Chapter 389 Loved by the Emperor for a lifetime (1)
"Old Zhou is the backbone of the country, so it's normal that he doesn't know much about the younger generation." Rong Xia ticked off a few names on the list, "Since I have ascended the throne, the world is waiting to be revived. Next year, Enke will be opened and the world will be embraced." Genius."
"Your Majesty is holy." Several courtiers saluted in unison. In recent years, many scholars have been persecuted because of the Jiang family's fuss. Now that His Majesty opens Enke, the happiest person must be the literati in the world. The only problem is that the notices are now posted all over the country, and some scholars in remote places may not be able to reach the capital in time.
Zhou Bingan raised this question, and Rong Xia said: "Since the imperial examination is not held according to the rules, there is no need to stick to the time. It is convenient to set the time until the end of April."
"Your Majesty is benevolent and considerate of the literati in the world. I thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the students."
"In my opinion, you, Yao Peiji, and Liu Banshan will be in charge of this imperial examination." Rong Xia has long been used to the behavior of these old foxes who like to praise him when they have nothing to do. It is still up to the two of you to decide."
Let them take charge of the first imperial examination after the new emperor ascended the throne. This is a great face, and it also shows the new emperor's trust in them. Zhou Bingan and Yao Peiji are both smart people, knowing that His Majesty intends to train Liu Banshan, they immediately agreed and praised Liu Banshan by the way.
Liu Banshan is only 30 years old now, and he has already taken the position of Minister of Dali Temple. There is a lot of room for promotion in the future. Even for the sake of future generations, they don't want to offend this person.
After the courtiers left, Rong Xia looked down again at the list presented to him by Zhou Bingan and the others. Zhu Bi paused on Xie Qilin's name for a long time, and finally crossed out his name again.
"Your Majesty, the empress is here."
"Please." Rong Xia stood up and wanted to greet him at the door, but looked down at the list, took a memorial and changed it on it.
"Rong Xia." Ban Hua walked in, holding a plate of dim sum in his hand, a bit like the one that Rong Xia had eaten at Ban's house. It's been a long time since I ate it, and I can't remember the taste clearly. All I know is this A plate of dim sum is worth more than such a plate of silver.
"I brought this cook from my mother's house, you can try it." Ban Hua put the plate on the table, twisted a piece and put it in Rong Xia's mouth, "Is it delicious?"
Rong Xia nodded.
"You stay in the temple all day to deal with business, don't tire yourself out," Ban Hua pushed him on the chair and sat down, pressing his shoulders for him.
Rong Xia grabbed her hand and reached out to pull her into his arms, "Tell me, did you go out and cause trouble?"
"Ah?" Ban Hua looked at Rong Xia inexplicably, "Why should I go out and cause trouble?"
Seeing her dazed and innocent look, Rong Xia fed a piece of snack to her mouth, and said while feeding: "A few days ago, you left the palace, you came back from playing very late, and you are so warm to me."
"It's as if I don't treat you well. After Banhua ate his snack, he bit Rong Xia's fingertips hard. Who knew that Rong Xia wouldn't dodge or evade, so he just smiled and let her bite.
"Are you stupid?" Ban Hua saw that his fingertips had left his own tooth marks, feeling distressed and guilty, "Isn't it snowing outside? I want you to accompany me out of the palace to see the snow scene."
"Tomorrow?" Rong Xia thought for a while, "Okay, I'll accompany you after I stay."
"Okay, I can't change my words," Ban Hua kissed him on the cheek, "Hey, keep approving your memorial, and I won't bother you."
"Wait a minute," Rong Xia pulled her back, and kissed the corners of her lips twice, "You little heartless, just leave when you achieve your goal, and sit here with me for a while."
"Then you critique the memorial, and I'll read the storybook to accompany you." Banhua hugged his neck and said with a smile, "It's okay if I wash and grind your pen for you."
"That's all." Rong Xia picked her up and put her on the cushioned chair, "You just sit here with me."
He recruited Wang De, asked him to fetch two books of Ban Hua's favorite words, and prepared some melons and fruit snacks for her, before sitting back at the imperial case to do his own business. Although the two have different hobbies and personalities, they are inexplicably harmonious when they sit together.
After a while, Rong Xia saw Ban Hua falling asleep lying on the edge of the table, shook her head and chuckled, put the cloak on Ban Hua, picked him up by the waist, and walked out of the imperial study. Seeing this, the eunuchs and maids waiting outside hurriedly put up umbrellas and held pots to shield the empress from the cold wind blowing from outside.
"His Majesty……"
As soon as the female officer opened her mouth, she was frightened back by Rong Xia's cold eyes. He glanced at the wind and snow outside, and quickened his pace to carry Ban Hua back to the apse.
"You all retreat," Rong Xia sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Banhua who was sleeping peacefully, and asked everyone else in the room to retreat.
The room became quiet, and Rong Xia stared blankly at Ban Hua. She saw this face almost every day, but she never got tired of seeing it. Everyone in the world says that when parents look at their children, the more they look at them, the more they feel that their children are unmatched. But he is Huahua's husband, why every time I look at her, I feel that no woman in the world can compare to him?
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that his wife was better than anyone else, her eyes were brighter than others, her mouth was more moist than others, her eyebrows were more beautiful than others, and even when she was angry, she was so beautiful that it made his heart soften.
Can't it be said that he treats Huahua like his daughter?
He laughed at himself, and when he walked out of the inner hall, he saw several court ladies standing quietly outside, he stopped and looked at one of them: "Your name is Ruyi?"
"Your Majesty is as good as your servant."
"You have been serving by the empress's side?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, this servant has been serving Your Majesty since she was ten years old. She has been serving Your Majesty for ten years." Ruyi was a little surprised. His Majesty never said a word to the maids around Your Majesty, and he didn't care what their names were. When the empress was around, His Majesty could hardly see other women. Today... what happened?
Ruyi felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, and could only wait for His Majesty to speak honestly.
Rong Xia wanted to ask her about Hannah and Xie Qilin, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. His brows twitched slightly, "I know, take good care of me."
"Yes." Ru suggested that His Majesty did not intend to continue asking, and bowed and stepped aside.
After Rong Xia left, Yuzhu asked curiously, "Sister Ruyi, what's wrong, Your Majesty?"
