The hero is broken again

"Lian'er's savior?" The queen was suspicious, her eyes scanning Yu Wei and Qi Fei who were standing with their heads bowed.

"Lian'er, is what your prince brother said true?"

Yang Qinglian bit her lower lip, looked up at the brother prince who gave her an encouraging smile, and then made up her mind and said: "Back, back to mother..."

"The Emperor is here—"

"The Concubine Luo is here—"

Hearing the eunuch's report, the plan was interrupted again, Yang Qingjun's eyes darkened, and seeing the yellow robe getting closer, although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to hurry to salute.

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Excuse me," the emperor looked coldly at the empress who seemed to have been dressed up, "why did the empress come to the imperial garden today?"

Could it be that the people around him leaked the news that he would also come here?The emperor squinted his eyes, suppressing the displeasure in his heart.

"Back to the emperor, my concubine heard the crown prince said that the flowers in the imperial garden were blooming, so I came here to enjoy the flowers. I didn't want to meet Mr. Yu and his party here." When the queen nodded and answered, her eyes were fixed on the standing The concubine next to the emperor.

The emperor said: "Yu Aiqing was ordered by me to enter the palace. Concubine Luo and his family have not seen each other for many years, so I want Concubine Luo and his family to catch up on the old days."

After finishing speaking, he put the queen aside, turned to smile and looked at Yu Luo who was full of joy and tears in his eyes, and said softly: "My concubine, I will let him have dinner with you in the palace today, so you can catch up on the old days and say say."

Yu Luo quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed, patted Concubine Luo's hand, turned to Yu Tang and said, "Yu Qing's family, hurry up and bring the people behind you over."

After Yu Wei and his party came over, the emperor smiled playfully and asked Yu Luo if he could still recognize them.

Yu Luo looked at Yu Wei who was winking mischievously at him behind his elder brother, and nodded with tears in his eyes, almost speechless.

"Your Majesty, that is my younger brother named Yu Wei. He was only five years old when I left home."

"The grassroots have met the emperor." Because he has no official position, Yu Wei can only call himself a grassroots man when he goes up to greet him.

The emperor saw that he didn't show any signs of panic when he saw himself as the emperor for the first time, instead he was not humble and said nothing, with a radiant look and an air of nobleness all over him, he couldn't help but secretly nodded in his heart.

He looked at it for a while, stroked his chin and said with a smile: "I see that you have beautiful features, but there is a heroic spirit between your eyebrows, you probably don't practice martial arts."

Yu Weidao: "Back to the emperor, Caomin has indeed practiced martial arts since childhood, and he has learned it pretty well."

"Haha Concubine Ai, your younger brother is not modest."

Yu Luo smiled and said: "Don't blame the emperor, my younger brother's bluntness has not changed." But Yan Luo secretly gave Yu Wei a look, saying that he is still naughty at this time.

Yu Wei raised his eyebrows and smiled.

He chose to reply like this because he analyzed that Emperor Dayan is a person who likes to listen to the truth.

After the emperor finished asking, he secretly took another look at Qi Fei who was standing silently. His face was as handsome as a girl but without losing his handsome demeanor. He was only about 16 years old and could win the first place in the middle school exam. This is a must for Dayan Talents.

Today I also saw the person who will try for the first name, and he did not disappoint him. The emperor was very happy, and said that there were still many things to deal with in the previous court, so he led the empress and his party who had not intervened so far.

He reserved a space in the imperial garden for Yu Wei and his family to reminisce about the old days.

Yu Wei, who secretly saw the emperor's scrutiny just now, said in his eyes, the emperor really valued Qi Fei as the book said, and he frowned thinking that the emperor's life span in the book was not long.

If the emperor dies, then the crown prince will take the throne naturally. Thinking of the prince's behavior of wooing their Yu family but being rejected by the public, it will not affect Qi Fei's official career.

After all, judging by the appearance of the prince, he is also a person who must take revenge.

"I see that Ayu has been frowning since he came back from the palace. Why?"

Qi Fei frowned and asked, picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Yu Wei who was lying on the table, Yu Wei naturally opened his mouth and he fed it into his mouth.

