Chapter 556: A Civilian
In the Fangfei season, on both sides of the road, green willows and weeping poplars, peaches and apricots compete for beauty, green grass is like grass, and the weather is new.
A tall man in a black shirt who was nearly middle-aged was speeding along the road sandwiched between the scent of green trees and flowers.
This man has sword eyebrows, a towering nose, and a square face, which looks very righteous and awe-inspiring. He was in Fangchun, looking ahead, striding forward, looking anxious. Beads of sweat on his forehead.
On his feet were a pair of black boots, but at this time, half of the black boots were covered in dust and sand, and the edges were torn in many places, and it was obvious that he had traveled a long way.
Half an hour later.
The man finally came to the end of the road and came to the gate of a city.
He looked up and saw that the city was called "Caiyun City", smiled, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's here, it's here." He raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead and cheeks, walked forward two steps, accepted the inspection of the officers and soldiers defending the city, and then happily entered the city.
He still didn't seem to see the prosperous scene in the city, the beautiful pedestrians, walked through half of the long street, looked left and right, turned around and walked into an inn, threw a few taels of silver, asked for a room, good wine, good food and hot water, and then went out with Xiao Er upstairs and entered the house.
After the man took a comfortable bath, he took out his new clothes from his baggage and changed into them, and sat down at the table to eat and drink, his eyes were unexpectedly gentle, as if his sweetheart sat opposite his void, full of love and pity.
The man's mind was obviously not eating and drinking, and it was a bit weird.
Halfway through the food and drink, the man suddenly whimpered: "What, there is still an exam?" Spare me. Boss, in order to rush over to see you, I almost broke both legs. The tone was long, obviously deliberately pretending, pretending to beg, and there was some coquettish taste, which was really showing off his hard work.
Who is this man? And with whom do you speak?
The answer is obvious.
This man is Gu Qianshan. And the person who can make him willing, happy, and drunk and shout "boss" is naturally Wu Yunzhao.
Since Wu Yunzhao was not here, Gu Qianshan was communicating with Wu Yunzhao in the distance through the system at this time, in his mind, with his mind.
The two of them came to a new mission world, but unfortunately, they didn't fall together.
Wu Yunzhao's status this time is noble, she is a princess of a country, and she can't leave the palace casually.
Therefore, Gu Qianshan had no choice but to hurry up and come to the national capital "Caiyun City" to look for an opportunity to join Wu Yunzhao.
I only heard Gu Qianshan ask: "Boss, what are you taking the test?" To mark the key points, I prepare, prepare. ”
At the other end, Wu Yunzhao said: "First martial arts test, then literary test." The exams are all the children of generals, their abilities are limited, not to mention their internal strength, your fists and feet in your previous life are enough to cope with the martial arts exam, as for the literary exam, when the time comes, you tell me the question, I will answer it secretly, you can just write it, you don't need to use your brain. ”
Gu Qianshan smiled: "This is the best." Hey, I hate exams the most. As soon as it is played, it is abnormal. He drank a glass of wine, smiled, and asked, "Boss, as a commoner, how can I enter the palace to compete with the children of high-ranking officials?" ”
Wu Yunzhao said: "Don't worry about this, I'll arrange it for you." My current uncle is the crown prince, Shangguan Shaokang, you can dress up, be neat, and go to him cleanly. ”
Gu Qianshan said: "Well, okay, I know, I will go as soon as possible." ”
Wu Yunzhao said again: "If he asks you, how did you and I meet, you will say that there were several encounters at the Lantern Festival two months ago. If he asks you, you will have a token. Show him the handkerchief I once gave you with a cold sword and red plum. He is an elder and will not ask juniors for details. If someone really talks a lot, you and I are improvised, and there is not much trouble. ”
Gu Qianshan said: "Okay, it's all clear." Don't worry, boss. ”
Wu Yunzhao said: "Listen to what you said just now, you just arrived." Hurry up and rest, recuperate, and go to see my uncle with all your heart, so that he will have a good impression of you, and he will help you secretly. My father summoned me to meet, and there are a bunch of sluts to deal with, so I can't be distracted, so I won't tell you yet. ”
Gu Qianshan said: "It's only been a few days, and I recognized a bunch of sluts, tsk, tsk, sure enough, life in the palace is not easy." ”
In the palace, Yunzhao Palace.
Wu Yunzhao was served by a group of maids, painted makeup, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and after being ready, he went to the imperial garden surrounded by everyone to meet the current saint, and now Wu Yunzhao's father, the emperor of the Haotian Kingdom, Wu Tianxiang.
