Through the daily life of the princess

Jia Lian's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked suspiciously: "Next year's palace examination? But aren't there many people who will be dismissed this time? If so, half of the 20 places for next year's palace examination will be pre-determined? This is also..."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and hugged Jia Lian into her arms, knowing that Jia Lian saw that Jia Zhu passed the county and government examinations very easily, and now that Jia Dairu has confirmed that he can pass the hospital test without accidents this year, then Jia Zhu can pass the examination with no accidents. At the age of 14, he became a scholar.This gave Jia Lian an illusion, as if the imperial examination was an easy task.

Mrs. Zhang explained to Jia Lian in detail: "Silly boy, Zhuer is talented and intelligent, so she can study for 8 or 9 years without sleeping and eating. After 200 or 100 years, she will be selected as a scholar. The college examination is just a student from a county or mansion, but the rural examination is a province. The flourishing age of students. Since the emperor reformed the imperial examination, no more than 20 people were admitted in each province in the provincial examination each year, only [-] people were admitted in the general examination, and only [-] people were admitted in the official palace examination.

Poor scholars, gold Juren, and silver Jinshi, this sentence is not a joke.Ordinary farming and studying families need to provide for a scholar with ordinary qualifications, who can support the whole family for the poor.Zhu Er was able to become a scholar at the age of 14, which is already considered a gifted talent.Let those who grew up with the prince and didn't concentrate on studying the Four Books and Five Classics take the exam for a while, unless they really have the talent to memorize, otherwise..."

When Jia Lian heard this, he thought of Xie Jun, because Xie Jun was the genius Zhang said.Jia Lian looked at the box in Mrs. Zhang's hand, and asked suspiciously: "Is mother going to the palace tomorrow to help Brother Ajun with that matter? But what about grandma? Didn't grandma say that she would take the place where my aunt lives again? Clean it up again?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and said with a helpless smile: "No matter how important your aunt is in the old lady's heart, it cannot surpass the importance of the entire Jia family!"

On the other side, Zhong Yan had already received the news from the hidden guard. He looked at the note in his hand, and weighed the difference between the seventh son of the Xie family and the other candidates in his heart.The second son of the Xie family's direct line has already confirmed that he will return to the court and become the prince's right-hand man.Then the maverick genius of the Xie family will not be of much help to the Zhong family's foundation.

But for Le Rong, a son-in-law who doesn't care about politics and wealth is more suitable for her than a son-in-law who will devote his life to politics for political promotion.This made Zhong Yan feel awkward. He hoped that his beloved daughter, the object of his trust in his mother, could get the happiness that his mother didn't get.

But as an emperor, his responsibility is to let the least and most important girls of the Zhong family play their most important role.Back then, the second son of the Li family's direct line died for the first emperor, and for the Zhong family's throne. The Zhong family treated the Li family very favorably, and they also attached great importance to the Xie family son born to the eldest daughter of the Li family.

This is also the reason why Xie Yu was appointed as Zuo Yude next to the prince without Zhong Yan's eyes.Now Zhong Yan can't decide whether to continue to increase the weight of the Xie family, or to expand the investment of the Zhong family in other aristocratic families.

"Although I know I shouldn't come here at this time...but I really brought the bird's nest involuntarily!" Lu Mengqiu walked in helplessly with a small suitcase in his hand.

"You've heard that too?" Zhong Yan went to the sleeping couch in the next compartment and sat down, then patted the place next to him, indicating that it was reserved for Lu Mengqiu.

Lu Mengqiu smiled, took out the bird's nest from the small suitcase, handed it to Zhong Yan, and then sat beside Zhong Yan.Leaning her head on Zhong Yan's shoulder, it was like when they were newlyweds and she was seeking comfort when she was embarrassed by Concubine Lu.After Zhong Yan drank the bird's nest in one gulp, Lu Mengqiu said quietly, "I know it's very important, but Rong Rong is the only daughter we raised together..."

Zhong Yan put the empty jade lamp aside, and put his arms around Lu Mengqiu's shoulders. He couldn't refuse the request of his beloved, besides, Xie Jun's conditions were only a little worse.Zhong Yan finally compromised. Although he would marry Le Rong in the end, he needed to be sure that his concession would bring happiness to his beloved daughter.

"I have one condition. If Xie Jun can become the champion with his own ability for Rong Rong's sake, then I can really give him the tip of our hearts willingly."

Lu Mengqiu looked at Zhong Yan moved, and looked deeply at Zhong Yan with eyes like autumn water, and said softly: "Thank you, Zisi! Thank you for everything you have done for me!"

Zhong Yan endured the inexplicable soreness in his heart, and hugged Lu Mengqiu tightly in his arms. "It's been more than ten years, and I finally waited for you to come back to me, right?" Ever since he broke the agreement between them, his beloved wife never crossed the line like this again, and he didn't dare to force her because it was her. He broke their agreement first.

