Qi Jing went out a little shamelessly.

The little guy outside urged him vigorously, he had no choice but to lift his clothes and swing out of the door, and go to the front yard to take a carriage to the palace.

Qi Jing just left, and Yun Yao said to Qi Gu's family: "Mother, I have already booked a room in Qinglou, not far from the palace, a few days ago, let's go over to see peonies in the past, and we can eat and listen to books, and wait for the public examination to come out by the way." ”

Qi Gu was happy when he heard it: "This is good, let's go immediately." ”

Qi Laoniu also began to urge the people to prepare the car, and cleaned up again, and the family finally got into the carriage and went over.

When I arrived at Qinglou, I saw that there were really more people there, and the hall on the first floor was already full of people, Xiao Er came out and asked, Yun Yao immediately said the number of the private room, Xiao Er took the Qi family up the wooden stairs, until the third floor, opened a very large room and asked the Qi family to enter.

This room is quite spacious, and the windows are open on three sides, and as soon as the windows are opened, the gentle spring breeze blows, and there is a burst of warmth.

The window facing north can see the palace, the window facing south can see the market, the east facing is just facing a big garden behind the Qinglou, this season is the season when the peony is in full bloom, the people love the peony the most, there are many famous peonies planted everywhere in Chang'an, there is also a large peony garden in the backyard of this Qinglou, just this room is facing the peony garden, look past from the window facing the east, you can see that the purple and red, the flowers are like brocade.

Yinzhu and Yun Yao are both lovers of flowers, and the two of them went to the window to look at the peony while discussing which one was better, or what new products were here.

Bao Box and Bao Ling love to be lively, and the two of them climbed to the window facing the street and watched the people coming and going on the street.

Qi Baozhu and Qi Baohua were urging the food to be served, and Qi Tongsuo accompanied Qi Gu to look at the palace in the distance, when he saw a bright red patch. Qi Gu patted Qi Tongsuo's hand excitedly: "Look, is this your brother entering the palace?" ”

Immediately, Yun Yao and Yinzhu also rushed over to take a look, and they could also see it here, and they could guess in their hearts that it must be these new science and technology scholars who entered the palace, but they were a little far away from Te, and they couldn't see it clearly.

Qi Gu is very regretful. Yun Yao said, "It's okay." When the champion of Xianggong High School rode a horse and praised the official, he must have played here, and his mother could see the excitement back. ”

Only then did Qi Gu's turn to joy.

After a while, the dishes were served. Qi Baozhu and Qi Baohua didn't care about the side, they were immersed in eating vegetables, Yun Yao looked at the situation in the palace in front of the window for a while, and saw that the group of new science and technology scholars in red didn't even look at the red dots before returning.

Although Yun Yao likes to eat. But today is the day of Qi Jing's palace test, and she always thinks about Qi Jing. Not to mention that it is just ordinary and delicious, even the dragon meat is afraid that it is not fragrant.

Qi Gu and Qi Laoniu were also worried, and they didn't have much to eat.

Luckily, there was a lot of space in the room, and there were two tables in it. Yun Yao ate a few bites of food and asked Xiao Er to clean up another table, and put refreshments, dried fruits, candied fruits and the like on it, and she moved to this table with Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu to talk.

Qi Gu held the teacup nervously: "You say." The fourth elder is so cold, will His Majesty look down on him. Will you not call him Zhongjinshi? ”

Qi Laoniu was obviously also nervous, and opened his mouth to speak.

Yun Yao could only force a laugh: "Where does my mother want to go?" It's that no matter how much your majesty can't fool around in the matter of selecting talents for the country, Xianggong is a new science and technology jinshi who even has five yuan, and this time he is the top of the Huiyuan list, if his majesty can't even win it, how can he talk about governing the country. ”

This is also true, Qi Gushi also smiled when he heard it, and smiled stiffly at the corner of his mouth: "I'm always worried, alas, third sister, you look good, how do you know how much our family has suffered, my children have been bullied since they were young because they didn't grow well, and from childhood to adulthood, no matter what they do, it is more difficult than others, so that every time I think about it, it hurts in my heart." ”

Yun Yao could feel Qi Gu's sadness and distress, she leaned over and held Qi Gu's calloused hands: "Mother, you have to think so, just because others have a bad vision and can't see the good of our family, everyone has suffered a lot, but they have also practiced their skills, and they can only be so good when they grow up, you see, which one of our families is not a hundred times stronger than others, and now my sisters and sisters have found good relatives again, although Xianggong and I don't say that we should raise our eyebrows, but it is also husband and wife love, what else is there to worry about, mother, Waiting for Xianggong to win the champion this time, you are the mother of the champion, in the future, you will be an old feudal monarch at home safely, how beautiful this day is, you and your father's good days can be ahead. ”

Qi Gu and Qi Laoniu were in a much better mood when she said this.

Yun Yao took the opportunity to replace the half bowl of herbal tea in front of Qi Gu's with hot tea and brought it to her: "Mother drink a few sips of tea and press it, our family will spend it here today, when will I see the results of the palace test, and when will I go home." ”

"Okay." Qi Gu patted Yun Yao's hand: "You can also eat something, look, in the past few days, Guang has been busy with us, and you have to be busy with your cousin's affairs, and you have to be busy with the old fourth hall's trial, your whole person has lost a lot of weight, and this little chin can be used as an awl, which makes people feel distressed." ”

Yun Yao smiled: "Aren't I eating this, my mother is also eating, this candied fruit is very delicious, and this fruit...... By the way, you can taste these almonds, they taste good. ”

Qi Gu laughed as he ate all the fruits and snacks that Yun Yao brought her.

