Chapter 67
When they arrived at the Baohe Palace, the exam was about to end, and after Emperor Wu An saw them appear, he got up and left, and the two of them followed Emperor Wu An and returned to the imperial study together.
When he arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Wu An's body seemed to be a little unwell, and he coughed a few times before he spoke: "What did you see in the palace test?" ”
Seeing Xiao Yan's dazed look, he understood that he didn't pay too much attention to those students who were taking exams, Xiao Han stepped forward: "Back to the emperor's uncle, Pingle thinks that Feng Qianshan's son can be of great use." ”
Hearing Xiao Han mention Feng Qianshan, Xiao Yan's expression was a little unhappy, but he also understood that now was not the time to talk about this matter, so he also nodded and said, "Erchen also thinks that Feng Qianshan has learned and is calm and dignified. ”
Emperor Wu An's tone was light: "Then the two of you think Feng Qianshan can be the champion?" ”
Originally, Xiao Han did think so, but when she listened to the tone of the emperor's uncle, she didn't seem to like Feng Qianshan so much, which made her think about it constantly.
Thinking of Feng Qianshan's background, she seemed to understand the emperor's uncle's thoughts.
Feng Qianshan is a child of a family, although the family is now in decline, but 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse'!
If Feng Qianshan really jumped up, then his family would inevitably follow suit, and maybe he could return to the position of a first-class family, which was probably the last thing the emperor's uncle wanted to see.
Now in the court, there are many families, most of the official positions, especially important official positions are in the hands of the family, although there is a imperial examination system to select, but the poor scholars can successfully enter the court after all, after all, there are a few, most of them are still the sons of the noble family.
The emperor's uncle has always wanted to weaken the power of the family and strengthen the imperial power, so naturally he will not cultivate a powerful family.
Therefore, no matter how talented Feng Qianshan is, his family background is there, and he will not be able to enter the eyes of the emperor's uncle. Not to mention anything else, at least in the position of Champion Lang, Feng Qianshan may not be able to sit down!
Thinking about the deep meaning of the emperor's uncle's words, Xiao Han naturally didn't dare to speak for Feng Qianshan, but said: "Pingle thinks that according to Feng Lang's appearance, maybe 'Tanhualang' is more suitable for him." ”
Xiao Qi was a little surprised by her answer, after all, during the palace examination, he saw her staring at Feng Qianshan with his own eyes. Now that he has changed his position so easily, his heart is mixed.
Compared with Xiao Yan's complicated mood, Emperor Wu'an's mood has become much better because of Xiao Han's answer. He understood that his niece guessed his intentions, so she would change her attitude so quickly, and as long as such a character was carefully polished, she would definitely shine in the court in the future.
At this time, Xiao Han didn't know what Emperor Wu'an was thinking, and seeing that the emperor's uncle was silent, her heart was also up and down.
"I think what Ping Le said is very reasonable, Feng Qianshan is young and handsome, and the position of 'Tanhualang' is indeed very suitable for him." Emperor Wu An said.
Hearing this, Xiao Han understood that he had made the right bet, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After asking this question, Emperor Wu An let them go, and after leaving the imperial study, Xiao Han and Xiao Qi both breathed a sigh of relief.
It was still early, Xiao Han felt that it was time to go and say goodbye to her mother, although her mother was very cold to her, but this did not prevent her from getting close to her.
Hearing that Xiao Han was going to Yongle Palace to greet Princess Fushou, Xiao Yan immediately said, "Sister Han, I'll go too!" I may not have seen Aunt Huang for a long time, and I miss it very much, so it is better to go and meet Aunt Huang together! ”
Considering how the two usually get along, if there is no one else there, it is indeed more embarrassing, and if Xiao Qi is there, the atmosphere may be able to ease up! With such considerations, Xiao Han did not refuse his proposal.
The two of them went to Yongle Palace together, and after the big palace maid Qingluan next to Princess Fushou went in to report, she led them to the small Buddha hall.
The sandalwood was swirling, and the sound of the wooden fish reached their ears one by one, and Qingluan said softly: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the county lord to wait here for a while." ”
Qingluan went in and said a few words, and the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and the eldest princess in plain clothes appeared in front of them.
