Of course, Yun Xi didn't know that a group of people who had lived in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and would continue to live in Kaifeng for hundreds of years in history, were about to leave their new hometown and go to the northwest because of one of their wills, and he had more important things to do.

On the evening of August 24, Xi Yao was restless walking back and forth in her dormitory, while Yun Xi sat on the side and looked at Wen Yin, who was sitting on the bed and didn't know what to laugh at, and persuaded him: "Xi Yang is only seventeen years old this year, and it is common for him to fail the exam, so you don't have to be restless like this." ”

"I also understand the reason," Xi Yao said: "But husband, the concubine didn't feel anything when she was taking the exam, but the closer it was to the release of the list, the more nervous the concubine became, and she was very nervous when she thought that the list of people who were raised tonight came out." ”

From the 9th to the 17th of August, he participated in three three-day Zhili Township Examinations. This is the first time that Daming has adopted the township examination held in the mode of sub-state capital, although everyone takes the exam together, but according to the state capital where the household registration is located, and the examiner has several 'mobile' places with unlimited household registration.

On the evening of the 17th after the completion of the three examinations, the marking officer began to mark the papers, and under normal circumstances, the marking was completed on the 24th, and the rankings were ranked in the evening of the same day, and the list was made public on the morning of the 25th of the next day, and any candidate was allowed to check the test papers of himself and the middle lifter to prevent fraud.

But Yun Xi saw that Xi Yao was so nervous, so he sent a guard to wait at the place where the papers were read this afternoon, and once the ranking came out, he asked for the list in the name of the emperor and brought it back to Xi Yao to see, no matter whether Xi Yang was in the middle or not, she was at ease. But the result was that Xi Yao, who was relatively normal before eating, became very nervous after listening to Yun Xi's words during the meal, and went around the dormitory after eating, Min'er was very curious to follow behind at first, but after walking for a quarter of an hour, she couldn't stand it anymore, and ran back to her house to play with Siqi and the others.

Yun Xi understands Xi Yao's emotions very well. He was like this in his previous life, he was not nervous during the exam, but he was especially nervous when he was about to learn the results.

But he also regretted it, if he knew this, it would be better not to send someone to wait, and know the result tomorrow according to the normal time.

After Xi Yao turned around for another quarter of an hour, Yun Xi, who really didn't want to see her continue to spin in circles, was just about to speak, when she heard Wang Xi's voice outside: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the list of winners of the Zhili Township Test has come out." While speaking, Wang Xi had already walked in with a piece of fine rice paper folded into several folds.

The little palace maid who was serving in the house immediately took the rice paper from Wang Xi's hand and handed it to Xi Yao, who immediately opened it and looked for her younger brother by name.

Yun Xi glanced at Wang Xi, Wang Xi returned a gesture, and Yun Xi suddenly understood.

After a while, Xi Yao put down the rice paper in her hand and said with a slightly disappointed face: "Xi Yang didn't pass the exam. ”

Yun Xi already knew the result from Wang Xi's gesture just now, and immediately comforted: "This is normal, he is only seventeen years old, he is still very young, he didn't take the exam this year, and he will continue to take the exam next year." ”

Xiyao herself was also mentally prepared, so she quickly eliminated the only little disappointment from her mind and said, "The concubine also knows, and the husband doesn't have to comfort the concubine. ”

"It's the husband, who accompanied the concubine in the dormitory for more than an hour, and the concubine didn't want to go."

"We are husband and wife, you have something on your mind, isn't it normal for your husband to accompany you? Besides, Wen Yin is here. Yun Xi stretched out his hand and pointed at Wen Yin, who was fiddling with the mat on the bed, and then said: "The husband is also looking at Wen Yin, and he hasn't spent more than an hour. ”

Xi Yao pursed her lips and smiled. She has only seen two emperors, and has only been in close contact with Yun Xi, so I don't know if all emperors are the same as Yun Xi, but she thinks it will not be like this according to the records in the history books.

She smiled and said, "Husband, no matter what, the husband has been here with the concubine for more than an hour, and the concubine wants to thank the husband." It's so late today, let's rest in peace. ”

Yun Xi immediately understood what she meant, and immediately asked Wen Yin to be carried back to his bedroom, stepped forward to hug Xi Yao, and pulled her to the bed; Xi Yao didn't make any resistance, but took off the crown of his head and threw it aside as he walked, and followed him to the bedside; The little maid gently blew out the lamp and exited the dormitory.

Early the next morning, Yun Xi and Xi Yao woke up at the same time with each other, Yun Xi smiled, as if he wanted to say something; But Xi Yao immediately stopped what he was about to say, and said softly, "Husband, do you get up now?" ”

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, only to realize that today is the twenty-fifth, one of the rest days of each month, there is no need to go to the court, all the yamen are resting at home except for the people on duty, if he is not willing to approve the recital, he can also rest for a day, but he will take half a day to deal with yesterday's recital or leftover things.

"Rise, husband also get up now." Yun Xi said.

Xi Yao immediately greeted the palace maids. The palace maid, who had been ready for a long time, walked in and cleaned up the traces of last night and dressed the two of them.

Yun Xi accepted the service of the palace maids very calmly naked, put on a household dress, and then went to breakfast with Xi Yao.

During the meal, Yun Xi asked, "Are you going to enter the palace today?" ”

But as soon as he spoke, he felt as if he had something to say to Xi Yao; But now he had forgotten what he was talking about. What am I going to say? He racked his brain.

"Today? Forget it. He must have gone to the gate of the Gongyuan early in the morning to wait for the release of the list, and he would be a little disappointed to see that he did not win the promotion, but he would not be disappointed immediately, because the concubine's father had already decided that no matter whether he was selected or not, he would tell him today that he had already booked to marry next month, so that he would not have time to think about the township examination. Xi Yao smiled.

Yun Xi also smiled, but did not speak.

Xi Yao continued: "But today, the concubine wants to let the sister-in-law enter the palace to see her. The eldest brother has already set off to Nanyang last month to prepare for the war with Annan, and the sister-in-law is at home alone, although there are several little nephews and little nieces, but the eldest niece Dai Wen is now also studying in the girls' school, and the sister-in-law is ...... at home alone."

Yun Xi was sitting on the side and listening while eating, but when he heard the words 'war with Annan', he suddenly remembered what he was going to say to Xi Yao.

When Xi Yao finished speaking, he said to her, "Xi Yao, husband has something to tell you." ”
