Inside the palace, Xiangcheng was asking for Changle's opinion.

Changle, who has been locked up for a few months, does seem to be much quieter on the surface, and even looks a little stuffy at first glance, but the light in his eyes is still there, although it is well hidden.

Hearing Xiangcheng's suggestion, the corners of Changle's mouth curved slightly, and he took Xiangcheng's hand and asked in a low voice, "Sister, did he come up with this idea specifically for me?" ”

Yes?

Xiangcheng smiled bitterly: "No, it's Miss Cui who wants to participate in the scientific examination and asks for your brother-in-law." It occurred to me that you were locked up, perhaps a chance to come out. ”

Xiao Changle was disappointed for a while after listening.

Xiangcheng sighed: "Little sister, either or you give up." It's not my sister and I won't help you, I also want you to marry him, but he really doesn't seem to be ......."

Xiao Changle smiled, interrupted Xiangcheng's persuasion, and asked instead: "Sister, you said that if I also participate in the imperial examination, can I be on the list?" Can you beat that Miss Cui family? I really want to meet this future sister-in-law, she is so bold, and a woman's admission to the imperial examination is simply a precedent for ancient and modern times. ”

Xiangcheng was pleasantly surprised: "So, are you willing to participate?" ”

Xiao Changle nodded again and again, but after thinking about it, he said dejectedly: "Father and mother are afraid that they will not agree, so they want to lock me up, and then look for aristocratic men of appropriate age to go on a blind date one by one." ”

Xiangcheng smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'll go to ask the queen mother, if the queen mother comes forward, my father will agree." It's not a big deal, just don't get dismantled by women's clothes. Why can the young lady of the Cui family go, but the daughter of our Li family can't go? This is your sister, I think I don't have enough knowledge, otherwise I would like to compare with her. ”

"In our group of sisters, your intelligence is first-class, if you play, maybe you can come back with a champion, and then you will be famous in history."

Champion?

Xiao Changle covered his mouth and smiled: "It's not in accordance with the rules for me to participate, if I grab the champion again, it will really be a disturbance, and my father will definitely not spare me." ”

Xiangcheng went to find the queen first, in fact, the queen already doted on her daughter, and she didn't plan to tie Changle all the time, and she was even happy to see that Changle liked Xiao Rui, so she easily agreed. It's just that the queen is not optimistic about this matter, and it is too ridiculous for a woman to enter the imperial examination.

Xiangcheng didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only go to the emperor under the banner of Xiao Rui, after all, in front of the emperor, Xiao Rui didn't abide by any rules at all.

After listening to Xiangcheng's explanation, Li Er was suspicious: "Are you sure this is not that kid's ghost idea?" Is it really the Cui family who took the initiative to ask for it? ”

Xiangcheng said with a smile: "Father, where does a daughter dare to deceive her father?" Husband, he was embarrassed to come over, but the stakes were very high, so he naturally came to report to his father. Without your father's consent, who would dare to act against Ke? ”

Li Er nodded, "What did that kid say?" ”

The husband said that if it was a woman participating in the imperial examination, it would be impossible. But if it's just Miss Cui's alone, it's better to let her dress as a man and change her name and surname to participate. It's time to satisfy the little girl's curiosity, after all, she is the future daughter-in-law of the Li family. Moreover, since the Cui family dared to tell this matter, it showed that they were very confident in this daughter, so it was better to push the boat down the river and try this woman's intelligence. Xiangcheng explained clearly.

Li Er groaned: "In this way, it's not a big deal, at most it's a child's nonsense." ”

Xiangcheng happily saluted and thanked him, "So, father, you agreed?" The daughter Daifu Jun thanked her father. In this case, the daughter retired. ”

Wait a minute!

Li Er stopped her, Xiangcheng thought that something had changed, but he didn't think that Li Er was not embarrassed, but said gently: "It's rare for you to come back, why are you in a hurry to go back?" Stay at home for one night, have a family dinner with your queen mother tonight, and go back tomorrow. ”

In the evening, at the family banquet in the Lizheng Palace, Xiao Changle and Prince Chengqian were there, and Xiangcheng took the opportunity to mention the matter of Miss Cui's family.

