108 Temple Examination

After An Chu Xia took the middle school entrance examination, he inexplicably received many invitations to various banquets, poetry meetings, and literary meetings.

She chose some inconsequential invitations to go through the motions, less talk and more to see, and for those who took the initiative to make friends, An Chuxia was also comfortable coping.

For the officials whose names are in the account books of the richest man in Guancheng Prefecture, and their families, An Chuxia replied politely, but in fact kept his distance.

What An Chuxia didn't expect was that on this day, a well-dressed grandmother sent her an invitation to the full moon banquet of the little county lord of the Four Emperors' Mansion.

This made An Chuxia puzzled, after she came to the capital, she has always maintained a low-key life, doing things, and has not been in contact with any powerful people.

How could you receive an invitation from the Four Emperors' Mansion.

It wasn't until she was invited into the Four Imperial Maidens' Mansion with a proper gift to meet the chubby Four Imperial Maidens that she somewhat understood why she had received the invitation.

Isn't this the fourth princess the pregnant woman she saved years ago?

The smiling eyes of the four princesses were much brighter when they looked at a pair of peach blossom eyes in early summer.

Everyone sat in the luxurious living room to participate in the current emperor's personal title of the lord of Lanyue, the lady of the full moon banquet.

When they saw An Chuxia, who was wearing a light blue brocade robe and was led in by the maidservants of the Four Emperors' Mansion, many noble ladies showed puzzled expressions.

Some of them had seen An Chuxia at the banquet during this time and recognized her as this year's Spring Huiyuan.

But no one expected that the Four Princesses would invite her to attend their daughter's full moon banquet.

The ladies saw the four princesses sitting on the main seat, and when they saw this An Huiyuan, they personally welcomed her to the place next to their head and sat down.

In front of the ladies, the four princesses showed a simple smile, and what they said was ridiculous, and they all felt that the four princesses were worthy of being the famous greedy and stupid princesses in the capital.

Even Concubine Pan Guifei, who has always been suspicious and ruthless, does not regard an adult princess like her as a stumbling block on her son's way to the top.

The fourth princess looked at An Chuxia and said, "Later, you will have to look at Bengong Yue'er a few more times, so that she can be more contaminated with your talent, and she will definitely be smarter than you when she grows up." ”

After speaking, he nodded seriously, agreeing with what he said, thinking how wise he was to do it.

The expressions of the four princesses made the noblewomen unbearable to look at them directly.

The ladies with whom they had a good relationship glanced at each other, and many of them showed some contempt in their eyes.

An Chuxia saw all these in her eyes, smiled and said to the four princesses: "Listen to the four princesses in the next place!" ”

At this time, sitting not far from the lower head, a girl with overly upright facial features, a strong skeleton, and dressed as a woman who had not been out of the pavilion, pursed her lips and showed a look of disdain.

muttered softly: "If you want to slap the sycophant, I'm afraid it's the wrong person!" ”

The lady who was next to the stout girl touched her elbow, obviously not wanting her to say this in front of so many people.

An Chuxia also heard this, but she didn't even turn her head.

Just like that, I watched a grandmother holding a red swaddling cloth from the inside, followed by four pretty maidservants, and slowly walked to the four princesses.

After saluting, the child wrapped in red brocade swaddling clothes was handed to the arms of the four princesses who reached out to pick it up.

At this time, everyone's eyes focused on the baby in the arms of the four princesses, which was the child born to the four princesses.

And the emperor not only did not blame the four princesses, but also personally gave her Lanyue as a title, and also as the name of the county lord of Lanyue.

As the first person of the next generation of the royal family, and was personally named by the current emperor, this Lanyue County Lord is very noble.

Just when everyone was curious about this child, the fourth princess said again, amazingly, "You all come forward and take a look at the little county lord."

Don't go out and say that the palace is stingy, and you didn't let you see the moon when you came to the full moon banquet. ”

All the noble ladies had expressions of crying and laughing on their faces, if she wasn't a royal daughter, who would rarely come to see the children she gave birth to.

But can they say it, of course they can't.

Let's not talk about whether the Four Imperial Daughters will be angry, I'm afraid that the first person to be angry is the current emperor who is the father of the Four Imperial Daughters.

"Oops! The mayor of Lanyue County is so cute! ”

"Yes! Yes! ”

"It's not, it's a blessing on your face!"

Everyone saw it and praised it.

As for whether the Lord of Lanyue is as they praised, it depends on whether you believe it or not.

After reading it, most of the ladies said a few words of blessing and auspiciousness, and then returned to their seats and waited for the feast to begin.

Everyone is thinking about leaving the Four Imperial Maiden's Mansion as soon as possible after the entertainment, they are afraid that if they stay for a long time, they will be infected by the stupidity of the Four Imperial Maidens.

When the ladies had almost left, An Chuxia stepped forward to see the baby in swaddling clothes.

When An Chuxia saw the white and tender, pink-carved baby, her heart was also cute.

After the little baby yawned, his watery eyes slowly opened, and An Chuxia was stunned on the spot.

Until the end of the banquet, An Chuxia was sent out of the four princesses.

Her mind was still thinking about the shock she brought to herself the moment she saw the eyes of the little county lord of Lanyue.

How can it be so similar!

An Chuxia hired a carriage and returned to the rented courtyard, and when she saw her brother An Jinchen who greeted her, something seemed to flash in her mind.

"What's wrong with you, are you drunk from the banquet, why are you dumbfounded?!"

An Jinchen thought that his sister had drunk too much, so he helped her into his room in the backyard, and brought An Chuxia a cup of tea.

It wasn't until An Chuxia's sister was settled down to rest that An Jinchen left with peace of mind, and he was really heartbroken for this sister.

An Chuxia closed her eyes and slowly cleared what she thought was impossible.

When she saw those small and bright peach blossom eyes, she was indeed shocked.

If she hadn't confirmed that she hadn't given birth to a child, she would have thought that the little county lord of Lanyue was her own child.

In addition to himself and the little county lord of Lanyue who have the same pair of peach blossom eyes, there is another person among them.

He also had eyes, almost identical to theirs.

recalled the incident that happened to my brother at Yunshui Wharf, and when I came out today, I overheard someone mention it.

The four princesses were born to the lord of Lanyue County without getting married.

Even if An Chuxia couldn't be very sure, she also took this matter to heart.

Soon after attending the full moon banquet of the Four Imperial Maidens' Mansions, the day of the palace examination was approaching.

In the early summer, a group of new and first jinshi were gathered together and learned court etiquette.

Only on April 28, he was dressed neatly and was brought into the palace for the examination by the palace historian eunuchs, and no one dared to look up along the way.

When you enter the grand hall, you will see two sides, neatly arranged tables and chairs, and a thick red carpet about two meters wide with auspicious patterns is left in the middle.

In the early summer, they were seated by a palace eunuch inside according to the ranking of the examination.

An Chuxia sat at the first table in the front row, and the palace envoy sent down the questions to be tested in the palace exam, and all the test papers and identity information were hidden.
