Little Wife Treasure [Rebirth]
Chapter 117
"What?" The people downstairs who were busy looking at the announcement made a commotion, the whole street was very noisy, Xie Zhao couldn't hear Xie Lin's words clearly for a while, and was about to ask a few more questions, but didn't want Xie Lin to sit back When he got to the chessboard, he calmly said, "One more game?"
Xie Zhao has a gentle temper, seeing this, he just smiled and said, "Come again."
King Yu Xiequ was in no mood to care about the two of them at this moment, he just stared at the list notice in the distance that could not read the handwriting at all, and impatiently waved his subordinates to check out this year's Jinshi list.
"I've won! I've won!" At this moment, a scholar crowded at the front of the notice suddenly flushed and smiled excitedly, and then almost cried out loudly, "Dad, mother, my child is in high school!!!"
"My young master also won! My young master!" A servant standing next to the scholar was also flushed at this time, with his head raised and his chest showing unprecedented pride.
The scholars or schoolboys around them showed bright eyes one after another, and some people searched the list three or four times but couldn't find the name they wanted to see.
"Why is my young master's name not there?"
"Impossible, is there a wrong name missing from this list?"
At this time, a little book boy in the front row showed a puzzled look on his face, and the familiar people around him also said in amazement: "I have indeed searched for this list four or five times, but I have not seen it." Brother Pan's name."
"Is there something wrong, how could Brother Pan not pass the exam?"
Listening to the endless chatter of the people around me, some old people who joined in the fun uttered unhappily: "If you don't, you didn't pass the exam. If you have anything to ask, I'm talking to the person surnamed Xu in your mouth." The scholar is a Wenqu star who came into the world, so it seems that he will definitely win."
"That's right, you don't know if you can pass the exam, do you?" Some scholars who didn't pass the exam didn't know those people, so they happened to talk about it to vent their anger.
The few people who spoke before heard the words and looked at each other in blank dismay.
It was crowded before, and everyone probably didn't pay attention to the people standing around them, but at this moment, those people were suddenly mentioned, and everyone turned their attention to them, so they saw the people in a suit again. Dressed in silk and satin, the faces of several talented scholars who have always been famous in the capital have black and blue expressions.
"We don't have much in mind, and I'm really bothering everyone." Among them, a young man in the lead had an expression on his face, or he couldn't bear the eyes of everyone, so he said to the surrounding people, "Since Brother Pan failed to win the exam, we'd better leave quickly."
"Yes, yes... let's go."
"..."
"Oh, brother Pan failed to go to high school, I still can't believe it in my heart."
"Brother Pan suffered from the wind and cold the day before yesterday, so he couldn't come today. I don't know if it's good or bad for him."
"Several young masters, my young master is still ill, how can I tell the younger one when I go back!"
The servant dressed as a book boy left with a group of talents from aristocratic families with a bitter face. The crowd was silent for a while, and when the figures of the people disappeared and their voices could no longer be heard, someone said in a daze: "Those people are not Jingshan. A student in the academy?"
"I thought I was wrong, why did they come to see the list in person?"
"Brother Pan they are talking about, could it be the young owner of the Pan Family Bank that ended this year? I remember that the young owner of Pan's Bank is the hottest candidate for the number one pick this year. Isn't this the one who bet the most?"
"Master Pan's young master had a cold the day before yesterday, so he got the medicine from the pharmacy along the street." Someone interjected, "It should be this one."
"So—the owner of the Pan family's young master didn't win?!" Someone suddenly raised his voice.
The crowd also burst into chirping in an instant: "The master of the Pan family has a brilliant literary talent. I am still reading the calligraphy left at the major poetry conferences. I don't believe that such a talent has failed!"
"A few days ago, didn't a scholar report to Jingzhao Mansion that someone cheated in this test? Could it be because of this?"
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's because the young master of the Pan family has a bad mentality, or because he failed the exam?!"
Among the people, everyone has their own opinions. For a while, the scholars who won the exam or those who failed have some strange feelings in their hearts. All the highly respected masters of the Pan family failed the rankings, and if I got in, it was because my ancestors burned high incense. As for the scholars who failed the rankings, I was even more comforted—even the masters of the Pan family didn’t win.
As for the current mood of the owner of Pan's young master?
He had a high fever, and he was worried about his ranking. When the book boy came back from outside the mansion, with a hesitant expression on his face, he knew that something was wrong.
The owner of the Pan Family Young Manor smiled wryly: "But the ranking is not very high?"
The book boy shook his body, shook his head and dared not speak.
The master of the Pan family felt that something was wrong. He thought that although his performance in this test was not [-]%, but he also used [-]% of his skill, so he frowned and asked. :"how?"
The book boy was frightened, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and sobbed, "Master, you, you failed the ranking."
The master of the Pan family thought he was hallucinating, and his heart felt like it was beating: "Say it again?!"
The book boy closed his eyes, he was dead anyway, and repeated: "Master, you failed the ranking! You failed the ranking!!"
The owner of the Pan family's young master rolled his eyes and fainted on the couch in an instant.
Pan's chaos was inevitable, but King Yu Xiequ's side was very satisfied.He looked at the familiar names on the notice copied by his subordinates, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed, but because of the existence of the prince and Xie Lin, he could only suppress those complacent and radiant faces of the chess players. The two said: "This year's exam went so smoothly, it is all thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Zhao dropped his son, shook his head and said, "I'm just supervising from the sidelines, so I shouldn't be my second brother saying that."
Xie Qu smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was full of respect: "How could it be, His Royal Highness, don't underestimate yourself."
As he said that, Xie Zhao was curious about the list of Jinshi this year. Seeing this, King Yu asked his subordinates to hand over the list to him, with a hint of a villain's success in his eyes.
Sure enough, the crown prince Xie Zhao who took over the announcement roughly glanced at the names on the list, and his brows frowned slightly, as if he was a little puzzled.
Yu Wang Xie Qu deliberately asked: "The prince thinks there is something wrong?"
The prince was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "...No."
King Yu still wanted to take the opportunity to say something, but Xie Lin suddenly interrupted Xie Qu with a faint voice: "His Royal Highness, it's up to you to settle your son."
The prince came back to his senses and smiled apologetically.
A game of chess ended in a hurry, the prince was hiding something in his heart, and soon lost to Xie Lin.Seeing this, Xie Lin didn't pull the prince to continue, but King Yu suddenly became very excited, and wanted to play a few games with him no matter what.
Xie Lin said lightly: "Second brother is in a good mood, why don't we add some color to the scene."
When King Yu was proud of himself, he took a black piece and dropped it on the chessboard, and asked, "Well, what does third brother want from elder brother?"
Xie Lin was not polite to him, and said bluntly: "I heard that my second brother has a villa in the western suburbs. The scenery is just right, there are dense apricot forests outside, and the Dongting universe inside. My brother really yearns for it."
King Yu didn't want Xie Lin to open his mouth, so the lion opened his mouth, he was a little shocked: "..."
Xie Lin raised his eyes, with a smile that was not a smile: "Second brother is reluctant?"
"How could it be?" King Yu forced a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of stern coldness. His dissatisfaction with Xie Lin was almost at its peak, but he had to pretend to be generous and straightforward, and said generously , "Then two wins out of three? If you lose the third brother... I heard that there is a good cook in the third brother's house, can you give it to the second brother?"
Xie Lin had a troubled expression, and said blankly: "Please."
Among the four grown-up princes of Emperor Jin and Yuan, except for the crown prince Xie Zhao, who was always proficient in literature and martial arts in the eyes of the courtiers, he had a biased impression of the remaining three princes.Yu Wang Xie Qu is honest and straightforward, and has a good reputation among civil servants. He has always recited poems and composed geometry, and has left many calligraphy treasures, which are praised by the literati. Qu, Yu Wu may be able to show off one or two fierce, but Yu Wen is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with him.
"Second brother, promise."
Two victories in three rounds, Bai Zi nibbled away Hei Zi's ground and was completely defeated, just like the smile on King Yu's face that was about to be completely unbearable.
