The painting style of the princess in the Red Chamber is wrong

When Liu Li was taking the test, Shui Jue was also a little nervous, and thought about sending someone to investigate, but he was afraid of putting more pressure on Liu Li and causing Liu Li to perform abnormally, so he could only hold back.On the day when the list was released, Shui Jue sent someone to inquire early, and was relieved when he saw that Liu Li had passed the examination.As long as Liu Li can pass the palace examination, the marriage contract between the two of them will be counted.

When Shui Jue knew the news, Shui Jing and Chen Ning'an naturally also knew about it. For this reason, the most noble couples in the world each dropped a lot of dishes, and the air pressure in the harem was several degrees lower. They thought that there was something to be caught, and they fought tremblingly for a long time.

And the fact that Shui Jing and Chen Ning'an were angry together was naturally spread outside the palace by the spies. For a while, the ministers of the DPRK and China were extremely honest, even Prince Zhongyong was honest.He has been beaten recently and has no intention of winning the throne—in fact, when Shui Jing ascended the throne, he already knew that he was hopeless, and the reason why he was still resisting was just because he couldn't swallow the breath in his heart.It's just that the successive blows forced him to realize the gap between himself and the cowardly prince he had always looked down upon.

It's just that Prince Zhongyong can't retreat even if he wants to. Behind him is the Zhen family, the Li family, and other families who can only fight to the end.Once on the thief ship, it is impossible to get off so easily.

Shui Jue no longer paid attention to Prince Zhongyong's entanglement, and now she really wanted to go to the main hall to see how the palace examination went.At this time, she hated the low political status of women in this era.

In the main hall, Shui Jing was also very anxious.You are not joking, even though he did not make an explicit decree, he cannot go back on what he promised in front of his sister.Now Liu Li has the qualifications for the palace examination, and his papers have been specially presented by the examiner. He is one of the few people who are most likely to win the first place. from several individuals.

This is actually a trap set by Shui Jing.Originally, it was said that Liu Li had passed the general examination, and if he could enter the palace examination, he would be given the title of Tanhua.But this is not necessarily the case.The top three in the palace examination were actually selected when the Jinshi was first selected, and the role of the emperor is to rank.Unless it is a particularly outstanding talent in the palace examination, there will be exceptions.

Shui Jing thought that if Liu Li's rank was too low among Jinshi, he also had reasons not to give Liu Li the position of Tanhua.Although the marriage contract will not be canceled at that time, it is always possible to let Liu Li practice for a while, to hone it well, and let his sister match him for a while, right?

Unexpectedly, Liu Li's literary name was not blown out, his test papers were full of praise from the examiners, saying that he was the number one scholar, but Shui Jing wanted to demote him to the third prize, it seemed that he was still a talent?

At this time, Shui Jing felt a little dark.Relegating the original No. [-] scholar to Tanhua, is it a sigh of relief?

During the palace examination, most of the scholars performed well, only a few of them were too nervous to face the saint, which affected their performance.In the general examination, among the top few people, only one old Jinshi performed abnormally, and the first-class Jinshi missed him.

During the palace examination, I wrote policy theory and handed in the paper at dusk.The papers in front of Shui Jing are naturally only the best papers selected by the examiner, and the number of copies does not exceed ten, and the examiner will also mark it. From the surface of the paper, it can be seen that the position in the examiner's mind Second-rate.The reason for taking more copies is to give the emperor a choice.And the emperor selected only the top four, and the other rankings were decided by the examiners themselves.

Candidates left the venue after handing in their papers, and the results were released the next day.After eating, Shui Jing and several chief examiners sat around some examination papers, and the rankings of the other examination papers had already been selected by the examiners.

