Chapter 316 Palace Examination

It took a long time for Pei Yi to recover from the shock, and asked in disbelief: "Didn't Your Highness say before that you can't accept broken sleeves?"

After Huo Yuan confessed impulsively, his handsome face flushed red.

He bit the bullet and blushed, and said awkwardly: "Who told you that you are a broken sleeve? Otherwise, can I accept the broken sleeve? You didn't provoke me like this."

Pei Yi felt so wronged.

All this is too fantasy, right?

But after all, the hair happened, if she asked Huo Yuan why he likes her now, it would be too hypocritical.

Pei Yi was silent for a while tactically, and tried to decline in a way that did not hurt the other party's self-esteem: "Kubira, the situation in Kyoto is changing now, and there are uprisings happening in various places in Dazhou."

"I think it's too early to talk about feelings at this time."

"What's more, you are determined to rule the world, so you should be more cautious about emotional matters."

The implication of the words: You who want to be an emperor, what are you thinking about now? Let's make a good strategic alliance, brother.

However, in Huo Yuan's ears, the meaning became: Kubera, I know we are really happy with each other.

But the current situation is turbulent and unstable, and it's really not time for us to talk freely.

We both might as well keep this thought in our hearts for the time being.

When you really ascend to the seat of Ninety-five Supreme Beings, it won't be too late for us to talk about our relationship.

At that time, we have power in our hands, and no one can stop us from being together. That is the real relationship, and I really like it.

A warm current flowed through Huo Yuan's heart.

Sanskrit really likes him to the bottom of his heart.

He is obviously such a lustful and romantic person, but now he thinks about the problem from his perspective, for fear that he will be indulging in feelings for a while and delay the business.

Huo Yuan stared deeply at the person in front of him, and said solemnly: "Fanyin, I have written down what you said."

Pei Yi felt relieved secretly.

She thought to herself that these bosses are really unusual. After each confession was rejected, they all looked calm and calm, as expected of people who want to do big things.

"Just write it down." Pei Yi said with a relaxed mood, "We are still good brothers. I will do my best to help His Highness."

Huo Yuan felt warm in his heart, nodded with a smile and said: "Well, good brother." They are the best brothers.

The two chatted for a while.

Huo Yuan said a few words to wish Pei Yi success in the examination room, then reluctantly got up and said goodbye.

After returning to his palace bedroom, Huo Yuan tossed and turned sleeplessly, his heart was so happy.

He found that he really liked Sanskrit, and he liked it more and more.

He kissed the Sanskrit sound today, he was really moved from the heart, and he couldn't help it.

Huo Yuan's cheeks were burning hot, and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

It's really like Sanskrit said, it's really not suitable to talk about feelings now.

He found that as long as he thought of Sanskrit, he couldn't think about other things.

Love is really too addictive, and it is too easy to confuse people's minds.

He should now devote himself to the great cause.

When I really rule the world, I will be in power, and it will not be too late to talk about love with Sanskrit.

Thinking like this, Huo Yuan gradually fell into a sweet dreamland.

With a bright moon and no stars, it is destined to be a dream-making night.

A few days later, Chun Wei is approaching.

Pei Yi counted her pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the study to ensure that there would be no problems with the answering tools.

Helian Linyu squatted on the ground to feed the Shih Tzu dog.

As a result, he smelled the dog food so delicious that he even fed it to the Shih Tzu dog while eating it himself.

Pei Yi saw this situation as soon as she turned her head, and couldn't help being funny and helpless.

She reminded: "Du Zizhang, there are cakes on the table, don't compete with Ah Heng for food."

He Lian Linyu was not ashamed but proud, and even ran up to her, holding the dog food in both hands and said: "Master, this is really delicious, why don't you try it too?"

Pei Yi couldn't laugh or cry, she waved her hands and refused: "This is for Ah Heng—it's for dogs, don't follow me."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Pei Yi looked up, and saw Qisha standing at the door.

"Sanlang, it's time for lunch." Qisha reminded.

Pei Yi was inexplicably guilty, and ordered: "Let someone bring the food to the study."

