At the end of summer, the scenery in the courtyard of Yuzhenguan is beautiful.

It is rare for the garden in Guanzhong to have a small pond, and it is even more rare that there are lotus flowers planted on the pond, which are in full bloom.

Today, Xue Bai did not see Li Tengkong.

He came seriously for the drama, and Li Jilan came directly from the front hall to see him.

The wind blew across the surface of the pool, bringing the fragrance of lotus flowers, Xue Bai stood on the edge of the pool and watched the two-fold drama, nodding again and again.

"Ji Lanzi returned to Chang'an for a short time, and he actually wrote two folds."

"Hmm."

Xue Bai noticed that Li Jilan's voice was different, and when he looked at her, he saw that she was tilting her head and her eyes were red.

"What's wrong?"

Li Jilan was still enduring it, but when she was asked like this, tears swirled in her eyes, and then flowed down like raindrops.

She's quite capable of crying.

The more she cried there, the more sad she became, hiding behind a tree and not letting Xue Bai come to see her.

Mr. Jiao smiled...... Woo woo......" Li Jilan sobbed and said, "Master Fang Cai asked me if I would like to be a concubine in Baisun Courtyard......"

"King Guangping? Did he force you? ”

"But I'm not the kind of woman who loves vanity and frivolity, grandpa thinks I've been frivolous since I was a child...... Everybody thinks I'm frivolous...... Whining...... Why did I fall in love with him? I don't know who it is...... After all, he is also from a wealthy family, who wants to be a concubine in Baisun Courtyard...... I think the female crown is easy to bully, and it is shameless to ......"

The more he said the latter, the more vague he became.

After waiting for a while, she gradually calmed down, turned around, and asked worriedly: "Sir, if he keeps pestering, how can I marry someone if I have a bad reputation?" ”

"Huh?"

Xue Bai was stunned.

She is clearly a female Taoist priest, but she is full of just want to get married?

Li Jilan looked at Xue Bai with a pair of watery eyes, and when she saw him so surprised, she blushed and turned around.

"With the king of Guangping as a person, he will not be entangled, you can rest assured."

"Hmm." Li Jilan said in a low voice: "Sir, you ...... He was bleeding. ”

Xue Bai raised his hand and wiped it, knowing that he had drunk too much ginseng soup recently.

Thinking of the "shameless" she just said, he couldn't help but secretly say that there are too many rights and wrongs in this Taoist view, and it is better to come less in the future.

~~

Today, I was going to see the Du family sisters, but after leaving the Jade True Temple, Xue Bai thought of Li Li's matter, but he drove his horse to Mrs. Qiu's mansion.

Yang Yuyao was playing polo in her backyard, and when she heard that he was coming, she was quite surprised, and she came out without changing her clothes.

She has never used powder, plain face, usually likes to dress up as a man, today she wears a round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, her hair is wrapped, and she is glamorous and sassy.

Xue Bai rarely saw her like this, so he couldn't help but look at her twice.

"What are you looking at?"

"Your robe is even more beautiful."

"You don't know me at all." Yang Yuyao glanced at him with disgust, "Chang'an people are used to making rumors about me, do you know that when I was in Sichuan and Shu, people called me 'male fox'?" ”

"Fight?"

"Okay, I won't lose to you on the polo field."

……

After playing polo and sweating, the two bathed together, and Yang Yuyao became more and more happy.

"It's not that the annual exam is approaching, but today you have the leisure to run to play polo, you must have something to ask me again."

"It's better to ask for it, than to discuss." Xue Bai asked, "King Guangping wants me to marry the county lord of Hezheng, what does Yu Yao think?" ”

"Nope."

The smile on Yang Yuyao's face froze for a moment.

She was going to get angry, which she had expected.

If Xue Bai didn't want to offend Li Jiao, he shouldn't have told her about it. After all, if you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, the grandiose grandson comes to show goodwill, and it is enough to refuse politely, how can there be any reason to sue the other party?

Obviously, Yang Yuhuan didn't tell her sister about this.

Xue Baibian said, and said: "I have already refused this matter, but King Guangping has some posture of not giving up, so he asked Zhang Liangdi to go to the palace to say it." ”

"If this matter is let the county lord of Hezheng go to the palace to talk about it, it will be troublesome." Yang Yuyao groaned: "King Guangping is the son-in-law of the eldest sister, I ask the eldest sister to come forward and warn him not to make trouble." ”

"I didn't know that he had this relationship with the Yang family."

"Caiping has been married for more than two years and has given birth to two sons."

"Really?" Xue Bai was a little puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

"When I met King Guangping today, he was trying to take a concubine from Yuzhenguan."

Yang Yuyao was still suppressing her anger, but when she heard this again, her jade face suddenly frosted.

~~

Hyaksun-in.

Early in the morning, Li Li came to Cui Caiping's house.

