Chapter 171 Escorting Grain

On the first day of April, Yan Huo copied the Peace Sutra in his study, preparing to go to the Xishi Temple tomorrow and burn it in front of the Buddha. Then he heard the maid outside say, "Please pay tribute to Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu, please wait and let me report it."

Yan Huo put down his pen and walked out. Looking at Fu Zhixing standing in the corridor, he smiled brightly: "Cousin Fu, you are here."

Fu Zhixing walked over, put his hand on her shoulder, and half hugged her into the room. The maid brought in tea and retreated. Fu Zhixing leaned over, kissed the corner of her mouth, hugged her in her arms, and called in her ear: "Xiaoxiao."

"Um"

"Xiaoxiao."

"Um"

"Xiaoxiao."

"Cousin Fu, what are you saying so hard to say?" Yan Qiu pushed him away, "Do you want to take a concubine?"

"No." Fu Zhixing shook his head, this little jealous jar.

"That's what I did to be sorry for me?" Yan Huo asked glaring at him.

"No, don't guess randomly, I'm going to escort food to Deshi City." Fu Zhixing reached out and hugged her back in his arms.

Desh City!

Yan Hu may not know other places, but she knew very well here that her sixth brother was there. "Why are you?" Yan Hu asked stupidly if he could not go. This is the emperor's destiny, and the emperor's destiny cannot be violated. Fu Zhixing cannot be controlled.

"What is the Ministry of Revenue in charge?" Fu Zhixing asked with a faint smile.

"You are not the Minister of Revenue." Yan Huo said in a depressed manner.

"If I were the Minister of Revenue, I wouldn't have to go there in person. Don't worry, the chief officer is Lord Pei, the left minister of the Ministry of War. The emperor also sent Bao Rong's family to escort the troops." Fu Zhixing gently stroked her back.

"Who has the Lord sent to lead troops to escort you?" Yan Huo asked with his head raised.

"Bao Rong's family." Fu Zhixing replied.

Yan Huo smiled bitterly, "Now the three of us are really sympathetic."

Fu Zhixing held the back of her head and kissed her. Thinking that the parting was about to come, Yan Hu responded enthusiastically. After the kiss, Yan Hu buried his face in his arms, and opened his mouth to breathe gently. Fu Zhixing smiled and hugged the little girl in his arms.

"When will you set off?" Yan Qiu asked.

"Tomorrow." Fu Zhixing replied.

"What? Let's go tomorrow!" Yan Huo broke free from his arms and ran out.

"Xiaoxiao?" Fu Zhixing followed him and chased him out.

Yan Huo entered the living room, and Fu Zhixing followed in, "Xiaoxiao."

Yan Huo took out a bag from the box next to the window and stuffed it into Fu Zhixing's arms, "I made a piece of clothes for you. I originally wanted to make a belt and shoes, and I would like to give it to you on your birthday. Now I will give you the clothes first, I have not done the belt and shoes yet."

Holding Yan Huo's clothes, Fu Zhixing was moved, but seeing a few bright red pinholes on her white and tender hands, she frowned and grabbed her hand, "Why are you injured? If you are injured in making clothes, I won't care no matter how good the clothes are." Fu Zhixing looked at the pinhole on her fingertips and felt it was very dazzling.

"It's not hard, I'm so happy to think that Cousin Fu can put on the clothes I made with my own hands." Yan Huo smiled.

"So happy?" Fu Zhixing lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl with a smile like a flower, with a deep look.

"It's very happy." Yan Huo smiled so hard that his eyes were bent. He was filled with joy when he thought of Fu Zhixing put on the clothes she made himself.

Fu Zhixing hugged her again, "Xiaoxiao, wait for me to come back." After that, he left with a bag.

The next day, Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing went to see him off, but they just watched from a distance and did not say goodbye. But Fu Zhixing seemed to sense it, looked back and saw the little girl standing on the city wall, and raised his horse whip.

Yan Huo raised the corners of his lips and waved his handkerchief.