After saying this, she turned her head to Helian Linyu and said, "Du Zizhang, go down."

Helian Linyu nodded in response, and left with a bowl of dog food.

Qisha stood at the door without moving. After a moment of silence, he walked into the room.

After finishing those words, Pei Yi turned around and tidied up the desk, without noticing that the man was already approaching her.

As a result, when she turned around, she found Qi Kill had arrived in front of her at some point.

She almost hit Qisha's chest.

"Why are you here?" Pei Yi patted her chest to suppress her shock, she was really frightened.

Qisha looked down at his sweetheart, and asked with some complaints: "Is Saburo planning to eat alone again?"

Pei Yi bypassed the person in front of her and sat on the chair behind the desk.

She nodded with a seemingly calm smile and said: "Yes. The spring is coming soon, I stay alone, and I can study hard without distraction."

Qisha was silent for a while, and couldn't help asking what was on his mind: "Isn't Sanlang hiding from me on purpose?"

Pei Yi's face froze, and she smiled awkwardly: "How is this possible?"

Of course, nothing is impossible.

What should she say, after being confessed by Huo Yuan on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, she had an extremely unspeakable dream.

She dreamed that Huo Yuan was fighting with her.

Amidst the chaos, Huo Yuan cut her clothes open with a knife, and the chest cloth was torn open.

Her daughter's body was exposed like this.

Dreams are always bizarre, even without logic.

The scene changed in the next moment, Qi Sha was also in the room for some reason.

Then, Huo Yuan teamed up with Qisha, half coercing and half coaxing her to go to Yunyu together.

The whole dream was too shameful.

Pei Yi's cheeks were flushed after waking up, and even seeing Qi Sha or Huo Yuan himself would feel guilty and embarrassed.

It is precisely because of this reason that Pei Yi has been avoiding the Seven Kills intentionally or unintentionally these days.

"Then why doesn't Saburo want to eat with me?" Qi Sha asked very disappointed.

In the past, Saburo always asked him to eat with him, but now he is so alienated from him suddenly, is it because he is tired of him?

Pei Yi naturally didn't understand what the boss was thinking.

But when she heard Qi Sha's low tone, she knew that her actions these days had made this little man sad.

Pei Yi felt deeply guilty.

She embarrassedly found an excuse to appease me: "It's not that I don't want to eat with you, it's just...for better review. If you are by my side...it's easy to distract me with so many people."

Is that so?

Qisha's cheeks gradually turned red, wondering if Saburo is so addicted to him—it has reached the point where Saburo can't concentrate on doing things as long as he is present.

"Then... Saburo, you should review carefully." Qi Sha said a little shyly, "We will have dinner together after the spring is over."

Pei Yi smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Okay."

But after she finished speaking, she realized belatedly: Is it clear that she was arranged by Qi Kill like this? Why does eating with Qisha seem to be a daily must-do?

On the ninth day of February, the spring finally began.

Pei Yi entered the examination room alone.

Chunwei is divided into three sessions, and each test takes three days, which takes a total of nine days.

During this period, candidates are not allowed to leave the examination room, and all eating, drinking, sleeping and answering questions are completed in their own separate cubicles.

When the spring was over, Pei Yi felt that she was going to collapse.

As soon as she walked out of the examination room, Qi Sha, her little guard, came out to support her.

Pei Yi was very uncomfortable, after all, she hadn't washed for nine days.

Although it was the cold early spring, Pei Yi still felt that her whole body was about to rot—especially her hair felt like it was going to be oily.

She felt uncomfortable when she was walking on the road, and always felt that her current image was terrible.

Fortunately, she got into the carriage soon, which prevented her from walking on the street with a big oily head on her head.

Qi Sha has not seen his own Saburo for nine days, and he really thinks very much.

Now, the person who thinks about it day and night is sitting next to him, Qi Sha is inevitably excited.

He really wanted to hold Saburo's hand.

But he remembered that Saburo had told him before that now he should focus on his career and put aside his love for children for the time being.

Qisha clenched his hands slightly on his knees, and could only suppress his urge to touch the other party.