The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus cake filled his mouth, and Yu Wei's mood improved a bit, and he was in the mood to speak.

"The palace examination will start soon, and you are one step closer to becoming an official."

Qi Fei gave an "um" and waited for him to continue speaking.

Yu Weidao: "If you become an official and find out that you are not being reused by the emperor, what will you do?"

Qi Fei almost didn't think about it, and said bluntly: "Resign."

Yu Wei sat up straight with a "teng" sound, his face showing anxiety, "How can you resign? If you are not reused, then you will wait for the next emperor to reuse you."

Qi Fei didn't react when he heard his rebellious words, but a hint of doting flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Okay, then I will not resign."

No matter what Yu Wei thinks, if Qi Fei really has to wait for the next emperor to reuse him, when will he have to wait? If the emperor lives to be a hundred years old, will his mission of helping Qi Fei become a generation of loyal ministers never be completed? up?

Thinking of this, Yu Wei had a headache, and he hoped that the old emperor would live a long life.

As a result, Yu Wei did not expect the emperor to live a long life. Instead, a few days before the palace examination, he hoped for the news that the emperor suddenly fell ill and fell ill.

Yu Wei: "..."

Until the day before the palace examination, the emperor's illness did not recover, almost to the point that he could not go to the ground, which made Yu Wei now particularly suspicious that the emperor he saw in the palace last time was not a real person.

Because of this, the emperor decreed that the right and left ministers would come up with questions for the palace examination, and because the prince voluntarily proposed to serve the sick, the emperor ordered the eldest prince to be in charge of supervising the examinations of all the tribute officials.

Historically, the palace examination is only for one day, to be exact, two to three hours, because the palace examination is not like the Chunweiqiuqiu examination, which is a lot of questions such as policy questions, poems, essays, etc. Instead, it only tests the new subjects. topic of policy.

Policy theory is generally the emperor of the current dynasty asks questions about economics, history, political affairs, current affairs, etc., and the scholars of Xinke make countermeasures and arguments to examine their academic level and understanding of national government affairs[Note].

This year's imperial examination questions were changed to those given by the left and right prime ministers together because the emperor was ill.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the ethos of emphasizing literature over military affairs is in full swing, and this ethos has a great influence among the people. Many poor families are almost at the point of selling their fields, and they also want to support a scholar. The idea that Qingyan can be an official in the court.

There are about 200 Xinke Gongshi participating in the palace examination this time, including those from high-ranking noble families, and some from rich and noble families, but the most Gongshi are actually from ordinary backgrounds.

At [-] o'clock, Qi Fei wore the same tribute uniform as them, and led by the servant, walked through the Gate of Supreme Harmony, and slowly stepped into the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

After the Palace Examination, there will be a Grand Ceremony to announce the rankings. Generally, it takes three days to wait patiently. During these three days, it is time for the chief examiners to review the examination papers. In fact, if there are no special circumstances, the tributes who have participated in the examination will generally become Jinshi.

However, whether one can become a Jinshi is determined by the results of the last palace examination, and the three grades will be directly divided into high and low.The first three people, the number one scholar, the second place, and the third flower, are all awarded Jinshi and the first place; the second and third best are awarded Jinshi's background and fellow Jinshi's background [Note].

It was the minister who was in charge of marking the examination papers to judge the ranking, but the emperor had the right to decide the ranking of the top ten.

During the three days of reviewing the examination papers to determine the rankings, there was a rumor inside and outside the palace. It was said that the emperor’s health had not recovered, but after seeing the student examination papers presented by the prime minister and listening to the prime minister’s brilliant political articles, I repeatedly sighed that God bless me, Great Yan Dynasty, this year there have been so many talents with outstanding literary talents.

The emperor was very happy, and even his health improved a lot, which shows how urgently Dayan is in need of civil servants.

Dragon Saliva Hall.

The right minister bowed towards the dragon bed and saluted, "Your Majesty, here are the test papers and name files for the top ten candidates in the imperial examination decided by the ministers."

Regarding the content of the top ten articles, the emperor had already heard them read them, but he did not know which student wrote these ten good articles.

