The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone was talking and laughing. I don't know who made a fuss about this palace examination.And some of the people present were going to participate in the palace examination.So this topic became more and more vigorous.

Bai Lian ate grapes and listened quietly to their discussion.

"This is His Majesty's first imperial examination since he took the throne, so he attaches great importance to it. I heard that he will ask the examiners to select the top ten examination papers and submit them to personally review the rankings."

"Your Majesty personally reviewed the top ten in the overseas examinations. He must be a like-minded person, and he will definitely go smoothly in the officialdom in the future.",

Bai Lian raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Wu Guogong's daughters.It is estimated that the eldest princess will have to wait until after the national examination before deciding on a son-in-law candidate. [

When she looked at it, she suddenly found that the eyes of the two ladies were no longer as blank as they were at the beginning, but they glanced at the two men opposite her from time to time.

Bai Li'an looked at Duanmu Yaxuan and You Heyin again. One kept silent without breaking etiquette, and the other talked and laughed with ease.I still remember seeing the two of them together when I returned to Anju, and thought they would be very good friends.But now it seems that You He Yin was only sent to monitor Duanmu Yaxuan.

This third prince who doesn't like words, is noble and extraordinary but treats people well, probably knows it too.

Bai Lian thought of the royal conspiracies again, and looked at Duanmu Yaxuan with pity, Duanmu Yaxuan noticed that Bai Lian was looking at him, and smiled softly at her, Bai Lian blushed, and quickly put away Raised a presumptuous look.

"This imperial examination is very important, and many of us are going to participate. The second son of the eldest princess, the third son of the Minister of Rites..."

These sons, of course, also attended the banquet tonight.

The eldest son of the servant of the household department had just finished counting the list of names, and the eldest daughter of the Wu family who had always maintained a noble demeanor, Wu Jingrou, the eldest daughter-in-law of the official secretary, suddenly said: "There is another person who will take part in the palace examination here, Mr. Ma Not mentioned."

Everyone hurriedly asked who it was. Wu Jingrou glanced at the little girl next to You He Yin who lowered her head, and then smiled faintly, which condensed at the corner of her mouth, clearly mocking: "I heard from the concubine Bao that the second lady of the You family has A good brother from my childhood sweetheart, I will also take part in the palace examination this year."

With her words, everyone's eyes fell on the little girl, and the girl lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows lightly, only glanced at it lightly, then picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.Wu Jingmei, the second young lady of the Wu family, sang together with her elder sister and asked: "All those who can participate in the palace examination are gifted. I don't know which family's son is the childhood sweetheart of the second young lady?"

Wu Jingrou covered her mouth and smiled, that smile was really graceful: "It's not someone's son, but a poor student, his father is a farming farmer, and his mother washes clothes for a rich family. Although she is a good student, she is not worthy of it. Go to our Second Miss Yu, the Concubine Bao is still sighing over this matter."

Hearing this, Bai Lian frowned slightly.These two Miss Wu were clearly making fun of people, but since they are the younger sisters of Concubine Bao and General Zuo, why don't these two show affection at all?

Bai Li'an looked at You He Yin, but the elder brother was only drinking.

Wu Jingmei hurriedly said: "That's right. Although the second young lady is a concubine, she was raised by the eldest lady anyway. No matter how you say it, she can't get mixed up with a poor student."

Hearing this, Bai Lian understood that this second young lady was a concubine, no wonder, Concubine Bao must have disliked her and pushed her everywhere.Today, Wu Jingrou embarrassed the second young lady in public, maybe it was also instigated by the concubine Bao.

Thinking of Concubine Bao's arrogant appearance, Bai Lian became very angry.

At this time, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials also had her leg crossed, pretending to be worried and asked: "General Zuo, will the master not care about it?"

You He Yin smiled brilliantly and said, "Father has issued a group ultimatum. If Lin Feipeng fails to enter the top ten this time, he will marry his younger sister to someone else."

"It's so pitiful. If you don't pass the exam, you will have to beat the mandarin duck with a stick. It's just that a girl who has not yet left the cabinet will have a private life with a man. Who dares to want such a lady?" [

Ever since Wu Jingrou started this topic, people present have been talking about Miss You Er. No matter who they are, they want to mix it up, and the more they say it, the worse it sounds.These people and women completely regarded the second lady of Youjia as a pastime.

Bai Lian watched the poor little girl's head close to her chest, her small snow-white hands clenched tightly by her side, her thin body trembling slightly, as if she was sobbing.

How pitiful and helpful, but no one sympathized with her or helped her, even her own brother had an attitude of having nothing to do with her.

Bai Lian clenched her fists. Amidst the laughter, she squinted her eyes and said slowly, "What's the difference between poor students and you?"

She only said a word very softly, but all the voices disappeared.Everyone present looked at Bai Lian with incredible eyes, but she showed a bright smile: "May I ask the dignitaries here, are your surnames nobles since the day they appeared? Which one of your ancestors is not?" It is from the poor that you made a fortune that you have your status today? In terms of origin, we are all descendants of the poor. You are talking about the issue of whether the poor are worthy or not. Isn’t it a slander to your ancestors?! "

Everyone's mouths were open, and what Bai Lian said was somewhat preposterous, but he was right. They didn't know how to refute for a while, but they couldn't bear the guilt of slandering their ancestors, and they were all extremely nervous.

The eldest princess was still full of aura, she kept her majestic appearance, and said solemnly: "Princess Longyu, although our ancestors all started from scratch, they can't be compared with the poor. They are different people, and they are gifted by God. Talented people, in order to bias the poor, you would not hesitate to bring up the ancestors of each family and say, you are disrespecting the ancestors by doing this!"

Bai Lian looked at the eldest princess without the slightest fear: "I'm not partial to the poor, I mean Lin Feipeng. That's right, he is a poor student, but he passed the imperial examination. How many people in the snow country take the national examination , but only the top [-] are eligible to enter the palace examination. If his talent is appreciated by His Majesty, he will enter the court as an official. Everyone has also said that he has been prosperous since then. So there are many more dignitaries among you. Lin, but tonight, you are mocking him. Have you ever thought that your ancestors might have been ridiculed in this way before they became famous. Comparing your hearts, can you bear the humiliation of your ancestors? You can’t stay Would you like some morals?"

Looking at Bai Lian from He Yin, he was not looking for her fault, he really wanted to hear what else she thought: "Princess Longyu, you also said that it was a hypothesis. What if he fails the exam? Life is just A poor man full of poetry and books, what place is there for such a person to be respected?"
