Qi Yang stayed in the courtyard for one night, and went back to the palace early the next morning.
Recently, all his thoughts have been on Lu Qipei, Qi Yang forgot the day for a while, only after Zhi Ting reminded him that it should be the day of the palace exam. She recalled it and remembered that two of the top three young talents in this spring were young talents from poor families, and they all met the requirements of her father and emperor to recruit a son-in-law, and it was a good story that the champion or the tanhualang bestowed the princess. !
In the past life, Lu Qipei shined brightly, crushing everyone else in the same department, but now Qi Yang is afraid that her father's mind will be overheated, so it's good to look at other people - although this possibility is extremely low , but she didn't dare to take any risk.
Thinking of this, Qi Yang hurried back to the palace, and by the way brought along the drawings of the Princess Mansion that she and Lu Qipei planned last night.
After entering the palace, Qi Yang would never go to the Xuande Hall where the palace examination was held. In fact, the whole palace examination lasted for almost a day, and it was impossible for the emperor and his ministers to wait there for a whole day. Therefore, the emperor mostly just went to sit for half an hour, and after showing his face, he would go back to the Xuanshi Hall, rest when it was time to rest, and still handle government affairs when it was time to deal with it.
Qi Yang went directly to the Xuanshi Hall, and when he looked at the sky, it was not too early, and he thought that the emperor would have been idle as usual. Unexpectedly, he was stopped as soon as he walked outside the front hall. It was Zhang Jian, the eunuch in charge of the Xuanshi Hall.
Facing Qi Yang, Zhang Jian was respectful. After stopping the person, he said, "Your Highness, please stay behind. Your Majesty is discussing matters with the courtiers in the palace."
The princesses of the Liang Kingdom have never had a precedent for discussing politics. Most of them influence the court situation through their consorts after marriage. Therefore, the princesses are not easy to show up when the courtiers are discussing affairs. Of course Qi Yang knew the rules and wouldn't push hard. He frowned and said, "Then I'll go back first and come back later."
Zhang Jian smiled, agreed, and bowed down to send her away.
It's just that Qi Yang just turned around, but he hasn't taken a step yet. After thinking about it, he suddenly turned around and asked, "It's almost two hours since the early morning ended, and we are still discussing things at this time. Is there something big in the court? ?"
Zhang Jian hesitated after listening to the question, but after thinking about it, he replied in a low voice: "This morning there was a battle report from the northern border, and it seems that there has been another change in the northern army. After the court, His Majesty and all the adults discussed matters in the palace, even today's palace test. It doesn't matter."
This is not a secret, especially the news related to the battle report can never be concealed, and it often takes half a day to spread to the public and the public. After hearing this, Qi Yang thanked Zhang Jian, but when he turned to leave, he was thinking: Was there a war in the northern border at this time in the previous life? It seems not. However, in her previous life, she had met Lu Qipei not long ago. The two were either traveling in the mountains and water, or talking about the past and the present, and they really didn't focus on politics.
Qi Yang took two steps full of doubts when suddenly he heard the door behind him open with a creak. She looked back again, and saw several important ministers in crimson uniforms filed out. Although their faces were not relaxed, they did not seem to be much solemn.
Several courtiers were also a little surprised when they saw Her Royal Highness, and they all saluted and said hello before leaving together.
Seeing this, Qi Yang stood outside the Xuan chamber hall and waited for a while, but as expected, he waited for the prince who came out two steps later.
Seeing her waiting outside the palace, the crown prince was also a little surprised, so he took the initiative to meet her and asked, "Why is the imperial sister waiting here?" Once it’s built, if there’s anything missing, please tell the emperor, you’re welcome.”
Qi Yang laughed when he heard this, his eyebrows and eyes were very cute: "Thank you, brother, I won't be polite to you." After speaking, he straightened his face and asked, "I'm here to talk to the emperor. The matter of the princess' mansion is still under discussion in the Xuanshi Hall. Zhang Jian just told me that there is a battle report from the northern border today, Brother Huang, is there a fight in the north again?"
Hearing the words, the prince glanced at Zhang Jian who was beside him, Zhang Jian's face was sullen and he smiled bitterly in his heart - anyway, let's wait for him to walk away, I have never seen Princess Qiyang betray him so neatly!
Fortunately, this is not a big deal. Of course, Zhang Jian will not tell Qi Yang if it is really confidential. After the prince took his eyes back, he did not hesitate to say a few words to his sister: "It's okay, Huangmei doesn't have to worry, now Rong Di is only in the north of Chen Bing, and there is no war."
But isn't Chen Bing a harbinger of war? Qi Yang frowned, thinking of his previous life again, he didn't know what to say.
The prince misunderstood Qi Yang's meaning, and seeing her frowning, he raised his hand and rubbed her head gently, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Huangmei, even if there is a change in the northern border, there will still be soldiers who will fight hard to kill the enemy. The princess has nothing to do with it." After speaking, she winked at her again: "The emperor is in a hurry to build the mansion now, so it's better to concentrate on it. After all, the mansion is repaired, so you can talk about other things."
Qi Yang was so dissatisfied that he couldn't care about the war in the northern Xinjiang after he said a few words, and muttered, "Brother Huang is making fun of me."
The prince laughed again, with a relaxed expression, and it seemed that he did not take the changes in the northern border too seriously.