As for Xie Lin, his expression was modest and the same as that of Prince Xie Zhaoban, which really made King Yu want to hit someone.
"Biezhuang belongs to the third brother." Enduring the pain in his heart, King Yu gritted his teeth.He could hardly tell how he lost to Xie Lin in the chess game, until he realized that the chess piece was settled, and he was already powerless to recover.
Xie Lindao: "Second brother, you are welcome, wait until next time..."
"Let's make an appointment next time!" Xie Qu hastily interrupted Xie Lin's words, regardless of the surprised look on Xie Lin's face, he got up and said in a hurry, "I remember that there are still some things that cannot be dealt with in the mansion, so let's go first."
After speaking, he raised his sleeves and pushed the door out.
"Third brother, you." Although the crown prince couldn't distinguish the conflict between King Yu and Xie Lin, he couldn't blame Xie Lin after all, so he just shook his head and said helplessly, "You know that the second brother always wants to save face, and you still don't give it to me like this." He saves a little bit of noodles...today, it is rare for you and my brothers to get together, so why bother."
Xie Lin knew that Xie Zhao had always been soft-tempered, so he didn't make any distinctions with him, the two brothers drank tea for a while, and when the sun rose to noon, they went back to the palace or to the palace.
On the first day of the public examination, some people were happy and others were worried. On the second day, the high school students began to prepare for the palace examination, and Prince Jing's mansion also received the land deed that should have belonged to Yuwang Biezhuang.
"Your Highness, what is this?" Bai Guo asked in a mumbled voice as she held a sour plum in her hand and ate something with her mouth bulging.
Xie Lin put the title deed in a box and put it away, smiled lightly and said, "You will know later."
Bai Guo nodded, although she was a little curious, she obediently did not continue to ask, but asked: "Are those scholars who were making trouble outside a few days ago stopped making trouble?"
Yesterday, when the test results were released, Bai Guo thought that if Uncle Chang Ping hadn't passed away, there should be Bai Ke among the scholars who went to Beijing for the test this year, but it's a pity that Bai Ke has to keep a filial piety for his biological father for three years, so he can only participate in the next test.
Just as she was thinking, Bai Guo heard Xie Lin say in a deep voice: "The present calm is just a harbinger of storms to come."
As he said that, the man sighed lowly, stepped forward and held Bai Guo in his arms, and said slowly: "There is going to be a lot of trouble in Beijing."
As soon as he said it, before Bai Guo realized anything, only on the third day after the Jinshi was released, the owner of the Pan family brought a group of scholars to knock on the door of the Wenyuange University scholar, asking the examiner to pass the meeting Exam papers are released in advance.
The scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion didn't want to pay attention to these unreasonable people, and only said to them that the examination papers still need to be submitted to His Majesty for review, if they want to see it, they can only bring it up after the palace examination.
In this way, the owner of the Pan family and his party returned without success.
But at the same time, in Jingzhao Mansion, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, who took the opportunity to get the test papers in his hands on the day when the results were announced, heard the perfunctory words of the next door Wenyuange University scholar to the group of scholars. After snorting a few times, the cold teacup fell heavily on the table, splashing a puddle of water: "This old man really thinks he can cover the sky with one hand."
Peng Zhiqing was sitting on his lower seat, flipping through the test papers that he had obtained so hard, and said with a smile: "The owner of the Pan family is brilliant in writing, and it's not a lie. The writing is even smoother... But this time, I have wronged him."
Jingzhao Fu Yin sneered: "Crowded together with a group of cheaters, even Wenquxing's rebirth may not be comparable."
But Peng Zhiqing asked him: "Since that's the case, what are these similar filers planning to do?"
Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion said: "Wenyuan Pavilion is full of self-satisfaction. I am afraid that I will not find out that these files have already been in our hands in a short time, and I think the fake file they forged has already been sent to the palace... ...So, why don't I follow his wishes, and everything will be revealed after the palace examination."
Peng Zhiqing frowned: "This can catch the other party by surprise, but it is difficult to attract the people behind the Wenyuange University scholar."
Hearing the words, Jingzhao Mansion Yin looked at Peng Zhiqing hesitantly.
Peng Zhiqing said: "Your Excellency, you might as well speak directly."
Jingzhao Mansion Yin said: "No matter what the outcome of this matter is, as long as we only find out the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, let's stop here."
Peng Zhiqing looked at him silently.
Jingzhao Fu Yin said: "Even if you know who it is, if you can't pull him off the horse this time, have you ever thought about the future?"
Peng Zhiqing said slowly: "Are you afraid of being retaliated?"
Jingzhao Mansion Yin sighed: "There is an old mother on this official, and there are wives and children on the bottom. I really don't want to get involved in those right and wrong... Zhiqing, you ask yourself, it was only because of that small case back then that it ended up like this." Desperation, is it worth it?"
Peng Zhiqing lowered his eyes and remained silent.
……
The palace examination will be held on the seventh day after the results of the general examination are released. According to the customs of the Great Jin Dynasty, the emperor will give questions on the spot in the palace examination at noon. His Royal Highnesses need to observe from the sidelines. After agreeing, discuss knowledge with the newly promoted Jinshi. After everything is over, the emperor will hand-picked the top three.
This year's palace examination was slightly different from previous years, and it was a coincidence that the palace examination coincided with the Empress Dowager's birthday. The Qionglin Banquet was held one day earlier, together with the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, so that the Empress Dowager and her elders would be more happy.
When it was the day of the palace examination, Xie Lin changed into the robes of the prince, and personally changed Bai Guo into the attire of the princess. He held her in his arms and looked at it before and after, and then said in a deep voice: "The empress dowager is kind, please rest. Let the servant help you to rest in the side hall, if you are bored, you can go to the East Palace for a while."
Bai Guo nodded and looked at him with a smile: "I know."
After that, he watched Xie Lin lower his head, couldn't help but raised his head and kissed the man's chin: "I'm waiting for Your Highness in the palace."
Xie Lin's eyes darkened, but he directly sealed the lips and tongue of the person in his arms, exchanging a sweet body fluid.
When the two separated, Bai Guo was out of breath and blushed thoroughly.He was carried into the sedan chair by Xie Lin, and he probably woke up too early, so he fell asleep in the man's arms again. When he woke up, the sedan chair had already arrived at the gate of the palace.
"Is the third sister-in-law here?" Li Xian'er's familiar voice came from outside the sedan chair.
After a while, the tall and tall man got out of the sedan chair with a cold expression. Li Xian'er saw him and smiled coyly, and then said: "Hello, third brother."
Xie Lin glanced at her lightly, and Li Xian'er immediately said: "I will take good care of the third sister-in-law, third brother, don't worry!"
"En." Xie Lin nodded, and said again, "The king received a letter from the Northwest a few days ago. The fourth brother has performed very well in office, and I think he will be able to return to Beijing soon."
Li Xian'er's face suddenly collapsed when she heard this, and she muttered: "What is that damn ghost coming back so soon?"
Xie Lin glanced at her, and Li Xian'er smiled honestly and obediently.
The two of them didn't stay under the sedan chair for much time, Xie Lin went forward, Li Xian'er took the opportunity to step on the sedan chair, and got in to talk to Bai Guo.
Before the carriage moved, Bai Guo brought out a plate of dried fruit. Seeing Li Xian'er stepped into the sedan chair and was about to speak, she saw behind Li Xian'er a nanny holding a white and fat baby also sitting in cautiously.
"This is a tiger baby, right?" Bai Guo's eyes lit up, and he smiled gently at the milk baby.
Li Xian'er took her own son and held her in her arms skillfully, then sat next to Bai Guo, showed him the baby, and said triumphantly, "How about it, isn't my son pretty?"
The milk baby was wrapped in a silk brocade swaddle, and the smooth and tender skin was as soft as tofu. Ginkgo carefully touched his face with her hand, and the milk baby "giggled" and laughed.
