Qi Yue

Chapter 15

Early in the morning, Mu Qichen and the other two wore red silk and rode out on horseback.People went out one after another and crowded in the streets and alleys to watch.

"This year's No. [-] scholar is said to be the young master of Ningwuhou's mansion, and he is a young man," Citizen A said.

"Yes, yes, I heard that the eldest young master is very talented and handsome, and the emperor likes him very much," said commoner B.

"Hey, it's really incomparable to look at the second place and Tanhua, and the number one scholar, it's really incomparable," Min C said.

……

As early as after Mu Qichen died, Gong Gonggonghai, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, took people to Ningwuhou's mansion to announce the good news. They beat gongs and drums all the way, which was so lively that the people in the street all looked up and looked enviously.

In Ningwuhou Mansion, someone had come to inform him a long time ago. At this time, Old Master Mu and the others were waiting in the main hall.Mu Chuanyang, Li Mei and Mu Anlian sat in the hall unhappily without saying a word.

"Congratulations, old Hou Ye, Hou Ye, the young master of your mansion is happy to win the first prize, it is a joy to congratulate" Yuan Hai was welcomed into the door, and bowed to Mu Tianduo who was sitting on it.

Mu Laohou was so happy that he couldn't agree more. He was worried that Mu Qichen would be biased against Wenmou, but he didn't expect this to be the result. If the martial arts exam is also the number one, it would be double happiness. The manager is on his way."

"Don't bother, don't bother, this is a great joy, the old slave is afraid that these little bastards are not well thought out." Yuan Hai smiled, and looked at the little eunuchs behind him with some reproach.

"Since it was taught by Director Yuan, how could there be any impoliteness?" Old Master Mu said with a smile, signaling Uncle Xiang to come forward, and Uncle Xiang understood.

Yuan Hai took the pouch stuffed from Uncle Xiang's sleeve, and weighed it with his hands, his slightly rich face was even more so, "The old Hou is too proud, the old slave just stayed in the palace for a few more years, The old slave will leave first, and there is still a palace banquet to prepare for the evening."

"Hehe, I won't keep Eunuch anymore, Eunuch go slowly." Mu Tianduo laughed and asked Uncle Xiang to send Yuan Hai out.

Old Master Mu asked Uncle Fu and Uncle Xiang to reward the whole house, and he went back to Xuanyi Hall without even looking at the other three.

Li Mei returned to Zhuang Liyuan and lost her temper. Everything in the room that could be dropped was broken to the ground.I didn't expect that kid to become the number one scholar, and my son is only a third-rank Jinshi. The Haikou that I boasted in front of so many wives and ladies turned out to be a joke. Thinking about all the things she did to Mu Qichen before , making her panic even more.

Mu Anlian locked himself in his own Lingyuan Pavilion without seeing anyone, thinking about what he said before those young masters who were complacent, he almost wanted to die of shame and anger.Seeing his youngest son like this, Mu Chuanyang was anxious and angry, so he had no choice but to go to Zhuang Liyuan to appease Li Mei.

At noon, Mu Qichen returned to the mansion. All the way, there were servants smiling and saying congratulations. The servants and maids in the courtyard of Luoxuan Residence all looked happy and congratulated Mu Qichen. Mo Ranyue failed to go to the street to see her young master. The appearance of riding a tall horse, even from the moment Mu Qichen entered the yard, he has been around his young master with joy, I don't know, I thought it was him who won the number one prize, Mu Qichen didn't care, just smiled helplessly Laugh, let him go.

"Ranyue, I'm going to the palace to have a banquet tonight. You pack your things at home first, and we'll go to Yuangu tomorrow morning." Mu Qichen said as he walked, looking at the excited child, feeling a little helpless.However, the child's excitement is nothing but excitement, but it won't bother him, just being happy on the sidelines.

"Ah? Oh, yes, young master. Did you leave so early?" Mo Ranyue was still silently admiring her young master, and she didn't realize it until she heard Mu Qichen tell him to look at Mu Qichen in confusion for a while.

"Well, the martial arts will be held in half a month after today. Ten days back and forth to Yuangu is enough." Mu Qichen said lightly, ten days is still a lot, if Mo Ranyue can get used to riding a horse, it will be a few days sooner .

"Then tell Uncle Fu to prepare the carriage." Mo Ranyue said before going out to look for Uncle Fu.

"Wait" Mu Qichen stopped the child who said that wind is rain and asked, "Will it be uncomfortable if I ride a horse?"

