Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Meihua. She was terrified and wanted to argue, but she opened her mouth and no sound came out.

Li Da's heart became ruthless, and he slammed his forehead heavily on the ground, making one dull "dong dong dong!" sound after another.

"Your Majesty, the incident with the imperial examination papers was also instigated by the Fifth Princess. She is jealous of Princess An Ning and is trying to disrupt the imperial examination for her own benefit!"

“I know my crime!

I was wrong!

I was wrong!"

Li Da kowtowed once for every sentence he said. His voice was filled with grief and indignation. He knew that he had committed a great sin, but for the sake of his son, he decided to stab the Fifth Princess in the back and risk everything.

"It's unfair!" Lin Meihua's legs went limp and she sat on the ground, still trying to argue, "Father...Father..."

Lin Moyun glared at him, "Meihua, you still don't know you're wrong?! Li Lingyu said that you abused him, is that true?!

Li Da accused you of instructing him to falsify the results of the imperial examination! Could this be true? ! "

Lin Meihua's eyes widened, "Father... it's fake! They are all framed!"

The emperor snorted coldly, "You are so stubborn! The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble!"

At this time, Ouyang Qingyu knelt down, "Your Majesty, please look carefully!"

All the ministers knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, please look into this matter!"

Lin Moyun took a deep breath, "Come here! Take Li Da to the prison, and let Minister Ouyang investigate this matter. The fifth princess Lin Meihua will be confined to the princess's mansion from today onwards, and all the male favorites in the mansion will be released from the mansion. In addition, they will be punished to copy the Guanyin Heart Sutra 10,000 times! They are not allowed to go out unless summoned!

If anyone dares to deceive me, I will not let him off easily! "

Until she was dragged away by the guards, Lin Meihua was still shouting, "Father, I am innocent, Father!"

[System prompt: Li Lingyu's mission completed, health +10 days, a total of 32 days, 9 hours and 30 minutes]

Lin Moyun seemed not to hear, his eyes fell on Lin Wanwan: "An Ning, are you feeling better after being poisoned?"

Lin Wanwan bowed slightly and replied softly, "Your Majesty, after the treatment of the imperial physician Situ Liuyun, I feel much better after a good night's sleep last night."

Lin Moyun saw that although her face was still a little pale, there was a little more spirit in her eyes, and nodded slightly.

Ye Zhaobo, who was standing nearby, heard Lin Wanwan's words that she was feeling much better, and his face instantly turned ugly. He frowned unconsciously, and a barely perceptible gloom flashed across his eyes.

The worry on Lin Moyun's face eased a little, and he smiled and said, "That's good. You must take good care of yourself and don't leave any root of the disease."

Lin Wanwan said: "Yes."

Lin Moyun's eyes fell on the paper again: "Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, is waiting for the title."

Lin Wanwan knelt in the hall.

Lin Moyun looked at the test paper again: "I hereby appoint Lin Wanwan as the Minister of Works."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Wanwan expressed her gratitude.

Lin Moyun glanced at Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe meaningfully and said, "There is another matter today. I will marry Ye Sisi, the daughter of the Censorate, as the Crown Princess and she will marry Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe on a chosen date."

In the court, when Lin Moyun announced the marriage decree, Prime Minister Su Mingde's face suddenly darkened, his brows furrowed, he stepped forward, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's marriage concerns the foundation of the country. Although Miss Ye comes from a prominent family, the position of Crown Princess carries great responsibility and needs careful consideration."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiu, the Minister of the Dali Temple, glared at him, straightened his back, and stepped out from among the ministers. His face was full of determination and indignation, and he loudly retorted:

"Your Majesty, this is wrong. I heard that Miss Ye is virtuous, talented and beautiful, and is just right for the position of Crown Princess."

Imperial Censor Ye Zhaobo had a normal expression on his face, but he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.

A minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I also think it is inappropriate."

Then another minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think Ye Sisi is talented and beautiful, and even more rare is that she is gentle and reserved by nature, well-educated and sensible. This is a match made in heaven."

For a while, the two factions in the court argued endlessly.

The Third Prince Lin Gao had a gloomy face and clenched his fists tightly. He originally thought that Ye Zhaobo was just playing Tai Chi between him and Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe, but it turned out that he had completely leaned towards Lin Xiaohe.

Lin Moyun hated the factions among the court officials the most. Seeing the ministers like this, he was furious and slammed the throne, shouting:

"I have made up my mind. There is no need to discuss this matter further!"

Lin Wanwan couldn't help but feel refreshed after hearing these words.

Seeing His Majesty's sharp eyes sweeping over the ministers majestically, everyone was frightened and lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more.

Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe pretended to be hearing about this arranged marriage for the first time and was not surprised at all. After thinking for a moment, he raised a faint smile and said:

"Since it is the emperor's will, I will obey it."

Ouyang Qingyu's eyes quietly fell on Lin Wanwan beside him. She frowned slightly, her face was filled with anger, and she looked unhappy.

At this time, everyone in the court was talking about the marriage. Ouyang Qingyu took advantage of the fact that no one was looking at him, secretly but very naturally reached out his hand, and gently held Lin Wanwan's hand.

Lin Wanwan was startled at first, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise, and she subconsciously tried to break free.