Hearing that they had picked up the 'fuzzy names' on the test paper, the emperor hurriedly waved his hand to call people, coughing and said: "Prince, please read their names."

Yang Qingjun took the test paper presented by the minister on the right, looked down at the name of the test paper headed by him, a sneer twisted from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes quickly flicked a dark look.

"One first and one first, Qi Fei, Pingxi, Jiangnan."

"First and second place, Yun..."

After the crown prince had read them one by one, the right minister frowned and remained silent, and hurriedly asked respectfully, "Your majesty, this ranking was decided by the examiners unanimously, but what's wrong with it?"

The emperor waved his hands, and said with a smile: "I see that Qi Fei, who is number one, has a handsome appearance, which is quite suitable for my title of Great Yan Tan Hualang."

Prime Minister on the right was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the prince who was standing by the bed, and after receiving the instruction from the prince's eyes, he bent down and said, "I will follow the emperor's will."

Three days later, the Chuanlu Grand Ceremony began, the drums were played, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites in front of the Baohe Hall began to sing the list, and then the eunuchs in front of the hall began to roll the names one by one, and spread them one by one until they reached the ears of the Jinshi.

"One first class, five kings of Jiangdong Lancheng, awarded to the Hanlin Academy for compilation."

"First and second place, Cai Jiu, Yuecheng, Jiangbei, awarded to the Imperial Academy for editing."

[-]. "Three in the first class, Qi Fei in Pingxi, Jiangnan, awarded to the Imperial Academy for editing."

"One in the second class..."

After singing the list, there has always been a custom in the Dayan Dynasty that the No. [-] scholar, No. [-] and Tanhua's top three scholars ride horses and parade through the streets together. flower.

The custom of throwing flowers has been passed down from the previous dynasty. If they threw flowers on their bodies, if they picked up the flowers and put them in their temples, they might have a marriage. Maybe they would come to propose marriage the next day. So these unmarried girls threw themselves at them with all their might.

Early in the morning of the announcement day, Yu Wei took Su Ying'er and sat in a restaurant that Qi Fei and the others had to pass by when they were parading. On the table were flower baskets that had been prepared. There are silk flowers made of cloth.

There was a sound of gongs and drums, and a red procession came out at the corner of the street. The three leaders were wearing brick red official brocade with different patterns and cloaks of the same color.

Obviously looking at the same scenery, Yu Wei caught sight of the freshly baked Tanhualang at a glance.

At this time, it has been a long time since the singing list, and the news about the emperor kissing Tanhualang has also spread to the palace.

The onlookers looked over and found that among the three people parading the street, the number one scholar and the second place were all ordinary-looking middle-aged people, only this time Tan Hualang was not only handsome, but also a handsome young man of about sixteen years old. .

All of a sudden, the girls sitting by the windows on both sides of the street threw flowers at him like crazy.

Seeing this spectacular scene, Wang Wu, the number one scholar who led the horse riding, couldn't help feeling jealous. Although he was middle-aged, he was still unmarried.

After seeing Qi Fei calmly sweeping off the fallen flowers on his body again, Wang Wu twisted his mouth and couldn't help asking: "Qi Tanhua, there are so many girls throwing flowers on you, but none of them match you?" ?”

Cai Jiu, the second-best in the industry, also agreed with a smile.

Qi Fei's posture on the sideburns remained unchanged, he just glanced at the two of them, and said coldly: "I already have a loved one in my heart, so naturally I won't put the flowers thrown by her."

As soon as the words fell, he looked around by the way, trying to find out if the person in his heart was here.After focusing his eyes on a restaurant on the left side not far from the street by the window, Qi Fei, who had always looked indifferent, suddenly had a smile on his lips.

Seeing that he suddenly had a smile on his face, the two said that he thought of his beloved woman, so they echoed, "So that's how it is."

When Wang Wu and Cai Jiu turned around and continued to parade, there was a flash of jealousy in their eyes.

At a young age, the emperor personally ordered Tanhua, and they didn't even worry about major life events, so they couldn't help but be jealous!

The restaurant is by the window.

