Inside the royal city, Shuihua Palace, in the back garden.

At this time, two palace maids, who were in the flower season, were whispering on the side of the rockery.

I saw Gong E, who was a little younger than a year, and said: "Sister Yue'er, have you heard?

The palace maid named Yue'er smiled with a smile on her face, glanced at her and replied: "Sister still needs your Nizi rap, I already know it." ”

After Yue'er finished speaking, she looked around, and then, she leaned forward mysteriously and whispered: "Sister Tang'er, sister, I still know a big secret!"

When the little palace maid of Tang'er, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old at the time, heard this, her eyes immediately widened, and her red mouth became a small circle, like a ripe cherry. Needless to say, she was already curious at the moment.

Immediately, she shook Yue'er and said coquettishly: "Good Sister Yue'er~, say it quickly, Tang'er begs you ......." ”

This Tang'er was soft-spoken for a while, and Rao is Yue'er, who is a daughter, can't resist being defeated. But Yue'er was not to be outdone, so she pretended to be a young man, but Qiubo glanced at Tang'er lightly, and then there was a burst of laughter and play....

After a while, Yue'er looked around vigilantly and said in a low voice: "For the sake of you and me, I am like sisters, my sister will tell you today, you don't want to spread the ......." ”

Seeing that Sister Yue'er was so mysterious, how could Tang'er not agree?

Seeing this, Yue'er continued: "I heard that the king intends to recruit the champion of the new department to be a concubine, but when the palace is examined, he will observe it, and he will not leave ten. ”

Tang'er suddenly heard such shocking news, and immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Oh my God~! This champion is really a blessing, our eldest princess is the fairy daughter of the country!"

After Tang'er finished speaking, she was envious. I don't know if she is envious of the eldest princess who married the eldest princess and has been rich and glorious since then, or whether the eldest princess has this good match, which makes her envious of this young girl.

But suddenly, Tang'er seemed to suddenly think of something, and shook her pink hands in surprise and exclaimed: "It's not good! It's not good! If the appearance of the champion is ugly, with the temper of our eldest princess, how can we stop?"

Hearing Tang'er say this, Yue'er glanced at her blankly, and said angrily: "Just you are smart, what kind of temperament does our eldest princess have, will the king know? Besides, the eldest princess is still a disciple of the national teacher." Hmph~ Let me tell you, when the palace test comes, the eldest princess will be behind the screen... Hee-hee..."

And at this moment, just as the two little palace ladies were talking, they thought that they were hiding on the side of the rockery and no one heard it, but it was a coincidence that the book was not written.

Suddenly, a coquettish voice came from behind him: "Bold and bold!

As soon as this voice came out, the two girls were suddenly shocked! When they heard this coquettish voice, they were so familiar, they were even more like falling into an abyss ice pool, and their faces trembled like white paper and turned around!

At this time, the two looked at the eldest princess Zhao Yingnuo in front of them with horror on their faces, beautiful and captivating, dressed in gorgeous clothes.

But the eldest princess Zhao Yingnuo showed anger on her face at this time, obviously hearing what the two said.

At this time, the eldest princess in the eyes of Tang'er and Yue'er, how can she still have the slightest sense of beauty? Seeing the eldest princess like this, the two of them suddenly felt a tremor in their strands, as if the trembling legs at this moment no longer belonged to them. Look at the eldest princess's thrush wrinkled deeply, a pair of phoenix eyes that hook people's hearts, but at this time, they are flashing with a monstrous anger of disgust!

The two of them trembled and couldn't support it anymore, threw themselves under the skirt of the eldest princess Huamero, and hurriedly explained: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the slave and maid should die, the slave and the maid should die... The slave maid is just worried about the eldest princess......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Ying interrupted: "Shut up! Dare to quibble? Come! Drag these two lowly maids who don't know how to be respectful and humble and slander their masters, and they will be killed!"

"No~. As soon as Zhao Yingnuo's words fell, there were four neat responses behind him!

Immediately, the four sturdy maids walked out together, and they didn't say much to one person on the left and right, dragging Tang'er Yue'er, who was constantly begging and struggling at the moment, walked out, and soon they heard their miserable cries begging for mercy!

But Zhao Yingnuo turned a blind eye, when the pair of phoenix eyes flashing with vicious color saw the puddle of water left behind where the two of them were kneeling. She felt a pang of disgust in her heart, and brushed her sleeve to hide her snort.

Then she rushed to the other two little palace ladies behind her, who looked nervous, and scolded in a coquettish voice: "You two, what are you still doing in a daze?

Liang Gong'e's body trembled suddenly, and hurriedly responded: "No." ”

After the order was finished, the eldest princess Zhao Yingnuo didn't look at the flustered and busy palace maid beside her, but only looked at the palace wall, deep in the Xuanxi Palace, where the palace was lined up, and suddenly felt inexplicable boredom in her heart, "I don't know how the champion look......s?" If you can't get into the eyes of this palace, hum ......!"

Following.

Ten first-class jinshi were in the palace of His Royal Highness Chongde, waiting to be summoned to the court.

