Chapter 316: The Dead Son
After the spring season, the first day of March is really a good day.
On this day, all the new scholars who entered the Shike Department waited outside the palace gate early.
Not long after, he was taken by the eunuch through the long sandwich road, along the zigzag palace wall, and came to the Taihe Palace.
Although Emperor Qianyuan was seriously ill, he was still willing to do it himself in such a major matter as selecting talents for the Great Zhou.
The wounds on Shen Zhiyi's body are not yet good, and every time she walks, it is like walking forward on the ice field with a weight, and her chest is so stuffy that she can vomit blood.
He followed behind the scholar in front of him and slowly walked into the tall Taihe Palace.
Outside, there were heroic and tall golden-armored guards, and inside were chamberlains dressed in crimson palace clothes.
In the center are a full seventy-two bookcases, on which snow paper and pen and ink have been placed.
Shen Zhiyi was a little restless today, and the pain was still secondary, mainly because today's day was very special.
It was the day of the wedding of the second prince, and the palace was correspondingly more festive.
"The emperor has arrived!" The voice of the eunuch was long and far-reaching.
Shen Zhiyi hurriedly followed the soldiers in front of him and slowly knelt down.
The scholars who entered the palace today to participate in the palace examination were all wearing indigo Confucian clothes, wide sleeves and belts, with a bit of scholarly atmosphere.
At this time, Hei pressed down and knelt down, making the atmosphere of the Taihe Hall instantly become solemn.
Emperor Qianyuan's health was not very good, so he simply said some high-sounding words, and then ordered the eunuch to take out the questions of today's palace exam from the splendid bag.
After the public announcement, Shen Zhiyi kowtowed along with the others and sat in their respective positions according to the ranking of Jinshike.
The palace test was to be carried out from early morning to dusk, and Emperor Qianyuan got up and left after passing the motions.
In the Taihe Palace, there were only the scholars who were working hard to write books, and for a while the pen fell on the snow paper, rustling, and very nervous.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the topic and suddenly calmed down a little.
With the introduction of agriculture and commerce, it seems that the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty is empty, which is preparing to open up financial resources for economic reform.
Shen Zhiyi was a businessman before, and this topic can be said to be specially created for him.
It's just that......
Shen Zhiyi slowly raised his hand, although the repair of these hands was really good.
But the joints are still swollen and painful, even if I hold the pen, it is like holding a blade, and the pain is like a split.
He clutched the pen tightly, dipped in ink, and was already sweating profusely when he dropped the first pen on the snow paper.
The surroundings of the Taihe Hall were extremely quiet, and only the low footsteps of the guards guarding the Taihe Hall could be heard.
Suddenly, the guard around the corner saw a tall man wearing dark gold armor, and he hurriedly stopped, just about to salute.
But he was stopped by Na Zhi raising his hand, and his purple eyes looked at Shen Zhiyi, who was sitting in the middle of the Taihe Palace.
Slender fingers swept across the corners of his thin lips, and a hint of surprise swept across his handsome cheeks.
"Heh, this person is a little forbearing!"
His voice was very good, and when he said this, his voice was too low to be heard clearly.
Then the guards bowed and saw him off, and only the swollen corners of his robes lingered around the red palace wall at the corner of the Taihe Hall and disappeared.
Shen Yuzhu was wearing a light red skirt at this time, covered with a cyan coat.
It was already spring and not as cold as winter, and she wore a gray squirrel skin coat on the outside.
As soon as I walked out of Moyun Hall, I saw Aunt Jiang and Mu Yiyi, the third lady of the Mu family, dressed up.
Today is a special day, the second prince is married, and all the female dependents of the nobles of the capital family have to go to watch the ceremony.
The first family, Yongning Houfu, is naturally no exception, because Mu Xitong made a big scandal last time.
Therefore, this time, the ladies of the Mu family want to appear at such a lively banquet again, and they can't be low-key.
Shen Yuzhu is the young lady of the Mu family, although she is in charge of Aunt Jiang's house, but the young lady has to take the lead in the welcome and send-off on the bright side.
Aunt Jiang greeted her and said with a smile, "Young lady, the carriage is outside, just waiting for the young lady." ”
Aunt Jiang was wearing a dress inlaid with gold and jade, which was much more flamboyant than before.
Mu Yiyi next to her combed a pleated skirt with a half-upturned bun and a goose-yellow underneath embroidered with moire, and a pale pink coat on the outside.
She has a gorgeous complexion unique to the Mu family, which used to be too low-key and dressed dullly.
Now that she is dressed a little brighter, it actually sets off her appearance more and more dazzling.
The pearl that has been placed in front of many people has been tired of seeing it many times.
And the pearl that has been covered with dust, once the dust on it is wiped off, the pearl is extremely dazzling.
Shen Yuzhu couldn't help but be stunned, the up-and-coming beauty at the wedding banquet of the second prince today was none other than Mu Yiyi.
"Sister-in-law Fu'an," Mu Yi saluted Shen Yuzhu according to the rules.
Shen Yuzhu nodded, and walked out of the main gate of the Houfu with the mother and daughter.
The wedding banquet was held in the suburbs of the village.
The second prince was born from a noble background, his mother was the queen, and his maternal grandfather Chen Guogong controlled one-third of the world's military power.
The Chen family, born by Queen Chen, the queen mother, is a nobleman in Longxi.
Therefore, the wedding banquet of the second prince Zhao Guang was grand to the extreme, no less than the scale of the crown prince's concubine.
Zhao Guang built his own imperial village in Yulong Mountain on the outskirts of the city.
In addition, over the years, he has taken it by force and done everything he can, and the Zhuangzi of other families in this place have almost all become the property under Zhao Guang's name.
Shen Yuzhu took Aunt Jiang and Mu Yiyi to the imperial village on Yulong Mountain in a carriage, and when she looked up, it was even larger than the imperial village of Concubine Ning'an, who had been to it last time.
The whole villa is built on the mountain, backed by the majestic Yulong Mountain, and in front of the turbulent Yuhe River.
From here, this imperial river runs through the entire capital and becomes one of the important sources of living water in the capital.
From a distance, Zhuangzi is surrounded by corner towers and watchtowers, and pavilions and pavilions are built inside.
There is a river in front of the Huangzhuang, and this time the sun shines through, and the mist rises in the air, enveloping the entire Huangzhuang, looking like a fairy mansion above the nine heavens.
One of the most magnificent and exquisite buildings is the Cloud Palace, which is built on Feilai Peak.
The reason why the Cloud Palace is called the Cloud Palace is because it was built on a rock protruding from Feilai Peak.
Below this rock is the abyss, and under the abyss is the waterfall and pool, and the scenery is excellent.
The steaming water vapor here is particularly prominent, and the cloud palace that will be built here is gently shrouded, feeling like living in the heavenly palace above the nine heavens.
The decoration of the cloud palace is extraordinarily gorgeous, even the walls outside are inlaid with rare and rare gemstones, which looks resplendent in gold.
All the nobles of the family, seeing the second prince setting the wedding banquet here, were indescribably jealous.
This is the wealth that everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty wants, how can they be biased
