Chunzhi immediately perked up, and she quickly sat down with her head held high.
Although Princess Liang said that she was not in a hurry, once she really encountered this incident, her face still involuntarily revealed a little nervousness.
"How? Say it quickly! "Look, before Harune could speak, she was already anxiously urging.
The little maid hurriedly repeated the words he heard from the palace gate.
After Haruka heard this, she quickly patted her chest.
The emperor asked Chai Dong about the first chapter of Mencius. Although she hadn't read much of the book "Mencius", she knew that Chai Dong had taught "Mencius" to students when she was teaching at Bailu Academy before! He was all too familiar with the contents of that book.
Therefore, even if he played it right in the hall, he also answered it fluently, and his writing was flying, and his posture was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was even praised by the emperor himself.
However, for the top three people, the emperor must have asked more carefully than the people on the second and third lists behind, so the emperor asked him some more questions, and Chai Dong also reacted quickly and answered.
When Princess Liang heard this, she couldn't help but clapp: "Uncle Xiao answered well!" At this time, there are only a few people who can react so quickly and answer without leaking! No wonder he was able to win the Xie Yuan, and he could take the second place in the exam this time! It can be seen that he is not only good at learning, but also courageous. Such a person is really born to be mixed in officialdom! ”
Hearing her say this, Haruka also breathed a sigh of relief.
From the mouth of the messenger, I knew that the emperor asked Chai Dong three questions in a row, and Chai Dong answered well. After asking him, the emperor focused his attention on Ma Jun, who was the first in Jinke.
They also listened to Ma Gongzi's performance by the way, this person is the son of a famous family in the capital, and his sister is the current crown princess, and she has been in and out of the palace since she was a child, and she has already met the emperor several times. Therefore, the current palace test is like a common thing for him, and he answers very freely, and it seems that it is even better than Chai Dong's.
After listening to all those things, Chunzhi and Princess Liang both patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, I can be relieved." Harueda whispered.
Princess Liang also bowed her head. "This palace test also opened my eyes. However, it can also be seen that those who can be admitted to the top three, in addition to a belly of knowledge, are extremely bold and well-informed. The people in the second list are barely fine, but most of the people on the third list can't be seen. Their performance today can almost reflect their future in officialdom in the future. ”
Harueda nodded. "Indeed."
Among the top three, Ma Gongzi's performance is needless to say, Chai Dong's is also good, and even Wang Zongping, who is in third place...... Although Harue doesn't want to admit it, she also has to admit that that guy is also doing well! However, she still felt that Wang Zongping was inferior to Chai Dong in her selfish heart. No way, who called it her father-in-law?
While the two men were talking, they saw another servant running in. In this palace test, King Liang specially arranged ten small servants and asked them to run back in turn, so that Chunzhi and them would not miss any wonderful moments in the main hall.
Seeing this person come in again, Chunzhi hurriedly asked, "But after the palace test, the emperor let them out?" ”
"It's not!" Xiao Wu hurriedly shook his head, "Originally, the palace test was already over, but the emperor suddenly remembered Chai Jieyuan's identity, so he suddenly asked him - 'Is Aiqing really the son of Chai Yibo, a staff member of King Yong's twenty years ago?'" ’”
Drink!
Chunzhi and Princess Liang are both excited again.
Chunzhi's body swayed, and he almost couldn't sit steadily.
Princess Liang also gasped. "What about him? How did he answer? ”
Chai Xie Yuan replied, yes.
Chunzhi suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet.
She knew it wasn't going to end so smoothly. How could those people just let them go?
"And then?" Princess Liang asked again.
And then ...... The little ones are back. The little guy said, and quickly stepped aside.
Chunzhi's heart was suddenly put on the oil pot, and it was slowly tormented by the low heat.
When she was waiting to hear these people pass on the words of the previous temple test, she didn't feel that time was so difficult. But now...... Ay! She's starting to worry again!
She felt as if another day had passed, and the next little guy hurried in.