Ouyang Qingyu's strength seemed neither strong nor heavy, so it was difficult to break free from him with just a little movement.

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes and met Ouyang Qingyu's gaze. His eyes were deep and warm, and the concern in them was like the warm sunshine in spring.

Ouyang Qingyu said softly: "Don't worry, there are some things I can plan for the princess."

Lin Wanwan's eyes were cold and clear: "This princess doesn't like to rely on others to do things."

After saying that, Lin Wanwan's lips slightly raised, and a plan had already come up with her mind.

Ouyang Qingyu took in her expression and gently loosened his hand.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Lin Moyun felt extremely upset about Lin Meihua's matter, so he shook his sleeves and stood up to leave.

"Retire~~"

All the ministers withdrew and walked out of the hall to leave the court.

At this time, Li Lingyu's tears subsided a little. He walked to Lin Wanwan, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your help. If you don't mind, Lingyu..."

Hearing this, Ouyang Qingyu's eyes paused slightly.

Su Ye frowned, ran over, looked at Li Lingyu warily, and immediately interrupted him: "Don't even think about it."

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I hope you can meet a good person in the future."

After that, Lin Wanwan opened the [System Panel]

Su Ye's lips curled up into a smile, and he walked up to Lin Wanwan and said, "Princess... I took a lot of effort to get my father to help."

Seeing his expression of seeking praise, Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "I know."

Su Ye came closer again and opened his folding fan to cover his face: "Princess, actually, if you really have no interest in me, you can just say it directly."

Lin Wanwan glanced at him sideways: "Well, I'm not interested."

Su Ye folded his fan in one hand, tapped his palm several times and said:

"How can it be?

I do not believe.

Princess, please don't joke.

If the princess says such words again,

Humph, I will ignore you."

Ouyang Qingyu on the side said: "It's going to rain, I will take the princess back home."

"Okay." Lin Wanwan walked out of the hall side by side with him.

"Hey, Princess..." Watching the two of them leaving, Su Ye hurriedly walked outside the palace to see the clear sky. Where did the rain clouds come from? !

"Su Ye!" Su Mingde, who was standing by, had already reached the limit of his patience. "Come back home with me!"

Su Ye was a little impatient: "Okay, okay, okay, you've copied the ancestral teachings thousands of times, just say it directly."

Su Mingde's face darkened and he sighed, "I won't copy it anymore."

Su Ye heard this and fanned himself wildly: "Okay, a gentleman's word is his bond."

Su Mingde said: "Well, it's difficult to start a career, so start a family first. Come with me to meet your cousin's daughter, Liu Shushu."

Su Ye ran away. Is he sick? Is he mad at me? Knowing that I like the princess, why would he meet Liu Shushu?

Su Mingde felt uneasy as he watched his son running away. Princess An Ning pointed at Hua Yu.

In her marriage, the wife is the priority. Does his silly son want to be a concubine?

Su Mingde thought to himself: Madam, I must first arrange a date for him and Liu Shushu to get married.

Su Ye left the palace and walked on the bustling streets.

"Ah Si, you don't know that your master wants me to go on a blind date with Liu Shushu again."

Ah Si smiled and said, "That's great, sir. Miss Liu is a beauty."

"You're so stupid, what's the good of that?"

Ah Si rubbed his head and said, "Sir, why do you say Miss Liu is stupid?"

Su Ye waved his fan and said, "I remember that every time she embroidered a handkerchief and wanted to give it to me, it was cut up by someone else."

Ah Si said, "Yes, that seems to be the case. It's too abominable to blame the person who did the evil thing, and it's also not Miss Liu's fault."

"Don't blame her?" Su Ye stopped and looked at Ah Si, "The one who cut her handkerchief was me. She didn't notice it once and kept embroidering. Isn't she stupid?

If she doesn't embroider anymore, would it be necessary for me to cut it again and again?"

At this time, the streets were bustling with people and traffic, all heading towards Liqingyuan, a magnificent theater in the center of the city.

“I heard that Liu Yiruo has recently staged a great play. We must feast our eyes on it today.” A man who looked like a scholar and was dressed in a long gown said to his friend beside him.

"Oh, I came to listen yesterday. Indeed, Liu Yiruo's performances are always wonderful. I'm sure you won't be disappointed this time." The friend responded.

"I don't know what story this play is about today. It's really curious."

"No matter what the story is, as long as Liu Yiruo sings it, it will be wonderful. The last time the princess failed the exam, the last few times the Imperial Censor, which one of them didn't give us a feast for the ears?!"

"Go, go, go!"

They walked past Su Ye one by one.

A failed princess?! Su Ye waved his folding fan angrily, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly in anger, and his thin lips were pursed into a line.

"Ah Si, let's go and listen to the opera."

Su Ye walked into the private room of the theater, looking at the stage below through the carved windows from time to time.

"This Liu Yiruo is so bold that he even fabricated the story of the princess failing the imperial examination." Su Ye said gritting his teeth, waving the folding fan in his hand more and more rapidly.

Ah Si, the servant beside him, advised cautiously: "Sir, don't be angry. It might be a misunderstanding. Let's listen to the play first."

"Humph! Misunderstanding?" Su Ye put away his folding fan fiercely and tapped Ah Si's head twice. "I want to see what he can sing. If he really says something to slander the princess, I will not let him off."
