Chapter 70: The Ceremony of Recruiting Horses
"Xianggong, didn't you go to participate in the literary examination audition? can you get the top three, Zhao Lingxin's fox charm, are you still waiting for you to marry her? ”
In the mansion of the Shilang Mansion, after seeing Liu Huayun, who was full of alcohol, Liu Ruoping couldn't help frowning and saying strangely.
"Sister Ping, don't worry, everything is under control, look at what kind of treasure this is."
With a snackful smile, Liu Huayun took out the wooden brocade box from his arms and handed it to the little demon girl in front of him.
"Ah, this ginseng is so big and lifelike, I'm afraid it is at least four or five hundred years old, and it is worth at least thousands of taels of silver, where did you get it."
Opening the brocade box and seeing the ginseng king bound by red silk inside, Liu Ruoping immediately asked in surprise.
"The fourth prince of the Jurchen, Yinzhen, invited me to drink, and gave it to me when I was leaving, Sister Ping, you put it away first, and after your sisters add Dingava to our family, it can also be used to replenish the body......"
Ginseng, that is a good thing to replenish vitality, with Emperor He Yu's love for his eldest wife, don't say a thousand-year-old ginseng, even if it is other tribute, as long as she is pregnant, it should be rewarded;
Therefore, although Liu Huayun will not hide this matter from He Yu, He Jin and his son, he will not take out the good things he has in hand, so he is very light when he talks about it.
"It's okay, it's just that there is only one ginseng, but there are seven of our sisters, who are you going to give it to?"
Although he lived in Shilang's Mansion for only a few days, when he rested at night, he had a lot of trouble with him, and he didn't take any measures, so it was inevitable that he would be pregnant;
The little demon girl who covered the brocade box asked with a smile while rubbing the box.
"Well, how can there be only one? With the means of your father-in-law, it's not a piece of cake to get him ten or eight......"
This kind of question of women's competition for favor is the last thing Liu Huayun wants to answer, after all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat;
Therefore, he simply smiled coquettishly and said this nonsense.
Hearing that he refused to answer directly, Liu Ruoping snorted lightly, put away Queen Shen, and no longer dwelled on this.
When he returned to Shilang's Mansion, it was already afternoon, and in the next time, Liu Huayun went into the laboratory again and began to tinker.
I think tomorrow is the day when the results of the marriage will be announced, and everyone is quietly waiting; It was very calm in the capital, and nothing major happened until late at night, and the time soon arrived in the morning of the second day.
The morning sun hangs on the eastern sky, sprinkling the glow of the clouds, rendering the splendid palace more holy and solemn.
Outside a wide hall in the imperial city, the civil and military ministers lined up on both sides, and the envoys of the four countries were listed except for the middle-aged attendant next to Akihito Hiromiya, who was replaced by Tokugawa Ichiro.
dressed in a moon-white satin talent suit, Liu Huayun, Lin Feng, and Lu Zixin look very suave;
Under the guidance of Fan Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he stood beside Yinzhen and others with two other heroic young men wearing soft armor.
Liu Huayun has never seen two young generals, one is Luo Fei, the son of Luo Yu, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and Zhao Lingxin's aunt and cousin, and the other is Zhao Gang, the son of Zhao Jingyan, the secretary of the military department;
Needless to ask, these two people were able to participate in Princess Yunling's horse recruitment ceremony because of their father and the back door for her.
"I'll go, the little devil can bear it, but after today, I'll see how you can bear it."
Under the displeased gaze of Ge Hongqin, Zheng Xin, Song Ting and other ministers, Liu Huayun glanced at Tokugawa Ichiro as if no one was around; Knowing that he was because of the big event of his relatives, he didn't take action to rescue Aoki-kun and the others without authorization, and he couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart.
"Brother Jing, this son was demoted to an acting squire just the day before yesterday, how did he become the top three in the selection of the literary examination today......"
An official beside Jing Yu who was close to him couldn't help but whisper after seeing Liu Huayun in the middle of Lin Feng and Lu Zixin.
"Hmph, it's not that he coveted Princess Yunling and went to participate in the literary exam......"
