Chapter 20: Follow Me Back to the Palace (2)
After eating, Jin Yuguang called Xiao Er and packed a begonia cake.
Yu Tianqing: "When did you like sweets?" ”
Jin Yuguang: "It's not me who eats it myself, it's 'Yihua' who likes to eat it." ”
It turned out to be the parrot.
The drizzle was like silk, and a row of drainage droplets fell from the eaves, like a crystal bead curtain.
Yu Tianqing looked at the back of the horse and fell into deep thought.
A paper umbrella was above her head, shielding it from the raindrops.
Yuan Yanzhi stared at her: "Are you worried about Jin Yuguang? ”
She didn't answer, and walked forward on her own.
Yuan Yanzhi flashed into an alley, where Murong Lie was waiting.
"Ah Lie, how is the matter that asked you to investigate?"
Murong Lie: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that "Ethereal Chronicles" has the effect of reviving the dead for people whose internal strength is damaged. But this book is difficult to understand, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the mysteries. ”
Yuan Yan knew her forehead, and yesterday when he was taking medicine for her, he probed her pulse and found that there was an intermittent but surging internal force in her body, and he remembered that Jiechen was now in her palace, so he suspected that she had practiced some special exercises.
Yu Tianqing was impatient waiting in the car, and pulled out a book from under the seat to read.
The curtain was lifted, bringing in a cool air.
Yuan Yanzhi sat beside him, a few droplets of water condensed in his hair.
Yu Tianqing: "Didn't you bring an umbrella?" And drenched like this. He threw him a handkerchief.
His dark eyes were bent, and the corners of his lips curled: "Help me wipe them." ”
Yu Tianqing looked at his face that suddenly stretched out, wiped him a few times, and rubbed his hair messily by the way: "Okay." ”
He wasn't angry at all, he seemed to be enjoying it.
When it was dark, I arrived at the palace. Yu Tianqing called the egret over and said a few words to her.
Seeing Yuan Yanzhi holding a tray in his hand, the porridge in the lotus porcelain bowl was fragrant, Yu Tianqing tasted it, and there was a hint of medicinal taste in the sweetness.
"I watched the heavens, and it was raining for the past few days, so I added barley and seeds to the porridge. Didn't you say that? This is called medicinal diet. He saw that she had a few rashes on her hands, and he must have developed eczema because he didn't pay attention to maintenance.
There was a shallow tenderness in his eyes.
After so long, he even remembered. Yu Tianqing lowered his head and quickly drank not a drop of porridge.
Seeing this, the egret sighed in her heart, she has always been responsible for taking care of the king's diet, but now, she is not as careful as an outsider!
The two had a meal, Yu Tianqing was scribbling on the paper, Yuan Yanzhi was holding a book, and the air was full of silence.
"When will you go back to the Yuan Dynasty? The king of a country, going out for too long, is bound to cause gossip. ”
Yuan Yanzhi moved his gaze to her face: "At this point, I have made complete preparations, you don't have to worry." But you, how are you going to deal with it tomorrow morning? ”
"They asked the prime minister to lift the ban, and I fulfilled them, but they also had to comply with my conditions."
Yuan Yanzhi: "Let me guess, the candidate for the secretary of the military department is not above the court." Am I right? ”
Yu Tianqing: "Look at your book!" "This guy is so smart that people are scared.
Above the court, everyone watched Yu Tianqing coming, there was a faint alienation on her face, and her wide skirt was behind her, revealing a trace of elegance and luxury.
Yelan played first: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has been in retreat for 50 days, and next month is the Emperor's birthday. ”
After being reminded by Ye Lanyi, Yu Tianqing suddenly remembered that next month would be the birthday of this body.
The ministers fell to their knees and shouted, "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”
Yu Tianqing: "The prime minister is the important minister of the country, and today the king will issue an order to order the prime minister to go out of the customs to calm the hearts of the people!" ”
Ye Lan saw that Yu Tianqing agreed, and secretly rejoiced in her heart, and said: "The traitor Hai Yueyi of the Ministry of War has been imprisoned, and now the six gods of the Ministry of War have no master, and the position of Shangshu has been hanging for a long time, I am afraid that it will affect the morale of the army, so I should decide on the candidate as soon as possible, and the minister recommends it..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yu Tianqing: "Since the ancestors, I have selected officials in Danhua, and they have all passed the autumn palace examination. Ben Wang has been thinking about it every day, Danhua is developing day by day, and it is time to change the selection system. The king decided to add a spring palace test. ”
As soon as he spoke, the entire court was in an uproar.
Night Blue: "Your Majesty! There is no shortage of officials in our country! In the case of the Ministry of War, there are 20 candidates! Wouldn't there be more candidates for the spring palace examination to be added? ”
Yu Tianqing: "This time, the city lords no longer recommend personnel, and all the candidates who are now standing above the court hall must participate in the palace examination." ”
The officials standing at the end of the line immediately began to discuss. There are very few candidates who have survived for decades, and they can't get ahead. Now, they are participating in the spring exam, if they can't pass it, won't they be abandoned?
Yu Tianqing: "You can rest assured, this palace test, no dismissal, no layoffs, those who do not pass, this king will arrange other official positions." There will be adjustments to the grades and grades. ”
Yelan knew that she couldn't dissuade Yu Tianqing, so she thought in her heart that she had to discuss with the prime minister as soon as possible.
