Chapter 67: Parkway Court
"On the second floor and above, the attendants are not allowed to follow up."
Ji Fang: "......"
The corners of the mouth of the great eunuch of the East Palace, who was obviously disgusted, twitched, and he almost turned his face.
As the second servant of the East Palace, it was the first time that someone had spoken to him in this tone.
usually goes out of the palace with His Royal Highness, who is not kind to him, even if it is in front of His Highness, he has to give him a few points.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, a chuckle suddenly came from ahead.
Ji Fang followed the voice, Qi Changrong, who was walking in front, didn't know when he stopped, and watched him and the scholar in Tsing Yi confront each other funny.
"Childe, you ......"
Knowing that Qi Changrong was unwilling to reveal his identity, Ji Fang's eyes rolled, and he cleverly changed his name, and there was an indescribable grievance and pity in his tone.
Qi Changrong was willing not to change, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "We are new here, the rules of Baihui Pavilion should be followed, you don't need to be with you, just wait for the master to return." ”
“……”
The last trace of extravagance was broken, and Ji Fang instantly languished, as if he was an eggplant beaten by frost.
For the world-famous Baihui Pavilion, he is also very interested in whether it is good or not, even if he can't understand those obscure words, when he returns to the palace, he will have more capital to brag about in front of his younger brother.
However, Qi Changrong is not a roundworm in Ji Fang's stomach, and he doesn't know what his vanity is doing, even if he knows, he will only laugh at it.
The door to the second floor slammed shut.
The scholar in Tsing Yi held the scroll in his hand, and seeing that Qi Changrong did not mean to stop, his voice was gentle: "Your Excellency wants to enter the third floor?" ”
The road ahead was blocked, but Qi Changrong did not have the slightest displeasure on his face, but said to the scholar with a pleasant face: "Exactly, I don't know if you want to go up to the third floor, what kind of rules does Baihui Pavilion have?" ”
The scholar saw that she had a good attitude, and she did not have the arrogance of ordinary aristocratic children, and his face looked a little better: "Your Excellency, it must be the first time to come to the Parkway Pavilion, the rules in the Parkway Pavilion are simple, the pavilion master has left a question, as long as you can answer it, you can enter the third floor unimpeded." ”
Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows, the nature is good.
The scholar in Tsing Yi led the way in front, and Qi Changrong followed behind him and came to the secret pavilion on the second floor.
There were stacks of thin books inside, and a stream of sandalwood diffused between the thin books, burrowing into the tip of Qi Changrong's nose.
In this regard, the Tsing Yi scholar introduced: "These books are the answers left by the passers over the years, and after they answer, as long as the answers are passed, they are eligible to enter the third floor." ”
Qi Changrong nodded in understanding, but when her eyes touched those thin booklets, she couldn't help but have a trace of surprise in her eyes.
It is hard to imagine that according to such strict rules of the Parkway Court, so many people have been able to pass their tests over the years.
What she didn't know was that sometimes a question from Parkway could fill them with answers in several volumes.
In this way, there are actually very few people who can break through the second floor to the third floor.
Seeing that she was ready, the scholar in Tsing Yi walked slowly to Mige, raised his hand and gently knocked on the wall, listening to the sound, the wall was empty.
Soon, a crack was opened in the center of the Secret Pavilion, and a piece of rice paper that had been folded into a square was handed out of the crack.
The scholar in Tsing Yi looked respectful, bent down slightly, took the rice paper with both hands, and then opened it solemnly, with a solemn face.
The scholar placed the rice paper flat on the low table, carefully pressed it with a paperweight, and made a gesture of invitation to Qi Changrong: "This is the question that Your Excellency wants to answer." ”
The book has already been prepared, and the ink in the inkstone is thick.
Even the pen used to answer is one of the best in the world, and the touch is warm and light.
Qi Changrong walked around the table and stared at the title on the rice paper with faint eyes.
When she saw it clearly, her lips couldn't help but tighten by two points.
I have to say that Parkway is really bold and dares to use state affairs as an ordinary issue.
Even if the rules in this regard are not strict at the moment, those who should avoid suspicion still have to avoid suspicion, and no clear-eyed person will touch this silence openly.
But Parkway did it.
Not only did they do it, but for so many years, they had never heard of anyone daring to trouble the Parkway Pavilion, and even their father turned a blind eye to their existence.
The topic is simple, but it is not simple.
On how to open up a peaceful and prosperous era.
Qi Changrong thought about it, and calmly put pen to paper in the booklet, but only wrote a short sentence.
She replied: Wen can govern the country and secure the country, and Wu can open up land and expand territory.
Her strokes are sharp, revealing an inconspicuous evil aura, judging from the handwriting, she must be an iron-blooded man with great ambitions.
When she finished, she nodded to herself, and set the pen aside without moving.
The scholar in Tsing Yi stood beside him, waited for a while, and saw that there was only a hasty sentence on the book, and the person who answered did not move, his eyes widened slightly, and he asked in disbelief: "Your Excellency is finished like this?" ”
Qi Changrong nodded: "It's over." ”
The scholar in Tsing Yi's expression became more rigorous, her eyes were slightly dark, thinking that she was just confusing the topic at random: "I advise Your Excellency, this time, however, you will never have the opportunity to step into the third floor of Parkway Pavilion in your life." ”
The huge Parkway Pavilion has a collection of strange books all over the world.
