After the results of the palace examination were announced, the emperor gave a banquet to celebrate. The location of the liberal arts examination was the famous Qionglin Garden, which was also a holy place longed for by countless students.
The "Martial Arts Banquet" for the military examination was held in the Ministry of War, but the emperor also needed to be present in person.
Your Majesty was in a particularly good mood after meeting with General Tie and Lord Zhou yesterday.
After reviewing the memorials with incredible efficiency, his hand unconsciously opened the book "Annals of the Original Xia Dynasty".
The emperor, who usually kept his emotions secret, actually laughed out loud while holding the storybook.
His smile was not a big deal, but it scared the eunuch Wang who was serving him closely.
I muttered to myself, "It's not that serious, is it? They're just some clues, and you're so happy before they've even been confirmed?"
You don’t understand His Majesty’s happiness. He is immersed in the confusion of “Why is he so wise?”
Look at yourself in the mirror and praise yourself: "You are so far-sighted."
The Qionglin Garden was bustling with activity. After all, the outcome had been decided, and there was no need to be on guard against each other.
Those who are admitted on the same list are all "classmates". Everyone here is a connection, and you never know who you may be able to ask for help in the future.
Opportunities are rare, so let’s communicate more and try to leave a good impression on each other.
His Majesty the Emperor personally attended the Qionglin Banquet, spoke briefly, and then moved on to the next step: the opening of the banquet.
Su Shien was very much looking forward to this part. The emperor was indeed wise and didn't talk nonsense at all.
The dishes at the Qionglin Banquet were indeed exquisite, and the ingredients were high-end. They were all light dishes, which suited Su Shien's appetite very well, but Yu Ge'er probably didn't like them.
Han Zeyu said that before the end of the world, he paid attention to balanced nutrition and light diet.
After experiencing the end of the world, he felt sorry. Now he likes rich oils, big fish and meat. If he eats a few more bites of vegetable leaves, he feels sorry for his previous self.
Eat grass? Impossible, he has become a superpower, why would he need to eat grass?
Su Shien was eating food, thinking about her husband, listening to the conversation of others, and her eyes caught the emperor's face.
It is said that the current emperor ascended the throne at the age of 25, so he should be 34 years old this year. He has maintained himself very well and at first glance he looks like he is 30 years old.
Your Majesty...I have been living in loneliness.
Su Shien slowed down his movements in picking up food because he noticed two pairs of eyes were occasionally scanning his direction.
The emperor was secretly pleased in his heart. He thought that he was so foresighted that he kept "Mr. Erqi" as an editor.
Unexpectedly, it was really unexpected that the person more valuable than him was his husband Han Zeyu.
These two are quite interesting...
His Majesty the Emperor had to rush to the Ministry of War to attend the martial arts banquet, so he could not stay long. He sat for a while, ate a few bites of food, and then left.
Su Shien breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the emperor's back for a while, feeling something was amiss.
The question remains: what is he after? It can't be just a few broken rocks, right?
After thinking about it, this is really possible. The things that ordinary people avoid as much as possible may be of great use to others?
Do you understand that the emperor's mind is hard to predict? Translated, it means you can't try to guess what the emperor is thinking, because you will never understand it no matter how hard you try.
There were a lot of people surrounding the top three scorers. They didn't come for the food, but getting to know them was their primary task.
There were people who wanted to make friends with Su Shien, but this guy kept eating and he really didn't put down his chopsticks.
I heard that the Su family is a merchant family and their conditions are not bad, so why does this person look like a starving ghost reincarnated?
Su Shien put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said elegantly: "You know shit!"
You ordinary people, do you have any annoying little goblins at home?
Are there any good teachers who like to give extra lessons?
Is there anyone who has been married for more than three years and then asks for a wedding night just because he passed the imperial examination?
You have nothing, so you understand nothing!
Look at those thin, weak and frail people, are they still drinking?
Keep up with nutrition, exercise, and pay attention to body management, otherwise you will be disliked at best and abandoned at worst, and the consequences will be serious.
His "male morality" is not up to standard, no wonder he is the only one who can marry such an excellent wife, he is proud!
The excellent and virtuous wife is squandering money on the street, and is about to go home to buy local specialties and bring gifts.
What does it mean to return home to visit relatives? What does it mean to return home in glory? Can returning home empty-handed be considered a "glorious return"?
They don't have many relatives and friends, so preparing a few dozen copies should be enough.
When I was walking near Yujia Bookstore, I was stopped by a clerk in the store.
Han Zeyu thought to himself that he had no intention of coming in to take advantage of the situation, so why did this guy take the initiative to attack?
"Boss Han, you're here. This purse is for you."
Han Zeyu was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "What purse?"
"There's a sister who came here twice. The first time was to repay her debt. She came again the day before yesterday and heard that you hadn't been to the store, so she left a note for you."
Han Zeyu opened the purse and found that there were indeed ten taels of silver in it. However, upon closer inspection, he found that some of the ten taels of silver were stained with blood.
What does this mean? Are you asking him for help?
On the way to the capital, He Mengying knew that he was not a good person. Even so, she still dared to ask him for help. She must have been really desperate.
…
After the Qionglin Banquet, Su Shien went to the Ministry of Personnel to handle the formalities, after which he would be able to enjoy a paid vacation of up to one and a half months.
After passing the imperial examination, the court would give the new scholar a period of vacation to allow him to return home.
This practice was mainly based on emotional investment, in order to demonstrate the emperor's grace, and it was also a reward and honor for scholars.
"Paid vacation", what a wonderful word. It would be a waste not to enjoy this benefit.
But now that the couple is gone, what will happen to the hotels in the capital?
It seems that Tiezhu and Zhao Xun can only stay to look after the store.
In the evening, when Su Shien was about to discuss this matter with Yu Ge'er, he found someone sticking his head into the closet, fiddling with something.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Su Shien's mind. He walked over, hugged Han Zeyu's waist, and pulled him out like pulling a carrot.
When I looked down, I saw that the guy was holding a nightgown in his hand!
Su Shien let go of his hand and stood with his arms folded.
"Tell me! Where are you going to hang out again?"
Han Zeyu raised his hand and threw the nightgown at Su Shien's face, saying indignantly, "Am I that kind of person?"
Su Shien nodded honestly: "You are!"
Han Zeyu snorted coldly, turned around and continued to rummage through the wardrobe.
After a moment, he pulled out another nightgown of the same style and threw it to someone.
Su Shien took the clothes, scratched his cheek, and said shyly: "I am now a noble seventh-rank civil servant. Isn't it not a good idea to do this?"
Han Zeyu put his hands on his hips and said, "Pretend! Keep pretending! Just tell me whether you want to go or not."
Su Shien smiled and nodded honestly, he wanted to go.
