On April 19, the 11th year of Zhenguan, more than 10,000 scholars gathered in Beijing, each with frustration and frustration, began to prepare to return home. In stark contrast, there are more than 300 scholars who passed the provincial examination. They changed into six-grade court clothes embroidered with heron patches in high spirits, gathered in one place in the Ministry of Rites, and constantly congratulated each other, preparing to participate in today's celebration of the new science and technology Shikuan official parade in the street.

&====nbsp; Among a large group of birdmen dressed in heron uniforms, Jiang Zhixuan is particularly conspicuous. The other scholars were all dressed in a blue-green six-grade official uniform, but he was the only one dressed in red, dressed like a groom official. The patch on the chest is not embroidered with a heron, but a mandarin duck pattern used by the four-rank civil officials.

The white lined high neck is underneath, and the bright red four-rank official uniform is worn outside. Wearing a black gauze official hat, his feet are white on a white background and black on his feet. The hair is neatly combed, and a strand is drawn from the left and right temples. On the handsome and unparalleled white face, the sword eyebrows are towering, the starry eyes are bright, and the whole person looks high-spirited and heroic!

For today's celebration, Xiaoxiao got up before dawn to get busy. has been busy for nearly an hour before he dressed up his husband like this. Then, I asked my mother to send a carriage to send my husband to the Ministry of Rites to pay homage to the sages and ancestors and participate in the celebrations. Of course, Jiang Zhixuan was not alone, on a carriage, there were three new branch top class jinshi, one was the champion Jiang Zhixuan, one was Li Qin, who was the first 16th, and the other was Feng Gongmin, who was the 33rd head of the first class. As for Wu Pei and Mo Shaojie, they regretted that they failed in the palace examination......

After sending her husband away, Xiaoxiao is ready to return to the backyard where she lives and tease the tiger's head. As this baby son grows up day by day, Xiaoxiao's love for his baby son is getting stronger and stronger. The tiger's head already has four tiger teeth, and whenever it makes him happy, the kid grins, walks out the four white baby teeth, and giggles with his little fat hand. As long as his chubby little face smiled, there was only a slit left in his dark eyes, and a lot of saliva naturally flowed from his small pink mouth. At this time, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but take him into her arms, kissed his pink little face a few times with great pity, and then scolded him and taught him a lesson: stinky boy, the king of saliva......

However, as her little belly gets bigger and bigger, she has become more and more difficult to hold the tiger's head. In addition, the tiger's head likes to move or not, no matter who holds it, it will continue to toss. For the safety of the fetus in her arms, her husband and father and mother are now strictly monitoring her and not letting her hold the tiger's head. lest the tiger's powerful calves kick the fetus in the small abdomen.

In the small garden in the backyard, the mustache is leading the tiger's head to toddle on the cobblestone path. Tiger Head wore a pair of thick-soled cotton shoes today, which were the soles and uppers that his grandmother had personally taken with a needle and a thread. He wore a strange-shaped hat on his head, needless to say, it was bought for this little nephew by his uncle, Li Qin, who was out of tune. What's funny is that Li Qin himself even has one of this kind of hat. On the white and tender neck, a jade Ruyi is hung with a wide-brimmed red silk rope. That's a big deal. This is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor today. With this jade pendant, unless the tiger head commits the great crime of rebellion in the future, no one will want to touch him......

Xiaoxiao, supported by a maid temporarily assigned by the Li Mansion, slowly paced back to the backyard with her stomach and one hand on her waist. As soon as I stepped into the arch of the crescent moon, I saw my baby son with two hands on the hands of the mustache, a staggering toddler. Seeing my mother come in, a pair of eyes suddenly narrowed again, giggling and crying out in a milky voice:

"Mother...... ...... mother, mother ......". His hands were raised high, and looking at his movements, it was obvious that he wanted his mother to hug him. Xiao Xiao chuckled for a while, and said in her heart: Son, my mother can't hold you now. However, looking at the pure and longing eyes of the baby son, his heart softened again, and after all, he squatted down with difficulty, opened his arms and clapped his hands at the tiger's head. The tiger head cheered, giggled and stepped away from his two calves, and leaned hard into his mother's arms.

finally hugged his baby son, but Xiaoxiao didn't dare to stand up. In this way, let the tiger head hold his knees, half leaning on his arms and shaking constantly, enjoying some family fun......

