Chapter 198 (1/2)

After some discussions, the Empress Dowager and the emperor Xia decided that this time, the imperial court's magistrates' competition should adopt the system of ”three games and two wins”. Ye Lingyue and Yaobin would conduct three rounds of competition, with one point in each of the three games. Only when the winner was finally won, could he become a court official.

”The first round of competition was presided over by AI Jia. My wife and Princess ye, come with me. ” The Empress Dowager with two women, to the summer palace medicine store.

The medicine storehouse is divided into two parts: Pharmacy and danfang. What the Empress Dowager brings ye Lingyue and Yaobin into is danfang.

There are different sizes of medicine bottles in the pill room, which display some commonly used three to four kinds of pills.

Imperial concubines, princes and daughters in the palace can receive a certain amount of pills according to their grades every month.

For pills with five or more grades, you must have the instructions of the Empress Dowager before you can get them. As for pills with more than six grades, it is even more rare. Only when the princes and daughters who have made great achievements or are especially favored are on the verge of breakthrough, the Xia emperor will give them in person.

Looking at the wide array of pills bottles, ye Lingyue and my concubine are dignified. I don't know how the Empress Dowager will test them.

When the Empress Dowager raised her hand, two eunuchs came forward and covered their eyes with two black napkins.

”As a court scribe, the first priority is to be able to identify all kinds of pills and prevent some of the bad quality or even poisons from flowing into the court. In front of you, there are ten kinds of pills, none of which are marked with names. AI Jia wants you to identify the grade and name of these pills by your hands and smell in a single stick of incense. ” After the Empress Dowager said, she ordered ten bottles of pills to be put in front of Ye Lingyue and my pin respectively.

We should know that the prescription's identification of pills depends on the color, aroma and taste, which blindfolded their eyes, greatly limiting the accuracy of identification of pills, and undoubtedly increased the difficulty.

Xia Di and Longyu master were waiting anxiously.

Fortunately, ye Lingyue and my concubine are both calm minded people. After being stunned for a moment, they quickly come back to their senses.

After half a column of incense, they both wrote down the names of ten kinds of pills almost at the same time.

The Empress Dowager ordered the paper with the name of the pill taken in and took a look.

”The results have come out, the first round of competition to identify pills, the winner is Princess Ye.” As soon as the Empress Dowager opened her golden mouth, her face changed and her teeth bit her lips.

My concubine is a teacher of famous family. She can't help her by covering her eyes and identifying pills.

She has absolute confidence that all the pills she wrote are correct.

Even the little four cauldron square Princess ye, also all guessed the pill, two people at most can only be a tie, can not be the other side to win.

The Empress Dowager is obviously partial to each other.

But my concubine is just a concubine. Naturally, it's hard to question the decision of the Empress Dowager. She can't, but Xia Di can't. My Concubine looks at Xia Di wrongly.

That look, Rao is a seven foot tough guy, can also instantly turn into a soft around the fingers.

How can Xia emperor make my concubine suffer injustice.

”Empress mother, you are clearly unfair. The pills written by my concubine and Princess ye are obviously the same. Even if it is really necessary to divide them into different levels, it should be a tie.” Xia Di just peeked at the two women's paper. If they were right, the names of the pills they guessed should be the same.

”Oh? The emperor is questioning the decision of the mourning family. My concubine and Princess ye, you all come forward and have a look at each other's answers. ” The Empress Dowager glared at Xia di.

Xia's empress dowager shakes his head in secret, but he doesn't understand it.

Although the Empress Dowager doesn't like my concubines, she is definitely not the kind of person who can turn right and wrong into black and white. The more emperor Xia protects my concubine, the more she dislikes my wife.
