Chapter 969: Banquet Experience
After Li Xiuwen and the others returned to Fuyuan Qianzhuang, several people had a few drinks together. Li Xiuwen speculated that Fu Wenjing's due date was approaching, so he wanted Ling Yanbing and Xue Junyi to stay in the capital for a few more days, in case of an unknown accident!
Xue Junyi and Ling Yanbing were already guilty of Fu Wenjing, so they also agreed......
After the palace examination, a ceremony will be held for the emperor to announce the ranking of the Dengke Jinshi. In order to show dignity, Long Xingche will give a banquet to all the jinshi in the palace in the sea viewing hall, similar to the ancient "Qionglin banquet". On the day of the palace banquet, there will also be many "aristocratic ladies", taking advantage of the opportunity of the banquet to feast their eyes and choose their own wishful husband.
Jingxuan Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chenguo
Long Xingche looked at Fu Wenjing's belly that was about to give birth, and when she was dressed up to participate in this palace banquet with the help of the palace maid and eunuch, her face was full of worry: "Your delivery date is just these two days, don't go, right?" ”
Fu Wenjing walked over with Yuehe's support, and then said stubbornly: "I'm going!" The next time I wait for you to give you a banquet for the world's jinshi, I will have to wait for another three years, and I will be twenty-one years old at that time! ”
Long Xingche rarely saw Fu Wenjing so stubborn and a little unreasonable, and shook his head funny. Then he thought about it, and pretended to be serious and said: "I gave the banquet to a group of jinshi, but you just mentioned the issue of age, isn't it your ......"
Fu Wenjing thought that the cautious Long Xingche was going to be jealous again: "I already have such a perfect husband as the emperor, how can it be?" ”
"It's good to understand, I can promise you, but if you're not feeling well, you must tell me the truth!" After Long Xingche finished speaking, he stroked Fu Wenjing's bulging abdomen lovingly with his index finger!
"Good!" Fu Wenjing nodded seriously!
Sea View Hall
"Knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"All the ministers are flat!"
"Emperor Xie!"
Fu Wenjing's identity as a concubine also came to the Sea View Hall before Long Xingche. Although she was still pregnant, she also had to kneel down and salute when the whole country and other concubines were saluting Long Xingche.
Originally, when Long Xingche gave the banquet to the palace, the concubines in the palace rarely participated, but in order to find a few "accompaniments" for Fu Wenjing, Long Xingche still called Yu Dandan and several other concubines.
Fu Wenjing also took this opportunity and was fortunate to witness the demeanor of the ancient literati, all of them all looked outstanding, and even a few of them were bold, and they also discussed poetry with Long Xingche.
For these Jinshi who came to participate in the palace banquet, the bitter stage of life has passed, and they are about to usher in a good career. Then show your ambitions in your respective positions, and your life will enter a new milestone!
Of course, the thoughts of the daughters of those high-ranking officials who came to participate in this palace banquet were not at all on the banquet. They all quietly looked left and right on the level of compliance with the rules of etiquette, and looked for their own wishful husband from among the jinshi in this examination!
However, they picked and chose and found that this year's Jinshi were basically middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, including this year's Bangyan and Tanhua!
In ancient times, men generally got married very early, and when they were thirty or forty years old, not only had they already married and married, but their children were already very old!
And those who can come to the palace to participate in the palace banquet in the Guanhai Hall are basically the daughters of high-ranking officials, and if they marry to be concubines, they will definitely be unwilling. But if you let the family divorce their wives and marry another, it will be a little unpleasant.
In the end, the eyes of those who wanted to choose Ruyi Langjun in this palace banquet basically fell on Yu Zhaoxian, who was handsome and handsome, and as the champion, he was only eighteen years old!
Fu Wenjing didn't eat a few bites of food, and her eyes kept looking at the words and deeds of the people at the banquet.
Long Xingche saw that Fu Wenjing's mouth was not moving, only his eyes were moving, so he quietly knocked on Fu Wenjing's banquet table with his fingers: "Don't keep looking, you should eat something!" ”
After Fu Wenjing was reminded by Long Xingche, she smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "But watching people is much more interesting than eating!" ”
Long Xingche saw Fu Wenjing's interested look, and asked curiously: "Tell me, what's interesting?" I'll take a look at it too! ”
Fu Wenjing used her chin to nun Yu Zhaoxian, who was sitting in front of her: "No! What the concubine thinks is interesting is this year's new champion! His whole person was about to be seen through by the daughters of those ministers! ”
Long Xingche also looked over: "He's a rare young talent, but I don't know if Xu kissed?" ”
Fu Wenjing shook her head resolutely: "No! I've already asked my sister! Your Majesty, you have to call the shots, give him a good marriage! ”
Long Xing said clearly: "Is this the main reason why you came with me?" Afraid that I have wronged your sister's champion brother? ”
Fu Wenjing said frankly: "In addition to taking a look at the literati style of the Jinshi in this examination here, there is such a small part of the reason! ”
Long Xingche glanced at the "aristocratic ladies" who were dressed up in fancy clothes: "So, do you have a woman you like, do you think you can marry him?" ”
Fu Wenjing approached Long Xingche and quietly pointed at a woman in the Guanhai Hall closest to the door: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the woman in pale yellow clothes in the corner?" I think she is dressed most plainly, and she looks very calm. It's not like those dressed up swaggeringly, who have been staring at Yu Zhaoxian blatantly! ”
"How could she come?" Long Xingche frowned in confusion after seeing the woman that Fu Wenjing was pointing at!
"Why can't she come? Who is she and how can the emperor know her? Fu Wenjing looked at the woman in pale yellow clothes, who was only about sixteen or seventeen years old. It stands to reason that the woman in the boudoir and Long Xingche are completely different people from different fields, and they should not know each other.
Long Xingche looked at Fu Wenjing's puzzled eyes and explained: "Don't think nonsense, she is the only daughter of Lu Wensheng, the general of Wupin Dingyuan, Lu Hailan!" ”
Fu Wenjing looked at Lu Hailan fixedly: "It turns out that he is the general's daughter!" No wonder there is a heroic temperament on his body! Ay? If she and Yu Zhaoxian make a pair, wouldn't one article and one martial arts complement each other? ”
Long Xingche didn't quite agree with Fu Wenjing's idea: "But, don't you think it's a bit aggrieved to use the daughter of a fifth-grade official to match the champion?" ”
Fu Wenjing looked at Lu Hailan, and then at Yu Zhaoxian, how to see how to match! She heard Long Xingche's tone and didn't agree with this marriage. deliberately said: "Then you, as the emperor, asked me for the daughter of a hereditary prince, do you feel wronged?" ”
Long Xingche shook his head decisively: "I have never felt wronged, I just think that you are the most suitable person for me!" ”
Fu Wenjing pulled Long Xingche's hand and clenched it: "So, status and identity are not important, the most important thing is whether this person is suitable for you?" Is that right? ”
When Long Xingche heard this, he also understood: "Do you really want me to marry them?" ”
