As soon as the emperor walked into the gate of Changkun Palace, a voice suddenly came: "The emperor is here, knock on the emperor!" ”

At first, the emperor thought that it was a palace man who was greeting him, but he looked around, but he didn't see anyone, and finally found two birdcages under the corridor of the main hall of Changkun Palace, which contained parrots jumping around. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The parrot said again at this time: "Long live the emperor, the emperor is auspicious!" ”

Only then did the emperor realize that the "knock to see the emperor" just now was said by a parrot.

The Emperor knew at a glance that one of the two parrots must have found one of several children to play with.

The little palace maid standing at the door of the main hall curtsied and saluted him: "The slave has seen the emperor." "Saying that, I plan to go in and spread the word that Emperor Lin Yan is here.

The Emperor waved his hand at them, indicating that there was no need to pass it on. Then I saw that the two parrots in the cage had shiny feathers, green and pleasant, the head was yellow, the wings were blue, and the tail was red.

After a while, he entered the inner sanctum.

In the palace, the little prince Huan and Princess Jue sat on the couch on the side, and there was a birdcage in each hand, and the birdcage was filled with a parrot.

Prince Huan and Princess Jue looked at each other with hostility, and then Princess Jue bowed her head and taught the parrot in her cage and said: "Huan'er is too bad, you said, 'Huan'er is a bad guy', say it quickly!" ”

And Lin Yan was sitting on the couch, looking through a book, and didn't care about the lawsuit between the little prince Huan and Princess Jue.

As he walked over, the Emperor asked, "There are two parrots from there, and one of them each has one in their hands." ”

Because there were no outsiders, Lin Yan didn't bother to get up and salute, moved her position to make way for the emperor, and replied to him: "Playing in the imperial garden during the day, the two of them brought the little eunuch to catch crickets, but where are the crickets in this season, and in the end only a few larvae were caught back." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a blue and white porcelain cup with a lid on the table opposite, and said, "No, it's all there, they said they would raise it and wait until autumn to fight crickets." After finishing speaking, he put down the book and said: "Later, Gonggong Ye saw that they didn't catch crickets, so he found them a few talking parrots." The two hanging under the porch outside are Rui'er and Jun'er's. ”

The Emperor couldn't help but laugh as he listened.

Princess Jue couldn't fight with the little prince Huan, so she came over to the emperor with a cage, pulled the emperor's sleeve and twisted her body and asked, "Father, tell me, is my parrot more powerful." ”

The little prince Huan held his small chin and deliberately angered her: "My General Xiao is amazing!" ”

Princess Jue was dissatisfied: "My General Da Xiao is more powerful than yours. ”

Whether it is "General Xiao" or "General Xiao", they are the names they give to their parrots.

Lin Yan shook her head and said to them: "If you want to be more powerful, then you teach them to speak first, and then come back tomorrow to compare, whichever parrot can say more will be powerful." ”

Lin Yan thought they were arguing here, so she stretched out her hand and pushed them, and said to them: "Go quickly, go outside and teach your generals to speak, and tomorrow the queen mother will be the referee for you." Saying that, let Mu Zhi and Mu Lan take them out to play.

After the two noisy little guys went out, Lin Yan could talk to the emperor quietly, and asked the emperor with a smile: "The emperor ordered Wang Yan to be a tanhualang?" ”

The emperor snorted and said, "Didn't you already know that you had been asking people outside the Taihe Hall to inquire about the news all day long. ”

Lin Yan said again: "I heard that the third palace in Chunfu is also very good, and Wang Yan is almost indistinguishable, the emperor ordered Wang Yan to explore the flowers, so which one can only succumb to the inheritance, won't it be because Wang Yan is my brother-in-law?" ”

Emperor: "The imperial examination is to select useful talents for the imperial court, and it is not child's play." I chose Wang Yan as a flower, naturally because I value Wang Yan's talent. Although the other royal prelude pair is also very good, the idea is too romantic, and the point of view put forward by Wang Yan is not as down-to-earth. ”

Lin Yan sighed and said, "Although the emperor thinks so, outsiders don't necessarily think so. ”

Especially the third one in Chunyu is very good-looking, and because he has been in the capital since last year, he has been competing with people everywhere in the capital for a few months, and he has left a reputation that knows the world, and this imperial examination will be able to be among the top three. But he took the third exam in the spring exam, and was finally squeezed down by Wang Yan in the palace exam, and he was afraid that he would not be convinced.

And Wang Yan happens to be the brother-in-law of her queen, who is deeply favored by the emperor, and is also the grandson of Wang Shoufu, although Wang Shoufu has avoided suspicion during the palace examination, but such an identity is still very sensitive, which will make people think of the word "nepotism".

The emperor glanced at Lin Yan and asked, "Why, do you think that I chose him as a tanhua because of your relationship?" ”

Lin Yan is indeed a little suspicious.

Therefore, even she would have such thoughts, let alone those outside who did not know.

On the royal house.

The official who reported the good news that Wang Yan had just left to explore the flowers, and the Wang family was immersed in joy.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang were extremely happy, and Mrs. Wang exhaled even more, and then there was honor. Let the subordinates open the door of the house and prepare a feast to entertain those who come to congratulate them.

Even Wang Shoufu couldn't help but brush his beard with a smile, with a little pride on his face - this grandson, who he had personally taught since he was a child, finally lived up to his expectations.

Lin Wan is also happy, Wang Yan is only twenty years old this year, and throughout the ages, there are less than ten fingers on his fingers who have passed the Tanhua exam at such a young age.

Although Lin Wan sometimes dislikes a scholar like Wang Yan a little sour, the title of Mrs. Tanhua is still very good-how you raise your eyebrows when you go out!

However, Wang Yan was not as happy as them, although he didn't say anything, and he was smiling when he greeted the guests, but there was a sadness in his expression that could not be dissolved.

Lin Wan and Wang Yan have been husband and wife for so long, and Wang Yan can still feel whether he is happy or not, so when it was evening, Lin Wan looked at Wang Yan and asked, "Xianggong, are you unhappy?" ”

Wang Yan took her hand and smiled faintly, "No." ”

Lin Yan thought that he was unhappy because he didn't get the top prize, and persuaded him: "I said Xianggong, don't have such high requirements for yourself, it's great that you can get the top spot in the exam, and you don't necessarily have to be the champion." If you want me to say, there is no difference between the champion and the tanhua. Be happy, don't always be sad about this. ”

Wang Yan looked at her and smiled, reached out and touched her head.

However, within two days, a stream of gossip diluted the joy of the Wang family.

I don't know where this rumor started, and then the streets began to talk about it, saying that Wang Yan was able to be hit by the emperor, relying on the emperor's brother-in-law, and it was the queen's mother who blew the pillow wind in front of the emperor.

The queen originally wanted her brother-in-law to be the champion, but the emperor refused to regard the imperial examination as child's play, and he didn't want to make the queen unhappy, so he finally ordered Wang Yan to visit the flowers to appease.

When Lin Wan heard this, her face turned green with anger, and she scolded: "Which bastard is spreading rumors, don't let me know, otherwise I will tear his mouth apart." (To be continued.) )
