Chang'an, the palace of the princess of Taiping in Zhenguo

Looking at the still delicate face in the mirror for a long time, Princess Taiping Li Lingyue soothed the crow's feet with her fingers and smiled softly, a person in her fifties can still maintain her appearance is a proud thing no matter what.

It is said that Lishan Hot Spring has the power of staying old, and it seems that there is some truth in this, but it is a pity that today's hot spring is not too comfortable to be disturbed by the people sent by the Ministry of Rites.

In the past few years, it is always difficult for Princess Taiping to have a quiet life in the days before the scientific examination, which is also no way, the number of places admitted to the scientific examination every year is so one or twenty, but there are as many as two or three thousand people who want these places, and it is really a hard work to choose, and the talent, family background, and background are all necessary to take into account, and this is it, I am afraid that there will be any changes before the examination, and once there is a change, it means that the work that has been done in front of it has to be reorganized. It was not easy to determine that person before, and many of them had even made a wish, and at this time, if you take someone out at this juncture, you may end up offending not only one person, but even a family, which is really unwilling to do it for Princess Taiping, who is trying her best to win people's hearts at this time.

The more you are afraid of something, the more you come, this is what the waiter of the Ministry of Rites sent someone to do this, seeing that the scientific expedition is about to start, the proposed quota has to be changed.

Everything is just because the people who greet the waiter of the Ministry of Rites are too big, and Queen Wei, who has not asked about the scientific examination for the past two years, suddenly opened her mouth to ask for a place in the Jinshi department, which makes the waiter of the Ministry of Rites refuse?

As a relative, the Wei clan can be an official by virtue of Enmeng, and there is no need to take the Jinshi exam at all, so who has such a big face to invite the queen to be a lobbyist for him?

After the palace people who were waiting for her to comb her hair, Princess Taiping took a look at it with satisfaction, and then picked up the big red greeting card of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites that had been placed on the dresser for a long time.

"Shannan Dongdao Township Gongsheng Tang Cheng", Princess Taiping was stunned when she saw this name, "It turned out to be him?" ”。

Princess Taiping was stunned. The palace man who was inserting the golden step hairpin for her deflected his hand hard, and the tip of the hairpin poked at Li Lingyue's face, and in an instant, a small drop of blood came out from the pink skin.

Jinbu shook the hairpin and made a crisp sound when it landed. The people in the palace were still unconscious, and they looked at the drop of blood on the princess's face with their hands blankly and were stupid.

It's different from the people of the underground palace. Because of the pain, Princess Taiping frowned violently, and her expression suddenly changed when she saw the blood beads on her face. Grab the dresser and rub the brocade on the ground to remove the blood beads. After carefully looking in Jiang Xin's mirror, he couldn't see the slightest trace of the ground wound on his face, and then he exhaled with relief.

"Princess forgiveness". At this time, the people of the palace finally woke up. He knelt down suddenly, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Nian is on the slave and maid who have served the land with all their heart in the past few years." Please spare the slaves and maids of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Someone". With Princess Taiping's faint command. In the outer room of the makeup room, several palace people walked in.

"There are some mistakes that cannot be made." After kowtowing to the ground like pounding garlic, the people of the Qin Palace said a word. Princess Taiping waved her hand: "Drag it down." Eighty rods. Tell the second butler. In the past few years, the people of the Qin Palace have been working hard. After his death, the family pension can be doubled. Other than that. Arrange for her younger brother to have a number of local offices in the village outside the city to support her parents. Go ahead! ”。

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, ...... gracious". The whole body was paralyzed like mud, and the people of Qin Palace were half-dragged and half-helped out before they finished speaking.

He looked carefully in the mirror in front of him again. After making sure that there is no trace on the face. Princess Taiping picked up the post of the Ministry of Rites again.

A moment later. She reached out and took the red rope that was attached to the dresser, and it wasn't long before a little servant walked in softly.

"The big butler is in the house?" Seeing that the little maid nodded, Princess Taiping continued: "Please come here."

After a while, the slightly blessed butler arrived.

"A few days ago, I asked you to probe Tang Cheng's details, but there is a result?" As she spoke, Princess Taiping handed over the post.

"Tang Cheng?" , The chief butler thought for a while before remembering such a person, "I got the princess's orders that day, and I will explain it, and it should be rewarded for such a long time", after speaking, the chief butler called in a palace maid from outside and whispered a few words.

After the palace maid left, the chief butler opened the post and frowned and said, "Lu Jili is too irresponsible, when did this kind of post come again?" ”。

"It's not that he doesn't take responsibility, it's that he can't afford it at all", he chose a golden step hairpin carved from ice flower hibiscus jade from the makeup box, Princess Taiping said softly while wearing the hairpin: "This Tang Cheng was personally ordered by my sister-in-law who is bent on emulating the queen mother."

"Empress Wei asked Tang Cheng for a quota?" It wasn't until Princess Taiping personally nodded and brought up the golden step to shake the hairpin, and the big butler was sure that he had heard it correctly, but the more he did, the more surprised he became, "With his position, how can he be on the line with Empress Wei, let alone ......."

