Chapter 14 The Imperial Palace
The rules in the palace are strict, and if you are not summoned, you are not allowed to enter the palace, because although Su Wan and others are all noble, they still can't accompany Xie Yaoguang into the palace at will. Su Yu was afraid that Su Wan would worry about preparing everything properly, and relieved Su Wan that she didn't have to worry, and that everything in the palace would be taken care of by herself. will not let Xie Yaoguang slip up.
Xie Yaoguang got into the carriage. Looking around at the white fox fur in the carriage and the fragrant tea, pastries, fruits, and the elegant aroma on the table, he hooked his lips. King Shou has made up his mind to make people think that he has voted for him? Such a painstaking display of his thirst for talent. First, he cut the mussels and asked for pearls, and then arranged such a comfortable carriage...... Looking at it, it seems that there are some things that need to be stepped up.
The carriage stopped outside the Suzaku Gate, and it was determined that Xie Yaoguang had not carried a sharp blade and changed into a soft sedan chair, so he walked along Chengtianmen Avenue through the Taiji Gate and walked off the sedan chair, and saw that the Taiji Hall stood on the majestic stone steps not far away. For a while, the mood was ups and downs, and the eyes were condensed and calmed, erasing distracting thoughts and restoring the clarity of the spiritual platform.
"Miss Xie came early"
When he was stunned, he heard the voice of the county lord of Jingning in his ears and bowed and saluted: "County lord"
"Miss Xie is polite" The county lord of Jingning glanced at Xie Yaoguang and smiled: "Are you entering the palace by order?" ”
With a deep smile, Xie Yaoguang said slowly: "Thanks to the blessing of the county lord, Yaoguang can see the face of heaven."
The county lord of Jingning knew that she meant something, and when he turned his head to look elsewhere, he caught a glimpse of Ye Linchen coming slowly, raised his lips and smiled: "His Royal Highness King Ding is also here."
Xie Yaoguang narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned around and looked at Ye Linchen who was striding over, respectfully blessing his body. Ye Linchen didn't know that Xie Yaoguang would appear here, he glanced at Xie Yaoguang, who had a cold look, and raised his hand to signal her to get up, and the moment he got up, the two of them made slight contact and staggered away from each other. Just when he wanted to retreat behind the county lord of Jingning, he was unexpectedly grabbed by the county lord of Jingning and pushed in front of him.
"His Royal Highness King Ding, this is Xie Yaoguang, Miss Xie" The Jingning County Lord glanced at Xie Yaoguang, who looked at him with a calm look, and chuckled: "You haven't seen it yet, have you?"
"I've heard the name," Ye Linchen's words were concise and clear, as if he didn't want to have too much contact with Xie Yaoguang.
The lord of Jingning County saw that one of the two of them looked calm and the other was implied with disgust, and somehow he had the idea that these two people were extremely compatible. Just as she was about to speak, Yanran smiled and blurted out another sentence: "The two of them are on the same page, Miss Xie."
Xie Yaoguang obviously also saw who was coming, and pursed his lips and smiled helplessly. Ye Linchen turned his head and saw that the crown prince and King Shou were coming side by side, and a trace of disgust flashed on Junlang's face. The two of them talked and laughed all the way, and a group of brothers, friends, and brothers, Gong Zhijing, saw Xie Yaoguang standing beside the county lord of Jingning.
King Shou was awarded by Emperor Li because of his clever plan from Xie Yaoguang a few days ago, and when he saw Xie Yaoguang at this moment, he smiled and praised Xie Yaoguang endlessly. I'm afraid that the prince won't know that Xie Yaoguang gave him a brilliant idea. Although the prince was annoyed that he was one step behind and was robbed of the opportunity by King Shou, but on weekdays, the two of them were-for-tat, and now they called King Shou to praise Xie Yaoguang, naturally not to be outdone, and the two brothers sang and praised Xie Yaoguang to the core. But the person who was praised just kept a smile on his face, and responded from time to time without saying much. In Ye Linchen's eyes, it is indeed full of scheming and disgusting.