Seeing that Qi Fei was about to ride by, Yu Wei hurriedly said to Su Yinger: "Sister Yinger, you have to aim at him and throw flowers at him." Then, he took out a handful of flowers from the flower basket and stuffed them in In Su Yinger's hand.

Su Ying'er looked down at Qi Fei's clean red robe, and said with a smile: "I guess if I throw flowers here, they will become fallen flowers just like before."

Yu Wei also glanced down, raised his eyes and said with a smile: "How is it possible, he will definitely put it on!"

Su Ying'er clings to the flower in her hand, looks at Yu Wei with a joyful look between her brows, and smiles without saying a word.

There was a lot of laughter and laughter, bringing many flowers falling from the air, when the people parading down the street took a step closer, the flowers in Su Yinger's hand fell in Qi Fei's direction together with those thrown by others.

The flowers in the flower basket gradually became scarce, but none of them hit Qi Fei on the horse.

Yu Wei frowned and said, "Sister Ying'er, why didn't you throw any of them on Qi Fei."

Su Ying'er rubbed her wrist, "You know that a few days ago, I accidentally twisted my wrist, and I still can't use this force now."

"If not, Wei, why don't you throw flowers?"

Yu Wei opened his eyes wide, "How can I, a man, throw flowers at Qi Fei like a woman!"

Su Ying'er said: "Why don't you just throw it away for me?"

Seeing that Yu Wei hadn't made a decision, Su Ying'er pointed to the crowd below and said, "The team is about to leave."

Yu Wei fixed his eyes and found that Qi Fei was about to pass the restaurant. He couldn't help thinking, and quickly took out a bouquet of flowers from the flower basket, and poured them on the red place below.

At the same time, he softly called out "Qi Fei, go on!"

Hearing the sound, Qi Fei's eyes instantly filled with joy, he clenched the reins with both hands to stop the sideburns from moving forward, and raised his eyes sideways to look to the left side behind him.

Yu Wei, who caught the eye with a smile flowing between his brows, sprinkled a bunch of flowers of different colors around him.

"Idiot! Hurry up and continue!"

Yu Wei's snort brought Qi Fei's mind back, and he moved his hand following the sound, raising his hand to pick up a bunch of light yellow osmanthus flowers.

Seeing that he received the flowers, Yu Wei felt relieved, because the team continued to wander, and he would not have time to see whether Qi Fei put the hairpins on in the future.

But there was one thing that he noticed.

"Sister Ying'er, he didn't sweep away the flowers that were thrown on Qi Fei just now."

Su Ying'er also saw it, and smiled "Mmm".

The parade line was getting longer and longer, and when the group finished the parade and went back to the palace to give their duties, Wang Wu and Cai Jiu suddenly found a pale yellow flower bone in Qi Fei's hairpin.

……

Xinke Scholars need to participate in the Qionglin Banquet to visit the street. At the banquet, there are many new officials and veterans chatting and laughing, and the exchanges are very happy.

This Qionglin banquet was bestowed with official positions, and Yu Wei originally intended to join in the fun with his elder brother, but unexpectedly, he saw a real excitement.

At the beginning of the banquet, the emperor, who was in good health, sat on a high place with the support of his personal eunuch. Just as he was about to announce the start of the Qionglin Banquet, a person rushed from behind the crowd to the front, and knelt down with a bang!

That person loudly and bluntly said that there was fraud in the imperial examination, and the content of his words was directly short of saying that the people who cheated in the imperial examination were the top three of this year's Xinke Scholars!

Since ancient times, when every emperor was on the throne, the most disgusting thing was that some people were playing favoritism and committing crimes, especially in the selection of literary talents that was the most important thing in the Great Yan Dynasty.

The man's words involved several ministers who were the chief examiners of the imperial examination in the previous dynasty and the three No. [-] candidates. The old emperor heard that Long Yan was furious, and directly ordered a joint review and strict investigation!

The Qionglin Banquet this time was the first time that the Yan Dynasty ended in a hurry before it even started.

After returning to the mansion, Yu Wei and his party immediately went to the study to discuss the matter.

