[Rebirth] Talking Fox

Bai Li woke up lying on You Qing's chest, raised his head to meet his warm eyes with a smile, and happily leaned over to rub against his chin. Although he could only be gentle in Xue's house, but now his heart Very stable, not as obsessed with the bridal chamber as before, untied the knot in my heart, even if I just fell asleep in his arms, I felt extremely happy.

You Qing raised his hand to caress his soft hair, thinking that the two of them were almost separated forever, he felt sore and happy at the same time, took his face and kissed him again and again at the corner of his eyebrows and eyes, his lips were full of tears. The hard-won treasure, it took him a long time to let him go, and said softly: "Get up in a while and accompany me to clean the house. I have lived for so long, and I have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express my gratitude."

"Oh!" Bai Li nodded, and got tired of him for a while before getting up and getting dressed happily.Now he is full of joy, and wherever he goes, it is like a holiday. The joy in his eyebrows and eyes can easily infect others, making these candidates who should be uneasy waiting for the list to be in a bright mood.

You Qing said that he asked Bai Li to accompany him, but in fact he was reluctant to let him do the work. He cleaned the inside and outside of the house with his own hands, and the bedding was hung out in fine weather to make it fluffy and soft.I have lived here for a long time, no matter whether I pass the exam or not, I should leave.

After cleaning, he has to prepare a thank you gift. He is a poor scholar. If he buys something and sends it to the prime minister's mansion, it must be wrong. If he can't afford it, he can't afford it, and it's so bad that others don't like it. Besides, this is the emperor's favor, so thank you to the prime minister. If you pass it, you will be disrespectful to the emperor, and you must be careful with the measure.So after a short nap in the afternoon, he began to study ink and paint, and now the only thing he can get out is Danqing.

You Qing has always had a keen mind, and he has been trained in observing words and expressions since he was a child. He can naturally see that Xue Cheng has some thoughts about Bai Li. The prime minister has never set foot in this other courtyard again, perhaps because his mind has faded.

Now that he has regained his memory, remembering that Prime Minister Xue had been his best friend for a lifetime, and even helped him several times, he realized why Bai Li insisted on calling him a benefactor, and couldn't help laughing.He understood Prime Minister Xue's personality, so presenting this picture of a strong horse was in line with his elegant and unruly temperament.

After the painting was completed, it was not sent there on the same day. Instead, he took Bai Li around the capital, found a clean and affordable inn and booked a room. After the palace examination, it still depends on the arrangement. If you go back to the rented yard, it will be more convenient, just pack your bags.

The second day was the day when the list was posted, and the emperor wanted to summon all the newly passed Jinshi, so the two got up very early.You Qing removed the sheets, mattress covers, etc., washed them, and dried them outside. After everything was done, it was still before dawn, knowing that Bai Li would not stay here obediently and waiting for him, so he couldn't help but look carefully before leaving. I gave some instructions.

When the time comes, all Jinshi will wear official uniforms and three-branched nine-leaf crowns, and stand in front of Yong'an Gate. Afterwards, they will enter the palace together with the princes and officials, and they will be listed after the east-west shifts of civil and military officials. The gift of knocking.

When everything was ready, the officials of Honglu Temple began to proclaim the "System": "On the first day of March in the 48th year of Yuanchang, the tributes of the world will be tested. birth."

You Qing was listening carefully, when a familiar smell suddenly came to his nose, he raised his eyes, unexpectedly, Bai Li was standing beside him, with puffed cheeks, tilted his body and poked his head out, with a look of wanting to see the hall but also wanting to be close to him tangled look.You Qing quickly retracted his gaze, couldn't help being angry and funny, now that he has recovered his immortal power, no matter how invisible Bai Li is, he can still see him, that fool is still in the dark, standing here carelessly .

After the "System" was announced, there was a long roll call from the hall: "One Jia, one, You Qing!"

You Qing was stunned, never expecting that he still won the number one prize, out of the corner of his eye, Bai Li happily brought his face closer, and kissed the corner of his lips, then he came back to his senses, and quickly regained his composure and composure , After listening to the roll call of the general in the main hall, he repeated it twice, and under the guidance of the Honglu Temple official, he went out of class and knelt down on the left side of the royal road.

Next, the No. [-] and No. [-] names were called three times, Yudao knelt behind the right side, the No. [-] and three Tanhua rolls were called three times, and the left side of Yudao knelt down, followed by the No. [-] and No. [-]. You Qing didn't pay attention to the roll call.

Occasionally in the past dynasties, some champions changed hands. The examiners handed over the examination papers and results to the emperor. If the emperor saw that the champion was not to his liking, it was entirely possible to swap him with the person he originally liked according to his own preferences.But this kind of thing can't be done often, unless the emperor really cares about it.

You Qing thought secretly, wondering if he had encountered such a thing, if so, it meant that the emperor was very determined, thinking this way, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

In fact, he guessed pretty close.The article he wrote this time is indeed worse than that of his previous life, but the article is like a man, no matter how he changes it, it is written according to his temperament after all, how can his strength of character and wit be changed in just a few hours? Lose?

When the examiner presented the examination paper to the emperor, the emperor frowned upon seeing it. Looking at his writing and talent, he was obviously an extremely rare and insightful talent, but the content described in this article seemed a bit perfunctory.

