Chapter 224 Shangyuan

There is actually a while before the imperial examination, and now that the Yuan Dynasty has not passed, so there is no need to rush for a while.

However, after discussion with Yaoyao in the past few days, a memorial on how to standardize the imperial examination system has been gradually improved.

Even this thing seems insignificant, it is nothing more than that it has made some changes in form.

Including, it seems that for officials who set the questions, they are not allowed to leave the designated location after they finish the questions, from closed questions, closed printing to heavy escort, and the selection of examiners during the exam.

Each step is completed by a different person. It can be said that after writing it out, look at this thing.

Even Li Chengqian felt that he was simply nitpicking, but if you think about it carefully.

What is they doing this? It is not to give more opportunities to more ordinary people and scholars from poor families.

Three days later, the time when this thing was about to be perfected was the day before the Lantern Festival. When he planned to continue to listen to politics this day, he didn't realize that it was already a holiday today.

If Luli hadn't suddenly reminded him, he probably wouldn't have reacted.

"Your Highness, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so you don't have to go to Mingde Hall."

“…”

He was stunned for a moment and then said, "It seems that he has been too fascinated in recent days. He just wanted to finish the work in the court earlier, so he continued to come back to improve this thing. Unexpectedly, he arrived in Shangyuan again so soon. I remember Shangyuan last year. At that time, we seemed to be together and wondering what the Shangyuan Festival was like outside."

Speaking of this, Luli looked empty and looked emotional.

because……

Palace maids usually leave the palace, let alone do you know how the Shangyuan people passed by?

Seeing that she was so expecting, Li Chengqian thought that he might find a reason to send her out so that after she went out, she could tell him what was going on outside when she came out.

Of course, in the end, the two did not implement this.

Instead, they sat on the steps outside and fantasized about the scene outside together. For example, it is said that someone could hold a long bamboo pole that was several meters long on their foreheads, which was about 3.3 meters per meter, and then there were three children standing on the bamboo pole.

To be honest, Li Chengqian didn't believe it at all. He only believed it and could only stand one at most.

And don't forget to put it on your forehead.

If Yaoyao comes to listen, Yaoyao doesn't believe it very much, but she believes that masters are among the people, so even if there is one, it's not surprising.

After all, it is possible that the human head is iron-headed.

Thinking of having never left the palace before, Li Chengqian ran over and said to Yaoyao, who was also dressed up here: "Yaoyao, why not let's go out to the palace today?"

But then, he thought again, as if Yaoyao is still pregnant.

In fact, at the beginning, Yaoyao also cared about this, but as of today, three months have passed. At the beginning, she didn't even dare to get into Li Chengqian's arms anymore. Now, she no longer cared about it.

After all, it’s a rare opportunity to give birth to a baby or something.

What if it doesn't matter!

Eat and drink.

Go! Must go!

"Okay!" Yaoyao said immediately, but then said, "But... Father, mother, can't there be any other arrangements?"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but think about it. There might be some in the past few years, but... this year, probably, I won't continue to work hard.

Of course, it is certain that lanterns are hung inside and outside the palace.

Then……

If there is any, it is to put lanterns in the small pond in the Royal Back Garden.

In fact, if you think about it this way, the Shangyuan Festival was quite boring for people in ancient times.

When I think of this.

Alas~ Yaoyao even couldn't bear to run out to play by herself.

Not to mention palace maids like Luli, even the emperor's concubines, I'm afraid they will be bored.

Isn’t it unfaithful to just go out to play with Li Chengqian like this?

When Yaoyao was thinking this way, Li Chengqian was also thinking that this was indeed a problem.

Because every year, on this day, his aunt, namely Princess Taiping, would enter the palace at this time, and King Jing and Li Hongcheng might have brought Qingzhu with him at this time. After all, Qingzhu is now considered the princess of Prince Jing. Since Qingzhu has entered the palace, should Qiling enter the palace together? After all, Qingzhu and Qiling have a good relationship with Yaoyao. Of course, if Qiling is allowed to enter the palace, then if they have other arrangements, such as if they want to go out to play, there are many people outside, it is so lively. If they force them to tie them in, would they feel a little uncomfortable?

...I have been busy with other things before, and I have never said hello to them in advance.

Yaoyao didn't know what Li Chengqian was thinking, but even if someone as fraternal as hers wanted to go out, she would probably say hello to the emperor and the queen first. This would be the right thing to do.

However, Yaoyao was extremely worried. If she really said hello, she would definitely not be able to get out.

"Father, mother's side..." Li Chengqian was still hesitating at this time.

"I think it's better to take action first and then report."

Yaoyao reacted, didn’t the Lantern Festival last for three days? Then the next night, they came to accompany their father and mother.

Sure enough, after hearing Yaoyao's words, Li Chengqian was obviously moved.

But he didn't expect that Yaoyao was even more "decisive" than him!

"That's it! We'll go out after the afternoon."

"By the way, call Li Hongcheng, Cheng Huaimo and others."

Afterwards, Yaoyao said again.

"What are you asking them to do?"

Li Chengqian was puzzled.

"This is how lively it is."

Moreover... she hasn't been to the new house of the Women's Thirty-Two Lefang. If she goes out this time, she will pass by and take a look.

After the afternoon, they finally waited for the two, plus Luli and Qiu'er, Ran'er sneaked out of the palace without the emperor and the queen knowing. The first stop was naturally Kong Qi's Baiwenzhai. Speaking of which, I hadn't met Boss Kong for a while, and I really missed it. Of course, Kong Qi did not expect that His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess would suddenly come this day, and they would visit him directly.

Because it was the Spring Festival, Kong Qi simply gave all the friends a vacation. As a result, when Yaoyao and Li Chengqian arrived at Baiwenzhai, there was no one there, but fortunately, Kong Qi is now a celebrity. Just ask casually, Yaoyao and the others will know where he lives now.

If you want to say, Kong Qi's house is not bad. After all, no matter what, he is from the Shandong clan. Although he is already a branch of a branch, whenever relatives come to Chendu, they will come to him and stay here for a few days. When Yaoyao and Li Chengqian came, a child of the Kong family who was also going to take the imperial examination this year temporarily stayed with him for some time. Unexpectedly, he was chatting with his second uncle, but his second uncle hurriedly left. He asked his servants for inquiries and found out that it turned out that a distinguished guest came to the Confucius Mansion today. Now, his second uncle is receiving this distinguished guest outside.

This undoubtedly aroused his curiosity.

"How expensive is it?" he asked the man.

"Your Highness and the Crown Prince are so expensive now!"