Yu Tang frowned and said, "This incident is too strange, and the origin of that person has not been found out yet. I suspect that someone is doing it secretly."

Qi Fei nodded and said: "When listening to what the man said, his expression was calm, as if he had key evidence in his hands."

Yu Tang sighed, "The emperor is furious this time, and he must be strictly investigated! I hope there will be no problems with his health at this time." Then, he whispered to Qi Fei about many secrets of the palace. thing.

Qi Fei listened carefully, his face gradually became serious, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

When the two talked in a low voice, Yu Wei also frowned and thought hard for a while, but his eyes suddenly lit up!He probably knew who the mastermind of this matter was!

This fraud case involved the left and right prime ministers who set the questions, several examiners who marked the papers, the eldest prince and prince who were in charge of supervision, and all the students who participated in the exam.

If it is really a fraud case, then there is a possibility that someone knew the palace examination questions in advance. In this case, someone leaked the examination questions in advance, which involved the two prime ministers who wrote the questions and the person who got the questions.

There is also a possibility that some of the examiners who approved the papers secretly changed the test papers of the candidates, and this involved these examiners and candidates.

However, no matter which of the above two possibilities, the eldest prince and prince who are in charge of supervising the imperial examination are both responsible, and they will definitely not be able to escape punishment.

When Yu Wei recalled the plot in the book, he discovered an interesting thing.There was a crown prince and concubine in the right minister's family, and the left minister was from the same family as the eldest prince's mother.

In the past, the imperial examination fraud cases in history could all involve seizing the heir, Yu Wei guessed, probably this time it is almost the same!

Yu Wei looked up at the two of them, squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Brother, Ah Fei, you should have thought of it too."

A smile flashed across Qi Fei's eyes, then he nodded and said: "Tomorrow, the emperor will probably be able to see the evidence."

"The princes are indeed old." Yu Tang sighed, "Even this time Qi Fei is involved, so I don't know if it will affect his future career."

Yu Wei raised his chin lightly, and said leisurely: "A Fei is the one who clears himself up. After this incident, the emperor will probably order the candidates to take the exam again, and this is the emperor's re-discovery of who is the real talent. A chance to learn."

Qi Fei saw a little pride on his face, and joy in his eyes.

As expected, the imperial examination fraud case was thoroughly investigated by the government for several days, and the Zuo Xiang was found. At the same time, several examiners and some candidates from high-ranking noble families were also involved.

The evidence is conclusive, they didn't even have a chance to complain, their property was confiscated, their official posts were confiscated, the parties involved were imprisoned, and their wives and children were exiled to the frontier.

After the government executed them according to law, the emperor ordered the re-examination of the imperial examination.

On the day when the palace examination was re-opened, the body search was more stringent, and there were two more rows of soldiers on both sides of the palace than before.

Everyone has participated in the palace examination once, and they are not as cautious as last time. Because the emperor made a thorough investigation of the fraud case this time, they were not so panicked when they saw the emperor.

This time, those who were in charge of supervision were those who had not participated in the imperial examination last time, and the one who set the questions was the emperor himself.

Before the re-examination, Qi Fei had some guesses about what questions the emperor would ask, but after getting the questions, it was as expected. The emperor asked about the law of governing the country, and the question said bluntly, "On the governance of the emperor and the principles of the emperor." Heart'.

Qi Fei was already prepared in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he hung his wrist and began to write. The seat for this exam is based on the ranking of the last palace exam, and his seat is ranked third, which is also in front.

The emperor sitting on a high place could see the situation of the leaders at a glance. His eyes only stayed between the original No. [-] scholar and the original No. [-] who were still thinking for a while, and then they couldn't help but fell on Qi who seemed to be writing the article in one go. Fei body.

After the palace examination was over, the emperor ordered the examination papers to be reviewed overnight. This time, the speed was extremely fast, and the results came out in less than two days.

In less than half an hour, the news that Qi Fei, the original Tanhua Lang, was selected as the No. [-] Lang of the Great Yan Dynasty spread throughout the capital.