This was the first time he saw Li Xian'er's child, and seeing that the baby was printed out of the same mold as Xie Cheng, he couldn't help asking him to touch his stomach, wondering if the baby in his arms would be born after birth. And look just like their father.
It would not be boring to have a child teasing on the road. The tiger baby is still young, and can only spit out a few funny sounds sporadically from its mouth. He is showing off his little fist to him.
Li Xian'er looked at her son's stupid appearance, and couldn't help complaining, "Tiger Baby is exactly like his stupid father."
The two went to the harem together, but because of Bai Guo's heavy body, Xie Lin begged for grace in advance, and the sedan chair went all the way to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.At that time, the Empress Dowager's bedroom was still very lively, all the concubines and concubines came to the Shoukang Palace early to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager also dressed up grandly today, looking very energetic.
"His Royal Highness Princess Jing is here!"
"Princess Qin's concubine is here!"
The voice of the palace people's announcement sounded in the Shoukang Palace, and the smile on the Empress Dowager's face remained undiminished. Seeing Li Xian'er walking in with the help of Ginkgo, the smile became even brighter.
"Quickly show the seats to the two princesses."
The queen dowager is getting old, and she likes to have prosperous and prosperous children under her knees. Earlier, Emperor Jin and Yuan pointed out Shuang'er to Prince Jing to be the princess. issue of offspring.
But now seeing Ginkgo's swollen belly even though her body is covered by loose clothes, the Empress Dowager and the elderly feel relieved, and are extremely satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.
After talking with all the concubines, the Queen Mother first called Princess Qin to come to her side, took a good look at the tiger baby who followed his father closely, and rewarded her great-grandson with a golden lock, and then called Bai Guo Go up and talk to her.
"How many months?" The Empress Dowager asked kindly.
Bai Guo smiled and said: "Go back to the Queen Mother, the child is more than eight months old."
The Queen Mother said: "Then today's birthday banquet, you have to be more careful. If you are tired, you can quickly find a side hall to rest."
Bai Guo nodded, and said obediently: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compassion."
The queen mother smiled and patted his hand: "Ai's family now only hopes that the royal heirs will continue. I am afraid that Princess Jing will not like to hear some words, but Ai's family still wants to say that it is true that King Jing committed murder, and ordinary murderers According to the Buddha, people who are too evil will hinder their offspring, but King Jing is the son of a real dragon, and if you are able to conceive a child now, it is because of the generosity of the heavens, you must be more careful and careful than others."
When Bai Guo heard this, the smile on his face remained unchanged: "What the empress dowager taught is true."
The queen mother saw that he was well-behaved and sensible, so she also rewarded him with a string of beads.
Not long afterward, the Empress Dowager showed a tired face and said, "It's all gone."
All the concubines agreed, got up and left one after another.
Bai Guo also left the Shoukang Palace, the weather was fine today, he raised his eyes to look at the position of the sun, his thoughts drifted away, and what he thought of was that the palace examination in the previous court had just started not long ago.
"Princess Jing." Zhang Guijun walked a step slower, seeing Bai Guo stopped outside the hall, he couldn't help smiling and walked over, "Long time no see."
Bai Guo came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Zhang Guijun, didn't the little prince come with you today?"
Zhang Guijun said: "The child has been coughing for the past few days and is taking medicine."
Bai Guo said: "I see."
While the two were talking, Li Xian'er walked over with Princess Xiaoyu. Zhang Guijun and Princess Xiaoyu were not familiar with each other, so they met and greeted each other. How about going to sit in this palace?"
Concerned that Li Xian'er brought the tiger baby into the palace, probably because she was afraid that the little prince's cough would be brought to others, so Bai Guo said: "Thank you, Mrs. Guijun, for your kindness, but before we entered the palace, we handed the greeting card to the East Palace, so we won't do it this time." It's convenient to disturb the empress's palace."
Zhang Guijun nodded without forcing, and quickly walked away from the others.
"Let's go to the East Palace?" Princess Xiaoyu rubbed her hands and said.
Li Xian'er asked her strangely: "What kind of action are you doing?"
Princess Xiaoyu said confidently: "Curious! Excited! I have never seen what the Crown Prince's East Palace looks like since I grew up! After all, it is the residence that His Royal Highness misses so much. I have to wonder how attractive it is inside. "
Li Xian'er did not expect that Princess Yu could speak so straightforwardly, so she couldn't help asking: "What kind of stimulation did King Yu give you?"
Bai Guo also tilted her head to look at Princess Xiaoyu.
Princess Xiao Yu hadn't seen the two of them for several days, seeing that there were no outsiders around at this time, she wished to pour out all the bitterness of these days to the two of them.
"Do you remember that there was a concubine Xu who was pregnant in Prince Yu's residence before?" Princess Xiaoyu asked.
Li Xian'er cooperated and said: "Remember, it's the side concubine Xu who has a heart higher than the sky, who wants to have a son and then kicks you off the position of wife!"
Saying that, Bai Guo also remembered: "He should have given birth?"
Princess Xiaoyu nodded: "I gave birth."
Li Xian'er asked: "What happened?"
Princess Xiaoyu sighed.
Li Xian'er said: "Isn't it true that this little bitch will be successful and give birth to a son?!"
Princess Xiaoyu shook her head.
Li Xian'er was speechless: "That's a daughter."
Princess Xiaoyu still shook her head.
This made Li Xian'er very anxious: "Say it or not, or if you don't, I won't listen to you complaining about those dirty things in the house in the future!"
Princess Xiaoyu said quietly: "Don't, I said, is it still okay?"
Hearing the conversation between the two of them like tongue twisters, Bai Guo really wanted to laugh, but he was really curious, so he also urged Princess Xiaoyu together: "Sister-in-law, please tell me, so that Xian'er will be happy to hear it." .”
Princess Xiaoyu: "..."
After the three of them had been silent for a long time, Princess Xiaoyu looked at the two pairs of eyes full of desire for knowledge, and finally revealed all the secrets of her own palace.
"Xu side concubine said she was pregnant, but I secretly found someone and found out that he gave birth at the beginning of nine months." Princess Xiaoyu lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "You don't know, although he said he was born, but he was born The baby was not a living thing at all. Later, I found out the midwife who was in charge of delivering the baby that day, and found out through coercion and lure that Concubine Xu used some kind of earthen formula to make herself look like she was pregnant, but in fact, her belly was just pregnant. Got a meat ball!"
"???" Li Xian'er and Bai Guo were shocked.
Princess Xiaoyu went on to say: "However, this matter was kept secret by Concubine Xu. He has stayed in Prince Yu's Mansion for a few years anyway, and he has quite a bit of power in his hands. He even bribed the chief steward of the Palace. The matter was covered up, and I only told King Yu that Concubine Xu gave birth to a boy, but it was a pity that her body was too weak, and she died shortly after birth."
Li Xian'er said: "This person is quite resourceful."
Princess Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Earlier when the former Princess Yu was here, Prince Yu had many heirs who died shortly after birth, so Prince Yu accepted it well, and even because of his love for side concubine Xu, She also took good care of him for a while."
Li Xian'er said: "Could it be possible that King Yu has true love for Concubine Xu?"
Princess Xiaoyu gave Li Xian'er a blank look: "I'm afraid you have forgotten another noble concubine in our family who lives in another village to raise babies."
Bai Guo sensed that the matter didn't seem to be over, so she asked, "Which one...had a safe delivery?"
Princess Xiaoyu then said: "Not only was the birth safe, but maybe because that noble concubine was one of the twins, she gave birth to a boy and a girl at the same time! It's really amazing! But it's a pity at the same time. Although two dolls were born, one of them was taken away by Concubine Xu."
Li Xian'er couldn't help frowning when she heard this: "That's not right, a concubine of yours didn't even pick up a child, how could he have the nerve to snatch a concubine?! Oh, yes, he hugged a boy or a girl?"
