It was already late at night, around the inn, suddenly there was an elegant guzheng music, at first the night watchmen and the surrounding shops didn't pay much attention, and secondly, there were no people around.But at the end of listening, even people who don’t know Guzheng can hear that there is a sense of sadness and helplessness in the sound of the zither, and the sound is occasionally passionate and sad, as if there is an inexplicable feeling in the heart of the player. .Later, more and more squatting and sitting people listened to it. Everyone was wondering who played the guzheng music in this guest room. There was also a young man in a Chinese dress in the crowd, standing there. He played the folding fan and listened to the music with an expression of appreciation on his face.At the end of the song, Li Suya was also fascinated, until Chu Binger knocked her on the head. "You play the guzheng really well, it sounds very nice." Li Suya seldom praises others, but this female ghost really plays the Guzheng very well, and she feels ashamed of herself.Seeing that the other party praised her, Chu Binger blushed and said, "Master, if you like to listen to it, I will play it to you every day." Twist!Li Suya was in a good mood at first, but after hearing this, she immediately became embarrassed. She got up and said, "It's getting late, let's go to rest." Does this woman insist on pestering herself?I really don't understand what she likes about me.

Early the next morning, Li Suya was still asleep when she was awakened by a knock on the door.It turned out that a few guards came from the palace with a man who looked like an eunuch. At first Li Suya saw those guards and thought her identity had been exposed. Later, she learned that today is the day when the candidates' results are announced. Li Suya Her grades were ranked No.1, so the palace sent someone to pick her up.Hearing this result, Li Suya didn't quite believe it, but the eunuch urged her repeatedly and showed her the gold list, so she couldn't be confused now, so she had to wash up briefly, she didn't have anything to take with her, but she had something She can't forget.

After leaving the gate of the inn, Li Suya was startled, when did it become so lively outside the gate!The whole street was crowded with people, and the main street was cleared by guards in golden armor. Outside the door of the inn stood a steed, covered with gorgeous gold thread and red flowers, and behind it were hundreds of people. The drum music guard of honor is very majestic.

Li Suya stayed there not knowing what to do, the eunuch reminded her to hang up the red flowers and ride on the horse.Riding on the horse, looking up at the crowd around her, Li Suya felt like she was going to faint. She never imagined that one day she would be named on the gold list, which is the dream of many scholars in the world, but she got it.Palace Examination No. 1, you have to straddle a horse and parade through the streets, and then enter the palace to receive the emperor's reception and reward. Li Suya was riding on the horse, feeling nervous and anxious, and almost fell off several times.Then she suddenly heard, "Idiot, why are you nervous, be careful not to expose your secrets." It was Chu Binger's voice.

"I'm a little scared." Li Suya said in a low voice.Chu Binger continued, "Don't be afraid, with me, even if the emperor discovers your identity, I will protect you." With her words, Li Suya's heart became stronger, so she straightened her posture , and began to return the salute with airy clasped fists...

The top three candidates in the palace examination and those who will participate later will be given a "Rongrong Banquet" by the Emperor at the Ministry of Rites. This "Rongen Banquet" is also called "Qionglin Banquet".

One minister represents the emperor's gift to everyone, the number one scholar has a seat alone, the second place and Tanhua share a seat, the remaining Jinshi have a seat for four, and the examiner also attends the banquet. As for the unsuccessful Jinshi, each of them will also be given 300 taels of silver, which is not a small amount.The Qionglin Banquet was held in the back garden of the palace. It was the first time Li Suya had seen such a large and beautiful garden, full of strange flowers and plants that could not be named.The emperor hadn't arrived yet, Li Suya chatted casually with those candidates who also attended the Qionglin Banquet.At this time, Li Suya's arm was touched. She turned her head and saw that it was the young man from last time. She hadn't seen this man since Chu Binger disturbed him that day, and he was in high school too.

"Brother, I just guessed that No.1 this time is you." The young man smiled.Li Suya said embarrassingly, "Aren't you here too? I don't know who you are?" It is already very good to get a reputation among tens of thousands of candidates, in fact, there is no need to worry about the ranking.Li Suya actually felt pretty good about this person, so she started talking to him.Just as this group of future national talents chatted with each other and waited for the emperor to visit, a discordant quarrel broke out in the emperor's apse!The cause of the matter was what was said earlier, the emperor wanted to marry off his daughter.

Princess Fenglin was sitting on a chair, looking very angry, while the queen kept persuading her.The emperor's face was ashen, and he sat in the middle without speaking. The atmosphere in the room seemed tense. "Yu'er, you are not young anymore, you can't always be alone, your father is also doing it for your own good." The queen felt sorry for her daughter, but her husband's temper was also her own.

