Chapter 241 Huiyuan
Although the eldest princess was frightened, she was in good condition, which could be seen from the fact that she was still thinking about ogling.
The second princess is different.
When she was kidnapped by King Yan, a knife cut her neck. Although the cut was relatively shallow, it was still bloody. In the subsequent battle, she saw people dying one after another in front of her, and even more uncontrollably. Stop, I peed my pants.
At this moment, the second princess was covered in blood, covering her face and crying uncontrollably.
She has never been so embarrassed in her life!
Li Qingzhi looked at the second princess, then looked at Qi Jun: "Your Majesty, find someone to bandage the wound of the second princess, and find a few more people to take me back."
His family must be anxious since he has been out for so long, so it would be better to go back quickly.
"Okay, okay." Qi Jun said repeatedly.
He wanted to talk to Li Qingzhi more, but the situation was a bit chaotic now. He was afraid that the remnants of King Yan's party would be detrimental to Li Qingzhi, so he didn't say anything and watched Li Qingzhi leave.
As for the second princess, in fact, there was already an imperial doctor to check on the second princess without his instructions.
Seeing the second princess crying so loudly, I knew she was absolutely fine.
Seeing Qi Jun's reluctance to leave Li Qingzhi, the eldest princess immediately began to praise Li Qingzhi: "Father, Li Juren is not only good at learning, but also amazing in martial arts. Just now he used a knife to deal with those traitors. Just like chopping melons and vegetables, this is the first time I have seen such a heroic person in my life."
When the eldest princess praised others, her words were simple and straightforward, which made Qi Jun feel elated.
My son is so awesome, how happy I am!
Of course, Qi Jun did not forget to comfort the eldest princess: "Ajin, you are suffering..." "Father, you must also be very worried about us..."
The eldest princess and Qi Jun are deeply in love as father and daughter. When the second princess saw it, she cried even harder!
When she was arrested before, the eldest princess kept scolding their father, but as soon as the matter was settled, she went to sell it in front of her father!
This sister of hers is so shameless and cunning!
She couldn't say it yet, but after she said it, her sister would definitely have something to say in defense, and her father would definitely believe her sister more.
The second princess became more and more uncomfortable when she thought about it, and then she found that her sister had begun to ask for favors from Qi Jun.
She wants it too! This time she and her children suffered together, which was much more miserable than the eldest princess!
Her neck was also injured!
But her father was very partial and would definitely give her sister something good but not her!
How could she be so unlucky to have such a sister?
Qi Jun did not forget his second daughter. While compensating his eldest daughter, he also gave his second daughter a share.
But the eldest princess was trying to be nice, so he gave the bigger one to the eldest princess and the younger one to the second princess.
Alas, his eldest daughter didn't have any children, and her husband's family was in the same situation, so she always wanted to have more things around her.
Of course, there is another point, that is, his eldest daughter likes to enjoy herself and spends too much money.
He was worried that his eldest daughter would not have enough money due to the lack of money.
As for his previous anger towards his eldest daughter... After this incident, he felt that it would be good if he could live.
Moreover, this incident was caused by his soft-hearted failure to deal with Prince Yan in time... Qi Jun felt guilty.
After Qi Jun comforted his two daughters, he asked people to arrest Prince Yan and those around him.
He was busy until the evening.
If he hadn't been in much better health now, he would definitely not be able to bear it!
This time the matter was of great importance, so the eldest princess and the second princess were both brought into the palace.
After the second princess entered the palace, she cleaned herself up and cried with her children. But the eldest princess was different. She stayed with Qi Jun all the time.
After this, the eldest princess discovered that her father's body was much better than before.
Her father's health has really improved, and it seems that she can live a good life for a long time.
While there was no one around, the eldest princess inquired about Li Qingzhi with Lu Qingxi: "Eunuch Lu, my younger brother is really good at it. Has he specially trained it?"
Lu Qingxi said: "My eldest princess, this old slave told you quietly that Li Qingzhi had experienced fleeing from famine, and was once arrested by the King of Jin to dig stones... He was alone in "Escape from Famine" and "Redress of Injustice" "Record", you can tell what kind of life he lived before by just taking a look at it, can he be good at it?"
Lu Qingxi and Qi Jun both heard about Li Qingzhi's offer of one for a hundred.
The two felt that Li Qingzhi's skills must have been honed while escaping.
It's so difficult for this kid!
The eldest princess had not read much of Qingdu Sanren's books. After reading the beginning, she lost interest.
But she probably knew what was going on, and now that she heard about it, she felt a little sympathetic.
Her younger brother had a really bad life in the past!
Feeling that Lu Qingxi must like Li Qingzhi very much, the eldest princess praised Li Qingzhi again in front of Lu Qingxi.
Lu Qing smiled happily and felt that he had really chosen the right person for Li Qingzhi.
Qi Jun was also very moved.
The situation is so dangerous, but Li Qingzhi is actually willing to save people... He is really good!
Prince Yan is very hateful.
Prince Yan's mother had made him sick for so many years, so it would not be an exaggeration for him to cut Prince Yan into pieces with a thousand knives.
But he felt that he should not anger a child, so he let Prince Yan off. Prince Yan was not grateful at all and kept going against him.
It's better to have your own son!
On the other side, Li Qing finished rescuing the person and walked home.
Qi Jun arranged for guards to protect him and followed him immediately.
When Li Qingzhi walked to a bun shop, he stopped and looked at the guards behind him: "Brothers, do you have any money? I would like to borrow a tael of silver."
He was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring money.
The two guards immediately took out the money and gave it to Li Qing.
Li Qing took a tael of silver and said, "Thank you very much."
Turning around, Li Qingzhi bought a bunch of fist-sized buns and divided them between two guards.
The two guards ran out early in the morning and were already hungry. They immediately started to eat buns, and they only ate one, and Li Qingzhi had already eaten two.
By the time they were full after eating two, Li Qingzhi was already eating the fifth.
No wonder Li Qingzhi is so good...
...People eat so much!
When Li Qingzhi returned home and saw that he was fine, Jin Xiaoye and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened in the end?" Jin Xiaoye asked.
Li Qing insisted: "I rescued the eldest princess and the second princess."
He told Jin Xiaoye what happened in detail, including how he killed dozens of people by himself.
This sounded like bragging, but Jin Xiaoye squeezed Li Qing's stiff arm and believed it.
Li Qingzhi is indeed capable of doing this!
Li Qingzhi did not tell Li Laogen and the others that he went out to rescue the eldest and second princesses, and Li Laogen knew nothing about the situation.
That night, he complained to Li Qingzhi: "Why does Mr. Liu keep letting his servants live in our house? Those young men are so good at eating, they eat so much rice and noodles in one meal!"
Qi Jun left twelve guards at their home. These people usually stay in the house and have no sense of presence, but they still need to eat, and they eat a lot.
Li Qingzhi could only say: "Master Liu gave me the money."
Okay... Li Laogen muttered and left.
The next day, news spread in the capital that Prince Yan had kidnapped the two princesses.
As soon as Li Qingzhi went out early that morning, he heard people in Qingshi Lane talking about the princess: "That Prince Yan is simply not a man, he actually kidnapped two women!"
"I heard that the child in the palace was disfigured and it was Prince Yan who did it."
"Prince Yan's mother is not a good person."
"Prince Yanjun must have done no good things behind his back!"
…
Li Qingzhi listened for a while and found that public opinion was well controlled, so he felt relieved.
At this moment, someone said to him: "Li Ju people, there are some strange rumors. Some people actually say that you rescued the eldest princess and the second princess!"
"Is there such a thing? This sounds like a lie!"
"That's right! Li Juren is a scholar, how can he go to Yanjun Prince's Mansion to rescue the princess."
…
Li Qingzhi smiled and said nothing. In fact, this was true, but even if he said so, the people in front of him would not believe it.
Everyone again brought up the matter of the eldest princess coming to Li Qingzhi and asked Li Qingzhi: "Li Juren, is the eldest princess beautiful?"
"The princess's country is beautiful and fragrant." Li Qing insisted.
The eldest princess is not the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, but to the ordinary people in front of him, the eldest princess is definitely very beautiful.
The people around him looked at Li Qingzhi with envy.
Master Ping, who didn't have to go on duty because something happened, also came over. He happened to hear this and said to Li Qing: "Zixiao, it's better for you not to get involved with the eldest princess."
Although there are some who take the initiative to contact the eldest princess and seek benefits through the eldest princess, no capable person wants to get involved in the eldest princess's affairs.
They are afraid that after they have worked so hard to achieve a great career, they will be said to have taken advantage of the eldest princess.
"Okay." Li Qing agreed.
Life here in Li Qingzhi is no different from before, but Qi Jun and Lu Qingxi are already very busy.
Qi Jun was not a murderous person. He did not convict any officials who were on the side of King Jin and King Yan, as long as they were not closely involved with these two people.
But even so, there are still many officials missing in the DPRK, so that the two of them have no skills at all.
After two days of such busy work, things have become less busy.
Qi Jun slept for a long time, and after regaining his composure, he once again proposed to go to the Tianlao to visit. Lu Qingxi did not stop him this time and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has locked Prince Yan and Prince Jin in adjacent cells. I heard that they are getting along well these days."
"You are too narrow-minded." Qi Jun said.
Can Prince Yan and Prince Jin get along well? The two of them probably want to fight every day, right?
What Lu Qingxi said was indeed a joke, and he started laughing now.
Although he has been very busy and tired these two days, Lu Qingxi is in a good mood.
He felt that the sky was blue and the water was clear, and the people around him were more lovely than the last.
He had been worried before, fearing that after Qi Jun's death, he would live in misery or even die, but now he doesn't have to worry!
Qi Jun is in good health! There is also a serious heir!
He can stay with Qi Jun and retire comfortably.
