Chapter 096 This is My Underwear

Cai Tianxi was annoyed that he spoke without thinking. Seeing that Yin Ji didn't move, he quickly tried to make amends: "This servant is really bad. Miss Xie has just recovered from a serious illness. Even if there are some inappropriate things, Your Majesty is kind-hearted and must not do such a mean thing."

Yin Ji was silent for a long time before speaking. His eyes wandered a little. The fierceness just now was gone, and his tone was strangely softened: "Do you also think that it's a bit mean to drive her out?"

Cai Tianxi heard the subtle change in his tone and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, that's what I think."

Yin Ji raised his hand to his lips, coughed twice awkwardly, and then spoke: "I think so too. Although I dare not compare myself to Yao and Shun, I can't be a tyrant."

Cai Tianxi was instantly moved: "Your Majesty is kind and virtuous, which is a blessing for all people."

Yin Ji coughed twice again and looked at him again.

In this look, both of them saw a little embarrassment in each other, and the shame of lying shamelessly to cover up some truth.

So, they turned their heads away tacitly. Although the rest of the road was still long, the master and servant did not say a word again.

It was not until the Chongzheng Hall was in sight that they cheered up and completely forgot about the little episode just now.

Today is the day of the announcement of the results. The students are restless and the court officials are also a little distracted.

Not to mention that the four major families are still looking forward to the position of the Hanlin Academy, even other court officials want to take advantage of this announcement to choose a son-in-law for their daughters. This time, the number of poor children is the largest in decades. If they can be recruited into the mansion, it will definitely add some glory to the family.

However, this eager anticipation was not exchanged for the joy of the announcement of the results, but Qi Yan's memorial: "I think the results of this imperial examination are not accurate."

The court officials were in an uproar, and Xiao Chi could not wait to step out: "What does this mean, Lord Qi? The students have studied hard for ten years and finally got into the examination room, how can it be inaccurate?"

Qi Yan did not explain, but knelt straight down the steps and presented a memorial with both hands.

Yin Ji looked at him, his eyes slightly sank. He had clearly told Qi Yan not to interfere in this matter in advance. Today, someone would bring up the matter in front of the whole court, and he didn't need to be the first to speak out.

But he was so disobedient.

However, it was too late to cover it up now.

"Show it up."

Cai Tianxi hurried down to get the memorial. Fortunately, Qi Yan was not too stupid. He did not openly confront the four great families. He only said that a poor student sued the aristocratic family for forcing him to change his name during the imperial examination to make wedding clothes for others, and there were other examiners who helped him.

Yin Ji seemed to have just learned about this today. He was furious and threw the memorial to the ground: "This kind of thing actually happened in my great Zhou Dynasty. Investigate, investigate it thoroughly for me!"

The court officials were shocked by the thunderous anger and fell silent. Xiao Chi took the opportunity to stretch his neck and take a look at the memorial. Seeing that the poor student's surname was Chen, his heart suddenly bulged.
