Wuguo has always attached great importance to the selection of officials, and this year's autumn examination was handed over to the Hanlin Academy to be in charge of this matter, and the person who is now serving is the son of the prime minister of the dynasty - Luo Jiuge. The genius boy Luo Jiuge is one of the most famous among the bachelors in the Hanlin Academy.

Coupled with Prime Minister Luo Cheng's merits, Prime Minister Luo Cheng was the first of the hundred officials in Wuguo, and Luo Jiuge was naturally selected by the emperor as an important official in the court.

After the selection this year, there are ten famous scholars selected from the Guozijian, as well as 20 young adults recommended from the local government, among which there are three people with the most outstanding results, these three are Zhao Hexun, the second son of General Zhao, and one is the Shangguan You of the Shangguan family that year, and the other is Shang Zigui selected from the local government.

The literary brilliance of these people and the emperor's deep appreciation have become the most eye-catching people in the current exam.

Now that the emperor has issued an edict to hand over this matter to the two princes for examination, people with a discerning eye know that this is not only to screen future court officials, but also to test the respective talents of the two princes, and the matter of selecting officials will involve a deeper and broader situation.

After three days of wandering, the jade coffin took Shen Mei to a little-known small fishing village, and when Shen Mei was discovered, the jade coffin was transformed into a jade bracelet and fastened on Shen Mei's wrist, no one knew that this jade bracelet would have such a change.

The people brought Shen Mei into the house of the village chief in the fishing village to recuperate, and after another three days, Shen Mei finally opened her eyes and saw this wonderful world again.

When he awoke, he sat beside him an old woman with gray hair, sitting on another wooden bed beside him, bowing her head by the dim light, carefully sewing a coarse cloth garment.

Shen Mei rubbed her eyes and saw that she was also wearing a cloth shirt that looked dull in color, "Where is this." Shen Mei's weak voice asked slowly.

The old woman was startled, put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at Shen Mei, "Girl, you're awake." The old lady's voice was comforting.

Shen Mei had just recovered from Qiu Yu's death, watching a fresh life fall in front of her like this, and in the end it was for herself, she couldn't accept this anyway, Qiu Yu had already burned a deep imprint in her heart, and once she thought of the last look with Qiu Yu, the sourness in her heart became deeper and deeper.

The old lady stretched out her hand and touched Shen Mei's forehead, and finally smiled contentedly, "The fever has subsided, I'll ask my son to get some food for the girl later." As he spoke, he got off the edge of the bed and tucked the corner of the quilt for Shen Mei. whispered a few words, then lifted the curtain and left the house.

Shen Mei glanced around, the room was not big, it looked like a stone house, but it was not as cold as imagined, such a room could make people feel more and more warm from it.

The old woman just now looked very simple and kind, and she was also cautious and concerned about Shen Mei, which made a woman who had not felt warmth in this world for a long time a little overwhelmed.

Besides, Shen Mei didn't know where she was now, and whether she should go back to the capital, everything there was a little dark and unknown fear, Shen Mei was afraid that she had been away for a long time, and what kind of situation she would face if she went back again.

However, Shen Mei understood that she had to go back no matter what, and everything she would face when she went back this time would be borne by her alone.

At this time, the recent situation in Yulin Kingdom has made a different progress.

Zhao Linger originally planned to perfunctory in the matter of choosing a concubine, but who would know that someone deliberately did something in secret, so that Zhao Linger unexpectedly entered the semi-finals, and the women who entered the semi-finals had to enter the palace and become palace people regardless of whether they were finally selected, and their lives could only be spent in the deep palace.

After Yue Niang knew about this, she was in a panic all day long, and the business in the store was not taken care of, and the number of customers gradually decreased and fewer, and Xiao Hanguang was still willing to stay here.

One day, Zhao Ling'er came back, and met Xiao Hanguang, who was just coming back from going out, but he no longer stepped forward to talk to him as usual, with a somewhat gloomy expression, Zhao Ling'er knew that he could never get close to Xiao Hanguang again, so he gradually died of this heart.

Looking at Xiao Hanguang, he neither advanced nor retreated, and the pestle was stunned. But this Xiao Hanguang seemed to notice that something was wrong with her at this time, stared at her for a while, thinking that this woman didn't say hello when she saw herself now, and she was really just some people who liked the new and hated the old.

Then he strode towards the room with cold eyes.

Leave the person behind and sigh alone.

Xiao Hanguang only learned the news that Zhao Ling'er had entered the re-examination at night, and he had always thought that Zhao Ling'er would not be favored at all as she thought, but this time he or she had miscalculated.

For Zhao Ling'er, this concubine selection can't escape after all, but what she didn't expect was that she actually entered the semi-finals, did she really want to enter the palace and say goodbye to the outside world. The unwillingness in my heart, and even more unwilling is the man who glanced at her from a distance just now and didn't have half a word to talk to her.

No wonder who, deep love is long-lived, Zhao Linger doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past and become a woman like Yue Niang. Over the years, she has not seen Yueniang secretly sad to the moon alone, and she didn't understand what this lonely sadness was when she was young, and it was only later that Yueniang intentionally or unintentionally mentioned her biological father.

But Zhao Ling'er has no memory of her father, and even the initial fantasy has been worn out with the loss of time, and she can't perceive it.

She didn't want Yueniang not to tell her about her life experience, she just wanted Yueniang to be healthy all her life, so that their mother and daughter could be together for a longer time, and she would have the opportunity to repay Yueniang's kindness over the years, if she was elected to the palace, then Yueniang would only be left alone, Zhao Linger didn't know if Yueniang would survive at that time.

Late at night, Yue Niang entered Zhao Ling'er's house lightly, and the people on the bed liked to curl up and hug each other as they did when they were children, looking at it from a distance like a small hillside.

Yue Niang didn't know whether she should be happy or worried, so she carefully moved Zhao Ling'er in, and then she lay down next to Zhao Ling'er, looking at her daughter sideways, with a little doting in her eyes, a little indistinguishable complexity.