In the end, the three candidates selected by Shui Jing had the same rank as the examiners, and were similar to those in the general examination. Unfortunately, the old Jinshi missed the first rank because of his abnormal performance, and only got the position of Chuanlu.As for the position of No. [-] scholar, the examiners always believed that Liu Li should get it.The reason is also simple. In terms of status, Liu Li is not from a poor family, and because of his family's decline, he has nothing to do with the current nobles. He is the best candidate to balance the power of the two parties.And Liu Li himself is very talented, if he wins the first prize, he will be ranked first in the three yuan. It is also a good sign that there is a person who wins the three yuan in the first general examination after Shui Jing ascended the throne.Furthermore, Liu Li's appearance is the most outstanding among several people, and it is also comfortable to look at.

Don't think that you don't look at your face in the palace exam, you look crooked, are you embarrassed to parade in the street?

Shui Jing tried to block Liu Li's quota on the grounds that Liu Li was too young, but the Supreme Emperor was also sitting next to him. He didn't express his opinion at first, and planned to delegate power to Shui Jing. Looking at Shui Jing now, he didn't know what he was awkward about. He insisted that Liu Li's ranking must be lowered, and then he spoke, saying that the Ruizhao of the three yuan and the first place is very good, and it is better to be younger, which shows that he is a talent, so Liu Li was given the number one position.

"But in this case, Tanhua's appearance is not as good as the champion." Shui Jing regretted.

The Supreme Emperor couldn't help laughing: "Could it be because of this that you have to drop Na Liuli's ranking?"

Shui Jing said awkwardly: "He is indeed young, and Tanhua is not the best looking, I always find it very strange. Besides, as long as he is born as a first-class Jinshi, there is not much difference in his future."

If it wasn't for maintaining the emperor's dignity, the Supreme Emperor really wanted to knock Shui Jing on the head: "If it is a future test, you can do as you want. It's just this is the first time. How good is the topic of Sanyuan and Di? It's also an opportunity."

"I understand." Shui Jing lowered her head.

"Ahem." The Supreme Emperor glared.

"I understand." Shui Jing was dejected, "I still think it's strange that Tanhua is not as good-looking as the number one scholar."

Taishang was so angry that he walked away.The ministers on the side looked at the nose, nose and heart, as if they were the background board.

Shui Jing was really upset. Not only did he lose his sister, but he also gave Liu Li a good reputation of three yuan and first.How could Liu Li be so lucky?

After the emperor left, he naturally told the "interesting story" to the empress dowager and Shui Jue who were chatting. The empress dowager leaned forward and back with a smile, and Shui Jue covered her mouth and laughed at her brother.The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager only thought that Shui Jing was upset that the number one scholar was actually better than Tanhua, and felt a little awkward. Only Shui Jue knew her brother's true thoughts.

The empress at the side also changed her face when she heard this, and said with a smile: "If it wasn't the emperor's first time presiding over the palace examination, then Liu Li is too young, so it is not bad to be a candidate."

"Come on, the two of you, husband and wife, have the same idea. Is this considered as a couple?" The Empress Dowager joked, "It's just that the child's surname is Liu, so is he related to the Duke of Li in the capital?"

"It doesn't seem to be a close relationship, it's just a coincidence." The Supreme Emperor knew a thing or two about Liu Li, "That family was also the Duke of the State when the country was founded, and it seems that the title is Hui. It doesn't matter. But because of the same surname, the two families have a good relationship after that."

The two Liu families are not linked together, but because of the same surname, when both families still have officials, they must have walked closer than the other people, and they also called each other brothers at that time.

The Empress Dowager nodded.She was just asking out of curiosity, and didn't care about his origin.

"It seems that Liu Li still has the title of captain of the third-rank Qingche." The Supreme Emperor is also very satisfied with Liu Li.When people are old, they are nostalgic for the past, and they are always more tolerant towards the nobles, but those nobles are really worthless.Now suddenly there is a honorable queen who won the first prize, how could the Supreme Emperor be unhappy?Even though he had long forgotten about this noble family, if it wasn't for Liu Li's future, he probably would never have remembered the existence of such a family.

