On the day when the rankings were announced, there was joy everywhere in the capital.The No. 30 scholar chosen by His Majesty is Xu Chengyu, which also seems to confirm that Xu Chengyu is not without talent, but was tired of rumors, and for a while overwhelmed Zhang Xinyuan, who was second in the list, by most of the limelight.Tanhua is a Confucian scholar in his [-]s. His policy theory is mainly about how to improve the construction of the Yellow River dams. He is a rare technical talent.

Tanhua, the No. [-] scholar, played Ma Yu Street with many Jinshi and others, and it was very lively.Xu Chengyu, the number one scholar, and Zhang Xinyuan, the second place in the list, are both young talents and handsome men. I don't know how many people want to marry them.

The imperial street in front of the palace gate is really crowded with people, everyone wants to see the handsome man of the champion, and the hairpins, rings, handkerchiefs and sachets thrown down from the upstairs on both sides are probably enough to open a shop.

Ming Chuan was standing by the window of a pavilion, and beside him stood Jing Hua wearing a veiled hat.Jinghua was also looking down, this was the first time she had left the palace, and seeing such a lively scene, she was really dazzled.

Jinshi's team passed Mingchuan and the others downstairs, and the girls nearby dropped their things one after another. Jinghua was eager to try, and Mingchuan said with a smile: "Let's play like them."

Jinghua held the handkerchief in her hand, as if she couldn't let it go, she quickly tied the handkerchief in a knot and threw it out, not daring to see if it hit anyone.

Ming Chuan looked at it, but there were so many things that his eyes were dazzled for a while.

Their team slowly walked away, Ming Chuan yawned, in order to be able to come out today, he made Rong Shang a lot of trouble last night.Yan Ke looked at his tired appearance, and said at the right time: "My lord, Miss is here today, it's not advisable to come out for too long, go back as soon as possible."

Ming Chuan nodded, and smiled at Jing Hua: "We'll see each other well at the En Rong Banquet."

Jinghua's face was reddish, and her eyes were bright: "Thank you, brother."

The Enrong Banquet is set up in the Hanlin Academy according to the etiquette system. From the ministers reading the scrolls to printing the scrolls, supplying, praising and other deacons will come, the degree of boredom is comparable to that of the Great Court Meeting.

But Mingchuan wanted to choose a son-in-law for Jinghua, so it was not easy to hold a banquet in the Imperial Academy. Mingchuan changed the Enrong Banquet to the Royal Courtyard in the name of Rongshang.Jinghua stayed in the attic near the lake, observing the group of Jinshi condescendingly.She felt embarrassed herself, and even brought her cousin from the Empress Dowager's mother's house to accompany her.

My cousin is a very bright girl, leaning against the window, holding a light copper binoculars in her hand.

"Are you here to come and see?"

Jinghua sat at the table, holding a tea bowl, and said softly, "Why are you in a hurry."

"How can you not be anxious about choosing a husband and son-in-law?" My cousin pulled her to the window: "Look, these people have come in."

Jinghua had no choice but to take the binoculars and put it in front of her eyes to look over there.

The Royal Courtyard is magnificent and exquisite in layout, which is not comparable to ordinary gardens.These new scholars have been in different postures since they entered the garden.Some people don't show their faces, they seem unaware of the dignity of the royal family, some people tremble and hesitate to go forward, some people have envious eyes and ambitions in their eyes.Everyone is different.

The banquet is ready, Mingchuan and Rongshang sit on the upper seat, and the lower ones are divided into two sides, the relevant officials are on the left, and Xinke Scholars are on the right.Ming Chuan likes to be lively, and the screen that separated him from everyone was also removed. He won't stay here until the banquet is over, and he doesn't want to be bored on top.

When Ming Chuan sat down, everyone worshiped first and then sat down. The banquet started, and the dishes were served one by one. Songs and dances were played in the courtyard. It was a very solemn and elegant music, which made Ming Chuan drowsy.

After the music, it's time for the new scholars to perform, or compose a poem, or talk about a tune and play the flute. Most of the courtiers who are optimistic or supportive have prepared something, and the atmosphere is quite lively for a while.

Ming Chuan supported his head, watching with relish.Rong Shang was by his side, and he could reach it as soon as he stretched out his hand.Not interested in these things, he poured a glass of wine and toasted Ming Chuan, who also raised his glass and relatively drank it down.

He put down his wine glass, and Yan Ke held him a chopstick of fresh bamboo shoots to suppress the wine.Ming Chuan looked over to Juzi, and saw Zhang Xinyuan sitting upright, Xu Chengyu focused on the table with chopsticks in his hands, and he couldn't see how many winks Chen Shang gave him.

Ming Chuan looked amused, and asked aloud: "What do Zhuangyuan Lang think of this table?"

Xu Chengyu quickly put down his chopsticks, and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that this table is worthy of being made by the royal chef of the palace, like this steamed pig's trotter belly, which is fat but not greasy, delicious and smooth, and this spicy dish Rabbit, full of taste."

