Spring to autumn.

Li Luosu, the young prince of Rongguo, is the heart of the old emperor. Everyone knows that he was crowned prince at the age of three, entered the East Palace at the age of five, and had millions of households under his name at the age of seven. .

After all, there is only such an heir, so of course he is treated like the apple of his eye.

Nine-year-old Li Luosu, dressed in bright red brocade, hurried across the palace road between the East Palace and the Yibao Pavilion, like a fluffy and nimble little fox.

"Prince, slow down! Don't fall!"

A row of palace servants followed in a hurry, but they couldn't beat the energetic brat.

The autumn wind blew up Li Luosu's soft hair, and the thick soles of the moccasin boots clattered as they landed on the bluestone slab.He didn't care about those people behind. He heard that the Western Regions had paid tribute to many novelties this year, and he wanted to be the first to ask his father for rewards.

The old emperor was listening to the head of internal affairs read out the list of tributes, when the servant of the Huangmen beside him reported that the prince was coming.

"Father, Father! What good things are there this year? Let me see!"

A small ball of fire slammed into his arms head-on, with a bit of force, and the old emperor staggered a few steps.

"Don't worry, don't worry, no one will snatch you when you run so fast."

The old emperor wanted to hug Li Luosu, but he didn't hug him all at once, so he had to hold his hand instead, sighing in his heart that it has been ten years, and the little guy has grown so big.

"There are a lot of novelty things to pay tribute to this year. Let's Little Peony choose slowly. If there are fancy things, we will let people move to the East Palace."

The Museum of Alien Treasures has a large space. After the treasures paid in tribute in previous years were registered and compiled, they were all classified into special boxes and placed on storage racks.

Li Luosu's side is quite special, because he receives too many rewards every year, so he specially built a small hall in the East Palace and transformed it into a miniature version of the Yibao Pavilion, which is called the Yibao Pavilion by everyone.Apart from visiting the Royal Garden, Li Luosu just spent time in the Yibao Pavilion.

This year's new tributes were placed one by one in the spacious front hall. While Li Luosu was looking around, the queens and princesses also came to the Treasure Hall.

"Mo Tao is also here to pick and choose. After two years you get married, you can give yourself a dowry at the bottom of the box."

The queen sent the princesses to pick things up, and walked to Li Luosu's side by herself.

"Does Little Peony have anything fancy?"

"Mother, this year's tribute is so boring, it's almost the same as last year's. I also have some here in the East Palace."

Li Luosu pouted to express his dissatisfaction while lifting Gabu, then turned his head and plunged into the queen's arms to act coquettishly.

"Is there any novelty, is there—"

"Then you have to ask your father."

"Father!"

After being called by the little devil, the old emperor suddenly felt a headache.

"Well... You see, there are so many things in our house, and the emperor can't remember them all. Why don't you ask the head of internal affairs?"

The head of internal affairs appeared just right, bowed down respectfully and said to Li Luosu: "Your Highness, why don't you take a look at this thing behind with this old servant?"

The princesses on the side also wanted to join in the fun, but Li Haitang was obsessed with the tribute silk and jewelry from outside the territory, so the others had to let her choose and follow along.

Outside the side door of the Alien Treasure Hall is an open space. In previous years, the huge tributes that could not enter the door would be temporarily placed here. This year, something was placed on the open space, covered with a black cloth, so that people could not peep.

Li Luosu went up to look curiously, and vaguely heard something behind the black cloth, it seemed that it was not a dead thing.There were never any tributes that could vent their anger in the Alien Treasure Hall. Li Luosu's interest soared, and he quickly asked people to uncover the black cloth.

"Ouch-"

Under the black cloth was a cage made of black iron, in which was locked a tiger that was taller than a man, but it was not yellow like ordinary eye-catching worms, this King of Beasts who was taken as a tribute was covered in black and white stripes.

Li Luosu's eyes glowed. He grew up in the palace and although he had seen many rare treasures, this was the first time he saw such a beast.The others were shocked by the beast king's prestige, and they were all a little afraid, only Li Luosu ran forward and walked around the cage.

"Peony, come here, this beast is dangerous!"

"It's okay, Royal Father, look at it lying on its stomach!"

The tiger was indeed lazily lying on its stomach, without giving anyone a look. The roar of the tiger just now was the reaction of being stimulated by the bright light when the black cloth was lifted.

"Father, father, is this the mythical beast Zouyu mentioned in the Shan Hai Jing?"

Seeing that the tiger didn't respond, the old emperor stepped forward, stroked Li Luosu's small head and said, "Zouyu is a tiger with a protruding head, white hair and black stripes tail longer than its body, and it doesn't eat living things and has a gentle disposition. It is a righteous beast." , the tail of the animal in the cage is not as long as its body, and it eats meat and drinks blood, it is a white tiger that came as a tribute from the Western Regions, it is a ferocious beast, you should not approach it lightly."

Before Li Luosu could speak, the ferocious beast in the cage stood up, stretched and walked around.Only then did he see a small black and white mass under the big white tiger.

"Ow~~~"

This cry was much more milky than the milky sound just now. The little white tiger stretched out its paws and shook its fur, walking towards Li Luosu with unsteady steps.

"Father, I want this little guy!"

Everyone at the scene was shocked, and the head of internal affairs immediately said: "You can't do it, Your Highness, the beast is ferocious, what if it hurts you?" received it.

"Yeah, I can give you other things, and you can take as much as you want, but this one doesn't work."

