female concubine

Chapter 206

Three days later, on March [-]th in the third year of Qianyuan, the palace examination was held in Jiying Hall.

The Jinshi Imperial Examination and the People's Palace Examination take a re-examination of the poems, Fu, and theories of the Ministry of Rites Provincial Examination, three sessions, and the examination is limited to one day.

In the early morning of the [-]th, before dawn, thousands of provincial candidates rode horses and carts to Ouchi. The candidates in white shirts in front of the Xihua Gate in Miyagi dismounted one after another, and their horses were brought back by their family boys.

The sound of drums came from Ouchi, reverberating in the four corners of the palace city, and the officials of the Taishi Bureau of the Bell and Drum Academy said in a loud voice, "Chaoguang hair, ten thousand households open, and all the ministers pay homage...Mao is the right time!"

——Boom! ——Boom! ——

The hikers quickened their pace amidst the sound of drums. A simple carriage was parked near the Xihua Gate. A white robe stepped out of the carriage. As soon as he got off the carriage, he smelled a light fragrance of flowers.

Zhang Hou raised his head and was stunned for a moment, then smiled at a clean and dashing young man in front of him, "Brother Wang came so early, his face is full of joy, it seems that this three yuan must belong to Wang Jiezhi."

Wang Wenfu rode on the horse and only hugged Zhang Hou with a fist, and then continued forward, "People are raging, drums are blowing, and the sleeves are windy at five o'clock; the moon is hazy in the sky, and the horse is empty; the clothes are full of fragrance, the road is full of clouds, and the phoenix Flying around the body; a group of people on the Nijingjiang Festival, introducing Lord Yuhua."

After entering the palace, the servants will guide them to the seat list in the front yard of the Jiying Hall, and everyone will be seated according to their number.

The school examiners were still in charge of the two Zhigongju officials of the provincial examination and officials from the Ministry of Rites, and the servants sent the box containing the new examination questions to Jiying Hall for the examiners to unpack in public.

After the time-changing drum of the Bell and Drum Academy rang, Zhigong lit the incense seals and said, "Start the test!"

The Chuigong Hall is located on the left side of the Jiying Hall, and the corridors in front of the halls are connected. The school examiners and servants go back and forth through the corridors of the two halls to report the palace examination situation to the emperor.

"The official calligraphy is getting more and more sophisticated, and the villain feels that he has the potential to catch up with Lu Xiang."

"He has been writing for half his life, and he is already proficient in calligraphy. I am just scribbling and painting." The emperor put down the pen and looked up at the screen in the Duo hall. On the way, to expand the armament... The deficit of the third division really makes me feel more than I want but not enough."

"When the canal is unblocked from east to west, the north and south will be able to make up for the deficit of the third division."

"Yes, don't worry."

The light on the blue tiles on the east side of the pavilion gradually moved westward and then disappeared little by little. The palace examination in the Jiying Hall lasted from daytime to sunset, and the sky gradually dimmed, leaving the last strategy.

The former provincial attendants who were inspecting the Jiying Hall rushed into the Chuigong Hall in a hurry.

"Officials."

"finish exam?"

"Going back to the official's house, the last test is still going on but the sky is already dark, the two Zhi Gong asked the villain to come to the official's house for instructions."

"Give candles a delay."

"Yes."

The Dianzhong Province carried thousands of candles prepared into the Jiying Hall, and lit the candles for lighting in the curtain of the provincial eunuchs.

There are only two words in the final exam question, two prominent characters, state affairs.

Juren in various provinces have different understandings and answers are not the same. Accompanied by candlelight, many juren wrote a dense piece of paper and then crumpled it into a ball of paper and discarded it. Sometimes they fell into deep thought and sometimes frowned bitterly. Those are very few.

The new emperor had only been on the throne for three years, and the candidates were completely ignorant of the emperor's disposition and love, so they relied on the examiner's preference in the essays they answered.

At night, when the emperor was about to go back from the Chuigong Hall, he ordered the chariot officials to go around to the front of the hall and go to the Jiying Hall, but only stopped in the corridor for a while.

