On the first day of April, Chang'an City ushered in a warm spring breeze. The remnants of snow accumulated on the tiles turned into a trickle, dripping from the cracks in the eaves, and the bluestone floor was imprinted with wet footprints. The shouts of the stalls on the street are one after another, the young children are entangled in the lifelike sugar figures in the stalls, and the cardamom girls are looking forward to exploring the spring outside the city with their lovers, pulling the paper kites that yearn for love......

Outside Qixia in the southern city of Chang'an, a luxurious and exquisite carriage slowly galloped in, and beside it there were well-equipped iron horsemen to open the way, squeezing through the crowd.

Li Chengqian knelt in the carriage upright, opened the curtain from his side, his eyes scanned back and forth at the noisy crowd, as if the nature of a child who had been suppressed for a long time had been liberated, he smiled and said to the little girl who was doing it in front: "Lizhi, the first day of April is a good day to step into spring, today I will bring you here, I am afraid that next year it will be the eldest grandson Chong who brought you here, and the paper kite does not need to be bought in the East Market, he will cut and paste it for you by hand." ”

He made a rare joke, and sent paper kites on the day of spring, which was regarded as a token of love by the young boys and girls who "knew lust and admired Shaoai".

On New Year's Day this year, his father had already set the marriage of his eldest daughter Li Lizhi and married her to Sun Chong, the eldest son of Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao.

This is a political marriage, and it is also a kiss on a kiss.

Li Lizhen is six years old this year, although her appearance is not endlessly beautiful, but she also looks delicate and cute, and the etiquette norms of kneeling and sitting reveal a bit of good upbringing, and her weak appearance makes people can't help but feel pity.

Her petite body leaned against the carriage, and puffed out her mouth: "The prince's brother Hugh wants to tease Liqing, that eldest grandson Chong is so boring, I have seen him at my uncle's house, like a stupid goose, and I am nervous and unable to speak when I see me...... I...... I...... Even if you die, you don't want to ...... Marry him! ”

After speaking, she twisted her head to the side angrily, twisted her skirt with two small hands, as if to prove her determination, and emphasized: "If my father really wants to marry him, I will ...... Hit headlong in front of him. ”

"Lizhi Hugh wants to talk nonsense." Li Chengqian was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The eldest grandson Chong is the eldest son of his uncle, and the title of Duke of Zhao will also be inherited by him in the future. ”

"Why is the prince's brother the same as his father, his face is the same, he says the same thing, and he doesn't coax Li's beauty......" Li Li's apricot eyes were covered with a layer of mist, as if she was about to shed tears if she was a little unsatisfactory, she covered her head and cried: "I want to tell the fourth brother about this, just say it...... The prince's brother bullied Xiao Li. ”

"Blue Sparrow?" Li Chengqian frowned, thinking of Kong Yingda's scolding voice, Qingque's talent in literature surpassed that of all princes, and even his eldest brother was suppressed.

But when he thought of Li Tai's cute fat face and the situation when he was about to breathe after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but let go of his heart, the little fat man was always pitiful.

He smiled and said: "Even if you sue your fourth brother, I'm afraid what he said to you is the same, although the eldest grandson Chong is a little wooden, it is not a good match, plus you and him can be regarded as a well-known ......."

Speaking of this time, Li Chengqian's heart also sighed a few times, nearly a year passed quickly, he also ascended to the position of the prince of the Tang Dynasty from a son of the Qin Palace, and the naïve childlike fun of the past was reprimanded again and again by the auxiliary ministers of the East Palace, and he gradually drifted away, and only when he got along with Li Liqian, who was a fellow mother, could he recover a little of the nature of a child.

It was not only the eldest daughter Li Lizhi who decided to get married, but also his crown princess.

