The one hundred and sixty-first round

Waiting for Huang Dianyao and Imperial Doctor Lin to leave together, Qin Ying asked the doubts in his heart.

"You said there was an unusual aura in the Li Zheng Palace?" Chen Yaozanglang stroked his sleeve indifferently and exclaimed, "Your nose is really sensitive. A certain learned from the mouth of the palace attendant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince vomited once after drinking the decoction this morning. The doors and windows of the hall were ventilated, and the palace attendants specially lit benzoin to hide the smell. ”

This time it was Qin Ying's turn to be embarrassed. She smiled wryly, and the corners of her mouth opened into an ugly arc to ease her state of mind that she didn't know how to answer.

Eventually, she remembered two words she had seen in books in the past: caring is chaotic, and too much. Words that are not related to each other are pieced together, and there is a feeling of unexpected coincidence.

As her thoughts gradually moved towards philosophical thoughts, Chen Yaozanglang's hand patted her shoulder: "If you are not worthy of the Hanlin Academy's class today, go to the library to check the ancient books, and I am still waiting for you to fulfill your promise as soon as possible." These words immediately pulled her back to reality.

Qin Ying hurriedly bowed down and got up to leave, although Chen Yaozanglang's tone was very gentle.

Sometimes anticipation can be overwhelming more than urging.

Walking out of the exquisite garden in front of the Lizheng Palace, she saw the long figure of Ruqi in the corner of her eyes.

His back seemed to be slightly bent, and he looked a little depressed.

Qin Ying walked over slowly and asked him what was wrong, and stretched out a hand, intending to ask him for a fish talisman. Later, Qin Ying will go to the library, and the fish talisman must be used, and it is really inconvenient to put it in Ruqi.

Ruqi's reaction was faster than Qin Ying thought, and almost without thinking, he handed over the brocade bag that was warm in his hand. However, his speech was still not good, and he hesitated for a while before he said: "As an outsider, it is very difficult to walk in the red dust." However, Qin Ying, how did you do it? ”

He was answering the question thoroughly.

Qin Ying guessed that he had suffered some grievances in the back kitchen. Maybe someone mocked his identity, or maybe someone compared him with himself and made him sigh like this.

She retied the fish charm around her waist. His eyes slipped to his face without a trace, and he smiled lightly: "The people in the East Palace are generally talkative, don't care about what they say, just keep an eye on them." ”

Ruqi at this time showed a different attachment than usual. While following Qin Ying's steps towards Taiji Palace, he said: "They respect and fear you, and when they mention your name, they are shocked, but when they see me, they look different." ”

Qin Ying's smile extended from the corners of her mouth to the tips of her eyes, and she glanced at Ruqi beside her. sighed leisurely: "I have been in the East Palace for two months before, and I have taught a few palace people a little tricks. Now I have been transferred to the Hanlin Academy, and I have not been to the East Palace for several days, but the palace people have not forgotten me. This is probably the prestige that has been accumulated for a long time, although it is gone, it still exists. ”

She knew that the people who came up with reluctance could not be suppressed, and she had to slowly explain the words, so she said something patiently.

"I see." Ruqi's eyes widened, and he said with a sudden realization. He couldn't imagine the scene where Qin Ying taught the palace people, but he pretended that he already understood.

Qin Ying is a demon who has lived for hundreds of years, although his human feelings are not particularly transparent. However, he has learned everything from words and looks, and a brief glance at his expression can see most of his thoughts. She kept a smile on her face and didn't try to debunk Ruqi.

Between friends, you always have to save some face for each other.

Qin Ying thinks she is a qualified friend.

She took Ruqi through the training gate between the East Palace and the Taiji Palace, and he realized that he was led by her to the vicinity of the Taiji Palace.

“…… Where is this going? He asked, scratching his shiny head. Although he may not understand the answer when he asks, he still enjoys asking questions. It can only be said that his spirit of learning is really commendable.

She replied briefly, "—the library." Qin Ying knew that with Ruqi's reaction speed, it must be difficult to understand, so he asked questions before him and said eloquently. Although there is an imperial study room in the Imperial Palace, and there is a place such as the Hongbunkan that specializes in the history of the atlas, there are a large number of books collected from the private sector that are not organized. For example, the Buddhist scriptures and Taoist collections of the likes of Fang Wai. Therefore, two more libraries have been added to the Taiji Palace. ”

Ruqi nodded earnestly.

After walking for a while, Qin Ying stopped under the tree next to the road to rest. Suddenly, he said, "I can guess the reason for your renunciation." ”

He turned his face to look at Qin Ying hidden in the shadow of the tree: "What? Looking at the past from this angle, there was no difference between Qin Ying and the child he remembered two years ago. Ruqi's eyes became very soft.

"Because you can't pass the imperial examination like this, you can hide people's eyes and ears and shut your mouth when you become a monk." Qin Ying said with a smile.

Ruqi blinked his watery hazy eyes, and after a while, he found that Qin Ying was saying that he was not good at brain power in disguise. He blushed and said, "The little monk took the test as early as when he was ordained as a bhikshu and got the degree issued by the imperial court [Note]. ”

When Li Shimin succeeded to the throne in the first year of Zhenguan, some people wrote that there were too many monks who were monks, which was not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the country, and incidentally cited many harmful examples of pseudo-monks.

The original text of the song is as follows: the obscene couple, the self-esteem is high, the person who is floating and falling, avoids servitude, shaves off in vain, pretends to be a monk, has insatiable desires, keeps begging, goes in and out of the Lu, circulates around the land, drives the livestock, accumulates goods and wealth, cultivates and weaves for a living, evaluates and sells into a business, and makes the same household as the family, and so on.

At that time, Li Shimin had just sat on the throne of God, and he couldn't rub a little sand in his eyes, so he sent the secretary to serve the imperial Shi Du Zhenglun and went to various places to inspect the situation of the pseudo-monks in various states.

At that time, Ruqi was still with the shaving master Daoxuan, and in order to verify his identity, he left the Xuanzhong Temple with the senior brothers, and went to the big temple in the state capital to take the test.

The reputation of the Taoist master is outside, and as his closed disciple, Ruqi certainly can't fail to pass the exam and embarrass the master. So during that time, he got up early and recited the scriptures so hard that his understanding of the scriptures was a little smoother than the others.

"Yes, yes." Qin Ying couldn't help but be reassured when he heard him defend so seriously.

Answering like this, Qin Ying thought in his heart, which one was more difficult, the examination or the imperial examination.

She had heard the master of Xuandu Guan say that the monks had dropped by seven-tenths in the first year of Zhenguan, which must be easier than taking the exam, but it should be comparable to the examiner, right?

[Note] Du Mu is a thing in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, and now it appears purely crossing. However, when I wrote the previous article, I forgot about this point and wrote a few times. So let this beautiful mistake continue.

(To be continued.) )

PS: I don't know what other writers are like, but when I wrote the article, I substituted myself into Ruqi. His stupid attributes are exactly the same as mine......
