King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 265: burn me

  Chapter 265 If you want to burn, burn me

  Calmly put down the painting, Jun Li felt that such a painting must be returned to Ruan Bao.

   But before she could say anything, Eunuch Yu on the side spoke first, and said to Ruan Bao, "Bold, you dare to openly make such obscene paintings, are you guilty?"

  Hearing this, Ruan Bao got up from the ground, because he just went to grab the examination paper in Master Ye's hand, but Master Ye dodged it, so Ruan Bao was sadly urged, and directly threw himself on the ground.

   "Is it a crime or not, and I didn't let you see it." She muttered, but luckily she still remembered where she was now, and she bowed her head in silence after saying this.

  Although Eunuch Yu is middle-aged, his ears are very sensitive, and he heard just such a low voice.

   "You..." Eunuch Yu was full of anger and was defeated.

  Turning around, looking at Jun Li said, "Your Majesty, this person is too unreasonable and arrogant, and he should be severely punished."

  Jun Li thought for a while, then nodded, "It should be punished heavily, what are you treating the scientific examination for, is it a joke?"

  Hearing this, Lord Ye used a folding fan to gently cover up the smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Ruan Bao gloatingly, as if he had already seen the appearance of her imminent disaster.

  Ruan Bao didn't feel nervous at all, he just stared at the test paper closely, "Punish it as you like, just return the beautiful boy to me."

  The corners of Jun Li's mouth twitched, a few black lines slid down his forehead, and he had nothing to say to Ruan Bao.

Master Ye gave Ruan Bao a hard look, and he courted Junli, "Your Majesty, how are you going to punish her?" This is what Master Ye is most concerned about, who would offend Ruan Bao's words about ugly women? It's her.

  Jun Li frowned, it was really difficult to deal with such a person who is not afraid of punishment, but if the target is Ruan Bao, then it is easy to say.

   "Punishment, burn this painting, and confiscate all Ruan Bao's pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Within one year, no one is allowed to sell Ruan Bao or lend her pens and inks. Once found, he will be executed immediately."

  Hearing this, Ruan Bao's eyes widened, watching Eunuch Yu take out the fire folder and burn the examination papers bit by bit, with a heartache on his face.

   "Your Majesty, don't burn the painting, burn me if you want." Ruan Bao cried bitterly, looking at the half-burned examination paper, he rushed towards Eunuch Yu with heartache.

  Eunuch Yu's body was also sensitive, and he dodged aside to avoid Ruan Bao's sudden attack.

  Ruan Bao's attack failed, and this time he didn't fall to the ground, but hurriedly stabilized his body, and moved towards Eunuch Yu. To be precise, it was the unfinished examination paper in Eunuch Yu's hand.

   "Presumptuous!" Sima Lian stood up abruptly, looked at Ruan Bao and shouted, "Come here! Take Ruan Bao down!"

   As soon as the voice fell, more than a dozen guards rushed in from outside, and took Ruan Bao down without any effort.

  Ruan Bao didn't respond, he just looked closely at the nearly burnt examination paper in Eunuch Yu's hand, and wailed, "My beautiful boy!"

  The surrounding scholars were already overwhelmed by this sudden situation. At this time, hearing Ruan Bao's wailing, they couldn't help but retreat a few meters away from her surroundings.

  Eunuch Yu shook the ashes on his sleeves in front of Ruan Bao, snorted coldly at Ruan Bao, and came to Junli's side.

  Junli Fue, this Ruan Bao, can't he not be so troublesome?

   "Drive out, and you will not be allowed to take the scientific examination within five years." The scientific examination in this era is not once every three years, but once a year.

  According to what Ruan Bao did, it would not be an exaggeration to execute her directly. Junli just prevented her from participating in the scientific examination for five years. In the eyes of others, this is absolutely benevolent.

   But Junli knew that after five years, Ruan Bao would not come to take the scientific examination again.

   Several guards escorted Ruan Bao out, and one of the guards picked up Ruan Bao's bookcase and followed him out.

   A farce, and it ended like this.

  Jun Li sighed lightly, and a faint voice came out of the light gauze, "Hurry up and collect the test papers."

   Soon, the test papers were collected by various inspectors and piled up together, which was definitely a terrifying height.

  Master Ye twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that it was a great fortune not to have the task of marking so many examination papers fall on his head.

  Jun Li glanced at Sima Lian, and motioned for her to call the people she mentioned just now, except Ruan Bao.

  Si Ma Lian nodded, and ordered several inspectors to bring him here. After all, they are all in different positions. Sima Lian is already old, and it is not easy to run here and there.

   After a while, Cheng Linlang and the others were brought up by the inspectors, and stood outside the light gauze, respectfully.

  When the other scholars saw this, they whispered to each other. They each had different guesses, but they all thought that Junli admired their talents very much, so they summoned them after the scientific examination was over.

  Liu Yuan walked towards Han Ye. The two of them were not far away. Now that the scientific examination is over, they can naturally move around as they please.

"I've heard of Du Rulan before. She doesn't show any color, doesn't take oil or salt, and never hides what she thinks in her heart. I heard that she wrote a few words to scold His Majesty at the bottom of the test paper. I don't know His Majesty. Why did you call her?"

  Liu Yuan was puzzled, but also slightly disappointed in his heart.

  Du Rulan was summoned there probably because he insulted His Majesty, but she had seen the talents of Cheng Linlang and the others before. Being summoned by His Majesty was definitely not to reprimand them, but most likely to admire them.

  Thinking of this, Liu Yuan's eyes dimmed. He used to have great confidence in himself, but now his confidence has been shattered.

  She was not among the people summoned, that is to say, her examination papers were not yet in the eyes of His Majesty.

  Liu Yuan showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Han Ye and found that her face was expressionless. He couldn't help wondering, "Brother Han, aren't you worried?"

  Han Ye naturally knew what she was talking about, and said, "Those who are summoned are not necessarily the best, and those who are not summoned are not necessarily bad. I have confidence in myself."

   As he spoke, Han Ye patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder, "Believe in yourself." After speaking, he carried his bookcase on his back and walked out of the examination room.

   Liu Yuan stood where he was, thinking about what Han Ye said just now, as if he suddenly woke up, with a smile on his lips, picked up the bookcase, and walked towards Han Ye who had gone far away.

  Junli in the light gauze saw this, a smile appeared on his face.

  Ever since he summoned Cheng Linlang and the others, Jun Li has been observing Han Ye's expression.

  Jun Li could hear her conversation with Liu Yuan just now. It was because he could hear him that his appreciation for Han Ye deepened.

   This is also the reason why she didn't summon Han Ye and the others just now, mainly because she wanted to see the reaction of Han Ye and the others. Unfortunately, Bai Heng was not around, so she couldn't see her reaction.

   Fortunately, Han Ye's performance did not disappoint her. Even Liu Yuan, who was a little disappointed at first, became confident again because of her words, which made Junli nod involuntarily, and secretly gave Han Ye a thumbs up.