"That's really a young talent." The Empress Dowager glanced at Shui Jue with a pointed smile, and Shui Jue immediately retreated with a blushing face.

The Taishanghuang laughed and felt that it seemed inappropriate for him to mention this young man in front of his daughter.But after thinking about it, Shui Jue has reached her age, so she doesn't know if Liu Li is married, if she is not married, it is a good marriage.

..................................

He only said that when Liu Li sent someone to inquire about the news the next day, he was shocked when he learned that Tan Hua was not him, but the person who immediately announced the good news screamed, which did not scare Liu Li too much.It's just that Liu Li was a little hesitant. The agreed Tanhua became the number one scholar. Does this engagement count?Is the emperor satisfied or dissatisfied with him?

The purpose of Liu Li's participation in the imperial examination is different from other scholars, it is purely for the verbal marriage contract.Now it's a critical juncture, and Tanhua who had agreed to become the champion suddenly made Liu Li's always wise head a little unclear.He even blamed himself a little bit, so what are you doing to steal the limelight? If he had known to hide a little bit of strength, he wouldn't be up and down now, feeling uneasy.

If other scholars knew what Zhuangyuan Lang was thinking, they might come to him with bricks.Isn't that too bullying and insulting?

Liu Li's entanglement cannot change the established fact that he has become the champion.After the release of the list, it was the Qionghua Banquet where the emperor hosted a first-class Jinshi.Liu Li was wearing a brocade robe, with big red flowers tied on his chest, his appearance was like spring flowers and autumn moons, forcibly comparing the second place with Tanhua's face that could still be seen was dull.

Tanhua Yuli, whose style name is Pengyun, was born in the Luzhou area. He is also a prominent family in the local area and has a reputation as a romantic and talented scholar.He rubbed his nose, and gave Liu Li a very malicious look: "Being compared to the number one scholar, I will probably become a laughing stock."

"The No. [-] Scholar has both talent and appearance, which ordinary people like me can't match." Deng Wei, whose name is Meng Ming, looks generous and kind, and his mouth is more poisonous than Yu Pengyun.

"Are you two finished?" Liu Ziyi gave them a sideways look.

"Tsk tsk, you're still angry." Yu Pengyun put his hands on Liu Ziyi's shoulders and winked, "You're the one who won the number one prize, why don't you smile."

"Peng Yun is right." Deng Mengming also nodded vigorously.

The corner of Liu Ziyi's mouth twitched, and a whip hit Peng Yun's horse's ass.Although the force was very light, the steed still took a few steps forward.

Yu Pengyun smiled even more freely.

"Do these three people know each other?" Seeing this, other people still don't understand, are these three people acquaintances?Shui Jing pretended to be sitting upstairs while shooting Liu Ziyi's death gaze while asking.

"Liu Zhuangyuan and Deng Bangyan studied in Confucius Academy for more than a year, and it seems that they met at that time." The eunuch dressed as a servant hurriedly replied.

"Hmm." This is also fate.However, because of the name of Confucius, people with a little money and talent will go to the Confucius Academy for a period of time to study, to listen to the Confucian classics explained by the Confucian who opened the academy and not to be an official, and then to observe the relics of Confucius. .It is really rare that these three people can bump into each other and become seemingly good friends.

Shui Jing never doubted Liu Ziyi's affection for Shui Jue, and even had a high opinion of Liu Ziyi's ability in the city - that's why he hated Liu Ziyi.If Liu Ziyi regards these two as friends, then she can call Liu Ziyi to ask if these three are available.These two people are not in his employment list. If they are added, many things will be easier to do with the reputation of the two of them through the imperial examination.

Liu Ziyi didn't expect such a coincidence to enter into the first class with these two people.But when he thought about it again, he happened to want to go with Shui Jing.Deng Mengming was born in a poor family and has nothing to do with any power in the court, so he can naturally be accepted by the emperor as his confidant.Although Ding Pengyun is said to be a prominent family in Luzhou, his branch is close to the Kong family and has occasional marriages. His status is detached, and the family has always adhered to an impartial political orientation.No one from the Ding family is an official in the capital now, but they only have some influence in Luzhou.