Xiao Han hurriedly got up and saluted: "Say hello to my mother." ”
Xiao Yan on the side also saluted: "Xiao Qi greets the emperor's aunt." ”
After the eldest princess sat down, the palace people hurriedly served tea, and when they saw their daughter and the prince coming together, the eldest princess frowned without leaving a trace, but she didn't say anything, but asked, "The palace test is over?" ”
Although he was a little surprised that his mother would pay attention to the affairs in the court, Xiao Han still replied honestly: "Yes, the palace test is over." Thinking that he hadn't seen his mother for a few days, he came to say goodbye to his mother. ”
The eldest princess nodded, indicating that she understood, but Xiao Qi on the side stepped forward and said pitifully: "Aunt Huang, my father has been forcing me to learn all kinds of things recently, can you talk to my father and reduce some schoolwork?!" ”
Hearing Xiao Qi being coquettish like this, the eldest princess's face softened, but her tone was still very harsh: "Qi'er, as the prince of the country, you can't be so willful. Besides, your father is doing this for your own good, so you promise your aunt to listen to your father obediently, okay? ”
This is the first time Xiao Han saw her mother and Xiao Qi getting along, she never thought that her mother was so cold to her, but she loved Xiao Qi so much, and even spoke so softly.
When she saw her mother's loving expression towards Xiao Yan, her heart seemed to be rolling through hot water, and she was in pain.
She was cowardly, even if she was uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't dare to say it, so she could only squeeze out a smile and watch quietly from the side.
As if sensing Xiao Han's silence on the side, Xiao Yan hurriedly got up from the eldest princess and said to the eldest princess: "Sister Han has been thinking about you all this time, but because my father ordered a lot of things, I only came to see you now, Aunt Huang, don't blame her." ”
The eldest princess sighed: "The palace didn't mean to blame her, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too worried." Since the emperor ordered her to do it, it means that she believed her, so it is natural to do it in advance with the important first. Here in the main palace, in addition to chanting sutras and chanting Buddha all day long, there are no other important things. ”
When Xiao Yan heard this, she didn't know what to say, and the eldest princess continued: "During this time, the palace will stay in the palace, Your Majesty is not in good health, and the palace will pray for Your Majesty in Yongle Palace." If you have some free time, just come here. ”
Xiao Han understood as soon as she heard it, her mother was showing her favor tactfully, and she also took advantage of the situation: "I happened to have free time these days, come to my mother to say goodbye." ”
The eldest princess was noncommittal and did not refuse, which made Xiao Han's mood brighten up instantly.
When they left Yongle Palace, Xiao Han's face was good, and Xiao Yan was much more pleasing to the eye, and he didn't have the previous jealousy. All I think about is my mother, and my attitude has eased a lot.
Xiao Qi stepped forward with a smile and said, "Sister Han, shouldn't you thank me?!" If it weren't for what I just said, the relationship between you and Huan Gugu wouldn't have eased so smoothly, right?! ”
Xiao Han also knew in his heart that what he said was not wrong, and the relationship between her and her mother could be eased, and he really contributed to it.
She was not a stingy person, and then said: "Then you say, what you want, as long as I can do it, I will help you do it!" ”
This time it was Xiao Yan's turn to be a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, he finally said: "I can't think of it now, so Sister Han, you owe me an agreement." After I come up with it later, you have to fulfill it. Of course, I won't be cheap in vain, and the relationship between you and Aunt Huang during this time will be up to me to figure it out! If I am here, I will keep the relationship between you and the imperial aunt like an ordinary mother and daughter! ”
Seeing Xiao Yan's confident look, she couldn't laugh or cry, in fact, when she returned from rebirth, she only hoped that the people around her would be well. As for the relationship, she didn't particularly care.
However, she did not refuse Xiao Yan's proposal, and nodded with a smile.
Xiao Qi seemed to be very happy and left with a smile, while Xiao Han returned to Huanxi Building.
After washing, lying on the bed, thinking of Feng Qianshan I saw today, I felt pity in my heart.
Feng Qianshan is indeed talented, if he is not from a family, this champion is none other than him. But his identity is there, and the emperor's uncle is annoyed by the family and suppresses the family, but it is the Hanmen scholar who is most in line with him.
However, Feng Qianshan's talent and learning are there, and it is impossible for the emperor's uncle to do too much, which chills the heart of the family. If all the families are united, it will be tricky.
The position of the champion, the emperor's uncle must not agree, then Tanhualang is suitable for Feng Qianshan.
Compared with the obscure list, Tanhualang's position is the most showy except for the champion. Coupled with that face of his, the position really suits him well. And on the side of the family, there is nothing bad to say.
