Chapter 353 Different Book Boxes

Before dawn and even a trace of dawn could not be felt, Ye Qing had been knocked on the bedroom door several times by Jinse. The students who could not continue to fall asleep naturally got up with sleepy eyes.

The yard was already noisy. Although Ye Qing, a student, participated in the imperial examination, in the eyes of a few insiders, he knew that he was just a formality.

But other unknown congratulatory people obviously did not know that Ye Xuezi had already made sufficient arrangements, so the neighbors in the yard, or Aunt San and others were all speaking lotus flowers, and the auspicious words never stopped.

Bai Chun walked in with a happy and proud smile on his face. After washing up, he looked disheveled and his hair was emitting a rough, wild charm all over his body. The sense of happiness and pride in his heart seemed even more prosperous.

While helping Ye Qing hold his hair, he let someone eat the tofu on her chest on the back of his head, and talked to Ye Qing about the neighbors in the yard, and even some people began to beg the third aunt to be a matchmaker and ask if the Ye Family Erlang had any engagement or something.

"Then how did you answer?" The cow horned comb was in Bai Chun's hand, combing Ye Qing's hair vigorously. Ye Qing had to give up the tenderness on the back of her head and asked with a smile.

"How else can I answer?" The comb pulled Ye Qing's hair back and forth in Bai Chun's hand, holding the black hair with a slight slight look on his face, and said with pride and pride: "Of course, I took Yan Qingcheng out to block the arrows. I saw you one by one, and I was eager to walk around, but since we moved back, everyone's eyes have changed."

"What happened earlier?" Ye Qing recalled the past and didn't feel any difference between the past and now.

"I had previously hidden it from you and asked my aunt to ask other girls, but when I heard that it was for you, Erlang of the Ye family, they waved their hands to refuse. Some people said directly that there was something wrong with you." Ye Qing's slender index finger pointed at Ye Qing's temple and said, "It's good now, they have started to come to the door on their own initiative. Isn't it because they saw that you are going to take the imperial examination today."

Bai Chun was like a proud and nagging aunt. While combing Ye Qing's hair, her mouth never stopped. She said everything about the parents, the parents of the people, the envy of the people of the south, and the jealousy of the north.

But even so, Bai Chun still did not forget his job. After helping Ye Qing tie his hair up and tied up the scarf, he saw Ye Xuezi pouting at her, and involuntarily patted Ye Qing's chest, saying that he was not serious, but his body was still honest and took the initiative to tiptoe, kissed Ye Qing quickly on his lips, and then urged Ye Qing to go out quickly.

The villagers and neighbors surrounded the originally small yard. As Ye Qing and Bai Chun walked out, everyone in the yard immediately shouted loudly.

As Mo Xiaobao lit the firecrackers at the door, after a burst of drums and music, Liang Xing and Mo Xiaobao, who had already prepared a car, were all wearing brand new clothes today.

However, compared to Ye Qing's blue shirt dress, Mo Xiaobao, who has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, looks even more elegant than Ye Qing.

Of course, if Ye Qing didn't carry the bookcase to do the book boy's errand, it would naturally be more perfect.

He waved his hand casually, then got into the carriage and walked towards the palace with Liang Xing and Mo Xiaobao.

Bai Chun, who was drowned in the crowd at the door, felt a little regretful, thinking that Ye Qing should say something to the neighbors before leaving. There was no such rude person who could leave after getting on the carriage.

Get off at Donghua Gate and you can already see some carriages, sedan chairs, and even wheelbarrows. They are lined up and parked neatly, and they all look like they are here to send scholars to participate in the imperial examination.

Compared with the state exam, the provincial exam is naturally more important. Just like taking the college entrance examination in later generations and being able to get into a good university, students' exams alone are based on the expectations of their whole family and the hard work of their families over the years. No one would want their children to fail.

Ye Qing, who jumped out of the carriage, had not had time to look at the chariots and horses outside the examination room lined up after the sky was getting dark, and Guan Li had already stood in front of Ye Qing with a smile.

"I'll congratulate you first." Guan Li was a little helpless. This was the first time he saw this cheating, and it was completely a formality.

After taking the bookcase that Mo Xiaobao was carrying and signaling Liang Xing and Mo Xiaobao to wait here, Guan Li personally carried Ye Qing's bookcase and walked along the vermilion wall with Ye Qing to the tribute courtyard.

"I'm happy and happy together. I heard Li Heng say yesterday, Yipinlou, right? No problem, I won't go back if I'm drunk." Ye Qing glanced at the bookcase that Guan Li was carrying, and always felt that he was just a folding fan now. In that case, he might look more handsome and elegant, right?

The parents and others who stayed here waiting for their students behind them were stunned when they looked at Ye Qing!