Based on the friendship between the three of them, although they can't be regarded as irreversible, they still appreciate each other, but with the opportunity of being a scholar in the same discipline and serving as an official in the same dynasty, it is possible to become irreversible.If he persuaded these three people to work for the emperor and introduced them to the emperor, then the emperor's impression of him might be better.

Liu Ziyi knew how precious the emperor was to Princess Chang Rui, so she hated herself.

It's just that for these two people, he only knows about their knowledge and conduct, but not very much about their ability to handle affairs, and needs to observe a little bit.But based on those two points alone, you can also pull the strings first.

Liu Ziyi's belly was crooked, and she had a disgusting face of selling friends and seeking glory.And the two people who made fun of Liu Ziyi didn't know that Liu Ziyi was planning to sell them both to the emperor to gain favor.

But even if they knew, they would probably only be grateful.Not every first-class Jinshi can be reused by the emperor.Especially these two people have no connections in the court, so it would be extremely difficult for them to be officials in the capital.

The three of them usually communicate with each other, but when they were taking the exam in the capital, Liu Ziyi stayed behind closed doors, and Ding Pengyun had already heard from the elders in the family that there are people in the capital who are jumping around a lot, so don't go out if you have nothing to do.Although Deng Mengming had no one to advise him, since he had a good relationship with Liu Ziyi and Ding Pengyun, he naturally got their advice long ago.Deng Mengming is also quite confident in his talent, even if he can't get into the first class, he must have a second class Jinshi background.If you want to send a post to meet the dignitaries, you have to wait until the list is released.

Now the three of them met for the first time in the capital, and they talked a lot with each other, until the little eunuch urged them to meet each other and smile, at least they went to the street.Liu Ziyi was thinking of Shui Jue in her heart, and was feeling uneasy, not knowing if she had won the first prize, whether the marriage contract counted or not, her soul had already gone to nowhere, her face was naturally serious, no smile could be seen coldly, but she had a look of A noble look.Deng Mengming always had a gentle and honest smile, he looked like a kind person, his fingers holding the rein turned white, and he looked a little nervous.Ding Pengyun seemed to be well adjusted, and he could still smile like a flower at the girls in the attic by the roadside, as if he really wanted to earn his reputation as a romantic and talented man.

"Ziyi, are you happy? Is it interesting to keep a straight face?" Ding Pengyun touched his forehead, which was hit by a purse, then turned to Liu Ziyi and said, "I remember that you are not married yet. On the way, there is a young lady who has taken a fancy to you. Why don't you smile and be courteous to your future daughter-in-law?"

Liu Ziyi gave Ding Pengyun a blank look.If he sees Princess Chang Rui, he promises to laugh like a flower immediately.But it was obvious that the emperor had a big opinion on him, so it was unlikely that Princess Chang Rui would come out of the palace to watch him parade.

"I remember that brother Pengyun already has a fiancée in his family. Is it really okay for you to smile so brightly?" Deng Mengming also joined the chat, "Don't be sorry for Miss Kong."

Ding Pengyun rubbed his nose: "I'm just smiling, my Mingwei won't be so stingy."

"I remember that Ms. Kong is very good at whipping. Since she likes to practice martial arts, she should be a very energetic person." Liu Ziyi said with a fake smile.

Ding Pengyun gave Liu Ziyi a vicious look.Deng Mengming laughed out loud immediately.

Although Kong Jiana and Ding Pengyun's childhood sweethearts are gentle and quiet, it is rare for the Kong family to prefer martial arts rather than literature.However, she is the only daughter of the generation in the family, and she is also the youngest daughter. She has been loved since she was a child. Although she has a good family education and is not arrogant, her family's hobbies are very indulgent, so her martial arts are not bad, at least Ding Pengyun This weak scholar is incomparable.However, Ding Pengyun and that Miss Kong family played together since they were young, and they have a very close relationship, and they never felt that there was anything wrong with Miss Kong's family.

