Chapter 136 Emperor Qingyuan catches the adulterer himself
Ye Hanting asked, "Does this poem have a title?"
"Traveling through the night and writing my thoughts." Chu Li retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Hanting.
"Sir, how did you feel when you won the top three prizes?"
Ye Hanting tapped the table lightly with his fingers, "Not bad."
He didn't even win the top three prizes at that time. Now Chu Li was in a good mood when he asked him this question.
Chu Li said: "Sir, there are no ancients before you, and no successors after you."
Ye Hanting glanced at Luo Mingchuan lightly, then retracted his gaze and said with a smirk, "The prince's skill in praising others is unprecedented and will never be surpassed."
Luo Mingchuan looked at Ye Hanting's handsome back. Tutor Ye Hanting has always been his role model and goal.
He also wanted to become the second person in the Great Chu State to win the top three places like Ye Hanting.
He should conserve his energy and prepare for tomorrow's exam.
Chu Li glanced at Luo Mingchuan and saw that he had fallen asleep, so she looked away.
The next day, the examination finally ended and Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Li returned to the inn where the officials taking the imperial examinations were resting.
She, Ye Hanting, Prime Minister Jiang, and the people from the Ministry of Rites will need to stay here until the marking work is completed.
The formal marking of the papers will not begin until tomorrow, so she can have a good rest for a day.
Chu Li ordered a lot of delicious food and enjoyed it with Kong Wu and Huan Yan.
After eating and drinking, she went to sleep.
During dinner in the evening, the people in the post house prepared a singing and dancing performance for everyone to relieve their fatigue.
Chu Li could also understand that in ancient times, the officialdom was full of men, so she should not spoil the fun of such occasions.
She felt tired after drinking tea and listening to music, so she went back to her room to rest.
Suddenly, she heard beautiful music coming from her room.
She pushed open the door and saw a very beautiful woman sitting by the window playing the piano.
Chu Li rubbed his eyebrows. In such a corrupt officialdom, these people actually found a prostitute for her.
She looked at the woman and said, "Go back!"
The piano music stopped abruptly, and the woman stood up and said respectfully, "Yes."
When the woman walked past her, Chu Li suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
Chu Li immediately held his breath and knocked the woman unconscious.
The woman fainted on the ground, and Chu Li took out a handkerchief to cover her nose before she reacted.
Incense that can make you fall in love with someone.
Someone wants to knock her out!
She looked around and suddenly found another woman lying on the bed.
The woman was quite stunning in appearance. She remembered that she was Xia Nishang whom she had met during the imperial examination.
On the other side, Mo Yun quietly observed the movements in Chu Li's room. After waiting for a while, no one came out. It seemed that Chu Li had taken the bait. He waited in the dark and asked someone to catch the adulterer.
Chu Yue had been with Emperor Qingyuan today. She had brought him to the long street to investigate the people's sentiments, and they happened to walk to this place.
After she got the signal, she told Emperor Qingyuan that a female candidate had bribed the examiner with her body.
Emperor Qingyuan was furious, "Who is it?"
Chu Yue was shocked, "It seems to be the prince, why don't you go and see it yourself, father?"
Emperor Qingyuan felt that even if the prince was as romantic as he was, he could not distinguish the occasion clearly.
So he immediately went to the inn with Chu Yue.
A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Qingyuan went upstairs angrily.
He heard the sound of the piano from a distance.
Chu Yue sneered, Chu Li even knew how to use the sound of the piano to cover up such dirty things.
In front of Chu Li's door, Emperor Qingyuan ordered his men to kick the door open.
Chu Yue was laughing secretly behind Emperor Qingyuan. Today, there was a stunning beauty lying on Chu Li's bed.
She just didn't believe that Chu Li wouldn't be moved.
If the emperor found out that the woman Chu Li was sleeping with was his new love, Xia Nishang, that would be a very exciting scene.