The youngest son was still crying, and the palace people couldn't coax it, Cui Caiping was sitting there with an unhappy face and losing his temper.

"Who made the princess angry again?"

"What? Think I'm bad-tempered? No matter how big the temper of the woman with the fifth surname is, it is no bigger than the princess of your Li family. ”

Cui Caiping is indeed a little uncomfortable sometimes.

The five surnamed Wang clans privately even looked down on the royal family, thinking that they were pretending to be the Li clan of Longxi. There are few talented people in the world who don't want to marry a princess and want to marry a woman with five surnames.

And she is the daughter of the Boling Cui family, and her mother is Mrs. Korea, and she is the most noble among the five surnamed women. When she was in time, she admired her famous and handsome people like carp crossing the river.

As a result, he was given a marriage to a royal grandson, and he nested in this hundred grandsons all day long, in addition to giving birth to a son is to raise a son, how can he be happy?

But at this time, she only complained once, and she herself knew that there was a give-and-take, and this marriage was for the future.

Now although her mother's family is powerful, she is still willing to share weal and woe with him as a wife, have children and raise children, and when he ascends the throne as emperor, she will be the queen and her son will be the prince.

No amount of effort is worth it.

"Okay, I didn't get angry with you." Cui Caiping softened his tone a little and said, "Why did Lang Jun come over today?" ”

Li Jiao said: "I heard the palace people say, your aunt is going to enter the palace to see the saint today?" ”

"Hmm." Cui Caiping said: "The sage invited my aunt to enjoy the song together." ”

"Then can you take Sanniang with you? Then please ask your aunt to help ask the saint to give marriage. ”

"Still not dead?" Cui Caiping couldn't help but pout.

"This matter is quite important to the East Palace." Li Li said in a low voice.

"Okay, nurse, you go and talk to A-Niang, okay?"

"Whoa."

Cui Caiping's nurse answered, turned to leave, but rolled her eyes when she turned her back to the emperor's grandson.

~~

Li Jiao persuaded his wife and immediately called someone to bring Li Yuesu over.

The brother and sister said something heart-to-heart in the hall.

"In the Zongsheng Palace, you have also seen Xue Bai, what do you think?"

"I don't care." Li Yuesu said: "The little sister knows that she can't be the master of her own marriage, but if she looks at it carefully, it will cause trouble." It's all up to Grandpa and Brother to arrange. ”

Li Li smiled and said: "Of course, your mind is also very important, if you don't like it, this matter will be stopped." ”

Li Yuesu's heart warmed, looked at her brother, and said, "With the words of my brother, it is enough, my little sister is willing to marry." ”

"That's good." Li Jiao said: "I have confidence in my vision, Xue Bai is not only talented and good-looking, but also interesting, you will not regret it." I'm not just thinking about the future of the East Palace. Look at those gentlemen next to you, it's simply unseemly. ”

"Yes."

Li Yuesu knew that this was all true.

Princess Datang has never been difficult to marry, and now Xue Baigang is famous and easy to arrange, and when he becomes a jinshi in the future, he is even more reluctant to marry her.

"When you get to the saint, just say that you are willing to marry, and ask the saint to give you a marriage, okay?"

"Thank you Brother for your trouble."

Seeing that her sister was so obedient, Li Li nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother, can the little sister go and see the Shen family?" Li Yuesu asked.

Li Li was stunned and said, "Okay, it's been too long, wait for Mrs. Han to lead you into the palace." ”

Li Yuesu wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, got up and walked to the side courtyard.

"Auntie."

"Lang, where is your aunt?"

"Ah Niang is in the house, and Yu Lang is going to help her out."

Li Yuesu looked at it, and saw five-year-old Li Shi turn around and run back to the house, helping his biological mother Shen Pearl to come out.

Seeing the ceremony, Shen Pearl said softly: "Yu Lang, you go to study, and I will talk to the county lord." ”

"Okay, A-Niang."

Li Yuesu hurriedly asked Shen Pearl not to be polite, and said in a low voice: "Brother is good at everything, but I don't want to fight for you a name." ”

"Lang Jun is busy, he should have forgotten."

Shen Pearl entered the palace as a daughter from a good family and gave birth to her eldest son, so she should be able to get a title, but now she is still just a concubine.

Li Yuesu was a little overwhelmed by this, and sighed: "Brother is good at everything, but he always forgets you, and he forgets this, and he forgets that." I'm here today to ask you what's going on? ”

"Lang Jun treats me very well, and Lang Lang is also filial, and there is no difficulty."

Shen Pearl recalled Li Li's affection for her back then, and thought to herself, he has difficulties now, and he will be good to himself in the future......

~~

Li Jiao sat alone in the study for a long time, put down the scroll in his hand, and wondered if Mrs. Han had not sent someone to invite Li Yuesu to enter the palace together.

