Chapter 364 Li Zhenbao returns to secular life
On April 18th, the results of the Liberal Arts Hall Examination will be released.
Today is much more lively than the results release in the Wu Ke Hall.
Qu Xiu ranked 38th and was a Jinshi. Hu Jiwen ranked 278th and was a Jinshi.
The people who read the results came back to report the good news, and the Meng family were all happy for Qu Xiu. Although Hu Jiwen did not do well in the examination, he only had that strength, and both he and the Meng family knew it.
But another major event that happened at the same time was suppressed by this grand event, and not many people talked about it.
Last night, the third daughter-in-law of Jian's family disappeared. The thief sneaked into the house in the middle of the night, knocked the servant unconscious, and took away Jian's third grandmother, Mrs. Tang.
The Jian family guessed that it was done by a "gang thief" who had committed many crimes, and they also knew that Tang would never come back. It was impossible to investigate this matter secretly, and their family's investigation could not produce any results, so they reported it the next day.
Got an official position.
Master Jian is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Grandma Jian is also the sister of Prince Ping's side concubine Tang, and the direct aunt of Princess Li Qing.
Jiang Yixi and Meng Cimo both went to the Jian Mansion to offer condolences. Logically speaking, it would be inappropriate to disturb others after this incident happened, but Meng Cimo was the general of the Royal Forest Army, and the Jian family definitely hoped that Meng Cimo could help.
The people sent by the Meng family and the Zheng family to investigate the snitch Bai Chunnian in the Xiangjiang River had returned to Beijing a month earlier and brought back some news and portraits about Bai Chunnian. During the twelve years that Bai Chunnian was in Xiangxi, he committed fourteen robberies, rapes and murders.
The women, without exception, were the daughters and young daughters-in-law of wealthy families. Because they had no other rules for their behavior, they were good at disguises, and their methods were superb, so the government never arrested them.
The appearance can be changed, but the figure cannot be changed. Bai Chunnian is not tall and thin, similar to the people Jiang Da saw.
Although the victims in the capital were all daughters-in-law of wealthy families and did not have any young daughters, they analyzed that the thief was Bai Chunnian.
Since the beginning of April, the Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice have sent detectives to search for Bai Chunnian's portrait, but so far they have not been able to find it.
Meng Cimo told Mr. Jian and his son what crimes Bai Chunnian had committed in Xiangxi, and promised that the Royal Guards would also intervene in this case. The Royal Guards' duty was to protect the emperor, and part of their responsibility was to protect the capital.
At the end of Shenshi the next day, the sun was setting in the west, and Li Zhenbao and his entourage were driving on the road back to Beijing.
She completely returned to secular life today and no longer needs to wear hair and practice in Zhaoming Temple. At noon, she had lunch with Master Jicang and several nuns who took great care of her, so she came back late.
Today she is not wearing plain clothes, but a short jacket with white moon flowers, a long red skirt, and a few jade hairpins stuck in her bun.
Joyful, gorgeous, yet elegant.
She also put on minimal makeup, her face became whiter, her eyebrows became curved, and her mouth became brightly red.
Li Kai's mouth was as if it had been smeared with honey as he praised his sister for her good looks and that she was a rare and beautiful young lady. Although Zheng Yu didn't say anything, there was surprise in his eyes when he looked at her.
However, Li Zhenbao was very dissatisfied with this makeup. It only added a little sparkle and did not change her appearance or temperament at all.
In the morning, she looked at a table of fragrant cakes, rouge, brow stones, lip balm, and sachets filled with fragrant pills, and secretly curled her lips. In the future, she would not only develop cosmetics, but also invent makeup brushes, eyeliners, lip liners,
Make her face more three-dimensional, with a higher nose bridge, bigger eyes, and more stylish lips. Oh, and also invent high-heeled shoes to make her look better when standing with Brother Zheng...
Before entering the city gate, Li Zhenbao would open the curtains of his car every now and then and look at Zheng Yufa infatuatedly.
