On the first day of April, Chang'an City ushered in a warm spring breeze. The remaining snow accumulated on the tiles turned into a trickle, gradually dripping from the eaves, and wet footprints were printed on the bluestone floor.

The small stalls selling on the street were shouting one after another, the young children were entangled in the lifelike sugar people at the stall market, and the girl in her prime looked forward to going out of the city with her lover to explore the spring, leading the kite that yearns for love...

Outside the Qixiamen City in the south of Chang'an, a luxurious and exquisite carriage slowly rushed in, and next to it was well-equipped iron cavalry leading the way, squeezing the crowd.

Li Chengqian knelt down in the carriage, uncovered the curtains from his side, and glanced back and forth at the noisy crowd, as if the nature of a child who had been suppressed for a long time was liberated.

He smiled and said to the little girl who was doing the front, "Lizhi, April 1st is a good day for spring. Today I will bring you here. I am afraid that by next year, Changsun Chong will bring you there. There is no need to buy kites in the East City. He will cut them and paper them for you."

He made a rare teasing saying that he sent kites on the day of spring, and was regarded as a token of love by a boy and a girl who "knows that he is lustful but admires young wormwood".

On New Year's Day this year, his father had already decided to marry Li Lizhi, the eldest son of Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji.

This is a political marriage, and it is also a close relationship.

Li Lizhi is six years old this year. Although she looks beautiful, she looks pretty and cute. Her kneeling etiquette reveals some good upbringing. Her weak appearance makes people feel sorry for her.

Her petite body leaned against the carriage and whispered: "Don't tease the prince brother, don't want to make fun of the beautiful girl. That Changsun Chong is so boring. I have seen him at my uncle's house. He looks like a stupid goose. When I see me, I'm so nervous that I can't speak. I... I... even if I die, I don't want to... marry him!"

After saying that, he turned his head aside with his angrily, and his two little hands twisted his skirt, as if proving her determination, and emphasized: "If the father really wants to marry him, I will... hit him to death."

"Li Zhi should not talk nonsense." Li Chengqian was startled and said quickly: "Changsun Chong is the eldest son of his uncle. He will inherit the title of Duke Zhao from the future. Besides, the Changsun family has been a scholarly family for generations, can you still be humiliated?"

"Why is the prince's brother the same as his father, his face is the same, and his words are the same, and he doesn't coax Lizhi anymore..." Li Lizhi's almond eyes were covered with mist, and she seemed to shed tears when she was not satisfied. She covered her head and cried, "I want to tell the fourth brother about this, just say... the prince's brother bullied Xiaolizhi."

"Qingque?" Li Chengqian frowned, remembering the voices of Kong Yingda and others scolding him. Qingque is the most talented prince in literature, and even his elder brother was suppressed.

But when he thought of Li Tai's cute fat face and the situation where he was about to breathe after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but feel relieved. The little fat man is always adorable.

He smiled and said, "Even if you sued Lizhi and came to your fourth brother, I'm afraid he would tell you the same thing. Although Changsun Chong was a little dull, he was still a good match. In addition, you and him are also aware of the truth..."

At this point, Li Chengqian sighed a few times in his heart. The past year passed quickly, and he also ascended the position of the crown prince of the Qin Prince's Mansion as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. His past innocent childlike charm was scolded by the assistant minister of the Eastern Palace again and again, and he gradually drifted away. Only when he got along with Li Lizhi, a mother of compatriots, could he recover some of the children's nature.

It was not only the eldest daughter Li Lizhi who decided to marry, but also someone had already chosen his crown princess.

He also remembered the edict that day clearly. The old eunuch Wang Zhen drafted it and said in his ears: "I will enthrone Su Ya's daughter as the Crown Princess: I will be a decree of De Yuanliang, and I will wait for Bangyuan to be the second crown prince, and I will return to the Guan clan, and the eldest daughter of the secretary Su Ya's son, and the family inherited the righteousness, and the gentleness of the exposition, and the quietness of the nature, and the training and history, honor the country, and the throne of the state, and the throne of the court. The Crown Princess, who is in charge of the rituals and orders, will be carried out by the Lord."

"By the way, Prince Brother, Lizhi heard that Changsun Chong was going to participate in the medical school assessment." Li Lizhi wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, and a cramped smile flashed on her face inadvertently.

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, knelt down and straightened it a little, rubbed Li Lizhi's head, and sighed: "You and the queen are really not like each other at all. They are obviously concerned about it, but they still feel unwilling to accept it and are unwilling to......"

......

Qujiangfang in the southern city of Chang'an is famous for its proximity to Qujiang Pond.

Qujiangchi is named after the winding rivers and slow water flow, so it is named Qujiangchi. It has been a garden with excellent scenery since ancient times. It was dug by Emperor Wu of Han on the former site of Qin Yichun Garden. I heard that there were also training sailors here...

Later, Emperor Wen of Sui visited here. Because of the gorgeous blooming of hibiscus, he established the royal garden of Furong Garden here. Qujiang Pond was also renamed Furong Pond. It was not until the early Tang Dynasty that he changed his name back, such as the relationship between Daxing City and Chang'an City.

However, on the first day of the April 1st year of Zhenguan, Qujiangchi was not only well known to the people of Chang'an, but scholars from all over the country also gradually set foot here.

The Qujiang Pond, with the hazy smoke and water, the flowers are red and willows are green, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the water. On both sides of the Qujiang River, the palaces are continuous, the towers are undulating, the purple cloud towers, the colorful cloud pavilions are red walls and green tiles, and the green trees are hidden. Against the vast and wavy lake water, it seems to be a beautiful watercolor painting.

The pleasure boats on the water are for emperors, concubines and nobles to visit. Because Qujiang Pool is in the south city and Tai Chi Hall is in the north of Longshouyuan, a Jiacheng along the city wall was built during the Sui Dynasty for the people in the palace to play and use.

Although this royal garden is exclusive to the royal family on weekdays, the people are not allowed to enter. At the end of each month or on some festivals, such as February mid-moor, March mid-month, July mid-year, September Double Ninth Festival and other times, the people will be opened to the people to show the court's kindness.

In addition, every March 3rd, the new Jinshi had to enjoy the emperor's banquet here, as usual, as the first to enumerate the title in Yanta. It was later called the Qujiang Banquet, and was known as the Qionglin Banquet in Qionglin Garden during the Song Dynasty.

Recently, it is a bit special. Qujiang Lake, which was confined in the past, was crowded. The scholars led by Gao Guanbo were enjoying the beautiful scenery of the garden, holding the thread-covered books in their hands, and sniffing the fragrance of the blooming flowers. Even though they felt the smell was a little messy, it did not affect their mood at all. They all walked confidently towards the Royal Medical College.

Qujiangfang is extremely large, and the Royal Medical College only accounts for a part of the north.

Calamus Palace.

Hundreds of scholars sat upright, putting a few sheets of thin paper on their tables, with exquisite patterns on them, which were clearly seen from the hands of everyone. When they saw Yan Liben's regular characters written in the right corner of the paper, they naturally knew it.

Yan Liben was a court painter.

"If you don't post the scriptures and Mo Yi, you put these pieces of tissue paper on the table. Could it be... the painter who assessed us... The medical school is unique and different from the Imperial College. It was as expected by me, but the painter..."

The calligraphy and painting of scholars are basically interconnected, but they are both shallow and deep. Several scholars with excellent calligraphy and painting showed smug smiles.

But as several lecturers with a pale face walked into the hall, shouting: "The first assessment of the Royal Medical College... castrated pig!"

As a result, the scholars' smiles gradually froze...
