Chapter 138: A Small Honor
Chapter 138 A small honor
The trial of the Spring Palace in the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace is in full swing. Xiao Xiao was not idle. After living in Beijing for so long, she has never visited Empress Changsun in the palace, which is unreasonable.
Therefore, I got up early in the morning, served my husband to dress and wash, and sent my husband out of the door. Xiaoxiao herself also began to dress up carefully, and she decided to enter the palace today to worship Empress Sun. No matter what the final result of Chunfu is, Fu Jun Zhixuan is already the Huiyuan of the Chunfu Provincial Examination, and even if he finally fails in the palace examination, he will be released as an official.
If he is released as an official, then this time he should resign to this very kind queen sister. If the husband is the champion and the first, then the husband and wife will definitely have a foothold in this Beijing division in the future. In Chang'an, the capital of Beijing, where many dignitaries and dignitaries are in the hair, he is close to the mother of a country, even if he is a ten-level and eight-grade official who is older than his husband, he will have scruples about his husband, so that his official road is not so bumpy.
Mrs. Li> when she learned that her daughter was going to the palace to meet Empress Changsun, a look of envy flashed on her face. Being able to enter the palace at will to meet the queen is also a supreme honor for these noble ladies. Just like those ministers in the court, they can directly enter the palace to face the saints......
But Mrs. Li "> also knows that such an opportunity is unattainable. Looking at the noblewomen of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military families. There are few who can get this kind of treatment. Her daughter can win this honor, and Mrs. Li "> is more pleased and honored. Therefore, she was also busy with the work back and forth, preparing the carriage for her travel, and taking out a large number of various gold and silver jewelry from her jewelry box to dress up the little one.
Xiao faintly remembered that it seemed that she could not wear gold and silver during the period when she was pregnant with the baby. Therefore, he declined the kindness of his mother, and only chose a pearl necklace and a pair of coral earrings from the large pile of jewelry and put them on casually. A fresh and graceful woman with clear water out of hibiscus and natural carving appeared in the unusually smooth bronze mirror. Coupled with the unique maternal brilliance of a woman during pregnancy, it makes the little look quite an alternative style, both men and women, are sideways.
When everything was cleaned up, Xiaoxiao said goodbye to her mother, boarded the carriage with the support of the mustache, and slowly drove towards the palace. The groom who drove the car was an old man from the Li Mansion, and he was naturally familiar with various places in Beijing, so he didn't have to worry about getting lost.
Holding the tiger's head, he sat directly opposite Xiaoxiao in the carriage. The tiger head stared at a pair of curious eyes, looking around the small space of the carriage, probably wondering in his heart: why is this rickety house not as beautiful and spacious as last time?
Xiao Xiao looked at the white and chubby little face of her baby son, and there was a burst of tenderness in her heart. This baby bump is its own root, the continuation of its own body and soul in this world. It is the crystallization of years of love between herself and her husband. She already has something in her heart, this precious son not only has to learn the scientific research articles of this era. I also want to teach him some things of my time, so that he can have far more insight and talent than this era.
Hutou naturally didn't know that his future had been planned by his mother, and he had to spend it in the sea of Wenshan cases. At least at this time, he was carefree, and after a pair of eyes looked around for a long time, he finally fell on his mother, to be exact, on the sparkling pearl necklace around his mother's neck. Anyway, he can see his mother every day, what's so good-looking......
Seeing her precious son staring at her, Xiao Xiao felt a burst of joy in her heart, clapped her hands at him, and then opened her arms and made a gesture for him to come over. Seeing this, the tiger head cheered happily, and a pair of calves rubbed on the man's body. Stretching out two small hands, leaning forward, and also making a gesture to pounce. The mustache couldn't hold it, so he had to hand over the fat boy who was getting heavier and heavier to Xiaoxiao.
As soon as the tiger head jumped into the arms of his mother, he honestly and unceremoniously reached out to grab the pearl necklace around his mother's neck. Xiao Xiao didn't care, this pearl necklace is made of gold wire. Even an adult is hard to tear off. let him pull it, and chatted with him:
"Beard, in the past two days, can there be a letter from Huayin's family?"
She didn't care at all before, and replied honestly: "Miss" >, no! ”
Xiao Xiao smiled lightly, and asked without a trace and extremely naturally: "What about Liangzhou?" ”
The man was startled, and immediately blushed, but said stubbornly: "How can there be a letter from Liangzhou, Miss?" >? ”。 As soon as he finished speaking, a youthful and pretty face was already so red that it seemed to be about to drip blood, and his hands began to twist the corners of his clothes restlessly.
Xiao Xin knows it, but looking at the appearance of the mustache, he can't bear to tease her again. He pretended to be angry and said:
"Hei Ye and Yao Hai are really, if they haven't sent a letter for so long, my lady "> hurt them in vain......
Who knew that when she heard her reproach Li Siye, she hurriedly waved her hand to defend Li Siye: "No, Madame" >, Li Tieta is busy with military affairs, ......." In the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped, and then exclaimed in surprise and covered his cherry mouth.