It's just, ahem, I'm a little afraid of guilt before we get married.

So Ding Pengyun's flirtatious appearance is completely just a superficial appearance.

"You don't have to envy me. There are so many people who want to marry you as the number one pick at a young age." Ding Pengyun was teased by the two of them many times, and he was very thick-skinned.

"I already have a fiancée in my hometown." Deng Mengming said with some embarrassment, "I have exchanged the date of birth, and I have made an appointment to marry her after the imperial examination. Then you will have a glass of wedding wine."

"Naturally, congratulations." The two said hurriedly.

"Now Ziyi is the only one missing." Ding Pengyun hurriedly said, "You are the only fragrant bun. I am looking forward to seeing you being chased and intercepted."

Liu Ziyi really wanted to yell, he is also engaged to be married.But it was about the reputation of the princess, and it was impossible to say it out, so Liu Ziyi had no choice but to suffer from internal injuries, and let the two people who had already resolved the major events in their lives laugh at her.

..................................

After the parade, the three of them changed their clothes and took a short rest before going to the Qionghua Banquet together.

Shui Jing had already returned to the palace, and was being dragged by the Supreme Emperor to talk about Shui Jue's marriage.

Shui Jue is almost 14 years old, it's time to get engaged.After the princess is engaged, the princess mansion needs to be built and the dowry needs to be made. If the princess is favored, it will take at least one year to prepare.Shui Jue is now settled and married at the age of 15, which is just the right age.What's more, this year coincides with Chunwei, and there are new academic scholars of the right age to choose from, and the range of choices is much wider.

According to the Taishanghuang's idea, Shui Jue was so favored that he could not be married to some officials who were already powerful in their families.Therefore, among the humble or fallen nobles, those who are very promising and capable are the first choice of the Supreme Emperor.And young people in their teens and 20s, who is more promising than Jinshi?What's more, this year there is also a young No. [-] scholar who has won three yuan.

The Supreme Emperor sent people to investigate Liu Ziyi, and the dirty things in the Liu family were naturally investigated. The Supreme Emperor greatly appreciated Liu Ziyi's forbearance and ability. The Taishanghuang boiled it down to acting for his concubine, which was the performance of Chengfu.However, the Liu family's heirs are weak, and there are no elders above them. Liu Ziyi has long been in charge of the Liu family, and after Shui Jue gets married, she will not be tied down.

In addition, because of Liu Ziyi's filial piety, let alone marriage, it is said that there is no connecting room.Although it is said that after Princess Shang, all concubine concubines will be dismissed, but there have been and never have been are two different things.

The Supreme Emperor still loves Shui Jue very much.

After reading Liu Ziyi's information, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager agreed that there was no more suitable candidate for the son-in-law than Liu Ziyi.It's hard to find a handsome man like Liu Ziyi who is the number one scholar, has inherited the title, is capable, and doesn't have a room at home, even with a lantern.

But it's time to settle down now.Otherwise, this fragrant bun might be snatched away by someone.You must know that Shui Jue is not the only woman of the right age in the capital.At that time, if Liu Ziyi already has a marriage contract with someone else, with Shui Jue's high heart, she will not be able to steal other people's men.

So the Supreme Emperor hurriedly found Shui Jing, saying that it would be best to let the word out at the Qionghua Banquet, so that no one would dare to think about Liu Ziyi anymore.

Shui Jing was so angry that he was hurt internally.What kind of ability is this Liu Ziyi, not only won the heart of the baby sister, even the father is on his side.