Several people will gather and enter the temple at the same time. The banquet has already been prepared in the hall, but because it has not yet arrived, it does not dare to cross the distance. The three and two got together to discuss the government
Or discuss the rhetoric and articles, and see a few nobles entering the palace and hurriedly come up to salute. King Shou and the crown prince didn't mean to be here today, they were too lazy to talk to the ministers, so they waived the courtesy.
In the hall, Xie Yaoguang was surrounded by the crown prince Shouwang on the left and on the right, and the county lord of Jingning stood aside and looked at Xie Yaoguang who was surrounded with a smile and a smile in his eyes. When she arrived in the hall, she looked at her more and more, and looked around through the gap between her words, Ye Linchen was talking happily with the military generals of the court, and when she looked elsewhere, she smiled at Gu Qingzhi's gentle gaze and responded to the other party.
With the golden chime ringing three times. The celebrant sang a sentence: "The emperor has arrived"
Everyone in the hall knelt down and bowed to the king, and when the dark figure sat down, everyone shouted in unison. Xie Yaoguang's figure was particularly conspicuous among the courtiers, and Emperor Li's gaze crossed everyone and fell on Xie Yaoguang for a long time before signaling everyone to get up.
Although Emperor Li is close to the age of six, his temples are white, his eyes are still sharp, and he has no sense of aging in his actions. At this moment, he was still looking at Xie Yaoguang. For an emperor who works hard, he never believes in the absurd and strange talk of numerology, qi numbers, and as for Emperor Yanyi, he thinks it is a trick. Relying on the Hanshan Temple alone, it wants to seize the country, so that all the people in the world may seek to seize the country. It's just ridiculous. The reason why he recruited Xie Yaoguang into the palace was to see what kind of person this Emperor Yan was, and secondly, since he could be recommended by the county lord of Jingning, maybe he was really a talent, and third, to test whether this person really had real talent and learning.
Looking at Xie Yaoguang from afar, she is just an ordinary woman, her appearance is beautiful and refined, and she is not afraid to panic in the face of her own scrutiny, but it is a pity that she is a person who is pale and sick and does not want to live a long life. However, those phoenix eyes were full of aura, adding brilliance to this face.
"Xie Yaoguang" looked at Emperor Li, stroked his beard and smiled.
"The Folk Girl Is There"
Obviously, he was very satisfied with Xie Yaoguang, and Emperor Li said in a relaxed tone: "The county lord has always praised you and praised your talent. I want to test you today. I have a word to weigh here, so you can write a strategy on it."
"Obey"
The waiter took the table and put the pen and ink in front of Xie Yaoguang, Xie Yaoguang knelt on his knees, twisted his eyebrows, pondered for a while, picked up the pen neatly, and worked hard to write on the water-patterned paper, but in a moment, Shucheng took the pen and handed the written things to the waiter, and then the waiter presented it to Emperor Li. Emperor Li glanced at what Xie Yaoguang had done, and hooked his lips slightly.
"Miss Xie's resignation is really good, and even I am ashamed of myself, I don't know where the teacher is"
"How can Your Majesty's article praising the people's daughter be compared with the emperor's article. As for the teacher and the people's daughter, she studied under the name of Mr. Qin Yan of Jixia Academy."
After hearing Qin Yan's name, Emperor Li raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It was originally Mr. Qin Yan's apprentice, Qin Yan's talent is the best in the world, no wonder there is an apprentice like you." That is to say, I can rest assured that I will appoint the examiner of the literary examination to you, the county lord has made meritorious contributions to my calendar, and you have to worry more about the literary examination."
King Shou looked at Xie Yaoguang in astonishment, it turned out that she was Qin Yan's disciple. This Qin Yan's literary style is outstanding, and he is quite famous among the people in the world, and he is actually the first in the world. However, it is a pity that Qin Yan himself has no intention of pursuing a career and only wants to be a teacher in Jixia Academy, and does not want to enter the office. Therefore, many families are proud to be Qin Yan's disciples, but very few of them can pass the examination of Jixia Academy. In this way, Xie Yaoguang is really a rare talent.
