The Qionglin Banquet marked the beginning of the official career of these new scholars after passing the imperial examination and becoming officials of this dynasty.

This is almost the most important banquet in their lives.

Naturally, the emperor also attended this banquet.

After rewarding, hairpins, and thanking the table, the Qionglin banquet reached its climax.

At the end of the Qionglin banquet, he was assigned an official position.

Bai Panmei, the six-consecutive champion, was assigned to the Hanlin Academy and was awarded the Hanlin Academy for revision

Bai Panmei was not complacent, he was very sober, this was only his first step into the ranks.

Here, he will start the step of entering and exiting the phase.

Bai Panmei looked at the smiling emperor sitting on the high platform, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve two years ago, the emperor came to the Bai family, cordially calling his mother and cousin, and his father took his hand to call the emperor's cousin.

This emperor's cousin, from the palace test to the present, treats him and other Jinshi equally.

No one knew that he had an inextricable relationship with the emperor.

Following the emperor's position, he saw the eldest prince Ah Zhen sitting on the emperor's side.

This is the first time he has seen Ah Zhen in the capital for so long.

In order to avoid suspicion, the two naturally did not contact in advance.

Ah Zhen in the palace is completely different from Ah Zhen in Shenshu Village, and he has an oppressive temperament.

Ah Zhen smiled brightly at Bai Panmei across the crowd, Bai Panmei felt that Ah Zhen from Shenshu Village was back again, and raised her wine glass and smiled back.

When I meet Ah Zhen again in the future, it will be the difference between His Royal Highness and his courtiers.

Bai Panmei's heart was stunned, and she didn't know if her sister and Ah Zhen would be able to maintain the pure friendship of childhood after her sister entered Beijing.

After the Qionglin banquet, the new scholars walked out of the royal forest and were led by the palace people to walk outside the palace.

Bai Panmei was left by the emperor to ask a few questions, so she was left alone.

By the time he left the palace, the new scholars had already arrived at the palace gate.

Bai Panmei walked slowly on the palace road alone, blown by the warm wind, and her body and mind were extremely sober.

"Fourth brother."

At the corner of the palace wall, Ah Zhen called Bai Panmei.

"Your Highness." Bai Panmei bowed to Ah Zhen.

"Is the fourth brother also unfamiliar with Ah Zhen?" Ah Zhen smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated the fourth brother on the title of the gold list." ”

Bai Panmei didn't even dare to say it.

Ah Zhen has a friendship with him, that is called Corporal Lixian, he can't be unscrupulous.

He is a minister of the dynasty, and from the beginning of his career, he must be able to bear the duty of a minister.

Whether Ah Zhen understands or doesn't understand, he must treat Ah Zhen with the attitude of treating the prince, and he can't be too intimate.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Bai Panmei said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of me these days."

Bai Panmei knew that these days, although she had not met Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen sent someone to take care of herself everywhere.

Miss Fan Fu chased after him, if it weren't for Ah Zhen and the people sent by the Queen Mother to star, maybe Fan Shijie would have already attacked him.

Ah Zhen sighed invisibly.

This is between him and Bai Panmei, and they can no longer be as careless as Shenshu Village.

"I'll call you Fourth Brother today, and I'll call you Master Bai in the future." Ah Zhen turned around and said happily, "Xiao Yuanbao and they have already set off for Beijing, and they will arrive in about more than 20 days, and I am very happy to see Xiao Yuanbao immediately." ”

Bai Panmei saw that Ah Zhen had recovered her childishness at this time, and her tone was indescribably excited, and her heart softened, and she said, "Yes, my sister must also want to see you." ”

Ah Zhen's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he became happy.

The eldest prince is still a child in the end, and when he encounters happy things, he will put them on his face.

What Bai Panmei didn't know was that Ah Zhen was only like this to people he trusted.

"It's cool at night, Ah Zhen will go back for the time being." Bai Panmei's name for Ah Zhen has returned to its former past.

Ah Zhen nodded.

He also knows that there are a lot of eyeliner in the palace, and if he is not careful, he will make a fuss about him privately wooing the champion of the dynasty.

In particular, he had lived in Shenshu Village, and he lived opposite the Bai family.

If he is really caught, he will be hit hard before the fourth brother of the Bai family's career has not yet started.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then hurriedly parted.

Bai Panmei continued to walk forward, and when she came to the palace gate, she was stopped by the familiar palace people.

He remembered that this father-in-law Hong once accompanied the emperor into the door of the Bai family during the Spring Festival.

"Grandpa Hong, do you have any advice?" Bai Panmei shouted, her voice was very humble.

"Don't dare, torture the old slave." Gonggong Hong waved his hand again and again, could the Qilin'er of the sixth yuan and the first be instructed by him? He spoke for the Queen Mother.

"Bai Zhuangyuan, the Queen Mother is invited." Hong Gonggong said.

Bai Panmei knew the relationship between the Zhen family and the Queen Mother, and it was only a matter of time before she saw the Queen Mother, so she was not surprised.

"Please ask my father-in-law to lead the way." Bai Panmei said reasonably.

Gonggong Hong took Bai Panmei back, passed through the Fengyi Gate, and walked towards the Yuqing Palace where the Queen Mother was located.

Soon came to Yuqing Palace.

Yuqing Palace is very broad, and the palace is full of high begonias.

At this time, it is the season when begonias are in full bloom, and the air is filled with the fragrance of begonias.

After the palace people passed the word, Bai Panmei came to the palace and raised her head to see a kind and luxurious old woman sitting on the top, accompanied by Princess Yun'an, he knew that it was the queen mother.

Quickly kneel down and salute.

"No formality." The Queen Mother stepped down from the stage and stretched out her hand to help Bai Panmei.

"This is not a courtier's ceremony, but a family ceremony." Bai Panmei didn't get up, and gave the queen mother a family gift from the younger to the elders in accordance with the rules of the Bai family.

This is not excessive, after all, the Queen Mother is his aunt and grandmother by blood.

Bai Panmei stood up after saluting, the Queen Mother looked at him carefully, and nodded incessantly: "This good appearance is really Fu'er's child, and he can afford to be the sixth yuan and the first champion." ”

Bai Panmei said: "My mother misses you very much. ”

Immediately, the Queen Mother burst into tears, and was persuaded by Mama Chang and Princess Yun'an to stop her tears.

After the seat was given, the Queen Mother and Bai Panmei had a homely conversation.

Referring to the past experience of Zhen's mansion and the hard work of the Zhen family, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel sad again.

“…… The Queen Mother, the mother's life is not all bitter. ”

Bai Panmei told about the Bai family's life in Shenshu Village and the words that Zhen taught him.

The Queen Mother listened very carefully.

Although the people she sent had already figured out the situation of the Bai family and the life of the Zhen family over the years, it was a different experience from Bai Panmei, the person concerned.

Don't look at the Queen Mother's occasional sadness now, but she has been open-minded and comfortable since she was young, otherwise how could she help King Jing win the world.

Back then, the world said that if Princess Jing was a man, the world would be hers.

Therefore, the Queen Mother quickly withdrew from her sadness and chatted with Bai Panmei about happy things.

"By the way, fourth brother, you are now entering the official career. As the saying goes, start a family before starting a business, do you have a marriage match at home? ”

Bai Panmei no longer thought that the Queen Mother would be involved in his marriage, and the sip of tea that she drank into her mouth almost squirted out.

And Princess Yun'an, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, lowered her head.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the younger generation has never been married."