Suddenly, Cheng Yuanzhen hurriedly bumped in.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Han has been in the palace for a while......"

"Huh?"

Li Jiao was a little surprised and asked, "Without Sanniang, can she ask the saint for marriage?" ”

"It's someone from the palace......

Before Cheng Yuanzhen's words fell, several eunuchs in red robes walked to the bottom of the corridor.

"King of Guangping, receive the sage's oral message!"

"My grandson is here!"

Li Jiao hurriedly tidied up his clothes and took the order.

"The saint said, 'What a cub, I ordered you to be grounded, and I dared to jump up and down, and I would be grounded for another year, and this time I would not want to go anywhere, recuperate at home, and be kind to my wife.'"

After reciting the oracle in a subtle tone, the eunuch said, "King Guangping, it's rude." ”

Li Li was stunned.

Then the eunuch stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and patted him lightly on the face.

This one is not heavy, and it doesn't hurt at all.

But it turned out to be a slap in the face of the saints.

"'Hugh when you can hide that little bit of your mind!' This is the last word. ”

After the vicious words, the eunuch in front of him smiled and turned to leave.

Li Li was stunned, and hurriedly motioned for Cheng Yuanzhen to catch up and ask, no matter how much benefit he stuffed, he would ask things clearly.

……

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid asked."

"Why is this happening?"

Cheng Yuanzhen hesitated and said in a low voice: "It's after Mrs. Han enters the palace......"

"Say."

Cheng Yuanzhen actually felt that it was not good to say this, and it ruined the relationship between King Guangping and the princess.

But he still said it, and said: "Mrs. Han sued the king, saying that the king snubbed the princess. ”

"I snubbed her?" Li Li was surprised and blurted out, "How jealous she is, you know?" ”

As soon as the word "jealous" came out, Cheng Yuanzhen was frightened and hurriedly said: "The king is cautious." ”

Li Jiao closed his eyes and let out a long breath to calm his anger.

Everyone said that he doted on Choi and couldn't let people see jokes.

"Do you know why Mrs. Han wants to sue? Could it be Ji Lanzi? How did she find out? ”

Cheng Yuanzhen was shocked and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are guilty, but the slave and maid have nothing to leak in this matter." ”

"I understand." Li Jiao patted Cheng Yuanzhen on the back and said, "You are the person I trust the most, how can anyone not believe you?" Now that I'm grounded, you can help me check. ”

"Whoa."

Cheng Yuanzhen was greatly moved, and hurriedly walked out.

He knew that his fate in this life was pressed on King Guangping, and when King Guangping soared into the sky, he would naturally be able to take him to heaven.

~~

The whole thing is not difficult to investigate, and after asking a few slaves and maids of the Cui family, Cheng Yuanzhen already knows the ins and outs of the matter.

"Before Mrs. Han entered the palace, she met Mrs. Qiuguo."

"Huh?"

Li Jiao thought of seeing Xue Bai in front of Yuzhen Temple again, and immediately understood.

"Xue Bai? He doesn't want to marry Sanniang, it's just that I have good intentions, why did he harm me in turn? ”

"The king treats people sincerely, but Xue Bai should regard Ji Lanzi as a forbidden person, so he dares to be so rude and presumptuous."

"Him?"

Li Li was a little surprised.

A white body and the king of the county compete for women, he has never thought of such a thing.

I felt a little numb on my face.

The gentle slap he received seemed to have entered his heart.

No matter what, this time he stretched out his smiling face to win over Xue Bai, but he was slapped instead.

~~

"Smack."

Before dawn, Du Goro got up with a yawn and gave himself a slap to sober himself up.

Today is the annual examination of the Guozijian, and only those who have passed the annual examination are eligible to participate in the imperial examination. It is equivalent to the state and county tribute test, but of course it is much easier than the tribute test.

Someone lit a candle in the room, and he was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that today was not in the Xue Mansion guest room, but in the Guozijian Mansion.

Xue Bai has also gotten up, looking energetic.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Du Wulang asked with a yawn.

"It's finally time for this day."

"Yes, yes, the annual exam, the spring festival, the entry, in fact, there is nothing good about entering the office, you see that my grandfather is tired, and it is annoying to go to see things every day."

"If you have ambition, you won't get tired."

Du Wulang was a little worried, and said, "You haven't come to Guozijian for so many days in Zhongnanshan, can you live?" ”

"Don't say stupid things."

The two packed up, pushed the door out, and went all the way to the Taixue Museum, where they met Dr. Zheng Qian and Siye Su Yuanming...... The priest of the country, Wei Shu, sat at the top, wearing a purple robe and a long white beard.

The students were very nervous.

Du Wulang is actually nervous, but he can keep telling himself in his heart that these are all New Year's friends.

He was studying the scriptures, and he was not with Xue Bai, but he saw Yang Xuan.

