Chapter 58: Qionglinyan

The season has arrived at the beginning of March, and the weather has somewhat warmed up, and the branches of flowers and trees on the roadside have already sprouted. Looking at a faint greenery, there is full of vitality everywhere.
Qin Jiu sat in the carriage, took the loquat and accompanied the durian to the palace. Tonight, the banquet for the veterans of the new branch will be held in the Chongren Hall in the palace.
When the carriage arrived at the second gate of the palace, Qin Jiu and Durian got out of the carriage and walked towards Chongren Hall. It is already in the twilight, and the western sky is shining in the sunset, and half of the sky is smudged into Danxia, ​​and the palace in the distance is continuous and majestic, rich and luxurious, as if standing in the clouds.
When Qin Jiu was about to arrive at Chongren Hall, he was stopped. The visitor was the little from Jingxiu Palace, and said it was Concubine Hui who wanted to see her. Qin Jiu looked at the sky. It was less than the hour before the banquet was officially opened, so he said to Durian, "Lian'er, there is Chongren Hall in front of you. Go ahead by yourself. If it is too early today, I have something to do. To do, I will go to Chongren Hall to find you later."
Durian nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, then I will go first." Durian turned around, walked through the corridor, and headed towards Chongren Hall not far away.
After Qin Jiu watched the durian enter the Chongren Hall, he and the loquat went to Jingxiu Palace where the Xiang Hui lived.
Concubine Hui was sitting in the house drinking tea, saw Qin Jiu coming in, waved, and ordered all the maids waiting in the house to retreat.
Qin Jiu raised his eyes and glanced, and saw that Concubine Hui's expression was not very good, so he asked, "I don't know why the mother called me to come, why?"
Concubine Hui snorted coldly and said lightly: "I heard that you let your attendant participate in the Chunwei test. Why didn't you discuss this matter with me in advance."
A sharp light flashed in Qin Jiu's eyes, with an impermanent expression on his face, and said: "Manny, I asked your majesty to participate in the scientific expedition that day, and I saw it in person. It was because I was defeated in the contest at that time. I was unwilling to propose it with the courage of the moment. But in fact, I am not good at writing. I am afraid that rushing to take the exam will save the face of Tianchen Sect. Fortunately, my attendants are also from the Tianchen Sect, so I let him go. I didn't have time to tell the empress and ask the empress to forgive him."
Concubine Hui sighed, her face slowly.
"That's fine. Since your attendant has entered the former court, you can only marry into the inner palace. At the beginning, it was Yao Xier who came to Lijing, and the palace planned to grant her to King Kangyang. Yes. It’s okay to change you, my palace sees that King Kangyang means something to you. I don’t know, would you like it?"
When Qin Jiu heard the words, Dai's eyebrows frowned, and he indulged for a moment and said: "I am a member of the sect. Since Li Jing, I have handed over my marriage to the mother. Let the mother arrange it, but there are a few words, I don’t know whether to say it or not."
"But you say it's okay, this palace won't blame you." Hui Fei said with a gloomy face.
"This year's Snow Praying Festival, I was fortunate enough to meet King Kangyang and watched the whole snow praying festival in his brocade. I deliberately tried a few words and found that King Kangyang had an admiration for Su Wanxiang's daughter Su Wanxiang Wang Niang and Su Xiang didn’t deal with each other, and King Kang Yang knew that he didn’t dare to ask for marriage now, but he could not guarantee that he would have power in the future. He would go against his mother’s will and ask to marry Su Wanxiang as the concubine. At that time, he will It’s hard to tell if you can listen to Su Xiang if you listen to Empress."
Concubine Hui had no children, so she chose to support Kangyang Wang Yanmin. However, because it is not a parent-child after all, there are some things that are unavoidable. She frowned upon hearing Qin Jiu's words.
Yan Min has always been a girl, and she knows these things. He was a little cautious about Su Wanxiang, and she could guess it too. However, she did not expect that he was so bold that he intended to accept her as a concubine in the future. In this way, she supported Yan Min to be in power, but gave others a wedding dress. Naturally, this is absolutely impossible, Yan Min's concubine, even if she is not a member of the Tianchen Sect, she definitely arranged it.
"Really?" Concubine Hui frowned and asked.
"Qin Jiu dare not talk nonsense. Niangniang can inquire secretly. If he wants me to marry King Kangyang now, he dare not disobey, but he cannot guarantee that he has resentment towards Niangniang. Therefore, I think the most urgent task is not to marry me to Kangyang. Wang. It’s how to get Miss Su to marry someone else as soon as possible. I heard that King Anling admires Miss Su very much. If the Su family and King Anling get married, it would be extremely detrimental to us." Qin Jiu Said lightly.
After hearing the words, Concubine Hui put the teacup heavily on the wooden table and snorted coldly.
"Su Wanxiang, I heard that it is extremely difficult to marry. From your point of view, who is the most suitable person to marry Su Wanxiang?" Hui Fei asked with narrowed eyes.
