Imperial City of Beijing, March day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this month, it was the fourteenth birthday of the new emperor, but because the 100-day mourning period of the first emperor had not passed, no one in the palace and outside the palace dared to mention words of celebration.

And this month, in the capital, in addition to the birthday of the new emperor, there is another thing that is more attractive to scholars.

That is, the triennial imperial examination, which is finally about to officially begin.

It is said that the Spring Festival, which was supposed to be held in February, was postponed because the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were busy with the state funeral of the first emperor.

The people who had rushed to the capital from all over the country one after another in the previous year, after surviving a winter and participating in the funeral of the first emperor with the help of the suffering and tiredness, finally waited for their true purpose of rushing thousands of miles to the capital.

The third brother of Li Chaoxiong, the first-class guard of the Han Mansion of Yongding, Li Chaochen, and Zifan, also rushed to the capital in the spring season after the year as promised.

When Qin Siyang received the news of Li Chaochen's entry into Beijing, he was still guarding the spirit of the first emperor in Zi Palace. I didn't have a good year, I didn't sleep well, and I was dying.

Therefore, when Wei Hua found a rare opportunity when no one was there and mentioned to him that Li Chaochen had entered Beijing, Qin Siyang was so confused, staring at Wei Hua, and he didn't understand what he was talking about for a long time. Just as he wanted to open his mouth to ask, the eunuchs and palace maids who couldn't leave caught up with each other, and Wei Hua hurriedly retired and left.

Later, when he came back to his senses and understood what Wei Hua was, Qin Siyang remembered that they couldn't say three sentences that time, and in the next two months, they didn't even talk to each other.

The emperor who can't leave the palace doesn't need a personal guard. ascended to the supreme position that everyone in the world dreams of, and became the king of a country, but people are completely under the surveillance of others all day.

What kind of emperor is this, what kind of supreme position?

The days came to March in such a daze, and at the beginning of March, there was a farce of the emperor's disappearance in the palace, which made chaos inside and outside the palace.

But fortunately, the Ministry of Rites was not affected by this, nor was it confused by the situation of a pot of porridge. As always, they regard the triennial spring exam as more important than the matter of picking draft girls who are now in full swing. Therefore, instead of responding to the needs of some people, after being busy with the first emperor's spirit, he continued to do the matter of picking up draft girls, but ignored the matter of selection, and then began to organize the people's meeting in full swing.

To say that the biggest feature of this examination is that there are more people who rushed to the capital to participate in the examination, which is more than any other time in previous years. I think this should be a good thing, it's the heavens who foresee that the new dynasty will have a good image, isn't it? But when these many people rushed to the capital to take the examination, how many people could have thought that their trip to the examination was just in time for the change of the old and new courts?

Wei Hua said that if there was no accident for that Li Chaochen, he would have obtained the Jinshi background in this examination. That is to say, this Li Chaofan's results will at least enter the top two.

Thinking of this, Qin Siyang couldn't help but smile secretly.

Jinshi, in order to obtain the qualification of Jinshi, after they obtain the qualification of tribute, they must take the palace examination, and at that time, according to the ancestral system, he, the emperor of the dynasty, will go to the scene of the examination and invigilate the examination. According to Han Qihai's plan, at that time, he, the emperor, would be attracted by the handsome Gongsheng on the spot, and he would be shocked, and then he would do everything possible to pull him into the palace, and the bigger the trouble, the better.

What kind of appearance will it be, to make him shocked, Qin Siyang sneered. Although he sneered, he believed in Han Qihai's judgment, that Li Chaochen must be extremely extraordinary. Isn't it, according to the Li Chaoxiong he has seen, he is already so handsome, and his younger brother will not be bad. Thinking of being recommended by Han Qihai to play such things, it must be much more beautiful than his brother.

Wei Hua did not make any comments on Li Chaochen's appearance, and Han Qihai's letter only mentioned a few words.

It's useless to be as beautiful as Song Yu, and look better than Pan An's words. It is simply used to describe the words 'bright and beautiful, beautiful as the morning glow'.

His appearance is bright and beautiful, but when Qin Siyang saw this, what caught his mind was another person.

Shuangli, where are you? Isn't the matter of Changping Yanluodian already over, why haven't you entered Beijing yet? Or have you already entered Beijing, but they can't send me the news?

"Seventh brother, what are you thinking?" Qing Ling's sweet words came from behind him, and there was only one person in this deep palace.

"Fifth sister, when did you come?" Qin Si asked without looking back.

"Seventh brother, I just arrived. Why, didn't you hear a sound? When my father was there, he didn't let me enter the Qianqing Palace, and I was always curious. Hey, it turns out that the Qianqing Palace is like this, it's so big, um, but it's also so empty. Seventh brother, what about those people who have been with you all day, why are they all missing now?" Qin Sijing walked a few steps and walked around to Qin Siyang's side and asked with a sweet smile.

"Oh, nothing, they'll show up when I'm going out. Qin Siyang replied indifferently.

