Chapter 267 She Will Definitely Pass High School
As soon as the emperor said this, Yu Jiuer was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the fifth prince, the stumbling block, took action.
He raised the board and said to the emperor, "Father, most of Concubine Yu's hair was burned, and I think her neck is also seriously injured. She is taking the imperial examination with such a damaged appearance. It will damage the image of the students of the Great Dong Dynasty!"
Yu Jiuer's breathing stagnated.
Oh no! This guy might grab her by the hair and pull her down!
As soon as the Fifth Prince finished speaking, the First Prince also reacted and hurriedly said, "That's right! Father, students taking the imperial examinations are required to have good looks. It would be bad if she went to the examination room with this horrible look and scared the students taking the imperial examinations!"
Besides, if you do this, those who know about it will appreciate your kindness and righteousness; if you don't know about it, and use the laws of our dynasty, it may be detrimental to your reputation!"
"Pa!" The emperor's face was gloomy. He was so angry at his two sons that he slapped the handle of the dragon throne.
Look at what kind of creature this is. It doesn't even give me any respect.
Don’t I know that Yu Jiuer’s appearance has been damaged?
Assuming that Yu Jiuer would not pass the provincial examination, he just wanted to find a way out and make those women stop making trouble.
Is it necessary to rush to block the road?
Yu Jiuer said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, my burn will heal within 20 days, and my hair will grow out. It will definitely not affect my appearance."
The emperor glared at her. It was all this troublemaker’s fault, and now she wanted to fool him?
Feeling upset, he snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I'm easy to fool? Everyone knows that burns are the hardest to heal? Can you heal in 20 days? Why don't you brag that you can become a fairy?"
The emperor calmed down, looked at Yu Tao, and suggested, "You have hideous scars on your head and neck, so you really can't enter the examination room. It would be better to train Madam Yu well for the provincial examination! At least she won't have burns that would expose her naked body."
a bolt from the blue!
Yu Tao knelt down with a plop, tears welling up in her eyes: "No! Your Majesty, I know my own limitations and I dare not take on such a heavy responsibility!
Yinshan County is still waiting for someone who has passed the palace examination to take over as the county magistrate. The next important task of the imperial examination must be done by Concubine Yu! Please understand, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Yutao crying till she was hoarse, the women in the hall could only worry as well!
The conditions given by the emperor were really harsh. Not to mention appearance, even if the appearance was perfect, how many scholars could pass the imperial examination? Why did the emperor want to make things difficult for these women?
Yu Jiuer straightened her back and looked up at the emperor. Her tone was firm and confident, and she said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, I promise you that when I enter the examination room for the provincial examination, my appearance will be restored to its original state! Your Majesty, please do not miss out on this good candidate for the imperial examination! I will definitely bring glory to you and the Great Dong Dynasty again!"
Even so, the emperor still did not make a decision immediately, but lowered his head and pondered.
Yu Jiuer's heart was in her throat. The imperial examination was the only way out for Yinshan County and there could be no room for any mistakes. Even if she had to leave sideways today, she would make sure the emperor gave in.
A minister from the eldest prince's party mocked, "Concubine Yu is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! Every year, tens of thousands of people take part in the provincial examination, but how many of them can pass it? What do you think of the provincial examination? Is it that easy?"
The emperor frowned and became troubled.
He said that this woman was no ordinary person and always gave him trouble.
Fortunately, at this time, the emperor's "sweetheart" - the Prime Minister said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu is so confident, if we don't give her a chance, it would seem that we are not being humane.
How about we wait and see. If she can recover her appearance before the provincial examination, we will let her enter the examination room. If not, she can't blame us. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Before the emperor expressed his opinion, the third prince sneered and said, "Father, I don't believe she can pass the examination. The examination room may not be strict enough, but the provincial examination is supervised by the Prime Minister and the cabinet ministers, so there will be no mistakes.
Why don't we just let her try? We won't be the ones making fun of ourselves anyway!"
Yu Jiuer glared at the Third Prince fiercely. Was he saying that there was favoritism and fraud in their academy examination?
His dog eyes are blinded!
When she passes the provincial examination, his eyes and jaw will drop!