Princess Xiaoyu said: "At first I wanted to hug a boy, but I also planned to steal the dragon and turn it into a phoenix, so that the noble concubine thought that she had given birth to a daughter, but the twin brother of the noble concubine stayed by her brother's side and did not let the other party succeed. Concubine Xu wanted to rob someone else's son, but was forced to die by the noble concubine, so she asked King Yu to personally hug the concubine's daughter to Concubine Xu."
When Bai Guo heard this, her heart tightened, and she subconsciously covered her stomach.
Li Xian'er patted the back of his hand to comfort him, and said coldly: "Xu side concubine is really nothing."
Princess Xiaoyu smiled and said: "My Highness and this side concubine Xu are definitely a good match!"
Bai Guo said worriedly: "I think that noble concubine is going to hate Concubine Xu to the bone."
Princess Xiaoyu nodded: "That noble concubine is a pitiful person, so I decided to make him a side concubine. A few days ago, I had already asked the Queen Mother for her will, and now the two of them happened to be in Prince Yu's mansion. I played in the arena every day."
Li Xian'er rolled her eyes and said, "I think you just want to watch a play."
Princess Xiaoyu said: "The left and right have nothing to do every day, and there is a play to sing. I don't like to see them as fools."
Li Xian'er said: "I think you are quite stupid."
Princess Xiaoyu said: "Fourth sibling, do you want to fight with me?!"
Li Xian'er was not afraid of her, she rolled up her sleeves: "Come on!"
At this moment, the tiger baby held by the grandma waved her arms: "Ah!" "Ah!"
ginkgo:"……"
Seeing that the two were about to bicker again, he hurriedly said: "I'm a little tired, let's go to the East Palace to rest first."
This broke the two of them apart.
When the group came to the East Palace, Wen Sushu was supervising Xie He's endorsement. Recently, the crown prince invited Xie He to be a teacher. Although he had no official position, he was a first-class scholar.It's a pity that Xie He is small and can't sit still. He has to be accompanied by Wen Sushu to study with peace of mind.
"Brother!" Xie He was drowsy sitting on the futon reciting the book, and immediately became excited when he saw the little baby being held by the nanny.
Wen Sushu was notified of the arrival of several concubines by his servants long ago, he was not surprised, and quickly found a comfortable cushion for Bai Guo to sit on the couch to rest.
"Thank you." Bai Guo thanked Wen Sushu with a smile, and found that Xie He had finished watching the milk doll over there, and walked over curiously to stare at his belly.
Bai Guo asked: "He'er, what did you see?"
Xie He blushed, hid behind Wen Sushu, grabbed Wen Sushu's clothes and whispered shyly: "A small circle is a younger brother, and a big circle is... two younger brothers!"
The childish words made everyone in the room laugh happily.
Princess Xiaoyu is straightforward and doesn't like to pay attention to those rules, so she came to Xie He and asked teasingly: "Ah, our little emperor's grandson is still a little magic stick, let's show it to my aunt, my aunt's belly What's in it?"
Xie He blushed, stared at Princess Xiaoyu's flat abdomen, and said for a long while, "...Where, Nezha?"
Wen Sushu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he hugged Xie He from behind to the front, and said apologetically to Princess Xiaoyu: "He'er recently learned from the master, and I just heard Mr. Nezha talk a few days ago..."
Princess Xiaoyu didn't mind at all, and even said flatteredly: "If I really have Nezha in my stomach, then I won't be a goddamn god?!"
Bai Guo exclaimed, "That's amazing!"
Li Xian'er was speechless: "Hey, you are enough."
A few people gathered together to chat and make noise, and there were occasional childish chatters between Xie He and Huwa. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire East Palace was unprecedentedly joyful, but it concealed the lifelessness that had been lingering around due to the prince's serious illness in the past few days. .
At the same time, in the Tai Chi Hall of the previous dynasty, the palace examination has also been carried out to a normal level.
Emperor Jin and Yuan posed questions to test and teach, Jinshi answered in class, and several princes and princes watched from the sidelines.
"Why doesn't the third brother finish reading?" The crown prince stood in front of the hall, watching Emperor Jin Yuan walking among Jinshi, stopping to watch from time to time or nodding or frowning and shaking his head, he couldn't help asking Xie Lin beside him with a smile.
Xie Lin said indifferently: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has not ended."
Since King Qin Xie Cheng was still in the northwest, only the crown prince was with him and King Yu this time. King Yu had always had a good reputation among literati. As early as the opening, he asked Emperor Jin and Yuan to come and observe Jinshi with him to answer questions.
The prince smiled when he heard the words, but he said with some regret: "It's a pity that the few candidates I admired before couldn't make further progress. Now these Jinshi are..." He whispered here, but he was embarrassed for a while, and it was not easy to go Let's continue, it seems that if you talk too much, you may look down on this class of Jinshi.
But Xie Lin didn't mind at all, and even said bluntly: "The Jinshi this time is worse than in previous years."
After finishing speaking, there was a faint smell of urine and foul smell from the hall, causing everyone in the hall to cover their mouths and noses and look around.
Emperor Jin Yuan also smelled this smell, and even he was the closest person to this smell-it turned out that the Jinshi standing beside him was scared to pee.
Emperor Jin Yuan: "... come here."
The Jinshi who was scared to urinate instantly threw the brush in his hand, knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare me!"
Emperor Jin Yuan, who really wanted people to drag this Jinshi out and chop him up, turned livid. He opened his mouth, but saw his second son walking over, and asked with a worried expression, "Father, are you frightened?"
Emperor Jin Yuan sighed and said: "Take this person down first, it will be disrespectful and disrespectful to the imperial court!"
King Yu secretly glanced at the other party's appearance and the name on the answer sheet, cursed a useless thing in his heart, but had to comfort Emperor Jin Yuan with a gentle voice on his face, and then he pretended to be surprised and picked up the Jinshi to make a speech. After half of the answer sheet, he said slowly: "This Jinshi's knowledge is not bad, but it's a pity that he is a little timid."
Emperor Jin Yuan frowned: "Oh?"
He placed it in front of the Jinshi who was just passing by, and hadn't stopped to look at his case file, so he took it from King Yu's hand, looked at it from the beginning to the end, and finally his expression softened: "The knowledge is not bad."
There will be no further words.
And there is no follow-up, which means that the other party has secured the Jinshi quota anyway.
King Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help gnashing his teeth secretly.You must know that in the palace examination this time, he invited the University of Wenyuan Pavilion and several well-known scribes to ponder the holy meaning day and night, and only then did he produce a few excellent works aimed at the appetite of the local gods and kings in a few months. Not much, it was only distributed to him and put into the hands of a few scholars under his command, but King Yu didn't expect that there were useless things among these people, and he immediately destroyed one of them, who was expected to get the top three places s work!
The bottom of his heart was full of gloom, but King Yu couldn't say anything and couldn't do anything. Finally, he decided to walk away from the land full of piss and coquettishness, and then casually went to find "good files" from other people.
Xie Lin looked at this scene indifferently, without saying a word, just watched King Yu jumping up and down on the field like a monkey, until he stood beside a person and stopped, with a surprised expression on his face, which attracted the attention of many civil servants around him. focus on.
The time for the written examination of the Palace Examination was only half an hour, and the time passed quickly, and the files were read by a group of civil servants, and finally the best answer papers were selected and presented to Emperor Jin Yuan. At this time, His Royal Highnesses can begin to ask some questions about this group of Jinshi.
In the past, these questions were probably handed over to the prince alone for interrogation, but perhaps because the sons have grown up now, Emperor Jin Yuan has a sense of crisis, so now he prefers to let several people restrain each other , so this year's interrogation has become a place where everyone goes together.
"Please the prince first?" King Yu's expression was full of poise, but he still had to pretend to be modest and respectfully invite the prince first.
The crown prince Xie Zhao frowned, looked around at the Jinshi, and only briefly asked a few people and asked a few words before giving up, obviously lacking in interest.
After Xie Zhao finished, King Yu looked at Xie Lin again: "Does the third brother have anything to ask?"
Xie Lin raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, and said impatiently: "Second brother, ask."
