Chapter 1496: Enrollment 2
After Liu Huan finished speaking, he looked at the divine horses that the three people were riding, feeling extremely envious.
He felt that he was favored enough at home. After all, he was the youngest grandson. But now looking at Bai Shan and the other two, he felt that he was not favored enough at home.
When the group arrived at the palace gate, there were already quite a few people waiting, and the carriages of the four families were lined up behind them.
When Manbao saw the Yin family's carriage, he simply rode forward, jumped off his horse and knocked on the carriage window.
Yin Huo opened the curtains and smiled slightly when he saw her. "You are here too?"
Yin Huo got off the car, and a few familiar friends gathered together. Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang also arrived slowly.
More and more people came, but the speed of entering the palace was very slow, so their circle gradually became lively.
They were all very friendly and took the initiative to let the older students enter the palace first. They continued to stand by the carriage and wait in the sun.
The main reason is that they are young and have no qualifications or ranks, so they can't win the competition. It's better for them to be more sensible.
Zhao Liulang, the prince's cousin and the youngest son of Duke Zhao, cut in line and went straight to the front.
He was also selected to study in Chongwenguan. Until now, he couldn't quite understand it. He was already married and was studying well in the Imperial Academy. He was planning to take the college entrance examination this year. How come he was selected to study in Chongwenguan?
He didn't really want to come because his fourth brother used to be the prince's study partner. Now his fourth brother was serving in the army. If he came to be a study partner, it wouldn't be much of a relationship and it would disrupt his original plan.
But his uncle put him on the list, and his father asked him to come, so he had no choice even if he didn't want to.
Zhao Liulang sighed and bowed to everyone he knew or didn't know along the way. When he got to the front, he had someone open the boxes and check before entering the palace.
Among those waiting in line to enter the palace, some were stuffed in like Zhao Liulang, while others knew the truth and had already clearly defected to the Eastern Palace.
They placed themselves in a very positive position. They entered the palace to serve the prince and consolidate his position.
As for reading, you are already in your twenties, what books are you still reading?
Everyone glanced back covertly at the eight or nine young men who were left behind; they were the ones who were studying.
Because these people were going to stay in the palace for a long time, even though the palace had access control, the guards still checked carefully and found a lot of prohibited items.
It's not particularly serious, but it can't be brought in.
The guards either confiscated them or handed them over to the servants who followed them and asked them to take them back in the same condition.
When it was Manbao and the others' turn to go forward, it was already more than half an hour later. You can imagine how thoroughly they checked.
Bai Shan's eyes couldn't help but fall on his box. His books should be okay, right?
The things these people brought were very proper, probably because they were young and it was their first time living in the palace for a long time, so they were still a little nervous.
The things brought into the palace were either clothes, shoes, socks or books. When it was Bai Shan's turn, the guards found that he brought a lot of books, so they flipped through them and found that they were all serious books such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Spring and Autumn Annals". They couldn't help but look up at Bai Shan.
There were many people who brought serious books, but Bai Shan was the only one who brought such a large box of books, so the two guards who were checking couldn't help but stare at him curiously.
Bai Shan looked serious, but when he saw them, he nodded at them.
Manbao came over curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Shan turned around and smiled at her: "It's okay, I'm checking the books."
The guards were not familiar with Bai Shan, but they were familiar with Man Bao. After taking a look at the nameplate in their hands, they knew Bai Shan's identity, but still asked, "Doctor Zhou, is this your fiancé?"
Manbao nodded and took a look at the books in his box. "Why did you bring so many books?"
As she spoke, she happened to notice a guard flipping through a book. Manbao saw the familiar cover and couldn't help but pause. Then, with a blank expression, she asked the two guards, "Is there any problem?"
The guard reached out and picked up a book, flipping through it to read the contents. There was a line of text in it: "In the third year of Jin Cheng'an, the Jin army defeated the Hongjishi, Hedixin, Shanzhikun and other tribes..."
He thought it was a serious book, so he put it down, closed the box and said, "No problem, let's go."
So everyone entered the palace.
After the people had gone far away, the guard who was flipping through the book felt something was wrong. "Is there a Jin Kingdom ahead?"
The guard being questioned also came from a noble family, but he had not read many books. After working for so many years, he had almost forgotten the "Analects of Confucius". How could he know anything about the Jin Dynasty?
So he nodded hesitantly, "Yes...right?"
The guard was still puzzled, "Why don't I remember there was a reign title called Cheng'an?"
But he didn't doubt it too much, mainly because although he only read one sentence, that sentence was really serious, so serious that he couldn't doubt that it was a miscellaneous book.
They could ride horses and carriages in the imperial city, but not in the palace, so even though they had horses, they could only walk.
Behind them, eunuchs carried their boxes and crates. They had to walk all the way from Chengtian Gate to the Eastern Palace. Chongwen Hall was located near Xuanfu Gate in the Eastern Palace, where there was an independent courtyard. The east side was also the office of the Eastern Palace, while the living area of the prince and his concubines was on the west side of the Eastern Palace, close to Taiji Palace.
There is a door leading to the Taiji Palace. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess always go through the inner door when they go to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Queen.
The sun was high in the sky and the weather was getting hot again. Everyone was sweating as soon as they reached the East Palace. Yin Huo even started breathing rapidly.
Manbao groped in his sleeves and took out three round fans. He handed one to Yin Huo and Bai Shan, and took one to cover his eyes, which could barely block out some of the sun.
Bai Erlang, who was holding Green Ear, saw this and couldn't help but stare at Manbao.
Manbao met his gaze and said sheepishly, "There are only three of them. You'll have to make do with them."
Yin Huo knew that the round fan in his hand was most likely his, so he handed it to him a little embarrassedly.
Bai Erlang glanced at his pretty face, shook his head and said, "Forget it, just don't faint."
Yin Huo did not refuse and directly blocked it above his head again.
The group entered the East Palace and continued to head east. Yang Heshu led an East Palace councilor to wait on the side. When they arrived, he turned around and said, "Come on, I'll take you to settle down and then see what you need to do."
The councilor was also an acquaintance, it was Su Jian.
Seeing his eyes fall on Manbao's face, Manbao smiled and waved to greet him.
Su Jian turned his head expressionlessly.
Manbao turned around and asked Baishan, "What happened to him?"
Bai Shan looked at his back for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "He is jealous of you. Si Yilang is only sixth rank, and you are fifth rank. Your rank is higher than his. Next time he sees him, he will have to greet you first."
When Manbao heard this, he immediately felt refreshed.
When we were having dinner, my mother told me that my cousin's daughter was in the hospital to give birth, so in two days I would be officially promoted to an aunt.
See you tomorrow, I'm going to be happy and sad