After getting off the court, Yu Tianqing took a sedan chair, and within walking a few meters, he saw Yuan Yanzhi walking over with a person. This person has a delicate face, red lips, cloud-like hair, and a lute in his arms. The palace maids who passed back and forth constantly showed their admiration.
Yu Tianqing's faint eyes shrank suddenly, three years later, she was still like a blank sheet of paper in front of Yuan Yanzhi.
Welcoming the two into the imperial study, An Bai made a salute in a proper manner: "Your Majesty!" ”
Yu Tianqing: "An Bai, this king has been looking for talented and ambitious men in the country, are you willing to enter the court as an official?" If Danhua's predicament is to be broken, it is necessary to put the status of men and women at the same level, she definitely does not approve of a patriarchal society, but she will not be feminist.
An Bai's eyes were full of surprise: "Your Majesty, what you said is true?" ”
Yu Tianqing: "A few days ago, you wrote an article that the current situation of Danhua Kingdom was criticized by you for being incomplete, and this matter was made a big fuss by Yu Ming and threatened to be imprisoned and beheaded. You can't help but drink and talk to them every day. Is this king right? ”
An Bai lowered his eyes: "That's true." "He stayed with those people night and night, just to save his life.
Yu Tianqing: "On the eighth day of the first month of next month, this king will hold a spring palace test. If you come to participate, you will definitely get something out. ”
An Bai agreed without hesitation, and withdrew with the pipa in his arms.
Yuan Yanzhi took off his mask, there was a strangulation mark next to his ear, and he said lightly: "An Bai has both talent and virtue, and he is a good candidate." The only downside is ......"
Yu Tianqing raised her eyebrows: "What is it?" You can't be jealous that he's prettier than you, right? ”
Yuan Yanzhi curled his lips, like a bright first quarter moon in the night sky.
"His appearance is both an advantage and a disadvantage."
As he was talking, the voice of the egret came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the prime minister asks to see you." ”
Yuan Yanzhi put on a mask and quickly flashed behind the bead curtain.
Yu Ming hurriedly walked inside and bent down to salute. I haven't seen her for many days, she seems to have gained some weight, and her pampered face is very smooth and tender, and the whole person shows a noble state.
She thanked for the grace and then made small talk.
Yu Tianqing: "If the prime minister has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Yu Ming's eyes showed shrewdness, and said, "The king proposed to increase the spring palace examination, and the lower officials thought it was excellent. But there is one thing that the minister does not know, above the court, there are now 60 candidate officials, and the official vacancy is only the post of secretary of the military department, how does the king plan to place the unsuccessful candidates? ”
Yu Tianqing: "This king has his own arrangements. The prime minister must have other ideas, right? ”
Yu Ming: "The questions of the autumn palace examination in the past years were all formulated in advance after the six departments were discussed. As soon as the minister left the prime minister's mansion, he discussed the topic with several other colleagues and asked the king to look at it. ”
Anyway, present a golden book.
Yu Tianqing waved his hand: "This time, this king will make a proposition himself." ”
Yu Ming thought for a while and said, "Then the lower official will retreat first." ”
After Yuming left, Yuan Yanzhi walked out.
"This jade tea is really an old fox. The purpose of her coming here is to force you to confirm the exam questions, so that her people will have a greater chance of winning! ”
Yu Tianqing sneered: "In this case, the position of the secretary of the military department cannot be decided by her." ”
The egret hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Yu Tianqing's ear. Yu Tianqing was shocked and followed the egret to the Dust Palace.
The door of the palace of the Dust Palace was wide open, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a woman in a pink skirt standing, she put a sword on her neck, and a cold voice resounded throughout the hall: "Although I am not a famous family, but you doubt me so much, you are humiliating me!" I will die today! ”
Her sword flashed, and she was about to wipe her neck and kill herself.
The egret grabbed the porcelain bowl on the table and threw it over, and his hand went numb, and the sword fell to the ground.
Yu Tianqing: "Linbo, let's go out of the palace today!" Now, the whole palace can't accommodate you. ”
When Lin Bo heard this, he knelt on the ground with his knees soft, his beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes flashed with tears. The egret lifted Lin Bo up and walked out of the temple gate.
Yu Tianqing looked at Jue Chen, from beginning to end, his face was always indifferent, like a guest listening to the play in a teahouse, no matter how this scene turns a thousand times, it is none of his business.
Yu Tianqing: "Juechen, why is this?" ”
Jedi Chen: "You go and ask her." ”
Yu Tianqing was furious: "I know that emotional matters cannot be forced, but she has been in danger for you several times, how can you break her heart everywhere?" I really want to dig out your heart and see what the hell you're thinking! ”
Jiechen raised his head: "What are you thinking again?" I know that I have no feelings for her, but I match everywhere, not to mention that it is because Linbo is pitiful, there are people in this world who are more pitiful than her. Why force others to do something you can't do yourself? ”
Yu Tianqing was speechless for a while, and shouted at the palace people outside the door: "The Guichen Palace is closed for three days, and no food is allowed to be delivered!" ”
Back in the Purple Qi West Hall, Yuan Yan saw her puffing out, and suddenly felt funny and handed her a cup of tea.
She gulped down her tea, as if she wanted to extinguish the anger in her heart.
"What? That kid is disobedient? ”
