The curtain of the scientific examination was finally officially opened, and Mu Yunqi was also trapped in the examination hall and couldn't get out. Murong Jue sent his own escort team to guard the princess's mansion, for fear that the emperor of Tianfu would come to distract Mu Yunqi. The entire princess's mansion is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and even Situ Leiming goes to the school openly and secretly.

Mu Yun began to bathe and burn incense on the first night, and early the next morning, he got up early to change his clothes, and a set of Princess Huarong's court clothes were worn by her with a powerful bearing, and the ministers no longer dared to underestimate this woman when they saw it.

I saw Mu Yunqi with a solemn face, leading the officials of the examination institute to worship their ancestors and ask for questions, those officials who copied have not left the examination institute since the beginning of the transcription work, and they have not returned home for nearly half a month.

All those related to the scientific examination will be closed in the examination hall until the list is released, and everyone will have suffering.

At the beginning of the exam, firecrackers will be set off to welcome the candidates, and the gate of the examination hall will be closed after everyone enters. Murong Jue took the ministers to watch Mu Yunqi solemnly preside over the scientific examination like an audience, and it was not until the gate of the examination institute was closed that Murong Jue looked at the tall entrance of the examination hall and nodded, and said: "This year's scientific examination really has the meaning of a big exam. ”

The ministers smiled bitterly, asking a woman to toss like this, Your Majesty is still as happy as something, it is really a disaster.

The candidates are in place, but Mu Yunqi went to the main hall to drink tea and wait, this time she is the host, naturally she will not go to the invigilation, until the big list is issued, she may not have contact with the candidates, although she tries her best to avoid suspicion, but she knows that the thoughts of these courtiers are also pedantic, and she can't see her as a woman in charge, and more things should be after the scientific examination.

Mu Yunqi drank tea and closed her eyes to recuperate, she was wondering if there was anything she couldn't consider. At this time, the dean came over and asked, "Your Royal Highness, the exam bell has been ringing, you see that if you are tired, your dormitory has been prepared, you can go and rest." ”

Mu Yunqi closed his eyes and shook his head, "No, this palace is just closing its eyes to recuperate." ”

The dean wanted to leave, but Mu Yunqi suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What does the dean think of this student Luo Tian?" ”

The dean turned around and arched his hand: "Rare talent." ”

"Oh! Why did the dean say this, but he had contact with this student? ”

The courtyard replied seriously: "Princess Qiyu, Luo Tian has some connections with his family, and this time he was able to enter Beijing because of the funding of Weichen, so for him, Weichen still knows about him." ”

"Very good, then how do you know that this palace will help him."

"The princess was assassinated that day, and I saw not only Mo Shi, but also Weichen, but unfortunately Weichen and a literati really couldn't help His Highness."

Mu Yun nodded and waved his hand, and the dean sighed and left.

At noon, except for the invigilator who took turns to eat, the rest of the people ate in a special hall, when Mu Yun arrived, everyone was already seated, and when they saw her come in, they all got up and saluted, Mu Yunqi said "Everyone, please sit" and then sat on the main seat and took the lead in starting the chopsticks.

Murong Jue, the rich man, is really rich, looking at this table of delicacies, the kitchen also specially prepared bird's nest for her, Murong Jue is absolutely too good to say, whether it is out of her feelings for her mother, or for her, she is grateful to Murong Jue from the bottom of her heart.

On the third day of the scientific examination, Mu Yunqi ate and lived with the officials of the examination institute, and everyone's impression of her was much better, except for the bird's nest rewarded by His Majesty, she never did anything special, and she also talked and laughed with everyone. The originally boring and serious examination room doesn't seem to be so boring.

Three days later, the candidates left the examination institute, but they still had to stay behind to mark the papers, the papers were sealed, and it was impossible to see whose answer was it, and the next step was to copy the papers, and then send them to the markers, and the whole examination hall began to get busy.

Mu Yunqi also walked back and forth between transcribing and grading papers every day, and from time to time he would take a few rolls of paper to read.

It was another full ten days, when the exam papers were placed on the big table, Mu Yunqi randomly checked a few exam papers according to the results, but she always felt that something was wrong.

"This is all the volume? How many people take the exam? ”

The dean arched his hand and replied: "Princess Qiyu, there are a total of one hundred and three candidates, and there are one hundred and three answer sheets here. ”

Mu Yunqi asked again: "This palace once saw an examination paper that talked about the balance of officials and business, and this palace felt that it was written with deep meaning, why is there no answer sheet in the top ten." ”

The dean replied: "It may be that this student did not answer other questions well, so it is possible that he did not enter the top ten." ”

Mu Yunqi didn't say anything more, looked at the piles of answer sheets on the table, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know how long it took before she said, "Open it, prepare to release the list." ”

When the scrolls were opened and names appeared on the big list, Mu Yunqi became more and more uneasy.

