After Yi Xue returned to the palace, Aunt Ning first waited to change into clothes for the banquet, Sima Cheng waited beside her, and Sima Yun and Gonggong Jiang took the first step and went to the Xuanji Hall where the banquet was held to confirm the preparations for the banquet.

According to the number of ceremonies, when the palace banquet is held, the emperor will only drive there when everyone is there, so after Yi Xue changed her clothes, she was not in a hurry, so she sat with Sima Cheng in the courtyard of the East Palace for a while.

While thinking back to the previous discussion with Sima Cheng, she prepared the content of the political events about governing the country and the country, the national economy and the people's livelihood, but when she was about to leave Guozi School, she couldn't help but be touched when she saw the appearance of Guozi Xue sentient beings in their youth and old age, and even she herself wanted to relax at tonight's banquet, so Yi Xue wanted to probe Sima Cheng's tone, so she asked tentatively:

"Young Master Cheng, what do you think of today's court?"

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Yi Xue suddenly asked about the daytime, and Sima Cheng couldn't help but be alert.

"Exam questions." Yi Xue has to find a way to bring the topic to governing the country.

"Today's four questions not only involve the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, the way of governing the country, and the livelihood of the people, but also involve the richness of historical events, and also reflect the essence of the thoughts of many sages.

Sima Cheng doesn't know what Yi Xue has in mind, he is also a scholar, everything is as he said, the four questions involve Confucianism, Taoism, agriculture, law and other words, up to Shunyu, down to the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, all-inclusive, plus there are many ways to solve the problem, for students from different clans, there is no obvious favoritism.

"The three adults are very knowledgeable, and the exam questions cover all aspects of governing the country, what I ask tonight is just an axe, isn't it self-sufficient?" Xue Xue sighed softly.

A trace of worry crossed Sima Cheng's eyes, the "policy" in "policy questioning" refers to stratagem and strategy, and "policy questioning" was originally a form of asking questions in the "emperor's tone", and the courtiers answered the content of the emperor's proposal.

When Shen Xing proposed this strategy, he wanted to create an opportunity for Yi Xue to personally contact these students, talent learning is not the only condition for being reused, only people who have both talent and character are suitable to become companions in Yi Xue's camp.

And Yi Xue's statement is not unreasonable, including even after the two of them discussed, the relevant content about laws and agriculture that they were proud of happened to appear in the exam questions today.

"Your Majesty is up to any new countermeasures?" Sima Cheng felt that Yi Xue would not complain for no reason at such a time, perhaps because he had thought of something.

When Yi Xue heard Sima Cheng ask like this, she was surprised and delighted, she didn't expect Sima Cheng to actually walk into her "trap" like this, but Yi Xue naturally looked very melancholy on her face.

"In this case, I don't want to ask anything else when planning the banquet, I heard that when the literati get together, they will chant poems at the banquet, which was not the case at the lotus picking festival before...... Moreover, this poetry and poetry can also express a person's true feelings, and the composition can also reflect a person's evaluation and experience of things. ”

Yi Xue said as she stole at Sima Cheng's expression, only to see that Sima Cheng listened very seriously, but his brows were slightly frowned and his thin lips were closed.

"Ahem...... And you see which of the Xun and Zuo people in the current dynasty is not brilliant and powerful, and Lord Zuo is respected by everyone with "Three Cities Fu", I ...... It's like looking for someone like that. ”

Because Sima Cheng's face was solemn, Yi Xue couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and she didn't have much confidence in the words that followed, and when she was about to give up, Sima Cheng opened her mouth and said:

"I think Your Majesty's words are reasonable."

As soon as Sima Cheng's words fell, Yi Xue's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Sima Cheng in disbelief, Sima Cheng was a little surprised, and he continued:

"But has Your Majesty considered what poems to chant and what to do?"

Sima Cheng's question woke up Yi Xue from shock, she really didn't think about it much, she just wanted to change a topic other than "governing the country".

"If Your Majesty knew about the Lotus Picking Festival, then you should guess that because it was a banquet held for the Lotus Picking Festival, the poems and poems were closely related to the lotus flowers." Sima Cheng said.

As soon as Sima Cheng mentioned the matter of the Lotus Picking Festival, Yi Xue's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to that day, when she was still a little maid serving the nobles of Wang Sun......

Yi Xue's face suddenly turned pale, she was a woman's maid that day, and the man Tao Xi had never been to the Lotus Picking Festival at all!

Yi Xue suddenly realized that she had missed her mouth, she quickly lowered her head and was silent for a while, during which she had secretly observed Sima Cheng's face with her spare eyes, he still looked serious, his eyes sank, did he doubt himself?

Yi Xue couldn't regret it, biting her lip, and didn't know what to do.

"My subordinates heard Yun Gongzi say that generally this kind of gathering will set a theme, and most of the literati like to sing flowers and songs, and the more common ones are plums, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums, and other things, and sometimes they will be determined according to the season."

Sima Cheng was thinking about Yi Xue, but Yi Xue didn't say a word, Sima Cheng was puzzled, so he asked:

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Sima Cheng patted Yi Xue's arm.

Yi Xue was startled, and the whole person bounced up from the stone bench at once, Zhang Huang met his eyes with Sima Cheng in a panic, and Yi Xue immediately turned around.

"Your Majesty, if you are not feeling well, do you want to cancel tonight's banquet?"

Sima Cheng arched his hand, and Yi Xue just wanted to say, "No!" But suddenly I thought about it, did Sima Cheng just think I was unwell? Didn't he suspect me......

As soon as she thought of this, Yi Xue suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, she knew that the Lotus Picking Festival was not very normal, and the people in the entire Kaifeng Town knew that it was normal for the prince and grandson to recite poems on the Lotus Picking Festival.

Yi Xue clenched her fist with her right hand, nodded, reaffirmed her thoughts, and then took a deep breath, and the person quickly calmed down.

Yi Xue turned around, put her hands behind her back, put on an imperial shelf, and said:

"It's okay, as for the theme of this banquet...... " Yi Xue raised her head, only to see that the night was rising, and the afterglow of the sun had not faded, but on the other side, the full shadow of the moon was already looming, and Yi Xue seemed to remember something, and asked:

"In a few days, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"

"Three days to go, Your Majesty." Sima Cheng replied, without any emotion in his words.

About half a month ago, Gonggong Cao mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet to Yi Xue, and Yi Xue was busy preparing for the court, plus the palace finance was already a drop in the bucket, and he couldn't come up with any money, so Yi Xue ordered everything to be simple, and it was just like that to send a little silver to the people in the palace.

"Then Yongyue, the moon is everywhere, cloudy and sunny, it's not a problem."

Yi Xue smiled back, but there was a melancholy that could not be seen under the crooked smile.

Sima Cheng was stunned for a moment, leaned over and arched his hand, and said slowly:

"Good question."
