queen drama

Chapter 23

The emperor wants to read the script, can Lord Meng Xiaohou refuse?

No, because the emperor has already looked at his hand.

With that serious expression, it seemed that the other hand that made the young master feel distracted and rubbed on his waist from time to time did not exist.

Young Master Hou read a page of the book for a long time, but he couldn't turn it over and was about to give up.And the emperor said that he wanted to read the storybook, but he didn't care about the storybook.

"Your Majesty, Prince Shen's son is asking to see you."

Wang Yongshun came to report with a bitter face.He was very angry that Zhao Jun always came at the wrong time. This really wronged Zhao Jun. In the early court, the two factions fought too fiercely for the queen candidate, and the emperor "had no intention" to deal with other government affairs. But Zhao Zheng was in a great mood and walked quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, so Zhao Jun had no choice but to run back to Funing Hall, staring at Wang Xia and his father-in-law's white eyes to try his luck.

Zhao Zheng knew that this was the second time to ask for an audience, and it should be a very important matter, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Call him over."

As it was related to government affairs, Lord Meng Xiaohou consciously wanted to avoid it, but Zhao Zheng took him by the hand and asked him to stay.

The little marquis couldn't help it, so he stood up from the dragon's legs instead, Zhao Zheng still held him tightly, not letting him move, and handed him the scripture book.

What is the emperor going to do? ?

Prince Shen's son is the eldest brother of the emperor, so no matter how little Houye himself doesn't care about his reputation, he will still feel embarrassed in front of his eldest brother.

Zhao Zheng said nonchalantly: "Before... when he was in the palace, he and the princess had a good relationship."

The little marquis was stunned, only to realize that the "he" Zhao Zheng was talking about was Zhao Jun, Prince Shen's son. He wondered if this person was envious of his elder brother and sister-in-law, and deliberately showing off?

But this also shows that the emperor does not regard himself as an outsider...

The young master coughed lightly, feeling a little sweet in his heart, anyway, it was embarrassing to be with the emperor, so he went up with the emperor.

Zhao Zheng smiled and put his hands on his waist again.

When Zhao Jun arrived, he saw such a strange scene, the emperor was holding a young guard in his arms, and the two were so affectionate as if they were reading a book.

This guard has delicate features and looks familiar.

Zhao Jun was taken aback for a moment, Prince Xiaoyaohou...

He knew that Xiaoyaohou's son had entered the palace as a bodyguard, but he never expected that the emperor would be so close to Lord Meng Xiaohou.

Zhao Zheng didn't have the slightest intention to ask people to get up, Zhao Jun waited for a while, and the young master was probably the emperor's confidant, so Zhao Jun explained his intention.

"The scientific examination is approaching. The emperor asked the minister to pay more attention to the movement of the imperial city. The minister discovered something... Recently, there is a popular examination question in the imperial city. It is said that someone has estimated a few questions according to the habit of the main examiner's previous questions..."

Zhao Zheng's expression became solemn, he took the memorial handed over by Zhao Jun, and his face changed slightly after reading it.

Zhao Jun said: "This question costs 500 taels. Even so, there are still many people who buy it. I feel a little strange."

Zhao Zheng put away the memorial and said, "I already know about it, I will deal with it myself, don't tell others. In addition, you can check again, who is selling the questions, and who bought them."

Zhao Jun complied, and when he took his leave, he glanced at the young master, seeing that the other person's cheeks were reddish, and he just happened to look at him helplessly, Zhao Jun smiled and nodded.

Young Master:! ! !

It's over, he seems to be targeted by his elder brother...

"Your Majesty, Prince Shen's son has left."

Meng Xuanyun gently pushed Zhao Zheng, he had been sitting on the dragon's legs for quite a while, the martial arts practitioner was physically strong, if the emperor couldn't stand it, he should have let him down, but the naughty emperor just now unexpectedly didn't respond.

Zhao Zheng's brows were furrowed, and he was still reading the question, a thin sheet of paper, which he read over and over again many times.

Meng Xuanyun said: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Zheng handed the question to him, which allowed him to look it up. Meng Xuanyun quickly read it silently, and didn't see anything wrong.

Meng Xuanyun said cautiously: "But the emperor doesn't like someone to estimate the problem?"

