The list of new scholars has been released. The first prize, the second place, and the third flower are actually three poor students who had not shown themselves before. Qi Yu and Ji Chengyue, who were the most vocal, were implicated because their wife was a traitor and had to give up the exam halfway; One was the one who broke his marriage because his father persecuted his son and nephew. Although he was the leader, he was brushed off in the assessment of virtue and only got the top two.
Guan Suyi flipped through the list from the Gold News for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh of relief. The first time she was reborn was really different from her previous life. The original champion should be Qi Yu, Xu Guangzhi's eldest son in second place, and Ji Chengyue in third place. However, she doesn't know any of the three who have passed the exam.
It is precisely because of Qi Yu's entrance into the closed door that Xu Guangzhi worried that his grandfather and father would take this opportunity to ruin his reputation and Qi Yu's reputation, and completely destroy the last hope for the rise of the Guan family. She has always known that it is absolutely impossible to involve the new champion in the battle of the back house alone, and there must also be a power struggle. But in this life, all the disasters are gone, and she is no longer the powerless Mrs. Zhao who was smashed to pieces even though she was full of arrogance.
After thinking about it, she put down the list and completely relieved.
Jin Zi took out several sets of dresses and laid them flat on the bed, and said with a smile, "Miss, which dress do you want to wear? If you don't pack it, Madam will come to urge you later."
"Wear that red smoke cloud butterfly skirt with this set of gold inlaid jade inlaid treasure head and face." Guan Suyi looked in the mirror and said casually, "Don't worry, people from the family are coming to beat the autumn wind today, and they must be kneeling again. I beg, kowtow again, and mourning, and I can't get out of it for a quarter of an hour. It's strange. Back then, I didn't see any kindness from the supporters in my family. Now we ask for the removal of the family, but we come to the door every day. Talking about the good of our family. It's not that they don't understand good and evil, but they have been pretending to be stupid."
"This is even more abhorrent! It is a typical white-eyed wolf who has won the favor of others and doesn't think of others' kindness. It is also because they do not accumulate virtue. The 6,000 hectares of fertile land they have just acquired have been occupied by the army in just two months. There are hundreds of people in the whole family who don't know how to live in the future, which one can they ask for without asking the emperor's residence?" Jin Zi was quite gloating.
Minglan said sarcastically while applying makeup to the young lady, "It's useless to beg. Madam is completely cold-hearted, so it's no wonder that they would take care of them. You said they were shameless? Previously, she refused to help the young master with the genealogy, but now the Emperor's Mansion They asked to get rid of the clan, but instead they bluntly wrote the name of the young master, and even took the family tree to flatter him, which is really disgusting."
Guan Suyi dipped a little bit of mouth grease with her little finger and smeared it on her lips, and said, "What are you talking about on a good day? Don't be afraid of bad luck."
Jin Zi and Ming Lan kept their mouths shut, waited for the young lady to dress neatly, and then went to the front hall. The members of the Guan clan were still sitting in the hall with their faces sullen, and when they saw Huaguang, the beautiful Guan Suyi, they were all stunned for a while, and then flattered.
"Okay, the Qionglin feast is about to start. As the examiner's family, we can't be late, and we look forward to Haihan. When the sacrificial field was taken away, there is nothing we can do in the Imperial Palace. , you guys should be clever." Zhong Shi said while waving his hands to see off the guests, his attitude was cold and hard.
The clansmen cried and begged all the way, but they were finally kicked out by the family. Thinking of the imperial master's mansion, which always responded to their needs, only then did they understand what they had lost. It is true that good people can be deceived, but once they are completely chilled, there is no room for turning around. If they could stand up to condemn Guan Wenhai when he was arrested, or take the initiative to expel him from his clan, they would not have made trouble in this field.
The family boarded the carriage and drove towards the palace. Guan Suyi and Mu Mu were lying by the window, looking out through the bamboo curtain. The street was full of lanterns, gongs and drums, and it was very lively. General market.
Mr. Zhong smiled and sighed, "Today the emperor held a banquet for the new scholars to celebrate, and the people thought it was a good day, and they all got married on the same day. I just counted, and I actually passed four sedan chairs along the way.
"It's strange that I'm particularly energetic today, but it's because of a happy event." Guan Suyi pursed her lips and chuckled.
"That's right. The Central Plains has just experienced a century of catastrophe. The people are withered and the ground is bare for thousands of miles. It is time to take advantage of the new marriage to rush into a rush, or to improve the country's fortune. The emperor cares about the country and the people, and he cares about the world. Wei Guohui is better. A peaceful and prosperous world is just around the corner." Mr. Zhong sighed as he stared at the beaming crowd.
And Guan Suyi's feelings will only be deeper than hers. In the past life, how could Wei Kingdom have such a thriving atmosphere? How has there ever been such a joyous scene? Everything has changed for the better. While thinking about it, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace. The garden is full of splendid flowers, spring and bright scenery, ancient pines and strange cypresses on the main gate, brocade stone winding roads, treasure-built ponds, and Liusuo Hongqiao, which are beautiful. Holding a banquet here shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the new scholars.
The banquet has strong characteristics of the Jiuli ethnic group. Men and women do not need to avoid them. Instead, they sit together according to their seniority and kinship, which seems to be more harmonious and harmonious. Xin Ke Shizi and the emperor sat together, greatly shortening the distance from each other, so that the emperor could ask questions about the school at any time, drink and talk.
