Chapter 167 Qionglin Banquet

Yu Luoshu and Shen Tianqing didn't know what happened outside Buzhuang. After they came out of Buzhuang, the coachman took them to a house.

This is a house specially prepared by the people in the palace for Yu Luoshu. The things are well prepared, and many servants are already waiting here. They can live in peace of mind when they enter, and only the number one scholar will have this kind of treatment.

The husband and wife went in and settled down briefly, but it was already afternoon, they hadn't eaten at noon, and their chests were stuck to their backs when they were about to be hungry.

"Come on, let's prepare some dinner first."

"Yes." The servants were very active when they received the order for the first time, and many maidservants rushed to the kitchen to cook.

At this moment, there was a young man running in hurriedly from outside the door.

Looking at his appearance, Yu Luoshu frowned with a pair of good-looking brows, and asked a little puzzled: "What made you so flustered?"

The little servant bowed politely, "Replying to your son, the palace sent someone to send a message, let the little one come in and let you know."

"Since it's a matter in the palace, let's invite people in."

Yu Luoshu didn't expect that there are so many rules in the capital, and someone needs to come in to report any message, and the cumbersome etiquette has increased a lot, which is really different from when he was at Yu's house.

He suddenly felt that the days ahead would not be as easy as he had imagined, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

The father-in-law who sent the message came in softly, shook off the dust in his hands, and saluted politely, "The miscellaneous family has seen the number one scholar."

Yu Luoshu quickly helped him up, seeing that his father-in-law was several rounds older than himself, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked, "You are welcome, father-in-law, please get up quickly."

He asked, "My father-in-law came to see me this time, is there something important?"

"Of course it's to send you an invitation to the Qionglin Banquet, the palace..."

It turned out that the palace sent a letter to him to invite him to attend the Qionglin Banquet in the palace tomorrow. This banquet is held for new scholars and many people will attend.

Although it was a banquet for the freshmen to clean up the dust, the most eye-catching one was naturally the number one scholar.

At the same time, people from the Imperial Academy will also be seated. This is the first time Yu Luoshu has dealt with people in the officialdom, so naturally he can't be sloppy.

After seeing off her father-in-law, Shen Tianqing became a little worried. She heard a lot of scenes in the palace from the scriptures, and felt that everyone in the palace had [-] minds.

Her brows had already frowned into the word "Chuan", and she took the man's arm and said, "It's your first time attending such a banquet, and what the father-in-law said is very serious, so nothing will happen."

Yu Luoshu is a man, so naturally he is not as flustered as she is, but he just feels a little hasty and doesn't have time to prepare properly.

He shook his head, patted Shen Tianqing's little hand, and comforted Keren, "I read about the Qionglin Banquet in the book, it was just a banquet for Jinshi to clean up the dust, I just need to go to the banquet on time, no Whatever happened, don't worry."

They arrived here for the first time, they were unfamiliar with the place of life, and Shen Tianqing was more delicate in her heart, and would always think of some messy things, this is also human nature.

The next day, Yu Luoshu went to the palace for a banquet in a dark blue robe.

This dress was sewed overnight by ten embroiderers Wang Fenglian paid a lot of money for, so that Yu Luoshu could attend an important banquet with dignity one day, but it really came in handy.

Although it can't compare with the luxurious clothes worn by the noble sons of the capital, Yu Luoshu is tall and handsome.

The Qionglin Banquet was held as scheduled, and the palace was full of excitement.

Yu Luoshu kept those etiquettes in mind, so as not to make a fool of himself in front of everyone. Making a fool of himself is still a trivial matter, but it would be bad if he made himself angry.

He followed the little eunuch's lead and came all the way to the entrance of the banquet. At that time, he heard the eunuch announcing everyone's names, and the maid came in and out with plates.

At first glance, the hall was already full of people. Yu Luoshu came a little late, but it was not too late.

When he finally arrived at Yu Luoshu, he handed the invitation to the eunuch who notified him, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Eunuch."

The eunuch opened the invitation and saw that Yu Luoshu was written in neat regular script on it. Isn't that the number one scholar of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year? Then he raised his head and glanced at this person.

The eunuch put away his arrogance in an instant, handed back the invitation, and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is the number one scholar today, and the young man has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai. Please come inside."

After Yu Luoshu received the invitation, he paced in.

Then the eunuch's voice sounded, "Yu Luoshu from the Yu Family in Xingqing Town has arrived."

This name has long been spread in the capital, who doesn't want to see the elegant demeanor of the number one scholar, all the people in the hall looked at the person who walked in.

After Yu Luoshu noticed the gaze, he felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, a little eunuch brought him to the front row and sat down, so that he would not be too embarrassed.

"That's Yu Luoshu, this year's No. [-] scholar, and he looks very ordinary!"

"Don't say that, his status is different now. The number one scholar has directly entered the Hanlin Academy, usually compiled by the Imperial Academy, but he is a sixth-rank official, and his position is above you and me."

"During the palace examination, when others were still at a loss, he quickly answered the emperor's questions, which shows how profound his knowledge is, which is beyond my reach."

Everyone chattered, and Yu Luoshu didn't know anyone, so he sat there alone and waited for the banquet to start.

After a while, the emperor brought the empress and the princess to the table, and everyone saluted them together.

"The ministers and others join the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Participate in the queen empress, participate in the princess, empress, the princess is a thousand years old."

It stands to reason that the emperor and empress usually attend the Qionglin Banquet, so why did the princess also participate this year?

After learning about the Qionglin Banquet, Zhao Ruonan brazenly went to the Emperor, and she also wanted to attend the banquet, all in order to see Yu Luoshu, whom she missed day and night.

The emperor waved his hand and signaled them to stand up, "Everyone, get down, this is just a welcome banquet, you don't need to be too polite."

Everyone replied in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yu Luoshu raised his head and glanced at the three people in high positions. He wanted to see who the princess was, and he was shocked when he saw it.

The current princess turned out to be the one who helped carry the paper kite that day!

The mystery in Yu Luoshu's heart was solved immediately, no wonder he didn't recognize the princess, but the princess said that she liked him.

When he was looking at Zhao Ruonan, Zhao Ruonan was also looking at him with a smile on his face, Yu Luoshu quickly lowered his head in fright.

He really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him, and he thought that he could finally give Shen Tianqing an explanation.

It's just that now that the two have met, I'm afraid it will end badly.