"Don't see me, just say it!" Princess Liang's mood was only a little more relaxed than Chunzhi, but she couldn't wait.
The little guy paused, quickly took a deep breath, and said directly: "The emperor appreciates Chai Jieyuan's frankness very much, and praised him in public for a few words. Then he asked him how he had spent all these years and what difficulties he had encountered. Chai Xie Yuan answered one by one, and he also mentioned Mrs. Yuan, saying that he could have today, all thanks to his mother who raised him single-handedly, and the lady who accompanied him through every ditch without regrets. After hearing this, the emperor sighed with emotion, and then praised him in public, 'Chai Aiqing really has a pure heart, and he is also graceful, and I am very relieved to see it. ’”
"And then?" Harueda asked busily.
"Nope." The little guy shook his head, "After the emperor finished speaking, he didn't say anything more." Then, the eunuch announced the end of today's palace test, and then the emperor left with a group of princes. ”
That's it? Without?
Haruka was blinking, and she couldn't react a little.
Princess Liang was already happily holding her hand. "Auntie, it's okay! Father didn't scold his uncle, but praised him! Although he mentioned his grandfather, he didn't say a bad word about his grandfather, which shows that he has at least let go of this matter on the surface! Since he has expressed his position, then others are not qualified to bully you with that past incident, you can rest assured! ”
"Is that so?" Harueda blinked.
Princess Liang nodded hurriedly. "That's it! You also heard it just now, my father is praising my uncle for having a pure heart! He didn't feel uncomfortable when he saw that his little uncle was very relieved, which showed that he was in a good mood and didn't plan to put the past on his little uncle at all. This matter can be turned over! ”
"If only that were the case." Harueda tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Princess Liang smiled again. "For the next head, this is certainly not going to be over so soon. But at least the father above has already expressed his position, so they don't dare to make a big fuss about this matter anymore, and you will have breathing space. Then, after the little uncle entered the court as an official, he would behave well, so that the world could take a good look at the style of the Chai family, and then the past incident could be completely put down. ”
It's a pretty good plan. Harueda nodded.
When the two men had finished speaking, they saw a servant come in. "Princess Qiyu, the students who participated in the palace examination have begun to leave the palace. The prince is also coming back soon. ”
"He's coming back!" Princess Liang immediately blushed with excitement.
Haruka was so excited that she couldn't do it.
She quickly stood up. "In that case, then I'll go back quickly!"
She wants to be the first person in the family to welcome Chai Dong home! “
"Auntie, are you leaving?" Princess Liang was still a little reluctant.
Harue nodded firmly. "I have to go back, I have so much to say to him now! I think he'd love to get home and see me now! ”
Princess Liang blinked, and she nodded. "Well, then I'll get some horses ready now. After this release, you and your uncle will come over as guests, and then we will celebrate together. ”
This arrangement is exactly what she wants.
Harueda immediately agreed.
Soon the carriage and horses were ready, and Princess Liang personally sent Chunzhi to the car.
"That's right!" Before leaving, Chunzhi thought of one more thing, "You went to the palace the day before yesterday and saw Concubine An?" ”
"See." Princess Liang nodded, "But we just looked at it from a distance, and we didn't even speak." There were too many people to see that day, and the mother concubine was not qualified to come, but for the sake of him being the prince's biological mother, the queen mother allowed her to come, but she was just standing outside the crowd. The prince said that he would find a time another day, and he would arrange for me to have a good talk with my mother. He also said...... My mother has always wanted to see me. ”
There doesn't seem to be much difference between saying and not saying.
Originally, she wanted to set up some news, so as to tell Chai Dong to let him prepare accordingly! But now it seems that it is impossible.
Chunzhi pursed her lips and said goodbye to her.
Their carriage returned to the house on the front foot, and someone came to report that Chai Dong had returned.
Chunzhi didn't change his clothes at all, just waited outside the weeping flower door.
As soon as Chai Dong appeared, she immediately cheered. "Xianggong!"
He jumped up to him, jumped on him, and hugged him.
