Seeing that the Queen seemed to be interested in Ji Ziqi, Yuebai glanced at He Yu and asked him to continue talking.

He Yu came forward with a clear understanding and whispered: "Empress, this candidate Ji Ziqi is one of the few candidates who passed the exam from the county. Most of the others are children of famous families in Beijing. What's even more surprising is that

Yes, Ji Ziqi is only seventeen years old, but he is well-read and has an extraordinary memory. He can be said to be a young talent. Now he is well-known in Beijing. Even Qin Xiangye looked at his resume and was amazed. "

Someone saw Ji Ziqi starting to write, and they bravely continued writing along this topic.

This topic is not an easy topic to write about. There are too many things to consider in the current world affairs. If you accidentally say something wrong, you will lose everything. After decades of studying hard, this is it.

Failure makes people feel very unwilling indeed.

Everyone is writing the question under pressure. If someone finishes it first, they will be even more stressed, so everyone wants to be the first to finish it.

Liang Huanqing looked at them writing furiously, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. At this time, she knew in her heart that the two topics she chose were the right choices.

Now that the country is in crisis, the talents selected by the imperial examination must be able to solve the country's urgent needs. By the way, she also wants to see how the students and the people view this emergency situation in today's gray background.

This year's situation is indeed unusual. Officials in the court will always have various concerns, of course because their positions require them to consider too many things.

But there are some things that require empathy and new approaches. Liang Huanqing has heard too many theories from court officials, and now he is taking advantage of the imperial examination to collect ideas.

Liang Huanqing listened to He Yu's praise of Ji Ziqi. He thought it was because he mentioned a few more words, and he was worried that He Yu would deliberately intervene in judgment, so he lowered his head and twirled his fingers, and then said: "Young talents who become famous at a young age are good, but the same was true for Lu Gaohong back then.

, went to Beijing with stunning literary talent, but in the end, he did not end up like a sinner throughout the ages."

He Yu knew that the Queen was accusing him of talking too much, so he lowered his head and said, "The Queen taught you a lesson."

"Just judge the questions neatly and rigorously. Don't let other idiots appear in front of me." Liang Huanqing said: "Now I can't get rid of the dirt in my eyes. Also, those students who have teachers in the court, their teachers are not allowed to participate in this matter."

I will try my best to be fair and just, and I also hope that a noble son will come from a poor family..."

If it is just a scholarly and famous family, then the foundation in the court will be very complicated. Liang Huanqing wants a new force with a clean background to emerge.

Things in the DPRK are worrying. There are too many things that Liang Huanqing needs to consider, such as Xia Sicheng, the Minister of Xingtaipu Temple, and Gong Huiwei, the Minister of Industry. Liang Huanqing and Si Nanping clearly know that they are not the only ones behind this.

Individuals, just these two people, could not do such a thing, but Liang Huanqing thought that the people in the court were inherently divided, and the only ones who treated her wholeheartedly were Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji.

Others may just want to maintain the safety of the court, and most of them are not very optimistic about some of the Queen's decisions.

Liang Huanqing was struggling step by step, and it was really difficult to move forward. If someone with a clean identity could enter the court, he would be a powerful assistant to Liang Huanqing.

Maybe this Ji Ziqi will be one of them.

I don’t know why, but Liang Huanqing paid too much attention to Ji Ziqi. Maybe it was because he was sitting in the middle, maybe because he looked up and peeked at the Queen while everyone was saluting, or maybe because everyone was looking at this topic. When there were some difficulties, he was the only one who picked up the pen and wrote vigorously.

It's like knowing that the Queen will ask this question.

In any case, Liang Huanqing was more or less curious about Ji Ziqi and wanted to know what he was writing on the paper now.

But as the examiner, she cannot obviously have much contact with the candidates.

After a few sticks of incense were burned, He Yu announced that the exam was over, and the eunuch serving in the Qinzheng Hall collected the test papers, which would then be sent to the Imperial College for review.

Liang Huanqing sat on the dragon throne and watched them put away the examination papers before standing up. Yuebai supported her and prepared to go back to Qianning Palace.

Everyone stood up and said to the Queen, "Best farewell to the Queen."

When walking out of the screen, Liang Huanqing subconsciously looked back at Ji Ziqi——

He wears a snow-white straight-breasted robe, which has a very good drape. He wears a wide belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern around his waist. There is only a piece of black jade of excellent quality hanging on it. The shape looks rough but is simple and gloomy. He has black hair. It was tied casually with a silver ribbon, without a crown or hairpin. A few strands of hair in front of the forehead were blown away by the wind, intertwined with the silver ribbon and flying, making it look quite light.

He stood with everyone in the Yangxin Hall and saluted her.

