The eunuch stood in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty holds a banquet in Chengyun Hall. Please come with me."

Hold a banquet?

Not only Lu Liangsheng was a little confused, but the other Jinshi also showed doubts. After passing the palace examination, shouldn’t it be the imperial pen to point out the third grade?

The eunuchs walking in front seemed to understand their doubts and turned around and smiled:

"Your Majesty is happy to feast all the ministers. You are also rare young talents. You are all excellent in poetry, essays, songs, and essays. Naturally, you need to entertain yourself. Even all the civil and military officials have come."

After saying this, when he arrived at Chengyun Hall, Lu Liangsheng walked among the eighteen people, his face was calm, and when he entered, he was brightly lit even during the day. Chengyun Hall was spacious, with civil and military officials sitting on both sides. Min Changwen, the Minister of Personnel, was also among them, sitting in the seat on the left, with a solemn expression.

The chimes were soft, and the sound of silk and bamboo was soft, and the green smoke of sandalwood was curling. After Lu Liangsheng and others walked through the middle and stood still, the dragon table above the front, the emperor raised his cuff and waved it.

Several women dancing with long sleeves bowed and said goodbye.

Lu Liangsheng stood in the middle of the crowd, and then he saw clearly in front of him. Under the intertwined golden-edged big palm-leaf fan, Chen Shubao was wearing a dragon robe, looking about his early thirties, with a good appearance, but there were two women sitting on the left and right. One of them was a red peony dress, a black-hair hairpin, and a crystal-carved flower on it, adding to its beauty and making people amazed.

"He Jingqiu?"

When Lu Liangsheng murmured softly, the woman seemed to have noticed the scholar in the crowd. Her beautiful eyes widened for no reason, and her small red lips slightly opened.

"Mr. Lu..."

"What did the beloved concubine say?"

"I, I said that all the Jinshis this year are so young."

On the dragon chaise not far away, Chen Shubao looked at his beloved concubine who was reacting very quickly in front of him, curled her lips, sat up straight, put her hands on the armrest, looked in front, and spoke slowly.

"Yes, they are all my future ministers. Look at my beloved concubine. Many of them are really young, handsome and elegant... I can't compare to them."

Although the words above were only talked between the two, Lu Liangsheng could hear them and frowned.

...How come this tastes a bit sour vinegar?

"I won't announce the third grade for the first time in the palace examination."

At this time, the emperor in the dragon court stood up, his voice slowly and in a straight voice, but then he laughed.

"Everyone is my handsome Chen Chao. I like it very much. All the civil and military officials in this palace know that I have a hobby. Every time I hold a banquet, I will invite my concubine to accompany me. If you are about to be my ministers, I will invite you to come and adapt."

The words behind became a little frivolous. Min Changwen in the seat on the left couldn't help but want to speak, but at this time the emperor was talking. If he interrupted, it would hinder the harmony between the monarch and the ministers, so he had to continue listening.

Uncle Chen licked the 19 new seats with the people. After 18 Jinshis over there thanked him, he went to take his seat one by one. However, Lu Liangsheng stood there, looking at the emperor who turned around and sat back on the dragon throne, took a deep breath, and raised his hand:

"Your Majesty, the new Jinshi Lu Liangsheng, please report if you have any questions."

The civil and military officials on both sides couldn't help but look at each other, and were a little curious about what they would say at the young man in the middle.

"oh?"

Chen Shubao pressed his elbow against the handrail and rubbed his fingertips: "You said."

Below, many thoughts flashed through Lu Liangsheng's heart like lightning, and quickly organized what he wanted to say in his mind.

"I told Your Majesty that I have been to Heliangzhou last year. The victims are everywhere, and the hungry people are everywhere. The granaries of various cities have paid taxes, so it is difficult to save grain for assistance..."

Hearing these words, Chen Shubao felt a headache and waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words.

"Isn't it raining anymore? There will be a good harvest this year."

"But your Majesty, the tax will still make them breathless..."

Lu Liangsheng also wanted to say that the emperor lowered his hand, looked at him, and looked forward slightly: "Lu Liangsheng, you are not an official yet."

Lu Liangsheng stood there in a daze.

"By the way, I have one thing I want to ask you."

On the dragon chaise, Chen Shubao looked slightly and glanced at Zhang Lihua who was sitting not far away. He remembered the jade pendant lying on the table in the study room. His lips curled up, chuckled, and turned around.

"I heard you know you know some tricks."

He pressed his elbows against the handrail, and looked down at the scholar and picked his chin.

"Change a trick to see."

"His Majesty!"

Hearing this, the civil and military officials were stunned. Min Changwen stood up. The scholars were very proud of their face, not to mention that they were a practitioner. Even Zhang Lihua on the side of the imperial stairs frowned and turned her face to look at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Around the palace guards subconsciously took off the hilt of the knife and stared at the middle of the hall.

Lu Liangsheng stood there, gritted his teeth, and his fists were shaking in his cuffs. He closed his eyes for a while, let go of his fists, and flicked his wide sleeves, turned around and left.

The moment he stepped out of the hall gate, the figure disappeared directly into the sunshine in the sight of the emperor, civil and military officials.

Min Changwen walked out of the seat and chased after a few steps. His figure had long disappeared. He looked at the bright sunshine outside in a daze, beating his chest and stamping his feet in anger.

"Your Majesty, I, Chen Chao, have a few more pillars."

"What pillar?!"

Chen Shubao returned to the dragon throne and waved his sleeves: "Come on a banquet!"

...

The sky outside was dazzling, and on the street where there were few pedestrians, Lu Liangsheng walked in a daze, with all his eyebrows disappointed and depressed.

"Ha... it turned out to be such an emperor... This kind of emperor... ignores the millions of people in Heliangzhou..."

Bathing in the sunshine, closing your eyes, not saying that you are humiliated for no reason, the behavior of the person on the dragon throne is not like the way an emperor should have.

"Addicted to wine and sex, superstitious about monsters, and do not pity the people...hehe..."

Not far away, outside a tavern, the guy in the shop yawned boredly, suddenly saw the scholar passing by, and hurriedly went up to greet him.

"Come on~ This guest official, the wine in the store is mellow. Look at you having a lot of worries, why not come in and have a few drinks, maybe the worries will be solved."

Lu Liangsheng stopped and smelled the scent of wine floating out of the store. After a turn, he walked in with his friend.

Soon, the guy trotted to the second floor with a few pots of warm wine from the guest.

"Keep, you ordered pear blossom wine and Huangxing wine. By the way, I might as well order some more wine dishes..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Liangsheng, who was behind the table opposite, reached out and grabbed the wine pot directly and poured it into his mouth.

Cough ~

Ahem —

Putting down the wine pot, the spicy taste made Lu Liangsheng cry almost out, his eyes were slightly red and staring at the pen and ink on the table.

"What am I doing for these four years..."

"What's the reason?"

Hahaha--

Lu Liangsheng suddenly laughed, grabbed the wine pot and drank wildly. He had never liked drinking, but now, he felt that wine was a good thing.

Bang.

The wine pot was heavily placed on the table, splashing a lot of wine stains. Lu Liangsheng's face became drunk. The guy who looked a little at a loss took out a few pieces of silver and patted it on the table.

"Please buy me a blank scroll."