The number one scholar who is about fifteen years old, and has won the junior three yuan and the big three yuan. It is the first time that such a talent has been produced in the Great Yan Dynasty.In a short time, Qi Fei's name spread almost throughout the Great Yan Dynasty, and this spectacular event was also recorded in the history books by the official historian.

The time was set to the day when the list was released, and on this day, not only the news of being on the list, but also the news that the eldest prince was dismissed from his official position in the court came out.For the sake of fairness and justice, the emperor posted all the articles written by Jinshi on the wall of the capital's tribute courtyard. Anyone who knew the inside story knew that it was related to the original No. [-] and No. [-] in the re-examination.

This time the emperor dismissed the Eldest Prince from his official position, which once again affected the structure of the court. Originally, the Eldest Prince still had the right to compete for the position of Crown Prince. After this incident, the voices about him in the court have gradually disappeared.

In this incident, the crown prince was the biggest winner. Although he was fined his salary, this small amount of money was not worth much to him. In the future, the whole world would be his own.

Hearing the news from the subordinates that the eldest prince had thrown something in the mansion, he laughed in his heart and still didn't know what to say as before. Yang Qingjun smiled at the corner of his mouth and took a sip of tea with his head down holding the teacup.

Due to the imperial examination fraud case, several court ministers were dismissed, and the court was in urgent need of talents. The emperor directly appointed several freshly released Jinshi this time to fill in the gaps.

After the Yu Mansion received the letter of appointment from the palace, they were surprised to find that Qi Fei was not appointed by the Imperial Academy to compile, but was directly appointed as an Imperial Academy scholar after working a few years less than the previous number one scholar.

In order not to arouse necessary political discussion, the emperor swiped his pen, and the other two No. [-] and Tanhua were appointed as Hanlin editors.

From today, Qi Fei officially embarked on the road of court official.

Yu Wei was the happiest one after seeing the letter of appointment, even happier than Qi Fei himself. With an order, they drank wine to celebrate at night.

Yu Weiben had the physique of pouring down a glass, but today he didn't know why he didn't pass out immediately after drinking a glass, but he could tell the fact that he was already drunk just by looking at the blush on his cheeks.

At this time, Yu Wei was pulling Qi Fei who was beside him, holding a wine glass to his mouth, insisting on letting him drink it down, this is already the seventh cup he made Qi Fei drink.

Yu Tang was about to admonish him when he saw Qi Fei drink the wine obediently with his head down, and then poured another glass into his younger brother's hand, and then Yu Wei naturally raised the glass to Qi Fei's mouth with a smile side.

Looking at Qi Fei who couldn't hide the smile between the corners of his mouth and eyebrows, "...", Yu Tang swallowed back the words he wanted to stop.

Tomorrow, Qi Fei still had to prepare for the appointment, so the few of them didn't stay any longer and left Yu Wei's courtyard directly.

Qi Fei waved back the ingot that was coming to help Yu, and ordered: "Go to the small kitchen and make some hangover soup."

After Yuan Bao left, he put his hand on Yu Wei's shoulder and half-carried him into the room.

After undressing and scrubbing, and helping him put on new clothes, Yuan Bao happened to enter the room with two servings of hangover soup.

Qi Fei who was sitting by the bed looked up and said, "Give it to me directly."

Yuan Bao said "ah", "Master Qi, you haven't bathed and changed yet, let me feed you."

Qi Fei frowned, and drank a bowl of hangover soup first, "No, you go back to rest first, I will take care of you here, and I will tell the servants to bring a bucket of hot water to my room later."

Yuan Bao had no choice but to do things as ordered, and returned to the yard where he lived after the hot water was delivered.

When there were two people left in the room, Qi Fei's indifferent brow softened a lot, and he lowered his eyes to stare at A Yu who was lying with his eyes closed for a while.

Not long after, his soft voice calling "Ayu" sounded in the room.

In his sleep, Yu Wei only felt that there was a mosquito buzzing in his ears all the time, but he opened his mouth to call his name, Yu Wei finally opened his eyes so dizzy.

Qi Fei half-supported him, looked down at the boy's eyes that were red when he opened, and said with distress: "Ayu, drink this before going to bed, you won't have a headache after drinking it."

