The princess' little concubine wants to reconcile [Rebirth]

The autumn wind blows away the residual heat of midsummer. Chunyulou is the largest ornamental garden in the capital, and it is mostly a place where dignitaries gather.

Because Liu Meier hadn't attended the coronation ceremony yet, she only tied her hair with a headband, and she was wearing a golden-brown robe with auspicious clouds and sun patterns. Although she looked a little stuffy, the only thing that was a little lively was the peach blossom embroidered sashes.

This is Liu Meier's only pendant with some beautiful colors.

After being led into the hall by the servants, Liu Mei'er was full of envy when she looked at the girls in beautiful pink, red and green clothes along the way.

"Master Liu, please." The servant stopped and said.

Liu Meier stepped into the path, and soon heard the girls chatting and laughing, and the smell of alcohol was even more obvious.

At this banquet, not only Liu Meier but also many noble children of the right age.

"Busy people, it can be regarded as coming." Several people joked.

Liu Meier smiled shyly and took a seat next to the man. Drinks, tea and refreshments were all available at the banquet.

And Sister Dai sits in a high position, and the men from the four major families are the closest, but because Sister Dai is now in her twenties, the children of these noble families are at most in their early [-]s.

On the contrary, the great general Yue Wu saw that he was at least 25 years old, and Liu Meier was peeling a peanut in her hand, thinking that anyway, sister Dai would not have anything to do with her in this life, so who among them would the son-in-law be?

At first, the men could still sit upright, but most of the men were restless by nature and could not sit still, so they began to play the game of throwing pots or other games.

For a while, many people came to watch and gamble, Wang Yan looked at Liu Meier who was sitting quietly through some people, and then deliberately approached.

Liu Meier faintly sensed that something was wrong, so she borrowed the toilet first to watch.

Liu Meier, who came out from the long corridor, breathed a sigh of relief. In the season of high and crisp autumn, the branches and leaves of the trees in this courtyard are already turning yellow, and they will wither and become dilapidated in a short time.

"Why is the young master of the Liu family hiding here alone?" The woman who suddenly spoke is Xie Xi, the granddaughter of the Xie family. She is sixteen years old and has an ordinary appearance but elegant temperament. She is a well-known talented woman in the capital.

Before Liu's father had a falling out with the Chang family, when he visited his grandmother during the Chinese New Year, he would often meet people from the Xie family, so he knew him somewhat.

Liu Meier turned her head to look at Xie Xiying: "I'm here to enjoy the scenery, why is sister Xie here alone?"

"I came out to get some air." Xie Xi sat sideways on the railing seat, holding a round fan with his fingers and shaking it lightly.

The two of them sat and stood, and the view was extremely lively, but it seemed that this side was too quiet.

"Well, I'll go back first." Liu Meier was afraid that the servants would be worried for a long time.

Xie Xi nodded and said, "Yes."

Liu Meier returned to the hall and took her seat, only to see that the young masters who were in the competition suddenly had an argument, and when the girls and maids all around retreated one after another, they realized that they had started fighting.

Fortunately, the great general Yue Wu came forward to stop the arrogance of these aggressive young masters, but they felt ashamed and left the banquet angrily.

After this farce, it was quite deserted, and the banquet soon ended.

"Are you hiding from me?" Wang Yan asked with unwillingness to stop the person who had nowhere to escape.

Liu Meier looked up at the aggressive Wang Yan, feeling the pressure in her heart, he hesitated and said: "Sister Wang, you misunderstood."

How important is a woman's reputation, how could Liu Meier dare to provoke her lightly, let alone because she was worried about Wang Yan's reputation.

Wang Yan's pomegranate red dress made her face extremely delicate, but her eyes were filled with anger and aggrieved questioning: "What do you think is wrong with me?"

Liu Meier was so frightened that she leaned her back against the wall and said anxiously: "There is nothing wrong with it, it's just that Meier knew she wasn't good enough, so she wanted to avoid it."

"Really?" Wang Yan looked at Liu Meier in front of her with tears in her eyes.

"Of course it's true. Sister Wang is such a good person, she will definitely meet a better match in the future." Liu Meier compared with Wang Yan, who was more plump in front of her, she was very weak, so she didn't dare to move around .

Wang Yan blushed and tilted her head and said: "Then you send someone to propose marriage to my family, I will definitely not despise you."

But there was no response to the words, Wang Yan turned her head to look, unexpectedly Liu Meier crawled out of the dog hole.

"Liu Meier!"

Wang Yan was furious.

Liu Meier, who had never been so embarrassed, hurried into the sedan chair and urged the servants to return home.

After taking her seat, Liu Meier found a box in the sedan chair and asked in confusion: "What does this box contain?"

Xiaofeng, the servant outside, responded repeatedly: "My lord, this is a gift from the eldest princess to every family. You were not here just now, so I will put it on the sedan chair for you."

"Understood." Liu Meier opened the box and stared blankly at the two glazed lanterns.

It seems that Sister Dai was not angry last time, but even specially sent someone to bring back the glazed lantern.

Alas, such a comparison seems to be even less polite.

