Two days later.

Xia Jin officially transferred Gu Qi from the smoky place in the back kitchen to her own Di Hua Xuan, and promoted her to the second-class maid of Di Hua Xuan.

Everyone else looked at her with envy, only she knew that this qiē was just for the sake of being unaware.

Because what they are going to do next, if they don't get it right, it will kill someone, Gu Qi feels that such a promotion is nothing compared to the price she paid and the risks she took.

"How about it, is there any way to talk about it and listen to me?" Xia Jin couldn't wait to summon her over, and couldn't wait to ask out loud, tomorrow is the day to recruit a horse for Nanzhao Kingdom, if you don't want to take some countermeasures, it will be over.

Gu Qi looked at Xia Jin who was on fire, and rolled his eyes for no reason: "Young Master Jin, why don't you tell me the content that you will take the test in the next few days, otherwise how can I help you find a way?" ”

Yes, he was in a hurry to forget this crucial point.

Xia Jin slapped his thigh and said: "Let me tell you, this test is said to be divided into three sessions, the first one is the literary exam, which is written by the bachelor of Hanlin Academy; the second is the martial arts test, which is presided over by the Ministry of War; As for the content of the third scene, it is not clear, but it is known that this third scene was written by the princess herself. ”

"Then young master, you just handed in the blank paper in the first literary exam." Gu Qi replied without thinking about it.

But in exchange for Xia Jin's eyes, he knocked on her forehead and said: "You are stupid, I told you that this test is the Prime Minister, that is, my father has to participate in this young master, if I really hand in the white paper, do you think my father will spare me?" ”

"Besides," Xia Jin shook his head back and put on a posture that he thought was extremely handsome: "Young Master Ben is also one of the best talents in Fengjing, and the object of countless flower season girls' secret promises, how can he just hand over the blank scroll and break the girls' hearts?" ”

"What do you want to do, young master?"

Gu Qi looked at the ceiling speechlessly, which tendon was wrong at the beginning, he had to continue the work of Lao Shizi, this Xia Jin can't do this, he can't do that, it's even more difficult to serve than the emperor.

Xia Jin smiled and hooked her hand, Gu Qi hesitated and took a step forward, Xia Jin thought she was too far away from her, waved her long arm, hugged her under her shoulder, and said kindly: "Miss Shen, where has your intelligence gone, if you want to come, of course, you want to be the person who wants to do it without knowing it, so that the young master and I can get out openly!" ”

Gu Qi took a small step away from Xia Jin's side in disgust, and said, "The young master said it earlier, if you say this, Qiqi will understand it very well, isn't it that this person can't see that we are cheating, it's not difficult." ”

"Yo, now you understand, then tell me, what are you going to do?"

Gu Qi held his chin in his hand, thought for a while, and thought about Xia Jin and said, "You come here with your ears." ”

……

……

After coming to Fengjing for so long, Gu Qi has never seen what the Beichen Palace looks like, this time she entrusted Xia Jin's blessing, in order to help him cope with the test, she pretended to be Xia Jin's personal should be able to have a glimpse of the palace, which was also an eye-opener.

This Beichen Palace is located on the central axis of the entire Fengjing City, with mountains and rivers in front and back, and it is an excellent place for feng shui.

The carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion entered through the west gate of the palace with the procession into the palace, and as soon as they arrived there, a pre-arranged palace attendant stepped forward and led them to the Xuanmuro Hall, where the cultural examination was held.

Along the way, because the atmosphere was too formal, Gu Qi, who wanted to take the opportunity to visit the palace, didn't even dare to look up, and it wasn't until he arrived at the Xuanshu Hall that he had the opportunity to look at it with the corner of his eye.

Xia Jin's popularity is not bad, not long after he came in, a few young people who are also the children of powerful people surrounded him and talked to him for a while.

Gu Qi didn't dare to listen carefully, but there were still a few words that penetrated into her ears, and she was confused about what "prince", "Nanzhao", "concubine" or something.

When these people finished chatting and dispersed, Gu Qi stepped forward and asked softly, "Is the prince going to participate today?" ”

Regarding the matter of the prince of Beichen, the **** had already learned a little when he was listening to the book in the teahouse, no matter what the qualifications of the prince of Beichen were, just his life experience, he couldn't help but change her bitter tears.

When she heard that the prince might come over today, the fire of gossip ignited in her heart, and she really wanted to see what this prince looked like.

Xia Jin looked at Gu Qi, who was dressed as a man, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you want to see the prince?" ”

"What, can't you?" Gu Qi glanced at her without a trace and said, "I just want to see what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks like." ”

"He? It's not just one nose and two eyes. Xia Jin blinked her eyes and whispered to Gu Qi: "By the way, whether your method will succeed or not, don't work for a while, let them see Young Master Ben's jokes, Young Master Ben can't afford to lose that person." ”

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Gu Qi cheered up Xia Jin, but she didn't see Jun Yu who suddenly came in.

Jun Yu saw the two of them in the crowd at a glance, not because of how outstanding their temperament was, but because the feeling on these two people really didn't match the tense or solemn atmosphere around them, so at a glance, he found them.

When he walked over, the two were still chatting eagerly, until they found that the atmosphere around them was suddenly a little quiet, and they found the little prince behind him.

"Lord Wang." Gu Qi bowed to Jun Yu, and then retreated behind Xia Jin very well.

Today's Jun Yu Boguan jade belt, wearing a colorful embroidered gold moire python robe, with a purple gold inlaid jade crown, more and more lined his eyebrows like ink, sideburns like a knife, his eyes are powerful, and his body is extravagant.

However, Jun Yu only glanced at her, chatted casually with Xia Jin, and then turned around to greet the others in the Xuan Room Palace.

Today is the home of their Nanzhao, and as the supreme representative of Nanzhao, he should greet others on behalf of Nanzhao.

Gu Qi sighed, fortunately Jun Yu didn't say anything more to them, otherwise she really didn't know how to say it, it would be better if she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but this is the Xuan Room Hall of the Beichen Imperial Family, countless pairs of eyes are looking at them, and their every move may become a hot spot.

The sand in the hourglass in the Xuanshu Hall was passing little by little, and after waiting for about half an hour, I finally saw a scholar from the Hanlin Academy wearing a navy blue court robe holding a roll of light yellow. The color scroll walked in.

Gu Qi glanced at the people around him, poked Xia Jin, who also bowed his head and saluted, and pointed to the position where the first should have been the prince: "Young master, the prince hasn't come yet." ”

Xia Jin tilted his head, frowned and whispered: "You don't care if he comes or not, as long as the third prince comes." ”

"The third prince, who are the three princes?"

"Oh, it's the one in the front who wears an ink-colored python robe, he is Mu Ronghua, the son of the favorite concubine Ming Guifei today."