The two came to Tianlao together and saw that King Jin and King Yan were quarreling and insulting each other.
But seeing them, King Jin immediately stopped talking.
He scolded Lu Qingxi and Qi Jun before, and then Lu Qingxi refused to give him water for several days... so cruel!
He was so thirsty that he almost drank urine!
Prince Yan stared at Qi Jun and Lu Qingxi fiercely, and glared at them: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Qingxi smiled: "Let's see your jokes."
Prince Yan's face was full of humiliation, and he wanted to tear off Lu Qingxi's face.
But he was imprisoned and couldn't get out.
"Qi Jun, you are ruthless, but so what if you kill us? You are still a piece of shit who has no descendants. If you want to give the throne to someone else, the ancestors of the Qi family will definitely not forgive you!" Prince Yan was tossed around. , insulting Qi Jun in various words.
If it were before, Qi Jun would definitely be angry.
But at this moment, he was not angry at all. When King Yan had finished scolding him, he said: "I'm really sorry, I didn't give up my children. Not only do I have a son, but I also have two grandsons."
"What did you say?" Prince Yan was shocked.
Qi Jun smiled and said: "Not only do I have a son, but I also have two grandsons."
Prince Yan and Prince Jin said together: "Impossible! This is impossible!"
If Qi Jun had a son, why would they bother? It's better to live in peace and contentment and be a prince.
"Nothing is impossible. My son is both civilized and military, has outstanding appearance, and is better than you in every aspect." Qi Jun looked proud.
"Don't put gold on your face." Prince Yan said.
Seeing their anger, Qi Jun became even happier: "I'm not trying to put money on my face. My son has a pen name called Qingdu Sanren."
Qi Jun came here this time just to make Prince Yan and Prince Jin uncomfortable.
So he said that and left.
Let these two people be curious and confused!
However, when he was about to walk out of the prison, Qi Jun said: "Break the legs of these two people. If they don't recover, cut their noses."
He was so soft-hearted before that his daughter was almost killed.
Now, he wants to make these two people useless, so that no one will try to rob them in prison.
However, Qi Jun's approach was unnecessary.
It is true that many officials turned to King Jin and King Yan, but most of them were just to please the new emperor in advance.
Now that these two people are in jail for rebellion, these officials just want to please Qi Jun.
They are just civil servants, and the only people they can use are servants. How about robbing a prison? Isn't this causing trouble for yourself? They won't do it!
At this time, officials in the capital knew to work hard to avoid being implicated.
The examiner who presided over the examination had never had contact with outsiders, and Qi Jun did not let anyone tell them about outside matters to avoid affecting them.
So, when they finally finished reading all the candidates' papers and came outside, they found that the sky in the capital had changed again.
Forget it that the King of Jin rebelled and was imprisoned, but now the Prince of Yan County is also in prison... Who will be the emperor in the future?
The emperor plans to choose someone from the clan?
But there are very few heirs in the Da Qi royal family. The so-called clans are all descendants of the cousins of the first emperor of Da Qi... It's really a bit far!
Forget it, this is not something they can worry about.
Qi Jun used to have a good temper and was polite to everyone, so officials in the DPRK and Central Government dared not say anything in front of him.
But now Qi Jun killed the King of Jin and the King of Yan County in one fell swoop... The officials in the court now behaved with their tail between their legs in front of Qi Jun.
"My dear friends, please bring me the papers for the general examination." Qi Jun said.
When selecting examiners for the conference this time, Qi Jun specially selected those who were loyal to him, including people from Lu Qingxi's side.
These people will be more fair when judging papers. Li Qingzhi, a judge who has a good relationship with Lu Qingxi, might even get preference.
Although the test paper is anonymous, and even copied at the beginning so that the examiner can see the candidate's handwriting, the writing style and the like can still let people see something.
Qi Jun is not in good health, but he has always attached great importance to the examination, and he would read the examination papers carefully before.
The officials didn't think much and sent a thick stack of test papers to Qi Jun.
Qi Jun opened it and the first thing he saw was Li Qingzhi's paper.
Li Qingzhi's calligraphy is really pleasing to the eye!
Seeing that Qi Jun seemed very happy, the official who handed over the test paper said: "Your Majesty, we all feel that this person can be a member of the Hui Yuan."
"I think so too! Hui Yuan chose him!" Qi Jun did not hesitate.
After reading Li Qingzhi's article, Qi Jun then read other people's articles, and then felt that his son's article was better.
"These articles are far inferior to Huiyuan." Qi Jun said.
Hearing what Qi Jun said, the officials responded and praised this meeting again and again.
For a time, the monarch and his ministers got along well with each other, and the two sides talked happily.
Soon, it will be the day when the results will be released.
Early that morning, Qi Jun came to see Li Qingzhi.
Now that King Jin and King Yan are in prison, the entire capital is clean, and there is no need to worry too much about Li Qingzhi's safety. Qi Jun is not as careful as before.
He has already begun to think about recognizing Li Qingzhi!
This time the results of the examination were released. Although he already knew the rankings of all the candidates who took the exam, he still came and wanted to see the results with Li Qingzhi.
However, he couldn't hold it back. As soon as he saw Li Qingzhi, he said: "You are Huiyuan."
Li Qingzhi knew Qi Jun's identity. When Qi Jun said this, he knew that he was Hui Yuan.
But the others didn't know about it. Li Laogen happened to hear it and muttered in a low voice: "You said he is a master, he is? Who do you think you are?"
Although he said this, when Li Laogen turned to look at Li Qingzhi, he said: "Ah Qing, I also think you must be a good scholar. You are so knowledgeable! You will be the number one scholar in the future!"
He is the one who wants to be the father of the top pick.
Mrs. Qian sat for two months and was already pregnant. She was bored at home, so she said, "Let's go out and look at the rankings."
Jin Xiaoye and the others also nodded, and they were very interested in looking at the list.
On the contrary, Li Qingzhi was not very interested in looking at the rankings. After all, he already knew that he was Huiyuan.
But everyone wants to go, and he will definitely follow...
"I have booked a restaurant nearby. I will go to the restaurant to stay there. If you want to see the list, you can go and see it." Li Qing insisted.
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
Qi Jun prepared two carriages for Li Qingzhi. As soon as Li Qingzhi got on, he found that the carriages were very luxurious inside.
The horses pulling the carriage are not ordinary either. You can tell at a glance that they are top-notch horses.
Everyone went to the restaurant first.
Li Qingzhi took Jin Xiaoye, Mrs. Qian and the others to the restaurant's private room, while Qi Jun, Li Laogen, Zhang Zao and others went to see the list.
The place to read the rankings was crowded, and it was inappropriate for women and children like Jin Xiaoye and others in the past.
But here in the restaurant, they can also watch the fun.
It's really lively. From a distance, you can see the crowds of people.
Li Qingzhi ordered a table of dishes and planned to eat some first, but Qi Jun and the others had already arrived at the place where the list was posted.
They arrived so late that they couldn't squeeze in. Qi Jun was a little confused when he saw this, but Li Laogen smiled and said to Qi Jun, "I have a way to do this."
After he finished speaking, he squeezed in through the crowd by taking advantage of his small stature.
Qi Jun, who is a little chubby and not used to being squeezed in the crowd: "..."
The guard around Qi Jun saw this and suggested: "Master, let's squeeze the people out of the way, and then you can go in?"
Qi Jun sighed: "Forget it, I won't compete with them for position."
As someone who has known for a long time that he will try out his rankings, he can just watch from the outside!
He mainly wanted to feel the excitement!
His son is Huiyuan!
Thinking like this, Qi Jun said to the guard beside him: "A Qing is really the most powerful, there is no one in this world who can compare with him..."
Sun Shangshu's second son participated in this examination and came early to see the rankings. Coming with him was his brother-in-law.
His brother-in-law was standing not far from Qi Jun. He happened to hear Qi Jun's words and immediately felt that Qi Jun was too good at blowing: "Some people are too good at blowing..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Sun covered his mouth.
Mr. Sun has already seen Qi Jun's appearance clearly. That's the emperor, the emperor!
The emperor said that the prince is great, why should others interrupt?
Mr. Sun didn't know where he got the strength, so he pulled his brother-in-law away.
Qi Jun looked back and saw only a large group of people. He thought he heard wrongly and continued talking to the guards around him.
At the same time, there was another person crowded in the crowd who couldn't help but glance at Qi Jun and then look at him again.
He had met the emperor and felt that the old man looked a bit like the emperor.
It should just be a bit similar, right? How could the emperor squeeze in here to look at the test list?
No matter what everyone is thinking, I will try to release the rankings.
"The first place is Li Zixiao from Jiang'an Province!" someone shouted, and someone else shouted something else.
Qi Jun was stunned for a while and laughed loudly: "I hit it! I hit it!"
He had obviously known Li Qingzhi's ranking for a long time, but now he was influenced by the people around him and looked happier than some people who had won by themselves.
The people around him thought he had been hit, and they all looked at him with envy.
Although this man looks quite young, if he can become a Jinshi, his life will immediately be different!
This old man is so jealous!
Chapter 242 Palace Examination
Qi Jun was laughing, and so was Li Laogen.
He was originally illiterate, but after following Li Qingzhi for a long time, he also recognized his own name.
He squeezed to the front just to find that "Li".
However, there were too many words on the posted list, and he was so dazzled that he couldn't see anything clearly for a while. He didn't know Li Qingzhi's ranking until someone called out that Li Qingzhi had won the first place.
Li Laogen suddenly jumped up and jumped three feet high: "My son won the first place, the first place!"
Hearing this, Mr. Li and the people around him all looked at him with envy - this old man is so enviable!
But the first name is Li Zixiao. As tall and handsome as Li Zixiao is, his father is actually such an old man who looks like a little monkey?
