The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

When the emperor saw the boy Shancai, he felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he put it aside for the time being and asked Cui Shi to hold the jade Buddha in front of Taoist Qingfeng and asked:

"Master Imperial Master, please take a look at what the cracked Jade Buddha signifies. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Taoist Qingfeng took the jade Buddha, looked at it, put it back into the box, and said with a smile:

"It's okay. Jade will easily crack when it comes into contact with candlelight. Just keep the incense away from you."

Cui Shi, who was holding the jade Buddha, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and thought, it's over, why did Taoist Qingfeng have to be here!

I heard that Taoist Qingfeng only loves to make firearms. Although he is a Taoist, he doesn't care much about ghosts and gods. He is not a serious Taoist.

Only Taizu was so unconventional that he could even promote such a Taoist priest as the national teacher. But since he was the national teacher, and he said that there was nothing strange about the cracks in the jade Buddha, then the drama arranged by Cui Shi about the evil spirit causing trouble and having to be eliminated could not go on.

You know, in order to make the jade Buddha crack, he tried it with many pieces of jade in advance, and only started after he mastered the technique, but something went wrong at the last step.

Cui Shi glanced at the princess, trying to hint her to think of a solution. After all, it was the princess who asked Lu Qing to hint him about using jade in the first place.

As a result, at such a critical moment, the eldest princess not only did not say anything, but also ate the bowl of sweet soup with osmanthus honey slowly, which really made Cui Shi anxious to death.

Could it be that Lu Qing conveyed the wrong message?

Cui Shi held the Jade Buddha in his hands, and was about to leave unwillingly, when he heard Taoist Qingfeng say:

"Buddhists use smaller jade, while Bodhisattvas use larger jade. Large jade is more likely to crack, so be careful when offering it. Bodhisattvas should be kept farther away from candlelight."

Cui Shi was a little confused:

"Master Imperial Master, there is no Bodhisattva, only Buddha's son. Do we need to add a Bodhisattva?"

Taoist Qingfeng laughed and said:

"Where did you get this jade Buddha? Shancai is a boy serving under the seat of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, always by the side of the Bodhisattva. How could there be no Bodhisattva but only a boy?

The carving technique of this jade is the work of craftsmen from the previous dynasty. This box is also the work of craftsmen from the previous dynasty. Touch the bottom of the box, and you will find that there are three bases for fixing it.

This set should be a Bodhisattva and two boys."

Cui Shi was also born in a poor family. He knew about gold and silver, but he was not very good at jade. He couldn't tell the craftsmanship from the previous dynasty or the rules that boys had to serve the Bodhisattva.

When the Emperor asked him to offer a jade Buddha to Concubine Hui, he took out all the jade Buddhas in the warehouse and asked Concubine Hui to choose. Concubine Hui chose the little boy on the spot and offered him as a sacrifice.

Hearing what Taoist Qingfeng said, Su Fengyi ate the bowl of sweet soup and said casually:

"Did they put them in the wrong place when they were put into storage? Go and look again to see if the Bodhisattva and the other boy were put in other boxes.

After all, they are in the emperor's storehouse, and no one dares to take them, so they can't be lost."

Cui Shi looked at the emperor and saw that he looked unhappy. He hesitated and asked:

"Your Majesty, I will go look for it again."

The emperor had a dark face. He took the jade Buddha in his hand and looked at it for a long time before saying:

"Go call Lu Hong."

Cui Shi was stunned. He thought of something and his face was filled with surprise and joy. Could it be that the emperor suspected him?

The emperor's warehouse has always been managed by Eunuch Qiao himself. Except for the warehouse manager, Eunuch Qiao has a key to all the warehouses. Even Cui Shi doesn't have this key.

There are so many good things in the emperor's private vault that the emperor can't even remember them all and he himself doesn't even know how many things he has.

The emperor was a person who only cared about having fun. He didn't even want to approve memorials, let alone look at the account books.

Therefore, Cui Shi did not know the exact number of good things that Eunuch Qiao had taken from the emperor's private treasury, but Eunuch Qiao was not innocent in matters of money and there were big problems, and Eunuch Cui knew it very well.

The Emperor sent for Commander Lu, and Eunuch Cui was delighted and said hurriedly:

"Go now, little one!"

After Cui Shi left, Su Fengyi pretended not to know what the emperor was thinking. She ate the bowl of sweet soup and casually chatted with the emperor about family matters:

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Wutong, the chief official in my palace?"

The emperor remembered it so well that his eyes lit up when he heard it.

But my sister finally discovered my thoughts and wants to send her into the palace?

That's right, being a chief historian is tiring and annoying. Just stay by my side. I will pamper her with good food and drink and won't let her suffer so much.

The emperor was very excited, but he still tried his best to maintain the dignity of an emperor, not to show that he cared too much about her, and replied as lightly as possible:

"I have some impression. What happened to her?"

Su Fengyi put down the bowl of sweet soup and said with some distress:

"Wutong is the chief official in my mansion, but she is not a graduate of the imperial examination system. When she is an official in the court, she is often bullied by those people who say that she has no achievements.

Wutong has been feeling a little sad lately, crying in the mansion every day."

The emperor suddenly felt distressed:

"Then don't be one. If she has nowhere to go, considering her previous contribution in saving the emperor, I will find a good place for her to go and ensure that she does not suffer these grievances."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui looked up at Su Fengyi. Seeing that the princess had no intention of asking her to join in the discussion, she pretended not to understand the emperor's meaning and just ate her sweet soup as she watched from the sidelines.

Su Fengyi also pretended not to hear anything and just said:

“With the emperor’s sympathy, Wutong’s grievances will naturally be resolved. Wutong is a competitive person.

If others bully her, she will naturally bully back and will definitely not give in.

She has been working hard these past few days, studying day and night, and is learning the Four Books and Five Classics."

The emperor just thought it was funny:

"Women can't take the imperial examinations, so what's the point of her learning? Isn't it just a waste of effort?"

Su Fengyi sighed:

"That's right, that's what I said. As a result, Wutong said that whether a woman can take the imperial examination is up to the emperor. If the emperor says yes, who dares to say no?

She was holding back her energy and was determined to take part in the imperial examination next year to let those people see how powerful she was. After all, she had followed me for so long, and seeing her sad and aggrieved, I felt really distressed.

I wonder if the emperor can show some mercy and give her this grace, allowing her to give it a try, which would also fulfill her wish."

The emperor felt that his sister was always acting on her own. How could he agree to allowing women to participate in the imperial examination? If he agreed, he would become a tyrant!

The emperor was about to refuse, but Su Fengyi said:

"If it is possible, please grant the emperor another grace and allow Wutong to come and thank you in person."

Su Fengyi said this, and the emperor swallowed back his words of refusal.

The emperor felt that just thinking about the person he had been thinking about day and night, would make him willing to come before him, kneel before him to express gratitude, and then do this and that to relieve his longing for her for so many months.

Moreover, as for the imperial examination, even if she was allowed to take it, she would not pass it. I'm afraid she would cry out of grievance then.

Thinking of the scene of a delicate beauty crying in front of him, waiting for him to comfort her, the emperor couldn't help but look forward to it even more. He swallowed his saliva and said:

"She has begged me so much, and she has helped me save the emperor before. If I don't agree, I will be ungrateful.

Since she wants to go, I will make an exception and give her this grace. If she fails the exam, don't come and cry in front of me."