Liang Huanqing looked at him, and Ji Ziqi seemed to realize something. He raised his head slightly to look at the Queen, but soon lowered his head again.

Thinking about it, I knew the rules in my heart, but at that time I looked up rashly out of curiosity about the Queen.

"The Queen." Yuebai reminded in a low voice.

Only then did Liang Huanqing look away, turned and left.

On the way back to Qianning Palace, Yuebai kept looking at the Queen's expression, and finally asked cautiously: "Empress, are you particularly optimistic about Ji Ziqi?"????

Liang Huanqing sat on the soft sedan and rested with her eyes closed. She shook her head and said: "No. I am not overly optimistic about anyone, I am just a little interested in him. Don't tell anyone about this, because there are people in the clan who like him." , it will be detrimental to the affairs of the court.?"

Yuebai seemed to understand, but nodded: "Then do you want to tell Mr. Qin??"

Liang Huanqing opened his eyes and looked at Yuebai, and then said with some disappointment: "You don't need to tell anyone, you can judge the paper how you want."

Even though he said this, Liang Huanqing still felt that Ji Ziqi would definitely win the election.

"Yes." Yuebai didn't dare to say anything more and followed obediently.

"What happens after the imperial examination?" Nowadays, things are happening one after another, and Liang Huanqing is overwhelmed. Fortunately, with the help of Si Nanping and Yue Bai, things can be dealt with.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet." Yue Bai thought for a while, "Queen, in addition to the ministers who are invited to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, do you want the family members to come out together and have a meal in the palace?"

Liang Huanqing only felt a headache: "I have never dealt with such a matter before, please discuss it with the princess."

At that time, when Liang Huanqing put the clan members under house arrest, Qi Wangshu was also present. The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was usually to entertain the clan clan members, but now the clan clan members and them were not in the same boat, not to mention that they were now under house arrest.

They must be full of complaints, and it really makes people worry about what they will do at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.

Yuebai nodded and said to the eunuch carrying the sedan: "Go directly to Fengyang Pavilion."

Fengyang Pavilion has always been the courtyard where the eldest princess lives, and it has not changed from the beginning to the end.

The courtyard is surrounded by pink walls, surrounded by green willows, three gatehouses with hanging flowers, and hand-curved verandahs on all sides. The courtyard is connected by a corridor, decorated with rocks, and has a plaque of "Yihong Kuailu" hanging on the five buildings. The entire courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious.

, flowers are luxuriant, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool. Qinfang Creek converges here and flows out of Fengyang Pavilion. There is a white stone road spanning the Qinfang Creek to the other side.

It turns out that there are exquisitely carved wooden boards on all sides, with various patterns such as "Hundred Bats in Flowing Clouds", "Three Friends of Suihan", landscape figures, feathers and flowers, collections, ancient books, and longevity, all carved by famous hands.

, with colorful pins and gold inlaid treasures. Each bureau has a place for storing books, a tripod, a place for pens and inkstones, a vase for flowers, and a place for bonsai. The bureaus are of various kinds, or the sky is round.

The place is decorated with sunflowers, banana leaves, or a series of half-bills. It is really a cluster of flowers, exquisite and exquisite.

Suddenly, the five-color gauze was pasted, and it was connected to a small window; suddenly, the colorful silk was lightly covered, and it was connected to a secluded door. And the walls were covered with grooves cut out in the shape of antique toys. Such as harp, sword, hanging

Although bottles, table screens, etc. are hung on the wall, they are all flush with the wall.

Qi Wangshu grew up here. She has always been the proud daughter of heaven and the darling of the royal family. She had nothing to worry about before, but now she and the Queen are the only ones left in the palace. The Queen is in charge of the affairs of the court, and she is the only one left.

I can now take care of the palace affairs.

When Liang Huanqing arrived, she saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounding her outside the Fengyang Pavilion. She was wearing a peach pink plain brocade shirt and a pearl white lake crepe skirt. Her face was as white and tender as jade, with a pair of faint smiles on her face.

With pear dimples and a light application of rouge, the cheeks are polished like a blooming viburnum, white and rosy. The black and long eyebrows look like paintings but not paintings, and a pair of eyes that yearn for light are clear in black and white, and the waves are intoxicating.

The style and charm. The wide pearl white ribbon lightly tied up the black and elegant waist-length hair, but exuded a fairy-like temperament.

The forehead and temples are decorated with a white and pink inlaid beaded hair chain. Occasionally, one or two disobedient beads hang down, which actually adds to the beauty that is both real and illusory.

The white jade bracelet on the wrist, the warm mutton-fat white jade exudes a kind of silent brilliance, complementing the plain dress. There is a thin silver necklace around the neck, but it is faintly glowing with light purple.