Of course, some people pay attention to Li Laogen, while others are just looking for their own names.
If you find it, you will cry for joy. If you don't find it after reading it, it will be like mourning your heir.
However, this time I tried it, many people were happy.
Because the king of Jin and the king of Yanjun fell one after another, the court now lacked officials. Qi Jun got more Jinshi this time.
Juren who participated in this examination had good luck.
Qi Jun felt that those people were able to have good luck because they were close to his son who was so lucky!
Touching his beard, he looked at the people around him proudly.
The person in the crowd who thought he looked like the emperor said: "..." There is absolutely no way this man is the emperor!
Not long after Qi Jun saw the list, Li Qingzhi also got the news - he had passed the Jinshi examination and was still a Huiyuan.
This news was not new to him at all, and he was not very excited, but the news that he was in the restaurant spread, and then a steady stream of people began to come to congratulate him.
Fortunately, people with insufficient status will not come to him. He can handle the remaining people.
He just couldn't eat the food well... Fortunately, he was full.
Li Qingzhi waited for a long time before Qi Jun and the others came back.
It was still very cold at the moment, but Qi Jun was sweating profusely, and he didn't know whether it was from running or excitement.
Li Qingzhi was worried that he was sick, so he stepped forward to give Qi Jun a hand and help Qi Jun adjust his physical condition.
Qi Jun suddenly felt a lightness all over his body.
This must be because he was in such a good mood when he saw his son!
Qi Jun said: "Aqing, congratulations!"
"Congratulations." Li Qingzhi smiled.
"Yes, we are happy together, we are happy together!" Qi Jun laughed again.
Now that Qi Jun and Li Laogen are back, they can go home!
Li Qingzhi smiled and said goodbye to those who came to congratulate him, and took Qi Jun and the others back home.
"Ah Qing passed the Huiyuan exam, so we must celebrate today! I specially invited a chef to cook and invited several tables of people." Qi Jun insisted to Li Qing.
"My Ah Qing is a chef himself." Li Laogen said.
Li Qingzhi became the Hui Yuan, and he will become the No. 1 scholar next, so he will be the father of the No. 1 scholar!
The Master Liu in front of him is just a relative of Concubine Liu, maybe not a brother...
Li Laogen started to tremble again in front of Qi Jun.
Qi Jun had learned to ignore Li Laogen, and he asked his guards to fetch the chef.
The chef Qi Jun hired was Duan Jin, the shopkeeper of Qingyun Tower, also known as Chang Duan.
He came to the capital for two years and spent two years digging stones in the quarry. Chang Duan, who was skinny and skinny, is now fat, and his whole body is plump and plump.
He used to have a family feud and was full of hostility, but now this hostility has completely dissipated.
King Jin is already in prison now! His revenge has been avenged!
Chang Duan smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. As soon as he entered the courtyard of the Li family, he said: "Masters, hello everyone!"
Chang Duan lived in Chongcheng County for a while, but at that time he had been staying at the braised meat shop near the new wharf, helping to print books, and rarely went out.
In addition, he has changed a lot... If he hadn't known his identity in advance, Jin Xiaoye wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
Li Laogen and the others didn't even know him. Everyone only knew that he was shopkeeper Duan.
"Hello, Shopkeeper Duan!" Li Laogen is not afraid of a cook. He went up to say hello and asked: "Shopkeeper Duan, is what you are cooking Qingyun Banquet?"
"Of course, yes." Chang Duan smiled.
Today, he has made up his mind to use what he has learned throughout his life to cook a delicious meal!
King Jin was imprisoned for treason!
Ever since he learned about this, he had been very excited and wanted to do something to thank Li Qingzhi. Now, he finally had a chance.
He must make Li Qingzhi eat satisfactorily and happily.
In addition, he really admired Li Qingzhi. He never expected that Li Qingzhi would become a prince after coming to the capital for a few months.
He thought that he could become Lu Qingxi's confidant and that he would be awesome if he could meet the emperor. But in the end, Li Qingzhi actually became the prince!
Chang Duan came here this time, not only with his four apprentices, but also with a lot of ingredients, even knives and pots.
He quickly occupied the Li family's kitchen and started cooking.
After a while, the tempting aroma began to come from the Li family's kitchen.
The neighbors of the Li family couldn't stand the smell.
The various fragrances emanating from the Li family every day were already making them miserable, and today it was even more extraordinary, the fragrance made their mouths water.
In the alley, people were talking a lot: "Did the Li family hire a chef to cook today?"
"Definitely, an average cook can't make it."
"The food the Li family cooks on weekdays is already comparable to those of restaurant chefs, and the food cooked today is even more delicious."
"I saw someone carrying tables and chairs in. Is the Li family going to have a banquet?"
"It should be so. I heard that Li Jieyuan passed the Huiyuan exam."
"I told him that he would definitely pass the Huiyuan exam, and he did."
"From now on, we can no longer call him Li Jieyuan, but Li Huiyuan."
"In a few days, I will probably call him Li Zhuangyuan!"
"Did Li Huiyuan already get Xiao San Yuan? If the Emperor chooses him to be the number one scholar in this imperial examination, then he will get □ □ again, and that would be Six Yuan!"
"The Emperor will definitely order it, right? It's a good sign to get six yuan."
"Li Huiyuan is amazing!"
"The Li family's food is so delicious, my kids can't bear it!" "How about we go say a happy birthday? Can Li Huiyuan give us some?"
…
These people chatted for a while and then went to knock on the door of Li's house.
Chang Duan was prepared for neighbors to come knocking at his door. He specially fried some small fish, pork belly, etc., and gave some as a gift when anyone came to say thank you.
As a result, more people came to express their congratulations.
As soon as Mr. Ping returned home, Mrs. Ping sent him to congratulate him.
He really wanted to say congratulations, so he cleaned himself up briefly, took some gifts, and walked to Li's house.
Arriving at the door of Li's house, Master Ping stepped forward to explain his identity.
Is he an official or an examiner during Li Qing's provincial examination? The people greeting guests at the door immediately welcomed Master Ping in and asked Master Ping to stay for dinner.
Master Ping couldn't stand the smell of the Li family's food. It would be great if he could stay and eat.
Master Ping walked in happily and saw several tables set up in the yard, with some vegetables already placed on them.
These dishes look so tempting! Lord Ping almost drooled, but of course he held it back and went in to find Li Qingzhi.
He soon saw Li Qingzhi, but...why did the person next to Li Qingzhi look so familiar?
Oh, he remembered that there seemed to be someone who looked like the emperor in charge of Li Qing's family.
This looks so similar!
Lord Ping walked towards Li Qingzhi and looked at the man curiously.
Qi Jun also saw Lord Ping and smiled at Lord Ping.
This man looks more like an emperor! He met the emperor a few days ago, and the emperor is like this!
Wait, this person, this person...
Could this person be the emperor?
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to look so similar!
The smile on Mr. Ping's face froze, and he stood there without daring to step forward.
Qi Jun smiled and said: "Master Ping!"
This man's voice is exactly the same as the emperor's! Lord Ping gave a stiff smile.
At this time, Lu Qingxi came out of the kitchen and said to Qi Jun: "Master, the banquet will be held in half an hour."
The person in front of him looks like the emperor. This newcomer, he looks like Eunuch Lu!
How could there be someone who looks like the emperor and someone who happens to look like Eunuch Lu? The two people in front of me are the emperor and Eunuch Lu, right?
Master Ping's knees went weak.
But before he could kneel down, someone helped him: "Master Ping, be careful."
The person who supported Master Ping was Li Qingzhi. Li Qingzhi supported him and introduced Qi Jun to Master Ping: "Master Ping, this is Master Liu."
Master Ping reacted quickly. When he heard Li Qingzhi's words, he knew that the emperor did not want to reveal his identity. He immediately wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said to Qi Jun in front of him: "Hello, Mr. Liu!"
"Hello, Master Ping!" Qi Jun said.
Master Ping's legs became even softer.
Lord Ping originally had a lot to say to Li Qingzhi, and wanted to share his experience of participating in the palace examination as a reference for Li Qingzhi, but now he met the emperor.
Anyway, he couldn't say a word.
Li Qingzhi probably doesn't need the palace examination experience he shared, since the emperor is already staying at the Li family!
Who is Li Qingzhi? Master Ping was led to find a seat and sit down, looking as if he was out of his mind.
In the end, his stomach growled twice before he came back to his senses. Then he found that there were more people present, and the emperor was no longer there.
There are so many people... Sitting next to him is Sun Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry.
Lord Ping smiled at Sun Shangshu in a daze.
Sun Shangshu also smiled at Lord Ping, soothing Lord Ping's hurt heart.
He could understand Master Ping's shock and discomfort.
In fact, he was quite miserable. Today, his second son, who was not particularly well-educated, had good luck at the end because the emperor got a few more Jinshis.
Although the ranking is relatively low, it is a great thing. Their family is ready to celebrate, but he, the father, received the emperor's invitation and came here quietly, so he cannot be at home to congratulate his son on the gold list nomination.
Of course, he was not the only one who came here quietly, there were also other important officials in the court who were deeply trusted by the emperor.
These people had no airs at all. They were sitting in the yard, each looking more confused than the other.
Yes, who would have thought that the emperor's son was actually Li Qingzhi, who had become famous in the capital during this period.
No wonder Eunuch Lu will seal the book for Li Qing, this is the little prince!
Qi Jun actually invited very few ministers, only seven or eight in total. They were all his confidants, the kind who had already known that he had a prince.
He also specifically told these people to come here secretly and to keep a low profile when they came here, calling him Mr. Liu.
In addition to the ministers of the court, Qi Jun also invited his trusted bodyguards - these people are all of high rank.
