Chapter 293
"In the last term, there was a poor man who came second on the list." Qin Feng said: "I think I can give it a try. Besides, I am not giving up on the official clan. When the list is released, the books of the top three will be determined.
I will go to Qiadan and let’s talk about success or failure.”
"But the prince-in-law bound the poor students first," Xiao Lingyao finally understood: "Then why do you give five taels of silver to the candidates who have not entered the palace examination? What use do they have to you?"
Qin Feng said helplessly: "This is indeed just my little care for them. It would be a huge blow if they can't enter the palace examination this time. I don't want them to be discouraged. They will also need some silver for the return journey."
It was pure kindness. Xiao Lingyao was silent for a moment, feeling that she had treated a gentleman with a villain's heart, and felt extremely embarrassed.
Qin Feng said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry. This expenditure is the result of your thoughts and has nothing to do with Your Highness. I will bear it alone."
"What are you talking about? Even if it's for Governor Chang and Sister Yuan'er, I still have to express my feelings. The cost is half of it for you and me." Xiao Lingyao still felt heartache, but thought it was worth it.
Qin Feng secretly speculated that she was really short of money, but at this moment, the look in her eyes was not fake at all, and she was really sincere.
I think she seems to be pampered but can endure, looks like a well-dressed and well-fed girl but is obsessed with making money, knows that she is short of money but wants to do something righteous, and refuses to give in at all. Even if there are other princesses in Dongyue Kingdom, she will definitely
It won't be as special as her.
Qin Feng's heart felt as if it had been tickled by a feather, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that he didn't even notice when he looked at her: "Your Highness, are you serious?"
"Money has been a bit tight recently, but it's almost the end of the month. Isn't there still money from the spokesperson that can be divided? The scientific examination hasn't started yet, so even if it has to be paid, there is still time. By then, I will have other money back.
There will be no shortage of time.”
Xiao Lingyao said the reason seriously. Qin Feng saw her serious look, like a kindergarten kid talking with her fingers, and couldn't help laughing for a while.
"Are you smiling?" Xiao Lingyao looked at the smile on his face and curled her lips: "Are you trying to fool me?"
"How dare you, how dare you, it's just that His Highness was too cute just now." Qin Feng hurriedly suppressed his smile: "As for the matter of giving five taels of silver, I will definitely honor it by signing the signatures and pledges with the candidates who move in. How dare I hide it from His Highness?
.”
Cute... Xiao Lingyao has lived for so many years, and this is the first time that a man has praised her like this. Some have praised her for her good looks, and some have praised her for her grandeur. However, the word "cute" is clearly used to praise children.
!
Xiao Lingyao glared at him, Qin Feng hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Isn't your highness hungry?"
"Of course I'm hungry. I can't eat or drink well as soon as I enter the palace. Do you think it's easy to play chess with my father? You can't lose too hard and you can't win clearly. It's so embarrassing." Xiao Lingyao said: "
What’s delicious in the kitchen today?”
Qin Feng really didn't know this, but he was tired and hungry now. The two of them entered the small kitchen and saw that there were a lot of ingredients for the day. There were mushroom and chicken soup that Bai Qian had stocked up, and
He had braised the beef before.
Qin Feng simply ordered stir-fried beef with soy sauce, a side of hot and sour potato shreds, a side of boiled green vegetables, and some soup, which was just right. Since the establishment of this small kitchen, the original cooks in the princess's house were almost only used by the servants.
He only cooks and cooks, but rarely takes care of his master.
If Qin Feng was not in the house, Cao Jing would also go to Yuchun Tower to pack things for Xiao Lingyao, which made the cook in the house worry about being kicked out of the house.
Fortunately, these days, I don't feel sorry for him. There are many fewer people in the house now, life is easier, and there is no shortage of money.
Xiao Lingyao found that Qin Feng didn't like to use rare ingredients when cooking, and preferred home-cooked food, which catered to her taste. She had never eaten rare things in the palace, but this kind of folk food was more interesting.
.
Hearing what she said, Qin Feng smiled and said, "I'm really going to ask Yuchunlou to serve two rare dishes. They are all well-intentioned. It's good to cater to Chunwei."
Those candidates from the official family are willing to spend any amount of money in order to cater to the good fortune. When the affairs of the guest house are on track, things will start over there. He is from a poor family, and the official family wants both ends.
To catch.
He only said that it was a dish with good intentions, but he did not make it clear that he was obviously trying to show off. Xiao Lingyao was used to him being like this, and she would not rush to ask questions, as if chasing him. The two of them were enjoying themselves, and someone knocked on her
When the door came in, it was Cao Jing.
Cao Jing was seen holding a ball of paper in his hand with a solemn expression. Xiao Lingyao did not avoid Qin Feng. After opening it and reading it, she actually smiled.
"The Queen worked really hard for her eldest brother's future, and she actually used things like this as a bargaining chip with her father to let the eldest brother join the civil service!"
Xiao Lingyao threw the paper ball into the stove and burned it. Cao Jing said: "Kunning Palace has dealt with a group of palace residents. They are all old people brought by the queen when she entered the palace. It can be seen that she and the Chen family are ready to break up."
Qin Feng was confused by what he heard. Xiao Lingyao saw that although he was curious but did not inquire, she smiled and said: "I can't help you if I tell you. Our empress reported to our father that his father was secretly looking for gold mines. He wanted to
Use this to support the Northern Army."
Damn it, this old man of the Chen family is so brave! If he has gold mines to support the army, then the Zhenbei Army can get rid of the shackles of the imperial court. In the future...
Qin Feng's face became solemn: "The Chen family has great ambitions, but why should he support the Zhenbei Army? Raising tigers will cause trouble?"
"He is just useless." Cao Jing said: "He must want to support the Marquis of Zhenbei. If the Marquis of Zhenbei really rebels and takes the throne, and he replaces him, it would be a fool's errand!"
It is true that Chen Tianxiao was adopted by them, but if he has a strong army and a strong horse, he is freed from the control of the imperial court and obeys the orders of the Generalissimo of the Army. Who would care about him, an old man named Chen? Chen Tianxiao is not an orthodox member of the Chen family!
Qin Feng sighed in his heart, the Chen family has been divided into three. Mr. Chen is not seeking skin from the tiger, he wants to take advantage of the evil!
He then thought again, such private information could only be overheard by people close to the emperor, except Eunuch Hong, who? Qin Feng looked at Xiao Lingyao, their eyes met, she already knew what he was thinking, and she frowned slightly
head.
Sure enough, it is Mr. Zhao Lun and Zhao. This chess piece buried next to Emperor Yuan may not be easily activated. This matter is important and only Zhao Lun can find out if he is close to Emperor Yuan. A seventh-grade master must eavesdrop on the conversation in the palace.
It's not difficult either.
This time Xiao Lingyao and Cao Jing did not avoid him at all, which made Qin Feng feel warm in his heart. At this moment, he felt that he was completely in the same boat. Qin Feng murmured to himself: "The Queen is going to use this move to order
Xiao Lingzhao joined the official department, the official department, why the official department..."
This dynasty's prowess in digging gold mines is tantamount to treason. The Chen family is only looking for gold and has not yet mined it. However, this matter will definitely make Emperor Yuan furious. Why can Empress Chen still use this as a bargaining chip? Is it because she expected that Emperor Yuan would not do so at this time?
Touch her?
