Xuanli was forced to continue to pretend to be Dou Ding, but she was born in the free Ling Village, and she was incompatible with the rules of the palace, and she was unable to adapt to the palace life with many etiquettes, and often made jokes unknowingly, so in the court, there were not a few officials who were quite interested in her, although Yu Panxi knew this, but the spiritual sense of the dragon soul in Dou Ding's body had never recovered, so she could only continue to discuss Xuan Li to let her stay in the palace.

Seeing that the imperial examination in the new year is imminent, the officials repeatedly urged Xuanli to order preparations as soon as possible, she first claimed to pretend to be sick to avoid it, but the people in the dormitory would send a stack of folds almost every day, ninety percent of which were about the imperial examination, and Xuanli, who was helpless, had to discuss with Yu Panxi and continue to go to court normally, and Yu Panxi hid behind the dragon chair to make suggestions when necessary......

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Accompanied by Xiao Linzi's sharp shout, all the officials bowed and bowed to greet her, although she had experienced this face many times, but it was still difficult for her to adapt.

Fortunately, thinking that Yu Panxi was hiding behind the dragon chair today, this made her feel a little secure in her heart, and carefully tried to pass through the officials on both sides with her head held high, sat on the dragon chair with a wave of her sleeves, and then asked in a low voice: "Sister is there?" ”

"I'm here, you can rest assured." Yu Panxi replied in a low voice.

Xuanli's face softened a lot in an instant, Xiao Linzi didn't know what he meant, and asked suspiciously, "What did Your Majesty say just now?" ”

"No, nothing." Xuanli responded perfunctorily.

As soon as she sat down, the dragon chair under her buttocks had not waited for the heat to be covered, and the officials rushed forward to admonish, saying: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination will be held in three days, according to last year's precedent, the examination questions for the imperial examination every year should be selected by you, but it is said that this year's examination questions have not been decided for a long time, but is there any change?" I hope Your Majesty will make it clear! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the three thousand candidates are already ready to go, and they are looking forward to the test questions from Your Majesty day and night, but Your Majesty has repeatedly delayed it on the grounds of illness, which is really unruly!"

In the face of the endless urging of the officials, Xuan Li seemed a little at a loss, she bit her lip tightly, hesitating and not knowing how to respond? Fortunately, at this time, Yu Panxi's voice came from behind the dragon chair, and she told Xuanli not to panic, she taught a sentence, and she could learn a sentence.

"Your thoughts, I know that a few days ago, due to my physical discomfort, I didn't have the heart to discuss the imperial examination questions with you, but although I am sick, I have always been concerned about this matter, and finally decided that the topic of the examination questions will be set as the four characters of Guotai and Min'an, what do you think?" With Yu Panxi as the backing, Xuanli's state is obviously a lot calmer, and even the tone of his speech is much more confident.

Although the four characters of Guotai Min'an are simple, they have hidden meanings, and they will have different harvests when understood from all angles, which can be described as broad and profound, and hidden mysteries.

Seeing that Xuanli had drawn up the topic of the imperial examination, and the subject matter was also vigorous, all the officials exchanged their heads and ears, and they all agreed with this topic, so they said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, the topic of Guotai and Min'an is indeed very suitable." ”

Since the imperial examinations in the past dynasties were divided into both civil and military subjects, the liberal arts topics needed to be formulated, but the martial arts only needed to use weapons to fight for the first.

Xuan Li, who walked out of the hall, was relieved, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally no longer looked like she was frowning, but said to Yu Panxi with a fluke smile: "Sister, thanks to you this time." ”

Because she was too relaxed, she didn't choose to say anything for a while, and she ignored that the personal eunuch Xiao Linzi was still there, and actually opened her mouth to call Yu Panxi "sister", which made Xiao Linzi, who didn't know it, stunned, seeing this, Yu Panxi frowned, gave Xuan Li a reminder of a look, and deliberately admonished:

"Your Majesty, is this sick and confused? It's really unseemly to replace my mother with my sister without even distinguishing between people! ”

Xuanli suddenly realized, she smiled embarrassedly knowing that she had made a mistake, and in front of Xiao Linzi and all the subordinates, she leaned over to apologize to Yu Panxi, and said: "Mother forgive me, I am still unwell, so I was negligent in saying the wrong thing for a while, I hope my mother will forgive." ”

"Well, it's good to know your mistakes, pay attention next time." Yu Panxi reminded him that this matter has finally come to an end temporarily, and due to the tacit cooperation between the two, you and I will say a word, and the previous doubts of the people will naturally fade a lot.

Yu Panxi was in a hurry to go back to take care of Dou Ding, so he left the palace and prepared to go back to Xiao Mansion, when passing by the palace gate, she overheard the conversation between the two officials, she didn't want to pay attention, but their voices gradually came into her ears, only to hear one of them say: "In this year's imperial examination, I heard that there are not a few candidates with excellent results, especially the one named Ju Ziyu, who is the best among them, and it seems that he is the most promising person to win the championship in this year's liberal arts examination." ”

"No, no, I heard that Juziyu is not only endowed with poetry and songs, but also talented in martial arts, and has been taught by the Huashan School since he was a child, and he is an extremely excellent seedling." Hearing that the other party mentioned Juziyu, the other person also told what he had seen and heard.

"In this way, that Ju Ziyu is actually a talent with both civil and military skills?"

"If the rumors are true, that's probably the case, but is he a Kawen or a martial arts? We don't know this, no matter which subject he chooses, his grades will be the top of the rankings, right? ”

Juziyu, this name passed into Yu Panxi's ears......

When it comes to the surname "Ju", it is not common in Kyoto, Ningguo, if you have to say that the person who thinks of hearing this surname, it should be the former dynasty Taishi Ju Xuecheng, is it possible that this "Juzi Yu" is the descendant of Ju Xuecheng?

I remembered that I had heard Xiao Chumo mention this Taishi more than once before, it is said that he was a very kind and intelligent Qing official, who had been teaching with Xiao Chumo's grandfather, and later died of illness on the way to supervise the repair of the river embankment, and the people lamented, Xiao Chumo's grandfather fainted several times at his funeral, and almost died.

However, later the emperor of the previous dynasty took care of the descendants of Ju Xuecheng, rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, but was rejected for some reason, and then the family moved out of Kyoto almost overnight, and there has been no news since then.

"If this Ju Ziyu is really a descendant of Master Ju Tai, and he can still win the ranking in this imperial examination, it will be regarded as adding glory to the family again." Yu Panxi smiled slightly, and was ready to wait for Xiao Chumo to return, so he informed him of the matter, firstly, Juziyu is very likely to be the confidant descendant that Old Man Xiao wanted to see the most before his death, and secondly, Juziyu is both civil and military, regardless of the results of the imperial examination? She wanted to keep this person in the court and use it in the future.

Just when she was thinking about it so thoughtfully, when she returned to the Xiao Mansion compound, a familiar voice came into view, although he was still wearing armor, but when he hugged Qianyi in his arms, the doting and gentleness in his eyes still made her recognize at a glance that he was Xiao Chumo who made her think about it day and night!