There are several tables for all the guests. The table where Mr. Ping is sitting is filled with ministers of the DPRK. Among them, Mr. Ping is just a little shrimp.
Master Ping wanted to shrink back, but these people all spoke to Master Ping gently: "Master Ping, I heard that you are Li Zixiao's provincial examination examiner?"
"Master Ping, I heard that you live here and have much contact with Li Zixiao?"
"Master Ping, tell us about Li Zixiao."
…
Master Ping spoke tremblingly, his voice trembling.
But as he talked, he slowly regained his composure and was able to treat the people in front of him as equals.
The emperor has seen them all, so there is no need for him to be afraid of these people?
After getting to know each other, Mr. Ping also knew some other things. For example, the person cooking at Li Qing's house today was the shopkeeper Duan from Qingyun House.
He couldn't even afford to go to Qingyun Tower to eat, but he didn't expect that when he came to Li Qingzhi's place, he could actually eat dishes cooked by the shopkeeper Duan of Qingyun Tower.
This meal was enough for him to remember and show off to others for a long time.
No, considering that he saw the emperor today, this meal can already show him off for the rest of his life! When he gets old, he will be able to talk about today's incident with his grandson for an hour.
Speaking of which, why is the emperor here?
These ministers, why are they here?
Even if Li Qingzhi is very smart, he is only a top pick at most. Is it abnormal to be valued so highly?
Master Ping was puzzled.
Li Qingzhi is being treated like a monkey by the ministers.
The emperor suddenly had a son, and these ministers were really curious!
However, out of curiosity, when they saw that Li Qingzhi's face looked somewhat similar to Qi Jun's, they accepted it, and their excitement was palpable.
How wonderful it is that the emperor has such a son!
They no longer have to worry about Da Qi having no successor!
It's a pity that the emperor told them not to reveal Li Qingzhi's identity, otherwise they would definitely hold Li Qingzhi and cry a lot, telling them how excited they were.
After eating this meal for a long time, it was almost getting dark before the adults who came here to eat said goodbye and left.
When they left, Chang gave everyone a food box.
This food box is used by Qingyunlou when delivering meals to people on weekdays. It has the words "Qingyunlou" on it. It contains two plates of dim sum and two dishes, as well as several bottles of Qingyunlou's secret sauce.
Use this sauce to make dishes, no matter how you make them, they will be delicious.
Master Ping returned home in a daze carrying the food box, and Mrs. Ping asked: "I asked you to say hello, why did you stay so long? Did you have dinner at Li's house?"
Master Ping nodded: "Yes, did I have dinner at Li's house?"
"How was the Li family's meal today? When you ate at the Li family, did they give you fried meat and fish?" Mrs. Ping knew that everyone who went to congratulate her was given fried fish and fried meat, and she was greedy!
"I don't know either... They gave me a food box." Master Ping took out the food box in his hand.
Mrs. Ping saw the words "Qingyun Tower" at a glance and exclaimed: "Qingyun Tower? It's actually from Qingyun Tower? This is great!"
It's really good. The dishes and sauces inside are worth at least five taels of silver together. Even the food box is more respectable when you take it out.
"Is it possible that the Li family ordered a banquet at Qingyun Tower?" Mrs. Ping asked again.
Lord Ping said: "We just ordered the banquet from Qingyun Tower. The Li family invited shopkeeper Duan Jin to cook the banquet!"
The Li family actually invited shopkeeper Duan to cook the banquet? That's shopkeeper Duan! Those princes and others who want to eat the Qingyun Banquet from Shopkeeper Duan have to queue up!
Mrs. Ping couldn't help but ask: "Does this Li Qingzhi have a good background?"
Master Ping said: "I don't know, but it should be."
Not to mention anything else, the emperor has been following Li Qingzhi today, accepting congratulations from others together with Li Qingzhi, as if Li Qingzhi was his son...
etc! Master Ping suddenly thought that after the emperor lost weight, he looked a bit like Li Qingzhi. No, it should be said that Li Qingzhi looked a bit like the emperor.
So... could Li Qingzhi really be the emperor's son?
"What do you say?" Mrs. Ping asked.
Master Ping saw his servant not far away and said to his wife: "Madam, I will tell you quietly in the evening."
So that night, a cry of surprise suddenly came from Lord Ping and Mrs. Ping's room.
Of course, this kind of thing happened not only in Ping Mansion, but also in the residences of other officials.
things.
In the Li family, Li Laogen was still heartbroken about the unfinished dishes at night - Li Qingzhi distributed some good dishes to his neighbors.
Such a delicious dish was made by the owner of Qingyunlou Duan himself. Li Laogen felt that it should not be given away, and he could just keep it at home and eat it slowly.
Li Qingzhi: "..." He doesn't want to eat leftovers every day.
After the examination results were released, the time for the palace examination was set.
The day before the palace examination, Du Yongning found Li Qingzhi.
In this examination, he was also on the list, ranked at the bottom like Sun Shangshu's second son.
In other words, in the past, there was a high probability that he would not be able to pass the exam.
Although he is ranked at the bottom, there is a high probability that he will only be a fellow Jinshi in the end, but it is a good thing if he can pass the exam!
Every three years, countless new candidates emerge. Next time he takes the exam, he might not even be able to pass the exam!
The Du family is considered a big family in Jiang'an Province, but only his uncle was an official before, and the others could not even pass the Jinshi examination.
If he can pass the exam, it will be enough to honor the family.
"Brother Li, tomorrow is the palace examination, and I will have to write an article in front of the emperor. I feel really uneasy." Du Yongning insisted on Li Qing.
Li Qing insisted: "Don't worry, just write whatever you want."
"That's the Emperor. In front of the Emperor, it's fine if I don't tremble. How can I write whatever I want?" Du Yongning sighed.
Qi Jun came to Li's house again. When he heard Du Yongning's words, he interrupted: "Just think of the emperor as me."
Du Yongning played cards with Qi Jun and chatted a lot. The two of them had a good relationship. He immediately said: "Uncle Liu, the emperor and you must be completely different. How can I treat the emperor as you!"
"Who said that the emperor is completely different from me? The emperor is the same age as me." Qi Jun said.
Du Yongning is a bit funny, so what if the emperor is the same age as Qi Jun?
He is the emperor, where is Qi Jun? He is just a wealthy businessman with a good temper.
However, Du Yongning knew that Qi Jun had good intentions, so he said: "Okay, when the time comes, I will treat you as the emperor."
"Yes, the emperor is just like me. You don't have to be afraid. Even if you fail to write the imperial examination essay, it will be fine. The emperor will not do anything to you." Qi Jun said.
Qi Jun was worried that Du Yongning would be so shaken when he saw him tomorrow that he would be frightened and unable to write an article, so he explained a few more sentences.
After explaining, he ignored Du Yongning and went to play cards with Li Damao and Li Ermao.
This card is really fun and there are many ways to play it!
Du Yongning stayed with Li Qingzhi for most of the day and had a meal.
Seeing that Li Qingzhi was extremely calm, his heart calmed down and he left happily.
The next day it was still dark, so Li Qingzhi got up, put on the clothes prepared by the court for the tributes, and headed to the entrance of the palace.
The palace examination started quite early.
Although he recognized his father as the emperor, Li Qingzhi never entered the palace or even got close to it.
When he came to the palace gate and saw the majestic palace gate... he felt nothing.
The palace is indeed quite big, and the palace gate looks majestic, but when he was in modern times, he had seen all kinds of high-rise buildings and visited the palace.
Looking at the palace in front of me, there is nothing surprising.
When Li Qingzhi came, some tributes had already arrived, and some tributes had not yet arrived. They lined up according to their rankings, and walked in neatly when the sky was slightly bright.
Leading the way was an eunuch, who must have been specially instructed by Lu Qingxi. He spoke softly and told Li Qingzhi a lot of precautions.
Of course, the tributes at the back also had people to tell them what to pay attention to.
Everyone rested for a while in the side hall before being led to the place where they took part in the palace examination.
Most of the tributes did not dare to raise their heads, but Li Qingzhi was very relaxed and looked up at the officials around him.
Many of these officials he had met before - these people had been to his house when Qi Jun held a banquet at his house.
Of course, there were some people he didn't know.
Li Qingzhi looked around and stood still.
Among the many tributes, he was definitely the least nervous one, and the others were more nervous than the last.
The officials were relatively relaxed and looked at the tributes in front of them with smiles.
Of course, the most people pay attention to Li Qingzhi.
Those officials who knew Li Qingzhi's identity felt that Li Qingzhi was worthy of being a prince, but his demeanor was different. However, other officials felt that Li Qingzhi looked a little bold.
But this Li Qingzhi's knowledge is extraordinary, is it normal for him to be bolder?
The tributes didn't wait long before Lu Qingxi's voice sounded: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Qi Jun, who was wearing bright yellow clothes, walked slowly over. The tributes all saluted Qi Jun according to the eunuch's instructions.
From beginning to end, most of them didn't dare to raise their heads to look at Qi Jun.
Qi Jun saw several familiar people in the crowd. Of course, his eyes mainly fell on Li Qingzhi.
This is his son!
His son is both civil and military, not only able to fight one against a hundred, but also has the talent of being the top scholar... He is really lucky to have such a son.
Qi Jun smiled and said a few words, and then said: "Today's palace examination question is about the way of kings and ministers."
Du Yongning stood behind the crowd, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
The emperor's voice sounded familiar, similar to the voice of Li Qingzhi's uncle named Liu.
Really curious, Du Yongning secretly raised his head and saw the "Master Liu" he had seen yesterday sitting on the dragon throne.
Du Yongning froze.
At this time, Qi Jun noticed Du Yongning's movements and smiled at Du Yongning.
Du Yongning: "..." Mr. Liu is the emperor? !
Chapter 243 Number One Scholar
Du Yongning suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.
