Chapter 54: Admission to Hongbunkan

"Master Hou, today is the day you enter the palace to enroll, hurry up."

Early in the morning, Long'er walked into Xuan Shijing's room with toiletries, and saw Xuan Shijing sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes, and hurriedly urged.

"Long'er, even if it's spring out of the first month, Master Hou, I'm guilty of spring sleepiness." Xuan Shijing muttered indistinctly.

"I know, I know, Hou Ye said, spring sleepy, autumn lack of hibernation, summer nap, I really don't know what season Hou Ye is the season when you are not sleepy." Long'er put down her things, walked to the bed, and dragged Xuan Shijing up: "Little Marquis, you better hurry up and wash up, it's not early, your breakfast and lunch have been put on the carriage, you are in the palace at noon, Long'er can't see it, and you can only ask for more blessings." ”

At this time, Xuan Shijing had already sobered up, and asked while washing his face, "There is no food in the palace?" ”

"My little marquis, it is already a great gift for Your Majesty to order the sons of many high-ranking officials and nobles to enter the palace and enter the Hongwen Pavilion, and you still expect the Shangshi Bureau to allocate people to help prepare lunch." Long'er took advantage of Xuan Shijing's time to wash up, and prepared the robe and cloak that Xuan Shijing was going to wear: "Every morning, Gao Jun will send the Hou Ye to the palace gate, and after school in the afternoon, Gao Jun will also wait for the little Hou Ye at the palace gate." ”

"Isn't this from today onwards, Gao Jun will become my personal driver, what a waste." Xuan Shijing reached out and put on the robe that Long'er handed over.

"What kind of waste is not wasted, although Gao Jun said that his martial arts are not as good as mine, but his light skills are first-class, and he can protect Hou Ye on the road, even if he can't beat him, he will escape with Hou Ye."

"I have no grievances with others, who can come to trouble me." Xuan Shijing was a little unimpressed.

"That's not necessarily, little marquis, you don't know that the occasional friction between the sons and daughters of the nobles of Chang'an City, if you don't agree with each other, you may have a big fight." Long'er draped the cloak on Xuan Shijing's shoulders.

"Master Hou, I entered the palace to study, and I didn't go to those fireworks and willow alleys to compete for the wind and be jealous." Xuan Shijing smiled slightly, then opened the door and walked out, it was really not early outside, the first day of school, it was always bad to be late.

Out of the first month, Chang'an City has returned to the bustling and prosperous past, the willow trees on both sides of the street have drawn out tender green branches, indicating the coming spring, sure enough, spring is the revival of all things, the season of the growth of all souls, open the curtain of the carriage, a breeze blows through Xuan Shijing's cheeks, but the feeling is extremely warm, not as dry and cold as the north wind in winter.

The carriage traveled to the gate of the palace, Xuan Shijing jumped out of the carriage, Gao Jun took out Xuan Shijing's food box from the carriage, and followed Xuan Shijing all the way to the palace gate, where the eunuchs of the Yellow Gate were already waiting.

"The slave has seen the Marquis of Xuanwei." The little eunuch saw Xuan Shijing coming over and bowed.

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, dare to ask father-in-law's name." Xuan Shijing said as he gestured to Gao Jun behind him.

"Back to the Hou Ye, slave and maid Qishou." The little eunuch replied respectfully.

Gao Jun saw the signal of his Hou Ye, took out a string of copper coins from his cuffs, and handed it to Qi Shou quietly: "Qi Shou father-in-law, my Hou Ye is enrolled on the first day of school today, and I hope my father-in-law will take care of it." ”

"The slave and maid thanked Master Hou." Qi Shou checked the copper coin in his hand, and his face was happy: "The little marquis will be taken to the Hongwen Pavilion by the slave maid today, recognize the way, and each son can accompany the scholar when he enters the palace, and the little marquis can bring the scholar into the palace in the future." ”

Xuan Shijing nodded, it turned out that he was going to take a scholar, and glanced at Gao Jun behind him, he had already asked you to prepare for all the affairs of the start of school, but now there is still a shortage of scholars.

Gao Jun was in a cold sweat in his heart, it was indeed his own negligence, and he forgot to find a scholar for Hou Ye.

"Little Hou Ye, the people from Erxian Village have already settled down, or I'll go back and find someone for you." Gao Jun asked cautiously.

"Huh? All settled? I really forgot about this, I arranged the scholar's matter myself, you go to Zhuangzi with Uncle Zhong to help me see how the papermaking workshop is built. Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Master Hou." Gao Jun responded, and then handed the food box in his hand to Qishou: "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”

"It should." Qishou smiled and took the food box in Gao Jun's hand.

After Gao Jun said goodbye to Xuan Shijing, he drove the carriage out of the palace gate, and Xuan Shijing followed this Qishou all the way to the Hongwen Hall in the palace.

When Xuan Shijing arrived at the Hongwen Pavilion, there were already many people gathered here, all dressed in brocade and mink, accompanied by their own scholars.

"Father-in-law Qishou, who are those female dependents? Also here to enroll? Xuan Shijing saw that there were three women in the crowd with handsome bodies and beautiful faces, followed by several palace maids, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Little Marquis, those are the three princesses of Changle, Baling, and Linchuan, who got His Majesty's will and enrolled in Hongwen Hall together." Qishou said.

No wonder there are so many princes and sons around, it turned out to be princesses, Xuan Shijing tilted his head and looked at the three princesses in the crowd, to say that several princesses of the Li family are also famous in history, especially the princess Gaoyang, presumably the princess Gaoyang is still in infancy, Xuan Shijing remembered the graceful Fang Yiai he met in Yanlai Building that day, and secretly attached to his heart, poor baby.

"Xiao Jing, this way."

"Brother Shijing."

Xuan Shijing was looking at the three proud daughters of the sky, and when he heard someone shouting about him, he turned his head to look in the crowd, and found that Li Chongyi and Qin Ying were waving to him not far away, and there were Chai Lingwu and another teenager on the side.

Xuan Shijing turned and walked over there.

"Brother Chongyi, Brother Huaiyu, this is ......" Xuan Shijing looked at the young man standing next to him.

"This is Brother Chu Mo's younger brother, Cheng Huailiang, Chu Mo and the two brothers of the Wei Chi family went to the army together, and he asked us to take care of his younger brother before leaving." Li Chongyi said.

"In the next Cheng Huailiang, presumably this is the Marquis of Xuanwei." Cheng Huailiang stepped forward and arched his hand.

Xuan Shijing looked at Cheng Huailiang carefully, different from Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi, this Cheng Huailiang is not as big as Cheng Yanjin, but he has a good appearance, wearing a Confucian shirt, and he looks a bit literati.

"Brother Huailiang doesn't have to be polite, just call me Xiaojing." Hyun Se-kyung responded with a smile.

"Xiaojing, you didn't bring a scholar?" Li Chongyi saw that there was only one little Yellow Gate eunuch beside Xuan Shijing.

"Yes, I was negligent, I will bring someone tomorrow, and it is really inconvenient to enter the palace without a person." Xuan Shijing said, and suddenly found that there was one person missing, so he asked, "What about Brother Ling Wu?" ”

"Brother Ling Wu is looking for Fang." Qin Ying's color motioned for Xuan Shijing to look to the other side.

Following Qin Ying's gaze, Xuan Shijing saw Chai Lingwu in the crowd around the three princesses.

"Brother Ling Wu is really ......," Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly.
