III Jiangshan

Yuan Youqi was overjoyed, as soon as Mochi's figure appeared in the hall, her gaze began to follow involuntarily.

She fell in love with Mochi's appearance in the red phoenix-patterned dress, and the size of the dress, but she went to the needlework department in person and instructed the chief internal supervisor of the needlework department.The chief internal supervisor was shocked by the emperor's sudden appearance in the acupuncture department, and even more surprised by the content of the emperor's ten thousand orders.Yuan Youqi still vividly remembers the way he opened his mouth in a daze.

This is of course not the most important.The most important thing is that Ah Heng is comfortable to wear. The clothes should not only complement Ah Heng's bearing, but also not cover up Ah Heng's bearing... When it comes to Mochi, Yuan Youqi's judgment of "good" is much more Heavy standard.

Because of these thoughts, she paid close attention to the progress of this dress directly and indirectly several times, so frequently that the Chief Inspector of the Needlework Bureau murmured inwardly: Your Majesty will not regard this dress as the queen's wedding dress. right?

Of course, he only dared to slander such a thought in his heart.

As expected, the Needlework Bureau lived up to Yuan Youqi's expectations, and allowed her to see the beauty of Mochi as she wished.

Yuan Youqi pursed the corners of her lips, restraining the uncontrollable joy in her heart, under the table where no one else could see, her fingers couldn't help twirling the dragon pattern on the front of her scarlet swallow robe.

The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, the dragon and the phoenix are beautiful, the dragon is flying and the phoenix is ​​dancing... I and Ah Heng really match each other very well!

Yuan Youqi was very happy in his heart, and the top three in the imperial examination and all the enrolling scholars over there saluted the empress dowager and the emperor together.

Yuan Youqi waved his palm, giving everyone a chance to stand up, but his palms were itching badly——

As the champion of the new division, Mo Chi took the lead in the first meeting of the team, which made Yuan Youqi see her more clearly. The heart that has been missing for three days, like nine autumns away, is no longer suffering, but longing.

Longing to take her hand and pull her up.

Longing to pull her up and hold her in his arms.

There were more than [-] people saluting in front of him, but Mochi was the only one in Yuan Youqi's eyes.

The conversation with Mochi flashed through her mind——

That day, after Yuan Youqi kissed Mochi, his emotions were agitated, and he only felt that it was best to be like this every moment.

"After the Qionghua banquet is over, I will go ask my mother to agree to our marriage, okay?" She hugged Mochi, her lips were still lightly pressed on Mochi's temples, pouring out her heart.

Yuan Youqi wanted to marry Mochi so much, he had better get married right away.

There have always been many rules in the Tian family. The emperor's wife is the mother of the country. The ceremony of marrying into the Tian family is the most cumbersome.Not to mention the cumbersome procedures on the day of the wedding, such as the marriage ceremony, ceremony ceremony, sue the ancestors, offering sacrifices to the heavens, etc., it is not uncommon to prepare for three years or two years in terms of preparation time alone.

Moreover, until now, Yuan Youqi still has some doubts about Mochi's thoughts: Mochi probably wants to be able to stand up to her emperor's dignity, so that she won't be ridiculed by the world's subjects for marrying a "lowly born" The fact that a woman is a queen makes it easier for the two of them to come together with less resistance from the clan and officials, so they embark on the path of women's science.But is that the only reason?Yuan Youqi couldn't tell the truth.

With Mochi's structure, spirit, and talents, would she really want to do something in the government and make a name for herself in history?

Before Yuan Youqi, when it was confirmed that Mochi was going to take the women's exam, he specially prepared a Qingyun road for Mochi.As long as Mochi thinks, Yuan Youqi is willing to pave the way for her, and even prepared for her the position of the future chief official of the cabinet that will be established soon.

However, this kind of thinking gradually changed in Yuan Youqi's heart as the days progressed.She has already begun to waver, and gradually turned into resistance.

Because, if Mochi takes an official career, he will not be able to become her queen for the time being. Even Mochi can only choose one side for court affairs and palace affairs, the front court and the ban.

Thinking that it might take three, five, or even ten or eight years for Mochi to be his courtier, but not his queen, Yuan Youqi panicked, wishing he could be involved in Mochi immediately. Gong, tightly encircled her by his side, and never allowed her to leave him even half a step.

Obviously, such an idea cannot be realized. No matter how greedy Yuan Youqi is for Mochi, no matter how much he wants to take Mochi as his own, he has no choice but to ignore Mochi's true thoughts.

It was precisely because of this that she couldn't help asking what Mochi meant when she was so emotional. She wanted to get an exact answer from Mochi, or in other words, an answer that she was satisfied with.

At that time, Mo Chi only smiled slightly, without saying yes or no.

This made Yuan Youqi confused, he didn't say anything, just smiled, although it was a pretty smile, but he couldn't find any clues from it.

Yuan Youqi then returned Mochi with a nice smile, she decided to temporarily put aside those troubled thoughts at such a charming time.It's a long day, isn't it?

However, now, with the beautiful appearance of Mochi in front of her eyes, Yuan Youqi began to feel a little sourness uncontrollably in her heart: Mochi is her wife, so beautiful is also seen by others!

Yuan Youqi's reason is very clear, her thinking is very unreasonable, very unreasonable, Mochi is independent, not her private property, no matter whether she will be her courtier or queen in the future, she has no reason to keep her Treat it as your own.But ah, loving someone deeply is just so unreasonable.

Yuan Youqi burst out with the urge to propose to such a beautiful Mochi on the spot——

Who said that if you are an emperor, you can't propose to the woman you love?

This kind of thought ran and rolled in Yuan Youqi's heart several times, and he almost couldn't hold it back.