King Yu heard the words and knew that it was finally his turn to play the game, so he took the questions he had prepared and discussed with the scholars under his command, and started talking with them at the end.
those who were named
Xie Zhao has a gentle temper, seeing this, he just smiled and said, "Come again."
King Yu Xiequ was in no mood to care about the two of them at this moment, he just stared at the list notice in the distance that could not read the handwriting at all, and impatiently waved his subordinates to check out this year's Jinshi list.
"I've won! I've won!" At this moment, a scholar crowded at the front of the notice suddenly flushed and smiled excitedly, and then almost cried out loudly, "Dad, mother, my child is in high school!!!"
"My young master also won! My young master!" A servant standing next to the scholar was also flushed at this time, with his head raised and his chest showing unprecedented pride.
The scholars or schoolboys around them showed bright eyes one after another, and some people searched the list three or four times but couldn't find the name they wanted to see.
"Why is my young master's name not there?"
"Impossible, is there a wrong name missing from this list?"
At this time, a little book boy in the front row showed a puzzled look on his face, and the familiar people around him also said in amazement: "I have indeed searched for this list four or five times, but I have not seen it." Brother Pan's name."
"Is there something wrong, how could Brother Pan not pass the exam?"
Listening to the endless chatter of the people around me, some old people who joined in the fun uttered unhappily: "If you don't, you didn't pass the exam. If you have anything to ask, I'm talking to the person surnamed Xu in your mouth." The scholar is a Wenqu star who came into the world, so it seems that he will definitely win."
"That's right, you don't know if you can pass the exam, do you?" Some scholars who didn't pass the exam didn't know those people, so they happened to talk about it to vent their anger.
The few people who spoke before heard the words and looked at each other in blank dismay.
It was crowded before, and everyone probably didn't pay attention to the people standing around them, but at this moment, those people were suddenly mentioned, and everyone turned their attention to them, so they saw the people in a suit again. Dressed in silk and satin, the faces of several talented scholars who have always been famous in the capital have black and blue expressions.
"We don't have much in mind, and I'm really bothering everyone." Among them, a young man in the lead had an expression on his face, or he couldn't bear the eyes of everyone, so he said to the surrounding people, "Since Brother Pan failed to win the exam, we'd better leave quickly."
"Yes, yes... let's go."
"..."
"Oh, brother Pan failed to go to high school, I still can't believe it in my heart."
"Brother Pan suffered from the wind and cold the day before yesterday, so he couldn't come today. I don't know if it's good or bad for him."
"Several young masters, my young master is still ill, how can I tell the younger one when I go back!"
The servant dressed as a book boy left with a group of talents from aristocratic families with a bitter face. The crowd was silent for a while, and when the figures of the people disappeared and their voices could no longer be heard, someone said in a daze: "Those people are not Jingshan. A student in the academy?"
"I thought I was wrong, why did they come to see the list in person?"
"Brother Pan they are talking about, could it be the young owner of the Pan Family Bank that ended this year? I remember that the young owner of Pan's Bank is the hottest candidate for the number one pick this year. Isn't this the one who bet the most?"
"Master Pan's young master had a cold the day before yesterday, so he got the medicine from the pharmacy along the street." Someone interjected, "It should be this one."
"So—the owner of the Pan family's young master didn't win?!" Someone suddenly raised his voice.
The crowd also burst into chirping in an instant: "The master of the Pan family has a brilliant literary talent. I am still reading the calligraphy left at the major poetry conferences. I don't believe that such a talent has failed!"
"A few days ago, didn't a scholar report to Jingzhao Mansion that someone cheated in this test? Could it be because of this?"
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's because the young master of the Pan family has a bad mentality, or because he failed the exam?!"
Among the people, everyone has their own opinions. For a while, the scholars who won the exam or those who failed have some strange feelings in their hearts. All the highly respected masters of the Pan family failed the rankings, and if I got in, it was because my ancestors burned high incense. As for the scholars who failed the rankings, I was even more comforted—even the masters of the Pan family didn’t win.
As for the current mood of the owner of Pan's young master?
He had a high fever, and he was worried about his ranking. When the book boy came back from outside the mansion, with a hesitant expression on his face, he knew that something was wrong.
The owner of the Pan Family Young Manor smiled wryly: "But the ranking is not very high?"
The book boy shook his body, shook his head and dared not speak.
The master of the Pan family felt that something was wrong. He thought that although his performance in this test was not [-]%, but he also used [-]% of his skill, so he frowned and asked. :"how?"
The book boy was frightened, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and sobbed, "Master, you, you failed the ranking."
The master of the Pan family thought he was hallucinating, and his heart felt like it was beating: "Say it again?!"
The book boy closed his eyes, he was dead anyway, and repeated: "Master, you failed the ranking! You failed the ranking!!"
The owner of the Pan family's young master rolled his eyes and fainted on the couch in an instant.
Pan's chaos was inevitable, but King Yu Xiequ's side was very satisfied.He looked at the familiar names on the notice copied by his subordinates, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed, but because of the existence of the prince and Xie Lin, he could only suppress those complacent and radiant faces of the chess players. The two said: "This year's exam went so smoothly, it is all thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Zhao dropped his son, shook his head and said, "I'm just supervising from the sidelines, so I shouldn't be my second brother saying that."
Xie Qu smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was full of respect: "How could it be, His Royal Highness, don't underestimate yourself."
As he said that, Xie Zhao was curious about the list of Jinshi this year. Seeing this, King Yu asked his subordinates to hand over the list to him, with a hint of a villain's success in his eyes.
Sure enough, the crown prince Xie Zhao who took over the announcement roughly glanced at the names on the list, and his brows frowned slightly, as if he was a little puzzled.
Yu Wang Xie Qu deliberately asked: "The prince thinks there is something wrong?"
The prince was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "...No."
King Yu still wanted to take the opportunity to say something, but Xie Lin suddenly interrupted Xie Qu with a faint voice: "His Royal Highness, it's up to you to settle your son."
The prince came back to his senses and smiled apologetically.
A game of chess ended in a hurry, the prince was hiding something in his heart, and soon lost to Xie Lin.Seeing this, Xie Lin didn't pull the prince to continue, but King Yu suddenly became very excited, and wanted to play a few games with him no matter what.
Xie Lin said lightly: "Second brother is in a good mood, why don't we add some color to the scene."
When King Yu was proud of himself, he took a black piece and dropped it on the chessboard, and asked, "Well, what does third brother want from elder brother?"
Xie Lin was not polite to him, and said bluntly: "I heard that my second brother has a villa in the western suburbs. The scenery is just right, there are dense apricot forests outside, and the Dongting universe inside. My brother really yearns for it."
King Yu didn't want Xie Lin to open his mouth, so the lion opened his mouth, he was a little shocked: "..."
Xie Lin raised his eyes, with a smile that was not a smile: "Second brother is reluctant?"
"How could it be?" King Yu forced a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of stern coldness. His dissatisfaction with Xie Lin was almost at its peak, but he had to pretend to be generous and straightforward, and said generously , "Then two wins out of three? If you lose the third brother... I heard that there is a good cook in the third brother's house, can you give it to the second brother?"
Xie Lin had a troubled expression, and said blankly: "Please."
Among the four grown-up princes of Emperor Jin and Yuan, except for the crown prince Xie Zhao, who was always proficient in literature and martial arts in the eyes of the courtiers, he had a biased impression of the remaining three princes.Yu Wang Xie Qu is honest and straightforward, and has a good reputation among civil servants. He has always recited poems and composed geometry, and has left many calligraphy treasures, which are praised by the literati. Qu, Yu Wu may be able to show off one or two fierce, but Yu Wen is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with him.
"Second brother, promise."
Two victories in three rounds, Bai Zi nibbled away Hei Zi's ground and was completely defeated, just like the smile on King Yu's face that was about to be completely unbearable.
As for Xie Lin, his expression was modest and the same as that of Prince Xie Zhaoban, which really made King Yu want to hit someone.
