Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 436: First meeting with Princess Xiaoqian
With the confirmation of Zhao Mu and Song Zhezong.

The results for the general examination are finally out. Several places where the results were posted in the capital were overcrowded.

Because according to the ancestral system of the Renzong Dynasty, as long as you pass the general examination, you are qualified to participate in the palace examination. Since the Renzong Dynasty, the palace examination has no longer eliminated candidates. Instead, they confirm the ranking of the Jinshi and select officials one by one.

Therefore, passing the joint examination is equivalent to passing the Jinshi examination. It's just that the canonization has not been officially carried out yet.

Zhao Mu also came to the teahouse where the results were released. He sat on it and drank tea while watching the ugly behavior of these scholars.

Some people are overjoyed when they see that they are in high school. Although he wasn't as gaffey as Fan Jin, his excited look was really fun.

And those who had lost their reputations turned around and left with sighs. There are also people who do not believe in evil and carefully search for their names on the imperial list, but they can't find them even though they look around. Some people find their names and are about to rejoice. But when I saw that the place of birth written on it was not mine, my mood suddenly fell from heaven to hell.

Facing this ups and downs mentality is really frustrating.

And Zhao Mu was not the only one who came to watch the excitement at the ranking place today.

Most of the high-ranking officials in the capital and the children of powerful people will come. Because every time the imperial examination results are released, it is a must-see "entertainment program" for the children in Beijing. This is comparable to listening to music in teahouses and restaurants. The dance is much more beautiful and fun.

Zhao Mu also saw the injustice of this world this time.

And the talented and learned people below have spent their whole lives to obtain an official title, just to allow the unlearned and unskilled officials and officials above them to have fun and play with ease. This is really ironic.

"I didn't expect my uncle to be so leisurely and elegant. Are you here to watch the announcement of the results?"

Naturally, they, like Zhao Mu, drank tea and joked in the teahouse, "watching monkeys in a civilized manner."

Hearing this voice, Zhao Mu turned around and saw that the person coming was his sister-in-law, Princess Qian Yuzhen. But at this time, Zhao Mu also noticed that there was a child beside her. This child's facial features are similar to those of his sister-in-law, but he is more childish and charming. It looks like a peony flower covered with dew that has not yet fully bloomed. It's both delicate and charming, yet youthful and pleasant.

After all, they were born to be the chosen ones.

However, Zhao Mu did not sympathize with them, because Zhao Mu was also a member of the powerful. And he is also the leader of the Xungui Group. But he also lamented that it is not his head that determines a person's stance, but his butt.

Each of the scholars below has real talent and learning. And some of the powerful disciples sitting here with him can be said to be uneducated and unskilled.

At this moment, two people came over.

But when the girl saw Zhao Mu, she lowered her head shyly. Then he hid behind Princess Xiao Qian.

The end point that these people below have climbed through their entire lives is the starting point of the lives of these noble and royal relatives. Isn’t this ridiculous to think about?

Zhao Mu went out in casual clothes this time. He stood up, bowed his hands to Princess Xiao Qian and said, "Greetings, sister-in-law."

Especially those descendants of the clan who are still in the capital, as well as the distinguished disciples. They looked at these scholars who were ecstatic, or looked down in despair. Looking at their ugly appearance, they found it very funny.

Seeing Zhao Mu salute to her, Princess Xiao Qian suddenly panicked. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, you can't do this. How can the slave family bear your salute?"

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Since you are pretending to be casual, it doesn't matter what your status is. Let's calculate it according to the seniority in the family."

Zhao Mu stretched out his hand and then said: "Sister-in-law, please take a seat. I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would also be interested in seeing these scholars?" Princess Xiao Qian was also unceremonious, and then sat opposite Zhao Mu, then arranged for the girl to sit down and said: " Such a lively event as the examination results are basically held once every three years. This year, Enke will allow everyone to see such a rare joke. How can I not come? "

Zhao Mu didn't expect that his sister-in-law was like everyone else, so he couldn't say anything at the moment. Just smiled.

The girl sitting next to Princess Xiao Qian always raised her head to look at Zhao Mu secretly from time to time, but when Zhao Mu looked at her, she lowered her head shyly. A blush appeared on her fair little face.

Zhao Mu asked at this time: "Sister-in-law, who is this child?"

At this time, Princess Xiao Qian happily introduced: "Oh! She is my sister-in-law's little sister. She is also your future wife." Then Princess Xiao Qian said to the girl, "Yuhuan, I have met His Highness Prince Qi, your future husband."

The girl stood up at this time, rubbed her hands, lowered her head and said shyly: "Yuhuan, I have met Brother Qi Wang."

Zhao Mu stood up in surprise and said, "What! Is this little girl your sister?"

Zhao Mu's exclamation suddenly surprised everyone. But most of the powerful disciples knew Zhao Mu and did not dare to say anything, so they had to lower their heads and drink tea by themselves. After all, no one dared to provoke King Qi, the powerful uncle.

Princess Xiao Qian asked with doubts on her face: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Zhao Mu also noticed that he might have lost his composure, and then asked: "How old is this little girl this year?"

Princess Xiao Qian replied: "My sister-in-law is fourteen years old this year."

Zhao Mu looked at the cute little girl in front of him and said, "But no matter how I look at her, she doesn't look like she is fourteen years old."

Princess Xiao Qian smiled and said: "Haha, how old does uncle think she is?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Twelve years old at most."

Princess Xiao Qian smiled and said: "Haha, that uncle is really blind this time. Although the little sister looks young, she is indeed fourteen years old. When spring started last month, she just turned fourteen. The little sister Your Majesty granted me the marriage. Even if I dare to lie to my uncle, I would not dare to lie to your Majesty. If it hadn’t been for the marriage, my little sister would have participated in this year’s talent show.”

Zhao Mu gave a wry smile and said, "I know about this. I deducted the Little Princess and County Princess Chai from His Majesty's draft list."

Zhao Mu looked at the cute little girl at this time, and then asked with a smile: "Little sister, I have made it impossible for you to be a queen. Do you hate me?"

Princess Xiaoqian smiled and shook her head.

Although Princess Qian wanted to say something, talking about the emperor was taboo. She had no choice but to keep silent.

Princess Qian looked at her sister's reaction and was also very happy. Before, she was worried that her sister wouldn't like Zhao Mu, but now that she saw the handsome elder brother in front of her, she seemed to like him very much.

But what woman wouldn’t like a man like Zhao Mu?

Zhao Mu looked at Princess Xiaoqian in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Zhao Mu sighing, Princess Xiao Qian asked, "What's wrong with uncle? Is there anything you're unhappy about?"