Li Chengqian was pleasantly surprised: "So, Ning'er is coming to Chang'an?" ”

Xiangcheng quipped: "Yo, the title has changed, it turns out that I remember calling Sister Ning'er." It seems that in the past two years, there has been no shortage of letters in private. ”

Li Chengqian blushed shyly, "Ahem, eldest sister, don't make fun of me, I'm so old, half a head taller than her, call her sister again?" Where to call the exit. ”

Xiangcheng teased: "Really? Call it sister or not, doesn't it depend on age? When is it time to look at height? So, I'm not as tall as you, what are you going to call me? ”

Yes?

Ahem, how can this be the same?

The crowd burst out laughing.

At this time, Xiao Changle took the initiative to speak: "Father, emperor, mother, since the future sister-in-law can participate in the imperial examination, then my daughter also wants to try, I heard that this future sister-in-law is known as the daughter Zhuge of the Cui family, I want to compare with her." ”

Oh?

Li Er was interested, if it was before, he would definitely not agree, and his first reaction was that this daughter was going to be a demon. But in the past few months, her daughter seems to have returned to her previous quiet and well-behaved, and Li Er has relaxed her vigilance.

Besides, the timing and reasons proposed by Changle are just right, since the daughters of the Cui family can participate in disguised as men, why can't my daughter of the Li family?

The queen said, "Erlang, why don't you let Changle try." Women participate in the imperial examination, since you dare to agree to the daughter of the Cui family to participate, then this matter will definitely not be hidden in the future, and the consequences of spreading it will not be ignored for the time being, but this kind of precedent-setting event must have a stroke in the history books. Let Changle try it, it doesn't matter if it's on the list or not, the main thing is that the opportunity is rare. ”

Li Er's eyes lit up, yes, how could he let this opportunity to leave his name completely give up to the Cui family?

Without waiting for him to nod, Li Chengqian joked with a smile: "Little sister, are you sure you want to compare with Ning'er?" Don't be able to compare when the time comes, someone will cry their noses. I don't know who to coax as a brother. ”

Xiao Changle grimaced, and raised his chin unconvinced, "Hmph, I still care about your fiancée." Although she is from a famous family, I am not bad, my teacher is...... But ......"

"Oops, I can't afford to lose! Big brother, you might as well worry about yourself, if my sister-in-law wins in the future, it's nothing, but if she wins the champion, are you sure that your talent will beat her? Hehe, that's past the door, tsk...... It's fun. ”

You......

Li Chengqian was choked a lot, although he was also from a famous family, but when it came to qualifications and talents, Li Chengqian really didn't know the bottom of his heart, he had seen Sister Ning'er's ability, and he was completely suppressed by her back then.

But as a man, how can he be sluggish? Let your fiancée press on her head?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said: "Father, the child asks for his life and participates in next year's scientific examination under a pseudonym." ”

Oh?

Li Er stroked his beard and smiled: "You have thought about it, you are the prince and prince, and you are not taking the way of being an official." When it comes to literary talent and martial arts, it may not be the strongest, it really didn't make the list, can you accept it? ”

Li Chengqian said seriously: "Erchen has thought about it, he has sharpened a sword for ten years, and the blade has never been tried!" After studying for many years, if you don't dare to show it to people, it will be a real shame. ”

Li Er laughed and said, "Okay! In that case, go for it. Tomorrow with your eldest sister, I will go to your brother-in-law. Anyway, he wants to help the Cui family's daughter get a fake identity, and by the way, he will also handle the fake identity of you and Changle. ”

Li Chengqian's heart was overjoyed, and he secretly said that his father was witty, so he could communicate with his brother-in-law, who made the question, maybe......

Xiao Changle's mouth opened, feeling the majestic gaze of his father, but he still couldn't help but speak. In fact, she also wanted to go to Xiaojiazhuang.
