Chapter 95: Royal Street Fighting Horses
"Everyone, come with me..."
After a while, after the court officials dispersed, Liu Hong and Jin Kezi, who were still in joy and had not come back to their senses, said, and then walked out of Fuhua Hall with a smile, following the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the eunuch in the palace.?????
I think this situation is going to be a horse on the street.
Even Liu Xi had an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart. The group came out of the hall. At this moment, the morning light was coming out of the clouds, and a large area of rays of rays spread out in the sky. Looking up, it made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Sir 6, let's leave the previous things to our family."
Outside the hall, the red-robed eunuch who had seen before came over, and Liu Hong nodded, "Then I'll bother Eunuch Ma, and I will send someone to take them later."
Under the leadership of the red-robed eunuch, everyone came to another side hall. The little eunuch who had been waiting for brought different gorgeous court robes and took them to change them in the order of the Jinshi.
After changing, Liu Xi looked at the dazzling red, wide cuffs and two outstretched crown wings on his head, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"I have also played the horse and the streets, and I have been thriving in my life."
Someone behind me whispered, and suddenly, a few people laughed. Han Zai didn't know that spring and autumn passed, and he buried his head in front of the window. After years of hard work, he finally achieved success and fame. He rode horses and paraded the streets, and the scenery was even more beautiful than tens of millions of people.
Liu Xi was not interested in fame and fortune, and what he did was just to use the power of Li Tang, so naturally there was no such sigh of pain as to achieve success through hard work. However, when he arrived here, he still felt a little moved, not to mention the people who had been forgetting to eat and sleep for many years in order to pass the imperial examination.
I saw them pinching themselves hard, and when they felt the pain, they told themselves again that they were not the scene in their dreams. They wiped them away with tears of joy and rushed to the brocade.
Soon, the sound of tiny footsteps came, but the eunuch in red robe came back. Seeing that everyone was dressed neatly, he threw the whisk in his hand and laughed loudly, "The auspicious time is coming, everyone will go with us."
Following the red-robed eunuch, he walked out again. Liu Xi only felt that he had become a puppet and was at mercy. However, the scenery of horses and parading on the streets was extremely beautiful. Even if he was obedient, it would be very good.
"Mr. Liu, our family is Ma Sanping, who serves the emperor in front of the emperor."
While walking halfway, the eunuch in the red robe smiled and said, although the other party was a eunuch and had a broken body, he naturally could not underestimate the methods he did in front of Emperor Tang. Now he came to meet him on his own initiative, and Liu Xi immediately responded, "It turns out that it is Eunuch Ma, and I hope my father-in-law will take care of him in the future."
After the words came, contemptuous eyes came from behind him. Liu Xi pretended not to see it. He fought openly and secretly in the court, and was deceiving and deceitful. How could a arrogant and noble person survive?
Ma Sanping also noticed it, shook the whisk in his hand, snorted coldly, and then smiled and started talking to Liu Xi.
Walking through the palace pavilions, Li Mengxiao and his brother came over with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
Li Mengxiao was wearing a white long gown and a red embroidered jacket. Her hair was hanging next to her jade cheeks. She was tied into a flying butterfly shape and was inserted into a jade bead hairpin.
On one side, Li Ze had a golden jade crown, a dragon's cloud-clad clothes, surrounded by pearl-storing ribbons, and a pair of silver-edged shoes with crabapple flowers.
"Sister, there!"
Li Ze suddenly pointed at Li Xi and said, a happy smile appeared on his fat and tender face, and his two tiger teeth also emerged.
After jogging forward for a few steps, Li Mengxiao stopped her figure again, with a little shyness and panic in her beautiful eyes. She glanced at the sight of no one around her. She blinked happily with her underestimation, making her face look as before again. Then she continued to raise her head and walk towards Liu Xi.
"I have seen the prince and the princess."
Ma Sanping bent down and bowed, and so did Liu Xi. The new Jinshi who had never seen Li Mengxiao and his brother also realized it and hurriedly bowed to them.
Li Mengxiao didn't pay attention to the person who was celebrating in front of her, but just smiled and looked Liu Xi around and said, "I didn't expect that you really won the top scorer, and you looked a little bit more in this outfit than usual!"
The laughter of Yinling was very pleasant, and Li Mengxiao's soft face was unbearable to look at her. While she was laughing, the golden butterfly wings were dancing on the end of the hairpin between her bun, as if she was about to leave.