At that time, Mr. Liu said that the emperor was the same age as him, and he also said that he could treat him as the emperor.
Du Yongning didn't believe it at the time, but now... Mr. Liu is actually the emperor!
Since Mr. Liu is the emperor, why does he run the Li Qing family? It's not just an occasional visit, but a long-term stay.
Didn't it mean that he was the elder of Li Qingzhi's biological parents? He looks a bit like Li Qingzhi!
Wait, Mr. Liu is so close to Li Qingzhi and plays with Li Qingzhi's children all day long. I'm afraid he and Li Qingzhi are really relatives.
So, Li Qingzhi is a relative of the emperor?
Du Yongning was almost shocked, but at this time, someone had already brought over tables and chairs for them, the new scholars, to take the imperial examination.
As the people around him sat down in front of the tables and chairs, Du Yongning's expression was still dazed.
But when he saw the pens, inks, paper and inkstones placed on the table in front of him, he slowly calmed down.
Mr. Liu is a very good-tempered person, which means that the emperor is a very good-tempered person.
In addition, the emperor is a relative of Li Qingzhi...
He has already played cards with the emperor, so he shouldn't have to worry about disgrace before the emperor?
No matter what, just take the exam well and the best you can do is get a Jinshi.
Du Yongning felt relaxed when he thought about it.
He is a somewhat enterprising person, but when he first took the scholar examination, he was suppressed by the academic administration at the time because he wrote articles that were in the same line as the independent scholars... After that, when he took the imperial examination, he would deliberately keep it. Point, learn from Li Qing and write articles that the examiner likes.
But this time is different.
The Emperor is Mr. Liu whom he is familiar with. When he and Mr. Liu chatted about Lingdu Sanren before, Mr. Liu had high regard for Lingdu Sanren.
Under such circumstances, it shouldn't matter if he mixed in a little bit of what he learned from Lingdu Sanren when he wrote the article?
That was exactly what he wanted to write!
Du Yongning thought for a moment, then started writing.
But the one who wrote faster than him was Li Qingzhi.
He has written articles related to the questions of this imperial examination, so he can write directly now.
However, because he recognized the emperor as his father, he was more bold when writing this time, and the whole article was written with a sharp edge.
After the tributes began to take the exam, Qi Jun stood up from the dragon chair, came to Li Qingzhi's side, and watched Li Qingzhi write the article.
The officials present who did not know Li Qingzhi's identity were a little surprised when they saw this scene. They must know that Qi Jun had never been like this before. On the one hand, Qi Jun was not in good health, and on the other hand, he did not want to disturb the candidates. .
With him standing next to him, candidates tend to perform poorly.
Why did the emperor stand beside Li Qingzhi this time? Isn't he afraid that Li Qingzhi will perform abnormally?
The officials looked at Qi Jun curiously, and then saw Qi Jun's face showing approval, as if he was very satisfied with Li Qingzhi.
Understood,
When the selection is held later, they must praise Li Qingzhi!
If you think about it carefully, Li Qingzhi is very knowledgeable and they are right to praise him.
Thinking of this, those who have read Li Qingzhi's previous articles and have some understanding of Li Qingzhi's writing style have already begun to think of words to praise Li Qingzhi.
Of course, among the officials present, there were also two people who were not very satisfied with Li Qingzhi.
They felt that Li Qingzhi's article was too standard.
Li Qingzhi's articles and calligraphy are indeed very good, but they were all written to cater to the imperial examination and lacked personal style.
I heard that Li Qingzhi is also very popular and many people like him...
They don't like people who are young, sleek, sophisticated and official.
What these two people were thinking in their hearts was not words to praise Li Qingzhi, but words to criticize Li Qingzhi!
Qi Jun was indeed worried that his presence would affect the candidates' performance, so he only read Li Qingzhi's paper and did not go to see other Gongshi's essays.
This made the Gongshi chiefs except Li Qingzhi breathe a sigh of relief.
Some of them sympathized with Li Qingzhi.
Being too famous is not a good thing. Even the emperor will pay more attention to it. I wonder if Li Qingzhi can write well with the emperor staring at him.
However, as soon as they thought this, Li Qingzhi put down the pen in his hand.
He's finished writing it!
When Qi Jun saw that Li Qingzhi had already written it, he was not polite at all and picked up the article written by Li Qingzhi to read it.
He watched Li Qing write this article, but reading it sentence by sentence is a completely different feeling than appreciating the whole article now!
He had known for a long time that Li Qingzhi was an independent person. He had also talked with Li Qingzhi and knew that Li Qingzhi had many fantastic ideas in his heart. He even had a heart for reform.
If someone else had such an idea, he might not support it.
But the person who had this idea was Li Qingzhi.
This is his son. Li Qingzhi is a man of great luck as Taoist Lu has repeatedly demonstrated.
So what if his son wants to reform? With his son's ability, he can definitely do it!
At worst, he would lend a hand and help.
Qi Jun, now in good health, is energetic in everything he does and begins to like those passionate young people.
After all, that's what his son is.
This article is really written with a sharp edge, even this word...the word is still Li Qingzhi's handwriting, but the writing edge is much sharper and looks more distinctive.
Good words! good article!
Qi Jun couldn't wait to share Li Qingzhi's article with others. He had a lot to say to praise Li Qingzhi.
But now there are still many tributes who have not finished writing their articles... Qi Jun can only hold back.
However, although one cannot praise Li Qingzhi, it is okay to show others Li Qingzhi's articles first.
Qi Jun gave the article in his hand to the minister beside him.
One of the ministers took the article from Qi Jun's hand, and the rest gathered to read it together.
Seeing this, they were all a little dumbfounded, especially those ministers who knew that Li Qingzhi was the prince and had gone to get to know Li Qingzhi specifically.
According to what they learned, Li Qingzhi's articles were solid and stable, and he himself was a steady person.
But now...this article is a bit radical.
Why did Li Qingzhi suddenly start writing articles like this?
But they couldn't deny that Li Qingzhi's article was very good, but... the method they had figured out before to get along with Li Qingzhi was probably no longer useful.
No matter what, this is the prince, so... let them think of some words of praise again.
People who know Li Qingzhi's identity think so, but there are also some officials who don't know Li Qingzhi's identity.
The two officials who thought Li Qingzhi was a bit too smooth before didn't know that Li Qingzhi was the prince.
Now, they have no other ideas but feel that their previous judgment on Li Qingzhi was too arbitrary.
You can tell a person's thoughts by reading his articles and words. This Li Qingzhi is clearly not someone they hate, but the kind of person they like the most!
They began to like Li Qingzhi, but those officials who liked Li Qingzhi's original writing style began to have problems with Li Qingzhi.
This Li Qingzhi is not from the same group as them!
The emperor likes Li Qingzhi's articles, so he also wants to carry out reforms, right?
They must give the emperor good advice!
Everyone had different ideas, but they all read Li Qingzhi's article carefully, and they all had to admit that Li Qingzhi's literary talent was outstanding.
And this word... Li Qing is so stubborn that he can write such a word at such a young age!
When the officials responsible for marking the papers were divided into several groups and all had read Li Qingzhi's article, another tribute scholar finished the article.
Upon seeing this, Qi Jun asked the eunuch to put away the man's article, and then asked the eunuch to lead Li Qingzhi and the man to the side hall to rest.
It would definitely be uncomfortable to sit here in a daze, so it would be more comfortable to go to the side hall. He also asked someone to prepare some food there.
After Li Qingzhi and the second person who finished writing left, Qi Jun said to the remaining tributes: "Just write slowly, there is still a lot of time."
The remaining tributes continued to write, but Li Qingzhi was already resting in the side hall.
The eunuch gave them tea and food, and told them where to go to the toilet.
"Thank you for the tip, father-in-law." Li Qing said with a smile.
Another person who had finished writing the article early saw this scene and couldn't help but curl his lips.
He always felt that he was very knowledgeable, and he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Li Qingzhi passed the Huiyuan exam and was still highly sought after in the capital.
But he didn't say anything. If after he said bad things about Li Qingzhi, Li Qingzhi's performance in the palace examination was far higher than his, then he would be embarrassed!
Li Qingzhi could feel that the person who came to the side hall with him didn't like him very much, but he didn't care and just ate the food here.
He didn't eat much this morning, so this was a good time to give himself some energy.
Li Qingzhi had a big appetite, so he ate a lot.
When the little eunuch saw that the plate in front of Li Qingzhi was empty, he took it away with a smile and replaced it with a full plate for Li Qingzhi.
Upon seeing this, Li Qingzhi thanked him again.
The young eunuch was very happy, but the people who were resting with Li Qingzhi showed some dissatisfaction, thinking that Li Qingzhi was being pretentious.
Also, is Li Qingzhi reincarnated as a starving ghost? Do you still eat so much today?
But he still didn't say anything.
After a while, someone else came to rest after finishing writing the article.
Some of these people, like the second person who finished writing the article, just sat still when they got here. They also felt that Li Qingzhi was eating and drinking in the palace without regard for the occasion.
But some people, after seeing Li Qingzhi eating and drinking calmly, imitated Li Qingzhi and also ate the snacks and drank the tea on the table.
Not long after, Du Yongning also came.
Seeing Li Qingzhi, Du Yongning stepped forward quickly and shouted: "Brother Li!"
He wanted to ask Li Qingzhi why the emperor stayed in Li Qingzhi's family.
But there are too many people here, so it is obviously inappropriate to ask this...
Du Yongning finally held it in and said nothing more, his face turned red.
"Brother Du, let's have something to eat." Li Qingzhi brought a plate of snacks to Du Yongning.
Du Yongning took the snack, took a bite, and started drinking tea.
Forget it, he won't ask anymore.
You will know sooner or later anyway!
The palace examination started very early, and the time to write articles for the tributes was very long.