He also remembered the edict of that day clearly, drafted by the old eunuch Wang Zhen, and read it in his ear sonorously and powerfully: "The edict of the crown princess is the crown princess: worthy of virtue and Yuanliang, will be the state of the country, be the second prince, allow the crown family, the secretary Cheng Su Yan's eldest daughter, the door attack Xuan crown, the family heirloom righteousness, the supple appearance, the quiet nature, the history of the training, the reputation of the country, the right prince, and the dynasty canon." But the crown princess, the order of the ceremonial order, the master carried it out. ”

"By the way, Brother Prince, Lizhi heard that the eldest grandson Chong is going to take the medical school assessment." Li Lizhi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a narrow smile flashed on her face inadvertently.

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, knelt down and straightened upright, rubbed Li Liqian's head, and sighed: "You and the queen mother are really not like each other at all, obviously you care about it tightly, but you are still unwilling and unwilling......"

......

Qujiangfang in the south city of Chang'an is famous for its proximity to Qujiang Pond.

Qujiang Pond is named because of the twists and turns of the river and the slow flow of water, so it is named Qujiang Pond. It has been a beautiful garden since ancient times, which was excavated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty on the site of Qin Yichun Garden, and it is said that sailors were also trained here......

Later, Emperor Wen of Sui visited this place, because of the gorgeous opening of the hibiscus, and established the royal garden of the Hibiscus Garden here, Qujiang Pond was also renamed Furong Pond, and it was not changed back to the name until the early Tang Dynasty, such as the relationship between Daxing City and Chang'an City.

However, on the first day of April in the first year of Zhenguan, Qujiangchi was not only well known to the people of Chang'an, but also scholars from all over the country gradually set foot here.

The misty Qujiang Pond has red flowers and willow green, blue sky and white clouds, reflecting the water surface. On both sides of the Qujiang River, the palace is continuous, the buildings are undulating, the purple cloud building, the red wall and blue tiles of the Caixia Pavilion, the green trees are shaded, under the background of the vast microwave lake, it seems to be a beautiful watercolor painting.

The painting boat on the water is for the emperor's concubines and nobles to play. Because Qujiang Pond is in the south city, the Taiji Hall is in the north of Longshouyuan, and in the Sui Dynasty, a sandwich city along the city wall was built to facilitate the use of people in the palace.

Although this royal garden is the exclusive property of the royal family on weekdays, the people are not allowed to enter. At the end of each month or some festivals, such as the middle of February, the upper day of March, the middle of July, and the Chongyang Festival in September, it is open to the people to show the favor of the imperial court.

In addition, every March three new science and technology Jinshi in addition to the usual inscription in the wild goose pagoda, to enjoy the emperor's banquet here, by the descendants called the Qujiang banquet, and the Song Dynasty in the Qionglin Yuan banquet together.

Recently, it is a little special, the Qujiang Pond that was confined in the past is overcrowded, and the scholars with high crowns and Bo enjoy the beautiful scenery of the garden, holding the books in the line in their hands, and sniffing the fragrance of a hundred flowers, even though they feel that the taste is a little messy, but it does not affect their mood at all, and they are all confidently walking towards the direction of the Royal Academy of Medicine.

Qujiangfang is huge, and the Royal Academy of Medicine occupies only a part of the northern side.

Calamus Palace.

Hundreds of scholars were sitting precariously, and there were a few pieces of tissue paper on their tables, on which delicate patterns were depicted, and at first glance they were from everyone's hands, and when they saw the small block letters of Yan Liben written on the right corner of the paper, their hearts were naturally clear.

Yan Liben, that's a court painter.

"I didn't post the scriptures and Moyi, but put these thin pieces of paper on the table, could it be ...... Evaluate our painters....... The medical school is unusual, different from Guozijian, which I expected for a long time, but the painting is ......"

The calligraphy and painting of the readers are basically interconnected, but there are shallow and deep. Several scholars with excellent calligraphy and painting showed smug smiles.

However, as several lecturers with pale faces walked into the main hall and shouted, "The first examination of the Royal Academy of Medicine...... Gelding! “

As a result, the smiles of the scholars gradually froze.......