"Biezhuang belongs to the third brother." Enduring the pain in his heart, King Yu gritted his teeth.He could hardly tell how he lost to Xie Lin in the chess game, until he realized that the chess piece was settled, and he was already powerless to recover.
Xie Lindao: "Second brother, you are welcome, wait until next time..."
"Let's make an appointment next time!" Xie Qu hastily interrupted Xie Lin's words, regardless of the surprised look on Xie Lin's face, he got up and said in a hurry, "I remember that there are still some things that cannot be dealt with in the mansion, so let's go first."
After speaking, he raised his sleeves and pushed the door out.
"Third brother, you." Although the crown prince couldn't distinguish the conflict between King Yu and Xie Lin, he couldn't blame Xie Lin after all, so he just shook his head and said helplessly, "You know that the second brother always wants to save face, and you still don't give it to me like this." He saves a little bit of noodles...today, it is rare for you and my brothers to get together, so why bother."
Xie Lin knew that Xie Zhao had always been soft-tempered, so he didn't make any distinctions with him, the two brothers drank tea for a while, and when the sun rose to noon, they went back to the palace or to the palace.
On the first day of the public examination, some people were happy and others were worried. On the second day, the high school students began to prepare for the palace examination, and Prince Jing's mansion also received the land deed that should have belonged to Yuwang Biezhuang.
"Your Highness, what is this?" Bai Guo asked in a mumbled voice as she held a sour plum in her hand and ate something with her mouth bulging.
Xie Lin put the title deed in a box and put it away, smiled lightly and said, "You will know later."
Bai Guo nodded, although she was a little curious, she obediently did not continue to ask, but asked: "Are those scholars who were making trouble outside a few days ago stopped making trouble?"
Yesterday, when the test results were released, Bai Guo thought that if Uncle Chang Ping hadn't passed away, there should be Bai Ke among the scholars who went to Beijing for the test this year, but it's a pity that Bai Ke has to keep a filial piety for his biological father for three years, so he can only participate in the next test.
Just as she was thinking, Bai Guo heard Xie Lin say in a deep voice: "The present calm is just a harbinger of storms to come."
As he said that, the man sighed lowly, stepped forward and held Bai Guo in his arms, and said slowly: "There is going to be a lot of trouble in Beijing."
As soon as he said it, before Bai Guo realized anything, only on the third day after the Jinshi was released, the owner of the Pan family brought a group of scholars to knock on the door of the Wenyuange University scholar, asking the examiner to pass the meeting Exam papers are released in advance.
The scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion didn't want to pay attention to these unreasonable people, and only said to them that the examination papers still need to be submitted to His Majesty for review, if they want to see it, they can only bring it up after the palace examination.
In this way, the owner of the Pan family and his party returned without success.
But at the same time, in Jingzhao Mansion, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, who took the opportunity to get the test papers in his hands on the day when the results were announced, heard the perfunctory words of the next door Wenyuange University scholar to the group of scholars. After snorting a few times, the cold teacup fell heavily on the table, splashing a puddle of water: "This old man really thinks he can cover the sky with one hand."
Peng Zhiqing was sitting on his lower seat, flipping through the test papers that he had obtained so hard, and said with a smile: "The owner of the Pan family is brilliant in writing, and it's not a lie. The writing is even smoother... But this time, I have wronged him."
Jingzhao Fu Yin sneered: "Crowded together with a group of cheaters, even Wenquxing's rebirth may not be comparable."
But Peng Zhiqing asked him: "Since that's the case, what are these similar filers planning to do?"
Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion said: "Wenyuan Pavilion is full of self-satisfaction. I am afraid that I will not find out that these files have already been in our hands in a short time, and I think the fake file they forged has already been sent to the palace... ...So, why don't I follow his wishes, and everything will be revealed after the palace examination."
Peng Zhiqing frowned: "This can catch the other party by surprise, but it is difficult to attract the people behind the Wenyuange University scholar."
Hearing the words, Jingzhao Mansion Yin looked at Peng Zhiqing hesitantly.
Peng Zhiqing said: "Your Excellency, you might as well speak directly."
Jingzhao Mansion Yin said: "No matter what the outcome of this matter is, as long as we only find out the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, let's stop here."
Peng Zhiqing looked at him silently.
Jingzhao Fu Yin said: "Even if you know who it is, if you can't pull him off the horse this time, have you ever thought about the future?"
Peng Zhiqing said slowly: "Are you afraid of being retaliated?"
Jingzhao Mansion Yin sighed: "There is an old mother on this official, and there are wives and children on the bottom. I really don't want to get involved in those right and wrong... Zhiqing, you ask yourself, it was only because of that small case back then that it ended up like this." Desperation, is it worth it?"
Peng Zhiqing lowered his eyes and remained silent.
……
The palace examination will be held on the seventh day after the results of the general examination are released. According to the customs of the Great Jin Dynasty, the emperor will give questions on the spot in the palace examination at noon. His Royal Highnesses need to observe from the sidelines. After agreeing, discuss knowledge with the newly promoted Jinshi. After everything is over, the emperor will hand-picked the top three.
This year's palace examination was slightly different from previous years, and it was a coincidence that the palace examination coincided with the Empress Dowager's birthday. The Qionglin Banquet was held one day earlier, together with the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, so that the Empress Dowager and her elders would be more happy.
When it was the day of the palace examination, Xie Lin changed into the robes of the prince, and personally changed Bai Guo into the attire of the princess. He held her in his arms and looked at it before and after, and then said in a deep voice: "The empress dowager is kind, please rest. Let the servant help you to rest in the side hall, if you are bored, you can go to the East Palace for a while."
Bai Guo nodded and looked at him with a smile: "I know."
After that, he watched Xie Lin lower his head, couldn't help but raised his head and kissed the man's chin: "I'm waiting for Your Highness in the palace."
Xie Lin's eyes darkened, but he directly sealed the lips and tongue of the person in his arms, exchanging a sweet body fluid.
When the two separated, Bai Guo was out of breath and blushed thoroughly.He was carried into the sedan chair by Xie Lin, and he probably woke up too early, so he fell asleep in the man's arms again. When he woke up, the sedan chair had already arrived at the gate of the palace.
"Is the third sister-in-law here?" Li Xian'er's familiar voice came from outside the sedan chair.
After a while, the tall and tall man got out of the sedan chair with a cold expression. Li Xian'er saw him and smiled coyly, and then said: "Hello, third brother."
Xie Lin glanced at her lightly, and Li Xian'er immediately said: "I will take good care of the third sister-in-law, third brother, don't worry!"
"En." Xie Lin nodded, and said again, "The king received a letter from the Northwest a few days ago. The fourth brother has performed very well in office, and I think he will be able to return to Beijing soon."
Li Xian'er's face suddenly collapsed when she heard this, and she muttered: "What is that damn ghost coming back so soon?"
Xie Lin glanced at her, and Li Xian'er smiled honestly and obediently.
The two of them didn't stay under the sedan chair for much time, Xie Lin went forward, Li Xian'er took the opportunity to step on the sedan chair, and got in to talk to Bai Guo.
Before the carriage moved, Bai Guo brought out a plate of dried fruit. Seeing Li Xian'er stepped into the sedan chair and was about to speak, she saw behind Li Xian'er a nanny holding a white and fat baby also sitting in cautiously.
"This is a tiger baby, right?" Bai Guo's eyes lit up, and he smiled gently at the milk baby.
Li Xian'er took her own son and held her in her arms skillfully, then sat next to Bai Guo, showed him the baby, and said triumphantly, "How about it, isn't my son pretty?"
The milk baby was wrapped in a silk brocade swaddle, and the smooth and tender skin was as soft as tofu. Ginkgo carefully touched his face with her hand, and the milk baby "giggled" and laughed.
This was the first time he saw Li Xian'er's child, and seeing that the baby was printed out of the same mold as Xie Cheng, he couldn't help asking him to touch his stomach, wondering if the baby in his arms would be born after birth. And look just like their father.