"Well, yes, why did you only show up when you went out?" Qin Sijing said with some confusion.

Qin Siyang turned his face away and didn't want to say more.

Seeing this, the palace maid who was following behind Qin Sijing hurriedly stepped forward to help the fifth princess who wanted to lean out and go around to Qin Siyang, signaling her not to ask again.

Qin Sijing pouted, glaring at her palace maid with some dissatisfaction. took another step forward, pulled Qin Siyang's arm, and said coquettishly: "Seventh brother, the queen mother said that I can't call you Seventh Brother anymore in the future, I want to call you the emperor." ”

"Oh. Qin Siyang responded simply.

"That," Qin Si smiled suddenly, "Then Jing'er will call you, well, call you the emperor's brother, how about it?"

"Whatever you want. Qin Siyang was still faint, and even a little cold.

"Then you agreed, Brother Emperor, hehe. Qin Sijing smiled happily.

Qin Siyang frowned: "Fifth sister, you are here, apart from seeing what the Qianqing Palace is like, is there anything else?"

Qin Sijing shook her head, and after thinking for a while, she nodded again, and her voice dimmed a little: "Brother Emperor, do you know that as soon as the 100-day mourning period of my father and king has passed, the marriage of the second sister will begin to prepare, and she will get married in less than two months?"

"Oh, got it. ”

However, the second sister was very unhappy. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Brother Emperor, can't this be changed?" Qin Sijing asked cautiously.

"Why change?"

"My sister doesn't like it. ”

Qin Sijing said innocently, but these words made Qin Siyang silent all the time.

"Brother Emperor?" Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Qin Sijing couldn't help but shake Qin Siyang's arm.

Qin Siyang was shaken impatiently, so he reluctantly said 'um' again.

"Brother Emperor, you are the Emperor, can you take care of it?" Qin Sijing begged.

"That's her business. Qin Siyang replied coldly.

"But—"

"You tell the Queen Mother to go. Qin Siyang said coldly again.

"But the queen mother won't listen to me. Qin Sijing lowered his head.

"Oh. “

"Brother Emperor, I heard that the third son of the Zhenguo Duke is a swinger, who spends all day drinking, and everyone says he is not good. ”

"Hmm. ”

"How can the second sister marry such a person?"

"Ugh. ”

"Brother Emperor, after you go to the future to ask for your mother, change the second sister to a better person. Qin Sijing begged again.

This time, Qin Siyang couldn't be unresponsive any longer, he straightened up, looked at the fifth princess in front of him, and said, "Fifth sister, you said you want me to ask the queen mother?"

"Yes, brother emperor," Qin Sijing opened a pair of big eyes, like stars in the sky, flashing and flashing, "You are the emperor, the queen mother said that after the father and emperor of the world go, you will be the biggest." What you say, the queen mother will listen. Brother Emperor, can you just go and talk about it? ”

Qin Siyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Fifth sister, you came here today for this." ”

Qin Sijing nodded, paused, and shook her head again: "No, I still have to see the emperor's brother, well, by the way, there is also the sixth brother." ”

"Sixth brother, what's wrong with him?"

"I heard that the queen mother was going to marry the daughter of King Lian to him. ”

Qin Siyang was taken aback, King Lian's daughter, why hadn't he heard of this: "Fifth sister, who did you listen to about this?" ”

"Aunt Fang, she said it. ”

"Master of Ceremonies Fang, the eldest daughter of the Ministry of Works?" Qin Siyang asked.

"Yes, Aunt Fang is also the uncle and cousin of the queen mother, doesn't the emperor's brother know?" Qin Sijing tilted his head and said.

"Oh, I know. ”

At this moment, Qin Sijing suddenly smiled: "Brother Emperor is so weird." ”

"Isn't it, the emperor's brother still calls himself 'I', Jing'er remembers that when my father was the emperor, he called himself 'I', everyone said that this was the emperor's unique self-title, and they all called it that. Brother Emperor, aren't you the emperor now?"

"Oh, I am. ”

"Brother Emperor. Qin Sijing shouted again.

"How?"

Qin Sijing tilted her head and looked at him curiously.

Qin Siyang thought about it for a while, and unconsciously let out an 'oh' sound.

"Could it be that the emperor's brother hasn't realized that he has become the emperor yet?" Qin Sijing guessed.

When Qin Siyang heard this, he didn't want him, the fifth sister who was too naïve, but guessed such a thing, and couldn't help laughing at himself.

Qin Sijing tilted her head and thought about it again, and asked tentatively: "So, the emperor's brother can't speak for the second sister in front of the queen mother?"

Qin Siyang smiled again, a very bitter smile. has suppressed himself in this palace for a long time, and he is as cold and stubborn as him, but he has unconsciously learned to use such a smile to explain himself. Perhaps, only in this way can he continue to endure in this ruthless deep palace day by day.

Seeing that Qin Siyang still didn't speak, Qin Sijing lowered his head: "Then, the emperor's brother can't speak anymore about the matter of the sixth brother." (To be continued.) )
