Chapter 739: Autumn is coming
"I got up too early today, and there are many etiquettes, I must have not eaten enough, right?"
Dongfang Huize's fingers are slender, the bones are distinct, and the movements are elegantly placed on small porcelain plates, which is pleasing to the eye.
Princess Wantao admired his movements like this, the corners of her mouth curled, but she was embarrassed to move her chopsticks.
The bride is greedy, and she will make people laugh when she says it.
Dongfang Huize couldn't see her careful thoughts, picked up the chopsticks himself, sandwiched a piece of white osmanthus cake, and sent it to her mouth.
Princess Wantao was not a restrained person, so she smiled, opened her mouth and smiled, and her eyes narrowed happily.
"Osmanthus blooms in August, it is a good time to eat osmanthus cake, fragrant and delicious, sweet but not greasy. Huize, you can also taste it. ”
Wan Tao blurted out, only to realize that she had called him by his name. And they have not yet visited the church. I can't help but look away, and I don't squint.
Dongfang Huize only felt that her voice was pleasant. Seeing that she liked this osmanthus cake, she also tasted a piece of it and praised:
"Sure enough, my lips and teeth are fragrant."
He raised his eyes to look at Princess Wantao's side face, and said in his heart that the sweetness of today's osmanthus cake would probably be remembered in his heart for a lifetime.
The two of them ate and drank, talked and laughed all the way, not like a welcoming team, but like going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, relaxed and happy.
And the officials of Yunxiao Country, Zhang Luo Wantao's wedding ceremony, are already paying attention to another big matter.
That's the autumn festival every three years.
It was the day after Princess Wantao's marriage that the first exam began on the ninth day of the eighth month.
Not only the champions, lists, and flowers of the coming year will be produced from the people of this Qiuqiu High School.
Among these students, a large number of them will also enter the officialdom. Therefore, every three years, officialdom will change a batch of fresh blood.
And which courtier can win over more new Confucian scholars is related to whether his position in the officialdom is stable in the future.
Naturally, the courtiers paid special attention to the imperial examinations, and even more, tried to find ways to open the way for the children of their own families.
Naturally, the incompetent and furious King Su was once again left behind by the ministers, and no one mentioned it.
If a prisoner can't run away, what can he do if the trial is a few days late?
As for the Southern Flame Country, with Chu Wenzhong in charge, the ministers were inexplicably relieved, and they seemed to have decided that there would be no big mess in the Southern Flame Country.
The top priority is whether the person you fancy can stand out in this autumn season and add another boost to your own power.
Inside the Fanghua Palace.
Chu Yunxi was reclining on the Luohan couch to read a book, Xiaolian came to her side, gently beat her legs, and raised her eyes to look at Chu Yunxi from time to time.
Finally saw Chu Yunxi look over, and hurriedly asked flatteringly:
"Queen Mother, are the slaves and maids comfortable?"
Chu Yunxi put down the book, supported his head with his hands, and looked at Xiaolian.
"Comfort is comfort, but nothing to do......
Now these things of beating legs and pinching the back, where can I still use Xiaolian, the aunt in charge, and I have my own little palace maid to do it.
It seems that Xiaolian has a request for her today.
Xiaolian didn't expect her careful thoughts, and she was seen through by Chu Yunxi at a glance, and blinked a little nervously.
"Queen Mother, isn't it natural for slaves to serve you."
Chu Yunxi's face does not change color:
"Well, Xiaolian has a point. Since you don't have anything important, I'm going to get some sleep, and I'm really tired today. ”
As she spoke, she closed her eyes, and it looked like she was really going to sleep. Xiaolian was in a hurry, and she couldn't hide her thoughts.
"Queen Mother, the slave maid wants to ask you for a favor, and the slave maid will leave the palace tomorrow to see the excitement."
Only then did Chu Yunxi open his eyes again and looked at Xiaolian with a smile.
"Who's going to see the excitement?"
Look, look at whom? Xiaolian's heart was beating faster, and she hurriedly explained:
"Slave maid, slave maid wants to see the liveliness of Qiuqiu. The queen's mother, the imperial examination is only held once in three years, and if you miss this time, you will have to wait for another three years. The slave maid wants to see what the scene is in the autumn season. ”
Xiaolian's little caution was written on her face, but Chu Yunxi pretended not to know:
"When the second brother participated in the imperial examination, didn't you see it all? Even if there is excitement, it will be lively when the list is announced, and tomorrow it will just send candidates into the examination room, but there is nothing to see. ”
Xiaolian simply squatted in front of Chu Yunxi and raised her eyes to look at her pitifully.
"Queen Mother~, please, just let the slave go out to relax."
Chu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh when he saw her eagerness.
"Then tomorrow, you can take Can'er with you, and let her see the excitement too."
Chu Yunxi said in his heart, with Can'er's little eyes, it is better to come back and tell her how Xiaolian sees the excitement.
"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother."
Xiaolian got up happily and gave Chu Yunxi another massage, until Chu Yunxi couldn't stand her enthusiasm anymore.
"Okay, okay, you can rest quickly, don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"
Xiaolian smiled and got up to leave.
"Xie Niangniang, the slave and maid are retired."
She went out with joy, and when she was distracted, she almost bumped into Jun Lingyun, who had just stepped into the hall, and was frightened.
"The emperor forgives his sins!"
Xiaolian hurriedly bowed down and retreated away from Jun Lingyun for a long time, before hurriedly exiting the hall again.
Jun Lingyun's face darkened, and he said in his heart how this little lotus is frizzy. Chu Yunxi laughed out loud.
Jun Lingyun saw the smile of his own lady, where did he still account for the frizziness of a little girl.
"Xi'er, I have something to discuss with you."
Chu Yunxi was still thinking about Xiaolian and Wen Yang, and when he heard this, he asked:
"What?"
Jun Lingyun sat beside her, took his wife into his arms first, and then said to her.
"The secret guard has found the son of King Su."
Chu Yunxi was not too surprised, and it was not surprising that King Su had a son. Since he covets the throne, he must have a successor, and his ambitions will grow wildly.
How to deal with it depends on whether the son of King Su is involved in the rebellion.
"King Su's son, how old is he?"
If you are young, you may be able to teach goodness, but if you have grown up, I am afraid that you have been deeply influenced by King Su.
Jun Lingyun didn't answer directly, but asked:
"Don't you ask first, who is the son of King Su and where is he now?"
Chu Yunxi looked at him puzzled.
"Could it be someone I know?"
Jun Lingyun nodded.
"Someone you and I know."
Chu Yunxi was startled, and a pair of beautiful eyes widened. Could it be that King Su's son has already lurked beside her and Jun Lingyun, and they don't know it?
But Chu Yunxi racked his brains, and he couldn't think of any suspicious people around him.
"Who is it?"
Jun Lingyun looked at her bright black pupils, reluctant to look away, and suddenly had a teasing heart, not wanting her to know the answer so quickly.
"How about I start at the beginning?"
Chu Yunxi nodded, Jun Lingyun had indeed aroused her curiosity.
Jun Lingyun played with her hair while talking eloquently.