Few people at this kind of banquet really wanted to eat, so the portions of the dishes were very small. Looking at Xu Chengyu's table, the spicy live rabbit dish was almost gone.Ming Chuan also likes to eat this dish, but Rong Shang doesn't eat meat, he thinks this kind of dish is heavy and not a way to keep healthy, so he is never allowed to eat more.

In an instant, Ming Chuan felt evil from his gallbladder, and said: "I saw that Zhuangyuan Lang didn't enjoy eating to the fullest, let the imperial dining room make two more, and I will have a taste too."

Xu Chengyu saluted immediately: "Thank you for your grace." This appearance is more grateful than when he was the number one scholar.

Ming Chuan didn't care about the different looks of everyone, he tried his best to straighten his back, ignoring the cold gaze from the master of the state teacher, looking forward to the long-lost spicy live rabbit.

That spicy live rabbit made Ming Chuan very satisfied.Rong Shang glanced at the little emperor and said nothing, presumably he was preparing to settle accounts after the fall.

It's almost time, Yan Ke signaled Ming Chuan to leave the meeting.Ming Chuan got up and read a few words of congratulations, and everyone bowed again.Amid the congratulations, Rong Shang followed Ming Chuan and left the banquet.

Before leaving, he did not forget to reward Zhang Xinyuan with the three copies of "Mencius" he copied so hard.Zhang Xinyuan got up to thank En, with a calm expression on his face.

Rong Shang had something to do, so he left first. In order to prevent Ming Chuan from sneaking out of the palace while he was away, he simply asked Ming Chuan to rest and change clothes in the small building of the other courtyard.The two took a step back, Ming Chuan didn't go to play outside the palace, and Rong Shang didn't let Ming Chuan go back to the palace immediately.

Yan Ke brought a cup of tea to relieve Ming Chuan's spiciness, and asked, "Didn't Your Majesty say that the Minister of the Central Court and that Zhang Xinyuan formed a party? Why do you still praise him now?"

Ming Chuan held the tea bowl: "I'm just joking in front of the national teacher, Zhang Xinyuan is a downtrodden son, how can he have such a good hand and eye? The ministers of the court and the central government will help the fellow countrymen a little bit, no more. Besides, I think this Interesting people."

Just as he was talking, Jinghua came in from the outside, and blessed Ming Chuan.

Ming Chuan waved his hand and told her to come and sit down.

"Are you interested?"

Jinghua hesitated for a moment, and said: "What do you think of the second place, Brother Huang?"

"Zhang Xinyuan?" Ming Chuan was a little surprised: "Why did you fall in love with him? Isn't the number one scholar Xu Chengyu more popular?"

Jinghua smiled embarrassedly: "People like Mr. Xu are too flamboyant. Mr. Zhang, on the other hand, looks very down-to-earth, like someone who can live a life."

Ming Chuan nodded with a smile: "You are smart."

As it was getting late, Mingchuan took Jinghua back to the palace.Candles were lit in the Zichen Palace, Ming Chuan was waiting for Rong Shang to have dinner together, he wanted to tell Rong Shang about Zhang Xinyuan, but he provoked him during the day, so he had to bend over and give in at night.

There was only orange peel left on a plate of Zhangzhou tangerines, Ming Chuan propped his head, suddenly felt unbearable pain in his stomach, like being stabbed by a knife.Yan Ke hurriedly supported him: "Call the imperial physician, go and call the imperial physician."

The little eunuch went away in a panic, Yan Ke looked down at Ming Chuan, only to see that his face turned pale after a while.

When Rong Shang came back, the imperial physician had already prescribed a prescription, Ming Chuan was crouching under the quilt with a pale face, and Yan Ke was feeding him the medicine.

"What's going on?" Rong Shang's voice was filled with wind and rain.

The imperial physician tremblingly said, "Your Majesty ate rabbit meat earlier, and then tangerines. The two things are incompatible with each other, resulting in abdominal pain."

Rong Shangsheng frowned, "Didn't I say that oranges are too cold to eat too much?"

Yan Ke knelt down behind his back carrying him to bring oranges to Ming Chuan. Rong Shang didn't like this man at all, and he didn't even want to look at him right now: "Pull it out..."

"Ouch" the voice was interrupted by Ming Chuan's groan, Ming Chuan frowned and moaned, even if there was a bit of pain, it looked very like this.

Rong Shang naturally understood what Ming Chuan was thinking, and said after a pause: "Your Majesty needs someone to take care of you now, and I will spare you first."

Yan Ke kowtowed, reached out to get the medicine bowl, and Rong Shang let him go out first.

Yan Ke glanced at the weak little emperor on the bed, bowed his eyebrows and went out.

Rong Shang waved away the others, picked up the medicine bowl and fed Ming Chuan the medicine.Only then did Ming Chuan open his eyes, his face was pale, and there was a hint of flattery in his smile.

"What's missing from you on weekdays? Why are you so greedy?"