He used to be in the Imperial Study Room, and heard Zhao Zheng and Prince Jian dispute over the candidate for the examiner. Zhao Zheng had a reason that the examiner did not change for a long time, and it was easy for people to find out the habit of the examiner.That's why the problem estimation came about. In a sense, it was opportunistic, but it wasn't a big mistake.

Zhao Zheng shook his head and said, "If it's just an ordinary assessment question, I won't care. After all, I still agreed to let Yan Wenzheng continue to be the chief examiner. But on this piece of paper, there are indeed three questions for this scientific examination. The words are not bad."

Prince Shen didn't know the questions of this scientific examination, at most he felt that the estimated questions could be sold for 500 taels, and it was strange that there were so many people who bought them, but Zhao Zheng knew that there were genuine exam questions mixed in here, let alone 500 taels. That is, 1000 taels can be sold.

Because the real scientific examination questions were approved by the emperor himself.

Meng Xuanyun: "..."

Estimated questions are like looking for a needle in a haystack. If you can get one of them right, it means your ancestors are smoking. How can you get all three of them right?

There is only one possibility.

The young master dared not say anything: "Your Majesty, you mean that the exam questions were leaked?!"

Zhao Zheng said lightly: "I'm afraid it is. It's just that I don't know who did it."

The scientific examination is coming soon, I am afraid that Prince Shen's son and the hidden guards may not be able to find out immediately.

The little marquis said: "Then the emperor... what do you plan to do?"

Zhao Zheng was thinking about this question just now, and said: "I'm in the palace, I don't know the details, the scientific examination has not yet started, there is still some time, I want... to go and see for myself, and then make plans."

The little duke knew everything, and his voice didn't feel louder: "The emperor wants to take it in a low profile, and investigate it himself?"

"That's it." Zhao Zheng mistakenly thought that he was worried, and comforted him: "I have thought about it, nothing will go wrong, I promise to stay in the imperial city, and I will make arrangements for everything without leaving the imperial city." I will bring guards with high martial arts skills to accompany me..."

The young master's eyes sparkled: "Your majesty, can you take me with you, I am a bodyguard, and I can protect the emperor!"

Zhao Zheng laughed: "You? I want to pretend to be an ordinary scholar. What can you pretend to be like with me?"

The young master counted them all with his fingers: "I can be the emperor's book boy, servant, bodyguard...friends are also fine."

Who is your friend!Zhao Zheng was upset for a moment, and then he had a thought, and said: "I don't lack all these, but I only lack a daughter-in-law who grinds ink during the day and warms the bed at night. Are you right?"

The young master's face was flushed red, and he held on to the sleeve of the dragon robe tightly, fearing that such a good job would be snatched away, he said anxiously: "Damn it!"

Zhao Zheng smiled: "A man disguised as a woman, are you happy too?"

"Happy!" The young master patted his chest and said, "For the sake of the emperor, I don't have to be afraid even if I go up the mountain of knives and down in the pan of oil. What's the point of wearing women's clothes!"

Isn't it just pretending to be a woman, sir!

"That's fine." Zhao Zheng said with emotion, "I'll still be Mei Zheren, and save the secret guard from having to find another identity."

Mrs. Mei was made up by the little Hou Ye. Coincidentally, he happened to be a scholar.Zhao Zheng had formally played the role of Mr. Mei once, and the dark guard had even carefully made up Mr. Mei's seven aunts and eight aunts. It couldn't be more detailed, but now there are really such people in the north of the city.

Zhao Zheng said: "I am Mr. Mei, so you are Mr. Mei's newlywed wife, Mengshi, whose nickname is Yun'er, how about you?"

Young Master: "..."

The little duke covered his face in despair. Your Majesty, why do you have to emphasize "just married" and "newly married", and wearing women's clothing is just for show, why do you have to use a nickname? ?

"Yun'er." Mr. Mei said on a whim, "I heard that among the people, wives call their husbands. What do you call your husband?"

"No, I don't know..."

The newly-baked Yun'er was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head, she just acted like she didn't hear the word "husband".

Mr. Mei smiled: "My husband's name is Brother Zheng. Come on, let me call you?"

Yun'er: "..."