At this moment, Luo Yu's forehead hair fell to both sides, wearing a moon-white scribe's robe, with a faint smile on his face, looking free and handsome. Behind him, Todd was neatly combed, and a dark robe followed closely behind.

At this time, Luo Yu looked at the towering Xuanxi Palace in front of him, which was hanging above the high platform of the imperial stairs, as majestic and solemn as the Nine Heavens Palace. Looking at the Xuanxi Imperial Stairs that reached the palace in front of him and the Xuanjia Imperial Forest Guards standing like pines on both sides, Luo Yu suddenly sighed in his heart, such a majestic and majestic Lingxiao Jiuzhong overlooking all living beings, making people can't help but look up. It's no wonder how many people have done everything for this, even if they know that moths are fighting fires, they are also happy to do ...... succession. ’

And just when Luo Yu sighed, an internal official appeared at the end of the jade steps. When he stood still and looked down at the scholars under the royal steps. Everyone suddenly looked solemn, knowing that the last moment had come, and they all held their breath and listened quietly to the announcement.

I saw that in the distance, the internal official held the dust in his hand, swayed one side lightly, and then put his hands together and raised his head sharply: "The king has a decree, Xuan ~ Xinke Yijia Jinshi goes to the palace ~~~." ”

Suddenly, the Xuanjia Imperial Forest guards on both sides of the jade steps responded in unison: "Xuan, the new first-class jinshi goes to the palace!"

"Knock~!knock~!knock~......" The sound of bells and drums sounded from all sides of the royal city!

Luo Yu's heart suddenly trembled slightly, and he was both nervous and excited and shouted to the group of Jinshi Mountain: "Thank you for my king's grace." ”

After everyone looked at the palace and thanked the mountain from afar, they lowered their heads and went up the left side of the imperial steps.

There are a total of ninety-nine steps in front of you, and there is a platform every thirty-three steps. Luo Yuxing is at the forefront, and his natural observation is the clearest. Look at the middle of the imperial steps, it is actually a whole piece of white jade, carved into the Nine Dragons jade! Not to mention the exquisite lifelike carving, when this whole piece of white jade, it is difficult to find, which makes people look at it and marvel.

A moment later, the crowd had formed two columns and stood quietly outside the temple gate, waiting to be summoned. At this time, Luo Yu kept complaining, there was a lot of red tape in this palace! But although he kept slandering in his heart, his eyes were lively.

At this moment, he was constantly watching, 'I'm afraid this place is more than ten feet high, and from this overlook, you can see the whole city!'

But just when Luo Yu was wandering outside the world, the shrill voice of the previous internal official was piercing out of the hall, instantly stabbing him awake: "Enlighten my king~, bring the new first-class jinshi to ~." ”

Immediately, a majestic and deep voice came from the hall: "Xuan!"

No need to ask, this voice must be King Zhao.

Subsequently, the voice of the summons rose again: "Xuan~, the new branch of the first class Jinshi will meet ~." ”

Luo Yu and the others suddenly heard the summons, and their faces suddenly changed and their appearances were restored.

After not waiting for a moment, everyone did not squint, and led by Luo Yu Todd, bowed in two columns in turn. Bowing his head and stepping into the hall, there were more than 100 civil and military ministers on both sides!

After standing still, an old eunuch in front of the hall then sang: "Kneel~~." ”

A slightly gentle shrill sound sounded, Luo Yu and the others immediately knelt down in response, and then the old eunuch swept the dust and sang sharply again: "Mountain~... Whew!"

Without waiting for the old eunuch in front of the hall to finish, all the students seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they visited the mountain in unison and shouted: "Students, meet my king, my king is ten thousand years old~, Zhao country is ten thousand years old~." ”

Seeing that all the Jinshi were full of vigor, there was a majestic voice with a slight pleasure above Jin Luan: "Flat body~." ”

Luo Yu and the others thanked in unison: "Thank you, my king~." ”

Although everyone got up, they all bowed their heads, looking at their noses and noses! This is the court, and they can enter the court, and without the king's promise of grace, they are not allowed to look up and look around, let alone look directly at the dragon's face. Therefore, since entering this Chongde Palace, Luo Yu had to keep his head down, until now, what does King Zhao look like? He didn't know anything, he only heard the majestic voice, it should be an extraordinary appearance.

And at this moment, King Zhao said highly: "All the ministers are the pillars of my Zhao country, when you raise your head and chest, you will raise your head for the widow." ”

When all the jinshi heard this, they all hurriedly thanked them and raised their heads in front of them without squinting, hoping to leave a good impression in front of the monarch.

