The emperor also led his family to watch the lights turn on in the palace. After the phoenix at the inner city gate was completely lit up, the accompanying relatives and relatives all wished him a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
The emperor agreed with a smile, and watched the lanterns and the moon with everyone.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is very simple. Because the queen mother is seriously ill, there is no banquet for all the officials, and even the foreign vassals who came to Beijing were not summoned. The emperor only called the royal family who came to Beijing to have a reunion dinner in the palace, and then looked at the moon together Let them go out to play by themselves.
Others can still run outside, but unmarried princesses like Changyu and Mingda can't go out, Prince Gong is still recovering from his injuries, and can't even attend the palace banquet.
So the two sisters looked at the prince eagerly.
The prince didn't notice, he was condescendingly looking down at Chang'an, which was as bright as day, and was weighing in his heart whether to go to his other courtyard for a while to drink, or to call his friends to gather at his father-in-law's house, or to go out to a restaurant
Seeing that the prince died without looking back, Changyu could only shake Mingda's hand.
Mingda really couldn't resist her, so he could only turn around and look for the princess.
The prince refused to take them out of the palace, "It's very chaotic outside tonight, what are you doing out there when you have nothing to do? Father and queen will definitely not agree."
Changyu didn't dare to say anything.
Mingda laughed and said, "We will follow brother and not run around. There will be no danger where brother is."
Prince: ... What's the matter with his two younger sisters when he went to drink
Ming Da said: "Brother, as Zhou Man said, you can't drink too much. Although there are three people in the East Palace who are pregnant, you can't let it go."
Yes, a few days ago, a concubine of the prince was found to be pregnant again. Although the third child was not born and the gender was unknown, the prince and concubine were still very happy.
Now that he was happy, he discounted it a little bit, the prince pondered for a while, did he dare not refuse, this child Mingda was not afraid of him, she would definitely sue her father, queen and queen.
The prince had no choice but to tell the emperor and queen that he would take Mingda and the others out for a walk.
The emperor agreed immediately, he looked at his two daughters and said with a smile: "Maybe you haven't been out of the palace for a long time, you might as well go for a walk, just bring the guards with you, don't go to places with too many people, so as not to be crowded. "
Then he turned to the prince and said, "Take care of your sisters."
The prince reluctantly complied.
As soon as he left the palace, Mingda said: "Brother Prince, please ask someone to take us to Zhuangyuan Building."
The prince glanced at them and asked, "What are you doing in the Zhuangyuan Building?"
"Zhou Man is there."
The prince gritted his teeth, and guessed that they were going to find Zhou Man, and Zhou Man might have been instigated to leave the palace.
Knowing nothing, Zhou Man couldn't help but sneezed.
Bai Shan reached out to grab her hand and touched it, "Is it cold?"
Man Bao shook his head, "Maybe it's because of a cold wind just now, so it's okay to sneeze."
The night is coming, all the lights are on, and everyone is eager to go to the Lantern Market, but the most important hurdle on the first floor of the Zhuangyuan Building has just begun.
Zhuangyuan Building posted a new topic, this time it was about policy theory, policy theory occupies a large proportion in the Jinshi examination, Bai Shan also wanted to check his own level, and several people in Chongwen Museum also wanted to test their level.
For example, Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang, they also took paper and pen to directly occupy a table and write essays.
Zhao Liulang and the others were not interested in this, they just watched the fun and didn't participate, but they lowered their voices and spoke.
Bai Dalang and his classmates also wanted to participate, Bai Shan took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Bai Dalang and the others, lest they have to run downstairs.
Zhao Liulang and the others sat drinking and chatting at another table. They didn't know what they said, and a dozen of them laughed obscenely.
Man Bao looked around and felt that he had nothing to do, so he ran to the window to look at the topic, then came back and sat down to write an article.
The competitions are all time-limited, after a stick of incense passed, the gong was knocked, and Bai Shan and the others handed over the written articles to the guys for them to take with them.
There are quite a few people who will be in Zhuangyuan Building than this topic. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, so many literati crowded here to express their opinions on national policies, so that officials of the imperial court, doctors of the Imperial Academy and nobles of the family can see their political opinions and articles. Get famous for it.
After the evaluation, regardless of the ranking, the written articles can be posted on the wall of the Zhuangyuan Building, and they will not go there for a month.
After writing an article, Man Bao was hungry successfully, so he sat back to his seat to eat food. Zhao Liulang called friends and wanted to change places to play after watching the results of this game.
He winked at Bai Shan and said, "Do you want to go with us?"
Man Bao on the side asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
Lu Yue, who was diagonally opposite, said with a smile that was not a smile: "Of course I'm going to a fun place, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for Mr. Zhou."
Everyone at the same table was silent, and it was difficult for everyone to talk. Zhao Liulang frowned, and Feng Zongping kicked Lu Yue directly under the table, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Feng Zongping turned his head and said to Man Bao: "Let's change places to drink, and you don't like drinking, so go guess the lantern riddles."
Others also blamed Lu Yue in a low voice, and Zhou Man was not someone else. He was also a member of the Chongwen Museum, and everyone attended classes together. Not to mention that they were classmates, Zhou Man still had the job of editing.
How can you make such a joke with her
Man Bao glanced at everyone, then looked at Lu Yue, stretched out his hand to take the bottle of wine and poured a glass of wine, and said to him: "Lu Yue, you have to drink less wine, you know? Your eyes are blue and black, The tongue coating is white and greasy, the kidney qi is insufficient, and if you are addicted to alcohol, you will have to come to see a doctor in the future."
She imitated his smile and said: "After all, in the whole capital, my disease is cured the best."
Now not only the people at the table on this side became quiet, but also the people at the next table. After a while, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Zhao Liulang patted the table and said cheerfully, "It's okay, I'll lend you a loan if you don't have enough money for the medicine later, so you can play casually."
Bai Shan picked up his lips and smiled.
Lu Yue's face turned dark.
They may not know what illness Zhou Man is best at, but she is the best cure in the capital city, and there are only two illnesses that others can't help. One is dissection and laparotomy, and the other is male infertility.
He cured the crown prince and became famous all over the world.
The atmosphere started to become lively again, everyone toasted and wished, Man Bao drank up the wine in the glass and concentrated on eating,
It took half an hour for the judges to judge, and finally decided that the first place was a student named Wang Wenji of Guozixue.
As soon as his name came out, everyone in the private room said: "So it's him."
Man Bao has also heard his name, and heard that he is very good in Guozixue, but this year is his fourth year in Guozixue.
Feng Zongping said: "Originally he was going to take the Jinshi examination last year, but I heard that his family would not let him, so he was holding on to staying in Guozixue for another two years. This year he let him go next year. I think next year Most of the top picks are him."