Zheng Yu would also look at her and smile, then raise her eyebrows and straighten her chest to show off her charm.
Once the little treasure was dressed up, she became even more beautiful.
After entering the city gate, I found that the streets were much livelier than in previous years when I entered Beijing.
People talk about number one, number two, third overall, which family has a Jinshi, liberal arts Jinshi seems to be less handsome than martial arts Jinshi, etc.
Grandma Jian San is so good-looking. In the first two days when she went shopping in a cosmetics shop, she was spotted by a silver thief. She followed her to Jian's house and snatched her away in the middle of the night. Silver thief is so scary. Beautiful young women should pay attention to safety not only on the street, but also at home.
be careful……
The topics became more exciting than the last, and Li Zhenbao no longer had any intention of flirting with Zheng Yumei outside the car curtain, and listened to the common people's discussions with pointed ears.
Mainly because I am interested in the latter question, and also because I like to hear people praise Jiang Xun. That little kid who never stood or sat down turned into a young and talented young man.
You arrived at the corner gate of Prince Yong's Mansion at Youshi. Just as the carriage was about to enter, Prince Yong and a eunuch holding a whisk came out.
The eunuch bowed in front of the car door and said with a smile, "Princess, the Queen Mother invites you to a royal banquet at Cining Palace."
King Yong had a look of reluctance. He thought that his daughter came back late today and had dinner at home. The palace keys had been locked up, so he had to enter the palace tomorrow. But he did not expect that the old mother would come to snatch her away again.
Even though he was holding back his internal injuries, he did not dare to say that he would not let her go.
Li Zhenbao opened the curtain and saw his father's expression of worry. Guessing his thoughts, he got out of the carriage with a smile.
It was the first time that King Yong saw such a bright and beautiful girl, and his eyes were straight.
Li Zhenbao pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Father, my daughter has made you so beautiful?"
King Yong looked at his daughter for a quarter of an hour before he laughed out loud, "Hahaha, my daughter is so beautiful. I knew that Bao'er was the most beautiful little lady. It was only because she couldn't dress up before that her beauty was concealed. Okay,
Okay, let your Imperial Grandmother and Imperial Uncle be happy when they see it. I’m going to scold those bad-mouthed ones, damn, they did a lot to bury my precious son back then.”
The father and daughter said a few words, and then Li Zhenbao got in the car.
Zheng Yu couldn't help but follow him into the palace, "I will send the princess here and go to the camp early tomorrow morning."
Li Zhenbao opened the curtain and said, "Can't you send me to the palace? I won't have a bath next year."
The look of reluctance and the tone of anger made Zheng Yu blush.
He smiled and said, "I am a minister. I cannot enter the palace without being summoned. I have been delayed for two days and I have some things to deal with."
Seeing a group of carriages and horses walking away, Zheng Yu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
King Yong smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry? Bao'er is not here, but I am still here. Let's go and accompany me to the mansion to have a drink."
The more he looked at Zheng Yu, the happier he became. Bao'er had just returned to secular life, so he had a candidate for his son-in-law. It was much more interesting for a son-in-law to drink with him than for a son to drink with him.
Zheng Yu got off his horse and walked into the palace gate with King Yong.
The topic of Princess Zhenbao becoming beautiful and returning to secular life has arisen again in the capital, and this year's imperial examination has been overshadowed by the disappearance of her little daughter-in-law, which has become the number one topic of discussion.
Some people say that after the female transformation, Li Zhenbao really became a beautiful woman.
Most people don't believe it, how is it possible that a person with dark skin, small eyes, and a bulbous nose cannot become a beautiful woman no matter how she changes. It must be Prince Yong who wanted to find a good offspring for his daughter, so he let such a trend go.
Even these people have to admit that whoever marries Li Zhenbao is marrying the Goddess of Wealth.
These people also included Mrs. Jiang, who was overjoyed. Li Zhenbao had the best relationship with Xi Yatou and was also familiar with Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun had never married a wife. Was he waiting for Li Zhenbao to return to secular life?