It would not be boring to have a child teasing on the road. The tiger baby is still young, and can only spit out a few funny sounds sporadically from its mouth. He is showing off his little fist to him.
Li Xian'er looked at her son's stupid appearance, and couldn't help complaining, "Tiger Baby is exactly like his stupid father."
The two went to the harem together, but because of Bai Guo's heavy body, Xie Lin begged for grace in advance, and the sedan chair went all the way to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.At that time, the Empress Dowager's bedroom was still very lively, all the concubines and concubines came to the Shoukang Palace early to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager also dressed up grandly today, looking very energetic.
"His Royal Highness Princess Jing is here!"
"Princess Qin's concubine is here!"
The voice of the palace people's announcement sounded in the Shoukang Palace, and the smile on the Empress Dowager's face remained undiminished. Seeing Li Xian'er walking in with the help of Ginkgo, the smile became even brighter.
"Quickly show the seats to the two princesses."
The queen dowager is getting old, and she likes to have prosperous and prosperous children under her knees. Earlier, Emperor Jin and Yuan pointed out Shuang'er to Prince Jing to be the princess. issue of offspring.
But now seeing Ginkgo's swollen belly even though her body is covered by loose clothes, the Empress Dowager and the elderly feel relieved, and are extremely satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.
After talking with all the concubines, the Queen Mother first called Princess Qin to come to her side, took a good look at the tiger baby who followed his father closely, and rewarded her great-grandson with a golden lock, and then called Bai Guo Go up and talk to her.
"How many months?" The Empress Dowager asked kindly.
Bai Guo smiled and said: "Go back to the Queen Mother, the child is more than eight months old."
The Queen Mother said: "Then today's birthday banquet, you have to be more careful. If you are tired, you can quickly find a side hall to rest."
Bai Guo nodded, and said obediently: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compassion."
The queen mother smiled and patted his hand: "Ai's family now only hopes that the royal heirs will continue. I am afraid that Princess Jing will not like to hear some words, but Ai's family still wants to say that it is true that King Jing committed murder, and ordinary murderers According to the Buddha, people who are too evil will hinder their offspring, but King Jing is the son of a real dragon, and if you are able to conceive a child now, it is because of the generosity of the heavens, you must be more careful and careful than others."
When Bai Guo heard this, the smile on his face remained unchanged: "What the empress dowager taught is true."
The queen mother saw that he was well-behaved and sensible, so she also rewarded him with a string of beads.
Not long afterward, the Empress Dowager showed a tired face and said, "It's all gone."
All the concubines agreed, got up and left one after another.
Bai Guo also left the Shoukang Palace, the weather was fine today, he raised his eyes to look at the position of the sun, his thoughts drifted away, and what he thought of was that the palace examination in the previous court had just started not long ago.
"Princess Jing." Zhang Guijun walked a step slower, seeing Bai Guo stopped outside the hall, he couldn't help smiling and walked over, "Long time no see."
Bai Guo came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Zhang Guijun, didn't the little prince come with you today?"
Zhang Guijun said: "The child has been coughing for the past few days and is taking medicine."
Bai Guo said: "I see."
While the two were talking, Li Xian'er walked over with Princess Xiaoyu. Zhang Guijun and Princess Xiaoyu were not familiar with each other, so they met and greeted each other. How about going to sit in this palace?"
Concerned that Li Xian'er brought the tiger baby into the palace, probably because she was afraid that the little prince's cough would be brought to others, so Bai Guo said: "Thank you, Mrs. Guijun, for your kindness, but before we entered the palace, we handed the greeting card to the East Palace, so we won't do it this time." It's convenient to disturb the empress's palace."
Zhang Guijun nodded without forcing, and quickly walked away from the others.
"Let's go to the East Palace?" Princess Xiaoyu rubbed her hands and said.
Li Xian'er asked her strangely: "What kind of action are you doing?"
Princess Xiaoyu said confidently: "Curious! Excited! I have never seen what the Crown Prince's East Palace looks like since I grew up! After all, it is the residence that His Royal Highness misses so much. I have to wonder how attractive it is inside. "
Li Xian'er did not expect that Princess Yu could speak so straightforwardly, so she couldn't help asking: "What kind of stimulation did King Yu give you?"
Bai Guo also tilted her head to look at Princess Xiaoyu.
Princess Xiao Yu hadn't seen the two of them for several days, seeing that there were no outsiders around at this time, she wished to pour out all the bitterness of these days to the two of them.
"Do you remember that there was a concubine Xu who was pregnant in Prince Yu's residence before?" Princess Xiaoyu asked.
Li Xian'er cooperated and said: "Remember, it's the side concubine Xu who has a heart higher than the sky, who wants to have a son and then kicks you off the position of wife!"
Saying that, Bai Guo also remembered: "He should have given birth?"
Princess Xiaoyu nodded: "I gave birth."
Li Xian'er asked: "What happened?"
Princess Xiaoyu sighed.
Li Xian'er said: "Isn't it true that this little bitch will be successful and give birth to a son?!"
Princess Xiaoyu shook her head.
Li Xian'er was speechless: "That's a daughter."
Princess Xiaoyu still shook her head.
This made Li Xian'er very anxious: "Say it or not, or if you don't, I won't listen to you complaining about those dirty things in the house in the future!"
Princess Xiaoyu said quietly: "Don't, I said, is it still okay?"
Hearing the conversation between the two of them like tongue twisters, Bai Guo really wanted to laugh, but he was really curious, so he also urged Princess Xiaoyu together: "Sister-in-law, please tell me, so that Xian'er will be happy to hear it." .”
Princess Xiaoyu: "..."
After the three of them had been silent for a long time, Princess Xiaoyu looked at the two pairs of eyes full of desire for knowledge, and finally revealed all the secrets of her own palace.
"Xu side concubine said she was pregnant, but I secretly found someone and found out that he gave birth at the beginning of nine months." Princess Xiaoyu lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "You don't know, although he said he was born, but he was born The baby was not a living thing at all. Later, I found out the midwife who was in charge of delivering the baby that day, and found out through coercion and lure that Concubine Xu used some kind of earthen formula to make herself look like she was pregnant, but in fact, her belly was just pregnant. Got a meat ball!"
"???" Li Xian'er and Bai Guo were shocked.
Princess Xiaoyu went on to say: "However, this matter was kept secret by Concubine Xu. He has stayed in Prince Yu's Mansion for a few years anyway, and he has quite a bit of power in his hands. He even bribed the chief steward of the Palace. The matter was covered up, and I only told King Yu that Concubine Xu gave birth to a boy, but it was a pity that her body was too weak, and she died shortly after birth."
Li Xian'er said: "This person is quite resourceful."
Princess Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Earlier when the former Princess Yu was here, Prince Yu had many heirs who died shortly after birth, so Prince Yu accepted it well, and even because of his love for side concubine Xu, She also took good care of him for a while."
Li Xian'er said: "Could it be possible that King Yu has true love for Concubine Xu?"
Princess Xiaoyu gave Li Xian'er a blank look: "I'm afraid you have forgotten another noble concubine in our family who lives in another village to raise babies."
Bai Guo sensed that the matter didn't seem to be over, so she asked, "Which one...had a safe delivery?"
Princess Xiaoyu then said: "Not only was the birth safe, but maybe because that noble concubine was one of the twins, she gave birth to a boy and a girl at the same time! It's really amazing! But it's a pity at the same time. Although two dolls were born, one of them was taken away by Concubine Xu."
Li Xian'er couldn't help frowning when she heard this: "That's not right, a concubine of yours didn't even pick up a child, how could he have the nerve to snatch a concubine?! Oh, yes, he hugged a boy or a girl?"
Princess Xiaoyu said: "At first I wanted to hug a boy, but I also planned to steal the dragon and turn it into a phoenix, so that the noble concubine thought that she had given birth to a daughter, but the twin brother of the noble concubine stayed by her brother's side and did not let the other party succeed. Concubine Xu wanted to rob someone else's son, but was forced to die by the noble concubine, so she asked King Yu to personally hug the concubine's daughter to Concubine Xu."