The emperor was curious, so he asked someone to take a look at his exam papers during the general examination, and now he had some calculations in his heart, and felt that this You Qing was not easy.

Speaking of the glory of the number one scholar, but not every generation of number one scholar will be reused. Moreover, once the number one scholar is won, it will become the focus of attention. If one is not careful, the title of number one scholar may become a burden instead.This You Qing is obviously very talented, but he deliberately wrote poorly. It seems that he is not only extremely confident in himself, but also quite calm, but he is a smart person!

The emperor pondered for a long while, remembering his calm and calm appearance he saw in the palace examination, he really liked it in his heart, so he made a decision immediately, and pressed the name of the number one scholar on his head, replacing the original number one scholar with Second place.

You Qing really didn't expect it, he didn't know that he would be self-defeating.

After the roll call, the emperor returned to the palace.The officials of the Ministry of Rites held the list on a cloud tray, led by the yellow umbrella, and walked to Yonganmen. Behind them, Wu Lala followed a large number of civil and military officials and Jinshi. You can go out through the main entrance, and other Jinshi also walk through the door.

The main gate of Yonganmen is specially designed for the emperor, so it is not easy to open. Except for the emperor, only the empress can walk once when they get married, and the top three in the palace examination can walk once when they come out after the roll call. You Qing is the top of the gold list. Walking in the middle is naturally extremely eye-catching.

Bai Li grinned when he saw his family's Ah Qing being so favored, and followed them out of the main entrance swaggeringly, as if he had won the number one prize.You Qing caught a glimpse of the smug look on his face, couldn't laugh or cry again, and almost couldn't help but hug him into his arms and rub him.

The yellow list was posted, and the number one scholar led the other Jinshi to read the list together. There were many spectators around the palace gate, eagerly looking forward to watching, and eagerly waiting for the next horse-racing parade.

According to the custom, the top three in the palace examination need to ride a horse around the capital after the yellow list is posted. One is to show the mighty grace of the emperor, and the other is to urge the folk students to let them know that the imperial court advocates education and respects talents.

Three tall horses stood energetically outside the gate of the palace, and the guard of honor was also ready. The top three walked up to the horses together, and the sound of gongs, drums and suona suddenly shook the sky.You Qing stepped on the stirrup and turned on the horse neatly, adding a bit of heroic demeanor to his elegant and handsome appearance, which attracted the praise of the people around him.

Bai Li raised his head, staring blankly at You Qing like this, in a daze for a moment, felt that his appearance seemed familiar, as if he had seen him a long, long time ago.

The No. [-] and Tanhua behind him are both feeble and weak scholars. Looking at the tall horse in front of them, they feel uneasy. They are afraid that they will not be able to climb up and lose someone at the gate of the palace. A block was placed next to the horse's belly, and it was only then that he stepped on the block and got on the horse smoothly.

You Qing thought that Bai Li would follow him on the horse, but waited for a long time and no one came up, feeling puzzled, couldn't help but glance at him, but saw him staring at him in a daze.

Bai Li caught his sight and woke up suddenly. Before he could blink, he turned his gaze away, as if he didn't look at him, but swept past him casually.Bai Li thought he couldn't see him, so he didn't think much, happily jumped on the horse, sat behind him, and put his arms around his waist.

You Qing's face was calm and calm, but there was an imperceptible smile in his eyes, and he urged the horse to move forward amidst the sound of drum music.

The number one scholar paraded through the streets, and people from every household ran out to join in the fun, and the capital once again boiled.All of a sudden, the front shouted and the back embraced, the flags and drums opened the way, the cheers were thunderous, and the cannons shook the sky.

Bai Li leaned on You Qing's back, with his hands around his waist, thinking of all the things in his previous life, and felt that his Ah Qing was really amazing, he could stand out in everything, but unfortunately, he could only watch silently by the side. watching, watching secretly.Now that he is alive again, being able to cling to him so tightly and share the joy with him, the joy in his heart is so full that he has the urge to cry.

You Qing couldn't see his expression, but he could guess what he was thinking, and wanted to hug him to his chest with his backhand, but the people around him were all onlookers, so he had to smile to the left and right.

The guard of honor moved forward slowly, and walked to the bridge where they used to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival. Bai Li, on a whim, didn't want to sit behind him anymore, so he stood up and lightly jumped in front of him, sat down again, and hugged him again , looking up at his warm smiling face, couldn't help but nibbled lightly on his chin.

You Qing's Adam's apple twitched, took a deep breath, and pretended not to know.

Sitting in front of him, Bai Li felt more down-to-earth. The momentary melancholy before disappeared without a trace, and he became happy again. Seeing him keep clasping hands to the people around him made his heart ache. I was almost so sore that I couldn't lift it up, and I couldn't help turning my head to make faces at the people on the side of the road.

Seeing his childish behavior, You Qing's smile deepened, thinking about what he once said that he wanted to sit in a sedan chair together, he couldn't help but sighed secretly.

I don't know if the emperor will still want to give him a marriage in this life, he is ready to resist the decree, and it will be comfortable to take Bai Li to travel around the world.Not being able to ride a sedan chair together, but being able to ride a horse together today, can be regarded as making up for some regrets.