If there is not enough time, no one except Li Qingzhi will be able to write the article well.
But even so, before noon, all the tributes had finished writing their articles.
They all gathered in the side hall to rest, and the young eunuch brought them food.
Some people didn't dare to eat more, but Li Qingzhi ate all his portion.
Someone else said after tasting the food: "My father said that the food prepared in the palace does not taste good and is still cold... We are so lucky. The food is not only hot but also tastes good."
Others also responded: "Today's meal is indeed delicious!"
Lu Qingxi came over to take a look and smiled slightly when he heard this.
In the past, the food given to the tributes and officials in the palace was indeed not very good, but this time it was different. This time, among the tributes, there was the emperor's son!
He specifically asked the imperial kitchen to prepare the food for the Gongshi. He also asked the eunuchs under him to keep the food warm so that it would not be cold by the time the Gongshi got it.
Lu Qingxi took one look and left quietly.
At this time, Qi Jun was discussing the palace examination rankings with others.
He could finally praise Li Qingzhi to his heart's content! Qi Jun opened his mouth and said a lot.
After Qi Jun finished speaking, several of his close ministers, those who had met Li Qingzhi, also began to take turns to praise Li Qingzhi and praise Li Qingzhi's articles.
People who originally thought Li Qingzhi's articles were a little too sharp said: "…" Is this kind of writing style popular now?
No matter what, the emperor and the ministers liked Li Qingzhi's article so much. They said that Li Qingzhi's article was not well written. Isn't this going against the emperor and the ministers?
In short, in the end, everyone was praising Li Qingzhi.
Li Qingzhi became the well-deserved champion.
It's different for other people. Some people like their articles and some don't, and there are all kinds of comments.
There are more than 300 tributes selected this time.
The ministers looked at them for a long time, and based on the examination rankings, they assigned these tributes to the top three.
Li Qingzhi is the number one scholar, and Du Yongning did not force himself to write articles that he didn't like that much this time. In addition, the writing style of his articles is similar to Li Qingzhi...
They all admired Li Qingzhi so much that they could no longer criticize his articles. He actually got a Jinshi instead of the same Jinshi he thought he would get at first.
After ranking, the next step is to parade!
Li Qingzhi put on the bright red clothes for the new champion, mounted a tall horse, and went out to parade.
The people in the capital have long been waiting to see the No. 1 Scholar parade through the streets. Those with powerful families booked private rooms in restaurants along the way and stayed in the private rooms to watch, while ordinary people crowded on the roadside to watch.
The parade had to pass by Qingyun Tower. Chang Duan specially reserved a box for the Li family in Qingyun Tower, and Jin Xiaoye and the others stayed here.
Li Qingzhi didn't come for a long time. Li Damao and Li Ermao were tired of waiting and asked Jin Xiaoye again and again: "Mom, when will dad come?"
Jin Xiaoye could only give an approximate time and led them to continue waiting.
Finally, Li Qingzhi and the others are here!
Among all the Jinshi, Li Qingzhi was undoubtedly the most handsome one, and besides, he was also the top scholar... There were bouquets of flowers thrown at him, and from time to time, knotted handkerchiefs were thrown at him.
Li Qingzhi felt like he had become a target.
He didn't accept any of these things so as not to get involved in romantic debts.
As a result, those things slipped down his clothes, fell to the ground, and were picked up by the people around him.
Li Qing's ear was so good that he could still hear someone talking about him in the private room of a nearby restaurant: "The number one scholar is so handsome. Is he married?"
"They are already married. I heard they even have two sons."
"Pity!"
"Yeah, it's a pity."
"I heard that the number one scholar has fascinated the eldest princess. The emperor was worried that the eldest princess would go to find him, so he had to ground her."
"Is there still this matter?"
…
People were talking a lot. When they were approaching Qingyun Tower, Li Qingzhi heard Li Damao and Li Ermao's voices: "Dad!"
He smiled and looked at the window and saw his family.
Jin Xiaoye stood behind Li Damao and Li Ermao, waving to him. Li Damao and Li Ermao even grabbed a handful of flowers and threw them at him...
Wait, is this the head flower that Jin Xiaoye once sold?
Jin Xiaoye made some head flowers for the two children to throw?
Li Qingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took some.
He didn't catch them all. There was nothing he could do. The two children's throwing accuracy was not very good.
After the parade, it was getting late, so everyone went home.
Tomorrow, the new Jinshi will go to the Qionglin Banquet.
Li Qingzhi had a good sleep at home, and at noon the next day, he put on yesterday's clothes and went to attend the Qionglin Banquet.
The Qionglin Banquet was held very grandly, and the new scholars sat down according to their rankings. Those sitting in the front could be seen by the emperor, while those sitting in the back were hardly noticed by the emperor.
Li Qingzhi sat at the front and was undoubtedly the one who received the most attention.
Qi Jun glanced at Li Qingzhi from time to time, feeling excited.
He has decided to recognize Li Qingzhi as soon as possible.
Both King Jin and Prince Yan were in prison, and their accomplices were almost cleared... In this case, he must reveal Li Qingzhi's identity as soon as possible.
This is his son, his prince!
After the Qionglin banquet started, Qi Jun winked at Lu Qingxi.
Lu Qingxi received Qi Jun's signal and said: "Your Majesty, the scholars you won this time are all talented people, especially the number one scholar, who is very talented and elegant. I have read the article written by the number one scholar and I like it. Very..."
Lu Qingxi is a big shot in Daqi! Seeing Lu Qingxi speak, many people stopped talking, and Lu Qingxi's voice became clearer.
After praising Li Qingzhi, Lu Qing said happily: "Your Majesty, I look at this old slave. The Number One Scholar looks very similar to you. I really feel kind to him when I see him!"
As soon as Lu Qingxi said these words, those officials who knew Li Qingzhi's identity
They all understood, and one of them said: "Your Majesty, I also feel that the Number One Scholar looks a bit like you, exactly like you when you were young!"
Another person said: "I just said that the Number One Scholar looks a bit majestic... Your Majesty, when I see him, it's like I see you!"
"Your Majesty, when you were young, you were as handsome as the number one scholar now!"
Lu Qingxi and these officials all said this, and those present who had not noticed this went to see Li Qingzhi and Qi Jun.
At this glance...Qi Jun and Li Qingzhi are indeed very similar.
Of course, saying they are exactly the same is a bit exaggerated, but Qi Jun is not young and has been sick before, so it is impossible for the two to be exactly the same.
Unexpectedly, the top scholar looked like the emperor... Everyone looked at Li Qingzhi with envy.
He looks like the emperor, so the emperor should treat him differently?
This Li Qingzhi is really lucky!
The second person to submit his answer sheet during the palace examination was finally selected by Qi Jun as the third best person. He was especially envious of Li Qingzhi.
He felt that he was not much worse than Li Qingzhi, but Li Qingzhi became the number one scholar and was valued by the emperor, but he was just the top pick...
As for Li Qingzhi's resemblance to the Emperor, it actually only resembles him a little bit. I don't know why those people said that...
Just as Tanhua was thinking this, Qi Jun suddenly said: "Seriously?"
Qi Jun's voice was trembling a little, and he seemed to be very excited... When everyone was wondering, Lu Qingxi said again: "Your Majesty, you can also tell?"
Qi Jun said: "I...I didn't pay attention to it before...the number one scholar, please come forward and let me take a good look."
Qi Jun called Li Qingzhi to come forward. Li Qingzhi did not hesitate and walked up to Qi Jun, ready to salute.
Qi Jun stepped forward to hold him, and then looked at his face carefully.
"It looks like, it really does look alike!" Qi Jun murmured, and then asked, "How old are you?"
There is no doubt that Qi Jun intends to recognize his relatives.
Li Qingzhi immediately mentioned his age. Of course, it was the same age as the daughter Liu Guifei gave birth to.
The little girl who died young was one year older than the original owner of this body, but the original owner had changed his age when he fled.
Qi Jun's hands trembled: "Where are you from? Where are your parents?" Qi Jun's reaction was a bit strange, and everyone present noticed this.
Those who didn't know Li Qingzhi's identity were curious and wanted to know why Qi Jun asked this.
At this time, Li Qingzhi spoke again, repeating what he had told Qi Jun before, saying that he did not know who his biological parents were.
As soon as he said this, everyone thought of one thing.
The father of the number one scholar they had met was thin and small... There was really no resemblance between that man and the number one scholar.
So...that's not the biological father of the No. 1 Scholar?
Who is the biological father of the No. 1 Scholar? Why did the emperor ask the champion like this?
Could it be that the number one scholar is related to the emperor?
Just as they were thinking this, they saw that the emperor's expression became even more excited, and he even shed tears.
"I have lost a son. If he were alive, he would be as old as you! There is a mole on his back that is exactly the same as the mole on my back..." Qi Jun wiped away his tears and asked Li Qingzhi: "Number One Scholar, you Is there a mole on your back?"
"There is one." Li Qing insisted.
"Show me the mole on your back." Qi Jun said immediately.
Qi Jun wanted to confirm Li Qingzhi's identity and let no one doubt Li Qingzhi's identity, so he simply asked Li Qingzhi to take off his clothes in public.
Once everyone present saw the moles on his and Li Qingzhi's backs, Li Qingzhi's identity was confirmed!
From today on, he has a son and an heir!
"Your Majesty..." Li Qingzhi hesitated.
"Ah Xi, help the champion undress!" Qi Jun said.
Lu Qingxi heard this and immediately stepped forward to help Li Qingzhi take off his clothes.
In fact, there is no need to take it all off, as long as Li Qingzhi can expose his shoulder blades and the mole on them.
For a moment, everyone watched the nine-thousand-year-old man take off his clothes as the new top scholar.