Baby Liu Meier returned home with the box in her hands, Chang looked at her embarrassed appearance and thought she was being bullied.

After Liu Meier took off her clothes and soaked in the bathtub and told the truth about how she escaped by climbing the dog hole, Chang looked at the grievance on her child's face and couldn't help laughing: "It's just a dog hole, just climb up, anyway, no one Know."

However, things backfired, after Wang Yan was repeatedly rejected, she began to speak ill of Liu Meier.

The story of the dog hole was spread among the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, even Jiang Changdai in the palace had heard about it.

Empress Yuan, who was injured by an assassin last year, has just recovered from her illness. She almost forgot about Wang Yan's marriage, but unexpectedly, such a thing suddenly happened.

In the early winter season, it is reasonable that the imperial examination will be held next year, so Liu Meier should study poetry and books in the mansion.

But Liu's father insisted on taking Liu Meier to visit the officials of the court: "This court is very deep, if you don't make good connections, no matter how much you study, you will only be a dowry for others."

Although Liu Mei'er disagreed, she didn't dare to refute Father Liu, so she had to follow her around between banquets all day long.

However, because of the rumor that Wang Yan deliberately added fuel, Liu Meier's reputation was slandered, and the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital looked down on the foreign officials who entered the capital.

Now that Liu Meier is a candidate again, and she is expected to be named on the gold list in the coming year, the children of the four major families are even more jealous, and Liu Meier has encountered their cynicism many times at the banquet.

"Mr. Liu, who has read poetry and books, how could he climb the dog hole in the Chunyu Building?"

"Yeah, I think that dog hole must be very big."

Those aggressive sons and lords laughed non-stop, and even toasted people at the banquet from time to time to toss and run people secretly.

Liu Meier walked back to the mansion in a buoyant way several times.

When the first snow fell profusely, the weather was suddenly cold, and Liu Meier, who was always in poor health, fell ill because of this, and her whole temperament became dull.

In the morning, Mrs. Chang looked at the child who had finished drinking the medicinal soup, touched her forehead to test the temperature, and said, "Fortunately, it's back to normal, otherwise I should ask the doctor to take a look."

Right now Liu Meier is wishing she could get sick so that she wouldn't have to drink with those young masters.

But you can hide from the first day of the new year, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day. After New Year's Eve, visits between officials are always indispensable.

The Wang family must not be able to hide. Father Liu and Liu Meier came to the door in person on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

The sons of the Wang family have always been the best at eating, drinking, and having fun. At present, the rural examination has cost a lot of money to get three grandchildren to enter the final places of the rural examination. The master of the Wang family praised Liu's father at the banquet for his good teaching skills, which attracted Liu Meier a lot of resentment .

Father Liu repeatedly smiled and said, "I'm overwhelmed."

After the banquet was over, Liu's father did not leave immediately, but Liu Meier could only listen to the opera in the garden with the princes of the Wang family.

The servants prepared the tea one by one, Liu Meier thought that she could avoid those annoying ghosts of the Wang family without drinking, and she was glad in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Liu Meier let go of her hands as soon as she touched the teacup, and the hot tea splashed on her left hand and her robe.

Blisters quickly appeared on the already fair and tender skin, and the pain was even worse.

"It deserves it!" Wang Yan said with resentment when she saw Liu Meier who was being helped away by her servant.

Wang Yan has never been rejected like this in so many years, this Liu Meier is clearly ignorant!

Because of the severe burns, Chang looked at the red blister on Meier's left hand and felt distressed and said: "The girl from the Wang family is too unreasonable, such a narrow-minded revenge is simply vicious."

"Mother, don't be angry, be careful not to get angry." Liu Mei'er lay on the bed to comfort her.

"I think it's better to find a girl from Fengcheng for Meier to be obedient, otherwise, if she really marries the daughter of the Wang family, it will be a misfortune for the family." Although Chang was annoyed, she also knew that with Liu's father's villainous mind, he couldn't do it. Go and judge with the Wang family for your own children.

When Liu Meier heard her mother mentioning the marriage, she couldn't help feeling a little shy and said: "It's better not to get married."

Looking at Liu Meier's ruddy face, Chang said with a smile: "Silly boy, there is no way you can't get married."

Although it's still early to mention marriage, Chang feels that she should make plans for her children earlier.

After all, the lady from the noble family in this capital city is really not to be offended, and it would be even more dangerous if her identity was revealed.

The burn on his left hand did not recover slowly until after the Lantern Festival.

In the spring of February 15 in Tai'an, candidates from all over the country gathered in the capital, and the court was also restructuring the arrangement of examiners and selection officials for this spring's scientific examination.

Jiang Changdai specially deployed an army to guard the examination room, and ordered that if there is any fraud, it will be expelled from the examination room and never entered.

As soon as this order came out, many children from your family realized that this spring's scientific examination was different from previous years.

After the end of the three exams, it was late February, and the rankings would be released in early March.

When the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, the capital is waiting for the rankings to be released. Unexpectedly, the court has arrested many examiners who took bribes one after another.

When the list was released, Liu Meier won No. 60. The servants of Liu's family set off firecrackers to congratulate the high school all the way.

