I looked around at everyone and smiled faintly, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Do you think I'm going to the execution ground?" I don't need you to deliver it, otherwise I'll be really nervous, so you can wait for my good news at home. ”

"Bah, ......." The red fox stuck out his tongue for a while listening to my words, and then looked at me with disgust, "Master Bi, you can't say something nice, today is a palace test, don't say unlucky things." ”

"Okay, I said the wrong thing." I looked at the crowd apologetically.

Situ Hong beside me still didn't give up, gently pulled the corner of my clothes, and whispered: "Husband, I'm not at ease, I want to go with you." ”

Looking at her pitiful eyes, I really couldn't bear to refuse her, I nodded slowly, looked at everyone and said, "Just let Situ Hong go with me, you can stay at home." ”

"...... this?" The crowd listened and looked at each other.

Sun Qi looked at me and said with some worry: "I said Bi Ran, this palace exam is not as good as the previous exam, those who can enter the palace exam are the elites of the country, and the legendary Lord Kang will definitely not watch you go to the palace exam, so you are not afraid of danger?" ”

I smiled faintly, "Don't worry, even if Lord Kang stares at us, he won't dare to do anything under the emperor's nose, besides, King Ming won't watch him harm me, right?!" ”

Everyone was silent when they heard my words, but they all looked at Situ Hong on the side, Situ Hong let them look at it like this, and they were suddenly a little at a loss, and I was also a little remorseful. You said I didn't mention anything about King Ming, isn't this adding to my own blockage?!

I glared at everyone, reached out and took Situ Hong's hand, "Let's go, wife, if you don't leave, I'll be late!" ”

"Hmm." Situ Hong didn't realize my eyes, and followed me softly.

In this way, the two of us walked out of the gate of Bifu in the eyes of everyone.

Today's weather is exceptionally good, the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is blowing from time to time, which is very comfortable. I just pulled Situ Hong like this. I walked through the crowd until I reached the gate of the Tribute Temple.

Compared with the previous exams, there are only a few scholars standing outside the gate today, and it seems that there are only about 30 people. Just as I was looking around. At a glance, I saw Chen Bo standing in the crowd.

"Brother Chen......!" I shouted softly.

Chen Bowen came over. As soon as he saw me and Situ Hong, he strode forward, "Oh, it turned out to be Bi Daxia." I knew that Daxia would definitely enter the palace for the test, and Mrs. Zun was also here! As he spoke, he looked at Situ Hong.

Situ Hong didn't speak, and her shy smile was a return gift.

I looked at Chen Bo and said with a smile: "From the beginning, you will call me 'Bi Daxia', from now on you are not allowed to call me Bi Daxia, you see that I don't carry a sword on my back, I am a scholar who is rushing to take the exam, just call me Bi Gongzi in the future!" ”

"Okay, Bi Gongzi!" When Chen Bo heard me say this, he smiled and shouted.

As soon as the three people walked out of the Tribute Academy, they looked around at the scholars present, and then one of them said loudly: "Please stand in line with the people who participated in the temple examination today, and we will lead everyone to participate in the temple examination." ”

As soon as the words fell, all the scholars stood up in unison, and when I saw this, I hurriedly said to Situ Hong: "Wife, you go back first, I will go back after I finish the palace test." ”

"But ...... husband?" Situ Hong frowned slightly and looked at me worriedly.

I smiled slightly, raised my hand and gently touched her head, "Don't worry wife, I'm fine, I don't believe that so many people dare to do anything to me, you go back first, good!" ”

"Uh-huh." Situ Hong listened to my words and nodded.

I smiled at her again, and then I hurriedly ran to stand in line with Chen Bo, and after I stood up, I looked in the direction of Situ Hong, and then I saw Situ Hong turn around and reluctantly walk in the direction of Bifu.

After all the scholars had stood up, the three looked at us, and one of them said aloud, "Follow me, don't look left and right." After saying that, he turned and left, and the scholars were all silent and walked after him.

"Bi Da...... Bi Gongzi, do you know where we are going? As I walked forward, Chen Bo couldn't help but whisper to me.

I raised my head and looked at the person who was leading the way in front of me, thought to myself, looked at Chen Bo and said, "Since we are going to participate in the palace examination, it will naturally lead us to the palace." ”

"Uh-huh, I think so too." Chen Bo nodded approvingly.

I didn't say anything more at the moment, and followed the small group forward, I don't know if the road was deliberately taken by the person who led the way, or if I didn't notice the road I had walked at all, and when the group stopped, I realized that a tall vermilion gate appeared in front of me.

Looking at the city gate in front of me, I thought to myself, and sure enough, I guessed that we were really going to the palace.

The man turned his head to look at us, and said in a loud voice: "When you enter this gate, you will be in the palace, and you must remember that not everyone in the palace can enter, and you must not talk or look around, otherwise you will cause death by yourself." ”

Hearing his words, all the scholars couldn't help but lose their faces, and they were all silent.

The man looked at us again, and then said something to the guard at the door, who looked at us for a moment before letting us go.

Looking at the loyal appearance of the guards guarding the door, I admired the security system in the palace, which would be equivalent to manual scanning in the 21st century!

While I was thinking wildly, the scholars had already entered the gate and followed the man who led the way.

Although I have entered this palace a few times before, but every time I am frightened, either ten in the middle of the night or early in the morning sunrise, I don't have the heart to take a closer look at the palace looks, this time I followed the scholars into the palace, although the person who led the way said not to look around, but we scholars still couldn't help but look at the place we walked with curiosity.

The carved dragon painting wall is magnificent, there are mighty stone lions in front of the door of each side room, at a glance, you can know that the road is all hand-carved, the courtyard is also planted with willow trees, locust trees and some unknown small trees, bursts of floral fragrance come to the nose, but it makes people feel a little pleasant, the road under the feet is paved with bluestone slabs, walking on it only feels stiff, but it is precisely because of this that people feel the dignity and majesty in this palace.

After walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, the man who led the way finally led us into a spacious hall, which looked like it was the size of half a football field, and gave people an indescribable sense of depression and solemnity as soon as they walked in, and there were nearly fifty wooden tables neatly placed in the hall, each of which was not large on the wooden table with objects such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and a large screen was placed at the head, which looked like it was separated from someone, and there were lampposts standing around the hall. At the top of the lamppost are small spherical lanterns, and in each spherical lantern a candle can be faintly seen standing in the center, which can be seen to be lit at night when it is convenient.

"What is this place?" I looked around carefully and couldn't help but ask softly.

"This should be the Guozijian." Chen Bo, who was standing next to me, couldn't help but look around for a while, and then whispered.

"Guozijian?" I turned my head and looked at Chen Bo suspiciously, muttering again.

In fact, for me, a young man who has crossed the 21st century, I can't help but see the words 'Guozijian' in books, and even in those dizzying costume dramas on TV, I often hear it, I know that the Guozijian in the palace is the place where the princes study, and this title is only called before the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect that it would exist in this time and space, and even set up our palace test in this Guozijian.

I looked at Chen Bo and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Could it be that the palace test is held here?" ”

"I can't go wrong." Chen Bo nodded.