However, Shui Jing was about to fulfill his promise, so he just pushed the boat along the way and used the meaning of the Supreme Emperor to cover up his private agreement with Shui Jue.When others talk about this marriage in the future, it was appointed by the Supreme Emperor.Shui Jing pretended to be very unwilling (in fact, he was very unhappy) to marry off his sister, but was beaten twice on the head by the Supreme Emperor, and nagged by the Empress Dowager for a long time, so he reluctantly agreed.

The Supreme Emperor couldn't laugh or cry.Could it be that Shui Jing wants to keep Shui Jue forever?With the friendship between Shui Jing and Shui Jue, it's really hard to say.Shui Jing always felt that after Shui Jue got married, she was no longer free by her side.

The Supreme Emperor thought, and he was also worried.Shui Jue has been doted on by her brother and herself since she was a child. Although she has a good personality and never willful, the two father and son are also obedient to Shui Jue. They turn a blind eye to things that are not in line with women's etiquette .I don't know if you can still be so comfortable after getting married?It seems that even if it is settled, it still needs to mention the future son-in-law.

..................................

The rank of the Qionghua Banquet is naturally the same as the ranking, and the position of Yijia Jinshi is the closest to the emperor.And all Jinshi are at the front, and all accompanying high-ranking officials and clans have to sit back.

This is the treatment that only Qionghua Banquet will have.

Jinshi are very excited.For most of them, this is the only chance to meet the emperor in this life-it doesn't count in the palace examination.In fact, they all lowered their heads at that time, and at most they could see the steps under the emperor's feet, not even the shoes.

Although the dishes of the Qionghua Banquet were exquisite, the Jinshi didn't move their chopsticks very much, for fear that their behavior would not be elegant enough and would leave a bad impression on the emperor.Shui Jing first encouraged the group of disciples of the emperor, and then raised his glass to toast.After Jinshi drank this glass of wine, even the most drunk person felt that he was almost drunk.

This is the wine toasted by the emperor.

At the Qionghua Banquet, apart from toasting and eating, since everyone is a scholar, it is natural to have some fun as a scholar.For example, the emperor came up with a question and asked these people to make poems and so on.

It's just that the emperor didn't know whether he was optimistic about Liu Ziyi or aimed at Liu Ziyi. Every time a question was asked, Liu Ziyi was asked to answer by name, and each question was more tricky than the other, and his attitude was also disgusting and picky.Liu Ziyi was naturally in a cold sweat, even his friends Ding Pengyun and Deng Mengming were sweating.Everyone present was curious as to how the No. [-] scholar offended the emperor.And the people standing on Prince Zhongyong's boat who couldn't get off were thinking, since the emperor doesn't like the number one scholar, is it possible to win the number one scholar onto his own boat?I heard that the number one scholar is not yet married, so perhaps it would be a good idea to marry him.

Even Prince Zhongyong himself was counting the age-appropriate ones among his concubine daughters and the daughters of the Zhen family.If it wasn't for that he didn't have a daughter-in-law, it would be appropriate for the number one scholar to match his daughter-in-law.I heard that his family has a big business, not to mention rich, and he has inherited the title, so he is a good candidate to be an in-law.

The Supreme Emperor watched from the side, he was so angry that he vomited blood.In fact, the Taishanghuang made up his mind to keep quiet this time, and wanted to show everyone that he really didn't care about things.But why are these four sons so unreliable as they were in the palace examination?Isn't this forcing him to make a move?

So the Taishanghuang coughed internally, interrupting Shui Jing's next wave of embarrassment.Shui Jing reluctantly stopped, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

The Taishanghuang was even more internally injured.Please speak!Let me tell you about the princess getting married!What a jerk son!I'm so mad!

So the Taishanghuang bitterly cleaned up the mess for his son, he felt that his heart was really broken.

"Your name is Liu Li, you are the descendant of Duke Hui, right?" The Supreme Emperor gave Shui Jing a vague look, then asked Liu Ziyi with a smile.

"Yes, the Supreme Emperor." Liu Ziyi hurriedly saluted.