"You know how much I hate being a queen, you know I have... (How much I hate someone sharing my husband who used to belong to me alone)" Lu Mengqiu buried her face in Zhong Yan's arms, weeping uncontrollably.No matter how Zhong Yan coaxed her, she refused to raise her head.Zhong Yan could only hug her tightly, letting her vent her suppressed emotions.

On the other side, Le Rong was stirring the incense ash carelessly. She was already 16 years old.What Ya Tu said was right, her father would definitely marry her to a certain family member before her 18th birthday.She has been preparing for 15 years, but she still can't face the situation calmly.

She didn't know how Lu Mengqiu, who was also a time traveler, did it to such an extent. After all, Lu Mengqiu did regard her as his own.But when it was her turn, she felt uneasy, apprehensive and a little bit of anticipation.Stir the incense ash slowly to calm down the ups and downs.

Trying to calm down, Le Rong slowly flattened the incense ash, placed a complex auspicious cloud pattern incense seal, put some spices into the groove with an incense spoon, and then slowly filled the groove with an incense shovel, removing the excess Put the spices back into the powder bottle.Slowly lift the incense seal, and the beautiful auspicious cloud incense seal is printed on the flat incense ash.

Le Rong lit one end of the censer with incense sticks, and the curling cigarette smoke rose.The soft rosin filled the room, and the soothing purrs of two dogs could be heard from the dog house in the corner.Hearing the gentle breathing of the two dogs, Le Rong smiled happily. The two dogs have been with her since they were 1 year old, and it has been 9 years now.

They have begun to enter old age, but they are still very sensitive.Her recent anxiety has affected them, making them sticky and anxious, so today she specially prepared a light spice to calm the nerves, hoping to make them sleep well.Hearing their little purrs, she was finally relieved.

After the incense seal was burned out, Le Rong opened the window a little bit to ensure that the aroma would not be too strong, and then closed the window.After grooming and washing herself, Le Rong also fell into a peaceful sleep in the calming aroma.

When she woke up the next day, Le Rong was told not to go to Jiaofang Hall to pay her respects.With a clear and steady breath, he whispered: "The empress has canceled everyone's greetings. The emperor is a quarter of an hour late for the morning court today!"

"Puff...cough cough..." Le Rong spit out a mouthful of tea and accidentally choked it into the trachea.

"Master..." Qingming didn't expect Le Rong to have such a big reaction, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"No...it's okay! Change my clothes first! If today's greeting is cancelled, you can inform Gu Yu that today's breakfast should be simpler!" Le Rong wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and took some tea, then went back to the bedroom changed clothes.

Just as Qingming changed Le Rong's clothes, she heard the voice of the spring equinox outside: "Master, Aunt Lian who is beside the empress is here."

Le Rong and Qingming looked at each other, quickly straightened their hair, tidied their clothes, and walked out. "Greetings to the eldest princess!" Aunt Lian immediately bowed to Le Rong to pay her respects.

"Aunt Lian, please! Is the queen mother doing anything?" Le Rong asked with a smile.

Aunt Lian smiled and said, "The Empress originally invited the eldest wife of the Jia family, the second young mistress of the Xie family, and Princess Beijing, but the Empress is not feeling well today. I hope the Eldest Princess can entertain the three distinguished guests on her behalf!"

Le Rong blinked, although she didn't understand why the queen mother was unwell and didn't cancel the summoning, but since she was asked to entertain her, she would follow her mother's wishes.After all, the queen mother really regarded her as her own, so she couldn't do anything meaningless.

Aunt Lian hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The empress hopes that you and Lu Cairen can entertain the three wives together!"

Le Rong's eyes widened in surprise. The entire palace knew that her biological mother, Lu Cairen, was a "peerless talented woman" who only knew elegance, poetry and painting, and lived in her own world. As for how to entertain others, she would only pull others Tasting tea, watching flowers, reciting poems and composing...

Le Rong frowned. If Lu Cairen is brought along, it means that she not only has to entertain the three ladies, but also needs to pay attention to Lu Cairen's embarrassment to the guests because he hates politics and parents' gossip.You have to know that every time you go to see Lu Cairen, you need to dress in a simple and elegant way, with plum fragrance in your clothes, and you have to be ridiculed by Lu Cairen that she has nothing but a good handwriting.

Le Rong can't take this risk, because Lu Cairen has lived a poetic life in the palace for such a long time. Apart from greeting the empress every day, she has long since lost her holy favor and indulged herself in her own world. In her heart, she will not give face to anyone except the queen empress and the emperor who are like gods.

If she did something on the spot, Le Rong would have no way to clean up the mess for her, so Le Rong decided to confess directly: "Aunt Lian, I can't take Auntie with me. Although she can't help Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Xie, she will definitely Regardless of anyone's face, she mocked Princess Beijing, who was born in Wu Xun's family, on the spot! She has lived in her own world for too long, too long!"