But what made Yu Jiuer upset was that Shang Buqun actually nodded in agreement: "That's right!"
Yu Jiuer glanced at Shang Buqun: What do you mean? Don't believe me?
Shang Buqun smiled and raised his eyebrows at her: I only say this because I believe you!
Yu Jiuer snorted in her heart. After all, this guy was helping her, so she wouldn't bother with him!
Many ministers in the palace were also not optimistic about Yu Jiuer, and they all raised their hands to agree with the Prime Minister's suggestion:
"Your Majesty, why don't you let her try? It doesn't cost any money, and if she fails, it won't be us who will be embarrassed."
Finally, the emperor nodded and said, "Okay! If your hair really grows out before the provincial examination, you will be allowed to enter the examination room."
Yu Jiuer pretended to be stupid and asked, "The emperor just promised that if I pass the imperial examination, I can open the Lishan Academy. Is it still valid?"
She had to get the emperor's approval. Who knew if he would be influenced by this group of ministers again?
"Naturally counts!"
Yu Jiuer heaved a sigh of relief, and after expressing her gratitude, she led her sisters out of the Golden Palace, leaving the Golden Palace to these self-righteous ministers, allowing them to continue spitting at each other.
When the women walked out to the square, several of them collapsed to the ground instantly and could not stand up straight for a long time.
Xiao Qingqing wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Mom! This Golden Palace is really not for humans! Jiuer, luckily you are in control of the overall situation, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to say a word!"
"Aren't you very capable in there? Don't underestimate yourself. One day, maybe you will become an official, stand in there and talk eloquently, giving advice to the emperor on state affairs!" Yu Jiuer praised her with a smile.
"Yes! Qingqing, you are braver than all of us!"
At this time, the guard next to him reminded: "Go! This is not the place for discussion!"
Everyone supported each other and ran towards the palace gate hand in hand.
After leaving the palace gate, everyone panted and leaned against the stone lions outside the palace gate. They looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha... It's too exciting!"
After laughing, someone still asked worriedly: "But, can hair really grow long after 20 days?"
"The mountain man has a clever plan!" Yu Jiuer's eyes were full of cunning, but she didn't point it out for the time being to avoid being overheard.
Everyone understood what was going on and didn't ask any more questions. As long as she said yes, it was fine.
Yun Mei Niang hesitated to speak, but couldn't help asking: "Jiu'er, the provincial examination is not a joke, are you really, really sure?"
Yu Tao smiled and said first: "Don't worry! She will definitely pass the exam!"
"Don't worry, wait for my good news!" Yu Jiuer comforted everyone.
"After I go back, I will study behind closed doors. Please go back and comfort the students at Lishan Academy. Let them go home and wait for news. When I pass the exam, we will open the business again!
It was my fault for letting you get implicated this time. I'm sorry!"
Shu Ling shook her head and said, "What are you talking about? Before I met you, our lives were boring. The happiest thing was the monthly gathering of poetry friends. After I got married, I can see the end of my life at a glance.
But after knowing you, we live a fulfilling and hopeful life every day, and we can’t thank you enough!”
"That's right! We just now realize that life can be lived so freely!" Xie Shier hugged Yu Jiuer with tears falling.
The other women said in unison: "Don't blame you, we enjoy it!"
Yu Jiuer's eyes welled up with tears. "The prince and I will give them a warning and make them never dare to act so recklessly again! The prince and I will not let go of those who want to hurt us! Everyone, just wait for my good news!"
"Okay! Just study peacefully for the next twenty days, we won't bother you!" Xiao Qingqing said as she waved to Yu Jiuer, "I have to go home first to report my safety to my father, and then I'll go back to the academy to comfort the students. See you!"
"Goodbye!"
After saying goodbye to everyone, Yu Jiuer went straight back to the palace!
After entering the house, she immediately told Chun'er: "Help me prepare some potions..."
Hair definitely can't grow that fast.
But it can’t grow longer. Can’t she get hair extensions?
How could such a little trick of hair extensions stump a modern person like her? Isn't it a waste of God letting her live this life again?
After giving Chun'er instructions, she went into the house confidently to review her homework.
