Chapter 955: Falling in Love with a Monk
The emperor then read the rest of the essays roughly again, and saw a familiar one. He thought about it, isn't this written by the eldest brother of the Crown Princess?
This essay was sent to him because it was selected by eight examiners, which shows that the level is really not low.
The emperor put on the filter of relatives, and the more he read it, the more he liked it. After thinking about it, he wrote a three on it.
He chose another one that looked good and wrote a two, and the emperor's task was completed.
The officials who were marking the papers were summoned to the Qianqing Palace, and the names were opened on the spot, and the rankings were filled in on the spot.
Before the imperial edict was posted, Gu Fei got the news.
She was not surprised that Su Chen won the first place, but what was surprising was that her eldest brother could win the third place.
Compared with Su Chen, her eldest brother could not be compared in terms of qualifications, time spent studying, and family background.
The emperor definitely put on a filter to get this third place.
Gu Fei was not in a hurry to send someone to send the news home, anyway, the edict would be posted early tomorrow morning.
The next day, Gu Fei went to pay respects to the Empress. She was first disturbed by the Emperor's concubines. After they left, the Empress took Gu Fei's hand and said, "I heard that your elder brother was selected as the third place in the imperial examination by the Emperor. This is really a great joy."
"Whenever you have a banquet at home, remember to tell me so that I can send someone to give gifts."
Gu Fei smiled and agreed.
The queen sighed, "Normally, there are happy events recently, and I don't have any worries."
"But I don't know what's wrong with Xiao Qing. She is not satisfied with who I choose as her consort. Now she has to go to Daxiangguo Temple to listen to sutras every one or two days. I am really worried that she has the idea of becoming a nun."
Gu Fei was a little surprised, "No way."
The queen took Gu Fei's hand, "Otherwise, you can find out her thoughts for me. She has always been close to you and is willing to tell you anything."
"Only you can help your mother share her worries."
Gu Fei declined without a trace: "I can't take care of Xiao Chi now, and the princess doesn't go to me. I really can't spare the energy."
She won't get involved in this muddy water.
If Xiao Qing really wants to become a nun, she will tell the queen that being caught between them will only make people hate her.
Besides, some people in this world are not worth treating sincerely.
The queen was half disappointed. Although Gu Fei was telling the truth, she always felt that these were excuses.
Gu Fei just didn't want to get involved in this matter. If she wanted to, she would always have a way.
The queen was a little unhappy, Gu Fei noticed it, and quickly stood up to say goodbye.
Qin'er followed Gu Fei silently, walked a long way, and then whispered: "Master, I heard something, I don't know if it's true or not."
"I heard that the princess is now infatuated with a monk in Daxiangguo Temple, so she goes there every day."
Gu Fei opened her mouth slightly, "Monk?"
A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in her mind, "That monk wouldn't be Miaokong, right?"
Qin'er whispered: "I think it's Miaokong."
Gu Fei sighed for a long time, "Fortunately I didn't pick up this thread just now."
Otherwise, the princess fell in love with the monk, and she told the queen about this matter. Besides the queen's shame and anger, how could the person who spread the news get away?
The queen hit a wall with Gu Fei, and obviously she would not let Xiao Qing go like this. A few days later, she called Gu Fei and went to Daxiangguo Temple with Xiao Qing to worship Buddha.
The Queen wanted to see for herself what it was about Daxiangguo Temple that attracted Xiao Qing.