In late March, Chunwei released the list.

Pei Yi is on the list without any suspense.

At the beginning of April, the imperial examination—the last exam of the scientific examination.

The emperor visited the examination room in person, inspected the examination room in person, and participated in marking papers on the spot.

The main judges are the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor is responsible for the final quality control.

Pei Yi writes with divine help.

After handing in the paper, she stayed in her original seat according to the rules and waited for the on-site grading.

There is a huge and luxurious screen in the examination room.

Behind the screen, an extremely gorgeously dressed girl sits on a delicate embroidered pier.

Look at the age of sixteen or seventeen, with a small face the size of a palm.

The skin is smooth and delicate, like the finest suet white jade, with an extremely healthy light pink color, and it seems to have a little luster during the day.

Those eyes are extremely agile, like a deer in the forest, but they also reveal a bit of rebelliousness.

However, although the skin is excellent and the eyes are also excellent, this face is really not exquisite.

The nose cannot be said to be small, the bridge of the nose can be described as collapsed, and the mouth is completely out of touch with the "cherry mouth", and the lips are slightly thicker.

However, looking at the very unremarkable facial features separately in this way, after gathering together in one face like this, it actually reveals an indescribable harmony.

With such a face, you can't say she is exquisite, but she is indeed beautiful, with a clumsy air.

This girl is the most beloved daughter of the Holy Majesty—Princess Leping.

Princess Leping looks innocent and ignorant of the world, but her face always reveals a bit of rebellion that cannot be concealed, and there seems to be a bit of unknown cruelty hidden in the depths of her eyes.

At this moment, Princess Leping is looking at all the boys in the examination room through the gap between the screens.

She told her father earlier that she would choose her son-in-law among the Jinshi this year.

Father agreed to her, and set up such a screen in the examination room, so that she could arrive at the examination room ahead of schedule and quietly hide behind to watch the examinees in the hall.

After wandering around the entire examination room, his eyes fell on a gentleman.

The gentleman has a handsome appearance, with snowy skin, and seems to be more delicate and juicy than a woman.

This is quite in line with Princess Leping's husband-in-law standard.

The interest in Princess Leping's eyes became more and more intense, and she kept staring at that gentleman without turning her eyes away.

Although she actually has no intention of getting married, it would be fine if she brought such a gentleman into her mansion.

Princess Leping pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, and joked to a beautiful gentleman beside her in a low voice: "Do you think that gentleman who writes like a good-for-nothing beauty?"

The handsome gentleman standing beside her is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is the face raised by Princess Leping in the mansion.

Now that he heard what the princess said, how could he dare to say anything.

You must know that every gentleman in the palace today will not fail the ranking.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Science Examination, any man who can enter the palace examination will not fail in the final round of the palace examination, and will only be re-ranked under the supervision of the emperor.

In other words, every gentleman is a talented person.

As a face-to-face leader, how dare he say anything bad to the future pillars of the country in front of him?

The princess can despise her as a waste beauty, but he dare not.

Fortunately, Princess Leping just mocked that sentence casually, and didn't really want her face to respond.

Seeing that Princess Leping didn't press on, she was relieved.

Their princess's temper is really not good.

They are arrogant on weekdays. If their servants didn't treat the princess well, it would be easy for the princess to beat and scold her. It is very likely that the princess will directly feed people to dogs or something like that.

There is no exaggeration in these words.

The Princess Mansion still keeps all kinds of raptors, and those birds will have new food every once in a while—living people, those who the princess made a mistake, or those who annoyed the princess.

When mentioning such horrible things, the servants of the Princess Mansion all turned pale when they mentioned it.

What's more, the most frightening thing is that the current emperor is actually very aware of Princess Leping's temperament, but he never stops her from being disciplined.

Over the years, Princess Leping's character has become more and more wild and excessive, and she has become more and more harsh on the servants in the mansion.

To be honest, all the servants in the princess' mansion feel that they are not viewed as a person by the princess, and they all feel that their lives are worse than pigs and dogs.

Right now, this noodle is "fortunate" to be chosen by Princess Leping to accompany him, and he really dare not say a word.