The luster, when you look closely, is just purple crystal, but just like this person, it exudes a powerful charm in the light. The shoulders are like shaved, the waist is as plain, the eyebrows are like green feathers, and the muscles are like white snow. The black hair is made of a piece of

The light blue ribbon is wrapped around the waist, swaying slightly as she walks, showing her delicate feeling. She is wearing a plain brocade palace coat covered with aqua blue gauze, the breeze blows, the gauze is flying, and the whole person exudes a light aura.

Her skin is like gelatin, which can be broken by blowing, her lips are cherry red, no need to blush, her slender willow eyebrows are lightly raised, and her eyebrows are not smeared, and her cherry lips outline a smile, but there is a faint chill. Dressed in a plain shirt, with sky blue flowers on the other side.

Dark patterns flicker in and out as she walks. Her waist is gently tied with a lake-blue brocade silk ribbon. Her simple high bun and messy bangs swaying in the breeze on her forehead show a sense of randomness. A pure white sapphire hairpin,

A brilliant light spot emitted. The corner of his mouth curled up, and his eyes as cold as frozen lake water looked particularly clear.

She has a petite face as big as a palm, skin that can be broken by blows, exquisite facial features, the clearest deep blue eyes, and the most beautiful rose-colored flowing long hair that makes people jealous. Because she has taken the condensation prepared by her mother since she was a child.

It was so beautiful that she exuded a light floral fragrance. She wore an ivory white floor-length skirt, covered with a floor-length palace gauze inlaid with silver threads and embroidered with colorful cherry blossoms. Her hair was rolled up like half a chrysanthemum, and a peach blossom patch was carefully pasted on her forehead, which made her look even more...

Her complexion is like spring, her lips are pink, her eyes are big, and her hair is like clouds.

There are two hollow peacock hairpins with gold wire on each side, and each peacock holds a string of black pearls under its beak, which is both noble and unassuming.

She just asked them to teach her how to read the accounts. The palace was tightening its budget and doing construction work outside the palace. Now that the imperial treasury is tight, she naturally has to think about a lot.

"Wang Shu." Liang Huanqing called softly.

Qi Wangshu was worrying about how to read the accounts, and Qingyin was also following him in trance.

Everyone in Fengyang Pavilion didn't realize that the Queen had been here for a long time. When they heard the Queen's voice, they quickly stood up, knelt down and said: "The Queen has arrived, and I was a little disappointed to greet you. I hope the Queen will forgive you!"

"

Qi Wangshu also stood up and saluted Liang Huanqing: "Sister-in-law of the emperor."

"I'm sorry." Liang Huanqing stepped forward, held Qi Wangshu's hand, and said with a smile, "It's rare to see you so serious. Thank you for your hard work!"

"The emperor's sister-in-law is the one who works hard. After three months of hard work, her already bad body has lost a lot of weight. If she loses weight anymore, she will be gone." Qi Wangshu also hadn't seen Liang Huanqing for several days, looking up and down.

After looking at her, she felt very distressed: "Yue Bai, you have to tell the Queen to eat more. If I lose weight next time I see you, I will ask you for it!"

Yuebai curtsied and saluted: "Yes, princess, this is natural, but the queen doesn't listen to the slaves..."

Yuebai deliberately complained to Qi Wangshu because he wanted Princess Wangshu to persuade the Queen to eat more.

"Sister-in-law!" Qi Wangshu pretended to be angry, "You don't take care of yourself, how can I feel relieved?"

"Okay, okay, I listen to you." Liang Huanqing could only smile when he was here with Qi Wangshu, "I came to see you today because I have something important to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Seeing that Liang Huanqing changed the topic, Qi Wangshu followed the topic and asked, and the two sat down to discuss.

"Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, there will be a family banquet in the palace. I won't touch the details. I hope you will pay more attention to me, Wang Shu." Liang Huanqing said.

"This is natural." Qi Wangshu said: "The emperor's sister-in-law manages the affairs of the court. Naturally, I have to share the worries for the emperor's sister-in-law. The affairs in the palace are small but complicated, and there are many rules. But fortunately, I grew up in the palace.

, and with so many managers teaching me, the Queen’s Wife can rest assured.”

Liang Huanqing nodded frequently when he heard what Qi Wangshu said, and then said: "There is one more thing..."

"What's the matter?"

"Last time at the Qinzheng Palace, the clan members asked me to appoint a prince, and I put them under house arrest out of anger. Now, I don't know whether I should entertain them at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet."

Qi Wangshu also knew about this. She said: "The family banquet naturally involves inviting the clan members. Is the emperor's sister-in-law worried about what they will do?"