"Okay, Duke Hui must be very pleased to have you as a descendant." The Supreme Emperor said, "What do you mean?"

"Back to the Supreme Emperor, the name of the humble minister is Ziyi, the son of Confucius, Yi who is relaxed and happy."

"Good words, good words." The Supreme Emperor stroked his beard, "I heard that you have never married?"

"Yes." Liu Ziyi immediately became nervous.

"That's just right, let the matchmaker do it." The Supreme Emperor stroked his beard again, "The three yuan and the first, but the eternal reputation, rare, rare."

"Thank the Empress Long En." Liu Ziyi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Hmph." Shui Jing snorted coldly without hesitation, and was secretly kicked by the Supreme Emperor.

This bastard son, even if he doesn't do things well, he can't make trouble for his father.

"Get up, just wait for the good news from the widow." The Supreme Emperor smiled meaningfully.All the people present shot at Liu Ziyi with envious and jealous eyes. If a knife could kill someone, Liu Ziyi's whole body would already be covered in blood holes.

Prince Zhongyong sighed in his heart, it seemed that he could not win over this person.He turned his attention to Ding Pengyun and Deng Mengming.The No. [-] pick is gone, isn't there still No. [-] and No. [-]?It is said that the two are not yet married.

When Liu Ziyi returned to her seat, her whole body was floating.What else can the Supreme Emperor do as a matchmaker?This marriageable princess happens to have one!Now those present finally understood the reason why the emperor was picking on Liu Ziyi.Because the marriageable princess is just that one.With His Majesty the Emperor's doting on the eldest princess, it's no wonder that he can treat Liu Ziyi with a good face.

Different from other people's envious expressions, Ding Pengyun and Deng Mengming already have a marriage contract, and the people they marry are also the people they like, and marrying a princess sounds nice, but life may not be easy in the future, so they are not envious.The two raised their wine glasses and smiled knowingly at Liu Ziyi: "Congratulations."

"Same joy, same joy." Liu Ziyi was so happy that she couldn't choose what to say.The long-cherished wish of many years was fulfilled in one fell swoop, Liu Ziyi wished she could do a few laps on the spot.

"Pfft." Ding Pengyun laughed, "Young Scholar, pay attention to your image, you're about to knock over the plate."

Only then did Liu Ziyi come back to her senses, suppressing the ecstasy in her heart, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't stop turning up.

This made Ding Pengyun and Deng Mengming a little strange. Based on their understanding of Liu Ziyi, Liu Ziyi is also a proud person, and she will never get carried away because of Princess Shang.Now Liu Ziyi's attitude seems to be not only excited by the power that Princess Shang can get, Liu Ziyi is not such a person.

This is a bit like the reaction of marrying a woman you love deeply, right?The eyes of these two passers-by were sharp.

The two observed carefully for a while, and finally confirmed the guess in their hearts.I just don't know when Liu Ziyi had a relationship with Princess Chang Ruichang?However, Princess Chang Ruichang went to the south of the Yangtze River twice to recuperate, and she also visited Jinling several times. It is also possible that Liu Ziyi accidentally saw Princess Chang Ruichang's true face.

It was love at first sight, and the two looked at each other, thinking about it.

The banquet ended just as Liu Ziyi took the top spot and gained the most attention and "benefits". Regardless of the sour feelings in the hearts of other Jinshi, the news that Liu Ziyi is likely to become the eldest princess's consort also spread as he wished. However, those who wanted to recruit Liu Ziyi's son-in-law could only let it go with regret.

Immediately afterwards, Ding Pengyun and Deng Mengming also spread the news that they were already engaged, and all the first-class Jinshi had their own names, which made those who wanted to recruit a son-in-law almost pat their thighs and sigh.

..................................

"Brother...you've been staring at me for a long time." Shui Jue's black lines were incomparable.

"Keep busy, leave me alone." Shui Jing continued to look at Shui Jue with grievance.