The veil hanging beside the curtain fluttered gently with the night wind, and the candles in the seats flickered with the wind. Some of them fell asleep while thinking with their heads propped up due to fatigue, and almost knocked over the candlestick in a trance. Fortunately, there were only a few Drops of wax and tears dripped onto the test paper.

The patrolling examiner found out and approached quickly, and relighted the candle for him after several reprimands.

The emperor returned to the inner palace on a shoulder chariot, and when he passed the Funing Hall, he found that there were lanterns in the hall, "Wait a minute."

"Is there anyone in there?"

Qi Liu stepped into the Palace of Funing from the side of the chariot, saw the palace attendant carrying the lantern of Palace of Kunning in his hand, so he came out and reported: "Going back to the official house, he is a saint."

"Sanniang?" The emperor spread his hands towards the chariot officer, and walked down from the shoulders of the chariot into the Funing Hall. Except for the fire, there were a few footsteps in the originally quiet hall, and the two red and white carp playing in the pond were frightened. After that, they separated and fled.

"It turns out that the begonias in Funing Palace are also blooming." The emperor approached the courtyard of the main hall of Funing Palace.

"All blessings to the official family."

"All blessings to the official family."

The emperor waved at several female envoys, "At the beginning of the month, a servant from Qiandi came to inform that the crabapple in the garden was blooming, and it was the first branch in Tokyo this year."

Xiao Youqing turned around, "Is the imperial examination over?"

The emperor shook his head, "We are still discussing the policy, and the results should come out tomorrow, and the roll call at the Chongzheng Hall will be delayed for another day."

"This year, many people... at noon, the courtiers and concubines could hear the noise of the Jiying Hall in the Kunning Hall."

"This year there are nearly [-] applicants, and it is estimated that there will be thousands of scholars. Let alone this," the emperor stepped up and took Xiao Youqing's hand, "Let's wait until tomorrow to solve tomorrow's matter."

"I'm a little tired." Xiao Youqing looked at the Begonia flower and then stared at the emperor again.

"What's the matter?" The emperor raised his hand to cover her forehead worriedly, "Did you catch a cold?" Then he touched his forehead again, but found nothing abnormal.

Xiao Youqing shook his head and leaned into the emperor's arms, closed his eyes and said, "I'm just a little sleepy all of a sudden."

The emperor lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead, and said softly, "Go back?"

Xiao Youqing rubbed against her arms, "Okay."

The emperor bowed and picked him up by the waist, turned around and stepped out of Funing Hall, the two carp swam back under the lotus leaves that avoided the light.

The Kunning Hall is just north of the Funing Hall, so the emperor did not take the chariot again, but walked back with her on foot. During this period, the servants and palace servants carrying palace lanterns bowed their heads to avoid the two sides of the aisle.

After the group left, the palace servants carrying the lanterns walked back to the road and looked back at the backs of the emperor's personal courtiers. Scarlet colors flickered from time to time among the scattered figures, "I hope the officials and saints can always be so good."

"Of course the officials will always be like this with the saint."

"I don't even know whether I envy officials or saints."

"Is there a difference? Emotions are mutual."

———Boom boom boom boom! ——— "The sun is about to fall, the fish is under the key, and the dragon is clothed...Xu time is here!"

"Oh, let's go quickly, it's late and Shang Gong should be punished."

------------------------

In Kunning Palace, two children sitting on the swing seemed to be waiting for something. Zhao Xi leaned on Wei Zongren's shoulder and fell asleep, while the boy with the horns pierced looked up at the sky, looking at the galaxy.

Zong Ren stretched out his hand in the narrow-sleeved robe and scratched a few shining stars to string them into a colander, "I found it."

Zhao Xi was awakened by his brother's excitement, "What did brother find?"

"Ziweixing, I can find it by myself, I'm going to tell Sister Zhen tomorrow."

"What is Ziweixing?" Zhao Xi asked innocently.

"Master said it was Emperor Xing, that is, Daddy."

"Uncle?" Zhao Xi looked up at Xinghe, puzzled, "But the stars are all in the sky, how could it be Uncle?"

"I..." Zong Ren lowered his head, "I don't know, it's just what Master said."

"Officials."

"All blessings to the official family."

After hearing someone coming back, the two children jumped off the swing and ran forward happily.

"uncle."

"Father, mother..." Zong Ren dragged his sister and paused for a moment.