At this time, she had absolutely no idea, the impulse she tried to restrain was put into reality by Mochi.

The rituals of the Qionghua Banquet are basically the same as the Qionglin Banquet, except that there is one more item this year than the previous ones, which is the hairpin.

It was the empress dowager who held the hairpin in person, and the number one scholar, Tanhua, and the second place came forward to salute in turn, and the empress dowager pinned it in her hair to show that the heavenly family attached great importance to the imperial court.

The ceremonies of this "hairpin flower" have been established in the past, and most of the queens who have the emperor's wife are the top three gifts.Because Yuan Youqi had no queen and didn't want to bother Queen Mother Wei, this rule was frugal.Unexpectedly, this time it was brought up by the Ministry of Rites, Yuan Youqi never thought of it.She finds it fresh, and also feels that if Mochi gets the "gift of flowers" from Queen Mother Wei, in a sense, it is approved by Queen Mother Wei, which is not a bad thing.

However, Yuan Youqi is also worried.She was worried that when the Empress Dowager Wei made hairpins for Mochi, she would embarrass Mochi.

In fact, she was worrying too much about it.During the whole process, although the Empress Dowager Wei did not give Mochi any good looks, and even refused to look at Mochi, she never made things difficult for Mochi. The hairpins were placed on the heads of the three armors respectively.

This made Yuan Youqi secretly heave a sigh of relief.

After Empress Dowager Wei finished her hairpin, Mo Chi, Zhou Leshi and Guan Jin all saluted and thanked Empress Wei.

According to the procedure, the next step is for the emperor to give imperial wine to all the imperial examination candidates, and to drink with the queen mother, ministers, and clan relatives to celebrate.Then, all the imperial examination candidates, headed by the top three, thanked the emperor for their gifts.If the emperor is interested, he may test a certain or a few new imperial examination candidates, or those among the officials who like to have fun, ask some small topics at the right time, and ask the new imperial examination candidates to write a few articles on the spot to cater to their wishes and praise the prosperity of the times. Poetry and prose, in order to please the emperor, everyone will comment on it one or two times, drink a few times of wine, cater to the holy will a few times, and a banquet is coming to an end.

Yuan Youqi smiled and ordered all the waiters to fill the cups for the officials, clan relatives and other officials present, and she smiled and said a few words of encouragement such as "the imperial court uses talents to make all the ministers stand out, and I am very comforted" Talking about the head, he raised his neck and took the lead in drinking a cup of wine.

When everyone saw the emperor drinking, they dared to drink by themselves. Let's drink together, and thank you for the gift.

Almost everyone who was close to the throne could tell that His Majesty was in a great mood.

That kind of "excellent" is not the gratification and complacency of "getting talented people from all over the world to be used by me", but another kind of more complicated joyful emotion.

Empress Dowager Wei knew what her child was thinking.She hummed silently in her heart, and the corners of her eyes swept across the ink pool below.

The Ai family wanted to see how she got rid of this face!Queen Mother Wei continued to hum in her heart.

Although she could not get used to the "woman surnamed Gu", although Queen Mother Wei was not convinced by this woman's courage, she had to admit deep down in her heart that this "woman surnamed Gu De" was a bit unusual.

After all, the next thing, I am afraid that no one has ever done it since ancient times...

Let all the new imperial examination candidates thank you together, they should take their seats, and then the etiquette officer will preside over the next ceremony.However, when everyone sat down, Mochi was still standing there.

This made her look extraordinarily awkward.

The rest of the people present looked at her strangely, wondered in amazement, could it be that the new champion lady was drunk?

The imperial wine is mellow, but it will never make people drunk immediately.What's more, the emperor thought that the new imperial examination candidates who participated in the Qionghua Banquet were all women, so he ordered Yousi to prepare fruit wine.The fruit wine is brewed from fresh fruits in the imperial garden, it tastes like sweet water, even if you drink a jar, it will not make a young lady drunk.

And the courtiers who had resisted Mochi for a long time were already secretly preparing to rush to the front of the imperial court and participate in the ink pool for the crime of "immorality in front of the imperial court".

Unexpectedly, Mochi's next move made them even drop their jaws——

Just when everyone was puzzled, Mochi had already left his seat, walked slowly to the center of the hall, walked a few steps forward, and stood at a place less than two feet away from Yuan Youqi. .

Because of her sudden action, Yuan Youqi became inexplicably nervous, his back straightened involuntarily, and he stared intently at her every word and action.

"I am grateful for your majesty's gift of wine." Mochi said slowly, calmly, "I still have a few words, and I would like to ask your majesty to hear them."

She is already a high school student in the palace examination. Although she has not been awarded an official title, she is fully qualified to call herself a "subject" in front of the emperor.

All eyes were attracted by her words, and the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Yuan Youqi stared intently at Mochi's eyes, his throat rolled uncontrollably, and he held his breath.

Yuan Youqi seemed to know, but also didn't seem to know what Mochi wanted to do next. She was eager to hear what Mochi wanted to say, but she was a little afraid of hearing what Mochi wanted to say.Such contradictory thoughts made her not only lose her breathing, but also her ability to speak.

Mochi's eyes are also focused on Yuan Youqi, like a candle lighted in the dark night, slowly turning from a bean of light to a small ball, and from a small ball to a dazzling bunch... …until, that light is enough to reflect the heaven and the earth, driving away all the darkness and haze.

There was a dazzling light in Mochi’s eyes, full of ardent affection, she spoke, she said——

"Please be His Majesty's wife! Your Majesty please allow me!"

The author has something to say: So, Ah Heng proposed marriage (smiling)
