After rebirth, the down-and-out beauty took the crazy batch of scripts

Chapter 30 Banquet
Tiansheng Emperor's health is not very good recently, and he is also aging very badly. This time, the No. [-] Scholar Banquet was specially prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and it was even grander than before, just to please His Majesty.

"Today, the carp leaped over the dragon's gate. I am very relieved. You did a good job, fourth son. Let all the gentlemen toast with me." The Tiansheng Emperor's face was full of smiles. Good news.

All the ministers toasted and drank together, and Bailixi's wine glass had long been replaced with plum soup, which was sour and sweet and very appetizing.

"Invite the new science disciples to the banquet." The eunuch rolled his name at the top of his voice, and the new science disciples filed in, a total of thirty, more than in previous years.

Emperor Tiansheng looked at the thirty students with a smile on his face. These people are the hope of Tiansheng in the future. No one knows whether there will be a minister among them. "Where are the top three?"

The champion, the second place, and Tanhua came out. The three of them were different from other students. They were wearing red robes, and the sides of the crown were covered with seasonal flowers, which made them look like angry horses in fresh clothes.

"Not bad, not bad." Emperor Tiansheng glanced at the queen, then at the concubine Xian, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, I'm a bit eager for skills. I don't know if I can be the number one scholar?"

In all dynasties, there has been a tradition that it is difficult to be the number one scholar at the number one scholar banquet, and it is not against the rules for Baili Xi to do so.

"Zhuangyuanlang, do you dare to accept An Ding's challenge?"

Zhuangyuan Lang saluted Bailixi, he never put women in his eyes, in his cognition, women should be as illiterate as his wife, and take care of the family wholeheartedly, instead of showing their faces to Bailixi , and said in an extremely disdainful tone: "Princess please."

"This princess has a big belly and it's not easy to move, why don't I ask my princess' servant to make things difficult for me."

Everyone in Jiankang knew that Bailixi had a child out of wedlock, but no one dared to make irresponsible remarks. No one knew that the child in Bailixi's belly was the god-killer.

"My servant, Lin Qingheng, is the servant of Her Highness the Princess, and I dare to ask the champion for advice." Lin Qingheng was the person Bailixi rescued at Caishikou that day.

"A mere boy dares to challenge this champion, and you deserve it." Before the champion could finish speaking, Bai Lixi's eyes had already swept over him, and he could only silently swallow what he wanted to say, "Please. "

Lin Qingheng asked three questions in a row, Zhuangyuan Lang seemed to be dumb, unable to answer any of them, cold sweat broke out on his head, and his back was soaked.

"Can't you answer all these questions? This is the answer on Zhuangyuanlang's paper." After mocking Zhuangyuanlang, Lin Qingheng took out a pleading paper from his sleeve, turned and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Cao Min wants to sue first, the new champion Stealing the answer sheets of grassroots people will ruin the name of grassroots people."

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials in the whole court took a breath, even the fourth prince was no exception. The queen, who had been lacking in interest since the prince fell ill, also regained her spirits.

The backs of the courtiers who participated in the fraudulent imperial examinations were soaked, and the courtiers who did not participate grabbed the melon seeds on the table and knocked them, ready to watch the show at any time.

"Bold Lin Qingheng, dare to come to the champion banquet to make trouble, come here, delay and kill."

Before Tianshengdi could speak, the fourth prince was already jumping in a hurry.He promised the big families to exchange their support with Jinshi and ranks. It's already at this time, but there can't be any chaos.

"The grassroots did not cause trouble, and it is clearly written on the pleadings. I beg your majesty to give justice to the grassroots and the students in the world. If your majesty still doesn't believe it, you can recall all the students and take the exam again."

"Okay, it's up to you, recall all the students, and reopen the imperial examination. This time, I will personally invigilate the exam." Students are the foundation of a country, and this is no small matter. Tianshengdi will do it himself.

After getting the good news of the resumption of the imperial examination, the queen didn't care about the etiquette, and came to the East Palace excitedly. She wanted to tell the good news to the prince, and maybe his illness would be cured.

Once entering the gate of the Eastern Palace, there was no light at all, the gate was closed tightly, and the maids and eunuchs were standing far away outside the bedroom, no one dared to step forward.

After staying in the palace for so many years, the queen probably guessed something, and ordered the palace staff to force open the door of the bedroom.

"Palm the lamp!"

The sudden light frightened Li Xuanyue to lie in the arms of the prince, and under her was the pale-faced His Royal Highness the prince.

Seeing that the queen was coming, the prince hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover the bodies of the two of them, and saluted embarrassingly, "Mother, why is the queen mother free?" Shouldn't it be at the No. [-] Scholar banquet at this time?The prince did not dare to say the latter words, he was afraid that the empress would know that their actions were intentional.

"Are they all dead people! You haven't helped the prince down to change clothes yet."

The empress is the lord of the six palaces, who would dare not listen to her words, two young eunuchs stepped forward and took the prince away, leaving Li Xuanyue with a helpless face.

An old nanny stepped forward and grabbed Li Xuanyue's hair, and pulled her out of the quilt, regardless of whether anyone was present or whether Li Xuanyue's clothes were tidy.

The little eunuchs behind him all looked red-eyed, subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and turned around.

Li Xuanyue rolled up her collar, and asked rather displeased: "What is the mother doing?"

Snapped--

The applause was crisp and sweet, and Li Xuanyue fell to the ground, with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. She was not a fool, and immediately softened her temper and explained:

"The queen mother and the sons and servants are all for the mother's sake. The imperial doctor has said that the prince's health is seriously deficient. It's not easy to say, but he is hanging on his life. Now that the fourth prince is favored, the father will make him the prince sooner or later. It is better to follow the example of the Ming Dynasty, where the courtiers and concubines gave birth to the emperor's grandson in time."

It was fine if she didn't say that, but when she said it, the queen became even more angry, grabbed her by the hair and beat her like a street shrew, after all, no one likes to hear bad things about their son.

Li Xuanyue was about to be beaten to death by her, and she crawled towards the Prince's direction, shouting as she ran, "Erlang save my concubine, save my concubine—"

The prince broke free from the shackles of the little eunuch, and tried to pull the empress away, but he used too much strength, the empress staggered two steps, hit the back of her head on the candlestick, and immediately lost her breath.

"Mother, mother queen." Stretched out a finger to detect the queen's breath, she was already out of breath, and the prince was so frightened that he fell to the ground, "Xuanxuan, mother mother, she, she is out of breath."

The entire East Palace was in chaos, and Li Xuanyue was also afraid, but she quickly calmed down and took the prince's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, "Erlang, can you feel it? I'm happy, it's your son."

The prince obviously calmed down a lot, and gently stroked Li Xuanyue's lower abdomen with his big hands, as if he had made up his mind, "Xuanxuan, don't worry, I will definitely let you and your son get well."

The queen's death was a certainty, and the prince was not a prince for nothing all these years. He immediately silenced everyone present and cleaned the scene with his own hands.