"Well, young master, I haven't ridden a horse before, so I don't know." Mo Ranyue stopped and said with her head down, suddenly feeling very useless.

"I was negligent." Mu Qichen said lightly, "Don't prepare a carriage for now, come with me tomorrow, if you can't stand it, find a carriage."

Mo Ranyue nodded.He still didn't understand what Mu Qichen meant by being with him, but he just thought that if he felt uncomfortable, he would bear it and not let the young master see it.

"Okay, after tossing around for so long, let Huanyan prepare hot water and bring over lunch later." Mu Qichen took a sip of tea.

Mo Ranyue responded and went out to talk to Huan Yan.

After a while, the servants brought hot water, Mu Qichen took a shower, changed his clothes, and led Mo Ranyue to lunch.

After dinner, Mu Qichen went to Lord Mu's side, listened to what he had to say, and told him about going to Yuangu tomorrow, and got the nod of Lord Mu before going back to Luoxuanju.

After half an afternoon of reading in the room, someone came to the palace to invite Mu Qichen to a banquet in the evening, and Mu Qichen gave Mo Ranyue some advice before following him.

This dinner invited the top three and five first-rank Jinshi and some ministers. Before the dinner started, everyone was whispering to the people next to their seats.

Mu Qichen looked around for a week, and happened to meet the eyes of Liu Siyun and Tong Luoshu. The three of them nodded, and Liu Siyun and Tong Luoshu mouthed their congratulations.In fact, they really didn't expect Mu Qichen to be the champion, although they always knew that Mu Qichen was highly educated and his articles were very insightful.

A loud and long voice broke the whispers below, "The emperor is here!" Everyone stood up one after another, bowing their heads.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" As Emperor Jin took his seat, everyone said in unison.

"Everyone, let's go to peace, tonight is a feast of fame and fame, no need to be restrained." It can be heard that Emperor Jin is in a good mood.

"Your Majesty Xie" everyone was seated, hearing that Emperor Jin's tone was less fearful.

After toasting the chips, Li Jieming, Prime Minister of the Left, said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this year's Jiazi are all in the form of dragons and phoenixes, which is my blessing."

"Hehe, Li Xiangzhi's words really touched my heart. It means that there are more talented people in this generation." Emperor Jin laughed, looking down.

Needless to say, Mu Qichen, although the No. [-] and Tanhua are not comparable to Mu Qichen, they are also considered delicate and graceful. Although they have a bookish air, they are not rigid and sour like a scholar.

Liu Siyun was born in a family of generals, and his father was a general in the army, so naturally he was not bad.Although Tong Luoshu was a descendant of a civil servant, he liked martial arts more since he was a child. The right minister tried to persuade him many times to no avail, so he had to let him go.

"You can tell just by looking at the number one scholar, the emperor's eyes are as bright as a torch," Minister of Rites took the opportunity to compliment him.

"Speaking of Zhuangyuanlang, Zhuangyuanlang is still Mu Laohou's beloved grandson," Hubu Shangshu said.

"Qi Chen, Mu Laohou has always been good." Emperor Jin turned his head to look at Mu Qichen and asked.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, Grandpa's body is still quite strong," Mu Qichen said while sitting on the seat and bowing his head.

"Hehe, that's good." Emperor Jin smiled and said, "I heard that Mu Qichen's master was born as a Meige elder"

"That's right, Mr. Mei doesn't think grass people's qualifications are dull, it's the blessing of grass people." Said Mei Shiren, Mu Qichen's tone softened a bit.

"I've heard that Mr. Mei loves you very much. He always praises you for your talent and intelligence. It's hard to find in a hundred years."

"It's just that Mr. Mei thinks of drafters, and the emperor praised him."

"This is because you are too modest, haha, let's not talk about this." Emperor Jin looked up, "It's rare that the moon is still round tonight, why don't all the gentlemen make poems and solitaires with the moon as the title, with the moon as the head and how about ending with the month? I will reward those who are good"

The emperor said so, and everyone naturally had no opinion. The emperor started first, and then continued.

After playing for a round, there is no doubt that the best poetry is Mu Qichen.

Emperor Jin was very satisfied with Mu Qichen's performance. After all, he personally decided on the number one prize. Mu Qichen's knowledge is so good, it is also a matter of face to him.When the emperor is happy, rewards are naturally indispensable.

The dinner was not over until the palace was about to have a curfew.

Outside the palace gate, Mu Qichen, Liu Siyun, and Tong Luoshu said that they were going to Yuangu, and the two told him to be careful on the road and not to cross.