Not long after, a maid hurriedly came in from outside the courtyard, and after arriving at the door, she said loudly:

"Miss, someone has come to the palace, saying that the queen invites you to meet in the palace......"

"Well, got it, you go down first!".

Two or three years of pampering. Let Xiaoxiao gradually have the bearing that a noble lady should have. In front of these subordinates, she maintained the majesty of the daughter of the Li family and the mother of the Jiang family. Of course, in front of Qing'er and Fu'er, she is still the kind and kind young lady she used to be.

Xiaoxiao got the maid's message, and her heart was quite strange. Niangniang suddenly summoned me to the palace to get together, why didn't I go to visit her a few days ago, I think so, but the queen summoned me, and I can't help but go. He immediately instructed the maid to prepare the carriage, and went back to the room to clean up. Only then did he hold the tiger's head and go to Daming Palace together. Why do you have to take the tiger head, because now the tiger head and the little princess have become friends......

If he saw that Xiaoxiao had never entered the palace with a tiger head, the little son would pout his mouth and make noise in front of the eldest grandson queen and Xiaoxiao......

Lao Li, the coachman of the Li Mansion, has now become a celebrity in the entire Li Mansion. Because the entire Li Mansion, including the old man Li Rusong and his wife, no one has entered the palace as many times as he has! Even some of the royal guards and the little leaders of the Qianniuwei in the palace are already familiar with him, because every time Xiao Xiao enters the palace, he drives it. It's the same this time!

The carriage gurgled through Suzaku Street and entered the Imperial City. After that, go all the way along the palace road and drive directly into the Daming Palace. At the gate of Daming Palace, there were eunuchs arranged by Empress Changsun waiting here. Seeing the carriage of the Li Mansion coming, the eunuch greeted him as if he had seen his own relatives. He shouted from afar:

"Ouch, my Mrs. Jiang, you're a little late today......"

Xiao lifted the curtain, and the eunuch immediately ran over and stretched out his hand to help him, and said sharply: "Be careful!" ”

Xiaoxiao got out of the car and stood on the ground, and smiled at the eunuch:

"There is another prince of Lao who has been waiting here for a long time!" , as he spoke, he handed over a red envelope casually. Inside is a thin piece of silver cake, weighing about two taels, that is, two pieces of money. The prince took it with a smile:

"Slave maid Mrs. Xie has been rewarded!". As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around and took the tiger head in his hand:

"Ouch, I haven't seen you in a few days. Our little ancestor is getting stronger and stronger! Seeing that the tiger was about to howl, he hurriedly handed him over to the beard who had just gotten off the carriage:

"Hey...... The slave maid still doesn't have that blessing, so she can make the little boy smile! ”

While taking the tiger's head, he smiled at him and said, "Princess, if you can stay with our little son for more than four hours a day, you will be able to hug him in a few days!" ”

The princess shook his head and smiled: "The slave and maid are not that blessed!" ”。 As he spoke, he turned his head to the trail:

"Mrs. Jiang, Niangniang has ordered, after you enter the palace, let the slave maid lead you to Qifeng Pavilion, hurry up and come with the slave maid!"

Xiaoxiao nodded, and walked towards Qifeng Pavilion with small steps, saying that in this Daming Palace, except for some places dedicated to the emperor, all the other places, Xiaoxiao has almost turned around. Even if she is allowed to wander around the palace alone, she will not be lost.

The prince also half-bent down and followed behind Xiaoxiao, looking humble, completely without his shelf in front of other noblewomen. This Gonggong Li is the chief eunuch beside Empress Changsun, and coincidentally, he and Wang De, the big eunuch next to Li Shimin, turned out to be brothers. His parents are also capable people, and they gave birth to six sons in a row, and they all supported them, but their lives are getting poorer and poorer. So in the fourth year of Wude, the two brothers entered the palace and became eunuchs. Unexpectedly, nearly twenty years later, the two brothers, one has become the chief eunuch of His Majesty's side today, and the other has become the personal eunuch of the queen's mother......

