Chapter 188 Why make it so ugly?
The Queen said: "Lady Su originally did not want to participate in this competition. I will specially allow her to enter the Painting Studio of the Literati Museum."
"I think Lady Su has great painting skills, and I wanted to marry the eldest prince to her as the master, but Lady Su didn't want to follow her master forever and was demoted to a concubine, so she made a bet with me that she could get above average in the seven subjects of the Literary Hall through her own efforts."
"The bet is that after she passes all the tests, I will not touch her position as lord." The Queen had just finished speaking.
Suddenly, everyone in the hall looked at Su Yueyao. Su Yueyao obtained so many superior things just to preserve her position as the lord. What's more, she didn't even want the prince to be the lord.
Some of the men in the hall looked at Yang Qianxun with envy.
How good is he? Let Su Yueyao protect him like this! No girl from aristocratic family dares to make such a promise. This also involves the issue of offspring. If Su Yueyao does not give birth to children for him in the future, then all of Su Yueyao's descendants will be illegitimate sons and daughters.
A concubine's daughter can be registered under the name of the lord, but the gentlemen that Su Yueyao will marry in the future will all have high family backgrounds. How could those gentlemen allow their daughters to be registered under the name of the lord?
"Do you still think that my master is just a master? Who asked me to participate? Stand up. And since you are all participating, why don't you show your talents to everyone present? Let the women present take a good look at you and decide whether they want to marry you?"
"Your Majesty, they have made things so difficult for my master. Please give Yueyao an explanation." Su Yueyao said expressionlessly.
Suddenly the scene became deserted, and the faces of several young men in the middle turned pale. If they were to display their talents in such a public place, they would be like dancers. How would they find good wives in the future?
"Miss Su, your lord just wrote a few words. Why make such a fuss?" said a young man in the middle.
"I just want to make things awkward. What kind of wine did you just give my master to drink? Do you want me to tell you clearly?" Su Yueyao looked at the man.
Having said this, the men in the middle immediately knelt down.
"Lady Su, I was wrong to wait for you. I have always admired Young Master Yang's talent, so I wanted him to come out and play with us. We would like to apologize to Master Su right now." said a man.
"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, the few top scholars in the Literary Hall that I fought for my master may not be able to protect the people I want to protect. I don't want these top scholars anymore!"
The queen looked quietly at Su Yueyao who was kneeling on the ground, sighed, waved her hand, and suddenly several men in black appeared in the hall.
All the young masters were taken out in an instant. Some ministers wanted to plead for mercy, but they were so frightened by the Queen's eyes that they dared not say anything.
The hall suddenly became silent. No one dared to breathe. Some were so uneasy that they were afraid of being implicated.
Two quarters of an hour later, Fu An appeared and said, "Your Majesty has found out that this matter was planned by the daughter of the Xie family and the daughter of the Minister of War, Lady Wei. The wine that Lord Su drank was provided by the daughter of the Yang family, and it contained something that caused Lord Su's skin to become red and swollen due to allergies."
"You are so brave." The Queen said angrily when she heard the voice.
Just now, those young masters asked Su Yueyao's master to join in the game of passing the flower while beating the drum. She thought it was just a game among the young masters. She actually wanted to see what was so outstanding about this young master of the Yang family that Su Yueyao could defend him so much, so she did not interrupt.
I didn't expect they had such vicious intentions.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Suddenly, everyone in the hall knelt down.
"Did you also participate?" The Queen suddenly looked at Xie Guijun and asked.
"Your Majesty, I didn't. I didn't know Qiwu would do these things." Xie Guijun said immediately.
The empress looked at Xie Guijun with some disappointment and said directly: "The general who guards the country indulges his children will be demoted one level. Xie Guijun will be demoted to concubine and confined for one month. The legitimate daughter of the Xie family will compensate the Su family with 10,000 taels of silver."
"The assistant minister of the Ministry of War failed to discipline his children strictly, and was demoted to a deputy minister of the Ministry of War. The legitimate daughter of the Wei family must pay 10,000 taels of silver to the Su family. The legitimate daughter of the Yang family refused to change after repeated admonitions and was banished to the women's building for half a year. The young man who participated in the passing of the flower today will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane."
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
Suddenly, many people came to plead for mercy.
"Qianxun, please save your sister. She didn't mean it." Yang's mother pleaded loudly.
