After the palace examination, it is the new imperial examination and the imperial examination.
Thinking of the excitement of that scene, Chu Siqing asked her mother to take her to see it early in the morning.
Princess Yu had booked a private room in the teahouse on the Royal Street side in advance, which was the best place to watch the Jinshi parade.
Because only Sandingjia could ride a horse and boast about an official position, Han Yucheng happened to be fourth, so he followed behind like the other new scholars.
Although the eldest uncle is not as beautiful as the first three riding horses, Chu Siqing is still very satisfied with it.
Because this time the parade was particularly lively, there were also many outstanding Jinshi.
The first person, Yan Zhuangyuan, was born in a famous family, with a handsome face and majestic air, and he had an extraordinary bearing.
Although there is an unattractive second-ranked person in the middle, fortunately there is Yu Tanhua behind him.
Yu Tanhua's appearance was already refined, but now he was wearing red clothes and gold hairpins, which made him even more dazzling, making him look like a god.
The girls who were watching all had wild eyes, and they all threw their handkerchiefs or flowers at the top pick or the top pick.
While the girls were throwing it away, they shouted "Yan Zhuangyuan!" or "Yu Tanhua!".
Because there were so many people shouting, the sound was so loud that even Chu Siqing could hear it clearly from upstairs.
If there were not officers and soldiers blocking both sides of the parade, the girls would have been so excited that they would have pounced on them.
Throwing handkerchiefs, flowers, etc. are all fine, but fruits are a bit dangerous.
No, some girl threw a golden loquat at Yan Zhuangyuan.
Yan Zhuangyuan was very agile, and he ducked sideways and passed by.
The girl didn't give up and threw another one. Unexpectedly, the timing of this one was wrong and it hit Wang Bangyan's forehead.
Wang Bangyan couldn't help but cry out in pain, and a green bump quickly appeared on his forehead.
When the girl who caused the trouble saw that she had missed, she quickly shouted: "No. 2 Wang, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you..."
After hearing this, everyone onlookers burst into laughter.
Wang Bangyan was a kind man. He only touched his forehead and joked: "I admire Yan Zhuangyuan, but I have to suffer the consequences. Who can I ask to explain this?"
Yan Zhuangyuan said repeatedly: "Brother Wang, I'm really sorry."
Yu Tanhua said with a smile: "Brother Yan, you have to buy a drink to make amends when you go back."
Yan Zhuangyuan smiled and said: "Definitely, definitely."
When Chu Siqing saw this scene upstairs, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She had heard the story of Pan An throwing a fruitless car before, but now it was actually happening in front of her!
She couldn't help but said to her mother-in-law: "What if...my uncle...is hit by a fruit...what should I do?"
Princess Yu was also a little nervous and couldn't help but look down at her brother's position.
Although Han Yucheng was not in the first or third place, he was only missing by one, and he was handsome, so he also received a lot of fancy veils.
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers had stopped throwing fruits. Otherwise, the more handsome Jinshi would probably have their heads smashed all over the place along the way.
…
The day after the official praise in the Royal Street was the Qionglin Banquet.
Chu Siqing didn't expect that the emperor's uncle would give a banquet to the new scholars, and he would also invite the imperial master and himself to attend. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.
She could finally appreciate the beauty of the number one scholar and the most beautiful man up close!
Tu Qingchen already knew her temperament, so he couldn't help but remind her: "Don't be crazy and think about this thing when the time comes."
What if you keep talking in your heart again and so many people can hear it, how embarrassing it would be.
Chu Siqing patted her chest: "Don't worry... I'm sure... I'll calm down..."
The Qionglin banquet was held in the Imperial Garden because of the custom of hairpins. The apricot blossoms were in bloom at this time, so the new scholars would break off the flowers and tie them in their ears.
When Chu Siqing saw these Jinshi scholars, old, middle-aged and young, all wearing flowers in their ears, the corners of Chu Siqing's mouth twitched involuntarily.
She couldn't help but complained to Tu Qingchen in her heart: "Not everyone is suitable for hairpins." 】
[Look at those black-faced men, how can they meet people wearing flowers? 】
[There is also the unshaven man with a pink apricot flower in his ear, which is really scary to look at! 】
Tu Qingchen originally wanted her to stop speaking her mind, but at this moment, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
Emperor Ming of Chu sat on the throne, with the princes and ministers on one side and the new scholars on the other side.
The new scholars could not hear the saint's voice because they had not yet been granted official status, but everyone else could hear her clearly.
Emperor Chu Ming and the princes and ministers followed the saint's voice and saw the funny looks of many Jinshis, and they couldn't help but snicker in their hearts.
The new scholars were a little confused when they saw that many of the princes and ministers across from them looked strange, and some even had strange smiles on their faces.
Is there something going on that they don't know about?
Why do these adults seem to be laughing at them?
…
Before the banquet, Emperor Chu Ming wanted to encourage the new scholars as usual, but this time he smiled more.
"The Qionglin Banquet is specially designed for new scholars. You are all the pillars of Chu. I hope that in the future you will be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, caring for the people, and work together with me to govern the country!"
After saying that, Emperor Chu Ming raised his wine glass and drank with the officials, and the Qionglin Banquet began.
The position of the saint and the national preceptor were below Emperor Ming of Chu, on the side of the princes and ministers. Opposite them were naturally the number one, number two and top pick who were ranked ahead of the new scholars.
Chu Siqing was not interested in the food on the table. She couldn't eat anything delicious with her baby teeth anyway, so she kept staring at the opposite side.
[It’s so happy to see handsome guys up close! Yan Zhuangyuan's jade tree faces the wind and has an extraordinary bearing. Well, it's perfect. 】
Tu Qingchen looked at her speechlessly.
Can you please stop being crazy anytime and anywhere? !
The ears of Emperor Chu Ming and the princes and ministers had already been quietly raised.
According to the custom of the saint's voice, they will probably hear the gossip soon.
Chu Siqing also lived up to their expectations.
[No. 2 on the list of kings... Well, although he is not good-looking, he lives up to his name. He is an agricultural genius! Uncle Huang could send him to Sinong Temple. 】
Everyone knew that Wang Youtian, who was second on the list, was named Wang Youtian. When the examiner found his name, he couldn't believe it and thought he had made a mistake.
Later, after verification, it was found that Wang Youtian's paper was indeed well done, and the content was pragmatic and insightful. Emperor Chu Ming then awarded him the second place.
Hearing his niece's voice, Emperor Chu Ming began to think twice.
He also had a bag of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and hybrid rice given by his niece. Since Wang Youtian is a good hand in farming, he will be responsible for these in the future.
Chu Siqing had no idea that her voice had been heard, and still sighed in her heart: "Looking at Yu Tanhua from a close distance, she is really more beautiful than a flower, and she is so beautiful!" 】
At this time, the system suddenly said: [Host, do you want to eat the melon with Yu Tanhua? 】
Of course Chu Siqing was going to take the cake. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be shocked and said: [What, Yu Tanhua actually disguised herself as a woman and pretended to be a twin sister to deceive Yan Zhuangyuan? 】
