The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

The queen glanced down, and quickly found the young man sitting below, and said to the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty, I heard that... Li Liuyuan has not yet married, and my concubine saw that Li Liuyuan was handsome and young Qing is a courtier in the court who can serve you, the emperor, with both good looks and talent."

"Today, all the girls in the houses are in the palace, and good things come in pairs. Why don't you take advantage of this good day, your majesty, to open a golden mouth today, point out a good marriage for Li Liuyuan, and choose one who is worthy of Li Liuyuan." good girl?"

"Li Liuyuan is not yet married, but that's the case. Queen, are you asking me to point out a marriage to Li Liuyuan?" Hearing what the queen said, the emperor really began to think about whether to point out a marriage to his little Liuyuan.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Empress was still trying to persuade the Emperor to marry Li Wen.

Li Wen, who was sitting below, broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that the queen asked the emperor to marry him.The emperor wants to marry him?He remembered that the emperor asked him before, and he said that he already had a lover, and he politely declined the emperor's kindness.No wonder the emperor forgot about this matter?

At the same time, Zhao Xiangyi also changed his face, how dare the queen!

Yang Shaomu's heart skipped a beat, "Mother, why are you..."

Others don't know the relationship between Li Wen and Zhao Xiangyi, but that doesn't mean the prince doesn't know.But about these two people, Yang Shaomu did not tell his mother.After all, it's not easy to publicize the fact that two men are together, and he respects his companion and junior, so Yang Shaomu didn't talk about Zhao Xiangyi and Li Wen's private affairs with the third person.

His mother had never mentioned this matter to him before, so Yang Shaomu didn't know that his mother's idea was on Li Wen's head. This made Yang Shaomu feel a little anxious, and he didn't want to let Zhao Xiangyi and him Divorce from the heart, and let the little junior brother blame him in his heart.

Even if he can't get this person, Yang Shaomu still hopes that the person he likes can be happy in his heart. He has already lived a life that is not what he thinks, and he doesn't want the person he likes to be like him.It is not easy to meet someone you like and like yourself in this world, not all people can be so lucky

Yang Shaomu frequently winked at the queen mother who was sitting on it, but unfortunately the distance between the two of them was a bit far, and his mother didn't notice him.

"...The concubine sees that the girls from several families are worthy of Li Liuyuan. What do you think, the emperor? Or do you have a better candidate, the emperor? You can also listen to it. The concubine can help you refer to it." The queen said. Several good girls, judging from their backgrounds, are more than enough to match Li Wen, a young official from a poor family.

"The person chosen by the queen is naturally good." It's just that the emperor changed his mind, and he didn't want to follow the queen's suggestion to marry his little Liuyuan. It was too long, reaching out to the people around him.

The emperor didn't show it on the face, but he was already displeased in his heart, and his tone of speech was a little lighter, and said, "Let's talk about this later, I am tired today."

Li Wen is the number one scholar he hand-picked, and the officials who have been single-handedly promoted should be loyal to him, the emperor. In the past six months, Li Liuyuan has added so much silver taels to the household department, which is comparable to those below who only know A courtier who takes money from the pocket of the emperor is much better.Based on this point, Li Wen's position in the emperor's heart once surpassed many ministers in the court, and he was unique.

For some reason, the emperor even had a feeling in his heart that his little Liuyuan might not like the marriage he arranged for him, and he should ask little Liuyuan what he meant about this matter later.

What if Xiao Liuyuan already has someone he likes?He, the emperor, may have done bad things with good intentions and let his courtiers separate from him, which is not good.After asking Xiao Liuyuan which girl he likes, and then marrying Xiao Liuyuan, the emperor has already made a decision in his heart.

"Yes, the concubine didn't think carefully. Since the emperor is tired, the concubine will take you back to rest." The queen knew in her heart that what she said just now was inappropriate, and she was already thinking about how to remedy it. .

The emperor got up from his seat, and the empress thoughtfully stretched out her hand to help.

Seeing the emperor leaving, the people below knelt down one after another, respectfully sending the emperor and empress away.

Hearing what the emperor said later, Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay!"

No one knew that in this short period of less than a cup of tea, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.In fact, he was already ready to get up just now, and politely declined the queen and emperor's kindness.If he didn't protest until the emperor really proposed marriage to him, it would be disrespectful and a serious crime of beheading. At that time, even if the emperor didn't want to punish him, some officials in the court might not let him go.

But he didn't expect that the emperor didn't intend to marry him. The plot reversed so quickly that he still didn't realize it.When he turns back, he must find an opportunity to express his feelings to the emperor, otherwise one day the emperor will give him some mandarin ducks on a whim, and he won't know how to appease the jealous bucket at home.

At the same time, those who breathed a sigh of relief were Zhao Xiangyi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince below.

It's just that for some ministers who have taken a fancy to Li Wen and want to win people to their side through marriage, they can't help but feel a little pity in their hearts.