This prince can do the position of the chief eunuch, and his eyesight is naturally extraordinary. He could see that this Mrs. Jiang was different from other noblewomen. The other wives of the court, when they saw the queen, they all seemed a little cautious. But this Mrs. Jiang is different, she gets along with the queen mother, while maintaining a minimum of respect, but it is extremely natural. I even sometimes argue with my mother. However, the queen mother never blamed this Mrs. Jiang. Not only that. The princess could also see that the queen seemed to enjoy the time with this Mrs. Jiang. So much so that she was summoned to the palace every once in a while, and she chatted for half a day or even longer. How to say it, it seems that this Mrs. Jiang and the queen mother are like two sisters in the folk......

When I arrived at Qifeng Pavilion, Empress Changsun had been waiting there with her little son for a long time, and unexpectedly, Li Zhi, a pheasant slave who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared here today rarely, and looked at that appearance, it seemed to be quite excited.

A little symbolic salute, the eldest grandson queen hurriedly told her to be free of courtesy, and complained as before. Then he buried himself in packing up his things, although Xiao Xiao was strange, but he also took advantage of this opportunity to salute the pheasant slave and the little son:

"The women meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang ......"

The pheasant slave is almost ten years old, and he is very precocious. Hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Mrs. Jiang, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy!" ”。 As he spoke, he looked at the queen mother, and saw that there was no different color on the queen mother's face, so he was relieved. He knew that the queen mother loved this Mrs. Jiang very much, and thought that the queen mother would blame him for being rude! As for the little son, he had already jumped to the side of the beard and ate the tofu of the tiger's head......

After seeing the ceremony, Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and said to the eldest grandson queen who was still buried in sorting out things:

"Niangniang, what are you packing up, the woman looks at you like this, it seems that she wants to leave the palace"

Empress Eldest Sun said 'um' casually, continued to clean up the plate of various petals on the table, and said as she cleaned up:

"You girl really doesn't care about the world, don't you know that in the afternoon, the new champion is going to praise the official parade on the street, I plan to take the son and the pheasant slave to see the excitement, so I specially called you here and asked you to go with you. What are you doing sitting, come and help me! ”。 The mother of a country, and in her small words, she is actually commensurate with you and me, which shows how far the relationship between these two people has progressed by leaps and bounds!

Xiao Wenyan gently walked over and sat on another stool, followed the example of the eldest grandson, put those pink, crimson, or pale yellow petals into silk pouches, and asked while loading:

"Look at the excitement, why do you want to ...... these petals?" I didn't dare to say the rest of the words, this joke can't be made!

Empress Eldest Sun naturally knew what the second half of her sentence was, raised her head and glanced at her, and said with some nagging:

"You girl...... This is for the sowing of the new Kojin. I've never been to such a celebration before, but this year, both the son and the pheasant slave are clamoring to see the excitement. I thought about it, Zuo Jin is also idle, Your Majesty has been busy with the affairs of the mountain officials recently, and I am bored and panicked when I stay in the palace all day, so I also moved to see the excitement. These objects were all prepared that Wang Li told me. ”

Xiao Xiao let out a soft 'oh' and put up the petals. Looking at the large pots of petals on the table, I stuck out my tongue in my heart: how many flowers do you have to waste......

After installing the petals, Empress Eldest Sun looked left and right again, feeling that nothing was missing. Only then did he order a few eunuchs to carry large bags of petals and ribbons onto a wide carriage. Xiaoxiao knew that it was a special carriage for the eldest grandson queen to go out on patrol. Sure enough, there was nothing left to carry. Empress Eldest Sun clapped her hands lightly, breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched out her hand and greeted:

"Pheasant slave, son, take your little dd, get in the car, let's go see the excitement!". That look, where is there a little bit of motherhood, the majesty of the mother of the country in the world, it is clear that she is a loving mother who dotes on her children boundlessly!

The pheasant slave and the little son cheered, and they were about to rush to hug the tiger's head. The beard hesitated for a moment, and finally handed over the tiger head to the pheasant slave Li Zhi, the little son was too young, and she couldn't hold it at all! Even if it is handed over to the pheasant slave, the beard has been carefully watching on the side, ready to reach out and catch the tiger's head at any time......