Xiao Han really fell in love with Feng Qianshan, not only because of his talent, but also because of his appearance.
When he saw Feng Qianshan, there was little bit of excitement left, and there was not much left of Xiao Qi and the emperor's uncle.
For Feng Qianshan, she decided to put it aside for the time being, if she could win over Xiao Qi, it would naturally be better.
If she can't, she doesn't force it, she can only say that her position is different.
In addition to Feng Qianshan, there is another person, she is the one who is fancy and is the most likely to enter the top three.
This person's name is He Sheng, a scholar from a poor family, and he is over 30 years old this year. Although the personality is a bit old-fashioned and pedantic, it has unique opinions.
The reason why he failed the first few times was because his strategy style did not conform to today's mainstream, so he repeatedly missed.
Because most of the people selected for the imperial examination are children of families, the rhetoric is gorgeous, but there is no useful content. A pragmatist like He Sheng will hardly be liked by an examiner.
But she felt that for the emperor's uncle, a pragmatist like He Sheng was needed even more at the moment. Therefore, this time in the palace test, He Sheng has great hopes.
The results of the palace examination were announced three days later, and during these three days, in addition to going to Yongle Palace with Xiao Yan every day to ask for peace and talk to her mother, she went to the imperial study.
Fang Qian didn't know why it was suitable, so he asked Emperor Wu'an to take a few days off, so they didn't need to go to the study, they stayed in the imperial study all the time.
Now that the two of them have mastered the folds, Emperor Wu An also began to hand over different twists and turns to them for review. Finally, after being unified by Emperor Wu'an.
It is precisely because of this that the burden on Emperor Wu An's body has been much lighter, and his complexion has also improved a lot in recent days, which made Xiao Han breathe a sigh of relief.
Three days later, the results of the palace examination came out, and He Sheng was the top student in high school, and his name was Zhou Hong, who was about the same age as He Sheng, and he was also from a poor family. As I said before, Feng Qianshan became a Tanhualang.
The day after the ranking is announced, the top three will lead the jinshi through the streets to receive congratulations from the people. At the end of the parade, the emperor would personally hold a Qionglin banquet in Qionglin Yuan, and personally present to congratulate the jinshi.
The prince naturally wanted to go with him, not only that, but even Xiao Han followed Xiao Qi and went to the Qionglin banquet together.
At the Qionglin banquet, she inevitably saw Feng Qianshan, Feng Qianshan was a little depressed at this time, not at all like a talented person who shone in the palace exam.
However, it is not difficult to understand that Feng Qianshan is very confident in his talents, and he recognizes himself as the champion, and it is easy to enter the bag and get things.
Now, he's number three.
Although because of Tanhualang's name, coupled with his age, and handsome and unparalleled appearance, his limelight has overshadowed the first two.
But this obviously didn't make his heart feel much better, not to mention that there were other Jinshi ridiculed on the side, if he was in a good mood, it would probably be strange.
Xiao Han couldn't bear it in the end, and when several Jinshi on the side laughed at him loudly, she stood in front of Feng Qianshan, and her tone was cold: "This county lord is a little strange, I want a few people to help solve my doubts." ”
The name of 'Pingle County Lord' is known to everyone in the entire capital, after all, this county lord is a precedent, which shows how much he loves her today.
Therefore, as soon as he saw the county lord asking, he naturally smiled and said: "Dare to ask the county lord if he has any doubts, but if we know, I will definitely solve the county lord's doubts." ”
She sneered: "Then the county lord can just ask, this county lord wants to know how many people rank in this exam?!" If the county lord is not mistaken, Feng Lang is this year's Tanhua, and Zhuangyuanlang and Bangyan don't seem to be few, and those few people have the qualifications to laugh at this year's Tanhua?! ”
Her words were like a slap in the face. They also understood that this Pingle County Lord was here to stand up for Feng Qianshan, so naturally they didn't dare to say more, and left in a gloomy manner.
As soon as the rest of the people left, only her and Feng Qianshan were left in this pavilion.
After a period of silence, when she thought that Feng Qianshan would not speak, he suddenly got up and made a gesture: "Thank you for the county lord's righteous words, it's just the county lord's golden branches and jade leaves, why bother to see the grass people and such villains!" ”
At this time, they had not yet been granted official positions, so there was indeed nothing wrong with Feng Qianshan calling himself a grass citizen.