When he was bored, he started talking about books outside, Yun Yao went over and opened the door, put down the bead curtain, and the voice of the book came in so clearly.

Mr. Storyteller didn't say anything else, just said that the previous champion Kua Ma parade on the street, and said that three years ago, the new science and technology Tanhua looked very handsome, and when he was on the street, I don't know how many big girls and little daughters-in-law threw all kinds of flowers to him, all kinds of handkerchief, and even those earrings, bracelets, head flowers, etc., were thrown down as if they didn't need money, and almost smashed the face of a beautiful woman in Xintanhua.

Speaking of which, the tone of the storyteller is even more humorous, and he jokes several times, making the listeners laugh before and after.

Not to mention how the Qi family waited in Qinglou, just said that Qi Jing followed the team into the palace, and first an official from the Ministry of Etiquette came to teach everyone etiquette, teaching everyone how to face the king, how to greet the courtesy, where to take the palace test, how to hand in the test papers after the exam, etc.

Many of the young new science and technology scholars were sweating on their nervous heads, and even Xiao Zhi was extremely nervous.

Qi Jing was not nervous at all, when he entered the palace, he was ridiculed by several new science and technology scholars, and said that he dared to rub powder when he looked like this, it was really ugly, if Qi Jing had already remembered his grudge in the past, he would not have returned to secretly fight back.

But what Yun Yao said today made Qi Jing very moved, he only thought about Yun Yao, and he didn't care about others.

At this moment, his mind was the most calm, Qi Jing leaned in front of Xiao Zhi and whispered: "Brother Xiao don't have to be nervous, your majesty is the most beautiful today, you look like this is much better than me, we are both in the sky and underground, I am not afraid, you are afraid of size." ”

Although Qi Jing's words were not good, they greatly relieved Xiao Zhi's tension.

Xiao Zhiqiang smiled and clasped his hands: "I'm fine." ”

Before he finished speaking, an official of the Ministry of Rites took everyone to the place where the palace was tested, that is, the Daqing Hall in the southernmost part of the palace.

When the group entered the Daqing Palace, they saw that many officials of the Ministry of Rites were already waiting there, in addition to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, there were also some eunuchs and palace ladies shuttling around.

An official of the Ministry of Rites sang the trumpet and arranged everyone's tables, because Qi Jing was the top of the examination list, his table was at the front, and Xiao Zhi was also in front, and when these new scholars were seated, there would be eunuchs to send out the examination papers.

The palace examination is naturally not like the examination when there are many examinations, the time for the palace examination is limited, and the left is just poetry and the like.

Some of the emperor's poems, some of the test theories, fundamentally everyone likes to come, this time, the test is the policy theory, the question discussed is also extremely strange, that is, whether there is a need to expand the palace, whether there is a need to rebuild Chang'an City, so that the whole Chang'an scenery is more beautiful.

Sure enough, Emperor Chengping, who pays the most attention to face, can ask these questions in a single imperial examination.

At the moment, several new science and technology scholars turned white after getting the exam papers.

Qi Jing couldn't help frowning when he looked at the exam papers, he really wanted to fight with Emperor Chengping, although he was unhappy, but Qi Jing had to rack his brains to think about what to do with these questions.

There is no way, who called Emperor Chengping to be so face-heavy, Qi Jing could only be shameless, and when he answered the question, he wrote a lot of sycophants, and he was disgusted when he wrote it.

Qi Jing has been in Chang'an for more than half a year, and naturally understands what kind of virtue the people of Chang'an City are.

To tell the truth, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, it was supposed to be the capital of Luoyang, but I don't know how, it was about that the Great Zhou Grandpa went crazy and abandoned Luoyang to choose Chang'an, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because there were few people in the harem, and the Great Grandfather was a very thrifty emperor, this palace was a little small.

So much so that several generations of emperors wanted to expand the palace, but later, there were many merchants and ordinary people living around the palace, and these people began to march in the streets as soon as they heard that His Majesty wanted to expand the palace, resolutely opposing the palace expansion project, fearing that their homes would be demolished.

During the time of Emperor Gaozong, Gaozong discussed with the representatives of the people to build better houses for them elsewhere and asked them to move over, but the people did not agree, because they were not used to living far away, and no matter how good the house was, it was not close to the prosperity of the palace, and they had face.

There was no way, the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty could only give up the idea of expanding the palace, and no one mentioned it again, this time, Emperor Chengping actually mentioned it again.

When Qi Jing wrote the article, he affirmed Emperor Chengping's thoughts, only saying that the palace should indeed be expanded, and that Chang'an City should be rebuilt well, at least a few more open gardens, so that the people have a place to have fun after tea and dinner.

But when it comes to how to rebuild and how to relocate the residences around the palace, Qi Jing will combine the two to solve it.

After writing for more than an hour, Qi Jing finally finished writing the policy, seeing that there were no typos and no further revisions, he began to copy it on another piece of paper, and then filled in the names and everything, and then called the officials of the Ministry of Rites on the side to hand in the test papers.
