Chang'an [Rebirth]

When Chai Zheng handed the bracelet to Ruan Linshuang, he shrank his hand deliberately, "Is this my dowry for you?"

Ruan Linshuang pursed her lips, "It's a bride price."

"..." Xiao Ruan became more and more proficient at teasing, Chai Zheng looked around Zhang Junzi's polite face, but furtively looked around, and finally pulled Ruan Linshuang's wrist, and pulled him into his arms.

Ruan Linshuang's body had a desolate fragrance of ice and snow, but this dress might have belonged to her father when he was young, and there was a faint smell of pine needles, and they were very harmonious with each other. Chai Zheng couldn't help sniffing at the side of her neck again.

"Are you a dog?" Ruan Linshuang couldn't help pinching the soft flesh on the back of Chai Zheng's neck, wanting to lift him up, but Chai Zheng was pulling like an octopus, so he almost lifted his feet up up.

After a while, Chai Zheng said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. There are people blocking the door of your house all the time. In the past two days, more and more people are blocked. I don't think you can find a place to stay. Little Ruan, what are you doing?" from."

"Most of the people Zhao Qian sent had never met me. The housekeepers, maids, and even cooks allowed me to pretend to be me." Ruan Linshuang said, "These people go in and out every day, so it is not easy to be suspected... Besides, I doubt the importance of the imperial examination. Zhao Qian had to acquiesce in this matter, otherwise my two surnames alone would not be reported."

What Xiao Ruan said is also a solution, but unfortunately Chai Zheng is outside, it is difficult to communicate with the people in the Xiangfu, and it is impossible to deceive others, so it is not feasible for her to pretend to be a maid or cook.

For the grand examination of the palace, the streets around the examination room should be cleaned first, and then everyone should be informed to lock their doors and lock their doors, and no noise is allowed. This alley is quiet and secret, which is suitable for tenderness.

When Chai Zheng was in Mobei, he was with Xiao Ruan every day, but in this peaceful city of Chang'an, the chances of the two meeting each other became less and less, sometimes for several days they just wanted to inquire The news of the other party has to go through all kinds of troubles.

"Chai Zheng, I can't stay outside for too long. If it takes a day or two at most, or a few hours at least, people will find out that something is wrong." Ruan Linshuang also misses Chai Zheng very much, but she understands her situation better. After a while, he patted Chai Zheng on the shoulder and said, "I have to go back."

Chai Zheng sighed, tore off Xiaoruan's body that she had worked so hard on and threw it aside, she yawned and left the quiet and deep alley first, muttering, "Let's go, let's go do something big." Ruan Linshuang escaped after Chai Zheng left Banzhuxiang.

There are eyes everywhere in Chang'an City. Although they might not be able to recognize Chai Zheng and Ruan Linshuang, it would not be nice if there were rumors that "the two students had a private meeting in a narrow alley during the big exam".

Whenever Chai Zheng was locked up at home and had nothing to do, since Zhao Qian picked Ruan Linshuang to be the princess, he became silent, and he didn't even ask about the whereabouts of Sun Qi's mansion. Zhao Qian secretly sent someone to inquire. Gu Hensheng refused to continue to work for Zhao Qian because "the great revenge has been avenged, and I just want to spend the rest of my life in the clouds and wild cranes". Now that Dai Xuan is dead, this kind of quack is not controlled. Even if Zhao Qian has the greatest authority in the whole world, he can't please Gu Hensheng.

But what Zhao Qian couldn't figure out was that Gu Hensheng had already completed his mission and poisoned Chai Zheng, almost killing her in hell. How could he stay in Chai Guogong's mansion?After so many years, Lin Lang's temper has become so gentle that she can not avenge her daughter's murder, or did she just want to die without any worries, so she waited for her to be sent away?

Chai Guogong's mansion has its own guards, and everyone acts cautiously. Zhao Qian really can't put a nail in to observe the situation, so all the above are pure conjectures with no basis. Zhao Qian also planned to inquire about the situation from Chai Ji, but Chai Ji is a typical nerd, and his words are watertight. He only said, "Sister She's condition has improved and is recovering. It's just that her ears and eyes have been affected. I'm afraid she won't recover for a while."

These remarks were all taught by Chai Zheng in advance. Although Chai Ji didn't know why, he had already seen the edict of the first emperor. Even if it seemed that he was still a scholar who was dedicated to his duties at this time, he had no choice but to guard against it. Zhao Qian I couldn't find anything out of his mouth. At first, he said kindly that uncle cared about him, but later it all became business affairs.

The list of the Dajing Civil and Military Palace Examination must be reviewed by the emperor, including name, age, household registration, and rankings in the provincial examination and general examination. If someone recommends, the recommender must not be lower than the fifth grade, and the relationship with the recommendee must be clearly written A few days ago, Zhao Qian saw two people above——

Ruan Yuzhang recommended his nephew Ruan Daxue, and Zhao Linlang recommended his nephew Chai Xiaozhong.

"..." Zhao Qian is not a fool, he can see that these two people are fooling around.

Ruan Yuzhang has no nephews, but Zhao Linlang has several nephews, but the surname is unlikely to be Chai. These two families obviously want their daughter to take the imperial examination. Zhao Qian originally wanted to veto it with a big stroke of a pen, but the red-eyed priest from Mu Sang But he clapped his hands and shook his head beside him, saying yes, "These two people have a predestined relationship, and they are destined for fame and fortune. If they are cut in half, it will lead to even worse consequences."