In this way, it is impossible for Xiaoxiao to pretend to be confused. At the moment, he asked a little teasingly: "Beard, how do you know that the heir is busy with military affairs?" Could it be that you ......"
The beard was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she exclaimed: "Miss" >......". Then he stomped his feet on the carriage so hard that the driver of the car quickly stopped the carriage and asked nervously outside, "Miss" >, what's the matter, what do you command? ”
Xiao Xiao was about to answer with a smile, but he heard the man's anger speak first: "It's okay, Uncle Li, you can drive your car with peace of mind......"
Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of a topic that she had discussed with her husband last night: the rebellion of the mountain bureaucrats. Even if you keep a thought. Knocking on the side, he asked the mantle: "Isn't the battle of Tuyuhun over?" What other military affairs do they have to do? ”
When she saw Miss", > asked seriously, so she had to answer honestly: "Miss" >, how can a slave know about such a military event? After a pause, he finally continued: "It's just that Li Tieta said in his only letter a few years ago that they may have to go to the southwest border to station!" ”
Xiao Xiao frowned when he heard this, and then he was happy in his heart: Go to the southwest border to station? Last night, before Fu Jun Zhixuan went to sleep, he carefully pondered the policy topics that might be tested in the palace examination. One of them was the rebellion of the mountain bureaucrats in the southwestern border today. It has been nearly a year since the rebellion of the mountain bureaucrats, but the imperial court has neither requisitioned nor appeased. At that time, Jiang Zhixuan guessed that the imperial court must be in a dilemma, and he didn't know whether to fight or to be appeased, and His Majesty was very likely to ask Xinke Shizi for advice in the palace examination.
It's just that Jiang Zhixuan doesn't know how to judge. Because according to the current situation of the imperial court, the battle of Tuyuhun has just been experienced, the treasury is empty, the soldiers are tired, and it is difficult to win the battle. But if there is no war, I am afraid that the rebellion of the mountain wings will become more and more intense.
Then. Seeing that her husband was worried, Xiaoxiao asked with concern. Knowing that the question of the policy that the husband was worried about was unsolvable, he put forward his own opinion. According to the historical commentaries of later generations, Li Shimin was an eloquent monarch who took the fierce line of preferring jade to be broken rather than complete. Such a monarch will certainly not be able to tolerate a minority group repeatedly provoking his heavenly might. Therefore, Li Shimin's heart must be inclined to fight!
Jiang Zhixuan listened to a small analysis, and while he was surprised why his beloved wife had such insight, he also faintly felt that his beloved wife's analysis was very reasonable. I have secretly decided in my heart that the strategy topic of the temple test is really like this. In accordance with his beloved wife's ideas, he resolutely suggested that the court and His Majesty should solve the problem by force and quell the rebellion of the mountain officials!
The carriage gurgled into the imperial city, and in front of the gate of the Daming Palace, eunuchs and guards came vigilantly to inquire and investigate. After seeing the jade jue in Xiaoxiao's hand, the vigilant eyes suddenly converged cleanly. There was also a palace man who took the initiative to lead the way, guiding the small carriage towards the Qifeng Pavilion behind the Daming Palace.
Today's palace test, the eldest grandson queen is also quite concerned. So he took the maid to escort him and went to the Qifeng Pavilion behind the Daming Palace, so as to grasp the first-hand information at any time and see if the husband of his benefactor's little sister can really connect the three yuan, the champion and the first!
got a report from the palace maid that someone came to visit the mother with Yujue. The first person that came to mind in the mind of Empress Changsun was Xiaoxiao, speaking of that kind of jade, she only sent out three pieces in total. The owner of one piece has died, and the owner of the other piece is now far away in Liangzhou, and only Xiaoxiao still holds that kind of jade jue with special meaning in this Jingshi.
Sure enough, not long after, I saw Xiaoxiao smiling and holding her big fat boy and walking over slowly. Empress Changsun also got up slowly, took two steps forward, and reached out to take the tiger head in her little hand. With this action, all the palace maids and guards looked at each other: Who is this woman? Why is the queen so kind to her? Not only greeted each other, but also hugged the child for her? Looking at the kid that the queen mother took over, the palace guards first secretly liked it, and then sighed in unison in their hearts:
This kid can win this honor. The men of the world, apart from His Majesty and the princes, who can be so close to the queen?
Xiaoxiao knew that Empress Changsun loved the tiger's head, so when Empress Changsun reached out to hug him, she handed it to her without hesitation. Xiaoxiao knows that in the face of the mother of the country like the eldest grandson, those false and cumbersome politeness will only make her disgusted, but there are things that can make her happy. It's even better!
After taking the worship ceremony, Xiaoxiao also laughed out loud: "Niangniang, why don't you see the son and the childish slave?" ”。 As soon as she said this, a group of palace maids and guards suddenly realized:
"Oh, it turns out that it's still an old acquaintance of the mother......"
