Chapter 068 Let’s Eat Hot Pot Together
There were many people standing in the venue, watching the candidates who were undergoing the "physical test".
The success of the literary examination made Emperor Shao smile happily.
Seeing Xia Yu'an, I felt even happier, and all the unhappiness I had with Yingwei disappeared.
"It's Si Lan and Yu An, come, come, sit here and watch with me."
"Your Majesty." Xia Yu'an was not polite either.
I lowered my head and took a closer look, and it turned out that there was a hot pot on the long table of His Majesty.
ah.
The kitten is hungry.
"Let's eat together." Emperor Shao Guang said generously, showing off to Xia Yu'an: "Look at my hot pot."
The ingredients are good!
Emperor Shaoguang stared at Xia Yu'an with a burning gaze, wanting Xia Yu'an's affirmation very much.
If Shao Guangdi were modern, he would know a word called "fans".
As a foodie... a food connoisseur, Emperor Shaoguang also needs to communicate with Xia Yuan.
"Come here, look at this vermicelli, this beef! And this tripe! And the camel meat from the Western Regions!"
ah!
Xia Yu'an rubbed his hands, worthy of being the Emperor of Time, he has so many good things!
It’s no different from modern hot pot!
The ingredients are all natural! No adulteration! The same applies to the soup base!
So abundant!
Seeing Xia Yu'an's expectant eyes and hearing his boastful voice, Emperor Shaoguang was extremely satisfied.
"Si Lan, don't be idle either. Come eat with us."
The ceremonial officer behind him could no longer hold back. What kind of status was this? He was eating with His Majesty.
Although the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are Beichen Rongguang, but I didn’t see that the princes were all hunting!
Even the prince was not allowed to sit at the table.
These two people are so leisurely!
"Your Majesty, this is..."
"Hey--" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Shaoguang: "They are the chief examiners. What's wrong with them watching with me?"
The martial arts test is in full swing, including the 800-meter high jump, standing long jump, and triathlon.
There are even flying cakes.
Hey, isn’t this the National Olympic Games?
The physical fitness of people in ancient times was better, and they seem to be more durable than modern students.
While watching the "show", Xia Yu'an's pretty and cute eyes rolled around and soon turned to the tripe on the side.
Alas, it’s a bit far.
The kitten really wants to eat!
Fresh tripe!
The tripe was right in front of Xia Silan.
Xia Silan had already picked up a piece of tripe with his chopsticks, but when he saw Xia Yu'an's gaze, he sneered and put it in Xia Yu'an's bowl without leaving a trace.
Xia Yu'an was very happy, and Emperor Shaoguang was basking in the sun.
It hurts! The couple is so affectionate and so sweet! But what about him? He is a lonely man, a lonely man!
He already knew the feelings of Concubine De and Concubine Shu, so what? What else could he do? He chose the concubines himself, so of course he chose to forgive them!
As long as they don't cause any trouble, we can only leave them alone!
After all, he couldn't tell the world that he was cheated on by both of his concubines!
Where to put your face?
The more I look at Xia Silan and Xia Yu'an, the sadder I feel!
Look at this most outstanding minister of his, with his brilliant talent, reserved temperament and aloof personality, yet he is paired with the most notorious twins, and they are so loving.
Tsk tsk.
However, the more they got to know each other, the more Emperor Shaoguang understood why Xia Silan liked him.
Xia Yu'an is really... unique! So original!
Different from everyone else!
And there are some fantastic ideas! Weird and quirky! But it works!
For example, the “college entrance examination”!
This year's literary event has selected many useful ones for him!
The scores of these talents are still kept in the Hanlin Academy, waiting for the palace examination and the announcement of the results.
There are quite a few twins among them, and Emperor Shaoguang has decided that no matter whether they are men, women, or twins, as long as they are useful and meet the score requirements, they will all be "admitted".
Since you have chosen this system, scores come first!
Those who are screened out are all talents!
Of course, there are drawbacks, but which system doesn't have drawbacks? It's much better than the old eight-part essay!
Xia Yu'an ate the food her brother picked up and watched the martial arts test. Before she knew it, the test was about to end.
"Oh." Xia Yu'an felt a little regretful. The hot pot was so good, otherwise he could have eaten it for another 500 years!
Xia Silan wiped his mouth gently, holding a white handkerchief between her fingertips: "How about eating it next time?"
