Chapter 903 Miscellaneous discussion before returning to Beijing
Just like the process when Yunxi got married, Zhu Zanyi dressed up for the wedding in the early morning under the service of the palace servants, and led the officials around the king to welcome him.
Ke Yunxi had just gotten up at this time and was still having breakfast leisurely with Sha'er and Xiyi.
No, actually he wasn't too leisurely either. He looked at the two of them who looked very tired from organizing Zhu Zanyi's wedding these days, and asked with concern: "Aren't you too tired?"
"That's not true. It's not like I'm working. How could I be so tired? It's just that the wedding day is too urgent and a lot of things have to be rushed out. There are too many things to keep an eye on, which makes me tired," Li Sha'er said.
.Although the two of them are nominally in charge, Xiyi is not as good at managing things as she is, and she does most of the work. But the strange thing is that Xiyi feels as tired as she does.
"You two can have a good rest today." Yunxi said.
"Huh? Don't we have to attend King Jiao's wedding?" Xiyi asked.
"Zanyi's parents are dead, and her grandparents have also passed away a long time ago. The person my new daughter-in-law will meet over tea tomorrow is my husband. Xiyi, Sha'er, tomorrow morning you two and your husband will meet Zhanyi and his wife together," Yunxi said:
"Xiyi, this is all written in the royal wedding charter. Didn't you read it? Besides, when you entered the palace, you and your husband went to visit the Emperor and Concubine Ning."
Xiyi stuck out her tongue and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm so tired these days, how can I have time to watch that."
"Hey, Yi'er, you are also one of the four concubines. It's better to know more about these things." Yun He said.
"I know!" Xiyi said insincerely upon hearing this. After speaking, she lowered her head and divided the small piece of pastry on the plate into two halves with a spoon, and slowly put one half into her mouth.
"Husband, according to the usual practice, only one person should accompany His Majesty to receive you. I'm not going to go tomorrow. I'll just go with Sister Xue to meet the King and Princess." Li Sha'er said.
"I happen to be very tired these days, so I need to take an extra day of rest."
"But now that Xiyao is not here, it is not the time to follow the usual practice." Yunxi said: "Get up on time tomorrow morning and go with your husband to meet Mr. and Mrs. Zanyi."
Li Shaer was a little touched. Not only was it the superficial meaning of meeting Zanyi and his wife, her current status was lower than that of Xiyi, but she was asked to appear with Xiyi. She was not Xiyi who didn't care about everything.
Understand what this means.
Yunxi looked at what she wanted to say, and held her hand before she could speak, without speaking. Li Shaer didn't want to speak for a moment.
But this only happened for a moment, and soon they let go again. As soon as they let go, Xiyi raised her head, put down her chopsticks and spoon, and said: "Husband, Sister Li, I am already full, go back
Gone to rest."
"Go ahead." Yunxi said, "My husband will send someone to call you before noon."
"I know." Xiyi agreed with a smile and returned to her room.
"I don't know why. Could it be that her body is too weak? Even sleeping so much every day these days is not enough." Yunxi said.
"Sister Xue probably hasn't recovered from the injuries she sustained when she was exposed to witchcraft in Guangzhou," Li Sha'er said.
Yunxi echoed a few words, but kept staring at Li Sha'er's eyes. Li Sha'er was a little embarrassed by his look and said with a smile: "Husband, what's wrong?"
Yunxi wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips, thinking: 'Let's wait until we return to Beijing.'
Then he said: "I will receive tea from my new wife tomorrow, and I will set off back to the capital on the 22nd. If everything goes well, I will arrive in the capital around March 10."
"The following move has made a great contribution this time. I appointed him as the commander of the right guard of the navy and hereditary commander. He will escort us back to the capital in two days."
"Really?" Li Shaer's eyes lit up: "I'm going back to Beijing the day after tomorrow. It's great to see my brother whom I haven't seen for four months." What's more important is that the two children haven't seen each other for half a year.
pass.
But while she was happy, she suddenly thought of something and asked: "Husband, even if the examination is postponed for a month, it will start on the eighth day of March. My husband only returned to the capital on March 10, which is a bit late. Could it be postponed further?"
How many days?”
"No need." Yunxi said: "I have already sent the test questions to the capital, so there is no need to worry about the policy questions; I also reviewed the test papers after they decided on the candidates who won the tribute, and ranked those who are not to my liking. So I am taking the test
It doesn’t matter if you return to the capital after you’re done.”
"But in this way, the test questions will be known to the examiner in advance. What if someone leaks the questions? There are also adjustments to the examination room. What should I do if someone practices malpractice for personal gain?" Li Sha'er, who was detained by the local police station in Shanghai for a while, is really worried about the Ming Dynasty.
There is not much confidence in the integrity of officials.
"Don't worry about the test questions. I have not given them to the examiner. The test questions will be known to the examiner one day before the test and printed on the test paper."
"As for favoritism and fraud in the examination room, the promotion officer I selected can still be trusted and will not collude with internal or external parties to allow candidates to cheat."
"What's more," Yunxi smiled confidently: "In the end, my decision on whether they can be on the list depends on the policy, not the scriptures. The policy topic I set this year is to let them know the test questions and collude with people outside the venue to do the questions.
, and it may not be possible.”
"What topic did your Majesty ask? Is it so difficult?" As soon as Li Shaer finished speaking, she realized that she shouldn't ask, and said hurriedly: "I made a mistake."
"One of them is not difficult, it just depends on whether you have read the imperial newspaper during this period; the other is a bit difficult. If you are an official in the government and think carefully about my policies, you may be able to think of these people who have not entered the court.
I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed," Yunxi said.
Li Sha'er was actually a little curious, but she stopped asking and said, "Husband, I'm also sleepy. Go back and rest."
"Have a good rest. My husband will send someone to call you at noon." Yunxi said.
