Yuebai saw that the queen seemed to be interested in this Ji Ziqi, so she gave He Yu a look and asked him to continue.

He Yuran stepped forward again and whispered: "Queen Mother, this candidate Ji Ziqi is one of the few candidates who have been admitted from the county and county, and the others are more or less the children of famous families in Beijing. What's even more surprising is that Ji Ziqi is only seventeen years old, but he is well-read and has an excellent memory, he can be described as a young talent, and now he is famous in Beijing, even Qin Xiangye looked at his resume, and he was amazed. ”

Someone saw that Ji Ziqi began to write, and he also wrote along the topic.

This topic is not an easy topic to write, the immediate world events, there are too many things to consider, if you accidentally say something wrong, it will be a loss, and decades of hard work have failed, which is really unwilling.

Everyone is under pressure to write the topic, and if someone finishes it first, they will be even more stressed, so everyone wants to be the first to finish it.

Liang Huanqing watched them writing hard, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and at this time she knew in her heart that the two topics she chose were the right choices.

At the time of the national crisis, the talents elected by the palace examination must be able to solve the urgent needs of the country, and by the way, she also wants to see how the students and the people view this emergency situation in the current gray background.

This year's situation is indeed unusual, and the courtiers will always have all kinds of concerns, of course, because their positions require them to think too much.

But there are some things that need to be empathized and found another way, and Liang Huanqing, the theory of the courtiers in the court, has heard too much, and now he is taking the opportunity of the palace examination to solicit methods.

Liang Huanqing listened to He Yu praising Ji Ziqi, thinking that it was because he had mentioned two more sentences, and he was worried that He Yu would deliberately interfere in the judgment, so he lowered his head and flicked his fingers, and then said: "It is good to be a young and famous young man, but Lu Gaohong was the same at the beginning, and his writing was amazing in Beijing, and in the end it was not the end of the eternal criminals." ”

He Yu knew that the queen mother was accusing him of talking too much, and then bowed his head and said: "The queen mother taught him a lesson. ”

"The judgment can be neat and rigorous, and other moths should not appear in front of the palace." Liang Huanqing said: "Now the palace can't rub sand in the eyes, and those students who have teachers in the court, their teachers are not allowed to participate in this judgment, so as not to cause unfair things to happen." This palace tries its best to be fair and just, and I also hope that the poor family can really produce a noble son......"

If it is just a scholarly family, then the foundation in the DPRK and China is criss-crossed and very complicated, and Liang Huanqing wants a new force with a clean background to appear.

Things in the DPRK and China are worrying, there are too many things that need to be considered by Liang Huanqing, just like the matter of Xia Sicheng, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, and the Shangshu Gong Huiwei of the Ministry of Industry, Liang Huanqing and Si Nanping obviously know that there are not only the two of them behind this, just these two people, they can't do such a thing, but Liang Huanqing thinks that the people in the DPRK and China are not in harmony, and only Qin Yuandao and Liang Lin are the ones who treat her wholeheartedly.

Others may just want to maintain the safety of the imperial court, and most of the decisions made by the queen are not very optimistic.

Liang Huanqing is struggling step by step, it is really difficult to go forward, if there is a person with a clean identity to enter the imperial court, then it will be a powerful assistant for Liang Huanqing.

Maybe this Ji Ziqi will be one of them.

I don't know why, Liang Huanqing paid some excessive attention to Ji Ziqi, maybe because he was sitting in the middle, maybe because he looked up and peeked at the queen mother when everyone saluted, or maybe when everyone looked at this topic and was a little embarrassed, only he was the first to pick up the pen and write hard.

It's like knowing that the queen will come up with this topic.

Anyway, Liang Huanqing is more or less curious about Ji Ziqi4 and wants to know what he is writing on the paper now.

However, as the chief examiner, she can't obviously have a lot of contact with the candidates.

After a few incense sticks, He Yu announced the end of the exam, and the imperial eunuch serving in the Qinzheng Palace collected the test papers, and then sent them to the Taixue Mansion for review.

Liang Huanqing sat on the dragon seat, and after watching them collect the exam papers, she stood up, and Yuebai helped her to prepare to go back to Qianning Palace.

Everyone stood up and said to the queen, "Congratulations to the queen." ”

When he walked out of the screen, Liang Huanqing subconsciously glanced back at Ji Ziqi-

He wore a snow-white straight-placket robe, the drape of his clothes was excellent, and his waist was tied with a wide belt of moon white auspicious cloud patterns, on which only a piece of ink jade of excellent jade quality hung on it, the shape seemed rough but simple and gloomy. The black hair was tied with a silver ribbon at will, without a crown or hairpin, and a few strands of hair on the forehead were scattered by the wind, intertwined with the silver ribbon and flying, looking quite light.