Although Zhao Qian was unwilling, but Mu Sang Red-eyed Priest had been by his side for more than ten years, and he never made mistakes in anything big or small. Even people who didn't believe in him at first are paid like gods now.

Since it is unavoidable to have fame and fame, it is better to unblock them than to block them. Outside the court, these two little girls can still be free. Once they are in official positions, they will inevitably fall into the predicament of uploading and ordering. There are many things that even if they are unwilling don't do it.

Therefore, Zhao Qian not only allowed to enter the exam, but also asked those examiners with good eyesight to recognize them, to pretend to be blind for a while, and not to make things difficult for the two girls.

In the end, he saw Chai Xiaozhong's name on the martial arts roster. There were not many Dajing civil and military students, and most of them who studied were out of breath after running for two steps. Although the generals were not illiterate, they had to take the imperial examination It's too embarrassing. At most, you can pass the provincial examination, but you can't go up.

The civil and military are also self-conscious about each other, and they don't compete for food. After a hundred years of Dajing, so far, very few people have been able to take two exams at the same time and pass the exam.

Zhao Qian had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. When he was in the army, everyone only knew Chai Yuandao but not Zhao Qian. Even though he was only providing food and grass behind the scenes, it was normal that few people mentioned it, but "jealousy" is a kind of unreasonable Things, even if Chai Yuandao only has two hairs longer than him, Zhao Qian will care about it.

Up to now, Chai Yuandao has a pair of children, Chai Ji is very talented, already a young talent, every time it is mentioned in Chang'an City, there is no shortage of compliments, only Chai Zheng is stubborn, so many years of traveling here and there, even if he makes great achievements, he can only do it outside the Great Wall , not to mention that she left behind the notoriety of "kidnapping" the princess many years ago.

Zhao Qian found a sense of superiority in Chai Zheng. At least his daughters are gentle and intelligent, and they can be considered smart if they can read and write in the palace. Let Chai Yuandao beat him again.

Just when Zhao Qian was looking at the candle and thinking about his ninety-five honors, and he lost to Chai Yuandao in everything, Li Duan suddenly reported at the door, "Your Majesty, the maid from the Queen Mother's side hurried over and said that something happened, you Do you want to go and have a look?"

When Zhao Qian was handling official business, the entire imperial study room was not allowed in except for Priest Mu Sang, and even Li Duan was not allowed to enter. If there was an important matter, it could only be communicated through the door curtain.

After a while, seeing no movement inside, Li Duan said again, "The eldest princess has arrived."

The pen in Zhao Qian's hand suddenly landed on the paper, leaving a large ink blot on the edge. He said in a gloomy voice, "Prepare the sedan chair!"

These two are the only children of the empress dowager today. Ever since Zhao Qian ascended the throne, she has moved to the corner of the Buddhist hall under the pretext of "concentrating on worshiping the Buddha". And the care of dozens of court ladies and eunuchs, but it is somewhat inconvenient.

After the death of the first emperor, the Buddhist hall was not repaired and cleaned up. Zhao Qian originally wanted to be more thoughtful, at least repair the glazed tiles, but the current queen mother also declined, saying that it was unnecessary. There is no sense of intimacy at all.

On the contrary, Zhao Linlang often ran to the Queen Mother, and occasionally brought Chai Ji with her. Since the Queen Mother fell ill, she ran more frequently. It seemed nothing to others, but Li Duan had stayed in the palace for too many years, and knew Zhao Qian's temper. The widow, let alone the married sister, even the queen who shares the same bed, watching the grown-up son, can't gain much sincerity from him.

Occasionally Li Duan felt that the throne was terrible, he had the power in his hands, but he had to guard against the people of the world, and occasionally felt that he was pitiful.

"Did Lin Lang come here alone?" Zhao Qian rubbed his forehead on the sedan chair, and he asked suddenly, which caught Li Duan off guard.

"The Eldest Princess originally came alone. It is said that the Empress Dowager wanted to see her granddaughter, so she took the Young Lord into the palace overnight."

On the surface, Li Duan seemed to be unmoved, and he responded very decently, but in fact, his hands and feet were cold.

I just ignored this detail. It would be fine if Zhao Qian didn't mind, but now he deliberately asked, and he said it himself, the nature is different.

"Oh." Zhao Qian finally just responded lightly.

Li Duan felt that he was going to pee his pants in fright.

The one who carried the sedan chair was a Kunlun slave, who was strong and walked quickly. Zhao Qian squinted his eyes and rested for a while, and the Buddhist hall had already arrived.

This place was originally used by the first emperor to cultivate his health and nature when he was old. The Buddhist hall is in the west courtyard, and the main courtyard is also a large bedroom.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, Zhao Qian smelled a smell of herbs. His mother had been ill for a long time and was drinking medicine almost every day. The hospital was too far away, so Zhao Qian specially called a doctor who was proficient in pharmacology. People came to take care of her, but the disease still didn't get better, and it even developed into serious illness a little bit. Even the best imperial physician was powerless.

In addition to this herbal smell, Zhao Qian also saw Chai Zheng squatting in the yard at a glance.