"I asked the little guy sent by Lu Jili to send the worship post, the root of this matter is on Wei Bo", looking at herself in the mirror, Princess Taiping smiled slightly, "Look at these things that Yazhengyuan and Tang Cheng did after entering the Yulin Army, the eight-character test language that Princess Ben gave him that day underestimated him, maybe Li Sanlang was laughing at me."

At this moment, the palace man who had just gone out came back with a thin album, and Princess Taiping took the album and looked down carefully.

The more Princess Taiping looked at the look on her face, the more solemn she was, there was surprise and more appreciation in this solemnity, she was originally just a rough look at the back, and she looked up from time to time in the process of looking at something, and after thinking about it, she would smile.

"In recent years, this is the most eye-catching time for this princess, this Tang Cheng is actually a talented person", Princess Taiping closed the album and laughed self-deprecatingly: "How can Li Sanlang He De find such talents."

"What do you mean, princess?" , The chief butler pondered Princess Taiping's thoughts and said: "Recently, Li Sanlang has made extremely fast progress in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, and he is really powerful to Tang Chengliang, or...... Can you let Tang Cheng's identity out to Webster? At this point, the chief butler clicked on the prayer post in his hand, "In this way, even the troubles in front of him have been over."

Hearing this, Princess Taiping thought quietly for a while and shook her head with a smile. "Li Sanlang is a concubine, and he is the third in line among his brothers, he is just fighting a prince by the king of the county so hard now, what else can he think? Now that he is willing to work hard, he saves the tail of this princess's hand. Speaking of which, Tang Cheng is also doing things for me, and let him do it with peace of mind."

"Whether to give or not to give the quota for the scientific examination, how can Lu Jili reply?"

What not to give? Giving it will not make Lu Jili too embarrassed. can also make my sister-in-law, or even Li Saburo, satisfied, how can I not do something that kills three birds with one stone? Princess Taiping stretched out her hand to take the post, picked up the thrush pen on the dresser and wrote a few words on it.

"Remember. After this big event, you go to see Tang Cheng in person. It seems that these people have a bit of a talent to stay under Li Sanlang, and it is better to recruit them."

Tang Cheng took advantage of Wei Bozhi's smugness that day and asked him to ask him to enter the Shike quota, although Wei Bo hesitated for a moment and then agreed. But Tang Cheng was still apprehensive in his heart, after all, for himself. Everything you do in front of you doesn't matter as much as this one. The outcome of this matter is not only related to the purpose of his coming to Chang'an, but also related to his long-established ideals.

If you get a middle sergeant. There are three months of honorary family leave after the official selection of officials, and there are three months of buffer. The matter of Chang'an should be over, and the time will come. He can quickly leave Chang'an and take his family to practice the ideal of one county and one state on his own land.

Coming to Chang'an to go around such a big circle, isn't this for the land!

With his current status, he really can't go to Princess Taiping's mansion, and after Zhang Liang sent a message to Li Longji, Tang Cheng was anxious and looked forward to the arrival of the final news. After 1,300 years, he once again experienced the mood after the college entrance examination in later generations.

Finally, three days later, he got the long-awaited news from Wei Bo's mouth with a smile on his face.

After the final decision, Tang Cheng's heart fell to the ground with a big stone, and his heart suddenly emptied, and then a strong excitement surged into his heart, what made him excited was not the name of the wild goose pagoda propagated by the scholars, the apricot forest banquet and the cross-horse parade street, but the dawn of the ideal was finally truly revealed and began to bloom the first bud.

"It's not a few days before the scientific examination, you don't have to be too diligent in the army these days, and you can make up for your schoolwork", looking at Tang Cheng with a surprised face, Wei Bo walked down with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "After you have the title of the gold list, I will take you to the Wang Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, I heard that the Ministry of Industry has long been interested in you, and General Ben can't let them rob you."

"Thank you, General", Tang Cheng looked at the weight and appreciation that naturally flowed from Wei Bo's eyes, and for the first time felt that he was a little afraid to look at him.

After handing over the matter of supervising military discipline to Gong Cao to join the army Tian Shuanghu, Tang Cheng hardly went to the Yulin Army for more than ten days, and Wei Bo deliberately did not look for him again.

During this time, Tang Cheng seemed to have returned to the days in the study of Jinzhou, and after getting up every day, he was accompanied by books, and the four books and five classics needed to be carefully passed once or twice again, so as not to get stuck in the first Kemo Sutra, in addition to this, he also put more of his mind on reciting poetry silently, after all, Jinshike was informed by this.

In a few days, Tang Cheng searched exhaustively, turned out all the poems that could be remembered in his mind and carefully classified them, and then used these names as a blueprint, combined with the poetry and ordinary knowledge he had learned since the time travel, and analyzed them to be perfect.

The morning star has not set, and the jade rabbit has not yet risen, so he worked hard until the eve of the scientific expedition, and Tang Cheng wanted to vomit when he looked at the stack of silent poems when he picked it up again.

After gritting his teeth and reading it carefully, he took the copper basin that had been prepared next to him and burned the stack of poems one by one in the basin.

That night, Tang Cheng, who rested early, had a hard time falling asleep, and he didn't fall asleep until the second watch, and after sleeping for a while, he walked into the examination room of the Ministry of Rites with a nervous mood.
