded by talented people!
The villain told Li Zhao to do it, and she just had to be a virtuous and kind princess.Song Qingyue made up her mind, got out of bed, put on a coat, ran to the gate of the courtyard with a group of maids, and shouted: "What are you doing, sister?!"

Liang Tongyue didn't expect Song Qingyue to come out so soon, she looked up at her in shock, and soon cried out with tears in her eyes: "Cousin! A Yue knew it wrong! A Yue was wrong! Cousin! A Yue... Ah Yue just missed His Highness too much..."""

"Hey! You say you!" Song Qingyue suddenly reached out and poked Liang Tongyue's temples forcefully, "If you want to serve His Highness and sister, I just say it! My sister will definitely persuade His Highness not to pester me wholeheartedly. So that the sisters can share the burden. Stop kneeling, come in quickly, and wait for His Highness to calm down before I go to intercede."

He couldn't help but grab Liang Tongyue's wrist, trying to pull her up from the ground, but the rough envoys on both sides lifted her up and carried her into the courtyard.

Carrying people into the courtyard, Song Qingyue shook off her hand as soon as the courtyard door was closed, and looked at Liang Tongyue, who was extremely astonished, and told the maids: "Find a place for this good sister, my princess, to rest. If you want to kneel down, wait." Your Highness will come back and talk about it."

"cousin!"

Snapped!
Liang Tongyue just opened her mouth to scream, but was slapped mercilessly by Song Qingyue.

The servants in the yard were all frightened by the sudden slap from the princess.

This seemed to be the first time Song Qingyue hit someone.

These days, ladies and gentlemen are not in the mood to do it themselves, and if they want to be rough, they will let the subordinates do it.

But Song Qingyue really couldn't hold back, when she heard that "cousin", she felt sick!

She pointed at Liang Tongyue's nose with her index finger, and said coldly: "From now on, don't call me cousin again. If you let me hear it again, I will beat you every time I hear it!"

Liang Tongyue covered her face and looked at Song Qingyue in shock and anger, then suddenly burst out laughing, and said sarcastically, "Why, the concubine can't pretend to be virtuous anymore? So you're in a hurry? Don't let me call my cousin , Okay, you go back to the Song family and let Master Song change you back to the status of a concubine! You took advantage of my aunt, how can you take care of the cousin of the Liang family? Don’t forget, Mrs. Song has already resigned. I'm an official. Ma'am, have you discussed with my uncle about the replacement candidate?"

Liang Tongyue was very proud.

"Your Majesty, my grandfather is a good candidate for your Majesty." After Liang Tongyue finished speaking, she raised her chin and smiled.

Looking up, she only saw Song Qingyue's contemptuous and pitiful eyes.

"Your Highness has already known the candidate for succession. Besides, the second minister of the cabinet, the most important minister of the country, how could His Highness make a biased decision just because he dotes on a woman in the backyard? You underestimate Your Highness, and you underestimate His Majesty too!"

Liang Tongyue was ashamed and indignant at what she said with boldness and style.

Song Qingyue didn't want to look at her again, so she asked her mother-in-law to drag her into the empty room and lock her up until Li Zhao came back to deal with it.
