Chapter 71: Returning Home (1)
The four major families coexist, but the children of the Wang family are the weakest, so the court is very polite to the more than a dozen masters selected by the Zhongzhou test. The magistrates who selected these talents were also rewarded and even counted as part of their political achievements, but they did not have a seat at the night banquet.
Wang Qi and several other adult princes have already left the palace to open the palace, and the place where they once lived in the palace is still reserved for them. At this time, it was not a few hours before the night banquet, so they did not leave the palace, and went to their own palaces.
Accompanying Wang Qi, in addition to many guards, there were also several staff. Wang Qi takes his staff with him everywhere he goes, and he doesn't know if it shows his importance to talents or his lack of confidence in his own intelligence.
The palace people cleaned up this place very neatly, and there was no discomfort of being uninhabited for a long time. Wang Qi sat in his usual seat, with two rows of seats in the hall, and a staff member sat on the left and right, which seemed a little empty.
Wang Qi rubbed his chin, tilted his head and asked, "Sir, can you guess where that came from?" ”
The elder staff member on the left smiled and said: "Tianze Academy is very strict in accepting apprentices, this one is not well-known, and it seems to be quite extraordinary, his subordinates dare to guess, and hope that His Highness will forgive his sins." ”
Wang Qi waved his hand: "Mr. Zhu, why be polite, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Mr. Zhu glanced at the middle-aged staff member opposite, stroked his goatee, and said, "I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of 'Confusing Star'?" ”
Wang Qi's eyes changed, obviously knowing. "Sir, where is this the so-called bewildered star?"
Mr. Zhu nodded: "The saint deliberately covers up the news, but there are not only a few people in the palace who are good at stargazing, and there are also strange people in the people who are good at this way, and they dare not spread it widely." ”
Wang Qi: "The Eagle Clan is also eyeing the enemy, why does my father turn a blind eye?" And the Confusing Star has nothing to do with them, huh? ”
Before Mr. Zhu could speak, the middle-aged staff member opposite him said, "My subordinates have ordered people to pay attention, so how can I call the leader of the Eagle Clan 'Clan Sister'." He looked at Wang Qi with a playful look, but he didn't explain it thoroughly.
Wang Qideng stood up: "You say ......"
The middle-aged staff member stood up: "This is just a speculation by subordinates, and there is no basis yet." ”
Wang Qi couldn't sit still, but when he thought about how he was a girl after all, no matter how he wouldn't threaten his status, his heart slowly fell back to its original position. Frowning and thinking for a while, he said: "Although the old things of my father and the emperor are not very glorious, there is nothing to say. If so, why are they so slow to recognize her? ”
The middle-aged staff member smiled: "If it is a woman from an ordinary family, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize it and raise one more daughter." However, the patriarch of the Eagle Clan is the younger brother of Ying Mi, and there are still many entanglements in the name, so it is not surprising that the emperor is cautious. ”
Wang Qi said with a smile: "What is the name, the four major families are forbidden to intermarry, and Ying Mi is cut off from the family, she is her daughter, and the Eagle Clan has no reason to interfere." ”
Mr. Zhu interjected: "But if she is a confusing star, the Eagle Clan insists on using the bloodline to talk about things, and Your Majesty can't ignore one or two worries." ”
Wang Qi stood up and paced in the hall: "This confusing star theory is secretly spreading, what is so extraordinary, I haven't seen anyone who can say that he is ugly!" ”
Mr. Zhu stood up and bowed and said, "I only say that it can influence the situation, but whether it is good or bad, there is no way to deduce." ”
Wang Qi patted his head and said with a smile: "In other words, my Wang Dynasty is still at ease." ”
The two staff members glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they could see that the other party was not as optimistic as Wang Qi, but neither of them dared to say anything.
"It's just," Wang Qi muttered, "it's the last game, why did she admit defeat again?" ”
This question also lingered in Wang Jun's mind, but he didn't say it.
Actually, he had planned to meet this daughter today. The people of the Eagle family are really annoying, if it weren't for the fact that they still need to do things, I will give her some color today!
With the help of the attendants, Wang Jun changed his clothes for the dinner, changed his tiara, and looked at the bronze mirror that was more than one person high. The person in the mirror has a far-reaching gaze, and he is not angry and arrogant, but once the horizontal lines on his forehead are scratched, they can never be removed. years, after all, will not favor anyone.
As night fell, the huge palace became brighter and brighter. Today's banquet venue is in the Tianwu Palace, the two walls of the hall are carved with patterns, one side is the tragic picture of the ancestors of the four major families fighting foreign races, corpses everywhere, countless dead and wounded. On the other hand, there are several great weapons that have been qualified to be passed down to the world in history. Most of them have been buried in the ground with the sages, and it is difficult to find traces of those who have survived in the world.
Just look at the name to know that this place is specially reserved for the generals, the soldiers of the expedition are still in the court, and the banquet of the Tianwu Palace is a great honor.
At this time, the masters of all parties participating in the banquet, except for those who cheated and were imprisoned, have all entered, and the four main exams have also arrived, and their seats are closer to the empty main seats.
The results of the competition have been released, and some people have failed to do so, the results cannot be changed, and there is no need to make a grudge against it. The four of them indifferently forgot about the scene of grabbing the name tag, and each tasted wine and chatted slowly.
Ying Xuan's seat was closest to Helan Qin, one of the main exams, but she didn't have the heart to pay attention to him at all, and her eyes were fixed on the direction of the door, waiting for He to enter the door.
After the competition, after He Lai left with Meng Ning and the others, Ying Xuan never saw her again, and naturally she didn't have a chance to ask why she interrupted her arrangement.
Then she calmed down, maybe she could understand the reason for her decision, but wanted to hear her say it herself.
Chu of Tianze Academy also entered the door with Zhu Bai, hugged his fists all the way to greet those who arrived early, and then took a seat, without Meng Ning and He Lai.
The position of the two is also at the front, not far from the eagle. After they were seated, Ying Sui asked, "Two, why didn't Senior Brother Meng and He Lai come together?" ”
Chu was also defeated by her no matter what kind of moves, and he felt a little pimple in his heart, but he didn't hold a grudge because of this. He replied, "Senior Brother ordered the two of us to come first, and he took Senior Sister He to meet a nobleman, and he will come later." ”
Ying Xuan's heart jumped, others didn't know who this noble person was, but she knew it when she heard it. Dengshi's heart was in turmoil.
She really always hoped that He Lai could see Wang Jun, but at this time, she was worried that Wang Jun had deceived her with clever words.
He Lai finally put on a serious women's dress, which was sent by the palace. There are also two palace maids and two grandmothers to help her get dressed. Finally, an elaborate and ornate carriage carried her into the palace. As if to reassure her, Meng Ning walked all the way.
He Lai listened to the sound of horses' hooves outside the window, and felt a little funny in a trance. felt that this scene was very inconsistent with her character. couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, you seem to have given me a marriage." ”
In the night, the lights are brilliant again, after all, it is not as visible as daytime. Meng Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "It's wrong, it's to send you home." ”