However, at this time, there were very few people reading books in the pavilion, and at a glance, I could only see endless books arranged on the shelves in an orderly manner, and only a few people sat on the tables and chairs for people to read.
Qi Changrong smiled and thanked the scholar for his kindness: "That's it, you Baihui Pavilion should have someone to judge." ”
Seeing that Qi Changrong really didn't mean to change it, the scholar in Tsing Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, closed the thin book in front of her, and then handed the thin book in from the place where the rice paper was handed out.
On the other side of the Chamber, across a wall, it seemed that a man reached out and took the booklet away.
Minutes and seconds passed, and in a short time, someone handed out a blank piece of paper through the gap, and a word was written on the paper with a red pen.
Pass.
The scholar's expression in Tsing Yi suddenly became respectful, and he looked at Qi Changrong: "Congratulations on your successful pass, if there is any improper reception before, please don't take it to heart." ”
This is the disturbance of his previous doubts.
Another person passed the perverted Baihui Pavilion test, and the students scattered everywhere couldn't help but glance at Qi Changrong frequently, and their eyes were all obviously curious.
Obviously, they also want to know what the person who can pass the test looks like.
The scholar in Tsing Yi sent Qi Changrong to the door of the pavilion on the third floor to stop, and refused to take any further steps: "I can only send Your Excellency here, and the rest of the road can only be walked by Your Excellency." ”
Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows: "Why?" ”
A touch of shyness and bitterness crossed the eyes of the scholar in Tsing Yi, and he said slowly: "I did not pass the test on the third floor, and I am not qualified to step into the third floor." ”
The collection of books on the third floor of Parkway Pavilion is not as large as that on the third floor, at least at a glance, it is no longer a dense sea of books with no end in sight.
And the number of people who stepped into the third floor is only two today.
One is Wang Zheyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is Zheng Lunming, the supervisor in charge of the Qin Heavenly Prison.
The two of them sat in the most inconspicuous corner of the third floor, each holding a book in their hands and reading with relish, exchanging experiences with each other from time to time, and laughing again.
The entire floor echoed with their demonic laughter, and it was precisely because of this laughter that Qi Changrong successfully found their location.
Qi Changrong stood beside him for a while, not wanting to disturb them suddenly.
But she stood there for a long time, and the two of them still didn't notice anything, and their alertness couldn't be lower.
Seeing that time was passing more and more rapidly, she reluctantly spoke: "It seems that the two adults are in a good mood." ”
Zheng Lunming and Wang Zheyan shook under the sudden voice.
There was a 'click' twice, and the book in their hands fell to the ground.
Wang Zheyan wanted to be angry, but when he turned around and saw that it was Qi Changrong, he knelt on the ground in fright.
"The minister didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, and the rude and offensive place was still expected to be His Royal Highness Haihan."
He said repeatedly, for fear that he would be blamed for speaking a second slower.
Zheng Lunming glanced at Wang Zheyan helplessly, and his movements were many times calmer than him.
"Wechen has seen His Highness."
Even so, Zheng Lunming was still quite frightened, who could tell him why the dignified Prince of the East Palace suddenly appeared in this place?
Qi Changrong picked up two books on the ground, one for this week, and one for etiquette.
She smiled: "It turned out to be the old business of the two adults, and Lone said how to look so fascinated." ”
Zheng Lunming was in charge of the Qin Heavenly Prison, and what he did was on the side of Zhou Yi.
Not to mention Wang Zheyan, who is in a high position, it is understandable that he is fascinated by the etiquette.
The only thing that was surprising was that both of them could laugh so madly when they read such a serious book, and they didn't know what they were having fun with.
At this time, Qi Changrong was not interested in knowing, in their panicked eyes, she chose a place to sit down, and said, "Get up and speak." ”
The two stood up tremblingly.
Qi Changrong frowned: "Sit!" ”
The two of them sat down cautiously again.
"This time, I came to look for the two of you, and I want your help with a small matter."
Wang Zheyan and Zheng Lunming glanced at each other, and they were both shocked and uncertain.
It is definitely not a trivial matter to make the prince of the East Palace open his mouth and ask them to help.
However, they really couldn't think of anything that the prince couldn't explain directly to the emperor, but had to retreat to them.
Qi Changrong continued: "I think the two of you have heard about the events of the past few days, yesterday's holy decree for marriage was issued to Jiang Taishi's Mansion, and you must have also received instructions from your father. ”
"Loneliness will not embarrass you, and what I want you to do is simple, you just need to postpone the specific wedding date."
According to Qi Changrong's own ideas, Jiang You and Qi Zihuan naturally got married as soon as possible, so as not to delay until the end of the variables.
However, this is Jun Chen's begging for him, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, even if she hates the Jiang family in her heart, she should still stand up for Junchen at this time.
It's just that the wedding date is postponed, as for how long it can be delayed, she will never interfere, anyway, she has also helped with this favor, and no one can have a complaint.
