Chapter 250: Horseback Parade

"Well, we had a chance encounter many years ago." Xiao Jingzhao's expression was calm.

"We didn't lie to you, did we? Miss Jiang is as beautiful as a fairy, especially the beauty mark between her eyebrows, which is unforgettable."

Talking about beauties, the prime minister's eyebrows danced and his expression was in high spirits.

"Your Majesty, the ministers should be urging you to select a queen next. Do you want to consider Miss Jiang?"

"Xiangzhi is very free today, would you like to help me..."

"No, Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to help. I drank a few too many drinks at the banquet just now, and I feel dizzy and sleepy."

Lin Xiangzhi waved his hands repeatedly, then covered his face with his sleeves and yawned. He quickly selected two houses not far from each other on the book and left in a hurry.

After the banquet in Qionglin, Su Jin went straight back to Jiang Mansion.

"Second place! Our Ah Jin is really good. It's amazing to be in the top three." Jiang Shuyue was very happy to learn that Su Jin won the second place.

"Sister, this is not enough. I am a seventh-grade editor. I will work hard to grow into a big tree that can protect my sister and her from the wind and rain."

Jiang Shuyue was moved to tears by Su Jin's words.

It's not that relatives are better than relatives. At this moment, she felt that she was not alone in this other world.

She picked up the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, and said earnestly: "Sister, as long as you are safe and happy, and your career goes smoothly, do your best. He is a wise king."

"Um!"

There was another happy event in the mansion, so Jiang Shuyue had no choice but to ask Qiu Ju to reward the maids and servants, and asked Gao Mu to go to the Juxian Pavilion to invite a banquet back to the mansion to celebrate.

The palace sent someone to deliver the court clothes, and also talked about the horse riding parade tomorrow.

Everything was arranged by the people from the Ministry of Etiquette, and Jiang Shuyue asked Qiu Ju to prepare enough purses to reward.

When Su Nan learned that her eldest brother had won the second place, she was both happy and stressed.

These days, Gao Mu teaches basic skills every year, and Sunan follows suit.

In his words, even if you learn a little bit about it, you can still fool people even if you use your skills and tricks.

The next morning, people from the palace came to Jiang Mansion early.

With the help of the palace servants, Su Jin dressed neatly and sat in the hall to wait.

Jiang Shuyue saw Su Jin looking towards the door from time to time, and she said: "The etiquette team is waiting for the No. 1 Scholar outside Zhen's Mansion, and they will be here soon."

"Well, sister, don't worry, just ride a horse and swim through a few main streets." Su Jin comforted her even though she was nervous.

In the past, the parade lasted for three days, but the emperor changed it to one day, and after three days, everyone took office.

Jiang Shuyue looked at the keys in the tray and said, "Don't be in a hurry to move out. Cangyun can give it to you every morning."

"Okay, my sister will come with me tomorrow to have a look. It's close to the palace gate. I need my sister to send someone to help me clean it up before I go there to live there."

Jiang Shuyue had no choice but to nod. It was close to the palace gate, so Su Jin didn't have to get up too early. It was the property of the imperial court, and the money to rent it was not much.

Qiu Ju, Lan'er and Mei'er distributed silver rewards to everyone in the palace one by one.

Holding heavy purses, everyone was smiling and respectful, without any intention of putting on airs.

The gongs and drums sounded outside the door, and immediately a messenger sang: "Please mount the horse."

Everyone surrounded Su Jin and walked outside.

"Yaozu, do you think my uncle is wearing a red robe today? Does he look like a groom on his way to welcome a bride?"

Under the mullioned window at the back of the hall, two little heads poked their heads into the hall.

Yaozu scratched his forehead and said, "Master, I haven't seen the bridegroom official yet, but Mr. Su's official uniform is quite majestic."

"You two, stop looking. Everyone has left. There are many people on the street today. How about we just write in the house?"

The two of them were fascinated. At some point, Sunan came behind them.

…

After leaving the mansion and not walking far, the etiquette team quickly joined the team, Bai Zhou, the most beautiful woman.