Yu Wei stared at the bowl in his hand for a while, and a look of grievance suddenly appeared on his face, "I won't drink it."

Qi Fei was slightly stunned, this was the first time he saw A Yu showing such an expression, A Yu looked wronged as if he had been bullied, which made the distress in his eyes almost materialized.

In order to calm Yu Wei's emotions, Qi Fei lowered his voice very softly, and asked along with his words, "Ayu, why doesn't Ayu want to drink it?"

Yu Wei was confused for a while, as if he couldn't find a reason, he just insisted on saying, "You want me to drink, but I don't want to drink."

Qi Fei couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, knowing that he couldn't resist the headache the most, if he didn't drink at this time, he would wake up with a headache the next day, so he patiently coaxed him to drink a few sips before taking a rest.

Unexpectedly, it would be very difficult for the person who was woken up to fall asleep again, Yu Wei tugged on Qi Fei's sleeve, his eyes were shining brightly, and asked Qi Fei to read to him.

Qi Fei leaned back against the edge of the bed, looked sideways at him and said, "What does Ayu want to hear?"

Yu Wei seemed to be thinking about it seriously, and suddenly asked with a wink, "What did you often read when you were young?"

Qi Fei smiled after thinking about it, lowered his eyes slightly and said: "When I was young, I often recited the first poem I learned."

Yu Wei turned around, looked at him and said, "Then read this to me, I will listen to this and sleep."

After Qi Fei helped him tuck the corner of the quilt, the corner of his mouth curled up and said: "Okay."

"The sun, the moon, and the five stars are called the seven political states...the two stars who participate in the merchants will not see each other when they come and go; the ox and the girl will spend two nights, but they will meet once on the Qixi Festival..."

Qi Fei's voice became clearer and clearer, so sweet that Yu Wei immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep in a drowsy state.

When the sound of shallow breathing sounded in the room, Qi Fei's voice of reciting poems also became smaller and smaller.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open carefully, and the servant asked, "Master Qi, the hot water in your room is already cold, you need to boil another bucket and send it over."

Qi Fei glanced at the person at the door, and said calmly: "Don't bother, you guys go back and rest too."

The servant led the order to go out and closed the door before leaving.

The servants of Yu Wei's courtyard discovered that the young master's room had been lit with candles all night, while the servants of Qi Fei's courtyard discovered that their courtyard master had not come back all night.

-

Qi Fei went out to work every day, and Yu Wei, who was rather boring, took on the role of the old dandy young master again, and became famous in the dandy circle in the capital.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was also Yu Wei's birthday, but unfortunately, the emperor had already ordered a moon appreciation banquet in the palace.

Since the previous dynasties, there have been no customized requirements for banquets. Concubines, princes, princes, county kings, and civil and military courtiers can attend banquets once they are "appointed" by the emperor [Note].

Now the concubine Luo is being favored in the palace, Yu Wei who has no official position, sister-in-law and Su Ying'er who have no imperial orders are all honored by this royal status, and are allowed a place to attend the banquet.

On the eve of the banquet, the person in charge of the meal goes in first to set the table. The vegetable soup has a bowl cover, which will be opened at the beginning of the banquet. The tea soup on the table, such as the tea soup made with milk and salt tea leaves, is supplied by the imperial tea house. Various types of snacks are served, and the main meals are provided by the Imperial Dining Room[Note].

In the usual palace banquets, in fact, almost no one touched the things placed on them. Many people attending the banquet thought that they would not miss the opportunity to meet important people, and almost all the time was used for socializing.

When the time for the palace banquet arrived, the ministers took their seats according to their official positions, because Qi Fei is now a high-ranking official, and the seat was with the officials, while Yu Wei and the rest of the group sat at the end of the table, here Almost all of them are family members who have no orders to attend the banquet.

Others were whispering all kinds of gossip, while Yu Wei squinted his eyes and drank soup tea that looked like milk tea. His sweet taste could not help showing a satiated expression on his face.

The two were very far apart, and occasionally people would block their view. Qi Fei looked sideways at Ayu at the end, and couldn't help clenching his fists tightly.

