After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

The next morning.

"Where are the people? Where did they go?"

Nan Rongjie paced back and forth in the courtyard anxiously, brows furrowed, as it was almost time to go to court.

His daughter really gives him problems every day.

"Master, we have searched the entire mansion, but there is no sign of the young lady." The servant reported with his head lowered, a hint of panic in his voice.

Nan Rongjie stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his anxiety.

"Search again! Don't miss any corner!" Nan Rongjie ordered, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.

The servants hurriedly responded and started looking for Nan Rongxi again.

Nan Rongjie let out a long sigh. Going to court is not something you can just not do.

Could it be that this person packed up his bags and ran away overnight in order to avoid going to court?

impossible? !

What will she eat if she runs away?! Will she starve to death sooner or later?!

Suddenly, Nan Rongjie seemed to hear a series of light snoring sounds, and immediately ordered: "Everyone stop and listen to what this sound is!"

"Master, it sounds like snoring. If I listen carefully, it seems to be coming from the carriage!"

The servant reported in a low voice.

Nan Rongjie looked in the direction of the voice and angrily lifted the curtain of the carriage. The scene in front of him made him so angry that he almost exploded. He felt a tightness in his chest, as if even breathing had become difficult.

Seeing this, the servants nearby ran over to support him, fearing that he would get sick from anger.

Nan Rongjie's eyes fell on the corner of the carriage, and saw Nan Rongxi wrapped in a quilt, sleeping soundly in the carriage, still wearing a neat official uniform, and snoring at the moment.

"Bastard! Why are you sleeping here!" Nan Rongjie's angry roar echoed in the carriage, shaking the entire carriage as if it was trembling.

Nan Rongxi was awakened by her father's roar. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said drowsily, "Dad, what's wrong? Is it time to go to work?"

Nan Rongjie was so angry that his face turned blue and he wanted to take off his shoes and throw them at him right there and then.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm the anger in his heart, but his voice was still a little trembling.

My own child! You can’t beat her to death! Yes! You can’t beat a girl!

"Why are you hiding here? It's already so late and why aren't you getting up yet?" Nan Rongjie shouted sternly.

"Dad, if you're not excited, I'm not afraid of not being able to get up. I might as well sleep in the carriage. When you leave, you can take me with you. Look at me, I've even put on my official uniform!"

Nan Rongxi quickly sat up and tidied up her messy hair and clothes.

At this time, one has to hurry to attend court, and the beating and scolding have to be carried out after the court is dismissed!

"If you keep going like this, I'll be pissed off by you sooner or later! Let's go!"

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

The carriage slowly drove towards the palace!

On the way to the palace this time, officials of all kinds greeted Nan Rongxi. She also felt very strange. She had just attended court once, and she did nothing during the court session. Why did everyone suddenly know her and be so enthusiastic?

During the court session today, Nan Rongxi still stood in the back row with his eyes closed to rest.

The Imperial Censor Murong Qing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the case of the Minister of Rites Wang Ping leaking the exam questions, candidates Tang Chen and Xu Dong have already admitted that it was Wang Ping who leaked the questions to them, but Wang Ping refuses to confess!"

"There are still a few suspicious points in this case. First, Tang Chen said he gave Wang Ping 2000 taels, while Xu Dong said he gave him 5000 taels. The confessions are contradictory. Second, Tang Chen's family is poor and he couldn't afford so much money. Third, we didn't find so much money in Wang Ping's home."

"However, due to the confession signed by Tang Chen and Xu Dong, according to the law, Wang Ping can also be sentenced to exile. Your Majesty, please make the decision."

This case can be said to have caused a sensation in the city. It was originally an ordinary imperial examination. However, one night before the exam, Tang Chen and Xu Dong drank in Datong Hotel and declared that they would definitely pass the exam. As a result, after the results were announced, they really did pass the exam. Although the contents of the two test papers were different, they were both written impeccably. Generally speaking, the appearance of one such answer sheet is considered incredible, but now two of them appeared at the same time.

So, the candidates who were eating together in the restaurant that day went to report it. After a round of investigation, they found that Xu Dong had a good relationship with the Minister of Rites, and with the public outcry, they arrested all the relevant personnel!

Emperor Rentong waved his sleeves and said, "My dear ministers, what are your opinions?"

Wang An, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is a matter of great importance to the country. If this matter is not handled properly, the candidates all over the country will not be able to give an explanation. I suggest that the relevant personnel be severely punished!"

Emperor Rentong understood Wang Ping's character. He did not believe that Wang Ping had cheated, but after investigating again and again, he could not prove his innocence. The people's reaction was very intense, so he was helpless.

Nan Rongjie stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are many doubts in this case. I suggest that we should not rush to draw a conclusion and continue to investigate further!"

Murong Qing retorted: "The entire Censorate has been investigating for a month, and everyone has been staying up late every day to investigate. There are too few clues in this case, and the results are almost the same after investigating again and again!"

System: [Xizi, do you want to hear about the gossip of this imperial examination case? ]

The sound woke up the staggering Nan Rongxi!

[Tongzi, I'm so sleepy. I don't want to listen today! ]

Really?!

And this Nan Rongxi's system? !

Wouldn't you know if you just ask?!

Can't let her sleep! Someone come!

Nan Rongjie looked at the emperor's eyes and immediately understood. He quickly pinched Nan Rongxi and whispered, "Go to court properly! Don't fall asleep!"

Emperor Rentong felt relieved after seeing this scene.

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, I'm forced to do business. Tell me, what's the melon about this imperial examination? It'd better be a big melon! ]

The emperor and all the officials immediately lowered their voices and pricked up their ears!

System: [In fact, this matter was all caused by Wang An, the rat shit! ]

Hearing this, Wang An became nervous and wanted to rush towards Nan Rongxi to stop it. Seeing this, the Prince and Murong Qing covered his mouth with one hand and quickly subdued him with the other.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Rentong gave these two people a thumbs up in his heart!

here you go!