"These people, no, list the names of one hundred and three candidates to this palace."

When she saw that Luo Tian actually saw fifty people outside, there were thirty-two Chi Muhai, Murong Yan only got twenty-six, Xin Zhiwu was seventy-eighth, Zhou Du was sixtieth, and Li Xuenian was one hundred, Mu Yunqi said angrily: "Take out the papers of Xin Zhiwu, Li Xuenian, Zhou Dui, Chi Muhai, Murong Yan, Luo Tian and the top ten to this palace." ”

The people didn't understand what the princess meant, but they did it anyway. Mu Yunqi left all the examiners and deans behind, and passed them through the sieve one by one.

"Chi Muhai's volume on the balance of government and business, which of you read it."

A young scholar stood up and said, "We've read it." ”

Mu Yunqi asked: "You have also read through his other articles, can you tell me your opinion?" ”

The man didn't say anything in the end, and Mu Yunqi asked him again: "Who else in the top ten is the paper you read." ”

The man looked at it and said, "Fourth, on the rule of inaction." ”

Mu Yunqi took out the two volumes and circulated them to everyone, everyone wiped a cold sweat after reading them, and compared the two volumes separately, it was obvious that Chi Muhai's article was slightly better, but the ranking was more than 20 years behind.

Mu Yunqi held back his anger and pulled out Luo Tian's scroll, comparing his with the first place, even the dean was a little embarrassed.

In the end, Mu Yunqi took out Li Xuenian's paper and compared it with the tenth place, and everyone drooped their heads and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, a small official ran in from outside and said: "Princess Qiyu, the time has come for the list to be released, and the students are already waiting outside the hospital. ”

Mu Yun slapped the table angrily and said, "This is the paper you read, how to publish the list in this palace." ”

Then he said to the little official: "Go, tell the students that the examination institute has made a mistake in the release time, and the results will be released in two days." ”

The little official turned around and went out, Mu Yunqi turned upside down, now how to rearrange the list has become a problem, ten days is in vain, these individuals don't know what they are doing, who gave them such a big courage, and actually made a fuss about the papers, do you really think that she doesn't understand anything, doesn't know anything.

Mu Yunqi turned around and returned to the table, and said in a gloomy tone: "Your actions are really unforgivable. ”

Everyone shuddered when they heard this, and someone immediately knelt down and said: "The princess spares her life, we are also instructed by others, I didn't expect the princess to be able to do everything." ”

Mu Yunqi gritted his teeth and nodded, "Your sins are judged by this palace, and now this palace will give you a chance to make meritorious service and atone for your sins, re-read one hundred and three volumes, and give me a new ranking within two days." You should know what to do this time, and if you want to fool this palace again, you will see you on the execution table when you get out of this door. ”

Everyone was so frightened that they immediately knelt down and said, "Obey the will of the public." ”

Mu Yunqi turned to leave, she gave them a chance, hoping that this time these people would be more aware of current affairs.

Two days later, the big list was issued, the first place in Jinke was Luo Tian, Xin Zhiwu and the five of them all entered the top ten yuan, there was no palace test in Huarong, the big list was the final result, the top ten stayed in Beijing, from the eleventh to the thirtieth will be assigned to the counties and counties to take office.

Murong Jue summoned these thirty students in the palace, and Mu Yunqi accompanied him as the chief examiner. Luo Tian and the others saw Mu Yunqi who was veiled, and no one recognized her when they saw her at this time.

When Luo Tian saw that the princess who saved him was so beautiful, he was also a little moved, but it was a pity that the princess had already married a woman, otherwise he would still be qualified to ask the princess for marriage in Huarong as his golden champion.

Although a few of them didn't see Mu Yunqi's appearance, someone heard her voice, this person was Xin Zhiwu, Xin Zhiwu stepped forward to toast Murong Jue, and after toasting Murong Jue, he came to Mu Yunqi and asked, "I don't know if the princess has Yaxing in the teahouse?" ”

Mu Yunqi glanced up at him, but he didn't expect to be recognized by this guy, so he smiled: "Yes." ”

Xin Zhiwu asked again: "Does the princess return to her parents' house and intend to find a good relationship again?" ”

This guy is bold, Murong Jue glanced at him with some anger, you must know that he has not caught up with Mu Yunqi yet, and he is stunned to rob him.

Mu Yunqi pursed his lips and smiled: "Unintentionally, don't waste your efforts, just serve the country well." ”

Mu Yunqi clearly rejected him, making Murong Jue's heart feel a little at ease, Xin Zhi returned to his seat without hesitation, still looking at the dignified and generous woman on the main seat from time to time, and his question also dispelled Luo Tian's thoughts.

After a dinner, all the students will take up their duties and perform their duties.
