Princess Qingyu instructed the groom to drive the carriage to send Yang Yansi back to the Yang Mansion.

On the way, Yang Yansi had already learned from Princess Qingyu about everything that happened during the night when he was asleep.

Yang Yansi was surprised by his eighteenth place in the provincial high school exam.

With Wang Qin as the deputy examiner, it would be good if he didn't stop, how could he be given such a high ranking.

Yang Yansi quickly guessed that this matter was related to Xue Juzheng.

With Wang Qin, the deputy examiner, in the way, only Xue Juzheng, the chief examiner, can do it if he can rank so highly.

Why Xue Juzheng would help him, Yang Yansi couldn't guess, and he couldn't guess it.

The carriage arrived at the Yang Mansion, and Yang Yansi said goodbye to Princess Qingyu and entered the Yang Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Yansi felt a joyful atmosphere in the Yang Mansion.

What is surprising is that Yang Ye did not punish Yang Yansi for not returning for a day and a night, but retreated him to the guests and praised him violently.

In the end, Yang Yansi was a little embarrassed to be praised.

The banquet in Yang's Mansion lasted until the second half of the night.

At the banquet, Yang Yansi also drank a lot, and after returning to the East Courtyard, he fell directly drunk on the bed.

When he opened his eyes again, the envoy sent by the imperial court to deliver the official uniform had already arrived at the Yang Mansion.

If you are admitted to the provincial examination to participate in the palace examination, you must wear official uniforms and court uniforms.

This is to show the importance of the palace examination, but also to show respect for the emperor.

The official uniform of the early Song Dynasty is purple above the third grade, vermilion above the fifth grade, green above the seventh grade, and cyan above the ninth grade.

The official uniform distributed by the imperial court to Yang Yansi was blue.

The cyan caftan has a round neck and large sleeves, a horizontal sash underneath, a leather belt around the waist, an official hat on the head, a horizontal swing on each side of the official hat, and official boots on the feet.

Yang Yansi put on an official uniform under the service of the maidservants, adding a bit of heroism.

On the day of the palace test, on the fifth watch, She Saihua woke up Yang Yansi.

Yang Yansi put on his official uniform, got into the family's carriage, and hurried to the palace gate.

Along the way, I met the forbidden army patrolling the streets, as long as I showed my identity seal and explained that I was going to participate in the palace examination, the forbidden army would let me go.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw that there were already many people standing at the gate of the palace.

All of them were wearing cyan official uniforms, waiting for the palace door to open.

Su Yijian saw Yang Yansi who was hurrying over and stepped forward.

"Brother Xian, this time the foolish brother has overwhelmed you."

Yang Yansi got out of the carriage, smiled, and said, "The palace test failed, Brother Su must be a little happy too early, right?" ”

Su Yijian snorted coldly, "In the palace test, I will win the championship in one fell swoop." ”

Wang Dan also came over at this time, and there was a large group of people around him.

"Brother Yang Xian, I haven't seen you since the Gongyuan, and I want to invite you to raise a glass to celebrate, but I can't find anyone."

Yang Yansi gave up, "Things at home are complicated, and I can't get out." Looking back, please have a drink together. ”

"Brother Yang Xian is the year of dancing elephants, high school laurels, I can't wait for the year of confusion, and I am in the same department as you, it's really embarrassing!"

It was an uncle in his forties who spoke, and Yang Yansi vaguely remembered that he had seen him when he was in the Ministry of Rites to verify his name.

He should be a book collector.

Wang Dan smiled and introduced Yang Yansi, "Brother Yang Xian, let me introduce you to you, this is Chao Yuan...... Zhang Yong...... Feng Zheng ......"

Wang Dan introduced to the last person.

The last person, Yang Yansi, was quite impressed.

This person is the undergraduate, the second youngest person besides him.

"Huazhou Kou Zhun!"

Yang Yansi broke Kou Zhun's identity with one word.

Kou Zhun is not very old, his personality is jumpy, and he was called by Yang Yansi to break his identity, and he gave a salute with a smile.

"It's Kou Zhun down there."

Yang Yansi looked at the immature Kou Zhun, and the look of appreciation in his eyes was difficult to hide.

Kou Zhun saw that Yang Yansi didn't look at anyone else, and looked at himself like a hunter looking at his prey, and his eyes rolled.

"Brother Yang Xian has seen it before?"

Yang Yansi shook his head, "I haven't seen it before, but there will be many opportunities to meet in the future." ”

This kind of famous minister through the ages must be collected into his own hands before he grows up.

This is what Yang Yansi thinks.

Wang Dan's level of friendship is very high, plus Yang Yansi and Su Yijian, and the rest are also among the top 20 in this provincial test.

These people are all talents in Yang Yansi's eyes, and if they can collect one or two in the future, it will be a beautiful thing.

Therefore, Yang Yansi's attitude is very humble and chatting with them.

The group praised each other, tested each other, and finally chatted, as long as they didn't commit taboos, they talked about everything.

Gradually, there was a hint of fish belly white in the east.

Led by Xue Juzheng, the students lined up in two columns at the gate of the palace.

Xue Juzheng led the students, and after thanking the emperor in front of the palace, under the leadership of the eunuchs, they rushed in.

Entered the palace.

All the students looked around in amazement.

The neck stretches out for an old man.

Yang Yansi is not exempt from vulgarity, he entered the palace before, he entered from the west gate, and after entering the palace, he was directly taken to the side hall, and did not enter from the south gate, seeing the grandeur of the front of the palace.

In later generations, he visited the ruins of the Song Imperial City in Kaifeng, but at this moment, looking at the imperial palace, it is obviously slightly different.

Compared to the playful attraction of later generations.

The palace at this moment is full of grandeur, atmosphere, solemnity and solemnity.

The palace guards were clad in polished shining armor, holding swords and spears in their hands, and their eyes stared ahead without blinking.

The eunuchs drooped their heads, walking in rows and rows, in unison.

The palace maids hid in the corner in front of the Daqing Palace, secretly looking at the high-spirited new students.

One after another with a unique Song Dynasty color of the banner was unfurled, and it was blown in the wind.

In front of the Daqing Palace, there was a row of young eunuchs.

Wang Jien, the chief eunuch, came out of the Daqing Palace, glanced at the new science students led by Xue Juzheng, and shouted sharply.

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that the students of science will go to the temple."

The young eunuchs who stood in a row then shouted in unison.

"Xuanjin Science Son goes to the temple."

The shrill shouts echoed in the palace and lasted for a long time.

Xue Juzheng took the lead, the students followed, and everyone bowed together.

"No!"

Subsequently, Xue Juzheng led the students into the main hall.

In the main hall, Zhao Guangyi sat on the dragon chair, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with a solemn face and full of majesty.

On the desk in front of him, there were books one after another.

The books had apparently been flipped over for a long time, and the corners were worn.

Under the dragon chair, eight officials sat on either side, all wearing purple robes.

On the left is headed by Zhao Pu, and on the right is headed by Shen Lun.

The six Shangshu were separated by three and three, and sat under Zhao Pu and Shen Lun.

In the Daqing Palace, a low desk has already been placed, on which pen, ink, paper and inkstone have been prepared for the students.
