Thinking of the day when he was supposed to accompany him today, the saint took the queen and other four concubines to play outside the palace, and he didn't tell himself, Sun Mei was a little sad.

"Niangniang, you better rest, and wait for Your Majesty to come back to the palace to see Niangniang." The palace maid comforted.

These palace maids and those eunuchs are actually the most sensitive to the affairs of the harem, because whether their mothers are favored or not is also related to their status in the harem.

In the past, when Sun Mei was favored, as Concubine Li, she could compete with Liu Chenyan, the queen, in the harem.

But now Concubine Li has been snubbed by the saint, and their status as the palace maids and eunuchs in Concubine Li's palace is even inferior to the palace maids and eunuchs in the favored Nine Concubines Palace.

They also want to be favored by the mothers they serve, but this is not something they can decide.

"It is estimated that the saint has long forgotten in his heart that there is still this concubine of this palace." Sun Mei laughed at herself.

Just when Sun Mei gave up and continued to wait, a little eunuch ran in in a panic, and after entering the dormitory, he fell down, but when he got up, he continued to run in front of Sun Mei and salute.

"Li... Concubine Li... Mother, the saint is coming, the saint is coming! ”

"What?"

An incredible expression flashed on Sun Mei's face, and then she became excited and prepared to go to meet her.

"Mother, you haven't dressed up yet!"

"Yes, Hongu forgot. Come on, hurry up and show this palace, where do you need to add some makeup... ”

For a while, not only Sun Mei, but also the palace maids and eunuchs in the entire dormitory were a little in a hurry, after all, the sudden arrival of the Holy Lord caught them off guard.

"Xiaoqing, can you look at the makeup of this palace?"

"The mother is as beautiful as a flower, and this makeup is just the icing on the cake."

"The saint has arrived!"

Just when Sun Mei wanted to touch up her makeup, there was a shout outside, and she quickly got up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Before she could reach the door of the main hall, she saw Li Ye coming to the dormitory in civilian clothes, and immediately bent down and saluted, "The concubine sees Your Majesty." ”

"Mei'er, get up!"

Hearing this title, Sun Mei's eyes moistened, how long has this title not appeared in her ears?

。。。。。。

Perhaps because of his soft-heartedness, Li Ye finally forgave Sun Mei, but he did not forget to warn the other party not to interfere in the government in the future.

Sun Mei's experience also made some people in the harem with other thoughts temporarily stop fighting, and there was no situation of the harem interfering in politics for a long time later.

The news that Sun Mei had regained her favor was only circulating in the harem, and as for the outer city of Chang'an outside the imperial city, she was more concerned about the imperial examination and the polo match later.

The five-year imperial examination in Qianning was somewhat different from the four-year examination in Qianning, because of the reform of the Dali Temple by the imperial court, and the plan to set up a three-level Dali Academy had begun to be promoted in Jingzhaofu and Guannei Dao.

Among them, there is a great demand for officials who understand the "Tang Law", so this year, the Ming Law Department recruited 90 people at once, 40 people were recruited in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Medicine Department dropped to 25 people.

This year, a total of 350 people were enrolled in the imperial examination, 45 were enrolled in Jinshi, 80 in the Ming Classics, and 245 in other subjects.

This year, there has been a large increase in Jinshike's Mingjing and Mingfa courses, but the biggest competition is still Jinshike.

The Jinshi Department recruited 45 people, but the number of applicants increased to more than 9,000.

According to the proportion, only one Jinshi can be admitted out of 200 people.

Of course, the number of students in other subjects is also higher than last year, and only more than 5,000 people participated in the scientific examination in the first year of Qianning, but in the fifth year of Qianning, it has skyrocketed to more than 20,000.

This is also related to the fact that there are more and more places under the actual control of the imperial court, and the number of candidates in Jiangnan, Lingnan and other places has increased significantly this year.

The reason behind the fact that the imperial court actually controlled more places was the strength of the imperial court, which made many scholars see the hope of the revival of the Tang Dynasty, and more and more people devoted themselves to the imperial examination, rather than serving the local feudal towns.

The increase in the number of people participating in the scientific examination has also put a lot of pressure on the Ministry of Rites, after all, both the invigilation and the layout of the examination room are a problem.

Compared with the previous two years, this year's imperial examination rules are also more perfect, with each examination lasting one day and three exams per subject.

Although this made many people who participated in the scientific expedition a little uncomfortable, the scientific expedition was still held as scheduled.

"Brother Du, how did you do in the exam? I think it's Jinshi hopeful. ”

Coming out of the examination room and seeing Du Xunhe with a smile on his face, Liu Can arched his hand to congratulate him in advance.

"Isn't it the same with Brother Liu Xian?" Du Xunhe smiled, but there was also a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"Liu doesn't dare to compare with Brother Du."

Liu Can also noticed the disdain in Du Xunhe's words, but he did not show dissatisfaction, but responded enthusiastically.

The reason why Du Xunhe disdained him was mainly because the other party took the Jinshi test, while he took the Ming History test.

Liu Can also wants to be admitted to the Jinshi, but he is not a fledgling young man after all, and he knows where his shortcomings are.

Let him write poems and articles on current affairs, and the current affairs policy is better, but his poetry is very poor.

If you can't pass one exam, you won't be able to get in, after all, the competition is so big.

So he chose to take the relatively unpopular Ming History Subject.

The Ming History Section only recruits 15 people this year, and according to the practice of previous years, the top of the Ming History Section is only a minor official on the eighth grade, so naturally there is no way to follow up with the Shike.

In the past, the two may still be able to get along in harmony, but as Du Xunhe became more and more sure about the Jinshi in the examination, he naturally deliberately alienated Liu Can.

Because, those who lift in the Jinshi department look down on people in other subjects.

Seeing that Liu Can's attitude was very low, the vanity in Du Xunhe's heart was also satisfied.

Compared with the self-confidence of the two, the others are some happy and some sad.

Of course, the final result is the release of the list in a month, and if you are happy too early now, it is easy to be slapped in the face.

Wei Zhuang is not young, not as fast as others, and there are not many people who are familiar with him, some of them are teachers or students of Chang'an Academy.

He hadn't gone far before Wei Zhuang saw a luxurious carriage waiting for him at the intersection, and he hurriedly walked over.

"This king is here to congratulate Elder Wei first, with Elder Wei's talent, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the Jinshi exam." King Ji smiled and invited Wei Zhuang to get into the carriage.

"Your Highness has an overreputation. If the imperial examination was so good, it would not have been passed for so many years. Wei Zhuang hurriedly said.

"Wei Lao is modest, this king has prepared a banquet for Wei Lao in the mansion, and he is waiting for Wei Lao."

"Your Highness is polite, I'm just a white coat here, and I can't afford to be so loved by Your Highness." Wei Zhuang also didn't know what this King Ji thought, but if he refused directly, he was afraid of offending this prince.

"Deserve it! Well deserved! Wei Lao's talent, but even the saint praised it. ”

Wei Zhuang didn't want to worry about this with King Ji, and opened the curtain next to him to find that there were suddenly a lot of outsiders on the streets of Chang'an, but they were obviously not scholars, but looked like martial artists.

"Your Highness, why is there suddenly so many outsiders in this Chang'an? These people must have come from military backgrounds. ”