The three of them are wearing gold-flowered black gauze hats, faces like jade, red robes, and horses with golden saddles and red manes.

The officials in front cleared the way, followed closely by the honor guard. With a smile on his face, Zhuangyuan Zhenjingxiu kept offering his hands to the followers and people on both sides of the street.

From the teahouse windows on both sides of the street, girls threw silk flowers at the three of them from time to time.

The crowd cheering in front and behind watched Silk Flower almost fall into the arms of the No. 1 Scholar.

Someone cheered and shouted: "Hurry up, the number one scholar. The names on the gold list are inscribed. Let's have a wedding night and everything will be happy."

The shout made everyone burst into laughter.

Su Jin and Bai Zhou were also surrounded by a group of people. Many officials and people followed the team, forming a huge and powerful team walking forward.

Lin Xiangzhi and Xie Yunchen were also among them. They picked up a silk flower from somewhere and stuck it behind their ears.

Seeing the girls' enthusiasm for the three talents, the two of them clapped and cheered from time to time, as if they didn't mind the matter.

When the girls saw the appearance of the three people clearly, some people exclaimed, "It is said that the emperor's chosen number one is Maung Sai Phan An, but today the number one winner and the second number two are both extraordinary in appearance, and they are as handsome as the number two."

"Yes! The number one scholar has a face like a crown jade and a graceful demeanor. The number two scholar has red lips and white teeth and is as gentle as jade. The number one scholar has handsome eyes and slender eyebrows. He is tall and tall. I don't know which daughter is lucky enough to get such a good son-in-law."

Someone immediately echoed, "If the three of us were walking side by side, we really wouldn't be able to tell who was looking for the best."

Gao Mu and Cangyun followed Guan Cha and saw a girl throwing silk flowers at the three of them along the way.

When Cangyun saw that Su Jin deliberately let the silk flowers slip from his sleeves, he could not wait to pick them up and stuff them into Su Jin's arms.

Most of the people who threw silk flowers were young ladies from official families, and the three handsome young men were full of youth, like banished immortals who could not eat the fireworks of the world.

…

In Changle Palace.

Changle sat on the couch, took the melon seeds that Jing'er had peeled and threw them into the air, then raised her head and opened her mouth to catch them.

She threw several seeds in a row, and almost all of them went into her mouth steadily.

"Princess, if you are really bored, I will pretend to be a scholar in the teahouse and tell you a story?" Jing'er was terrified. She was afraid that the melon seeds would fall into the princess' throat and choke her. There was a precedent of choking before.

Changle smacked her lips and shook her head: "Your story is not as interesting as the storyteller. I want to go out and see the champion riding a horse across the street."

"Princess, you don't want to see the champion riding a horse across the street. You really want to go to Jiang Mansion." Jing'er muttered softly and glanced outside the palace.

Aunt Cai hasn't come today, so it seems that there is no need to learn the rules today.

Changle jumped up from the couch and patted Jing'er's shoulder heavily.

She said carelessly, "Jing'er knows me well. Go to the gate of Changle Palace to see if that annoying eunuch is there. If not, come back and report. We are going to leave the palace."

Jing'er was so scared that she knelt down with a plop.

"Your Highness, please spare me. If Aunt Cai knows, she will break my legs."

"What are you afraid of? Aunt Cai has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. When have you ever seen her really hit anyone?"

After the Queen Mother learned about the kidnapping, she confined Changle's feet and specially sent a little eunuch to guard the gate of the palace, not allowing Changle to leave Changle Palace without permission.

These days, Aunt Cai comes to teach the rules for an hour. Changle pretends to obey but disobeys, and learns well. As long as Aunt Cai leaves, she will show her true colors.

Since yesterday, she has been thinking about finding a way to leave the palace.

Knowing that the number one scholar would be paraded on horseback today, she went to the emperor to plead for mercy yesterday when the eunuch outside the palace was not there. However, eunuch Ma said that the emperor was busy and had no time to see her.

How could Jing'er not listen to her master?

"Your Highness, wait. I will be back soon."

She gritted her teeth and ran out.
