The courtyard where the Xinglin candidates stayed was the Jade Tea Palace in the northeast corner of the Dayao Palace.

This place is the closest to the residence of the Son of Heaven, and I heard the imperial doctor who won the title in the last session say that His Majesty likes to go to the outside of the Jade Tea Palace whenever he has time to see the style of the new Xinglin candidates.

As soon as these words came out, the candidates of Xinglin had no intention of admiring the charming scenery in the palace, and they all returned to the house, shook their heads, and seriously studied the medical books, so that the emperor could see his most energetic and diligent side.

The Jade Tea Palace was originally for the Xinglin candidates who take the palace exam every year to live, and there are many rooms here, and each candidate has a private room. The two rows of courtyards are facing each other, leaving a spacious open space in the middle.

Every morning, there will be many candidates in this courtyard to evacuate their muscles and bones, and play tricks. The interest came, and the two of them also came to dismantle a few Tai Chi.

In the four corners of the two rows of courtyards of the Jade Tea Palace, there is a bathhouse specially designed for Xinglin candidates. One women's bathhouse, three men's bathhouses. Don't say that Dayao Palace favors one over the other, it is purely because the number of female candidates is too small.

In order to take care of this batch of candidates, the palace opened another small kitchen, with the Golden Knife Imperial Chef in charge of the cooking. Fully consider the construction of Imperial Physician Sun, who is in charge of the palace's nutritious diet, and arrange three meals reasonably, so that these candidates can meet the next crucial palace examination with the healthiest physique and mental state.

The treatment of this group of Xinglin candidates is better than that of most of the concubines and beauties in the palace, and without exception, all the candidates feel a little fluttery.

Many people think that they are really on the right path to take this path. It doesn't matter if he's finally awarded the title or not. If you can enjoy it like this once in your life, and be served by this cow man in the palace once, it's worth it!

And some people. It is also to turn excitement into motivation. Once this kind of day is enjoyed, no one wants to give it up. No matter how good the days outside are, how can they compare to the palace. To have face, to have identity, to eat and drink without worry, to study medicine wholeheartedly, what could be better than here?

No matter what kind of thoughts each person has. The initial excitement gradually faded with the passage of time, and turned into pressure as the temple exam approached.

There are those who have a relationship with the candidates, and they run around the palace frequently these days. Secretly go out every day and come back quietly, no one pokes it, but they know each other in their hearts.

It doesn't matter. In addition to burying your head in hard work. It is to visit the seniors of the previous session again and again, build a good relationship with them, ask for tips on the temple test, and so on.

Lu Mansheng became the most idle one.

The palace test is approaching, and instead of flying around like a headless fly, it is better to rest and go into battle easily.

Based on her observations these days, she has found a good place to relax and blow the wind.

In the backyard of the Jade Tea Palace, there is a tall apricot tree. Climb thick branches. You can climb trees very easily. Between the three branches, one can easily lie there. Watching the scenery of most of the palace, be a little careful so that you don't have to worry about falling.

At this time, the apricot trees, the leaves are about to fall off, and the red ~ branches are shaking in the breeze, dancing in the wind. Lu Mansheng loves to be quiet, and in this place, no one disturbs her.

On this day, she climbed the apricot tree as usual, leaned on the tree she often leaned on, and looked directly at Kong Xuanmen, the main gate of the Dayao Palace.

Several fast horses galloped out of the palace, and the guards in front of the gate automatically let them go, not daring to stop them. The man stopped his horse, gave a few words to the guard, threw a bag of things hanging from his saddle to the guard, and with a flick of his whip, the horse raised its hooves and galloped out of the palace.

After the man left, the guard threw the saber to the brother beside him, and carefully trotted in the direction of the Jade Tea Palace.

The distance was very far, and the man was riding on horseback again, and he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but Lu Mansheng could still tell that the person on the horse was Da Yao's Tai Gong Xun with the familiar movements of the man.

The little guards soon came to the Jade Tea Palace, after all, the candidates were new to the palace, and when they saw the palace guards, they were all very well-behaved and polite.

The little guard looked like a clever man, and he didn't stay long, only saying that Dr. Lu accidentally dropped something when he got off the car at Kong Xuanmen and sent it to her.

Xiang left led the man to Lu Mansheng's room, put his things down, and sent the little guard away.

"Oh, it just dropped something." Many of them shook their heads and went back to their rooms. Only Yang Jin stared at Lu Mansheng's room, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lu Mansheng slept on the apricot tree, blew the wind for a while, and only returned to his room after the sun had gone down.

She saw the little guard coming towards the Jade Ming Palace, and she also knew that the little guard was coming to her, but she was not in a hurry to come down, and she would always know what was going on.

Picking up the package on the table, it was a fox fur, white soft fur, blue Ayaroneri, elegant and exquisite, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance.

Although she had saved a little money, she was reluctant to buy it.

At this time, Dayao is the coldest time. Before entering the palace, sister-in-law Xu specially accompanied Lu Mansheng and bought a few winter clothes. Those winter coats were of good quality and could withstand the cold when worn on the body, but they were as heavy as carrying a small mountain and were tied tightly.

Lu Mansheng didn't like it, and often took it off, preferring to be colder than the feeling of being bound.

And this fox fur is very light to hold in the hand, but it is full of warmth. Her stiff fingers, wrapped in the fox fur, did not take long to regain temperature.

There is also a note in the fox fur, and on the note is the big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing:

It's cold, remember to dress. Also, the envoy has arrived, be smart, and be better.

The familiar and casual tone made Lu Mansheng frown imperceptibly. She didn't remember how good the relationship between the two was, this person was too lenient.

However, Lu Mansheng looked at the fox fur on the table, still trembled, and tried it on his body.

The size is just right, whether it is the shoulder fit, or the length is just as good as measuring the size of the passing man.

It can only be said that His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes are too poisonous, and he can know the various sizes of Lu Mansheng at a glance.

"I'll give him the money another day." Lu Mansheng said to himself.

And behind the pillars outside the door, Yang Jin will look at the bottom of his eyes.

Fox Qiu or something, she didn't care about it yet, what she cared about was the note.

What exactly is written on the note, is it the test question of this temple exam, or is it some other useful news?

Thinking of those people who asked for people everywhere to ask for the tricks of the palace test, Yang Jin couldn't help but sneer.

It's really stupid, the person with a really hard relationship is here, and with the help of the crown prince of the dynasty, it's no wonder that she can go all the way smoothly and out of the limelight.