Many unmarried girls sitting on the side of the women's family, when they saw the handsome Li Liuyuan, they had already secretly agreed with each other. If the emperor intended to marry Li Liuyuan, they would still have a chance to fight. Who would have thought that the emperor would not marry him? He didn't mean to marry Li Liuyuan.

But the emperor didn't propose marriage to Li Liuyuan, which proves that they still have a chance, which is actually not bad!

It doesn't matter if he was born in a poor family, Li Liuyuan looked much more pleasing to the eye than those officials with wrinkled faces in the court. Instead of marrying those dandy young masters in the capital, he might as well choose a man he likes.Who said that in the future Li Liuyuan would not be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, an extremely human minister!

Some little girls secretly clenched their fists in their hearts, they must find a way to get Li Liuyuan's attention!

氺

The emperor and empress left the banquet early, and the palace banquet continued, but after the emperor left, the courtiers could leave later.

"giggle,'

A little man ran to his side, heard giggles, and even startled Li Wen, and when he turned his head, he saw a white and tender little dumpling behind him.

The child has a pair of bright eyes and a bright smile on his small face. He looks three parts like a princess and three parts like His Royal Highness, and there is a little shadow of a little prince on his face.It doesn't matter if a nephew looks like an uncle, but it doesn't matter if he looks like a young man. When you grow up, don't be like your brother-in-law and be a playboy. The key is.

Li Wen recognized this child as the direct son of His Royal Highness at a glance. He had been in and out of the East Palace before, and he had seen this child in His Royal Highness's house.If the prince can sit on the dragon chair in the future, the little dumpling in front of him will undoubtedly be His Royal Highness the prince in the future.

"Little darling, do you remember me? Why did you come to me by yourself?" Li Wen didn't see any palace people following the child, and it seemed that the child ran out by himself.His Royal Highness is just such a son, if something happens, it will be bad.

Li Wen stretched out his hand to the child, and the child put his little hand in his, and he hugged the child on his lap with all his strength and sat down, asking, "Xiao Xuan'er, do you still remember brother?"

"Ok?"

"Xuan'er..." It was him, and Mother called him Xuan'er.

"Brother...giggle..." The child giggled, reaching out to grab something from the table.

A two-year-old child really doesn't know much about it. Li Wen thought of when his little boy was two years old?Yes, he would paw at his leg and call him brother, but their little boy was chubby when he was a child, like a little piggy, and he found it too heavy to hold.

But this one from the Prince's house doesn't have a lot of meat when you hold it. Does it mean that you don't usually eat it?Why are you so thin.Li Wen slandered in his heart.Seeing the child reaching for something on the table, Li Wen stopped him and asked,

"Are you hungry?"

"Want to eat?" Li Wen asked again.

"Eat!" The child answered him, staring at the food on the table.

Then he was really hungry, so Li Wen recruited a palace servant, and asked the palace servant to go over and tell the crown princess that the young prince was with him, and asked the crown prince to send someone to take him back.Seeing that he wouldn't give him food, the child lost his temper and was about to cry, Li Wen hurriedly coaxed, "Okay, okay, I'll give you, only a little bit?

"A little..." The child is so cute that he can learn the tongue, he will say what others say, if he can't learn a whole sentence, he will catch the words after it.

Still don't know a little bit is less for him.

Li Wen reached out to grab a piece of fluffy snack, and even tried the poison once as a little eunuch. After tasting a little bit without any problem, he put the snack into the child's hand.Sure enough, as soon as the child took it, he put it to his mouth and gnawed it. Li Wen picked up the fallen scum and put it on the table, "Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

He didn't dare to give children other dishes that were already cold.

I have had experience raising my younger brother before, so Li Wen knows how to take care of a child. Such an older child is actually the best time to coax and have the most fun. You can learn whatever you teach. It is when you are learning to speak, and you can talk to him. Like a little parrot.

"Your Majesty, little master, he... is gone."

"What? Xuan'er is gone?"

The child who had been carried for a long time clamored to go to the ground, so Situ Xue had no choice but to put the child down and told her to follow her

The palace man looked at his son.

Who would have thought that with just a blink of an eye from the old man, the little master would not know where he was going. When he heard that the child had disappeared, Situ Xue was so frightened that his heart stopped suddenly.

"Then why don't you go find it!" She knew that the child was just at the age where he was curious about everything and liked to run around, and he didn't know where he was going if he didn't pay attention.This was not the time to punish the servants who took care of the little master's disadvantages, Situ Xue immediately asked the servants to notify His Royal Highness the Prince, and sent the servants around him to look for the child.

As long as someone did not deliberately take the child away, the child must still be in this temple.

"Send more people to look for it, and we must find the child." The prince knew that his son was missing, so he immediately asked his confidant eunuch to arrange more people to search secretly.

This side is in a hurry to find someone, and over there Li Wen is holding Xiaoshizi and feeding him snacks.

Fortunately, Li Wen also knew to ask the palace servants to inform the Crown Princess that the child was with him.

The palace servants who walked quickly passed the words to the princess. Situ Xue only felt that in this short period of time, her heart fell from a high place to a low place, and her heart was still beating, "Go and talk to your highness." Let me know that Xuan'er has been found. The rest of you should come back, there is no need to look for it."

