Chapter 944 A princess comes out of the wall!
At this time, the stewards of the Jia family and the servants of the Lu family all squeezed out. Without waiting for the news, they knew from the look of their master that they had heard about the ranking.
So they urged one after another.
“Master, let’s go home quickly. I’m afraid the official to announce the good news will arrive soon.”
“Okay.” Lu Zong and Jia Xu both agreed.
Jia Xu just paid it back. The Jia family had a large population, but the Lu family had only one master, Lu Zong. He wanted to go back to entertain relatives and friends who came to congratulate him.
Everyone said a few more words and then dispersed.
The palace examination is scheduled for three days later. The first list, the second list, and the third list are added together. A total of 123 people will have to take the palace examination.
At that time, they will get together again, and it will not be long before they get together.
Soon, everyone in the Li family returned to the Earl's Mansion.
Because Jiaren is second in rank, official officials have priority in reporting good news, especially Brother Li who did well in the exam.
Almost as soon as they entered the mansion, the official officials arrived.
Jiaren and Brother Li took over their respective posts without having to reward them.
During the imperial examination, this post is their stepping stone.
As soon as the official left, Liu Zhiheng's whole family arrived. Mrs. Liu brought Zhimin and Xiujie with her, and even Mrs. Liu personally came to congratulate her.
Following them were the three members of the Xing family, Guo Wenhao, Jiaren’s close friends and classmates, Li Laoer’s colleagues and friends, etc.
In the blink of an eye, the front door of the Earl's Mansion became lively.
Li Laoer personally spoke and all the slaves were rewarded with one more month's worth of silver.
All the maids, women, and boys were extremely happy. They served tea, snacks and fruits, and were as busy as butterflies flying among the flowers. Everyone had smiles on their faces and was extremely happy...
It would be good for other people to have one promising child in their family, but the Li family had two at a time.
This does not include Jiayi who killed the Japanese pirates in the south, and Jiaxi and Jiaan who went to sea and brought back envoys from eight countries.
The guests were smiling and praising, but in their hearts they were really envious...
In Zhilan Palace, the good news almost caused a ditch to form on the bluestone floor under the eaves.
After finally hearing the news that Mu Jue brought back the news that her eldest brother and sixth brother were both on the list, she jumped three feet high with joy and shouted.
“Princess, princess! We have been locked down for ten days and nothing has happened. Can we ask the emperor to let us out?”
The third princess had long been impatient, so she quickly spoke up to respond.
“Of course, we are not birds. Who can bear to be kept in a cage every day? I will send someone to ask my father!”
After saying that, she asked someone to carry the ladder and climbed to the top of the wall herself.
Although Zhilan Palace is closed, there are people guarding the outside every day to guard against anything happening in the palace and to deliver news in a timely manner.
It’s just that the guarding **** was a little far away.
The third princess sat on the wall and shouted several times before the **** in the distance heard the noise and ran over.
The third princess said unceremoniously, "Go to Manager Yi and ask him to ask your father. Zhilan Palace has been closed for more than ten days, and no one is sick. Can it be opened? If it continues to be closed like this, the county and I will The Lord is going crazy!”
The **** kowtowed quickly, then turned around and ran away.
Soon, Manager Yi received the news. After thinking about it, he brought a pot of hot tea into the imperial study room.
The emperor placed a list in front of him and was chatting with the Marquis.
"These two boys from the Li family are really good. I originally thought they were being plotted and were going to fail the rankings. I didn't expect them to be ranked very high!" Mr. Hou said with a smile in his eyes, as if his children had been praised, " The Li family has a good family tradition, and their children are well-raised. They are wealthy but not arrogant, and they are more motivated when encountering difficulties, which is really good.”
The emperor couldn't help laughing even harder and joked, "Looking at your pride, people who don't know would think they are your sons.
“However, the children of the Li family are really good. Even the third princess and Fu Niuer have grown a lot since they have been together for a long time.”
Just as they were talking, Manager Yi came in. While changing hot tea for the two of them, he said, "Your Majesty, the third princess is clamoring to open the palace door! Maybe she has been depressed for too long and is really bored. "
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid Fu Niu'er will lose control after hearing the good news about the family, and will she persuade the third princess to open the palace gate?"
The Marquis nodded and said, "It's natural for Fu Niu'er to miss our brothers. In total, the palace has been closed for more than ten days, but now it can be opened."
The emperor thought for a while and said, "Then open the door of Zhilan Palace, but in Shoukang Palace, since the one is pretending to be sick, let her hold it in for a few more days, and let the two girls relax a bit."
Soon, the oral message was passed down.
The door of Zhilan Palace was opened, and Shoukang Palace received a batch of food and supplies. It was said that the emperor was filial to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was asked to rest assured and recover.
No matter what others think, Jiayin and the third princess are extremely happy.
Hand in hand, the two of them went to the imperial study room to greet and thank the emperor.
The younger sisters, one wearing a peach red and the other wearing willow green, both thin materials and new style of beautiful spring shirts.
She even pulled up half of her hair and braided it into two braids, with Hong Bao’s little flower hairpin stuck in it.
It makes them more youthful and beautiful, and they are as pleasant as flowers and bones.
It’s so pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it, you can’t help but feel better instantly.
“Haha, two little birds that have been depressed for more than ten days finally fly out!” The emperor joked, holding up the two little girls with his own hands, smiling happily.
"I've wronged you these past few days! Now the door is open. If you want to go to the palace to play, you can go. Just bring a few more followers to wait on you. Be careful not to surprise you."
The emperor is so generous that all the words prepared for Jiayin were saved.
When she was happy, she became even more clever with her mouth, and she output flattery as if for free, coaxing the emperor to laugh until his face turned sour.
Finally, when the Marquis left the palace, he brought a group of people with him.
Jiayin and the third princess specially changed into men's clothes for the convenience of movement.
When the teenager is difficult to discern, it is also a good boy who looks at it from a distance.
Jiayin was thinking about home, so of course the first thing he did was to go back to the Earl's Mansion.
Sure enough, a banquet was about to be held at home, and he was naturally happy to see her bringing the third princess back.
The third princess was not polite. She treated the Earl's Mansion as her own home. She ate and drank whenever she wanted.
This actually made Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Xing and others relieved, and they had a lot of change in their views on this princess who was rumored to be unruly and willful.
After dinner, the sun had set to the west, so the guests took their leave and dispersed.
The Li family missed the village and unanimously agreed to return to Suijintan.
Sure enough, the village chief and the whole village, young and old, were already waiting with their eyes red.
Finally looking forward to the return of the Li family, we started killing pigs and sheep early the next morning and had a big meal to celebrate.
Needless to say, several surrounding villages came to congratulate me. No matter it was vegetables, chickens or ducks, no one showed up empty-handed.
The Li family naturally doesn't care about the thickness of the gifts, what they value is the friendship.
The third princess stayed at the Princess's Mansion for one night following the good news. She changed into men's clothes as usual, followed the children in the village, played in and outside the courtyard, and watched the excitement. The novelty of such a lively scene was too much.
