The queen is fierce and cute

Chapter 140 Selection Day

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, the court will recruit many young talents this year!"

It was already noon, after lunch, everyone followed the emperor and came to the examination room again.

Candidates who came to participate in the civil and military selection continued to participate in the literary test after lunch.

The assessment will last for a few days. After the literary test is completely over, they will conduct the military test. After that, they will compare it with those in the other two examination rooms.

Everyone could see that the emperor was very interested, and he was very happy to see many people coming to participate in the selection.

You must know that those who can participate in the final selection are all talents who have passed the selection at various levels. Even if they can't all stay in the end, what makes the monarch happier than a country full of talents?
"Hahaha, all of this is due to Xun Aiqing's contribution. If he hadn't brought up this matter at the court meeting, I would never have thought of it!"

Hearing the ministers talking to each other, the emperor became even more interested, and called Mr. Xun to come to him, and gave him a reward and promotion in front of everyone.

Master Xun was rewarded and promoted again, so he was naturally happy, and all the ministers complimented me again and again.

Several princes accompanied the emperor. They stood on a high place, overlooking the candidates who came to the selection, with different expressions on their faces.

"Seventh brother, do you think that the first person selected this year may become a son-in-law?"

The Ninth Prince suddenly spoke and asked Pei Junyi who was sitting on the four-wheeled cart.

He turned to look at the Ninth Prince, the expression on his face was the same as usual, as if he was just asking casually.

"Whether you can become a son-in-law depends on who wins the first prize, and whether you can be favored by the father and Aunt Yao? After that, Xiao Wu has to be willing."

The emperor dotes on the fifth princess and wants to choose a son-in-law for her personally, but he also promised her that even if he chooses, he will let her see him in person.

If she is not satisfied, she will continue to choose, and she will definitely not force her.

When Pei Junyi said this, the Ninth Prince smiled, "Seventh Brother said, Fifth Sister is 16 years old this year, so it's time to choose carefully."

"In my opinion, we still have to choose from aristocratic families. What are these ordinary people to see? Find someone from a noble family, and maybe they can help Eleven!"

The eighth prince's voice suddenly broke in, and Pei Junyi turned to look at him with the ninth prince.

Pei Junyi's expression was cold, the Ninth Prince was so angry at the Eighth Prince, Eleven clenched his fists, trying to teach him a lesson.

The princes were all near the emperor, and even though their voices were not loud, the emperor could hear them clearly.

"Old Ba, if you can't control your mouth, hurry up and send you to the border gate to stay for a while, so you can learn the rules."

The emperor's voice was not loud, but it instantly made the eighth prince shrink his neck.

He didn't want to go to the border at all, the rules in the barracks were definitely not something he could stand.

"Father, please calm down." Anyway, the eighth prince and his mother were siblings, and the ninth prince saluted the emperor and pleaded with the eighth prince.

When the Ninth Prince spoke, although the Emperor was very unhappy, he still gave the Ninth Prince face.

Everything was seen by the ministers, and some exchanged glances with each other, with a tacit understanding that they all understood.

In the evening, the emperor got up and went back to the palace, and the ministers knelt down to send the emperor away. After the emperor and the princes had left, they gathered together on weekdays and discussed while walking.

"The emperor has always loved the fifth princess. The eighth prince violated the emperor's taboo, but because of the ninth prince's words, he forgave the eighth prince. Does this mean that the ninth prince is the prince?"

"You can't say that, maybe it's because of Concubine Tian Gui's face. After all, the Eighth Prince is born of Concubine Tian Gui, and the Emperor loves Concubine Tian very much."

"It's too early to draw conclusions now, everyone should take another look, don't stand in line too early."