This time, Situ Xue didn't send palace servants to pick up his son, but went there by himself.

Seeing the concubine bringing a group of people over, Li Wen handed over the little dumpling that was eating snacks in his hand, "I think Xiao Shizi must be hungry, I just ate half a piece of pastry for Xiao Shizi, ma'am Go back and give Xiao Shizi some water and some porridge by the way." It's too late now, hard food is not easy for children to digest, and the food in the palace is probably not suitable for children.

The child returned to A Niang's arms and called out sweetly, "Mother."

Situ Xue's eyes turned red, "I also want to thank Li Liuyuan today."

"You're welcome, it's just a trivial matter." Li Wen saw the carefree child in the mother's arms, and he didn't know that he almost scared his own mother to death. This child should be educated .However, matters related to education later will not be under his control.

After receiving the child, the princess said a few words of thanks and left with the child in her arms.

Yang Shaomu knew that the child had been found very quickly, and asked people to inform the people below that there was no need to look for the child.At this moment, the crown prince carried the child to the crown prince's place, and explained to the crown prince how to find the child. Yang Shaomu saw that the crown prince and the child were tired, so he arranged for someone to escort the crown prince and the child back first.

When they came out of the palace, the people who visited the night market were almost gone.

The lanterns hanging on the street were still on, and the two of them were walking on the street. Li Wen recalled the scene of the two of them visiting the lanterns last year.Li Wen turned his head to look at the man beside him, and asked, "When you heard the emperor say to marry me, were you afraid?"

"Afraid!" The man replied without any hesitation. At that time, he was indeed afraid that the emperor would marry his young man.

"Then if the emperor wants to marry me, do you want to watch me marry someone else?" In fact, Li Wen was really curious about how Zhao Xiangyi would answer this question.He guessed that this man should not.

Thinking that the young man might marry another woman, Zhao Xiangyi's heart felt worse than someone stabbing him with a knife, but his answer was beyond Li Wen's expectation, "If you want to marry, I respect you. If you don't want to, I will definitely take you away!"

He couldn't imagine that the person he loved married another woman. If his young man really married another woman, he would definitely not want to stay here in the capital and watch the person he loved marry other women. fall in love.Thinking that there would be another woman in the boy's bed, he wished to tear the woman who might appear, but if this person liked him, he could do nothing...

"No." As if knowing what the man was thinking, Li Wen reached out to hold the man's hand and said, "There won't be such a day, I won't marry any other woman. Apart from you, There will be no other man, or woman, you should have some confidence in yourself." He didn't know that this man had so little confidence in himself.

If this man recognized him, he would only have this man in his heart.

"Mmm^" Zhao Xiangyi clenched the young man's hand with his backhand, holding it tightly, as if he was afraid that the young man would run away.

The man held his hand tightly, but the strength didn't hurt him. Li Wen glanced at the man, the corner of his mouth curled up, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"I haven't eaten anything in the palace tonight, let's find a place to eat something."

"Okay." Zhao Xiangyi looked at the boy's side face, and remembered the boy's appearance in his heart. This is his person, and he will be his person in this life, every generation after life!He will never give it up to others, and no one can separate them.

Fortunately, at this time, although the people shopping in the night market have almost left, some small stalls on the street have not been cleared away, and there are still stalls selling food.The two found a small stall, each ate a bowl of chaos, and bought some sesame seed cakes and other food.

I was afraid that if I ate too much at night, my stomach would swell and I would not be able to sleep. When I was seventy percent full, Li Wen dared not eat.The rest went into Zhao Xiangyi's stomach. Li Wen looked at the man who ate more than him. The man's figure is still so good, with muscles on his abdomen piece by piece!Jealousy is not enough to describe his mood!

Jealousy makes me unrecognizable! ...

"Huh?" Little General Zhao was a little confused, why did the young man look at him like this?The angry boy looked extremely cute in his eyes, and he wanted to reach out and touch the boy's face, but they were outside right now, and someone was watching.

Hold on, wait until you go back...

... The man's throat rolled, and when he got back, he could do anything he wanted to the boy.

Fifteen is round, and there is a bright moon hanging in the sky.

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, the moon is full and people are reunited. Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a holiday with the family. I don’t know if the parents and grandma at home are all well. Xiaobao and the others should all be home by this time, Li Wen thinking in my heart.

Probably he was the only one missing for the family reunion, and I felt a little sad for no reason.

but--

Turning his head to look at the man walking beside him, Li Wen didn't feel so sad in his heart, he still had this man by his side.If he went back to spend Zhongqiu with his family, he would definitely not be able to spend it with Zhao Xiangyi

"I hope that every mid-autumn festival in the future will be celebrated by us alone." Li Wen looked at Zhao Xiangyi and said

"Well, let's live together." The corners of Zhao Xiangyi's mouth curled up slightly, obviously because of the young man's words, he was in a good mood.

After walking around the street, it was getting late, so they went back together.

Of course, Li Wen walked in through the main entrance, and someone climbed over the wall to enter...