"...Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Shui Jing sighed: "It's nothing, I just feel uncomfortable thinking that you will soon belong to someone else's family. I still remember when you were so... young."

Shui Jing compared the height of her calf: "In an instant, she will grow into a big girl who is about to marry."

Shui Jue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I married a man in, but I didn't marry out. It's just that there are more people in the family. I'm still my brother's sister, and nothing has changed. If my brother likes it, he can leave me a separate courtyard in the palace. It's okay to live in the palace. Ziyi doesn't like to go out, so he won't feel bored even if he stays in the courtyard."

Liu Ziyi is much more contented than she is in the room.

"That's right." Shui Jing suddenly realized, "You are not married, you can enter the palace every day! No, no, I should come out often, you are not free outside the palace when you enter the palace."

It's not that Shui Jing has to look at Shui Jue every day, it's just that Shui Jue is not her family anymore, so she feels uncomfortable.Now that I have figured it out, I feel better.

No matter how you think about it, Liu Ziyi who thinks she is a woman in her heart is not the one she married, right?No matter how he thinks about it, it seems that he can't be too harsh on his sister-in-law, it's not good to his sister.

After figuring it out, Shui Jing fell into entanglement again.Shui Jue's princess mansion and Shui Jue's dowry are far behind!Is one year enough time? Why don't you discuss it with the Supreme Emperor and give it a one-year grace period?

Then Shui Jing was photographed by the Supreme Emperor.

The Princess Mansion has long been decided to use the original Prince Rui's Mansion to renovate, well, the mansion next door will be demolished, and some streets will be occupied to make a garden for Shui Jue to play.As for the dowry, Shui Jing has been saving since Shui Jue was born, and there are many treasures in the national treasury. Jue as dowry.

And the part of Shui Jue's dowry has already been returned to the Taishanghuang's private treasury, and it has been more than ten years.

Even if the furniture needs to be newly built, and the mansion needs to be rebuilt, one year is enough - the mansion's remodeling and the garden's construction began when Shui Jing ascended the throne.Originally, his mansion was supposed to be rebuilt as one of the palaces, but this specification was a bit beyond the standard for a princess mansion.At least on the surface, he still needs to restrain himself a little, lest others gossip about Shui Jue.

But Shui Jing had just finished worrying about the dowry and the princess mansion, and was worrying about Liu Ziyi's lack of status.Although Liu Ziyi is a three-yuan ranker, it seems that the title is lower?I always feel wronged sister.Even if my younger sister says she is married, but not married, the status of marriage is a little lower, right?Doesn't look good on the face?

So Shui Jing asked the Supreme Emperor again for advice.The Supreme Emperor was also persuaded by Shui Jing this time.It seems that the title of the third-rank Lieutenant of Qingche is really low, and he is really not worthy of his precious daughter.So the Supreme Emperor waved his hand. At night, the old man dreamed of the founding ancestor of the country. The ancestor said that Duke Hui had a successor, and he was very happy.So the Supreme Emperor was also very happy after waking up from the dream, saying that Liu Ziyi is very promising, and the three yuan rank is very auspicious, let Liu Ziyi break the rules and take the title of Duke.

Shui Jing also made a decree, saying that the Supreme Emperor was very happy and he was also very happy. If the Supreme Emperor said that he would break the rules, he would break the rules and seal Liu Ziyi as the Duke of Huiguo, and bestow the Duke of Huiguo's mansion.

That's right, the Princess' Mansion can't be too eye-catching, so let's give one more Duke's Mansion, and use it as a separate courtyard for my precious sister in the future.

And after Liu Ziyi became Duke Hui, the rumors in the capital that Liu Ziyi might marry Princess Shang became the exact news that Liu Ziyi would marry Princess Changrui.

If it wasn't for Princess Chang Ruichang, why would the Supreme Emperor and the Imperial Merchant be so motivating?
