Chapter 302, Refusal of Marriage

"It's not a court meeting, it's not a formal state banquet, it's not so particular, let's go." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhenzong seemed to know what he was thinking, and said again.

The emperor said so, even if Zi Xiu felt that it was inappropriate, it was inconvenient to say anything, he could only go towards the water pavilion, after he entered the water pavilion, he saluted the prince and the princes and princes in a proper manner, and after the salute, he was thinking about where he should sit, and the prince Zhao You had already spoke: "Lord Xiao, how about you sit at my table?" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Regardless of whether Zi Xiu wants to or not, the prince opened his mouth, he can only sit here, the prince is the prince, he sits on the bench facing the lake, this chair can seat three people, but he sits up, except for the eldest princess, no one is suitable to sit in the same row with him, other people can only sit on his left and right, so that this table can only sit three people.

Zi Xiu sat on the right hand side of the prince's seat, and on his left hand sat Zhao Qi, the king of Qi, Zhao Qi seemed to be particularly disliking to talk, when Zi Xiu came in to salute him, he only nodded slightly, this table was full of three people, and Zhao Zhen and several other princes could only sit at another table.

The new list of Jinshi and Zi Xiu, are sitting on the west side of the Qingbo Pool, the nobles sit on the opposite bank, after everyone is seated, the douwen begins, the topic is from the noble girl's side, the first round by Princess Huayan herself, she said, tonight's protagonist is this year's new science and technology Jinshi, then, the beginning should be led by the new champion, for this reason, Xiao Zixiu is required to tonight's Qionglin banquet as the title, a poem.

This requirement is not excessive, the topic is not too difficult, after Zi Xiu listened to the question, after a little thought, he took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone handed by the eunuch, waved his hand, not a moment, a poem jumped in the paper, but see the poem cloud: Feng Zhao new bullet into the crown, come back to Xuan Majesty to look at the sky, the cloud is a five-color rune flag cover, Lu Li thousands of officials and miscellaneous wear rings, Yan Xi Qiao is in the Niu Women's Festival, Luan Zhang stands in the wall Kui, dedicated poems Chen Ya foolish ministers, and the situation is also seen in the song weather. (ps, the author Jun Wensi is limited, and he really can't make up a poem that suits the occasion with his own skills, so he can only copy a poem from Master Wen, forgive me!) )

His poem was written on the tea party, the prince and the king of Qi could see it clearly, after Zi Xiu put away the pen, the prince's eyes were slightly condensed, and the eyes of the always taciturn King Qi also flashed a faint look of surprise, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Zi Xiu, but immediately remembered that Zi Xiu was the new champion of this year, and it was not a miracle that he could write such a poem with a pen, so the surprise in his eyes quickly dissipated.

After the poem was written, the eunuch in charge of the title took it in his hand and read it out loud, everyone was separated by a pool of about five meters, and the voice of the eunuch was particularly loud, his thought, the people present could hear it clearly, after the voice of the eunuch who read the poem fell, the new list of Jinshi immediately burst into fierce applause, and the princess Huayan on the other side said loudly: "Good poem, worthy of being the top work of the gold list, Lord Xiao, you love this poem very much, and it is good to hand it over to me for collection?" ”

Princess Huayan openly asked Zixiu for poetry in front of the public, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people, what does this Princess Huayan want to do? I heard that she is choosing a colt, could it be that she wants to recruit a new champion as a colt? But when the court attaches to the horse, he only has a false title, and he does not hold a real position, with Xiao Zixiu's ability, he can't accept such a fate, right? When the thought fell here, everyone's eyes suddenly became very strange.

"Ordinary poems are over, I don't deserve the princess's praise like this, since the first question has been completed, can I carry out the second round of questions?" Zi Xiu glanced at Princess Huayan lightly, with a calm face, and as he spoke, he reached out and took the poetry paper in the eunuch's hand, folded it, and put it into his sleeve.