Standing in the heart hall with everyone and saluting her.

Liang Huanqing looked at him, Ji Ziqi seemed to realize something, raised his head slightly to look at the queen mother, but soon lowered his head again.

I thought I knew the rules in my heart, but at that time, I was curious about the queen and wanted to see it, so I rashly looked up.

"The Queen." Yuebai reminded in a whisper.

Liang Huanqing looked away and turned to leave.

In the back of the Qianning Palace?? On the way, Yuebai kept looking at the queen mother's expression, and finally asked cautiously: "Queen mother, are you particularly optimistic about Ji Ziqi?" ”????????

Liang Huanqing sat on the soft sedan chair and rested with her eyes closed, she shook her head and said, "No." Bengong didn't take too much fancy to anyone, but was just a little interested in him, don't tell anyone about this matter, because if someone on the clan's side likes him, it will be unfavorable to the court.??"

Yuebai seems to understand or not?? nodded: "Then do you want to tell Lord Qin???

Liang Huanqing opened his eyes and looked at Yuebai, and then said with some disappointment: "You don't need to tell anyone, you can judge the paper how you want." ”

Although he said so, Liang Huanqing still felt in his heart that Ji Ziqi must be able to be lifted.

"Yes." ?????? Yuebai didn't dare to say anything more, and followed obediently.

"What happened after the temple exam?" Now things are one after another, and Liang Huanqing is too busy to be busy, but fortunately, with the help of Si Nanping and Yuebai, things can be dealt with.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet." Yuebai thought for a while, "Queen Mother, in addition to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet to invite the ministers, should the clan relatives and adults be released together and eat in the palace?" ”

Liang Huanqing only felt a headache: "This palace hasn't dealt with such a thing yet, let's discuss it with the princess." ”

At that time, when Liang Huanqing put his clan under house arrest, Qi Wangshu was also present, and the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was usually to invite the clan relatives, but now the clan relatives and them are not in the same boat, not to mention that they are already under house arrest now, they must be full of complaints, which is really worrying about what they will do at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.

Yuebai nodded, and said to the eunuch who carried the sedan chair: "Go directly to Fengyang Pavilion." ”

Fengyang Pavilion has always been the courtyard where the eldest princess lives, and it has not changed from beginning to end.

Outside the courtyard, the powder wall is encircled, the green willow hangs around, there are three hanging flower gatehouses, and the verandah is copied on all sides. In the courtyard, the Yong road is connected, the mountains and stones are embellished, and the plaque of "Yi Red Fast Green" is hung on the five hugging buildings. The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the flowers are splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool. Qinfang Creek converges here and flows out of Fengyang Pavilion, and there is a white stone road across Qinfang Creek to pass to the opposite bank.

It turns out that all four sides are carved hollow exquisite wooden boards, or "Liuyun Hundred Bats", or "Three Friends of the Cold Year", or landscape figures, or feather flowers, or highlights, or Bogu, or Wanfu Wanshou all kinds of patterns, all of which are hand-carved and carved by famous hands, and the gold inlaid treasure of colorful pins. A mallet and a lance, or there is a place to store books, or there is a place to set up a tripod, or a place to place a pen inkstone, or a vase for flowers, and a place to place a bonsai. Its maules are varied, or the sky is round, or sunflower banana leaves, or a chain of half-beauties. It's really full of flowers, clear and exquisite.

The five-colored gauze is pasted, and it is actually a small window; The color of the silk is light, and it is actually a secluded household. And the walls are full of walls, all of which are grooves cut out in the shape of antique toys. Such as pianos, swords, hanging bottles, table screens, etc., although hanging on the wall, they are all level with the wall.

Qi Wangshu grew up here, she has always been the proud daughter of the sky, the darling of the royal family, and she didn't have anything to worry about before, but now only she and the queen mother are left in the palace, and the queen mother is in charge of the government, and she can only take care of the affairs of the palace.

When Liang Huanqing arrived, she watched a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounding her outside the door of Fengyang Pavilion, she was wearing a peach pink brocade shirt, a pearl white lake crepe skirt, a pair of pear vortices on the face of the white and tender melon seeds, lightly smeared rouge, and the cheeks were polished like a blooming Qiong flower, white and red. The long black eyebrows seem to be not paintings, and a pair of eyes that are looking forward to light are black and white, rippling with intoxicating charm. The wide pearl-white ribbon lightly curled up the waist-length black flowing hair, but it exuded a fairy-like temperament.

The forehead and ears are decorated with a white and pink intarsia beaded hair chain, and occasionally one or two disobedient beads hang down, adding to the beauty of both reality and illusion.