Waiting for the manoeuvre and the other two palace maids to work together to get the three little ones into the carriage. Empress Eldest Sun turned her head to the trail:

"Let's get in the car too, I asked people to set the highest floor in the Zuiyue Building, and then be condescending, take a good look at the demeanor of the new science and technology scholars." said with a smile on his face, and said a little teasingly:

"The most important thing is to see how many young ladies and small jasper are throwing hydrangea ...... at our champions." After saying that, he grinned a few times, turned his head and walked towards the carriage.

Xiaoxiao was said by the eldest grandson, and suddenly felt a wave of annoyance in her heart for no reason: I knew that I wouldn't dress my husband so handsome this morning. Then he began to suffer from gains and losses: Will the husband be unbearable**** You know, since they were pregnant with this little guy in their womb, the couple have not been intimate for seven months......

Although it is only a carriage, the layout inside is absolutely magnificent. Although Empress Changsun and Li Shimin both advocate frugality, but now that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is thriving, how can the things used by the royal family really be simple

This special carriage is pulled by eight horses. The whole body is made of iron and wood, and the bottom plate and the four walls are inlaid with copper skin. Even with a strong bow and a crossbow, it is difficult to hurt the people inside, and one of the doors and windows on both sides of the carriage are also inward-opening. If the people inside do not open the windows and doors, it will be difficult for the people outside to enter the inside.

After Xiaoxiao and Empress Changsun entered the carriage, they plugged in and locked the latch of the gate. Only open the windows on both sides, so that the pheasant slave and the little son can enjoy the outside view from one window each. Unexpectedly, the tiger head also came to join in the fun, one screamed vigorously, pulled the skirt of the little son arrogantly, and kept pointing to the window with one hand, which was clearly saying:

Sister, even if you want to see the Western scenery...... made the eldest grandson queen and Xiaoxiao look at each other and smile, and Xiaoxiao shook her head even more: This stinky boy, who is only a little more than a year old, is so arrogant, how can he be born when he grows up in the future. No, he must be educated well, lest he grow up and become a gentleman who is kicked by everyone......

After driving on Suzaku Street for a while, the carriage turned and drove into the West Market, and finally stopped at the gate of Zuiyue Tower. Xiaoxiao got out of the car first, and when he looked at the repertoire, he found that there were dozens of sturdy men standing in front of and behind Zuiyue Tower. I knew in my heart that this must be the queen's guard. Then, among these strong men, she actually saw the figure of Qin Shuang, who she hadn't seen for a long time. I was even more surprised in my heart: It seems that the queen came out with Li Zhi and her little son this time, or through the official action allowed by Li Shimin......

Qin Shuang dressed up as a butler and slowly walked towards the carriage. He was also surprised: why Xiaoxiao was here, and got out of the queen's car. But this was obviously not the time to catch up, so he just smiled and nodded, and walked to the carriage:

"Mrs. Yu, the highest and most luxurious Tianzi room in the Drunken Moon Building has been set below, please move in. In the afternoon, the streets of the West Market will be noisy and chaotic, and the lady can watch the celebrations of the new science and technology scholars in the Tianzi room! ”

I saw Empress Changsun slowly get down from the carriage, nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, Steward Qin, you can lead the way, take care of the little prince and the young lady, by the way, and Mrs. Ben's little nephew ......."

Qin Shuang's mouth opened widely: Niangniang's little nephew has always been by Li Shimin's side, and he doesn't know much about the queen's mother. At this time, he thought that Niangniang had taken over a nephew of a certain mother's family, but when he saw that the so-called little nephew turned out to be the tiger head of Brother Jiang's family, the surprise became even stronger: Brother Jiang's son turned out to be the little nephew of the queen's mother, what is the relationship between Brother Jiang and His Majesty

Of course, he can't think much about it at this time. Listening to Empress Changsun's instructions, he immediately waved his hand, and several strong guards came up. A few people in front and behind, protecting the pheasant slave and the little son, as well as the tiger head, the eldest grandson queen and Xiaoxiao, and other five people, went towards the Tianzi room of the drunken moon building.

Chu Fugui, the proprietor of the Drunken Moon Building, did not know that his Drunken Moon Building had flown into a golden phoenix at this time. Shortly after Empress Changsun moved into Zuiyue Tower, he successively received two top-secret urgent letters sent by his master, Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Rusong, the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion:

In the morning, it was learned that six dead assassins sent by the Mountain Clans had infiltrated the Jingshi and lived in his Zuiyue Tower......