"The princess is accused of praise, and I am quite frightened."
After hearing Liu Xi say this, Li Mengxiao smiled again, "You are interesting. You used to be a commoner but spoke without any restraint. Now you have become the top scholar but have become cautious. It's so funny... Hehe... Let's spare you today. I'll stay here for a few days and go to find you. Don't stay in the door, otherwise I'll let my father remove your official position..."
While chatting and laughing, Li Mengxiao left lightly, and Li Ze followed her, but when she passed by Liu Xi, her black little eyes rolled a few times and raised her thick eyebrows, leaving Liu Xi with a smiley face that you know.
After the two left, the other people looked at Liu Xi even more complicated. What kind of person was they? Maybe they were dissatisfied with talent, but at a young age, they met the Tang Dynasty, princes and even princesses, and even had good friendships. How can this be done?
"Haha, the princess hasn't been so happy for a long time."
Ma Sanping said casually, then threw the whisk in his hand, "It's getting late, I'm afraid the 6th Secretary is going to be anxious, so I'll go ahead!"
Continue moving forward, and a person from the Ministry of Rites welcomed him. Even the minister of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect his confidant around him.
"Mr. Wang, I have given it to you, so our family will go back and wait for the emperor to send him."
Upon hearing this, the King of Rites said to Ma San with a flat nod and said with a smile, "The 6th Lord has already explained that I will do my best. Eunuch Ma will ask."
After Ma Sanping left, the group followed Wang Zhongyuan out of Chaoyang Gate and crossed Zhuque Bridge. The people from the Ministry of Rites, who had already prepared many things, bowed and walked over.
"Sir, everything is ready, please check it out."
Wang Zhongyuan nodded and looked forward. Dozens of high-headed horses were hung with red silk. Two servants stood beside each horse, one holding a horse reins, and the other holding a red wooden sign in his hand, which read the hometown of the Jinshi and the first grade he won.
After looking at the sky, the auspicious time had come. Wang Zhongyuan signaled the beginning of the parade. The sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded, and Liu Xi and others took their horses according to the wooden sign.
Without his worries, the follower who was holding the reins led the horse to walk. After walking for a while, there were not many people watching on the street. I think it was because of this that it was mostly official residences and strict tutoring, so he could not enter and exit the courtyard at will, or the new scholars who entered the ranks did not have any strange things about them.
After leaving Tianjie and crossing Mujin Bridge, more and more people were watching. The young and old men and women, Huang Chuiwu, rushed to the streets.
Some women even carried out the baby's infant and pointed at Liu Xi and others, their eyes full of hope and ignorant children, as if they were saying to him that they would be so glorious in the future.
There were also many young ladies on the street pointing at Liu Xi and others from time to time, covering their mouths and laughing. Although Li Tang talked about ethics, the women in the people did not have many rules, and it was also possible to show up in the street market to play.
Riding on the horse and watching countless little girls smile with him, and even more delicate slim pointed at him, Liu Xi felt very uncomfortable. The situation in front of him seemed to have been harassed in consciousness. When he thought of this, he felt more uncomfortable.
The Santang Street where the parade was not long, but it walked very slowly. Liu Xi kept a faint smile on his face, while the other scholars were already happy and couldn't stop smiling.
"Young Master! Youth!"
A familiar voice suddenly came from the crowd. Looking up, Liu Xi saw Wu Shuang'er waving her arms. Her side was Tian Xun'er, Qin Yiran, Ma Xiu, Lin Yi, Dawu, Qu Lang and Zhang Xiaoquan.
They all came, their faces were full of joy. Even Ma Xiu raised the wine gourd in his hand towards Liu Xi, and the peach blossom eyes were full of charm.
After passing Santang Street, walking around Nanxuanmen Street, and then returning to the Ministry of Rites, it was already noon. After a few hours of struggle, the weak-faced scholars were not tired at all. They talked about the scene they saw during the parade with a full face, and wished they could ride on their horses again and walk for three days and three nights.
The clothes that had been replaced in the palace had already been sent, so Liu Xi and others changed their clothes, bowed and said goodbye to Wang Zhongyuan, and agreed to have a drink and chat with many people who wanted to make friends with him another day, so they pulled away and walked back.