The two stood outside the hall and said a few words, and there was an inner servant in the Xuanshi hall to pass the news. The prince had other government affairs to do, so the brothers and sisters separated without saying a few words.
The renovation of the Princess Mansion was not very big, and the emperor quickly approved it. Looking at the handsome handwriting annotated on the drawing, there is no need for Qi Yang to say anything more. How could the emperor fail to understand her little thought
The emperor, who had dealt with government affairs, had time to spare, so he left Qi Yang to dine together, and joked with his daughter: "The person has been selected so quickly. There are many talents in the top three in the current class, and the emperor will not look at it anymore?"
Qi Yang simply waved his hand and said, "No need, there is no one better-looking than her anyway."
She said it firmly, and it wasn't the first time she talked about Lu Qipei's good looks in front of the emperor. After listening to the emperor, he felt that her youngest daughter's temperament and she loved to see her face, but at the same time, she had to admit that she was a little curious about this person she had never met - someone who can amaze him with talent, if he reborn With a good appearance, it really makes people have to like it.
The emperor thought for a while, then said, "Count the days, then Lu Qipei should have already entered the Hanlin Academy, right? I haven't seen him before, and I don't know what an amazing person he is, that makes you so fascinated by Huang'er. Why don't you call him into the palace today to talk about it?"
There are often people from the Hanlin Academy on duty in the palace, in case the emperor inquires. Only this is considered a fat man in the Hanlin Academy. After all, those who can show their faces in front of the emperor will probably have smooth careers in the future. And Lu Qipei only came to the Hanlin Academy for three days today, if he was called to the palace...
There are good and bad things about this - it shows that the Holy Family is in the body, but this move may also attract the jealousy of everyone in the Hanlin Academy.
Qi Yang quickly weighed it in his heart, and felt that the marriage between the two should be settled as soon as possible. But before she could nod her head, she heard the emperor say again: "Forget it, there is still a palace exam today, so I'd better call him after two days when I have free time."
The emperor is not a person who likes to go back on his word, so Qi Yang was a little surprised to hear this. She looked up, and sure enough, she met the emperor's teasing eyes again. She was angry and didn't have a good time, so she could only express her dissatisfaction by acting like a spoiled child.
There was soon laughter in the palace.
The sixteen-year-old little princess doesn't have to force anything, just let her like what she likes.
In fact, the emperor already remembered Lu Qipei, and also knew that Qi Yang was happy with her, and had no plans to break up his lover. As for giving Qi Yang a marriage to someone else, it is even more impossible—Qi Yang is completely overthinking, but the last experience in her previous life made her dare not trust the emperor, even if the emperor now loves her. add.
The father and daughter talked and laughed, but they didn't mention Lu Qipei again, and everything had to wait for the emperor to meet someone.
Of course, it was no excuse for the emperor to say that he was busy today. The sudden military situation made him discuss with the ministers for a long time. At noon, I had lunch with Qi Yang. In the afternoon, I had to go to Xuande Hall to show my face to meet the future disciples of the emperor, and finally come back to review the memorial.
The whole day was arranged clearly.
Qi Yang was very winking, and would not stay in the Xuanshi Hall for a long time. After lunch, he only stayed for a while before leaving. In the afternoon, I sent someone to the Ministry of Works, handed over the drawings approved by the emperor, and then waited for the start of construction.
She thought about it in her heart, thinking that the Princess Mansion could be completed about two months earlier than her previous life, and maybe the wedding date could be brought forward because of this
Her Highness, who was already thinking about getting married before she was given a marriage, was in a much better mood, and she stopped worrying about palace exams or wars, and left the palace again in the middle of the afternoon—she still remembered the appointment with Lu Qipei last night, but she can't be today. No appointment.
Unfortunately, on the way out of the palace, they met the tributes who had just finished their palace exams.
Qi Yang sat on the sedan chair, not even showing his face. However, when she passed by a group of people, she calmly glanced at the leading people, and found that they were the same as those in high school in the previous life, except that Lu Qipei, who had won the first place, was missing.
Without that person, the entire team of Gong Shi seems to have lost seven points of brilliance.
With just one glance, Qi Yang withdrew his gaze with lack of interest, and the sedan car quickly passed by in front of everyone.
Most people bowed their heads and lowered their eyes in a regular manner, not daring to look at them too much. But there was also that daring person who vaguely guessed the emperor's intentions, so he secretly raised his eyes to see the sedan chair that Her Royal Highness the Princess was gradually leaving, his eyes showing three-pointed eagerness.
But immediately, this eagerness was interrupted by the scolding of the inner servant on the side, and the pretentious young man lowered his arrogant head.
Qi Yang didn't know all this, and he didn't care. She hurried out of the palace, and the carriage she was riding in waited outside the gate of the Hanlin Academy again before the next shift, and it didn't take a while for the person to wait.
The only difference from the previous two days is that today's Lu Qipei looked extraordinarily high-spirited when he came out. So when the people walked to the carriage, Qi Yang raised the curtain of the carriage and asked her with a smile, "It's so brisk, but something good happened today?"
Standing under the car, Lu Qipei looked up at her, with a warm smile on his brows and a warm smile, as if he had put down some burden: "Your Highness has come to pick me up again today, isn't it a good thing?"