Even though his father objected, Li Luosu had made up his mind. It was the first time he saw such a beautiful and domineering animal, and now he just wanted to keep it for himself.So he took out his usual trick again, his eyes were filled with tears, the corners of his eyes drooped, and he turned around to face the old emperor with a look of grievance.

"Is it really not good? The small one is not good either? Look, it doesn't even have all its teeth..."

The old emperor frowned. Although he doted on his son very much, he didn't want him to be in danger.

Seeing that his father was hesitant, Li Luosu knew that there was a half chance of being rejected, so he preemptively burst into tears.

"Father, you don't love me anymore! Woowa——"

Dou Da's tears fell one drop after another, and the old emperor hurriedly tried to coax people.

"Here it goes again, you can see that his face is not red when acting."

The little prince's careful thinking can fool others, but not his sisters, especially Li Moli, who can see through his crying scene at a glance.

"It's because of you that he can cry so deeply." Li Qinghe glanced at her.

There was a time when Li Moli took Li Luosu to the theater every day. Since then, the little devil's skill in stealing, raping and playing tricks has improved by leaps and bounds. As long as it is what he wants, there is nothing he can't solve with tears.

"Okay, okay, stop crying, my little peony, as long as the father promises you."

The crying stopped immediately.

"Really? Father is the best for Peony!"

Li Luosu smacked the old emperor's face, and the dear old emperor was very happy.

"But you can't take this white tiger back to the East Palace directly. You need to build a tiger garden and put it there, and you have to pick a few animal trainers to watch it..."

"Okay, okay, listen to my father! I'll go back to the East Palace and wait for the white tiger!"

Li Luosu's goal was achieved, and he ran away without a trace.

***

Spring to autumn.

The flowers in Yangzhou are all withered, and after Duanmu Yao came back from school, he helped the master clean the medicine house and receive patients.

"Little master Duanmu is really a good-looking talent. Haven't you engaged yet? Do you want me to introduce you to one? You are satisfied!"

"Sister Xu, don't move around, put your hands down, otherwise the pulse will be inaccurate."

Duanmu Yao calmly pressed Hu Lai's hand, knowing that it was another middle-aged woman who was blind date her daughter under the pretext of seeing a doctor, so she just prescribed a Guyuan prescription and sent her away.

"Hey... why do you think this scene looks so familiar to me?"

Duanmu Songfeng leaned against the door, shaking his head and sighing.In the past ten years, as Duanmu Yao has grown bigger and bigger, the line outside the door to propose marriage has also become longer and longer. The once naive boy has become a tall and handsome young man.Of course, for the past ten years, the scene just now has been staged basically every day.

"It's been ten years, why don't you choose a good girl and marry her quickly, so as to save yourself from being harassed by the neighbors every day."

"It's been ten years, and you still haven't married a good wife. How dare I, Master."

It’s true that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, Duanmu Songfeng gave himself two mouths in his heart, and while checking the medicine cauldron on the fire, he said: "It’s okay if you don’t marry a wife, then at least you go to participate in Qiu Wei? It’s not easy You won the Juren, so you can't waste this spot, right?"

"Needless to say the travel expenses for going to Luo for the exam, life and communication after entering Luo will cost a lot of money. It is a miracle that the medicine house can be opened for so many years, so don't be in debt anymore."

Duanmuyao packed up the silver needles and began to choose vegetables.Duanmu Songfeng sighed and became silent for a moment.

"Who said you can't go to Qiu Wei if you don't have money?"

Mei Shiliang pushed the door open, holding a bundle in his hand.

"Here, this is what everyone put together for you."

"What are you doing? I'm not going."

Duanmuyao returned the burden, and Mei Shiliang leaned over to wrap his arms around his shoulders: "I didn't say it was for you, but everyone borrowed it from you. Just wait for your high school champion to return."

"Who said that I will definitely win the first prize?" Duanmu Yao glanced at him, feeling a headache.

"If you can't win, no one will win. And if you don't go, Tianjian and the others said, we won't go this year either."

When Duanmuyao thought of Bai Zhu's expression when he said this, his head hurt even more.

"You go, you go, I might be able to marry a wife." Duanmu Songfeng immediately picked up the conversation with a proud face.

So ten days later, Duanmu Yao was put on the passenger ship to Luojing by Mei Shiliang and others.

Walking along the canal, the scenery on both sides of the river is different.

Rongguo Luojing is the largest metropolis in the world, bustling and noisy, full of luxury and luxury.Juzi from all over the country gather here every autumn equinox to take part in the provincial examination. Because it is held in autumn, it is also called Qiuwei.

Duanmuyao was sitting in the examination room of the Gongyuan in the capital city at this time, and he was full of autumn colors, but he had no time to take care of it, he just bowed his head and wrote vigorously.

One month later, the Provincial Examination Rankings were released, and Duanmu Yao, Mei Shiliang, Qu Changlan, and Tao Youran were all ranked as Jinshi, and Baizhuwu was ranked as Jinshi.

"Look, it's going well!"

In the evening, everyone had a feast in the restaurant. Mei Shiliang was very happy and kept pouring wine for Duanmu Yao.

Qu Changlan raised his glass and said, "Congratulations to the five of us who won the first place. We can also pass the imperial examination in a month's time!"

"Zihui is right! Yu Rong, it's up to you when the time comes!"

Seeing that everyone was drunk and didn't want to spoil the fun, Duanmu Yao had no choice but to agree to them one by one.

A month later, the palace examination began.
