Chapter 306: Expectation


The little girl of the Fang family seems to be also high-spirited.

Quan Moxian thought so funny in his heart, and began to think about what to say if he met her again next time.

He didn't think about repaying the favor, saving her was just a matter of convenience.

I just think that such a little girl is really complicated and interesting. met several times, and each time I could see a different side of her. is just a boudoir daughter, how can she have such a temperament?

Because he couldn't figure it out, he cared more and more.

This night, Luoyang City was very quiet, and even the Qinglou Chu Pavilion rested early.

The students will get out of the examination room tomorrow, and the people in the city, regardless of whether they are high or low, have tacitly stopped singing, dancing and drinking the banquet, for fear of disturbing the rest of the students.

There was a bright lower quarter moon hanging in the sky, sprinkling a thin moonlight on Luoyang City, quiet and peaceful.

In the palace, it is no exception.

All the palace furniture were locked and rested, except for the guards standing upright on the wall, most of the palace people had already rested.

In such a quiet night, the sound of the palace gate of Changle Palace being slammed spread far and wide.

"It's coming, it's coming."

The doorkeeper stepped forward, opened a small window by the door, and asked, "What's the matter at such a late hour?"

” Wu Guangqi said: "The emperor is here, don't hurry up!"

” With his words, the lights in Changle Palace turned on one after another, and the palace people got up and were in a hurry.

The chamberlain opened the palace gate and knelt down to greet him: "I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, and I hope to forgive my sins." ” Emperor Qinglong was dressed in a black robe, and the moonlight was projected on his figure, making him appear taller and taller.

He nodded, and walked inward.

Empress Cao wore a golden silk thorn phoenix robe that reached the ground, her hair had not yet been pulled up, and she hurriedly greeted her at the entrance of the palace.

She had just finished bathing and had already rested, and the sudden arrival of Emperor Qinglong caught her a little off guard.

"The concubines are late, and I hope the emperor will forgive them."

At this time, she lost her gorgeous clothes and high-bun makeup, faded away from the majesty and dignity of the day, revealing a little bit of the softness of her daughter's family.

Emperor Qinglong raised his hand to get her up, and said, "It was I who disturbed you."

I can't sleep, I want to come and talk to you. ” After the two got married, they each had someone in their hearts who couldn't let go, and they didn't even have a new wedding period of deep affection.

He gave her the honor and respect that belonged to his wife, and she gave him a stable back house, which is now a harem.

It's not so much a husband and wife as a working partner.

After Emperor Qinglong ascended the throne, he also followed the practice in the prince's palace.

On the first and fifteenth day of the new year, I will definitely rest in this Changle Palace.

But in addition, he either handled government affairs in the imperial study, or in other concubine palaces, and rarely set foot in Changle Palace.

And Empress Cao also has her own pride.

She raised two sons and a daughter, and she disdained to compete for favor with those concubines.

Those tricks such as pretending to be sick and jealous, meeting the emperor in the imperial garden, etc., she looked at them, but never did them.

Duchess Dingguo saw it in her eyes and persuaded her many times, but she ignored it.

I would rather spend my mind on training my children and consolidating my position in the palace than using the method of currying favor with Emperor Qinglong.

Therefore, it is the first time that Emperor Qinglong has come to Changle Palace late at night like this.

Empress Cao got up and walked a few steps with him, and her thoughts turned sharply in her heart, and she had a plan after the major events that had happened in the court recently.

I see, no wonder, he came suddenly.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing else surprising about the concubines in this palace, but you can see the night of this spring."

Empress Cao observed her words and said slowly: "Why don't you accompany the emperor to go to the garden for a walk?"

Better than boring here. ” Emperor Qinglong glanced at her, glad that he had come to the right place.

If you go to other palaces, those concubines will certainly do their best to please themselves, but they will never let go of this great Spring Festival, how can they accompany him to go out for a walk and talk?

Compared to the Imperial Garden, the garden of Changle Palace is not large.

The stone lampposts used for lighting are covered with glazed covers, and the flowers and trees present a hazy beauty under the light.

Insects chirp and the night breeze is warm.

"Your Majesty, are you thinking of Ming'er's Dabi?"

Emperor Qinglong nodded, there was a benefit to talking to her, she didn't need to bother herself, she could guess what she wanted to say.

This spring festival is the first big competition since he ascended the throne, for which he has been preparing for a long time, vowing to select good talents from them to replenish fresh blood for the court.

His ambition is far from enough to rely on the courtiers left by the first emperor and his original team.

At this point, he has all been deployed, just waiting for the final result.

Maybe it was because he was expecting too much, he was a little nervous, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

He hadn't felt this kind of mood in years.

In the harem, the only way to think about it is to come here, and you can also find someone to talk to.

"I don't know how this group of students is, if there are any practical people."

He stopped, staring at the crescent moon in the air, expectant in his tone.

Empress Cao smiled: "The emperor is too worried.

Although the concubines are in the harem, I also heard that among the students who came to take the exam, there were quite a few well-educated people. ” Although the harem can't interfere in politics, as the queen of the world, it would be too false for her to say that she didn't know anything about the previous dynasty.

What's more, it is an indisputable fact that behind her there is still the Dingguo Mansion.

In front of Emperor Qinglong, she has always been above board and never hides it.

Fortunately, what she met was Emperor Qinglong, who saw everything transparently, and if she changed to another person who loved to be suspicious, she would only become more and more jealous of the power she represented.

Emperor Qinglong bowed slightly, his eyes had a glint of hope, and said, "I have also heard about it, but learning does not mean that you have practical talents.

In the end, the results will not be available until the end of this exam. ” This time, he personally wrote the questions for the policy exam.

Abandoned the discussion of Confucius and Mencius's words and Confucianism, and instead asked about the strategy of border passes.

Gao Mang has only been passed to him for two lifetimes, and between the wealth of Tibet and the people and the expansion of the territory, even he himself can't make up his mind.

He was an ambitious emperor, but he cherished the people even more.

But in between, you can't have both.

The topic of border policy seems very big, but in fact, compared to such a national policy, it is only the tip of the iceberg.

In the bottom of his heart, there was a faint expectation.

I hope that these enthusiastic students who have not experienced officialdom can really give him a satisfactory answer.

Looking at his expression, Empress Cao knew that in fact, he didn't need to answer, just a listener.

Accompanied Emperor Qinglong to walk around a few laps in the night, listening to him talk about the ambitions and ideals in his chest, Empress Cao responded softly from time to time.

She found that this man is actually the same as ordinary people, with seven emotions and six desires, and there will also be nervousness, expectation, and apprehension.

As the night passed, the last quarter moon slowly faded into the growing sky.

As the morning sun jumped out of the sky with its first golden light, Luoyang City began to gradually get busy.