"Weichen Command" Xie Yaoguang's voice was still flat, and he seemed to have guessed Emperor Li's decision a long time ago, and there were not too many surprises.
Emperor Li instructed the chamberlain to add another table next to the county lord of Jingning, and Xie Yaoguang walked to the side of the county lord of Jingning and sat down and looked at the county lord of Jingning slightly. Who would have thought that the intentional recommendation of the county lord of Jingning coincided with Xie Yaoguang's idea, and what Xie Yaoguang wanted was to borrow the hand of Emperor Li to enter the court.
"The Xuanbei Yan Xidi delegation and the five winners of the martial arts test entered the hall to see the driver"
Xie Yaoguang looked at the group of people who walked into the hall step by step with a little surprise, thinking that the envoys of the two countries would enter the palace a later day, but he didn't expect it to be the same day as her, but it didn't matter, it was nothing more than to advance the plan. Closing his gaze to the corner of the main hall and nodding slightly, the maid hiding in the dark disappeared into the hall.
The envoys of the two countries paid tribute to the king of the kingdom and bowed to him. Emperor Li received the courtesy, showing the magnanimity of a great country, and signaled the crowd to sit down. In the Northern Yan Mission, Xie Yaoguang noticed a gaze with hidden anger, and as his gaze searched, he saw Situ Moxuan staring at him with an angry face, holding his lips and sneering, and looked away indifferently.
"The two envoys came from afar, and they worked hard all the way" Emperor Li glanced at the Xidi delegation and smiled: "I heard that there is a young talent in your mission who won the first place in the martial arts test, I don't know which talent it is"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in green clothes stood up in the Xidi delegation and saluted Emperor Li respectfully and smiled: "Xidi Wenwu champion Fang Yuxuan greets His Majesty Dali, Your Majesty Sheng'an."
"Well, it's a good one. Your father has any position in Sidi."
"Back to Your Majesty's words, my father is in Sidi as the prime minister. Wechen is forty-four in his twenties this year, and he has not married yet."
Beiyan's side laughed after hearing Fang Yuxuan's words. Because of Zhuo Jing's appearance and misfortune, Situ Moxuan was defeated and missed the literary test, and the Beiyan delegation and his party had already held back a cloud of anger in their hearts. Now I heard Sidi speak, and couldn't help but open his mouth to strike.
"Your Majesty just asked your father if he had any position and asked if you had married a wife, and answered in such detail what you did."
"Tsk, the warriors of your country are unfortunately defeated, and we are also very sorry, but it is just a shame to make a noise in front of His Majesty in the Great Calendar."
"If we lose, our skills are not as good as others, but what is it for you Xidi to fool His Majesty with a lowly background" A Zhuyi envoy in the Beiyan mission reprimanded: "I heard that you Fang Zhuangyuan is from a lowly background, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed when you come out with such a person."
The play is interesting to watch. Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but smile on his face, and watched with interest as the envoys of the two countries arguing in the main hall. Sensing that there were still people on Beiyan's side looking at him, he couldn't help frowning to find that suspicious sight. At first glance, Yeluqi was like a beast of prey, staring at him, suppressing his unhappiness, and provoking him, and he smiled provocatively. When Yeluqi saw Xie Yaoguang's appearance, he compared a knife with one hand, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Let's see who's the prey. On her chessboard, there is no room for anyone who stands in the way of her actions.
It sounds interesting, but under the demeanor of a great country, Emperor Li will not allow Beiyan and Xidi to continue to quarrel, so he immediately spoke out to stop it. Emperor Li's intervention had to make the two parties listen to the dispute, praise Fang Yuxuan, and comfort the Northern Yan mission. Fang Cai signaled the waiter to let the dancing girl start to play and dance, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious in the music and dance.
Xie Yaoguang held the fruit wine and sipped lightly, chatting with the county lord of Jingning from time to time.