Chapter 244 End of text
There were many people attending the Qionglin Banquet.
Those who sat far away from Qi Jun could not hear what Qi Jun said clearly, and could only see the movement in front of them from a distance.
They didn't know why, so they asked the people around them: "What happened in front of me?"
"What happened?"
"Li Zixiao offended the emperor?"
…
If Li Qingzhi had not offended the emperor, how could he be suddenly summoned by the emperor? Eunuch Lu actually went to pull Li Qingzhi's clothes...
These people were extremely curious. If it were not difficult to go forward to see the specific situation, they would all want to rush to the imperial palace to have a look!
The people sitting in front were different. They had stopped talking for a long time, and they could clearly hear the conversation between Qi Jun and Li Qingzhi.
For a moment, they were shocked.
The emperor actually lost a prince?
According to the emperor... he suspected that Li Qingzhi was his prince?
God, could it be that Li Qingzhi became the prince again just after he won the first prize?
If this is the case, then he is very lucky!
A few officials who were more perceptive and had participated in yesterday's palace examination suddenly realized something.
During the palace examination, the emperor's attitude towards Li Qingzhi was very unusual. Did the emperor already realize something at that time?
In fact, the emperor may have known that Li Qingzhi was the prince!
No wonder the emperor valued Li Qingzhi so much, no wonder Lu Qingxi went to print Li Qingzhi's book, no wonder the emperor suddenly took care of both King Jin and King Yan!
Even the emperor's health suddenly improved a lot... Is it because he found the prince and his mood improved?
In short, many things they had doubts about before can now be explained clearly.
However, officials who were not so keen, or who had not participated in the palace examination, did not think so much at this moment and only looked at Li Qingzhi curiously.
Is Li Qingzhi really the prince? If Li Qingzhi is the prince, then he will be the emperor in the future, and he is the person they want to be loyal to...
Of course, those who were most surprised were the new scholars.
Before, although Li Qingzhi was the number one scholar, his status was actually similar to theirs, but now... Li Qingzhi is about to ascend and become an existence that they can only hope to achieve!
Tanhua's expression changed even more.
He didn't like Li Qingzhi, and thought that he would have less contact with Li Qingzhi when he became an official in the same court.
As a result, at the Qionglin banquet, the emperor actually wanted to recognize his relatives...
If Li Qingzhi becomes the prince, he will have to listen to Li Qingzhi's orders from now on!
Li Qingzhi must not be a prince!
Tanhualang, who thought he looked similar to Li Qingzhi, but actually looked average, prayed secretly in his heart.
At this time, Lu Qingxi had already unbuttoned Li Qingzhi's shirt.
It was now March, and the weather had already turned warm. Li Qingzhi was not afraid of the cold, so he wore very little.
Lu Qingxi pulled off his clothes, exposing his left shoulder blade.
There is a particularly obvious black mole on his shoulder blade.
Qi Jun burst into tears when he saw it: "This mole is exactly the same as the mole on my back!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, this mole is exactly the same as the mole on your back!" Lu Qingxi also said.
"Axi, please undress me." Qi Jun said.
Lu Qingxi quickly stepped forward and helped Qi Jun undress and untie his belt.
Soon, Qi Jun revealed his left shoulder blade. There was also a black mole on it, which was the same as the mole on Li Qingzhi's back.
"Ask the imperial doctor to come and have a look! My dear friends, you can also come and have a look!" Qi Jun said.
The few people who knew Li Qingzhi's identity were the first to step forward. Seeing this, other officials also stepped forward.
They clearly saw that Li Qingzhi and Qi Jun had an identical mole on the same position on their backs.
Li Qingzhi and Qi Jun are also somewhat similar in appearance. So, Li Qingzhi is really a prince?
"Congratulations to the Emperor for finding the little prince!"
"Your Majesty's great blessing reaches heaven!"
"The little prince is truly a man among men!"
…
Important ministers of the DPRK came forward to congratulate him one after another.
They had never heard that the emperor had a prince living abroad before, but the emperor had said so, and there was no way it was false!
They have no other thoughts now, they are just happy.
You know, they had been worried before, fearing that Qi Jun would have no successor. Now that Da Qi has such an outstanding heir, how can they not make people happy?
Seeing Qi Jun crying, some veterans couldn't help wiping their tears.
Xinke Tanhua: "..." Li Qingzhi is really the prince! If he had known this, he would have gone to talk to Li Qingzhi yesterday, and then ate and drank with Li Qingzhi, following Li Qingzhi's lead.
It's too late for him to regret it now!
Tanhua Lang was in a complicated mood, but the others were fine.
But it was a coincidence that they had a lot to say to others. Those behind who had not heard what Qi Jun and Li Qingzhi said clearly and who did not know much about the situation in front were asking around: "What's wrong?"
"What's going on up front?"
"Why did Li Zixiao and the emperor suddenly take off their clothes?"
…
The person in front finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned to the back, and spoke to the person behind: "Li Zixiao is the prince!"
"The emperor thinks that Li Zixiao looks like him, so he recognizes his kin in public!"
"The mole on Li Zixiao's back is exactly the same as the mole on the emperor's back!"
"It turns out that the emperor lost a prince before!"
…
The Jinshi in the rear were extremely surprised when they heard this.
Du Yongning was the only one who was very calm after hearing this.
It turns out that Li Qingzhi is the prince, no wonder the emperor always stays at his house.
Wait, Li Qingzhi is the prince!
Li Qingzhi is actually the prince? !
Fortunately, he didn't have an enmity with Li Qingzhi at the beginning. Otherwise, what kind of official would he be if he had a prince as his enemy?
Qi Jun asked the officials and the imperial doctor to see the situation of himself and Li Qingzhi.
After confirming Li Qingzhi's identity, he put on his clothes, and then immediately issued a decree for Li Qingzhi to move to the palace. He also said that he would worship his ancestors immediately and write Li Qingzhi's identity on a jade plate.
Qi Jun acted resolutely and finalized the matter directly at the Qionglin Banquet. Not only that, he also immediately asked Li Qingzhi to move into the palace.
He also immediately asked the Royal Forest Army to pick up Li Qingzhi's family.
There was a reason why Qi Jun was so anxious. He was afraid that something might happen to Li Qingzhi.
He didn't like either the King of Jin or the King of Yan. In fact, after he was sure that he could not have children, he wanted to adopt young children from the clan and raise them with his own hands.
But King Jin was too powerful at that time!
He just showed his affection for a child of the clan, and that child's legs were broken and he will be a cripple for the rest of his life.
He didn't want to harm anyone, so he gave up the idea. After all, at that time, King Jin seemed pretty good.
Later, King Jin exposed the incident at the quarry, and he was dissatisfied with King Jin, so he began to think about other things.
Later, Lu Qingxi took Qi An into the palace.
He liked Qi'an very much, but he was very worried at the time, fearing that something might happen to Qi'an.
During that time, he, Concubine Liu and Lu Qingxi were on guard, and Qi An was finally safe. However, after he revealed his intention to let Qi An go to the jade plate, Qi An was immediately disfigured.
He was in poor health, and he might die suddenly even if he was fine. If he really faced off against King Jin and King Yan, there was no guarantee who would die first.
Moreover...even if he takes care of these two people, there is still no suitable person to entrust the throne to.
The people in the clan have basically been raised to waste.
He could only endure it.
But in his heart...it must be as unpleasant as it is unpleasant.
For example, he previously planned to give the throne to Prince Yan, but Prince Yan harmed Qi'an, and Prince Yan's mother also killed his daughter, causing him to stay in bed for more than 20 years...
How could he not hate it?
But he had no other choice and was afraid of harming others.
Now, he finally has other options, and Qi Jun can't wait to finalize it all!
Besides... Prince Jin and Prince Yan were both in prison, but he was still worried.
Compared to outside the palace, Li Qingzhi was safer staying in the palace.
Qi Jun's actions made all the officials present realize one thing, that is, the emperor really valued Li Qingzhi.
An official couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, do you want to check again?"
However, as soon as he spoke, the others looked at him speechlessly.
Does this person really think that the emperor only noticed Li Qingzhi today?
Look at how anxious the emperor is, and look at the emperor's actions some time ago that are completely different from before...
The emperor is sure that he already knew about Li Qingzhi's existence years ago!
The investigation that should be carried out must have been completed long ago.
This is just a formality today!
Sure enough, Qi Jun said: "No need to check again, I will not admit my mistake."
Of course Li Qingzhi is his son, even if he is not, he will let Li Qingzhi be. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about his body...
His health was very poor and no one could cure him, but since he was with Li Qingzhi, his health was getting better day by day.
Who can resist such a temptation?
For a dying person, allowing him to continue living in good health is a kind of reincarnation for him.
Although he is the emperor, he is also
He is an ordinary person who cannot resist the temptation to live a healthy life.
The previous emperor did all kinds of unbelievable things for the sake of the Immortality Society. He didn't do it before because he didn't believe it, but now he really feels the benefits.
He wanted Li Qingzhi to stay by his side.
Li Qingzhi could actually feel Qi Jun's thoughts.
He was anxious to help Qi Jun with treatment, just to make Qi Jun feel the benefits.
Qi Jun's life in the Li family is very happy, even happiness that he has never felt before. Just because of this...
Even if Qi Jun found out that he was not the prince, he would help cover it up.
After Qi Jun issued the order, he asked Li Qingzhi to sit next to him.
Li Qingzhi was not afraid of the stage. He sat next to Qi Jun and served Qi Jun some food, telling him what was good and bad to eat.
Qi Jun smiled broadly and felt extremely satisfied.
Seeing this scene, everyone present became more and more sure of one thing.
The emperor must have recognized Li Qingzhi as the prince!
As for why I'm saying it now, it's probably to make the prince look good.