Emperor Qingyuan rushed into the room angrily and saw Chu Li at first sight.
Emperor Qingyuan's voice was slightly surprised, "How come Master Ye is here too!"
Chu Yue's heart skipped a beat.
Why is Ye Hanting here?
Chu Yue's scalp tingled the instant she looked over there. The scene of catching someone cheating in bed was not what she had imagined.
At this moment, Ye Hanting was sitting beside Chu Li, teaching him how to play the piano step by step.
What went wrong!
Mo Yun was clearly watching at the door, how could he let the two women escape? When did Ye Hanting come in?
After Ye Hanting and Chu Li saw Emperor Qingyuan and Chu Yue, they both stood up.
"Why did the emperor come here in person?" Chu Li looked surprised.
Ye Hanting was impressed by her acting skills.
Emperor Qingyuan looked at Ye Hanting who nodded slightly at him. As an emperor, it was a bit embarrassing for him to come here to catch an adulterer.
He misunderstood Chu Li, so he changed the subject and looked at Chu Li, "The imperial examination is such an important matter, and the papers will be marked tomorrow. How do you have time to learn these things? Aren't you afraid that it will delay your work?"
Chu Li said calmly: "Father's birthday is coming soon. I want to learn a poem called "High Mountains and Flowing Water" and present it to you when the time comes."
Emperor Qingyuan was filled with rage, but his anger calmed down a little after hearing Chu Li's words.
He looked around and didn't see any women, then looked at Chu Li and said, "The prince is thoughtful."
"It's what a son should do." Chu Li nodded.
Emperor Qingyuan tried to save face for himself and could only say, "Okay, then the Grand Tutor will teach you well. I am waiting for the Crown Prince to perform."
"Yes, father!" Chu Li silently saw Emperor Qingyuan off.
Chu Yue, who was behind Emperor Qingyuan, looked back at Chu Li.
She clenched her teeth, but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "I look forward to the performance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Li gave a perfunctory smile. At this point, the fact that she and Chu Yue were not getting along was already out in the open.
The original owner was proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the original owner’s hands were the original owner’s, and she was her hand.
Although we have escaped a disaster, we are now facing new problems.
She looked at Ye Hanting.
"Sir, I'm sorry to trouble you again." Chu Li said respectfully.
Ye Hanting brought her into the house and asked her, "Chu Yue is clearly targeting you, don't you want to retaliate against her?"
Chu Li's eyes darkened. "The time has not come yet. Chu Yue has made great contributions in the war, so the emperor will not make things difficult for her. In addition, the mistakes she made were minor, so at most she will be reprimanded by the emperor."
Ye Hanting nodded. Emperor Qingyuan was indeed more partial to Chu Yue.
Right now, Chu Li is still not fully grown, so it is not the best time.
"Don't you feel bitter?" Ye Hanting looked into Chu Li's eyes. She had experienced too much hardship alone in this deep palace.
If she hadn't silently endured the attacks and used her wisdom to avoid them, she would have died long ago.
Chu Li smiled brightly, "First bitter then sweet, then sweet upon sweet, first sweet then bitter, there is no redemption."
Ye Hanting smiled and said, "Okay, if you need my help, just tell me."
Today, Chu Li asked Huan Yan to secretly deliver a letter to him. He came in through the back window, and Huan Yan threw the two women down from the second floor, and then helped Chu Li resolve the crisis.
Huanyan came in from outside and nodded, saying, "Master, that courtesan is from the Jiaofang Bureau and she accepted money from others."
Ye Hanting's eyes darkened. How did Hao Ren manage his subordinates?
"The other Miss Xia fell into a coma. Our people have sent her back."
"I understand." Chu Li understood Chu Yue's method of framing. His father had come in person, so it seemed that Xia Nishang was very important to him.
After Ye Hanting left the Jiaofangsi, he came to the teahouse.
A woman wearing a veil came slowly and nodded respectfully, "Master."
