There was faint sound of drum music in the distance, and the students entered the palace.
The Ning'an Hall, where the chamberlains originally gathered, was completely silent and not a single person could be seen. I don't know if they were silenced by the superiors or driven away by the Ducha Si.
Huo Lian turned her head and looked at the woman who was standing steadily with a thick book of drawings in one hand. Her expression was quiet and she didn't think her words were funny at all.
Also, she didn't tell nonsense once or twice.
"This reason is unreasonable. If you are really here for your sweetheart, you should avoid the Imperial City." Huo Lian said, "You appear here with your identity to drag your sweetheart into hell."
Qixing lowered his gaze, seemed to think for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I want to build the Star Observation Pavilion."
Huo Lian nodded: "This is what you can think of, but if you want to make the emperor look at you and the Momen in a different light by repairing the Star Gazing Pavilion, you are totally wrong."
He looked in the direction of the Star Gazing Pavilion. Beyond the palace, only the tall wooden frame could be faintly seen, and the gesture of gazing at the stars and the moon could not be seen.
"If His Majesty knew that this was built by Momen, he would definitely push it down, burn it, and make it completely disappear from the world."
He looked at Qixing again.
"Do you think a Star Viewing Pavilion can please His Majesty? It seems that you have been hiding very well over the years and have no idea of His Majesty's hatred for Momen."
Qixing said: "I did hide well, but I also feel His Majesty's hatred for Momen, but I don't care."
Don't care? Huo Lian looked at her.
The woman's expression was calm.
Indeed, from the first time I saw her, there was no hatred in her eyes, or no joy, anger, sorrow or joy in her eyes. The only time there was any difference was when she mentioned her mother...
"I said I wanted to build the Star Observation Pavilion just for the Star Observation Pavilion." Qixing said, "I am a Mohist. I want and should leave our mark on the world and leave behind works that can be useful to people. If I have to say
If you want to please anyone, please please heaven and earth and those who need it.”
Huo Lian didn't seem to know what to say for a moment.
"You..." He looked at her, as if he was not looking at her, and suddenly smiled, "You say you don't have a father every day, but you are really just like your father."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
"In order to help you do what you say, I will have the Ducha Siwei keep an eye on you and not cross the range that has nothing to do with the Star Gazing Pavilion."
Because she walked too fast, Qixing had no chance to say what she was supposed to refute: "He is not my father." She opened her mouth but didn't say anything more. She glanced at Huo Lian's back, turned around, and held the thick book.
The drawings were sent to the inner library.
It's not like the inner library is empty.
But no one is moving around, they are all indoors.
Hearing footsteps, prying eyes came from the doors and windows. When they saw it was Qixing, the people inside seemed startled.
"Ah Qi." Fuquan rushed out first, followed by a group of servants, "Why did you get in?"
He looked outside again.
"Du Cha Si..."
Qixing said: "The Duchasi people left, so I came in."
Fuquan was a little in disbelief and poked his head outside. There were also servants running in from outside, "I'm gone, I'm really gone."
Only now did everyone believe it.
The servants gathered around Fuquan and said happily, "That's great, Mr. Fu, you won't be captured by Du Cha Si."
Fuquan breathed a sigh of relief, then glared: "What are you talking about! Why are you here to arrest me! Governor Huo is on an errand for His Majesty, and His Majesty is ordering laurels in the front hall, so there can be no mistakes."
The waiters laughed and answered yes.
Fuquan waved them away and looked at Qixing again. This girl was standing quietly, which made people feel inexplicably at ease.
This is a lucky star, Du Chasi left as soon as she came!
He smiled more enthusiastically: "Ah Qi, what are you doing here? Isn't work suspended?"
Qixing said: "Master Liu said that the work has stopped to prepare the next batch of materials. I wonder if it is convenient for Eunuch Fu?"
"Convenient!" Fuquan said without hesitation, and then pointed to the servants around him, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and listen to Ah Qi. You are all ready for whatever you need or lack. No problems are allowed."
The waiters were making noises.
Fuquan personally took Qixing to the warehouse.
"Ah Qi, would you like some tea?"
"It's not the kind of coarse tea you drink. I have good tea hidden here. Your Majesty rewarded my god-grandfather with it, and my god-grandfather rewarded me with it."
"The same goes for Old Liu. He has been asked to stop working. He is taking a break, but he wants you to do the work."
"Ah Qi, just rest here with us."

….
The construction of the deep palace was stopped for three days, and there was a carnival in the capital for two days. One day, the official list was released, and the whole city watched the emperor's disciples. The other day, there was a grand banquet in the palace, where officials and noble families congratulated each other.