This is the only No. 1 pick in their Daqi who has passed six yuan!
Everything that happened at the Qionglin Banquet was spreading quickly.
Bluestone Lane.
Li Laogen was talking to his neighbors.
When he first came to the capital, he found that Juren's status in the capital was not high, so Li Laogen hid at home all day and stopped bragging to others.
But it's different now!
Now Li Qingzhi has passed the exam!
He is now the father of the number one scholar, and it doesn't matter if he goes outside, but in Qingshi Lane, he is already very respectable.
"My Ah Qing is really smart."
"He can do it all."
"It's nothing to take the top exam! My Ah Qing can easily pass the exam!"
…
Li Laogen was very proud when he spoke, his beard stood up, and he was spitting everywhere, showing off the few yellow teeth left in his mouth.
But those people in front of him did not dislike it.
After all, the man in front of him is the father of the number one scholar.
It only takes three years for a top pick to emerge! Who wouldn't envy it?
People in Qingshi Lane now feel that Li Laogen is really lucky.
The son he picked up for nothing turned out to be so promising!
As these people were talking, suddenly a group of soldiers wearing fine armor came over on tall horses.
Li Laogen was timid. When he saw these people, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
But soon, he found that these people had dismounted and were all smiling.
Is this an official mission to congratulate you? There was such a person here a few days ago!
Li Laogen breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people around him: "My son went to see the emperor. He should have been rewarded by the emperor!"
The people in Qingshi Lane feel the same way.
After all, looking at the looks of these people in front of them, one can tell that they are not looking for trouble.
Everyone looked over curiously, wondering what these people were doing, and then saw these people walking towards Li Laogen.
"Hello, are you Mr. Li?" the leader asked.
"Yes, yes." Li Laogen nodded repeatedly.
After nodding, Li Laogen suddenly realized something was wrong.
He had never seen the person in front of him, but the person behind him... wasn't that the guard around Mr. Liu who had stayed at his house?
That man even chopped firewood for his family!
He had no one to chat with at the time, and he even approached the other person and talked a lot with this person.
Why is he riding a big horse and wearing such fine clothes now? Just like an official.
Li Laogen shrank his head and looked at the other party.
At this time, the person in front of him spoke again: "Master Li, Li Zhuangyuan is the emperor's exiled prince. The emperor has recognized him. From now on, he will be the prince and will live in the palace... The emperor asked us to bring him My family will take me into the palace, please go in and say, pack your things and follow us."
"What did you say?" Li Laogen asked.
He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Although he has learned Mandarin better and better since he came to the capital, he may still hear it wrong.
If nothing else...how could Li Qingzhi be the prince?
Is he just a refugee who fled to Chongcheng County?
"Li Zhuangyuan is the prince, and the emperor asked us to bring his family into the palace." The imperial guard who came to pick him up said again in a good-tempered way.
"This is impossible. Li Qingzhi is my son, what's wrong with him, prince?" Li Laogen said.
"This is absolutely true," the man said.
Li Laogen still didn't believe it. He glanced at the man and then ran into the house: "Xiaoye, Xiaoye, come out quickly, there are some liars outside!"
Royal Forest Army: "..."
Although he was regarded as a liar, he still had to do what he had to do.
The people from the Royal Forest Army entered the house and saw Li Laogen talking to Jin Xiaoye.
Jin Xiaoye looked at the people in front of him and saw several familiar faces among them.
Let these people explain their intentions...
Jin Xiaoye said: "I'll pack my things right away."
Mrs. Qian left not long ago.
She will not stay in the capital, but will return to Chongcheng County.
This is also for the safety of both parties that Li Qingzhi considers.
Mrs. Qian knows a lot of things, and she might leak them if she is not careful, but if she goes to Chongcheng County... The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so there is actually nothing wrong with her.
To be honest, there are always a lot of strange rumors in this world.
In Li Qingzhi's previous life, there were rumors that Qianlong was the son of Mr. Chen Ge...
Therefore, the Li family now only has disciples Jin Xiaoye, Li Damao, Li Ermao, Li Laogen, Zhao Xiaodou, Zhang Zao and Chang Zhan.
They have quite a lot of stuff, but they don't have to pack it themselves. The people from the Royal Forest Army will pack it for them.
Seeing what Jin Xiaoye said, Li Laogen hurriedly approached: "Xiaoye, what are you doing? Aren't they liars?"
Li Laogen spoke in the Chongcheng County dialect, so Jin Xiaoye said, "They are not liars."
Li Laogen said: "How is it possible! Li Qingzhi cannot be the son of the emperor!"
"Dad, do you know who the emperor is?"
"The emperor is the emperor!" Li Laogen looked at Jin Xiaoye in confusion.
Jin Xiaoye said: "Dad, Mr. Liu who often comes to our house is actually the emperor."
"This is impossible. Isn't he a wealthy businessman?"
"Dad, haven't you noticed? Mr. Liu, the emperor, looks very similar to Li Qingzhi... He has long discovered that Li Qingzhi is the prince, but he didn't say it before, but now..." Jin Xiaoye told Li Qingzhi Laogen explained.
Li Laogen trembled when he heard this, and finally asked: "Xiaoye, you didn't lie to me? Then Mr. Liu, is he really the emperor?"
"I didn't lie to you." Jin Xiaoye said.
When Li Laogen heard this, he fell back and fainted!
No, it's not necessarily true that he fainted. He was very careful when he fell and didn't hurt the back of his head, so it's most likely that he was fake.
Jin Xiaoye: "..."
Royal Forest Army: "..."
Li Laogen was indeed faking. He was not sick or in trouble. How could he really be fainting?
But right now, he wished he could actually pass out.
It's terrible, really terrible!
Li Qingzhi turned out to be the prince, and Master Liu turned out to be the emperor!
He was just happy that his father became the number one scholar, but as a result, he became the father of the prince?
Of course, the most important thing is that he offended Mr. Liu!
Li Laogen knew very well that Mr. Liu didn't like him.
Now that Mr. Liu wants to snatch his son from him, will he want to kill him?
But he doesn't want to die!
Li Laogen felt sad for a moment, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Jin Xiaoye and others noticed this scene: "..."
No matter how troubled Li Laogen was, the imperial guards carried him away.
Jin Xiaoye made arrangements for others.
She arranged for Chang Zhan's apprentice to go to Juewei Zhai in the capital, and took everyone else into the palace.
Zhang Zao was already dizzy at this time: "What... what on earth is going on?"
How did his husband become the emperor's son?
He was originally just an ordinary farm boy who was kicked out of the house by his biological father and stepmother and almost starved to death. But now, he actually wants to enter the palace?
Zhao Xiaodou was also frightened: "I...am I going to be a eunuch in the future?" Everyone in the palace, except the prince, seems to be a eunuch?
Jin Xiaoye couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, you don't have to be a eunuch."
Li Qingzhi always felt that it was inhumane to keep a group of eunuchs in the palace. How could he let Zhao Xiaodou be a eunuch?
Li Damao, on the other hand, was very calm: "Mom, if dad is the prince, then I am the grandson?"
"Yes, you are the emperor's grandson." Jin Xiaoye said.
A group of people entered the palace while talking.
When they entered the palace, the Qionglin Banquet was already over, and Li Qingzhi and Qi Jun also came over.
Seeing that Li Laogen was being carried, Qi Jun was a little speechless: "What's going on?"
"I heard that you are the emperor and he fainted." Jin Xiaoye said.
Qi Jun suddenly felt a very happy feeling.
On the other side, Li Qingzhi glanced at Li Laogen and knew that Li Laogen was pretending to be faint.
The eyeballs are still moving!
But let Li Laogen pretend for a while. Although Qi Jun won't do anything to Li Laogen, Li Laogen must be very scared, so he won't force him to talk to Qi Jun.
The Li family had already entered the palace, and Qi Jun arranged their accommodation.
Of course, the most important thing is to live close to him.
He wanted to see Li Qingzhi and Li Qingzhi's son every day!
Qi Jun was very excited and had been helping Li Qingzhi pack his things. He also gave many good things to Li Qingzhi. He wished he could give all his private treasury to Li Qingzhi.
However, as the sky turned dark, Li Qingzhi persuaded him to leave and let him go back to rest.
He also needs to rest. If he wants to pack things, he can pack them tomorrow.
The three children were the calmest and were quickly led to bed by the palace maids and eunuchs. Li Qingzhi went to the largest room with Jin Xiaoye.
The bed in this room is the most luxurious bed they have ever seen. The whole bed is like a room, divided into several rooms.
The things on the bed are also very good, and the bedding is worth as much as gold.
Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye lay down side by side and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect..."
This world is far better than the apocalypse he has experienced, but he still doesn't like this world where the superiors can control the lives of the inferiors at will.
Many people in the capital who were born into wealth and have always been aloof do not take the lives of their subordinates seriously.
They are used to it.
But Li Qingzhi was not used to it.
He also doesn't want the country he lives in to be invaded by foreign enemies and fall into dire straits.
Therefore, he has been planting some revolutionary seeds, hoping to influence some people and develop science and technology.
To put it simply, he has been rebelling secretly.
Unexpectedly, he is now lying in the palace...
But this is also good. Many things are easier to do, but he has to take his time to avoid causing dissatisfaction with the bureaucratic class and the landlord class, which may lead to big problems in the end.
He has lots and lots of time and is not in a hurry.
Even... at worst, he will rebel on his own in the future.
"Who would have thought of that?" Jin Xiaoye also sighed.
She thought that the most she could do was run a small business in Chongcheng County to make a little money, but now...she was lying in the palace.
Fortunately, Li Qingzhi remained unchanged and still held her hand and refused to let go.
Jin Xiaoye added: "However, it should get better and better in the future."
Li Qingzhi also said: "Yes, it will definitely get better and better in the future."