Who is this? Can the people in the palace help me carry the entrustment box when taking the imperial examination?

Some officials who didn't know Ye Qing couldn't help but frowned. Although their children were able to participate in the provincial examination, they were already very proud, but they still felt a little uncomfortable when they saw someone's show so much. They bowed their heads to the place where Liang Xing and Mo Xiaobao stood to inquire who his son was.

The carriage with the sign of the Xinwang Mansion stopped at Donghua Gate. After checking the guards' department, the only carriage that could enter the tribute court today was allowed to drive from Donghua Gate to the entrance of the tribute court.

The King of Xin and Princess Xin in the carriage sat on one side, and the carriage continued to drive forward. Zhang Dadao on the shaft looked at Ye Qing and Guan Li walking outside the palace wall, and couldn't help but frowned. After pondering for a while, he still spoke to King of Xin through the curtain of the car.

As Princess Xin opened the side curtain, Princess Xin and Princess Xin saw each other talking and laughing, with a relaxed and calm expression, not as nervous and solemn as other scholars participated in the imperial examination. No matter how they looked, they felt that the two of them looked, as if they were planning to have a one-day trip to the tribute court.

King Xin's eyes kept paying attention to the expression and behavior between Ye Qing and Guan Li, including the way they were when they were talking.

Princess Xin's eyes were always staring at Guan Li carrying the bookcase. She remembered it very clearly what the bookcase she gave out yesterday looked like.

But the bookcase she carried with Guan Jie today... wasn't she sent Fangfei to her yesterday? Could it be... he was really angry?

As if he was thinking, Princess Xin took back her gaze from Ye Qing and Guan Li, and put down the curtain with a hint of loss in her expression.

King Xin saw that the curtain of the car was put down by Princess Xin, and he sighed helplessly, then turned his head and looked at his side.

Since leaving, the two of them have never said a word along the way. Seeing that they were about to reach the gate of the Gongyuan, King Xin slowly spoke: "I will stay in the Gongyuan all day today. If you don't want to be in the Gongyuan, you can stay in the palace. Of course, you can also go back to the house directly."

"I understand." Princess Xin said lightly.

Fangfei, the personal palace maid sitting in the corner of the carriage, kept her head down. Although she was used to the extremely depressing atmosphere in the carriage when Prince Xin and Princess Xin were riding in the same carriage, even a little bit uneasy.

But for some reason today, I felt that Princess Xin seemed a little absent-minded. Even the short three words: I know, it was full of perfunctory smell.

When Princess Xin heard the expected answer, she snorted dissatisfiedly, and after the carriage arrived at the Gongyuan, she took the lead in getting out of the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Prince Xin, who had not even looked at Prince Xin, who was slowly getting off the carriage, waved to Zhang Dadao and walked into the hall where the examiners gathered.

However, just after Zhang Dadao whispered twice in King Xin's ear, King Xin suddenly stood still, then turned around, watched Princess Xin get off the carriage with her palace maid, and then walked slowly to the front without saying a word.

So the four of them stood silently, silently looking at the Minister of Rites who had just run out of the hall, and saluted the couple.

Princess Xin just nodded silently, while Prince Xin asked a few questions about the examination room, and the eyes of several people turned to the gate of the Gongyuan.

The appearance of Ye Qing and Guan Li immediately attracted everyone's attention. Seeing that the eyes of several people were all on him and Guan Li, the two of them still looked relaxed and walked to King Xin, Minister of Rites and others to salute one after another.

"Reply to the king, I have followed the emperor's will and went to Donghuamen to pick him up." Guan Li replied with a smile.

"Oh, so that's it." King Xin's heart was trembling, but there was still a smile on his face, and he pondered: "So I dare to ask the emperor what he meant..."

Guan Li glanced at Ye Qing next to him and replied: "Mr. Ye is different from other ordinary scholars. He has never participated in the state examination, and is also a Grand Secretary of the Longtu Pavilion in the court. Is it my third... The Imperial City Department has always been a mission for the royal family. The emperor is afraid that Lord Ye will cheat in the examination room and encourage unhealthy trends. Therefore, I am the one who takes Lord Ye and has the responsibility to supervise Lord Ye to participate in the imperial examination."

"So what did the nobles in Guanzhong find?" King Xin and the Minister of Rites looked at each other, and their eyes were gathered on the small book box behind Guan Li.

"I haven't checked it yet. If King Xin and Shangshu Zhou are worried, I can check Lord Ye's bookcase here first." Guan Li said with a smile, then took off the bookcase and held it in his hands.

Princess Xin, who had always looked calm and quiet, never looked at Ye Qing from beginning to end. While holding the bookcase with beautiful eyes, she was also extremely curious. She wanted to see how the bookcase Ye Qing chose today was different from what he prepared for him.