"The emperor has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess have arrived!"
Just when Jing Yu was about to explain to the man angrily, with the singing of Xu Dafu, the head of the inner house, the people around him immediately quieted down, and everyone looked at the Huangluo umbrella cover on the platform.
Dafeng's Princess Yunling, except for Liu Huayun, not only the envoys of the four countries have never seen her, but even a cadre of civil ministers and military generals have never seen her true face, so everyone can't help but be curious.
As time went by, I saw a beautiful woman with a slender and graceful figure, walking like a fairy, white clothes like snow, black hair hanging down her shoulders, an ordinary hosta stuck in her sideburns, and no other headdress;
and Qing'er behind him, followed the old emperor He Yu, and slowly came with He Jin.
"Is she Princess Yunling? It's so beautiful, it's not worse than Liu Ruoxi's stinky mother-in-law......"
"Such a beautiful princess, it seems that my luck in Akihito Hironomiya is really good......"
"Princess Yunling, are you a Nine Heavens Fairy? If I can become husband and wife with you, I Lu Zixin will have no regrets in this life......"
At the moment when he saw the pure and beautiful Zhao Lingxin without powder, not only Lin Feng, Luo Fei and Zhao Gang were dazzled;
Okay, the scar forgot the pain, and Lu Zixin, who had a hint of shyness and blush on his face, were also turning their careful thoughts.
Grandma, these toads want to eat swan meat, what kind of eyes are you all looking at......
Looking around at the people present, Liu Huayun couldn't help but curse secretly.
Lin Feng and Mingren Hao Palace don't talk about those guys, except for Yinzhen who has an indifferent face, and Li Chengzan, who looks at Yin Jieshu beside him from time to time, even Luo Fei and Zhao Gang have an unconcealable admiration in their eyes.
"See long live my emperor, long live my majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the princess Chitose Chitose."
When He Yu, He Jin, and Zhao Lingxin came to sit under the umbrella of Huang Luo and looked at them, all the ministers saluted in unison.
"Zhong Aiqing, let's get even."
He Yu waved his hand, signaling that everyone did not need to be restrained.
"Today is the day when Princess Yunling chooses a colt, as my favorite Jiu'er, her lifelong happiness will be decided by herself.
Prince Yinzhen, General Aragbari, Prince Li Chengzan, Akihito Haogong, you and my five young talents in Dafeng will be tested by Yun Ling next, and the one she picks is the concubine of a country......"
The old emperor He Yu said, the little palace maid Qing'er stepped forward and said loudly under the signal of her own princess;
"Ladies and gentlemen, my princess has given you a total of three opportunities to show her talents......
The first question is a test of your experience and sincerity, which consists of two juvenile long-lived turtles and eight adult river prawns. All you have to do is to distinguish between male and female in the half-pillar of incense......
Those who choose right or not will enter the next round, and those who answer incorrectly will be eliminated directly! Those who fail to pass the three rounds are also eliminated! ”
While Qing'er was talking, there were pretty palace maids with a few copper basins coming over, and they walked close to let Liu Huayun and others look at them one by one.
"This~~~"
Looking at the copper basin, there are only four golden turtles the size of a baby's fist and turtle shell patterns, as well as the same inch-long white shrimp in another basin;
Tokugawa Ichiro and Akihito Hironomiya, as well as Lin Feng, Luo Fei, Lu Zixin, Zhao Gang and others were all a little stunned.
And General Alagbari from Mongolia glanced at the strong man beside him, and shook his head indignantly.
I thought that Princess Yunling would test martial arts such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, horseback riding and archery, etc., but it suddenly became physiological common sense, and this style of painting suddenly changed a little weird, and it was strange that they were not surprised.
The scene was quite calm, only Liu Huayun, who was in a commotion, and the little palace maid who was whispering to Li Chengzan, and Gulun Chunxi Gege, who was observing the copper basin.
"Jiu'er, is this all that stinky boy's ghost idea? How did you really let him do it? ”
The atmosphere at the scene was a little strange, looking at the ministers who were looking at each other, He Yu couldn't help but whisper to Zhao Lingxin beside him and asked.