"next time?"
“We’ll do it ourselves when we get home.”
He can get the ingredients that Emperor Shaoguang can get.
"OK!"
The kitten is happy.
I touched my stomach. Well, I was actually full. But who said the hot pot was so delicious!
However, my brother is right, I should not be greedy. Next time, next time!
Otherwise you’ll get fat!
Stand up, stretch, and move around.
The subordinate in charge of recording the results came forward to report: "Examiner Xia, Xia... two examiners Xia."
There were three lines hanging on Xia Yuan’s forehead.
Hmm...Come to think of it, this world also has the same surname as my brother!
Xia Silan nodded: "Go ahead."
"It's like this. In the 800-meter race, there are several people in this group with the same score. They are neck and neck. They crossed the finish line together, and it's hard to sort them out..."
Oh, yes.
When Xia Yu'an first heard this, he wondered how such a situation could have happened. It had never happened once in his entire life and entire university. Then he thought about it and realized that this was ancient times. There were no stopwatches and no videos to play back. In order to be rigorous, he could not make arbitrary decisions. So he had to report it to the examiner.
"Hand over the list." Xia Silan said.
The deputy examiner carefully handed the list to Xia Silan.
Xia Yu'an went over to take a look.
There are quite a lot of people. It seems that they have all tried their best to cross the line and have broken through the limits of human beings!
Apart from some unfamiliar names, most of them look familiar.
This includes those who slandered Xia Yu'an!
"Take a break and run another 1,500 meters." Xia Silan said in a stern manner, "We'll decide the winner."
"yes!"
…
ah?
Those who had argued with Xia Yu'an were almost exhausted. They had already completed the triathlon... and ran 800 meters, and now they had to run 1,500 meters?
I really can’t hold on any longer!
If you want to mess with me, just tell me! Is it possible that the punishment from the White Tiger God has not ended yet? ? !
It's true that their physical fitness is not as good as others. If they have another 1,500, it will be the end of them!
…
Xia Yu'an happily prepared to leave with Xia Silan.
The people behind me were still running 1500 meters. In fact, they had been eliminated, but there were a few reserve spots, so for this, they had to run again and again.
Xia Yu'an was holding a freshly hunted rabbit in his hand. This was the rabbit that he and his third brother hunted together!
There's rabbit to eat tonight!
My elder brother also hunted a deer alone, but it was too big, so he presented it to Emperor Shaoguang and asked him to take care of it.
Xia Silan took him on a quick ride back to the capital. The bustling streets were bustling with people, and the gentle spring breeze blew on the peach branches, making the place very lively.
The spring market is bustling beside the wine, and the peach blossoms are red outside the curtain.
The spring breeze blows across my face, and I feel warm, not cold at all.
When I got home, I asked the chef to stew the rabbit and make a spicy rabbit head.
There was also news from Hongshao over there.
Xia Yu'an opened the note brought by the guard, which only had four simple words on it: "Already hooked."
It seems that Hongshao has already hooked up with Houye Xia Yantai.
Very good, very good, Second Aunt, the concubine prepared for me ended up being a nuisance to me. I was brought into your mansion openly and squarely. You didn't expect that, did you? !
.
All the civil and military events are over, and it should have been a happy day for everyone to celebrate. However, some of the former vested interests had their cake and eat it too, and they are not willing to accept it.
All the sons of ministers and nobles were eliminated.
It is now completely impossible to sit in a position and do nothing, or to seek a position to "live off" in old age.
They did not dare to blame Emperor Shao Guang, so they began to target Xia Yu'an, making trouble in the court and spreading rumors.
What is this system that is not good, that it does not select the real talents, what is this allowing the two children to be officials, that it has made a major change to the imperial examination system, that it has shaken the foundation of the country...
All kinds of hats came out.
Xia Yu'an didn't care about this. No matter what happened, the result was out and could not be changed.
But there was one thing that bothered him!
Looking at the eunuch kneeling beside him and the imperial edict from Emperor Shaoguang, well, he had to go to court.
The results were announced recently, and the college entrance examination is over. As the chief examiner, he has to report to the court.
Oh, I heard that we have to get up very early to attend court!
Cat wants to sleep!
Being a night owl doesn’t mean you don’t want to sleep!
He can play at night! He can torment his brother! He can steal food!
But you can’t go to work, you can’t work overtime, no!