When he walked to the gate of the Imperial Garden, he was greeted by a man dressed in bright yellow brocade.
This man was about the age of his early twenties, with a good face and a tall body, and he watched Wu Yunzhao coming, waiting with a smile.
Wu Yunzhao stepped forward and saluted: "Yunzhao greets the prince's brother." The servants and maidservants behind her also paid homage to her.
This man is the crown prince of the dynasty, Wu Tianxiang's sister-in-law, Wu Yunzhao's brother-in-law, Wu Yunfei.
Here, his brother and sister are both born to the queen and are blood relatives. Their mother, the first queen Shangguan Mingyue, died prematurely due to illness. Since then, although they have been blessed by their father, in this Nuo Palace, in the lurking crisis, the brother and sister can be regarded as dependent on each other. They have a very good relationship and love each other.
Wu Yunzhao asked, "Brother Prince, has my father also summoned you?" "Concern in the language.
The implication of her words was that if she hadn't been summoned by her father, she would have left quickly, and wouldn't go in and ask for trouble.
Wu Yunfei said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are the father and emperor, but the pearl of the entire Haotian Kingdom, when you choose a horse, no one dares to make trouble casually." Speaking of which, brother, I have also touched your light, and I can live a comfortable and down-to-earth life for a few days. ”
Wu Yunzhao said: "Brother Prince will tell jokes. ”
Wu Yunzhao and Wu Yunfei glanced at each other, their eyes met, they smiled at each other, they each understood, they didn't say more, and walked into the imperial garden together. They all know that the jokes they tell are not jokes.
In the pavilion, Emperor Wu Tianxiang sat in the center.
On his left-hand side are the noble concubine Wenya and the concubine Bai Sulan; On his right-hand side are Concubine De Mu Qiushui and Concubine Xian Su Ying.
These five people are the most honorable people in the palace. They got together at this time, which shows the importance they attach to Wu Yunzhao.
Wu Yunzhao and Wu Yunfei, brother and sister, saluted their father and the fourth concubine, and sat down at the bottom.
Wu Tianxiang smiled and said: "Good girl, after half a month, the horse is selected, and you have to marry a wife, and you can't pester the prince's brother every day in the future." Otherwise, the colt will have to eat it. ”
Wu Yunzhao smiled and said: "Father, then I will pester my father in the future, do I dare to eat it when I see the horse?" ”
When Wu Tianxiang heard her say this, he was happy in his heart and said with a smile: "Father is not a person who is an eyesore. The father is waiting for the good girl to give birth to a good grandson and a good granddaughter to the father. ”
Wu Yunzhao bowed his head, as if he was shy.
Wu Yunfei said at this time: "Father, Yun Zhao is thin-skinned, you can tell her in private." She likes her father the most, and she is willing to agree to anything. The four ladies looked at it, and Yun Zhao didn't dare to open his mouth to agree. ”
Wu Tianxiang smiled and said: "Okay, good, good, it's still my brother who understands my sister, I won't say it at this time." He took the tea handed by the concubine and drank it in one sip and one sip.
The emperor didn't say anything, and the four imperial concubines could speak.
There is no queen in the palace, and the concubine is the first to speak.
I only heard Concubine Wen say: "The princess wants a concubine who is both civil and military, and His Majesty will arrange martial arts and literary examinations, and she is still the daughter that the father and emperor care about the most." ”
The other three concubines smiled and nodded, feeling that their elegant words were reasonable.
I heard Concubine Wen continue: "There are many talents involved in the battle for horses, can the princess have a favorite person?" Your Majesty is aware of everything, so that Your Majesty can help with the selection, so as not to give birth to branches and choose the one that is not satisfactory. A woman can't pick the wrong husband. ”
Wu Yunzhao said: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. However, my father had already decreed that the horses would be selected through the martial arts test and the literary test, and the result would be whatever it was. Appearance, family background, these talents can't be selected by themselves, and sons, who choose husbands, naturally don't value it. The results of the competition can naturally distinguish the dregs of pearls and jades. The marriage of the sons represents the face of the royal family, and if they marry poorly, they lose the face of their father. As long as the sons are the first in civil and military affairs, but if they are a little worse, the sons would rather not marry than condescend to the nobles. ”
Wen Ya couldn't listen to it, it was boring, and he smiled slightly: "The princess is assertive and has the demeanor of His Majesty." ”
Wu Yunzhao said that the selection of the concubine was based on the instructions of the holy decree and the results of the literary and martial examinations, which actually meant that the concubine was chosen by her father, and she did not have any opinions herself. It's still up to my father to have the final say.
