"Hey...... My mother won't let me go to find Brother Ziran. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Yan Ruojiu lay on the head of the bed and sighed for a while.

"What, Ziran Gongzi is not your brother, what's wrong?" Ye Qing didn't understand, although she had only been by Yan Ruojiu's side for a short time, she had already seen the status of the Zi Ran Gongzi who had never met in the hearts of the girl and the old lady, so this curiosity also rose.

"Mother said that Brother Ziran is going to try, so don't disturb him studying during this time." Yan Ruojiu snorted angrily: "I'm very well-behaved, I have never disturbed Ziran's brother Wen Shu, my mother is too uncomfortable to say this." ”

"Will you try? Hiss...... That's a very important exam, and many scholars have been studying hard for decades just for an exam in the capital, which is really important. Ye Qing said truthfully.

"Brother Ziran is not one of those dull scholars, he is very knowledgeable, so naturally he doesn't have to study as hard as those individuals." Yan Ruojiu was proud when she said this.

"Hehe, looking at the girl's knowledge, thinking about Ziran's knowledge should be very good." Ye Qing smiled and handed over a cup of almond tea and said, "Girl, change your posture and eat some tea." ”

Yan Ruojiu rolled over when she heard this, half-sat and took the teacup and ate two bites, raised her eyebrows and said, "Colostrum?" ”

"What?" Ye Qing was stunned.

Yan Ruojiu suddenly smiled and asked, "This is almond tea with colostrum added?" ”

"Uh......" Ye Qing was amused in his heart, he was still angry and aggrieved just now, how could this topic immediately turn to the teacup in his hand.

"Isn't it?" Yan Ruojiu was a little suspicious when she saw Ye Qing's surprised face.

"Hmm...... Yes, this is almond tea with colostrum, which was boiled by the lady herself, and it is said that the girl likes to eat it most in winter, so I specially cooked some more that has been prepared in the small kitchen, and I just brought the slave. Ye Qing explained with a smile.

"Hey...... Brother Ziran also likes this almond tea, hey, ......" Yan Ruojiu's topic complained again.

"Girl, don't worry, before you come back today, Madame has arranged for the slave's younger brother to go out and send a large urn of hot almond tea to Ziran Gongzi's house, and he may be eating with a tea cup like the girl now." Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Mother arranged it?" Yan Ruojiu was a little excited.

"Naturally, the slave maid can see that Mrs. is really distressed by Zi Ran's son, just like she feels sorry for you and Wen Xiu's little son, so it is normal for Mrs. to be worried, and the slave maid heard from other people in the courtyard that this time the test is what is the ten-year Son of Heaven test, saying that if it is on the list, then it is the protégé of the Son of Heaven, which is much higher than the previous year's test, I heard that the sons in the house are preparing for it." Ye Qing told Yan Ruojiu the news of the inquiry.

"Really? Protégé of the Son of Heaven? So special this year? Yan Ruojiu was also a little in a trance.

"Well, it should be, anyway, the sons in the other courtyards are hurrying to prepare, I heard that they often read at night, and recently even the old lady has exempted their invitation, saying that it is to let them study with peace of mind and prepare for the exam, so it should be a very important time to try." Ye Qing pouted and commented.

"No wonder my mother is so nervous, if that's the case, then there will be more people who have this idea." Yan Ruojiu seemed to have figured out something.

"Who's to say it's not?" Ye Qing also smiled.

Yan Ruojiu and Ye Qing chatted, and said, this depressed mood was also relieved a lot, but this time I didn't mention it, but the palace was also lively because of this meeting of the Son of Heaven.

In the main hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, a group of old ministers were discussing fiercely around Emperor Jiang Yehua, and the emperor was eating tea while raising his eyebrows and seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact, only the emperor knew whether this heart was in his heart.

After a while, the emperor put down the teacup in his hand and smiled slightly: "Hmm...... What you Aiqing said is very reasonable, but this year is the Son of Heaven Enke, although these topics are good, but I still want to try the questions myself, in the end I have to be worthy of the name of this Son of Heaven Enke. ”

"That is naturally a blessing for the students, if the emperor personally came up with the question, then the title of the protégé of this son of heaven is well deserved." An old minister stroked his beard and agreed.

"Having said that, in previous years, there were three trials and three tests, and the third time could only be tested in the palace, if the emperor revealed his intention so early, I'm afraid it would be a little inappropriate." An old minister objected.

"It's just the first written test, since it's the Son of Heaven Enke, wouldn't it be more graceful for the emperor to come up with the questions for the three tests, and Weichen thinks it's a good way." Yan Shujie, the head of the Hanlin Academy, agreed.

"Wechen agrees, but when do you plan to come out of this test question, Your Majesty, Wechen and others can also follow the layout of this question." A minister, who was also a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, mentioned a further arrangement.

"This is not in a hurry, I naturally have an arrangement, this year I also want to arrange all the princes and the students who have reached the age of the palace school to give it a try, first, to try their knowledge, don't waste such good resources, and secondly, let them know what it means to know what it means to have mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, suppressing and suppressing their arrogant momentum, so that they can be more restrained and more steady, so the questions of this exam must be given by me, whether it is fair or selfish, I just want to see what these children of the family can do. Emperor Jiang Yehua darkened his eyes and said.

