The couple had a quarrel for a while, and then Mrs. Tang Er went to Tang Anle's yard and told her about Xiao Yiyuan.Looking at my cute and cute daughter, I felt a surge of emotion in my heart. Before I knew it, my daughter was about to get engaged and then get married.No matter how reluctant you are to let go, you have to let go when it’s time to let go.

Touching her daughter's head, Mrs. Tang Er told her about Xiao Yiyuan's proposal to marry. After hearing this, Tang Anle was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red with embarrassment.Mrs. Tang Er frowned when she saw it. It was obvious that her daughter knew what Xiao Yiyuan was thinking!

"What did he say to you before?" she asked.

Tang Anle shook his head, Mrs. Tang Er didn't believe it.Tang Anle saw this and said, "Every time we meet, he always peeks at me."

With the relationship between Duke Ding's Mansion and Duke Tang's Mansion, the children of the two families naturally interacted with each other frequently, and Tang Anle and Xiao Yiyuan occasionally bumped into each other.Adolescent girls are already sensitive to the feelings between men and women. No matter how repressed Xiao Yiyuan's feelings are, they will show a lot. Tang Anle can naturally feel them.

Mrs. Tang Er felt relieved when she heard that there was no private exchange between the two, and then asked: "What do you think of him?"

Tang Anle blushed and nodded. Mrs. Tang's second wife had a smile on her face but sighed in her heart. Some fates seemed to be destined by nature.She held her daughter in her arms, whispered what Xiao Yiyuan said, and then said: "Your father and I are relieved that he can do this, but the relationship between husband and wife cannot last long just relying on these affections. You have to Learn to manage..."

She talked bit by bit about what she thought was the way for husband and wife to get along, hoping that her daughter would have a smooth and happy life.

Now that the two families have decided on the marriage, they begin to prepare for the engagement.While busy, Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yiyuan were about to take part in the palace examination.Early that morning, Xiao Huai took his two brothers into the palace.

The imperial examination was held in the Jinluan Palace. The new emperor presided over it personally, but there were also many ministers assisting him.Normally, Tang Shuyi, the imperial master, would have attended such an occasion, but because of Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yiyuan's relationship with her, she avoided it.

The question was prepared a long time ago, Li Jingyi asked the eunuch to send it out, and then watched these new Jinshi answer the question.Time passed by, and more than an hour passed. The new scholars turned in their papers one after another. Li Jingyi reviewed the papers in person, with cabinet ministers and Fang Daru assisting them.

The new emperor was very serious and read every paper carefully. He didn't finish reading the paper until the afternoon. Then he pointed at Xiao Yuchen's paper and said: "The thinking is clear, the logic is rigorous, the writing is sharp, and the insights are unique. It is a masterpiece. Xiao Yuchen can be the leader." name...."

"emperor..."

Mr. Zhao opened his mouth at this time, but as soon as he said two words, Li Jingyi interrupted him and said: "Zhao Aiqing, can I finish my sentence?"

His words made the entire Jinluan Palace go silent. Mr. Zhao quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed in a polite manner and said: "I was in a hurry and acted recklessly. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Li Jingyi sat at the top, looking at him calmly...silently.Everyone in the Jinluan Palace looked at the young emperor with a calm face, and for a moment they didn't know what he was thinking.Many people looked at Xiao Huai, and Xiao Huai also had a calm face, which made it even harder for people to guess his thoughts.

It seemed that after a long time, the young emperor spoke, and he said: "I succeeded to the throne at a young age, and I know that many matters in the court need to be relied on by the ministers. I study hard every day and listen carefully to the suggestions and teachings of the ministers. Zhao Aiqing He often teaches me when to get up and when to go to bed, what books to read every day, how many memorials to review, etc."

These words focused everyone's attention on Mr. Zhao. No one thought that he took care of so much, and he wouldn't take care of the children like this at home.

Mr. Zhao turned his head to look at Xiao Huai who was still in his eyes, his expression was awkward for a while.He didn't expect that the little emperor was usually peaceful and well-behaved, what happened today?

At this time, I heard the young emperor say again, "A few days ago, Mr. Zhao told me that the Dingguo Palace is cooking oil. It is not appropriate for Prince Xiao to be selected as the number one scholar at this time. The prosperity is extremely afraid of decline. But I think, Everything must be realistic. What do you think?"

These words made all the ministers present stand up and respond, and Mr. Zhao's political opponents criticized his behavior in a timely manner.Mr. Zhao knelt on the ground and raised his head slightly to look at the young emperor who looked serious and humble. He couldn't figure out for a moment whether the little emperor was deliberately trying to punish him or if he just had this temperament.

At this time, I heard the young emperor say: "I know Zhao Aiqing is loyal, and I also know that Zhao Aiqing interrupted me today out of impatience. I must never do this again in the future. But if Zhao Aiqing is wrong, he is wrong. Zhao Aiqing has told me before, As a monarch, rewards and punishments should be clearly defined, and I have no choice but to punish you. Just punish Zhao Aiqing with a year's salary, and think about it for a month."

"I thank you Lord for your kindness!" Mr. Zhao kowtowed and thanked him. Li Jingyi stood up and helped him up, "I love you, just don't complain to me."

Mr. Zhao quickly saluted again and said, "I don't dare."

Li Jingyi hummed, then returned to the dragon chair and sat down. He looked at Fang Daru and several cabinet officials and said, "What do you think of Xiao Yuchen as the number one?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

All the ministers couldn't figure out what the little emperor was thinking for a moment. He severely disrespected Mr. Zhao today, but he still treated him with courtesy.Mr. Zhao's political opponents originally thought that when Mr. Zhao was about to stumble this time, they found that the emperor did not hurt his foundation.

Li Jingyi didn't care what the courtiers thought, he seriously reviewed Xiao Yiyuan's papers, discussed with the ministers, and then decided that he would be the second best, and then the top pick...

After the imperial examination, there was a Qionglin Banquet, and then the top pick, second place pick, and top pick in the new department paraded through the streets wearing red flowers. The whole trip to the capital was very lively for a while.At this moment, Xiao Huai and Tang Shuyi were sitting on the second floor of the teahouse, looking at their eldest son's graceful appearance and talking about the palace examination.

Xiao Huai said: "Your apprentice pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger. He knocked down Zhao Wenhua's arrogance a lot with beatings, but it also gave him hope and allowed him to continue fighting against his political opponents. He used his balancing skills wonderfully. "

Tang Shuyi chuckled, "It's also those ministers who take themselves too seriously and are too greedy."

If a person is eager for quick success and quick gain, it is easy for his eyes and mind to be confused by something, and then he will do some behaviors that reduce his intelligence. That's the case with Mr. Zhao.
