Princess Lin'an is the emperor's younger sister.
It's sixteen now.
The queen mother has been worrying about her marriage, and has dated many people, but none of them are fancy.
She thought about looking for young people after this year's imperial examination came out.
She didn't expect to see one of them.
The number one scholar who is only fifteen years old, the queen mother has asked people to inquire about it, and this number one scholar has come all the way.
During the provincial examination, he was favored by Master Tai Tuo because of a wonderful and splendid essay.
The Queen Mother is not an ordinary woman in the back house. In the palace, there is basically nothing that can be hidden from her except the Emperor.
Knowing that during the palace examination, Zhuangyuan Lang's policy theory shocked all the examiners present at that time.
This is a really well-rounded young man.
In particular, the queen mother also found Princess Lin'an and stood on the tower to watch the number one scholar parade the street.
Not to mention Princess Lin'an, even the Queen Mother herself was taken aback by this handsome No. 1 scholar.
Later, the queen mother went to see the Taifu and found out that the Taifu also wanted to give his granddaughter to Ye Sishao, so she immediately asked someone to tell the emperor about it.
Unexpectedly, she waited until now, and did not wait for the emperor to announce the decree. The queen mother could not wait and came directly to the emperor.
She was afraid of waiting any longer, so she acted like the number one scholar, afraid that she would get engaged soon.
Duan Yunxiu was sitting in front of the table, saw the queen mother coming, got up and saluted.
When he heard the queen mother's words, his cold and stern eyes darkened, "I have already made a decision about the marriage in Lin'an. Li Tianxun, who is now the second in the list, is 20 years old and concentrates on studying. He has no wife or concubine, and there are no harsh elders in his family. Lin'an is just right, I have already drawn up the imperial decree, can you take a look at it, Queen Mother?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to show the imperial decree to the Queen Mother.
The queen mother frowned instantly, "Why is he second in the list? I think the number one scholar is very good, and Lin'an also likes it very much."
"Mother, you don't know." Duan Yunxiu squinted his eyes, and took down the imperial decree with his slender fingers, "The number one scholar is not suitable for marriage."
"Why isn't it suitable?" The queen mother didn't expect the emperor to lie to herself, "Could it be that the Taifu discussed marriage with the Ye family before me? Then he moved quickly."
After all, he also dotes on Lin'an.
But the queen mother did not expect that some people always meet another person, and all principles will be discounted several times.
"He..." Duan Yunxiu lowered his eyes, and when he heard that the Taifu and others had thoughts about Zhuangyuan Lang, he paused, "It's very inappropriate, he is going to go to the border with General Yang soon, you have the heart to let him Lin'an to endure hardship?"
"Frontier? Did you send Zhuangyuan Lang to the battlefield?" The queen mother looked like a ghost, seeing that the emperor was not joking, she asked cautiously, "Did the Zhuangyuan Lang offend you?"
This is something that has never happened since ancient times.
Mess? How can it be? It's just because this No. 1 man is not just a pure No. 1 man, his way of marching and fighting is better than Yang Ziji's.
Yang Ziji begged him for a long time, and Ye Shaohua also had the same idea. She had long thought of leaving the capital to have fun, but Duan Yunxiu didn't let go.
I didn't expect to let go because of this matter.
Duan Yunxiu was restless, and when he heard the Queen Mother's question, he replied directly: "Yes, I have offended me, so I want to send the number one scholar to the battlefield. Queen Mother, are you sure you want Lin'an to betroth him?"
The Queen Mother hesitated now.
I didn't expect this to be the case, the son-in-law is naturally good, but one offended the emperor's son-in-law.
She thought for a while, then shook her head, "No, I'll see if Li Tianxu's situation is alright, then let him go."
But maybe I have to go back and persuade Princess Lin'an, she obviously had her eyes glued to Zhuangyuan Lang that day.
The next day, the emperor's imperial decree came down.
To everyone's shock, Li Tianxu, the second place in the list, was recruited as a son-in-law and served as a sixth-rank official of the Imperial Academy. It can be said that he soared into the sky.
And Tanhua is also from a sixth-rank official.
Even Ye Shaoming, who was in the 14th place, was awarded a modest official position of the seventh rank. It is not easy to have this civil position at the age of eighteen, and it is easy to get promoted.
Ye Jin went to Aunt Mei's yard again, and when she heard that Aunt Mei was not in the yard, she couldn't help but go to Mrs. Ye's place.
Hearing the news of Ye Shaoming's appointment as an official, "Third Sister, I will congratulate my elder brother first, and I will be able to join the court as an official with my father in the future."
Ye Jin said with a smile, very pleasing.
The old lady was a little strange, "What about Brother Hua, he is the No. 1 Scholar, and the second place is all sixth-rank officials. Doesn't he want to go to the fifth rank?"
A fifteen-year-old official of the fifth rank is the first one in the Celestial Dynasty.
The old lady was very excited just thinking about it.
Hearing the old lady's words, Ye Shaoming smiled a lot, "The lord who heard the decree said that the fourth brother will be dispatched to the frontier, and together with General Yang Shao, those barbarians are going to cause trouble again recently."
"What? Sent to the frontier?" The old lady was stunned.
Ye Jin was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt happy, but she knew she couldn't show it, so she just said worriedly: "I heard that His Majesty intends to recruit the fourth younger brother as a son-in-law, why is he sent to the frontier now? When will he go?" Will you come back?"
Ye Shaoming shook his head: "I don't know, but I won't be back in a short time."
These days, as the eldest son, Ye Shaoming, was so suppressed by Ye Shaohua, a concubine, that he couldn't lift his head. He didn't expect Ye Shaohua to be admitted to the first prize, but was rejected by His Majesty.
Dispatched to the frontier, among other things, he still doesn't know if he can come back alive. Ye Shaoming has always felt very happy in his heart.
What's the use of being admitted to the No. 1 Scholar? It's not that I stepped on the soles of my feet.