Xiao Youqing opened his eyes and withdrew his hand hooked around the emperor's neck, "The officials let the ministers and concubines come down."

"Just a few steps."

"The children are here."

"So what, you are my wife, not someone else."

Zong Ren's personal palace attendant, Wu Shi, stepped forward, bowed and said a few words in a low voice, and the two children bowed to each other and retreated.

"The two children are still so young, the officials are leading them badly."

"I think the two of them are a perfect match."

"Xi'er likes to cling to Zongren, but the concubine always feels that Zongren is more diligent in finding the second sister's girl, so she runs to the Ninghe Hall when she has nothing to do, but how can a few children know what love is?"

"Second sister's girl...Wei Zhen?" The emperor bowed and placed her gently on the wooden couch.

"Ah."

"I've changed the surnames of the clan for the two of them... Hey, two half-grown babies, isn't it too early to worry about it?"

"The concubine is just worried about this sign."

"There is nothing to worry about, his future marriage will be decided by you..."

"Compared with courtiers and concubines, didn't the officials realize that he actually listens to the officials most?"

"He is still young and doesn't understand anything, so of course he is obedient. Who knows what will happen when he grows up."

Xiao Youqing stared at her for a while, and swallowed back what he was about to say. Seven years later, the emperor's attitude towards his son's tepid affection remained unchanged, and there was no hatred but no pity in his eyes.

The person who was aware of it said again: "Well, I'm sorry, he is your son, I shouldn't say these things, I will raise him as the crown prince, if he is filial enough, he won't let me be a child What happened back then, at least I don’t hate him because of you.”

"Why do you say sorry?" Xiao Youqing raised his head.

"If you think it's not enough, I will try to change it, and it's fine to order the crown prince, as long as my sister..."

Xiao Youqing pulled her skirt and pulled her to the front of her body, staring at her with Danfeng eyes, "How could I force you to accept it? Your apology makes me feel very narrow."

The emperor blinked, "I didn't mean that, the narrow person has always been me."

Xiao Youqing let go of the hand that was pulling hard, and turned his head away from looking at her.

The emperor looked at her blankly, and immediately said in frustration: "In my sister's heart, is this child more important than me?"

"... "

"It doesn't matter whether you are a prince or not, even if you adopt one from the clan, I don't want you to force yourself because of me, and I don't want you to make changes for anyone. You are you, and in Xiao Youqing's eyes, you are unique. "Xiao Youqing turned around, "So I don't want you to turn your attention to anyone, how can I do something contrary to what I hope but keep asking you to do it?"

The emperor opened his eyes wide, "Sister...is she finally willing to say it herself? You really care."

Xiao Youqing was stunned for a while, then turned his head away, frowned and said, "I hate you."

The emperor took her by the hand and wrapped it around the willow waist, "It turns out that my sister will still give in and show weakness."

Xiao Youqing gently pushed her away, "Get off of me, I don't want to talk to you."

"I do not."

"I hug you, what else do you want to do?"

"What did my sister say?"

"Aren't you tired of the official palace exam after a busy day?"

"It's neither me nor my invigilator, so how can this tired word get on me." The emperor took Xiao Youqing into his arms, "However, I have to get up early tomorrow, and I will let my sister go tonight. The smell on my sister's body It smells so good, even if you hold it, it’s comfortable.”

"Okay, go to sleep."

At four o'clock in Xu time, the Golden Bell rang in the Jiying Hall, and the provincial examiners stopped writing and handing in the papers. The internal servants collected the papers, sealed the papers and confused their seats, and the editors numbered them and sent them to The Transcript Institute handed over to the Transcription Commander, who commanded hundreds of scribes to transcribe the copies overnight, and finally sent the copies to the closed room where the examiners of the schools were located. Presented to the emperor.

Zhaoguangfa... The first three sentences are changed to the format played by Jishang, which is divided into two types: night and day.

The heroine is a very vengeful person, Zong Ren is just a chess piece to secure the throne for her (for now)

Zong Ren is many times better than the heroine when he was a child. Some people cherish him as the only son of an official family, while others respect him.

In fact, the official family also had the empress (aunt)'s love when they were young (it's just that the empress died a little early.)