As soon as the emperor said this, the hall instantly quieted down, until just now the ministers in the hall still thought that this son of heaven Enke was going to be the same as in previous years, but it was just a form of walking around in the name of the protégé of the son of heaven, but now after listening to the emperor's careful and meticulous arrangements, and hearing that the emperor hopes that the prince can also participate, everyone looked at each other in surprise, and this heart seems to have silently begun to pay attention to it.

"What, what do you think of my arrangement?" When the emperor saw that everyone was quiet, he knew that he was going to pretend to be very confused and asked.

"This ...... Your Majesty, the ministers have been carefully preparing for this examination, because it is the Son of Heaven Enke, so the ministers are extremely cautious, and the identities of the reference students have all been verified, but now the emperor is going to pull the princes of the appropriate age and the noble students in the palace school together, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep up with this arrangement. One of the ministers was a little worried.

"Weichen agreed, this time the Son of Heaven Enke is special, and the students who signed up have already been screened and screened after five levels and six generals, and now they suddenly join the prince and the children of the nobles of the family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be fair." Another minister objected.

"Yes, it's okay if it's arranged half a year early." Yan Shujie also said after a long time.

"Why, my prince and the students in this palace school can't stand the test of the folk students, if so, what am I still raising them for? As relatives of the emperor and the nobles of the family, this major matter of the court should be something they have to shoulder more, if it is not as good as the folk students, then they should be hit and have a good time to introspect, these should not be an excuse. Emperor Jiang Yehua sneered.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present were all in a cold sweat, no one thought that the emperor would be so resolute, everything in the past could be discussed, but today's matter, listening to the emperor's tone as if it could not be refused, it made these ministers who are pampered on weekdays tremble a little.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, everyone seemed to have no idea, and after a long time, the emperor smiled slightly: "Everyone, Aiqing, I have this idea to urge these cynical sons of the family to rein in their hearts, my world can't always keep idle people, what do you say?" ”

"Yes, what the emperor said is natural, and the ministers think the same, since the emperor has this arrangement, then the ministers have the natural right to cooperate and fully cooperate." The most senior minister in the position was the first to react, and immediately expressed his attitude according to the emperor's intentions.

"Yes, the ministers agree with the emperor's arrangement, so they naturally go all out." Seeing this, the rest of the ministers immediately followed suit, everyone looked like they were ready to fight, very supportive, and no one dared to oppose anything, for fear that the idlers in the emperor's words would point at themselves.

Seeing everyone's concurring attitude, the emperor couldn't help but have a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Since everyone has no other intentions, then this matter is so decided for the time being, all Aiqing will go down first to continue to prepare, and all other process matters will be the same, and the children of the royal family and nobles should also be treated equally, and they should not be treated with special preferential treatment. "The emperor has achieved his own goal, so naturally he will no longer keep these ministers in the hall to be an eyesore, but directly wave his hand and let him disperse.

When the ministers heard this, they had no choice but to salute and disperse, and they retreated, until they went down the dragon steps of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and these ministers gathered together and discussed in surprise, but these were no longer the focus of the emperor's concern, and this will, the ministers left, and the five princes were summoned to come to the audience.

The emperor ate a few sips of tea, adjusted his mood, and met the five princes with a smile.

The five princes entered the Heart Cultivation Hall and calmly asked for peace, and then respectfully waited for the emperor to speak.

Seeing this, the emperor smiled and said, "It's been a few days since I came back, but I haven't had time to see you, how about it, are you still used to following your uncle Wang to the south?" ”

"If you go back to your father, you are used to it, and it is not the first time that Erchen has left Beijing, but this time I have learned a lot from Uncle Wang, but unfortunately the time is too short, and I haven't had time to go deeper, but Erchen is also strange these days, I don't know why my father summoned Erchen to return to Beijing quickly?" The fifth prince asked.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, this year is the Son of Heaven Enke, it's time to take the exam, I think you are the royal nobles who have reached the age, and the children of the family should also try your skills, in the end, let me see your strength, so I will temporarily recall you to participate in this year's exam." The Emperor explained.

"Let the retainers take the exam?" The fifth prince was a little surprised.

"What, don't want to?" The Emperor asked.

"Naturally not, Erchen thinks that this is indeed a good opportunity to show his talents, Ke'er has a special status as a prince, even if he participates as he wishes, it is really difficult to be treated fairly, isn't this worth the loss?" The five princes are not afraid, but they are worried about the preferential treatment and injustice that hinder their status.

"You don't have to worry about this, since I said it, I will naturally be prepared, you just need to go to the exam, and other questions are not a problem." The Emperor said with a smile.

"So, my father has already arranged it?" The fifth prince asked.

"Naturally, otherwise I wouldn't have to go to such a great deal of trouble to recall you thousands of miles away, you just need to prepare for the exam and don't lose too much shame." The Emperor said something hintively.

"Please rest assured that my father will naturally take it seriously and go all out, and I will never let my father and the court lose face." The fifth prince is confident slowly.

"That's the best, by the way, I forgot to ask, how was Prince Rong's birthday yesterday? Didn't that kid from Zhengxi promise to come to the palace today to pay a visit, why didn't he see anyone until this meeting? After arranging the business, the emperor remembered that the little slippery head Jiang Zhengxi was here again.