The boss of Ming Chuan is no less than a person, and he was embarrassed when he heard the words: "I won't dare again in the future."

Rong Shang was very gentle at the moment, after feeding the medicine, he even stuffed Ming Chuan with a candied fruit.

"Still uncomfortable?"

Ming Chuan nodded, his pretty brow wrinkled like rice paper.

Rong Shang rubbed his knuckles on the side of his face, and said, "I should teach you to have a good memory."

Ming Chuan smiled, and said: "The people in Zichen Palace are very hardworking, don't punish them."

Rong Shang's face was pale, and he rolled up the thin quilt, "I just like that Yan Ke so much."

Ming Chuan thought it over and said: "It's not true, it's just that they are about the same age, and they are not as boring as the old people in the palace."

Rong Shang snorted: "You like to have no rules."

Knowing that he agreed, Ming Chuan said with a smile, "I'm just a person who has no rules, and I'm just talking about others."

"You still have some self-knowledge."

Ming Chuan laughed twice, and said again: "Jinghua came back and told me that she fell in love with Zhang Xinyuan. But I don't think Zhang Xinyuan is a good match."

"Princess of the royal family, who is not a good match?" Rong Shang said casually: "Zhang Xinyuan has no foundation. After the princess is married, he must serve him respectfully, which is much better than the high-minded young masters in the capital. "

Ming Chuan has a private shadow in his heart, he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can he know what is going on in the homes of people outside the palace now.

After thinking for a moment, Ming Chuan said: "In this matter, we still have to be cautious. It's best to look at that Xinyuan again."

Rong Shang was about to laugh angrily at this little thing who was so aggressive: "Your Majesty, you still want to go back to the palace?"

Ming Chuan looked at his face, and said: "It's good to be able to go out and meet him, but it's not impossible if you can't go out, it's just to find another way."

Rong Shang looked at him, and only looked at Ming Chuan with a guilty conscience, he averted his eyes, and moaned that he felt uncomfortable.

Rong Shang thought it was funny in his heart, but he also knew that Ming Chuan was very boring in this palace, if he was focused on Ming Jinghua's marriage, he could probably have something to do.Because of Ming Jinghua's and Zhang Xinyuan's marriage, being able to make Ming Chuan happy for a moment is also the luck of those two.

Rong Shang thought for a moment, and said: "If Your Majesty wants to leave the palace, I will naturally agree. It's just that Your Majesty is not in good health now, and if he goes out of the palace again, what might happen?"

Seeing that Ming Chuan didn't say anything dead, his eyes lit up immediately: "I must take good care of my body!"

Rong Shang nodded: "That's it. Just now the imperial physician wrote some medicinal recipes for nourishing the stomach. Don't forget to eat them, Your Majesty."

Medicinal food is really unpalatable. Medicine is not medicine, and food is not food. In Mingchuan's words, it is really a waste of food.

But compared to the big event of going out of the palace, this medicinal diet is not unbearable.

The Enrong banquet was about to end, and the news of Xu Chengyu's banquet spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.The minister who was acquainted with Xu's family couldn't help laughing and said: "It is indeed a legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

As soon as Xu Chengyu stepped into the house, he knew that Xu Shoufu was waiting for him in the main hall.When he entered the room, he hadn't changed his outfit yet, and Xu Shoufu felt a headache from seeing it.

"You know what's wrong?"

"My son doesn't know."

With a crash, the high-quality official kiln teacup was broken in front of Xu Chengyu. Xu Chengyu roughly estimated the price, and couldn't help saying: "Three and a half roast ducks."

Xu Shoufu hated iron for being weak: "You only know how to eat?!"

"Of course not." Xu Chengyu said: "Today my son can see the holy face, and I feel deeply."

Xu Shoufu slowed down: "Let's hear it?"

Xu Chengyu said: "Your Majesty has a gentle temperament today, not like the idiots that the rumors say." He recalled what he saw at the banquet, cupped his hands, and said: "I wish to have this Mingjun as my master."

Xu Shoufu's face was serious, and he didn't reprimand his son when he heard what he said, but asked in a vague way: "What virtue does he have that can teach you to bow your head and submit to a minister like this?"

Xu Chengyu said: "At the banquet, His Majesty gave his son a spicy live rabbit, and his love for this meat is not fake. My son thinks that His Majesty is a like-minded person!"

Xu Shoufu:······

Xu Shoufu was furious: "Absurd!"

Seeing that Xu Chengyu was so popular, he didn't dare to speak.Xu Shoufu turned around with his hands behind his back, and said: "You know that father is always a party of the national teacher, and the national teacher is the wise king and holy lord of my Jin Dynasty! How can you not be loyal to the national teacher?"

Xu Chengyu thought for a while, and his face was heavy: "But the national teacher, he doesn't eat meat!"

The author says:

small theater

Xu Chengyu: I like to eat meat.

Mingchuan: I like it too.

Xu Chengyu: Good friend!