But if everyone doesn't squint, then it's not necessarily true, at least at this time, Luo Yu took the opportunity to sneak a glance at King Zhao in the distance, but he only stayed for less than half a breath, so he quickly avoided it. Luo Yu is heart muttered, while glancing around, secretly said, "This King Zhao is covered by beads on his forehead, he can't see his true face clearly, although he is slightly fat, he is full of energy, he should be in the prime of life." It's just that this palace is majestic and has a simple charm,... I'll go!... Good guys, I guess it takes five people to hug these pillars?......。 ’

At this time, Luo Yu kept observing the surroundings, it was almost difficult to control himself, just like the bitter haha in the ravine and ravine for the first time entering the city. It's no wonder he's like this, you must know that he really came out of the valley, who told him that since he came to this world, except for Qingqiu Town, he has hardly left the peach blossom mountain village for half a step!

In fact, Luo Yu is not the only one who is so unbearable, at least one other person is the same, and that is Todd beside him!

Seeing this, Luo Yu suddenly felt a burst of disdain, and secretly cursed in his heart, "Cut! I didn't know what to do, and I went out to practice for three years... Hey~ Senior Brother Tao, who thinks of me as an 'honest friend', is now also such a 'thief' and thief'.... ’

No matter how shameless Luo Yu was at this time, just looking at Zhao Yi, the king of Zhao on top of the golden luan, after talking about the scene, he changed his words and cut to the point in an instant.

King Zhao pretended to be curious and asked: "The widow heard that this time the champion and the list are out of the same family, so fortunately, why don't the two of them come forward and ask the widow to see them?"

As soon as King Zhao's voice fell, in an instant, there was a whispering of discussion in the court!

But Luo Yu and Tao De looked at each other and smiled helplessly, and said in their hearts, 'The show has begun'.

At the same time, the two took a step forward and bowed: "Student Luo Yu (Tao De) is the champion of the new department (Bangyan), meet my king." ”

As soon as King Zhao saw the two of them coming out, he immediately leaned slightly, and opened the bead in front of him with one hand to look at the two.

I saw that this one was handsome and free, while the other had a square and heroic face, and his heart suddenly doubled his good feelings. You must know that when you entered the court as an official in ancient times, this appearance is also the key! If you have an extraordinary appearance, you will definitely be well received. But if it is vulgar and ugly, then this official fortune can be described as difficult and bumpy, in short, it is natural for those with good appearance to be suitable.

To make a short gossip, at this time, King Zhao had already put down the beads in front of his forehead, leaned back on the dragon chair and asked, "The widow heard that the two of you were out of the same family, is there really such a thing?"

Luo Yu didn't answer after hearing this, but looked at Tao De beside him, Tao De instantly understood Luo Yu's meaning, and the matter of the portal was naturally replied to by him as a senior brother.

I saw him salute King Zhao and said respectfully: "Enlighten my king, the student Tao De and Luo Yu are indeed the same family, the student is a brother at the beginning, and Luo Yu is a brother at the back." ”

When the people in the hall heard that this was indeed the case, the sound of discussion suddenly resumed.

Without him, it is rare to win a jinshi at the same time, not to mention the champion and the leader, which is simply unprecedented! Now everyone listens to what Tao De said, and secretly rejoices in their hearts that it is not Tanhua. If Tanhua is also taken away by his peers, it is estimated that it is difficult for people in the world not to suspect favoritism and fraud.

At this time, I saw that King Zhao coughed lightly, and suddenly the hall was quiet.

King Zhao pretended to be curious and asked, "Tao Deluo Yu, the widow is kind to the two of you... And your teacher is very curious, I don't know where the master can teach two great talents at the same time, can you say that you can listen to the widow?"

King Zhao said as he looked at the two of them with deep meaning, and his eyes rotated between the two from time to time. I saw that Tao De was silent, and Luo Yu first saluted the high King Zhao, and then replied: "Back to my king, the family teacher's surname is Qian, and his name is quoted, and he has lived in seclusion in Taohua Village, Qingqiu Town for more than ten years...... My brother and I have been following our teachers since we were young. The teacher is old, and except for his granddaughter Qian Ling'er, there are only two of us ...... beside him. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately gasped, and then the whole hall was in an uproar! There were only two disciples in one sect!

At this moment, not to mention the ministers, even the King of Zhao, who was sitting on the golden luan, was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was also shocked, 'There are only two disciples in a sect, but they are all high school leaders, it is really unprecedented, I don't want the country of widows to have such a great and virtuous person!'

Thinking of this, King Zhao couldn't care about any prestige anymore, and hurriedly asked: "Such a great sage, the widow should greet him in person, and he must respect him with the teacher, so as to be worthy of the master's talent." I don't know where the master is now, but he has come to the royal capital, and the widow ...... immediately. ”

King Zhao had already stood up, and at this time, he was looking at the two excitedly. However, when he noticed that Luo Yu and Todd were both sad. Suddenly, he chuckled in his heart, and the words he was about to say came to an abrupt halt: 'Could it be...!'.

And at this moment, I saw Luo Yu and Tao De both prostrate on the ground, crying and saying: "Back to my king, the family teacher has passed away three years ago. ”

Hearing this, the hall suddenly sighed, and King Zhao at this time showed even more regret.

But without waiting for a moment, he suddenly had an anger surging up in his heart, and he shouted angrily at Jiuxiao.

"Bold~!"