The white jade bracelet on the wrist, the warm mutton fat white jade exudes an unspoken brilliance, which complements a simple outfit, with a thin silver necklace around the neck, but faintly glowing with a faint purple luster, it is just a purple spar at a fixed glance, but just like this person, it exudes a powerful charm power in the light. If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is like a prime, the eyebrows are like green feathers, and the muscles are like snow. The black hair is wrapped around his waist with a light blue ribbon, and he sways slightly with his steps while walking, showing his sense of weakness. Dressed in a plain brocade palace robe, the water blue light veil was blowing, the light veil was flying, and the whole person exuded a faint aura.

If the skin is condensed, the blow can be broken, the red lips are cherry red, no need to dot, the slender willow eyebrows are lightly raised, and the cherry lips outline a smile, but there is a faint chill. Dressed in a plain shirt, the dark lines of the sky-blue flowers on the other side flickered in the walk. Gently tied with a silk ribbon of lake blue brocade, the simple high bun and the messy bangs swaying in front of the forehead against the breeze show a kind of casualness, a pure white gem hairpin, exuding brilliant spots. The corners of his mouth were secretly hooked, and his eyes, which were as cold as frozen lake water, looked extraordinarily clear.

A petite face the size of a palm, a skin that can be broken by blowing, delicate facial features, the clearest dark blue eyes, and the most beautiful rose-colored flowing hair that makes people jealous. Because he has taken the condensing pill made by his mother since he was a child, he has a faint floral fragrance on his body. Wearing an ivory white floor-length dress, covered with a silk embroidered colorful cherry blossom Xidi palace veil, her hair is like half a chrysanthemum, and the peach blossom is carefully pasted on her forehead, which makes her complexion look like spring, with big cherry lips and big eyes, and sideburns like clouds.

On both sides, there are two pinched gold wire hollow peacock hairpins, and each peacock has a string of black pearls under its mouth, which is both extravagant and unassuming.

She is asking them to teach themselves how to read the accounts, the palace tightens clothes and food for the construction outside the palace, and now that the imperial treasury is tight, she naturally has to think a lot.

"Wangshu." Liang Huanqing called softly.

Qi Wangshu was worried about how to read the accounts, and Qing Yin was also in a trance.

Everyone in Fengyang Pavilion didn't notice that the queen mother had been here for a long time, and when they heard the queen mother's voice, they hurriedly bounced up, knelt down and said: "The queen mother has arrived, and the slave has lost her welcome, and I hope the queen mother will forgive her sins!" ”

Qi Wangshu also stood up and saluted Liang Huanqing: "Imperial sister-in-law." ”

"Excuse me." Liang Huanqing stepped forward to hold Qi Wangshu's hand and said with a smile: "It's rare to see you so serious." Great work! ”

"The imperial sister-in-law is hard, after three months, her already bad body has lost a lot of weight, and no matter how thin she is, it will be gone." Qi Wangshu hadn't seen Liang Huanqing for a few days, and when he looked up and down, he felt a lot of distress: "Yuebai, you have to tell the queen to eat more, if this princess loses weight next time she sees her, she will ask you!" ”

Yuebai curtsied: "Yes, princess, this is natural, but the queen doesn't listen to the slave......"

Yuebai deliberately complained to Qi Wangshu here, just hoping that Princess Wangshu could persuade the queen to eat more.

"Imperial sister-in-law!" Qi Wangshu pretended to be angry, "You don't take care of yourself like this, teach me how to put my mind at ease?" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Liang Huanqing can only show a smile when Qi Wangshu is here, "I came to see you today because I have something important to discuss with you." ”

"What is it?" Since he saw that Liang Huanqing had changed the topic, Qi Wangshu also followed the topic and asked, and the two sat down to discuss.

"Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, there is a family banquet in the palace, I will not move the details, I hope you will take care of it more." Liang Huanqing said.

"It's nature." Qi Wangshu said: "The imperial sister-in-law manages the affairs of the imperial court, I naturally have to worry about the imperial sister-in-law, the affairs in the palace are small but cumbersome, and there are many rules, but fortunately, I grew up in the palace, and there are so many managers to teach, the imperial sister-in-law can rest assured." ”

Liang Huanqing listened to Qi Wangshu say this, nodded frequently, and then said: "There is one more thing ......"

"What?"

"Last time in the Qinzheng Palace, the clan relatives asked the palace to establish a prince, and the palace put them under house arrest in a fit of anger, and now the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, but I don't know whether to invite them or not."

Qi Wangshu also knew about this, she said: "The family banquet is naturally to invite the clan relatives, is the imperial sister-in-law worried about what they will do?" ”

"When the time comes, when the palace test list is approaching, I will also invite the champion list to explore the flowers and jinshi, all of whom are new officials, and they will always worry about what the clan relatives will say something bad."