Guan Suyi just sat down with Mu Mu and was about to say hello to Li Shi and the eldest princess, when a palace maid stopped her, "Are you Miss Guan?"
"It's down."
"The Empress Dowager has summoned, please, Miss Guan, go with the servants." The palace maid was humble on the surface, but there was scrutiny and arrogance in her eyes.
Guan Suyi was hesitating, but saw the eldest princess nodding slightly, implying that she was indeed a female official of Changle Palace, but it was okay to go. Then she smiled and nodded, and handed Mu Mu to the Zhong family to take care of her, and brought Jin Zi and Ming Lan with her.
The once splendid Changle Palace has now been burnt out, and the general trend is gone. The main hall is empty, with Buddhist shrines placed in the inner hall. There are strong sandalwood incense and flickering candles everywhere. It is not like the residence of the Queen Mother, but more like a nunnery. The queen mother was kneeling in front of the altar and reciting scriptures, her demeanor was quiet and peaceful, but she did not know how much resentment she had suppressed inside.
In the hall, in addition to a few maids and servants, there was also a girl dressed in luxurious clothes. Hearing the sound, she turned her face to the side, no doubt it was Bian Min'er.
"The ministers and daughters see the Empress Dowager, Empress Jin'an." Guan Suyi bowed respectfully and bowed.
Bian Min'er stood in front of the hall without evading, and was directly bowed by her, her eyes seemed to be poisoned, and she wanted to tear her corpse into ten thousand pieces. The Queen Mother didn't seem to hear it, and it took about a quarter of an hour before she put down the beads, and said slowly, "Get up, give me a seat." She only dared to make things difficult for the other party.
You must know that this shrine is not a bodhisattva, but a piece of white bone of Kusu Liya. Emperor Shengyuan ordered her to kneel for four hours a day and recite the Sutra repeatedly, otherwise she would be sent to hell with several little grandsons. Her lifeline was completely in the hands of the other party, and she could only struggle in vain, but she was afraid that the fish would die and the net would be broken.
"I heard that Kunal likes you very much and wants to admit you to the palace?" She said straight to the point.
Guan Suyi smiled but said nothing. It was clearly a marriage, so how could it be accepted by the Queen Mother? Could it be that she is sure that Bian Min'er can be the mother of the country
The queen mother didn't need her to answer, she said to herself, "Hunnar is a member of the Jiuli tribe after all, and he can't mess with the blood of the royal family. His first wife can only be of the same family. This is the consensus of all Jiuli people. Are you the emperor? After that, the identity is enough. Although we have married someone, but we Jiuli people don't pay attention to this, it doesn't matter. At the Qionglin banquet today, several princes will recommend Min'er as queen, recommend you as Jieyu, and hope you two With one heart and one mind, serve the emperor well."
"How many princes want to recommend me as Jieyu?" Guan Suyi's eyes widened with a "flattered" expression.
"The emperor likes it, and Aijia will do as he wishes." The Queen Mother's expression was still indifferent, but there was contempt in her eyes. After all, she is a Han girl, and she is petite. Instead of letting the emperor force her into the palace, it is better to sell her a favor first, so that she can be a threat in the future. She knew that Kunal wanted to make this person the queen, but now that he was facing enemies on three sides and was worried about internal and external troubles, how could he dare to disobey the wishes of the entire clan
"That's really a big thank you to the Empress Dowager." Guan Suyi instantly put away all her expressions and her voice was cold.
"What are you doing so yin and yang? Could it be that the position of Jieyu can't satisfy you?" Bian Min'er mocked, "Do you want to be a queen? Just ask me if the army of hundreds of thousands of Jiuli clan will answer."
Speaking so confidently, as if the hundreds of thousands of troops all obeyed your orders and fought for you alone? There should be a limit to arrogance! Guan Suyi slandered in her heart, but she didn't refute on the surface, she just lowered her eyes slightly and waited in silence.
When the queen mother saw this, she thought she was softened, she took out two boxes and said, "This is a gift from Ai's family, take it and wear it."
The two thanked them and opened the box to see that they were two turquoise necklaces, but Bian Min'er's one was extremely gorgeous, with a palm-sized blood jade engraved with fire and coiled dragons. It was the totem of the Jiuli tribe. There is a sense of heaviness that has gone through the vicissitudes of life and traveled through ancient times. And Guan Suyi's color is dull, and there is no extra pendant decoration, which is more and more ordinary.
Bian Min'er was stunned for a while, and said in surprise, "Aunt, have you given me all the treasures of the clan?"
"This is the treasure of the town, and it can only be worn by the tribal leader or his wife. The first emperor passed it to Ai's family, and Ai's family passed it on to your eldest cousin, but your eldest cousin has gone, the most suitable one to wear it. The only one is you." Hua Luo picked up the necklace, carefully put it on for his niece, and said with relief, "Min'er, when you grow up, you will serve the emperor well in the future, spread branches and leaves for the royal family, and continue the bloodline."
Bian Min'er nodded obediently, threw herself into the empress dowager's arms and choked back tears.
How could Guan Suyi not know that this scene was specially made for herself? Immediately asked the maid to pour tea and water, put in the cakes, and drank while eating, the old god was watching on the ground.
