A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

one.

Ming Jingbo returned to Beijing to report his work, just in time for the candidates to enter Beijing to participate in the general examination.

Many candidates encountered along the way are in their prime, full of yearning for the capital and the future.

There are many readers, and it is inevitable to get together to talk and talk about things.

In the inn, a scholar wearing a green robe said: The last time I went to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, people outside said that the queen was charming and enchanted with the Sacred Heart, and the five emperors were arrogant and domineering. Prince.

He didn't say outright that the world sees the wind and the rudder, but there is a bit of meaning in his words.

Most of the students who were able to cite people in the exam were stable in temperament and had gullies in their chests. When they heard the meaning of what the candidates in Qingpao said were not right, they pretended not to hear them and used their meals separately.

It is the way to act when you are away from home and provoke less trouble.

Seeing that no one was taking care of him, the Qingpao candidate couldn't hang on his face, and sat down in the corner angrily.

Ming Jingbo looked at the candidate with a kind smile and said to ease the embarrassment of the other party: I don't know what you have to say about your son?

Seeing that the middle-aged man who was talking was well-dressed and had elegant manners, the Qingpao candidates thought about talking to the other party: In my opinion, these are all grass, and they will fall wherever the wind blows.

Listening to what the son said, it seems that you are dissatisfied with the current behavior of touting too?

Seeing the middle-aged man with encouraging eyes, the Qingpao scholar seemed to agree with his statement, and he started talking about sex: The four emperors have been famous since childhood, but they were exposed after the fifth emperor married the daughter of the Ming family. Countless crimes, is this a coincidence?

Ming Jingbo nodded with a smile and motioned the candidates in Qingpao to continue.

Immediately, he heard a bizarre story, probably that the Ming family united with the five emperors to slander the four emperors, and helped the five emperors win the crown of the prince, in order to make the Ming family prosperous and rich.

Nonsense! An examinee with a patch on his clothes couldn't bear to pat the table and stood up: The three adults of the Ming family have done so much good for the people of the world, how can you say that they have become famous people. You These people who open their eyes and talk nonsense, I look disgusting, stay away from me, don't stain my ears.

The three brothers of the Ming family have a high status in the minds of scholars. After the candidates in patched clothes stood up to refute, several candidates stood up to fight for the Ming family.

You said that you framed the fourth emperor too much. I also think that the fourth emperor deliberately slandered the prince. A candidate said: I heard that the prince attaches great importance to scholars. He not only donates money and books for scholars, but also fights against them. If the five emperors are incompetent, how could His Majesty let him be the crown prince?

Yes, yes.

The candidates looked at the Qingpao candidates with angry eyes, and even Ming Jingbo, who talked to him, received a lot of contempt.

The anger is extraordinary. I think you are someone who has seen the world. Do you agree with this gentleman's statement?

Ming Jingbo smiled and shook his head, stood up, and asked the servant to pay the store's money: The monarchs are the pillars of the country, and this old man wishes you all the titles on the golden list.

Seeing the middle-aged man's attitude is so gentle, the candidates are a little embarrassed. They bowed and thanked him: Thank you, Mr. Ji Yan. I don't know if Mr. is visiting relatives in the capital or something else. If it is convenient, we can go together.

My surname is Ming, and I'm the second eldest in my family. It's natural to go home when I go to the capital. Ming Jingbo handed over with a smile and turned to leave the inn.

Bright?

The students felt that this surname was very friendly.

A candidate from Lingzhou hid in a corner and shivered. He was kind or not. He was Ming Er of the Ming family in the capital.

The legendary laughing poisonous tiger with a knife hidden in its laughter and a sharp-edged tongue.

The three brothers of the Ming family had a conflict with the Ming family in Lingzhou.

The adults all said that the Ming family in Lingzhou must have done a lot of things to the three brothers of the Ming family, otherwise, with the kindness of the three brothers of the Ming family, they would not make things so ugly.

There are so many things passed down in private, so that Lingzhou candidates have an unwritten rule not to mention that they are from Lingzhou in front of the three brothers of the Ming family, so as not to provoke their sadness and cause trouble for themselves.

Ming Jingbo hasn't returned to Beijing for many years. Because of his responsibilities, he can't even return to Beijing for his niece's wedding with the Five Emperors. Now I finally have the opportunity to return to Beijing, but unfortunately my niece has already lived in the palace, and it is even more difficult to meet...

Disaster?

Ming Jingbo stood in the courtyard of the third younger brother, looked at the prince who was attentively serving the dishes behind the third younger brother and sister, turned his head silently, and asked Ming Jinghai: Brother, when did the fifth emperor become so obedient and obedient?

The year he left Beijing, the Fifth Emperor was only seventeen years old. He was wearing brocade clothes and moccasin boots.

Cough, cough. Ming Jinghai looked at his little niece who was walking towards him: His Royal Highness is accommodating and benevolent, treating people with courtesy, what's so strange?

Ming Jingbo looked at his elder brother suspiciously, there must be something wrong with his brain.

Uncle, Uncle. Jiuzhu held the washed fruit and put it in front of the two of them: There is no delicious fruit in early spring. These are the frozen pears and tangerines stored in the palace. You can try them.

Wouldn't it be bad to just move the things in the palace back to your parents' house?

Ming Jingbo thought to himself, but he stretched out his hand honestly.

Little pig. Yun Duqing put down the tray of desserts and waved to Jiuzhu: Come.