"Hey, you're also trying? Will you also take the exam next year? ”

Du Wulang was greatly surprised, and he thought that Yang Xuan would study in Guozijian for another twenty years.

"Or else?" Yang Xuan rubbed his eyes, "Du fools can take the test, can't I?" ”

"Huh?"

Du Wulang has also read books for many years, and was called a fool by Yang Xuan, and he was speechless for a while, but he could still hold back and asked, "You also take the Ming Sutra?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to be admitted to the Jinshi, but my grandfather said that it was too eye-catching."

Du Wulang asked: "After a while, how many can you do?" ”

"Your grandfather is a member of the household department?"

"Yes."

"Haha." Yang Xuan clapped his hands and laughed, "My grandfather has been promoted to Duzhilang, and he is wearing a red robe." ”

"Ugh."

Du Wulang heard Xue Bai say that Yang Zhao, as Yang Chen's cousin, is a rare person in the Yang Party who gets along well with all forces, and his promotion will inevitably be very fast.

Although Xue Bai is friendly with Mrs. Qiu, there are three Mrs. Guo of the Yang family, and Yang Zhao never forgets to make a point, and even the Du family and the Xue family receive his gifts during the New Year's holidays.

Du Wulang's inkstone, saddle, silver bowl, etc., were all given by Yang Zhao, not expensive, but the metaphor of the gift is very good, the wonderful pen is full of flowers, advancing by leaps and bounds, and there are more than enough every year.

The Ming Jing examination is also divided into three sessions, the scripture, the oral examination, and the current affairs.

Du Wulang still sat behind Yang Xuan, and the exam started in a while.

He looked at it, but saw that "Lao Tzu" had a lot of exams, and sure enough, it was different when the sage went to Zhongnan Mountain, Xue Bai had told him.

"What does it mean to be flattered? Pampered for the bottom. If you are surprised, if you are surprised, you are surprised, it is said that you are ...... humiliated."

Du Wulang only felt so strange, it was obviously a sentence that he had memorized, and he couldn't remember how to use it.

He looked up and saw Zheng Qian sitting there with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a team of officials strode in and said, "Dr. Taixue Zheng Qian privately wrote the history of the country, let's go to the Criminal Department." ”

Du Wulang opened his mouth in surprise, a little surprised by this unheard of crime.

"Private ...... Privately writing a history of the country? ”

~~

Xue Bai's first scene was also a scripture, at this time he was writing a beautiful Yan Kai with a pen, when he heard the movement, he turned his head and saw that it was Zheng Qian who was taken out.

"What's wrong?"

Su Yuanming ran out and said in a panic: "This is the Guozi Prison, the Order of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Just because it is the order of the Son of Heaven, how can you allow people who write the history of the country privately to mislead all beings?!"

At this time, there was already a big mess in the prison.

Dr. Taixue was suddenly taken away by the Criminal Department, and many students who were taking the annual examination got up one after another, some shouted to stop, and some secretly copied the scriptures of others.

"Why did you take our doctor?!"

Some students came out of the Ming Jing Examination Hall and stopped those officials, and the leader was Du Wulang.

What is surprising is that Yang Xuan did not copy the question, but followed everyone to stop Zheng Qian, pointed to the nose of an official, and said, "Do you know who my grandfather is?" ”

Xue Bai put down the brush and got up.

He didn't know if it had anything to do with him, but he thought of the dream a few days ago, when many people pushed boulders and collided.

It seems that the boulder has been pushed, but I didn't expect that the first one to be knocked down was Zheng Qian.

It happened suddenly, and he went over while thinking about the cause of the whole thing.

"Get out of the way, we are acting on orders, and the evidence is conclusive......"

"Doctor Taixue, you dare to take it?!"

"Listen to me, in the twenty-fifth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Zheng Qian served as the assistant lawyer, collected the cases of the year, wrote more than 80 articles criticizing current affairs, and privately wrote the history of the country......"

When Xue Bai heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Su Yuanming.

I saw that Su Yuanming's face changed in an instant, and his eyes showed a look of horror...... I am afraid that this matter is true, and the Criminal Department did not wronged Zheng Qian.

Thinking of what can be called a private history of the country in the "twenty-fifth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty", Xue Bai can almost be sure that this matter is related to the Sanshuren case.

Was it caused by Princess Tang Chang and Li Cong meeting him in private? Or was it caused by the face-to-face with Li Jiao this time?

"All the people in the country will sit back for the old man!"

Suddenly, an old shout sounded, and everyone turned their heads to look, and an old man in a purple robe was still sitting there standing still, it was Wei Shu, the priest of the country.

It's late again, forgive me~~ I also wrote 10,000 words today~~ I asked for a ticket at the beginning of the month, and I implore you to vote for me if you still have a monthly pass in your hand, ask for a monthly pass~~