Liu's father, who originally thought that he might fail the ranking due to the fraud case, was overjoyed when he heard the news, and held a banquet in the mansion for three days, and many guests came to congratulate him.

In fact, Liu Meier is a little disappointed about this ranking, the gentlemen of Taiyuan Academy all said that they hope to enter the top [-].

However, the court on the day when the list was announced was very turbulent, Jiang Changdai frowned slightly and looked at Liu Zhi who was on the list of bribes.

Originally, Liu Meier's article was quite satisfactory, and the top twenty should be very possible.

But because of Liu Zhi's bribery, it is reasonable to deprive Liu Meier of her examination qualifications, but she has worked so hard for so many years, if she fails the exam, it may be a big blow to her.

Furthermore, the empress Yuan's family was involved in this bribe, and the royal family and nobles even ignored the laws and regulations. If it weren't for the support of the Yuan family and other powerful families, they would all have to be imprisoned.

When Emperor Jiang Feng looked at the list of bribes handed over by his eldest sister, he was actually shocked.

The aristocratic families have always been in close contact, and I have heard about it for a long time, but the court decree has been issued more than a month ago, and the four major families headed by the Yuan family dare to ignore it, it is really audacious.

"How does Your Majesty think this matter should be dealt with?" Jiang Changdai wanted to see if Jiang Feng's ability to govern had improved.

"This..." Jiang Feng is actually very satisfied with Empress Yuan, not to mention that the Yuan family occupies half of the court, "I think it's better to let go of the old love for a while."

"Then what does Your Majesty think about the arrangements for the children of the Yuan family to participate in the imperial examination this time?"

Jiang Feng looked at the names of these people and said: "The elder has a high prestige in the government and the public. I think his descendants should be talented, so why not keep them for appointment?"

When Jiang Changdai heard this, she probably understood that Jiang Feng wanted to calm things down.

Because of such concerns, Jiang Changdai retained the quota for the children of the Yuan family, but their ranking was lower.

In order to break the monopoly of the children of the aristocratic family on the court and officialdom, Jiang Changdai focused on promoting the children of the noble family and students from the local poor families.

In addition, a special examination in front of the palace was set up, and only the top [-] were allowed to enter the palace to participate in the distribution of official positions. Since then, it can be regarded as a little face for the four major families.

Naturally, Liu Mei'er had no hope of participating in the imperial examination, and there were also many noble children who were also dissatisfied with this imperial examination.

The children of these noble families are not as prominent as those of the four great families, but they are also the children of officials, so they are somewhat arrogant.

"I don't believe that the four big families didn't pay bribes!"

"Who says it's not? Let's not talk about other families for the time being. There must be something wrong with the children of the Wang family eating, drinking and having fun all day, but still being listed on the list."

"Hey, why can't we fight to have a good father, otherwise we can't even keep our identity as a Juren now."

In autumn, Liu Meier, who has become a tribute, registered in the Ministry of Officials. She thought that there would not be any vacancies so soon, but unexpectedly, the Imperial Academy was short of a few ministers.

Although it is not a serious official position, Liu Meier is extremely excited for her first appointment.

There is a special school in the palace for the prince, but the emperor has not yet had an heir, so most of the attendants are sorting out ancient books and other trivial matters in the Imperial Academy.

When the winter snow came, the royal palace was already covered with thick snow, Liu Meier was extracting ancient books in the morning, and the daily life of the Imperial Academy was very leisurely.

Every day, Liu Meier is almost always looking for something by herself, and most of the bachelor attendants next to her are children from the four similar families, except Liu Meier is from a foreign family.

"It's really boring to study ink and copy books every day."

"If I knew it earlier, I would have asked my father to find me a fun official position."

"That's right, Mr. Yuan has to be a doctor no matter what."

The most common thing these people do every day is to flatter each other about Yuan Luo, while most of the work of the Imperial Academy is to ignore it.

It's just that the bachelors didn't dare to provoke them, so it was Liu Meier's turn to prepare for minor tasks.

In addition to providing professors with knowledge of allusions, the Imperial Academy is also responsible for drafting edicts for the emperor on weekdays.

Of course, Liu Meier, who was told by a waiter, couldn't do such a big job, but it was still okay to run errands and carry paperwork.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, Liu Meier kicked the heavy documents in her arms and followed the bachelor to the main hall.

The living room at the back of the main hall was not that spacious. Liu Meier entered with the documents in her hand, and she could only faintly see Na Dai's sister reprimanding the officials through the curtain.

The emperor on the other side didn't dare to make a sound, and even the bachelor stopped his movements immediately, tilting his head to stop Liu Meier's progress.

After all, the Eldest Princess has extremely strict policies, and the bachelor feels that there is really no need to take risks.

Liu Meier stopped, but because of the cold wind blowing outside, she sneezed uncontrollably for a moment.

The sneeze was too clear, when Jiang Changdai frowned slightly and looked there, she saw Liu Mei'er's face was flushed from the cold, holding a thick document.

When the four eyes met, Liu Meier quickly lowered her head in embarrassment, thinking that this is too embarrassing.