Jiuzhu trotted and came to him.

Open your mouth. He took a snack and put it in her mouth: How does it taste?

good to eat

, not greasy or sticky. Jiuzhu pulled his sleeve: One more piece.

Like it? Yun Duqing fed her another piece.

I like it. Jiuzhu nodded.

Face, I am with.

Water, I poured it.

Sugar, I spilled it.

Yun Duqing put down his chopsticks, raised his chin slightly with his hands behind him, and seemed to be waiting for Jiu Zhu to say something.

So this dish was made by Your Highness yourself? Sure enough, the next moment, Jiuzhu jumped up in surprise, she reached out and hugged him: Your Highness is amazing, you really can do anything.

Yun Duqing showed a proud and satisfied smile: Would you like to eat another piece?

want!

The three brothers of the Ming family sat in a row in the corner, watching the greasy and crooked couple with different feelings.

After a long time, Ming Jingbo said, It's good to be young.

Ming Jingzhou stuffed a tangerine into his hand: Second brother, eat fruit.

Eat more and talk less.

Originally, I was worried that my niece would be wronged when she was with the prince, but I didn't expect Taiben to be so... pure.

Yes, innocence.

Ming Jing parked in Tai and saw pure happiness and trust.

He is very happy with Jiuzhu, and he has complete trust in Jiuzhu and the Ming family.

Which father-in-law and mother-in-law don't like such a son-in-law?

It was not until it was dark that Yun Duqing and Jiuzhu left in the carriage. Ming Jingbo looked at the carriage and suddenly understood that not only did he trust the Ming family too much, His Majesty also trusted the Ming family.

When are you leaving? Ming Jinghai asked.

Five days later. Ming Jingbo retracted his gaze: As a parental official, it is not good for me to leave for too long.

The three brothers are already prominent. If they all stay in the capital, even if His Majesty trusts them, they will inevitably gossip.

Upholding justice and cherishing the world has been the persistence of the three brothers over the years.

Although they have been together and separated a lot over the years, thousands of miles apart, but seeing the people getting richer and richer, they feel that everything is worth it.

Jingzhou and I have taken two days off. The three of us have a good walk in the capital these two days. Ming Jingzhou smiled: The next time we meet, it will be a few years later.

The three brothers looked at each other and smiled, leaning shoulder to shoulder like a young boy, talking about the fine wine and food in the capital.

Not to mention parting, but know that the short reunion is the next parting.

two.

At the end of the Enke Palace Exam, the Ministry of Rites held a Qionglin Banquet in the palace, and the scholars respectfully attended the banquet.

In addition to the famous Jinshi on the list, there were other officials and children of the clan who came to attend the Qionglin Banquet.

Hearing the laughter of the princesses, the jinshi's cheeks were flushed, and they dared not look up.

His Royal Highness is here, and the Crown Princess is here.

The jinshi hurriedly stood up and bowed, especially the jinshi from the poor family, who were very excited.

The princess who was still laughing just now was extremely quiet in front of Tai, probably no one wanted to be the second Princess of Roude, and was reprimanded by Tai in public.

But to the surprise of the princesses, today's Yun Duqing is extraordinarily gentle and easy to talk. Whether it is the champion or the third flower, they are all smiling and personable.

The princesses didn't understand what was going on, but Princess Huai and Princess An knew about it.

Because the concubine was present today, the noble and perfect His Royal Highness, how could he want to show the slightest flaw in front of the concubine.

The prince and the concubine have been married for more than a year, and the relationship is still so good. Princess An sighed: Sister-in-law, do you think we should ask Jiuzhu, how did you maintain the freshness with the prince?

Princess Huai smiled when she heard the words: I have nothing new to say about our prince.

Men are disobedient, most of them are used to it, just be a little bit fiercer to him.

She recalled last year's Lantern Festival, when the fifth brother and the fifth younger brother and sister were not married yet, they held the lamp and held hands as they walked far away in the bustling crowd.

At that time, she was still worried about Jiuzhu, and she gave her all the heart and was finally let down by Yun Duqing.

She thought she could see through people's hearts, but now she understands that people's hearts are different, life and death are separated from marriage, and they all have their own fate.

Hopefully five years from now, ten years from now, fifty years from now, she'll see them sitting together in trust.

Even with gray hair, there is still light in the eyes looking at each other.

I heard that the concubine's painting skills are very good, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see the calligraphy of the concubine?

I'm afraid it won't work. Yun Duqing held Jiuzhu's hand and laughed loudly: The Ming family has ancestral teachings, and the paintings of the descendants of the Ming family cannot be seen by non-relatives and partners.

In the early winter that day, the thick fog had not dissipated. The girl's head was covered with blue silk and mist beads, and she sent the painting she made by herself to him.

That is the most beautiful picture in the world.

He smiled and looked sideways at her.

The beauty of a painting lies not in the fineness of the brushstrokes, but in the affection in the brushstrokes.

Your Highness, what are you laughing at?

I'm happy.

Happy for what?

He picked up the wine glass and used the movement of drinking to cover the two with his wide sleeves.

Happy... I got the most expensive treasure in the world. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead lightly.

This kiss is as light as the breeze and warm as the sun in winter.

He is proud and wanton, and has a noble position in the world.

After the father has the mother, there is the world.

The mother and the queen have the father and the queen, and have beautiful jewelry.

There are many people in the world who care about him, but only the little pig's eyes are shining brightly.

How lucky he is.