Qin Jiu smiled softly and said, "The best candidate for this matter is naturally Emperor Yan Wang."
Yan Yu's arrogance and no political affair, let Su Wanxiang marry Yan Yu, naturally Hui Fei is happy to see it happen.
"This matter is probably not good for Yucheng. It is said that Miss Su has no thoughts about King Yan. Moreover, because of the reputation of Wangke's wife, Su Qing will not marry her daughter. This matter depends on your mediation. Two. In front of the emperor, I will mention this more often."
"Don't worry, I will definitely make this happen," Qin Jiu said with joy.
With this as a cause, it was easy for her to meet Yan Yu. Although she can move freely in Lijing, the biggest eyes and ears on her head are Concubine Hui. She must be stabilized so that she does not doubt her actions. Otherwise, seeing Qin Jiu often meet with Yan Yu, she is bound to do what he wants. What's more, if Concubine Hui mentioned this matter more in front of Emperor Qing, even though Yan Yu was now disdainful of taking it, it would be easier if the emperor had the intention.
"In that case, you and Yan Min's matter, let's push for some time." Hui Fei said slowly.
Qin Jiu responded hurriedly, and seeing that Concubine Hui looked a little tired, he got up and left. When Fang left Jingxiu Palace, he saw a person walking quickly in a brocade suit.
As soon as Qin Jiu saw this person, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
When the man saw Qin Jiu, his sharp eyes seemed to burst into flames.
"You... this... thief... why are you here?" The man originally wanted to swear, and when he saw Qin Jiu wearing a lady's suit, with scarlet clothes and a smile like a flower, he was stunned.
This person is exactly the dude that Qin Jiu beats up in Wuyouju, Huifei's maiden nephew Liu Laishun.
"Why are you here? In this forbidden palace, men are not allowed to come and go freely." Qin Jiu sneered.
Liu Laishun scratched his head, hehe smirked and said, "You, are you a woman? I'm not a messenger, I'm coming to my aunt."
Qin Jiu knows this person's temperament, but anyone who sees a good-looking person, whether a man or a woman, will not move. But this person also feels pity and pity for jade, and for women, he doesn't bother to do it.
Qin Jiu didn't expect to meet him here, so he must have come to see Concubine Hui. So he smiled at him and said: "Yes, it's me. I am a woman, what about it, son, I remember that you said that you want to clean up me that day, I am here right now, just come!"
Liu Laishun shook his head embarrassedly, and said with a fascinating smile: "My son is not as knowledgeable as you are a woman."
Qin Jiu stared at him with a pair of colored eyes, and suddenly felt disgusted. Then he ignored him and went away lightly.
After walking so far, I still felt those eyes staring at me hotly.
Qin Jiu sneered: This person can be used.
When Qin Jiu arrived at Chongren Hall, it was already full of people, and he waited for Emperor Qing to arrive before he could take a seat. She saw Durian chatting with a man in the distance, so she didn't bother to bother, she found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.
The wooden tables in the hall are arranged in two rows longitudinally. The wooden tables are not high, and the chairs are replaced by splendid cushions. All the scholars sit on the ground. When Qin Jiu sat down, the two men beside her were chatting happily, and Qin Jiu glanced at them with a smile. The two of them touched their faces, their expressions became a little ugly, and after a while, they both left without moving.
Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.
It should be said that Tianchen Sect also had some power in the court. Even if some people have prejudices against Tianchen Sect, they would not be so obvious.
The reason why these two are like this is probably because of their reputation. This is really a gift from Yan Su's arrest of his court trial. A slightly handsome man seems to be afraid that he will force them, which is really ridiculous. With no one beside him, Qin Jiu was happy and peaceful.
After waiting for a stick of incense, Emperor Qing came to Chongren Hall accompanied by King Kangyang and King Anling.
The crowd bowed down and shouted long live, and then the banquet officially began.
A group of court ladies filed into the banquet, placing exquisite dishes on the table in front of everyone.
Amber wine luminous cup, really good food and wine.
The top three in Xinke went to see Emperor Qing separately.
The number one champion in this section is durian, which is extraordinary. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Emperor Qing said to the chief examiner Yu Taifu: "Yu Aiqing, please introduce me to the top three in Jinke!" The chief examiner Yu Taifu hurriedly got up and saluted. The top three received the Qing emperor and introduced them one by one: "Your Majesty, this is the first champion of the first class in the examination, Qin Feifan."
Durian hurriedly bowed and said, "Qin Feifan sees your Majesty."
Emperor Qing stared at the durian's delicate eyebrows, as if startled. After a while, he faintly nodded and asked, "Are you the little guard serving by the master Qin?"
Durian nodded hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, that's it."
Emperor Qing nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Yes, okay. What a young talent, are you eighteen this year?"
Durian nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it's less than eighteen!"
In fact, Durian is seventeen years old, but Qin Jiu specifically instructed him not to tell him if he could not say his age. After all, something happened in his family. His true identity cannot participate in the scientific examination. So Durian answered vaguely like this, but fortunately the emperor didn't ask any more questions.