On the morning of the fifth day of April, the emperor announced the addition of the Kaienke and appointed the chief examiner and two deputy examiners. It was a customary practice for the new emperor to ascend the throne to the throne, and the candidates from all over the country have already entered Beijing one after another.

After the work was over, the eunuch was about to sing, "Retreat the court."

"The emperor's harem is empty, and I think it should be selected to expand the harem." An official from the Ministry of Rites asked again unwillingly. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor only had one queen, two concubines and three concubines, which was too far apart. What's more, the emperor was still there, and the new king did not need to be filial, so he should have a few more beauties to fill the harem.

The emperor did not refuse this time and agreed to the talent show. The capital was bustling with a lot of lively because of Kaienke, and now it became even more lively. Spring was full of flowers and flowers were blooming. The business of silver houses, gold shops, and ready-to-wear shops was very prosperous.

On the sixth day of the fourth month, Empress Chen Qianqiu, Yan Huo followed his mother to the palace to celebrate. He ate, drank, offered birthday gifts, and enjoyed singing and dancing performances. There was no new meaning. At the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, after the banquet, he left the palace and went home.

The eighth day of April, the Buddha Bath Festival is also known as the Buddha’s birth meeting, the Buddha’s sacrificial ceremony, the Birthday meeting, etc. The major temples in the capital hold Buddha Bath Festival, decocting incense, sugar water, or gifting or buying it for pilgrims and pedestrians. In previous years, Yan Hu did not participate in this activity. This year, for Yan Tongliang and Fu Zhixing, Yan Hu knelt in front of the Buddha devoutly, "The war spreads and the people suffer. I ask the Buddha to show his power to calm the war and prevent the people from suffering. My Buddha is merciful, please bless my sixth brother and cousin Fu to be safe and sound."

Princess Heyi and Yu Qingqing also knelt beside her and prayed to the Buddha, "Please the Buddha bless my fifth brother (Sharyu) for health."

Yan Huo took out his purse, put the silver ingot inside into the merit box, "This is the incense and oil money given to the Buddha by the faithful girl, please ask for the Buddha's blessing."

Princess Heyi and Yu Qingqing also donated the silver ingots on their bodies, and then each of them went home with a porcelain bottle of fragrant medicine and sugar water.

On the tenth day of April, the list of talent shows was announced. Miss Yan's family was not on the list of talent shows, and Wei Miaoniang's name was on. Wei Yan was unwilling to send her concubine's daughter to the palace to fight for the glory and wealth; Wei Miaoniang was ecstatic, but she didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to participate in the talent show. She didn't want to be the emperor's woman, she just hoped that the emperor could point her to the prince, even if she was a concubine, as long as she could stay with him.

"Chunjuan, go prepare the incense table, I want to worship the moon." Wei Miaoniang ordered.

"Miss Second, today is the tenth day of the first lunar month." Chunjuan reminded her.

"Who said that you can't worship the moon on the tenth day of the lunar month?" Wei Miaoniang said unhappily.

I have always been worshiping the moon for a full moon, but who would pay half a month? But my master wanted to worship and be a maid, but I could not help her. Chun Juan went out to prepare the incense table. Wei Miaoniang dressed up again, put on her new clothes, and went to the garden to express her three incense sticks to the bright moon.

On April 25, Enko entered the first game, and the imperial examinations gathered at the Gongyuan. On the same day, 156 girls of the age of suitable age entered the palace for the preliminary election. Wei Yan took Wei Miaoniang's hand and told him: "Miaoniang, your elder brother will send you over, don't be afraid. If you hold these purses, you will be more generous in the future, and you don't have to worry about the money."

"Thank you, mother." Wei Miaoniang's eyes were slightly red and she bowed her knees. She would definitely take care of her and she could definitely stay with the prince's side.

The Wei family is a little far from the palace. When the Wei brothers and sisters arrived, there were already many girls waiting to be selected outside the palace gate. Wei Xiangming led the concubine to meet the eunuch in charge and presented his father's famous post with Zhang Yinbao.