"The Emperor is here—"

"The empress is here—"

"His Royal Highness is here—"

"See Your Majesty, Empress, Your Highness the Prince."

After the emperor sat down with the empress, he looked at the people in the stands, and said with a smile on his face, "Everyone's family is flat."

Everyone shouted thanks, got up and sat down again, the emperor announced the official start of the moon feast.

All of a sudden, the passing of food, the conversation of conversation, a scene of interlacing.

Halfway through the banquet, the emperor put down his jade chopsticks and sighed: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. This Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a family banquet, a time to enjoy the moon with your family. I set up this palace banquet to enjoy the moon with everyone. Lovers, just treat this place as your home."

The queen added: "Today, the palace and the emperor will also enjoy the moon in the imperial garden with everyone."

Now the right minister of the imperial court has become the only prime minister. Among the ministers, he has the highest official position, so he is the first to kneel down and shout long live.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and Yu Wei, who was hidden by the crowd at the end, was lazy.

After about one stick of incense, the eunuch guarding outside came in and informed that the moon was all over the sky, and the emperor ordered everyone to go to the imperial garden.

Appreciating the moon will meet writing poems, so when they arrive at the imperial garden, they are divided into several factions.The civil servants gathered around and wrote poems excitedly. The voice of the poem was so loud that it seemed to be heard by the emperor on purpose. A few swear words will pop up, such as "xx, the moon is so round today" and other unrefined swear words.

Yu Wei, who was passing by, saw his elder brother mingling with the military officer faction with his rough looks, and he couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes when he heard "I'm so big, so round, so bright" that popped out of his mouth.

Instead of continuing to go to other places, he turned back to the original road and called over the sister-in-law who was chatting with other wives. He was afraid that Su Ying'er's ears would be dirty later, so he didn't call her over.

Yu Wei kept smiling at his elder brother who was pulled out by the ears, and he didn't seem to step forward to help when his eyes asked for help. It happened that Qi Fei came to him at this time, and he shared this interesting story with him.

Qi Fei looked at Big Brother Yu Tang who was smiling and pleading in front of him, and his eyes fell on Yu Wei who was covering his stomach and smiling, and couldn't help but smile.

At the banquet, the step of meeting the husband and son-in-law is also impossible. If there is an unmarried child in the family members of the princes and ministers, usually the parents will gather together to communicate, and the wives with high-rank orders will take advantage of the emperor The queen was delighted by the opportunity and asked for a will for their child.

It's just that the emperor didn't expect that his sixth daughter, Princess Qinglian, would also beg him.

Yilan Pavilion.

The emperor looked at his daughter who was standing with her head hanging in front of her, frowned and asked, "What do you mean, don't you already have someone you like?"

Yang Qinglian raised her face, her cheeks were blushing, and nodded to the emperor.

The emperor pondered for a while, then suddenly asked with a smile: "I remember that you were still arguing to marry your savior a while ago? Why did you change your mind so quickly?"

Hearing this, Yang Qinglian hurriedly explained: "Back to Father, the person I said I like just now is my savior, and I have found him some time ago."

"Oh?" The emperor was surprised, "Since you have come to ask for orders, Lian'er, that person must be at the banquet now."

Yang Qinglian lowered her head in embarrassment, and then nodded slightly.

The emperor laughed, looked around and said, "Who is that person? I'm going to call him to see who has such great ability to marry my daughter!"

When Yang Qinglian heard it, she knew that her father had already agreed to the will, and she was overjoyed.

The emperor also said that the saviors mentioned by his daughter would be the accompanying family members of the ministers, those noble children who can often go out to play, these people are not very familiar to him as the emperor, so he asked his daughter to point it out to him, and he asked the personal eunuch Quietly call him over to see each other.

He thought to himself, if he, the emperor, doesn't like that person at first sight, then it's better to stop thinking about his daughter early.

From the beginning of the banquet, Yang Qinglian's eyes could hardly be separated from the figure of her savior, so her father asked her to identify him, and she quickly pointed to a remote place beside the guide, then bowed her head and remained silent.

The emperor followed her finger
