The woman Song Hanpei thought of was naturally Li Zhao, and they hadn't seen it since they beat Li Zhao and went to the northwest, and it had been more than a year.

After all, they are women they liked, although they couldn't be together in the end, Li Zhao didn't hurt Song Hanpei, they were very good friends.

Now that Song Hanpei is participating in the palace examination, no matter what ranking he obtains, he has already entered the official career, and at this time, it is inevitable that he wants to share it with like-minded people.

Song Hanpei sighed secretly, but unfortunately Li Zhao couldn't see it, maybe he was living a good life with Uncle Yang, and he couldn't think of him.

The so-called palace test is to answer in the Taihe Palace, and the emperor personally asks questions, and the palace points out the top three.

Now that the volume has been answered, everyone is going to the palace to meet the emperor.

Because Song Hanpei stood relatively forward, he quickly entered the main hall of the hundred officials.

Song Hanpei felt that he was the same as everyone, or everyone was like him, obviously the hall was brilliant and dazzling, but they didn't dare to look at it.

There is no explicit rule in the hall that you are not allowed to raise your head, but in that solemn and quiet moment, there seems to be a real pressure around you.

An official shouted to stop, Song Hanpei stood up, the pressure was still there, but he really wanted to see the emperor on the throne.

Scholars have this kind of feeling, who doesn't want to see the emperor, but how difficult the imperial examination is, even if he is admitted, his career will not go well in the future, and he will not necessarily be able to see the emperor.

Song Hanpei clenched his fists excitedly, could he raise his head slightly.

At this moment, he heard the emperor's proclamation appointing Yang Shen as the champion.

This will not be surprising, Yang Shen is only eight buckets tall, with a good demeanor, and only if he doesn't win the champion can he have a ghost.

Song Hanpei was even more nervous, let him be in the top three, and the top three could go to the Qionglou banquet with the emperor.

The hand under his sleeve began to rub, but it wasn't his name.

The dynasty is full of talents, and all the scholars are not simple, how can they be so good at the top three?

However, Song Haipei heard a somewhat familiar voice from the throne at this time: "Of course Tanhualang must choose a handsome one, otherwise he will embarrass me." ”

"Song Hanpei, that's it."

Song Hanpei raised her head in shock.

At this time, an attendant said: "Tanhualang stepped forward to thank you." ”

Song Hanpei walked to Yang Shen's side blankly, knelt down in a daze, then kowtowed, and raised his head again: "Emperor...... on"

Why does this emperor seem to have seen it somewhere?

Yang Houzhao stood up from the throne at this time, deliberately walked in front of Song Hanpei, and said with a smile behind his back; "Tanhualang really has a good face, now don't be afraid of embarrassing me."

In the Tang Dynasty, after the release of the new science and technology scholars, a celebration banquet was organized by the imperial court, which was held in Qujiang, Chang'an, called the "Apricot Garden Banquet". It was March, the spring flowers were blooming, before the banquet, the young and handsome people were selected to ride horses to pick flowers in the current science and technology scholars, in order to help the celebration, called "Tanhualang", which had nothing to do with the scientific examination ranking, until the late Song Dynasty, the original second and third places were called the list of eyes, which were around the list, like two eyes, and the Song Dynasty changed it to Tanhua.

According to the origin of Tanhua, when the emperor has a person, he will deliberately choose a good-looking boy as the third place.

Yang Houzhao has such a habit, and this is the reason why he chose Han Che three years ago.

But Song Hanpei has already recognized it, isn't this the Uncle Yang he knows? Uncle Yang's eyes flashed when he praised people, as if a hunter had seen his prey, and he didn't dare to think that this praise was true.

Song Hanpei lowered his head and said, "The emperor has won the award." ”

Yang Houzhao asked suddenly; "How old is Tanhualang? Are you married? ”

Song Hanpei: "......" Uncle Yang should know his situation, right?

"Twenty-three, not yet married."

"Haven't you been married yet? That must be waiting for fame, this is good, many official ladies in the court have not yet left the cabinet, I will help you get married. ”

But Song Hanpei has her own plans, even if she gets married, she wants to marry blindly and dumbly as she likes, what if she marries the wrong one?

"Your Majesty ......" Song Hanpei was very nervous, but he didn't dare to say anything if he refused, because he had just taken the palace test, and he was disobedient.

At this time, Song Hanpei saw the emperor cast a disdainful look at him.

Song Hanpei: Why did the emperor suddenly look down on him again ......?

Yang Houzhao said with his hands behind his back; "Tanhualang, I heard that you are upright, no matter who you are, as long as you feel that the other party is doing something wrong, you dare to speak up, what, do you like me to give you a marriage? That's what I did. ”

If you don't like it, why don't you dare to say it?

Song Hanpei understood, he could scare the emperor back then, leaving the emperor speechless: "......"

The emperor is holding grudges.

The marriage must also be related to holding grudges.

So if Uncle Yang is the emperor......

Song Hanpei's eyes widened suddenly, and the lady of the Li family ......

Oh my God, what did he do when he was younger?

"Emperor, Emperor, Wechen is afraid that I will delay the young lady......"

The last sentence is said like a cat, and you can't understand it if you don't listen carefully.

Yang Houzhao knew that this kid's personality had changed.

Song Hanpei was straightforward back then, but he also had weaknesses, and he would suffer in officialdom, but now he at least knows that he is roundabout, if he has a pure heart, he will definitely be a pillar of talent in the future.

Yang Houzhao was relieved, he has always been a person who does not care, and he is no longer embarrassed for Song Hanpei, and said: "When there is a good one, I will help you find one, and when the time comes, I will give you a marriage, do you say it is good?" ”

The emperor said that since he said the marriage before, although it was a joke, he could not take back his fate.

But Song Hanpei heard it, the emperor meant that there was a suitable one, and whether it was suitable or not, he could choose it himself, at least not to force him to get married now.

Song Hanpei was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again: "Wechen thank Lord Longen." ”

The palace examination was spent in such a tense but joyful atmosphere.

In the afternoon, when Li Zhao was fine, Aunt Qin told Li Zhao about Yang Houzhao's teasing of Song Hanpei in the palace, Li Zhao heard that Song Hanpei bowed his head to Yang Houzhao, and smiled from ear to ear: "Long live the Lord always has a way to subdue people." ”

She said it with honor.

Aunt Qin stood aside and smiled, the relationship between the emperor and the queen was getting better and better.

Aunt Qin suddenly asked, "The emperor still said that he came back to surprise his mother, right?" ”

Li Zhao nodded: "It shouldn't be that Song Hanpei was ordered to do Tanhua, right?" This surprise has nothing to do with me. ”

*****

In the quiet dormitory, on the bed, the slow voice of the herald's opera is out of tune and unpleasant......

Li Zhao sat down, looked down at the head lying on his stomach, and asked speechlessly, "Long live Lord, this is the surprise you said?" ”

Yang Houzhao raised his head; "How's that, doesn't it sound good? I listened to what the minions said, sang to the belly of the pregnant woman, the children inside could hear it, I sang twenty-four filial piety to him, he knew that filial piety to you, so he would not toss. ”