This spectacular scene was not only in the capital, but spread rapidly to all directions.
The Lu family had almost three horses a day, and the money they spent on the road was like water, and they quickly conveyed the news back to Yucheng.
When the last horse came to Yucheng, the people on the horse seemed to have returned to the capital city again and saw the grand scene of the parade, but the crowd was surrounded by a float with a message congratulating Mr. Lu on his high school gold medal, and the float passed by
, what is sprinkled is not flower petals, but big money, mixed with pearls.
Although it is only the size of a grain of rice, it is indeed a pearl, attracting countless people to compete for it, especially the poor. Even if it cannot be sold for a few dollars, it is still rare to use it as an accessory for their daughters.
What's more, this is the pearl of the Lu family, and it bears the glory of Third Young Master Lu.
This kind of scene is indeed what the master would do. The servant smiled, rushed into the house regardless of fatigue, and described the imperial city feast again in front of all relatives, friends and county officials. How could the master wear the emperor's clothes?
In the field, he debated essays and poems with celebrities, and the emperor gave wine and treasures...
Listening to this description, the people in the hall felt as if they had experienced it personally. There were bursts of noise, and Mrs. Lu burst into tears. The excitement lasted for half a month before it calmed down.
Mrs. Lu was about to enter Beijing before she could get over her fatigue.
"Hurry up and pack your things and we will enter the capital immediately." She urged her servants.
However, Mr. Lu did not want to leave immediately. He first asked his servant: "Young Master, will you successfully become an official?"
The servant nodded: "This time, your Majesty selected fifty people, divided into two lists: gold and silver. The ten people on the gold list will stay in the court and be assigned to various departments, and the young master will work as an editor in the Imperial Academy."
Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's safe."
Mrs. Lu was dissatisfied: "This has already been revealed to the world. What else is wrong?"
"I'm not worried about that bitch maid causing trouble," Mr. Lu said.
Fortunately, there was no such thing as blocking the street to complain.
"What are you thinking?" Mrs. Lu was angry and funny, "She dared to stop her? What kind of occasion was that? The emperor's guards were escorting her. If she dared to run out, she would be beaten to death on the spot."
Even if you beat her to death, you will inevitably get blood all over your body. Mr. Lu thought to himself, but it’s okay now. Let’s tell the world that if that wretched maid causes trouble again, she won’t be ruining their Lu family’s face, but the emperor’s face.
.
Yi Zhi is outstanding in talent and learning, and His Majesty has personally witnessed it. A mere little girl who is ungrateful and greedy deserves to die.
However, these words reminded Madam Lu, and she quickly asked her servant: "Are the Xiahou family planning to get married?"
Having already joined an official career, getting married can be said to be a double blessing, a match made in heaven.
It’s time to invite their parents to come to Beijing and arrange a matchmaker.
The servant hesitated and said, "Not yet."
Lu Rui on the side shouted: "I knew that Miss Xiahou must be angry because of Ah Qi and her brother."
She was escorted back from the capital. She did not dare to say that it was her fault that Miss Xiahou discovered Ah Qi. Fortunately, Lu Yizhi did not complain. He simply said in the letter that Miss Xiahou already knew about Ah Qi, but repeatedly promised that he had convinced Ah Qi.
, and also reassured the Xiahou family that he could solve this matter without making a big fuss. The purpose of not making a big fuss was to prevent Mr. Lu and his wife from coming to Beijing.
Only then did Mr. and Mrs. Lu decide to go to Beijing.
Now that she heard these words, Mrs. Lu was furious. She knew that this kind of thing could not be done without the intervention of her elders, so she urged again: "Hurry up, I will go to Beijing tomorrow!"
The servant hurriedly stopped him: "Madam, don't be anxious. The master said that we can discuss the marriage at the end of the year, and I will invite you to Beijing at that time. I have just entered the Imperial Academy at this moment, and I am not familiar with the affairs. I want to leave a good impression on Your Majesty as a dedicated person."
"
In order to make a good impression on the emperor, who was much more important than Miss Xiahou, Mrs. Lu sat back and felt a little more at ease.
"Okay." She waved her hand and the maids retreated, "There's no need to pack your luggage, let's go prepare new clothes for the capital."
There are only a few months until the end of the year.
…
…
time flies.
When Lu Yizhi walked out of the Hanlin Academy, he felt a slight chill on the tip of his nose. He raised his head and saw fine particles of snow falling down.
