King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 262: pampered

  Chapter 262 Pampered

  I saw these words written on the third test paper:

  The country is picturesque, the handsome man is enchanting, he takes off his clothes and goes to bed.

  Jun Li put the test paper aside silently, and Master Ye who was at the side noticed her expression, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" As he spoke, he glanced at the test paper that Jun Li had just put down.

  Jun Li twitched the corner of his mouth, but he didn't stop it. Since she wanted to watch it, let's watch it.

Seeing that Jun Li didn't show any expression, Master Ye directly pulled out Ruan Bao's exam paper from the side, and after only one glance, Master Ye's expression froze, he slowly put down the exam paper in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's still written. It rhymes." As she spoke, she kept fanning the cool breeze with a folding fan.

   "There are two more." Jun Li smiled and took out the other two test papers, and put them in Master Ye's hands.

  Master Ye looked down, and what caught his eyes was the so-called plan on how to govern the refugees written by Ruan Bao.

  Master Ye silently picked up the next exam paper. After seeing the content on it, he froze, and stopped shaking the folding fan involuntarily.

  The hall is full of ugly girls, it makes me sick to my stomach...

Master Ye kept thinking about this sentence, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ruan Bao, wait, I will never make it easier for you!" He shook hands, and the joints of both hands creaked There was a creaking sound.

Apart from spit out a few foul words from time to time in private, Master Ye is also very narcissistic. He thinks that no one in the entire court except Junli can match her appearance, so he often drags some young ministers out of the court play. In fact, it was to let those few ordinary-looking ministers serve as a foil for her. Junli only found out about this some time ago.

  Sima Lian was attracted by Lord Ye's movement, cast a glance here, turned his head, and remained motionless.

  Comparing the two, Junli had to admit that Sima Lian, the veteran of the three dynasties, was not for nothing, but calmer than Lord Ye.

In fact, what Jun Li didn't know was that Sima Lian's old eyes were so dim that he couldn't see clearly the contents of the exam papers Master Ye was holding. that curiosity.

  The corners of Junli's lips curled up slightly, and he continued to pick up the next test paper.

  This exam paper was written by a person named Qian Youshan. The plan is all average, but compared to Ruan Bao’s just now, I don’t know how many times better.

  Putting Qian Youshan aside, the next few people wrote very general, nothing new, which gave Junli a headache.

  Jun Li picked up the test paper of the last person and looked at the name, it turned out to be Bai Heng's.

   Now Zi Junli became interested, opened Bai Heng's examination paper, and saw that what was written on it was not worse than Bian Hongxia's, which made Junli smile involuntarily.

  Bai Heng was interested in Yun Jin from the very beginning, and when they met a few days ago, Yun Jin obviously also had a crush on Bai Heng. But Yun Jin is the younger brother she recognizes, and one day his name will be included in the royal archives. At that time, Yun Jin will be a noble prince, and Bai Heng is just a poor scholar. Although she doesn't mind the concept of family status, But when the time comes, the ministers in the DPRK will inevitably chatter and object for a while. In this case, it is better to let Bai Heng make some achievements, and the difference in identity from Yun Jin in the future is not too big. At that time, they can get married and it will be a matter of course.

   "Your Majesty, this Bai Heng is indeed a malleable talent." Ye Daren kept looking towards Junli, and seeing Junli's eyes showing approval, he quickly glanced at the name, and said hurriedly.

   As he said that, he still didn't forget to stare fiercely at Ruan Bao, who was biting his writing brush not far away in the field, and looked up at the boring God.

   I have to find a chance to deal with her later, otherwise there will be no chance once the scientific examination is over.

   Ruan Bao, who was looking at the sky bored, suddenly trembled, and the writing brush he was biting in his mouth fell from his mouth. In a hurry, Ruan Bao quickly picked it up with his hands. But he didn't want the brush to catch it, so he slapped the brush upwards and landed directly on her face.

  Ruan Bao was stunned, the brush slowly slipped down her face, leaving a long ink mark on her face.

   Seeing this, Lord Ye laughed gloatingly.

  Jun Li shook his head, but fortunately Master Ye turned around and laughed softly, otherwise people would listen to him and accept the baptism of the eyes of many scholars below.

  Ruan Bao wiped the ink marks on his face with his sleeve, but he didn't want to wipe more and more, and finally his face was covered with ink marks.

  Master Ye just turned around and saw such a scene, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed no matter what.

  Junli helped Ruan Bao's forehead, and ordered Eunuch Yu to fetch water for Ruan Bao to wash, otherwise, with this appearance, people would say that she was stingy, even unwilling to use a basin of water.

  Jun Li put down Bai Heng's examination paper in his hand, and lay down on the reclining chair very lazily, with light veils flying around her, which relieved her depressed mood due to the weather.

   "Your Majesty, do you need this old slave to get a bowl of shaved ice?" Eunuch Yu hurriedly ran to Junli's side after finishing Ruan Bao's matter, and seeing that the sun had almost risen to the sky, he couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

  After the words fell, Lord Ye's eyes lit up, he swallowed his saliva in disappointment, and looked at Junli in the veil eagerly.

  The watermelon shaved ice I ate the day before yesterday was simply a must-have item for such a day. It was delicious and cold, and it made people want to eat it again.

  Hearing this, even Sima Lian couldn't help turning around, staring straight at Junli without blinking.

  Junli is ashamed. It seems that the ancients' food was really too simple. A watermelon shaved ice is so greedy. If it is in modern times, they will not make them crazy.

Now Junli has forgotten that in ancient times, transportation was not well developed, and transporting things had to be done quickly. Sometimes when they arrived at the destination, the fruits were broken or rotten, and they could not be preserved at all, so it was difficult to eat fruits in ancient times, unless You go to towns that specialize in growing fruits, but generally no one will do this, because most of the places where fruits are grown are in remote areas. I don't know if I can live comfortably in that remote place, so why would I be willing to run there just for a little fruit.

  So fruits are very precious things in the capital, including the entire Dalu, such as watermelon and lychees, and only the royal family has such a big deal. They are transported by Maxima and kept in ice cubes along the way.

  But there are not many watermelons shipped to the capital every year. Sometimes one is given to ministers who have made great contributions, one is given to favorite male concubines, one is used to entertain ministers, and there are not many left in the royal family. So for Lord Ye and Sima Lian, the delicious food is not shaved ice, but watermelon.