Seeing that Zi Xiu didn't take himself seriously at all, Hua Yan's face couldn't help but sink, and there was a storm in his eyes, but his eyes turned and he laughed again, and soon the second round of the question began, the second round was a pair of two sides, and the next party lost, Zi Xiu didn't want to be noticeable anymore, and in the next few rounds, he didn't show off again, every time it was dangerous, time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, there was a court meeting tomorrow, and some of the older ministers couldn't stand it, and Zhenzong announced the dismissal.

When the banquet was dispersed, Zhenzong deliberately confessed, the morning was postponed for an hour, the ministers were overjoyed when they heard it, and thanked them again and again, and then they went out of the palace, if it were not for the Qionglin banquet, the palace gate had already been closed at this time, and today was an exception, when Zi Xiu came with Zhao Zhen, he did not ride a horse, nor did he drive, and he could only go back to Zhao Zhen all the way, and because the time was too late, he did not return to the Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce, and went back to the Shouchun Mansion directly with Zhao Zhen, and lived in the palace for one night.

After the Qionglin banquet, each of the new Jinshi has a two-month vacation, during this vacation, everyone or return to their hometowns to report the good news, reunite with their families, or visit relatives and friends, in short, you can do whatever you want, two months later, and then officially come to the court to take office, Zixiu does not need to go to the court, Zhao Zhen is currently an idle prince, not a specific court, and there is no need to go to the court.

For this reason, after getting up the next day, the two had breakfast and went to the Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce together, on the way to the Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Zhen said with a somewhat solemn face: "Second brother, that Princess Huayan seems to be very different from you, you have to be careful, this woman is very strong and domineering, and she is favored by the emperor. ”

"I have a marriage contract, what can she do to me? Besides, even if I, Xiao Zixiu, am not talented, it is impossible for me to go to Shang Yuma in this life. Zi Xiu remembered the woman's gaze at him, and subconsciously frowned.

Zhao Zhen glanced at him, didn't say anything, when he arrived at Hongyuan Shang, Song Qiuyi was waiting for him, Zixiu told him about the Qionglin banquet last night, and then said, in two days, he will go back to Song County, and when he goes back, the good news of his high school champion should have spread to Song County and Qingfu Town, and all those who have won the Jinshi will be sent to all parts of the capital for the record.

Song Qiuyi has no opinion on this proposal, the new list of Jinshi in this dynasty has a two-month vacation, Zixiu is the champion of high school, and the family is going to have a banquet, it is good for him to go back earlier, to everyone's surprise, in the afternoon of the same day, the eunuch came to the palace, and Zixiu entered the palace face saint, Zixiu saw the eunuch, and unexpectedly remembered what Zhao Zhen said on the road, and his brows were subconsciously twisted, but he quickly shook his head, how to say, he is the champion of the new department, and the emperor can't force himself to marry because he loves Princess Huayan.

Zhao Zhen looked at the eunuch and suddenly spoke: "I will enter the palace with you." "The king of Shouchun County is very much loved by Zhenzong, he wants to enter the palace with Zixiu, and the eunuch naturally can't stop it, only Song Qiuyi sighed in his heart when he saw this, and he had the heart to ask a few words, but the eunuchs in the palace were beside him, he couldn't speak, and he could only watch Zixiu and Zhao Zhen go in the direction of the palace with the eunuchs in the palace.

After Zixiu and Zhao Zhen entered the palace, they were taken all the way to the imperial study, and when they arrived at the door of the imperial study, the eunuch sent the eunuch to report first, and after a while, Wu En walked out, and he glanced at Zhao Zhen, who came with Zixiu: "King Shouchun, you are waiting outside for the time being, Your Majesty has something to discuss with Lord Xiao." After finishing speaking, he took Zi Xiu into the imperial study.

After entering the imperial study, Zi Xiu found that Princess Huayan was also there, and when he saw Princess Huayan, Zi Xiu sighed in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he walked to a distance of about two meters from Zhenzong, bowed and saluted: "The minister has seen Your Majesty!" ”

"Flat, Lord Zheng, this is my Huayan princess, and I am also my favorite daughter, she is pleased with you and wants to call you as a colt, what do you think?" The emperor first asked Zi Xiu to get up, and then pointed to Princess Huayan next to him, and quietly watched Zi Xiu speak.
