According to the practice of previous years, the imperial court will hold a Qionglin banquet for the newly promoted Jinshi.

On the third day after the Qionglin banquet in the palace test, there will be a lot of interesting things at the banquet, which is also the talk of the people in the capital after tea and dinner, so many people are paying attention to this celebration.

Before the Qionglin banquet, He Shiyan guessed that there would be a lot of people coming to visit, and he didn't want to see it.

Especially Wang Linzhang, from time to time to send some treasures to the door, it is difficult to refuse.

Ning Xi proposed to go out for two days and wait for the Qionglin banquet to come back.

So, the two took a carriage to a beautiful manor on the outskirts of Beijing to relax.

The scenery is just right now, there is a big pond in the other village they bought some time ago, the fish in the pond are shuttled, and the surrounding is full of peach blossoms, the peach blossoms are scorching, and it is very beautiful.

Xu arrived in an unfamiliar environment, and Ning Xi lay in bed at night with some insomnia.

She tossed and turned, and was soon picked up by the man next to her.

The moonlight outside the window came in, it was very bright, and she saw He Shiyan curl her lips and asked with a smile, "Why can't you sleep?" Want me to accompany you? ”

"No, you don't." Ning Xi hummed.

He Shiyan's hand touched her in front of her and kissed her earlobe, "Since Xi Niang can't sleep and has nothing to do, why don't you teach your husband to ride a horse?" ”

"No, don't you" Ning Xi lied that he couldn't ride a horse in order to be lazy before, and now it's a big night, what's the trouble?

He Shiyan looked at her eyes seriously, "My horse, except for you, no one else has a chance to ride."

He talked about this, and Ning Xi couldn't understand it anymore.

Just as she was in a trance, He Shiyan's waist below moved lightly and turned her upside down.

Suddenly, Ning Xi's face turned blushing, and he stretched out his hand and punched him, "Do others know that you are such a champion?!" ”

He Shiyan looked at his wife's shy and embarrassed appearance, his eyes were hot for a while, and he couldn't help but remind her, "Hold it up." ”

Ning Xi didn't want to be as quick as he wanted, so he said, "Why don't you change the day?" ”

He Shiyan grabbed her waist, "I can't sleep." ”

"Besides, if you take the top prize for your husband, won't Xi Niang give you a little reward?"

Ning Xi snorted lightly and pulled out a hairband to cover his eyes, "If you want to ride a horse, you can blindfold your eyes." ”

He Shiyan's eyes were covered, but his other senses were magnified at this moment.

I felt that my wife was softer and more fragrant, and my heartbeat was faster.

He Shiyan couldn't see her, so he stretched out his hand and took her hand and put it on his chest.

Ning Xi leaned down and listened close to his chest, "Why is Brother Shi Yan's heartbeat so loud?" ”

"Ahem, you're calling me again?" He Shiyan's voice was a little hoarse.

"Call what?" Ning Xi asked knowingly, but he still leaned into his ear and said softly, "Brother Shi Yan."

He Shiyan felt that the roots of his ears were soft and numb, and he couldn't help but hold her waist and help her use a little harder.

……

Ning Xi didn't know when she fell asleep in a daze, in short, there was a tireless man by her side, so she could only be tired until she fell asleep.

When he woke up at dawn, he opened his arms and swept around him that there was no one around.

When she washed up, she saw He Shiyan cooking breakfast by himself.

After the two of them stayed in Beizhuang for two days and returned to the imperial city, after participating in the Qionglin banquet, if there was no accident, He Shiyan would have a three-month vacation, and then join the Hanlin Academy.

On the day of the Qionglin banquet, in addition to the new science and technology scholars, the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty will also be invited to the palace to participate in this grand event.

The banquet was held in the evening, and during the day, the new Jinshi entered the palace, changed into the Jinshi crown prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and set off from the palace, walked around the capital and returned to the palace.

This parade is the most face-raising moment for the new science and technology jinshi.

At this time, the people of the capital will gather on the street, and the teahouses and taverns on both sides of the street are overcrowded, especially on the second floor, and it is difficult to book a place if you have money.

Ning Xi expected that He Shiyan would be in high school, so he booked a window seat on the second floor of the largest teahouse in the capital early.

A cup of tea, a few plates of snacks, she looked out while drinking tea, waiting for He Shiyan and them to ride out of the palace gate.

He Shiyan was in the palace, after experiencing the roll call like other new Jinshi, wearing the crown of champions and riding out on horseback, only the first-class jinshi in the palace test had the qualification to ride a horse, and the other jinshi could only follow on foot.

He Shiyan rode out of the palace gate and saw the people standing on both sides of the street, and the cheers were endless.

When passing by the second-story building on the side of the road, there was always a girl who threw down the sachet and handkerchief, but he didn't answer any of them until he saw his wife standing against the window on the second floor of the teahouse.

When he saw Ning Xi, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips.

He smiled, and the other onlookers couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ahh The champion is so handsome, I don't know if the marriage is matched."

"Don't be stupid, Renzhuanglang has already gotten married, where do you still have a chance?"

"I can be a concubine!"

“……”

Ning Xi listened to the words of those girls, looked downstairs, and met He Shiyan's eyes.

Suddenly I felt that he was particularly handsome today.

The spring breeze is proud, and they can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day, this is the most beautiful time for them to be a new science and technology jinshi.

Before the Qionglin night banquet begins, the imperial court will first take up the post of the new science and technology jinshi.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu walked over with the holy decree and read it, Ning Xi saw He Shiyan in the crowd with the little white cat through the light screen, and also heard the holy decree read by the Ministry of Rites.

"I hereby appoint, the champion of the palace examination, He Shiyan, and Ren Hanlin revised"

Ning Xi blinked, and sure enough, the first rank of the palace test all entered the Hanlin Academy, and the other second-class jinshi were assigned to the sixth department or other departments.

Jinshi other than the second class are appointed by the ministry and are most likely assigned to local posts.

At the end of the conferment of officials, more than 200 jinshi and officials from the DPRK and China sat down together, and hundreds of tables were set up, and the scene was very spectacular.

Ning Xi saw He Shiyan sitting in front, and she also saw Wang Zuo, the prime minister among the hundred officials.

There are many people who walk around and toast each other during the banquet, and every year the new champion can't escape the end of being overturned.

Ning Xi was preparing to learn about the wine soup at home, and He Shiyan waited for the banquet to end, and then rushed home as quickly as possible.

"Ciel, I'm back." He pushed open the courtyard door.

Ning Xi didn't see him eat anything on the light screen, so he asked, "Are you hungry?" Drink the soup and eat some more? ”

"Not hungry." He Shiyan walked over and hugged her, "Give me a hug for a while." ”

Ning Xi looked at his drunken eyes and knew that he was drunk.

finally coaxed him to take a bath, drank sobering soup and fell asleep on the bed, Ning Xi was so tired that he didn't bother to move his fingers.

Fortunately, they were able to spend the next three months easily and then worry about going to work.

He Shiyan was woken up by incense in the morning, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his wife's face.

His cheeks were pressed against her long hair, and his face was a little itchy when he moved.

He Shiyan lifted the corner of the quilt, the clothes of the two were still intact, and he was worried that he would be drunk and crazy and did something bad to his wife, which would be relieved.

Ning Xi was half asleep and half awake, her face was itchy, and when she opened her eyes, she saw He Shiyan picking up a handful of hair and sweeping her face.

She nudged the man next to her, "Don't make a fuss. ”

He Shiyan grabbed her hand and brought it down, "Xi'er has wronged her husband, this is really troublesome, right?" ”