When Bai Guo heard this, her heart tightened, and she subconsciously covered her stomach.
Li Xian'er patted the back of his hand to comfort him, and said coldly: "Xu side concubine is really nothing."
Princess Xiaoyu smiled and said: "My Highness and this side concubine Xu are definitely a good match!"
Bai Guo said worriedly: "I think that noble concubine is going to hate Concubine Xu to the bone."
Princess Xiaoyu nodded: "That noble concubine is a pitiful person, so I decided to make him a side concubine. A few days ago, I had already asked the Queen Mother for her will, and now the two of them happened to be in Prince Yu's mansion. I played in the arena every day."
Li Xian'er rolled her eyes and said, "I think you just want to watch a play."
Princess Xiaoyu said: "The left and right have nothing to do every day, and there is a play to sing. I don't like to see them as fools."
Li Xian'er said: "I think you are quite stupid."
Princess Xiaoyu said: "Fourth sibling, do you want to fight with me?!"
Li Xian'er was not afraid of her, she rolled up her sleeves: "Come on!"
At this moment, the tiger baby held by the grandma waved her arms: "Ah!" "Ah!"
ginkgo:"……"
Seeing that the two were about to bicker again, he hurriedly said: "I'm a little tired, let's go to the East Palace to rest first."
This broke the two of them apart.
When the group came to the East Palace, Wen Sushu was supervising Xie He's endorsement. Recently, the crown prince invited Xie He to be a teacher. Although he had no official position, he was a first-class scholar.It's a pity that Xie He is small and can't sit still. He has to be accompanied by Wen Sushu to study with peace of mind.
"Brother!" Xie He was drowsy sitting on the futon reciting the book, and immediately became excited when he saw the little baby being held by the nanny.
Wen Sushu was notified of the arrival of several concubines by his servants long ago, he was not surprised, and quickly found a comfortable cushion for Bai Guo to sit on the couch to rest.
"Thank you." Bai Guo thanked Wen Sushu with a smile, and found that Xie He had finished watching the milk doll over there, and walked over curiously to stare at his belly.
Bai Guo asked: "He'er, what did you see?"
Xie He blushed, hid behind Wen Sushu, grabbed Wen Sushu's clothes and whispered shyly: "A small circle is a younger brother, and a big circle is... two younger brothers!"
The childish words made everyone in the room laugh happily.
Princess Xiaoyu is straightforward and doesn't like to pay attention to those rules, so she came to Xie He and asked teasingly: "Ah, our little emperor's grandson is still a little magic stick, let's show it to my aunt, my aunt's belly What's in it?"
Xie He blushed, stared at Princess Xiaoyu's flat abdomen, and said for a long while, "...Where, Nezha?"
Wen Sushu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he hugged Xie He from behind to the front, and said apologetically to Princess Xiaoyu: "He'er recently learned from the master, and I just heard Mr. Nezha talk a few days ago..."
Princess Xiaoyu didn't mind at all, and even said flatteredly: "If I really have Nezha in my stomach, then I won't be a goddamn god?!"
Bai Guo exclaimed, "That's amazing!"
Li Xian'er was speechless: "Hey, you are enough."
A few people gathered together to chat and make noise, and there were occasional childish chatters between Xie He and Huwa. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire East Palace was unprecedentedly joyful, but it concealed the lifelessness that had been lingering around due to the prince's serious illness in the past few days. .
At the same time, in the Tai Chi Hall of the previous dynasty, the palace examination has also been carried out to a normal level.
Emperor Jin and Yuan posed questions to test and teach, Jinshi answered in class, and several princes and princes watched from the sidelines.
"Why doesn't the third brother finish reading?" The crown prince stood in front of the hall, watching Emperor Jin Yuan walking among Jinshi, stopping to watch from time to time or nodding or frowning and shaking his head, he couldn't help asking Xie Lin beside him with a smile.
Xie Lin said indifferently: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has not ended."
Since King Qin Xie Cheng was still in the northwest, only the crown prince was with him and King Yu this time. King Yu had always had a good reputation among literati. As early as the opening, he asked Emperor Jin and Yuan to come and observe Jinshi with him to answer questions.
The prince smiled when he heard the words, but he said with some regret: "It's a pity that the few candidates I admired before couldn't make further progress. Now these Jinshi are..." He whispered here, but he was embarrassed for a while, and it was not easy to go Let's continue, it seems that if you talk too much, you may look down on this class of Jinshi.
But Xie Lin didn't mind at all, and even said bluntly: "The Jinshi this time is worse than in previous years."
After finishing speaking, there was a faint smell of urine and foul smell from the hall, causing everyone in the hall to cover their mouths and noses and look around.
Emperor Jin Yuan also smelled this smell, and even he was the closest person to this smell-it turned out that the Jinshi standing beside him was scared to pee.
Emperor Jin Yuan: "... come here."
The Jinshi who was scared to urinate instantly threw the brush in his hand, knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare me!"
Emperor Jin Yuan, who really wanted people to drag this Jinshi out and chop him up, turned livid. He opened his mouth, but saw his second son walking over, and asked with a worried expression, "Father, are you frightened?"
Emperor Jin Yuan sighed and said: "Take this person down first, it will be disrespectful and disrespectful to the imperial court!"
King Yu secretly glanced at the other party's appearance and the name on the answer sheet, cursed a useless thing in his heart, but had to comfort Emperor Jin Yuan with a gentle voice on his face, and then he pretended to be surprised and picked up the Jinshi to make a speech. After half of the answer sheet, he said slowly: "This Jinshi's knowledge is not bad, but it's a pity that he is a little timid."
Emperor Jin Yuan frowned: "Oh?"
He placed it in front of the Jinshi who was just passing by, and hadn't stopped to look at his case file, so he took it from King Yu's hand, looked at it from the beginning to the end, and finally his expression softened: "The knowledge is not bad."
There will be no further words.
And there is no follow-up, which means that the other party has secured the Jinshi quota anyway.
King Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help gnashing his teeth secretly.You must know that in the palace examination this time, he invited the University of Wenyuan Pavilion and several well-known scribes to ponder the holy meaning day and night, and only then did he produce a few excellent works aimed at the appetite of the local gods and kings in a few months. Not much, it was only distributed to him and put into the hands of a few scholars under his command, but King Yu didn't expect that there were useless things among these people, and he immediately destroyed one of them, who was expected to get the top three places s work!
The bottom of his heart was full of gloom, but King Yu couldn't say anything and couldn't do anything. Finally, he decided to walk away from the land full of piss and coquettishness, and then casually went to find "good files" from other people.
Xie Lin looked at this scene indifferently, without saying a word, just watched King Yu jumping up and down on the field like a monkey, until he stood beside a person and stopped, with a surprised expression on his face, which attracted the attention of many civil servants around him. focus on.
The time for the written examination of the Palace Examination was only half an hour, and the time passed quickly, and the files were read by a group of civil servants, and finally the best answer papers were selected and presented to Emperor Jin Yuan. At this time, His Royal Highnesses can begin to ask some questions about this group of Jinshi.
In the past, these questions were probably handed over to the prince alone for interrogation, but perhaps because the sons have grown up now, Emperor Jin Yuan has a sense of crisis, so now he prefers to let several people restrain each other , so this year's interrogation has become a place where everyone goes together.
"Please the prince first?" King Yu's expression was full of poise, but he still had to pretend to be modest and respectfully invite the prince first.
The crown prince Xie Zhao frowned, looked around at the Jinshi, and only briefly asked a few people and asked a few words before giving up, obviously lacking in interest.
After Xie Zhao finished, King Yu looked at Xie Lin again: "Does the third brother have anything to ask?"
Xie Lin raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, and said impatiently: "Second brother, ask."
King Yu heard the words and knew that it was finally his turn to play the game, so he took the questions he had prepared and discussed with the scholars under his command, and started talking with them at the end.