"Mother, I... am sorry." Yang Qianxun's face turned very bad when he heard Yang's mother's plea and he refused directly.
"Mother, my elder sister is doing this because she wants to kill Qianxun. Why is mother so partial to her?" Yang Jialuo said.
The empress didn't want to look at their pleading faces anymore, so she waved her hand, and everyone in the Yang Mansion, as well as those ministers of the young masters, including Xie Guijun, were all taken away by the palace servants.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for seeking justice for my master." Su Yueyao was very satisfied with the result and bowed to the empress.
The empress glanced at Su Yueyao. It was much more convenient for her to deal with people with Su Yueyao. It was indeed time for Xie to take action. This time she demoted him to a noble lord, and she hoped that he could think it through. Otherwise, she would not keep Xie any longer!
Su Yueyao felt a little scared when the empress looked at her. Was Her Majesty angry that she had harmed Xie Guijun? Xie?
It's not her fault! They came to her door and bullied her, she couldn't fight back. When Su Yueyao was about to say something else, the queen spoke up.
"My eldest prince has reached adulthood, and Lady Su is extremely talented. The two are a perfect match. Today I grant them marriage, with the eldest prince becoming Su Yueyao's equal husband."
After the Queen finished speaking, everyone below was stunned. They hadn't even recovered from the Queen's wrath yet, and she had already granted the eldest prince's marriage to Su Yueyao?
Isn't Xie Guijun the most favored by the Queen? Queen Xie has always tolerated them. Today, they were dealt with directly, and they haven't come to their senses yet!
His Majesty was furious again. They just thought that if Su Yueyao did not touch the master, His Majesty would not let the prince be a concubine. They did not expect that His Majesty would actually grant him a commoner husband.
Those ministers who wanted His Majesty to grant a marriage suddenly felt that His Majesty was very treacherous. It turned out that His Majesty had long fallen in love with Su Yueyao, which was why he had not granted a marriage for their sons.
Before Su Yueyao received the order, the general came out and said, "Your Majesty, this is not allowed! How can the eldest prince marry a commoner who is not even the master? This will affect the dignity of the royal family!"
The general who guards the country had just suffered a setback with Su Yueyao, and now he was even more unwilling for her to marry the eldest prince.
"Who said Su Yueyao is a commoner? Su Yueyao contributed to the rescue of drowning people and presented a painting of plum blossoms. I have specially issued an order that as long as Su Yueyao passes the evaluation of the Literary Hall, she will be granted the title of Eighth-Rank Shangyi as an exception."
"Now, four of the Su Yueyao Literary Institute's scholars have been rated as top-notch, and the three scholars in the Literature Workshop have submitted their reports. The article written by Su Yueyao to encourage learning should be passed down for future generations to learn from."
"Your Majesty, on behalf of the scholars in the Academy of Literature, I request Your Majesty to reward Lady Su for this article." Master Huan stepped out and said.
"I approve it."
"Su Yueyao, listen to my order. I will appoint you as a sixth-rank editor and send you to study at the Academy of Literature. When you have completed your studies, I will allow you to enter the court."
"I accept the decree and thank you." Su Yueyao accepted the decree without caring about anything else. A woman with an official position can be said to have a higher status than a man, so she would not be stupid enough to refuse it.
"Your Majesty." The general looked at the empress in disbelief. He questioned, "Will Su Yueyao be promoted to a sixth-rank editor directly?" In the future, she can directly enter the court.
"General, I have made up my mind. You may withdraw now!"
"His Majesty..."
"Su Yueyao, I have already granted you a marriage with the eldest prince. What do you think?" The empress said with a smile without even looking at the general.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to marry the eldest prince as my husband. Thank you very much for granting the marriage." Su Yueyao said.
"Okay... I will ask the Imperial Observatory to calculate your horoscopes and determine the wedding date." The Queen said happily.
"Your Majesty, didn't you promise to grant a marriage between my youngest son and Lady Su?" Master Huan suddenly said.
"Your Majesty, my son is also one of them." Minister Yuan said as he stepped out.
"Your Majesty, there are only three people in Lady Su's backyard now. How can we serve Lady Su well? My son has just been evaluated in the Academy of Literature this year, so he can do the job." said Wei Daxueshi.
"His Majesty...."
"His Majesty...."
Suddenly the scene became a little chaotic and many ministers came out.
Su Yueyao turned her head to look at the ministers, a black line flew across her mind...