He looked at the gentleman whom Princess Leping had taken a liking to, and felt a bit of indescribable subtle sympathy in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't want any gentleman present to be favored by Princess Leping—it would be too miserable.

On the other side, Pei Yi always felt that someone was watching her.

But she is in the examination room after all, so it is not good to look left and right to find the source of her gaze, otherwise it will be bad if the examiner thinks she is cheating.

After several hours, the emperor personally announced the list of the top three: "No. 1 scholar, Xue Zhongda; No. 2: Ji Shujun: Tanhua, Pei Yi."

When Pei Yi heard the ranking, she thought she had heard it wrong.

Although she had previously become a person with good poetry and singing skills with the help of the system.

However, her literary level can only be said to have reached the level of being able to pass the scientific examination to be a Jinshi, and it is not enough to directly enter the third class.

"Hasn't the host noticed that his Poetry and Song Fu skills have improved at all?" The system smiled and reminded, "Previously, the system rewarded the host to randomly strengthen an attribute—this is exactly the Poetry and Song Fu skills."

Pei Yi suddenly realized, secretly thinking that this small system is really powerful.

In the main hall, the emperor said some encouraging words again, to the effect that every candidate present is a pillar of the Great Zhou, especially the top three candidates are the future pillars of the Great Zhou.

Although these words were very watery, they moved a group of candidates to tears.

The emperor left after speaking these words of encouragement.

Afterwards, the examiners made a brief summary and outlook, and then informed that they could leave the examination room.

Pei Yi was waiting for these words, packed up her things, turned around and walked out of the hall quickly.

Behind the screen.

Princess Leping looked at Pei Yi's graceful leaving figure, and the smile on her lips deepened.

She left from the screen through the trail, and met the old emperor who had just left early.

"Is there a man who looks good to Yi Gu today?" The old emperor asked with a loving smile.

Princess Leping, "Leping" is just a title, her name is "Huo Yigu", a name that sounds neither male nor female and has an indescribably strange feeling.

"I have my eyes on one." Princess Leping held her father's arm and said with a smile, "This year's Tanhua Lang looks handsome, but he deserves the word 'Tanhua'."

Over the years, "Tan Hua Lang" is the one with the best appearance among the top three.

Hearing what his precious daughter said, the old emperor's smile gradually froze on his face, and he said unhappily: "Yi Gu, is he in love with Pei Jiasanlang? Then Pei Jiasanlang likes Longyang and has no interest in girls. of."

The point is that he had previously encouraged the third child to hook up with Pei Sanlang, and it seems that the results are not bad so far.

Under such circumstances, how could he let his precious daughter marry Pei Jiasanlang, who is so masculine? Isn't this a sheep into a tiger's mouth?

"Not interested in women?" Princess Leping heard her father's words, Fan Fei didn't feel depressed or shrink back, but a hint of interest appeared on her face.

"Yes." The old emperor nodded calmly.

He didn't hide it from his daughter, and explained in a very serious and low voice: "Pei Sanlang and your third brother have a fierce fight, and the two have already made an alliance."

The implication of the words: These two big men have already rolled in bed countless times, so you should not get involved in their Longyang love.

Who would have thought that after hearing these words, the interest on Princess Leping's face became more and more intense.

The corner of her lips curved into a sneer, and she asked meaningfully, "Third Brother?"

"That's right." The old emperor's expression was too complicated.

He really couldn't accept that his daughter would fall in love with something like Saburo Pei.

The old emperor thought about it for a while, and continued to explain dissatisfiedly: "Then Pei Sanlang is extremely romantic. The first time I asked him to go up to the palace for questioning, he spoke very frivolously, and actually molested your third brother in front of me. A person like Pei Sanlang is really unbearable to be a good match for."

Princess Leping's smile deepened when she heard this.

Regarding what her father said, she was noncommittal, she seemed to have listened to it, but she didn't seem to listen to it at all.

After asking for an hour, the emperor personally announced the top three list: "No. 1 scholar, Xue Zhongda; No. 2: Ji Shujun: Tanhua, Pei Yi."