"I said before that I am the master of my marriage, and I don't want anyone to interfere with my private affairs." Just as Yu Wuhen said this, the emperor slapped the table and said angrily, "Presumptuous! I think you are always I learned from those dubious people outside, and I don’t have any etiquette.” Yu Wuhen was not afraid of the emperor’s wrath, maybe because she was used to self-will, she stood up and said, “Anyway, I don’t care, I don’t want to marry some champion , if you want to marry, you can just find someone to marry!" After finishing speaking, she was about to leave here.The emperor seemed really angry, and he said, "Okay, I can leave you alone, if you don't listen to me this time, you can find a prince from a subordinate country to marry, anyway, you can make some contributions to the country , and several of your older sisters are like this too."

When Yu Wuhen heard this sentence, her body trembled a little. Historically, royal princesses married foreign princes as a political marriage, but it would be really cool to let her go to those remote countries as a hostage and marry a stranger. Life is better than death, so she softened her attitude and said, "Father, are you really so willing to marry me off?" in a slightly aggrieved tone.

The emperor heard some grievances in his daughter's voice, and the anger in his heart dissipated. He sighed and said, "I didn't force you, you always want to marry. Do you know that a few days ago, the barbarians in northern Xinjiang sent The envoy came and said that he wanted to marry our country. I always said that the princess was young, and the barbarians in the northern borders always wanted to invade our southern dynasty. If they found out that you were old, they would think that I was deliberately refusing, and they would have a reason to start a war in the future. But I don't want you to marry me, so I came up with such a way, instead of marrying those savages, it's better to marry an outstanding talent, Yu'er, you understand our painstaking efforts as parents, besides, do Can parents harm their own daughter?"

The emperor's words silenced Yu Wuhen. She was not unaware of the fact that the barbarians from northern Xinjiang came to propose marriage. Some rumors also spread to her ears, but she didn't want to pay attention to them. Seeing her today The emperor's father said seriously, and it seemed that he was inseparable. "Father, what happened today is the fault of the child, and I will apologize to you." After finishing speaking, Yu Wuhen knelt down, "Father, since you have difficulties, I don't want to bother you, if that If the candidate is really as good as you said, then I am willing."

After Princess Fenglin left, the queen wiped away her tears and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that scholar is okay? But with his temperament, Yu'er will probably..." The last time the emperor saw Li Suya, the queen said Observing her in the darkroom on one side, perhaps because of Li Suya's superb disguise, the queen didn't realize that the other party was a girl.I just think that the other party is very handsome, but he is a bit feminine and has a slow temper. If he really becomes Yu'er's husband, I am afraid that he will not have a good life in the future, and Yu'er doesn't like people with such a personality very much.

The emperor said, "What's the matter? I think that person is pretty good, gentle and elegant. The princess's husband-in-law should be like this. We in the Southern Dynasty are not barbarians like those in Northern Xinjiang. Don't worry, my vision is definitely not right or wrong. When the two get married After a few years, when you have a child, you will be happy, thinking back then, you and I, the empress, were also like this?" The emperor suddenly mentioned this, which made the empress blush slightly. "Your Majesty, I'll go talk to Yu'er again so that she can feel at ease. As for that scholar, I hope he's really good, otherwise, I won't let Yu'er suffer."

The emperor asked the eunuchs around him and learned that the time was approaching, so he changed into a dragon robe and went to see the examinees.Before leaving, he said to the queen, "That child Yu'er is so slippery, she keeps saying the same thing, you have to watch her and don't let her sneak out of the palace." After Yu Wuhen returned to her palace, she said nothing. Lying on the bed, she is a strong girl, so she didn't cry, get married!What a distant thing, but I didn't expect that I would marry a man like other women!She is naturally playful, how could she think of these things... But the attitude of seeing the emperor today, it seems that she can't escape it.

The maid beside her was quite open with her, and when she saw that the master was unhappy, she asked her what was wrong.Yu Wuhen said, "Father asked me to marry, I don't want to, but I can't hide it." The maid said, "Princess, a woman, how can she be alone for a lifetime, if she marries a good man, it's considered a treasure." It’s a good thing, when you’re lonely, there’s someone to talk to, and when you’re sad, someone to comfort you, that’s not a bad thing either.”

Hearing the maid's words, Yu Wuhen thinks about the same reason. Although he is used to being alone, but after all, he has been lonely and sad with one person. If that person is really as good as his father said, that would be good, but she I haven't seen what that person looks like yet.Yu Wuhen doesn't like that kind of gentlemen, especially those scholars. She always feels that they lack a little bit of masculinity, especially the scholars are rather dull, which seems incompatible with her cheerful personality.The maid continued, "I heard that the emperor is going to reward Enke's top three and other Jinshi in the imperial garden. The princess can go and see first." Yu Wuhen's eyes lit up, and she immediately jumped off the bed and said, "That's right. That’s right, why did I forget, I’ll go and have a look first, and if it’s not good-looking, I’ll kill him first! Seeing that he still wants to marry the princess...” Seeing that the princess immediately returned to her previous state, the servant girl spoke absurdly She said helplessly, "Princess, don't be fooled, be careful that the emperor is really angry." Such a little princess is really, I really don't know how her future husband-in-law will face such a 'wife' !
