In the sixth year of Hongzhi, the Imperial Examination of the Emperor Chou Branch. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Muer, like three years ago, was allowed to go to Fengtian Hall to observe under Zhu Youji's exception. All the civil and military officials in the audience who will test the Chinese style are all men, but Li Muer, a female official, is also magnificent.

At first glance, there were more than 300 Chinese-style lifters standing in a row, densely packed and wearing the same robes and crown boots. Li Mu'er wanted to see which one was Mao Cheng and which one was Lin Zhi among the crowd, and it really took some effort.

Seeing that they were led by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to stand on the east and west sides of the Danqi, and listened to Zhu Youji's advice, Li Mu'er still didn't find the two.

The palace examination stipulates that only one day will be taken, and no candles will be given. This also follows the old system since ancient times: between the courts, there is a fire ban; The rules of tribute are not allowed to see candles. In this way, the temple is deep and strict, and those who are in the back row of the trial case will be difficult to read because of the darkness, and they will inevitably suffer losses. However, the palace rules are strict, and he can only consider himself unlucky.

Mao Cheng is okay, Li Muer privately hopes that Lin Zhi will be assigned a good position. It's just that I can't see him right now, so I can only wait quietly.

In the process of waiting, Zhu Youzhu went back to the Qianqing Palace, and the queen also sent Deyan to invite him to Kunning Palace for lunch, which shows the long time of the palace test. Candidates are given a bag of palace cakes and prepare their own dry food to satisfy their hunger. There is also tea in front of the hall, and candidates are not allowed to enter and exit, and they can drink it at any time. Rao is like this, if the candidates have already put down the pen, most of them are unwilling to pause halfway, so Li Muer still hasn't seen the two.

After the candidates have finished their countermeasures, they will go to the East Corner Gate to hand in their papers. Li Mu'er thought about it, and when it was about time, she came to the side of the examinee. With Zhu Youzhi's protection, the examinee did not dare to drive her, as long as she did not touch the test paper, it would be no big deal.

The first one to hand in the paper was Mao Cheng. Probably because Li Mu'er was wearing an official uniform, and he was restrained and didn't dare to look up, so he didn't recognize Li Mu'er, the old man. Li Mu'er didn't deliberately greet him, and she was sincerely relieved to see him roll up the neat answers.

The candidates walked out one after another, and it wasn't until the last few that Li Mu'er saw Lin Zhi's figure.

When Lin Zhi saw Li Mu'er, he was startled at first, and then he nodded at her before handing the test paper to the examinee.

It's a little look, I must be embarrassed to let Li Mu'er see it!

Li Mu'er looked at his back as he was taken away by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and felt funny, but when she saw the smooth skin exposed on his neck, her heart sank.

In the panic, she didn't care about any rules, and quickly followed him to catch up with him, and said to the official of the Ministry of Rites: "My lord has worked hard, this is a relative of the lower official, can the lower official personally lead him out?" ”

When the man saw that it was a female bachelor, he naturally agreed to leave.

Lin Zhi looked up at Li Mu'er at this time, and there seemed to be a smile in his expression, "When did I, Lin Zhi, climb such a good relative?" ”

Li Mu'er didn't answer, only stretched out her hand and said, "Please." ”

The two walked side by side, and saw Deyan walking here again. When passing by them, Deyan couldn't help but look at them twice, and Li Mu'er didn't bother to pay attention to him, and lowered his head a little.

Along the way, Li Mu'er walked in a place with many guards, and walked until he reached the gate of the palace, before he stopped abruptly and said indifferently: "You go." ”

Lin Zhi snorted coldly and asked, "It seems that you know?" ”

"Yes, you didn't show any foot this time, but you forgot to draw a red mole on the back of your neck, Morne." Li Mu'er raised the back of her hand and said with a fierce expression.

That's right, Lin Zhi has a red mole on the back of his neck, but he doesn't. Lin Zhi obviously loves to show his talent the most, but he turned over the test paper and handed it in.

He's not Lin Zhi, he's Moen.

"You are really my nemesis, and you have messed with good things again." Morn said as he took a step forward, but changed his tone, "You are really my savior...... I said a long time ago, if you let me go once, you will let me go a second time......"

"No," Li Mu'er stepped back indifferently, looked directly into his eyes and said, "I just don't want to implicate Lin Zhi." I am not you, I will not take advantage of him, I will not use him as a scapegoat, and I will not personally ruin his hope in the face of the opportunity he so longed for and was so difficult to get. ”

She was blaming him for harming Lin Zhi again......

Morn closed his eyes, "Yes, we're not the same. I won't give my brother useless hope. You know that he won't be the top scorer, so why bother to let him stand higher and fall harder? ”

What he said is actually not unreasonable, among the candidates for this year, Li Mu'er is obviously Mao Cheng the most, and she has never thought that Lin Zhi has any talent, so she has never thought about what Lin Zhi's mood will be after falling to Sun Shan.

"When he woke up, he just blamed me for ruining his good deeds. And then he continued to do his dream of being the champion, working hard year after year. If he loses again today, will it really make him uncomfortable......"

Li Muer's understanding of Lin Zhi is naturally far less than that of Mo En. When he said this, Li Mu'er was actually a little moved. At the same time, she was also surprised, Lin Zhi was a little afraid of Mo En, but he didn't seem to resist and hate him. No matter what he did to him, he still regarded him as a disciple and did not hate him.

It's really strange how he can stand this black-bellied junior brother?

Anyway, Li Mu'er couldn't stand it for a moment, she urged again: "This time you didn't do anything, and it was against Lin Zhi's face that I took the risk of letting you go." But it's only three things, and he will see you again in the future, and he will not be spared! ”

She deliberately lowered her voice and fell into Mo En's ears lightly. Mo En hooked the corners of his lips defiantly, and replied more lightly: "Okay." ”

After speaking, he walked quickly to the palace gate, and did not have any intention of making any more trouble. The palace gate separated the two, one in the palace and the other outside the palace, Li Mu'er turned his back to him, unwilling to turn back, so that no one noticed that it was indeed the safest to deal with the matter. But the indulgence of Mo En is even worse, if Zhu Youji knows, I am afraid that he will be scolded again.

Li Mu'er thought like this, and hurriedly quickened her pace to return to the Qianqing Palace. As everyone knows, behind him, Mo En's eyes have never left her, he put away the provocation and confrontation when he was face to face with her, but sighed with emotion, as if he was relieved that she had saved him again and again.

At the end, he turned around, shook his head and smiled, "Silly girl, who said I didn't do anything this time?" ”

The spring air is filled with the sweet smell of flower petals, mixed with the fragrance of fluffy grass, the people outside the Forbidden City have already built smoke in their homes, and the celadon incense burner in the Forbidden City has also spit out cigarettes, the mist spreads, quiet and peaceful.

No one realizes, and no one cares, when the rainy season will come...... (To be continued.) )
