Yu Zhaoxian's examination in the Gongyuan is the examination, which is a national examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites, also known as the rites, and is held in the second year of the township examination, that is, in the year of Chou, Chen, Wei, and Xu. The national examination is generally in February in the spring, so it is called the spring of the year. The examination is also divided into three sessions, which are generally held on the 9th, 12th and 15th of February.

There are some exceptions to this year's spring exam, and the date was changed by Long Xingche, mainly because the winter of Chenguo this year is particularly long, with a lot of heavy snowfall, and the road is difficult to walk. Long Xingche deliberately postponed the exam date in consideration of the safety of the candidates. And because of the time constraints, the exams that were originally scheduled to be three were merged into one.

Therefore, although Li Xiuwen and others are also looking at the list now, they are only the names of the tribute students who passed the Gongyuan exam. If Yu Zhaoxian passed the Gongsheng examination, then he would already be a preparatory official, but he still had to take an exam, that is, a palace exam invigilated by the emperor himself.

After the end of the palace examination, it is the critical moment that really determines the future and destiny of a candidate who enters the Beijing examination!

Not long after Yu Zhaoxian and Li Xiuwen came to the front of the list, they found their names: "Found it!" Mother, find my name, I'm a tribute now! ”

Zhang was also so relieved that he shed tears: "Yes, in a few days, after passing the palace test, your future will be clear!" ”

Li Xiuwen was also very happy for him after seeing Yu Zhaoxian become a qualified tribute student. But considering the situation a few days ago, for the sake of prudence, after reading the list, he hurriedly sent Yu Zhaoxian's mother and son back to Lanyueju.

Chenguo Imperial Palace Zichen Hall

"Your Majesty, can I follow the palace test to have a look?" Fu Wenjing was supported by Yuehe and walked into the study where Long Xingche was reviewing the folds from the outside.

When Long Xingche heard Fu Wenjing's voice, he quickly stood up, helped her sit down, and then waved Yuehe out: "No!" How can you go like this? ”

"But, Your Majesty, don't you want your daughter to feel the atmosphere of the literati? After she was born, it wasn't so quiet! Fu Wenjing stroked her belly, which was about to give birth, and said meaningfully.

When Long Xingche heard Fu Wenjing talk about the child in her womb, her tone softened a lot: "But...... There has never been such a precedent in Tatsukoku......"

"You can put a curtain behind you that I can see in front of, and I'll just sneak a look at what the temple test looks like, okay?" Fu Wenjing had only heard of the palace examination before, but she had never seen it.

Since it is an exam held by bringing together the top talents in the country, it must be very spectacular, and her heart has been itching since she was about to preside over the palace exam in a few days.

Although Long Xingche dotes on Fu Wenjing, he will not regard national affairs as a way to please her, he said with a straight face: "It is an occasion to select talents for Chenguo, not to see a lively bazaar, understand?" ”

Fu Wenjing also looked serious: "I didn't say that I would treat it as a lively bazaar, I am very cautious about this matter!" I will never let the emperor "play the princes" for me! ”

Fu Wenjing naturally understood what Long Xingche meant, but seeing that Long Xingche was still hesitant, she sprinkled her coquettishness: "Your Majesty, just this time, the concubine really wants to see ......."

"Hey! Well, don't take it as an example! Long Xingche finally agreed.

When I saw that Fu Wenjing was obviously close to production, she was still beautiful in the country. and his own heart, which has been captured by Fu Wenjing, also secretly said to him all the time, after "promising her", he finally understood why some emperors died because of women!

On the day of the palace test, Long Xingche deliberately adjusted the position of his dragon chair, and added an extra curtain behind it. Fu Wenjing hid in the curtain behind Long Xingche and saw the scene of the ancient palace test.

She crept through the gap in the curtain and saw the candidates kneeling on the mat one by one. On the large square in front of the Chaohui Palace, there were about two hundred people. It's already March, but when the exam starts, it's still a little cold because the sun hasn't come out yet. But the candidates were still all on their knees grinding their answers!

Fu Wenjing, who was hiding behind the curtain to watch, was very touched to see that the candidates were still answering the questions seriously despite the cold!

She remembered that when she used to take the college entrance examination, it was a hot summer. She studied her homework day and night just to get a good score in the exam. At this time, the candidates must also have the same mood as him, ten years of hard work, just for today!

The candidates who participated in the palace examination are all elites from all over the country, and they have already experienced various examinations large and small. Therefore, with a strong psychological quality and a good physical quality, these people will naturally not be afraid of anything when they see the emperor. So let them kneel to answer the questions, naturally there will be no eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, and so on.

The candidates for the palace examination knew that they could not make a fool of themselves by eating and going to the toilet, or annoy the emperor, so they prepared their work in advance, such as not eating, not drinking water, and starving. Thirst can also be bearable, so as to avoid the embarrassment of going to the toilet, they are prepared before the temple examination.

The palace test took three hours, and Fu Wenjing originally wanted to wait until the palace test was over before going back, but her body that was about to give birth couldn't bear it, so she went back to Zichen Hall first.

Zichen Palace

As soon as Fu Wenjing lay down, Yu Dandan came to the Zichen Palace.

"Sister, why are you here!"

"Don't get up if you're heavy, I have something to ask you!"

"Oh, I can't get up even when I think about it, my back hurts now!"

Fu Wenjing sat behind the curtain behind Long Xingche for a morning, her back hurt, so she lay on the bed and didn't get up, but just took a pillow and put it on her waist.

Yu Dandan went to the bedside and wanted to help Fu Wenjing massage her waist, but was stopped by Fu Wenjing: "I'm already much better!" If you can do this, just talk to me! ”

"Okay, I'll be blunt, did you see my brother?" Yu Dandan knew that Fu Wenjing quietly followed Long Xingche to the palace test site.

Fu Wenjing smiled and said, "I knew you would ask me this question, but I really didn't see it!" There are so many people there, probably more than 200 candidates! Although I sat high, I was too far away, and I went to see them through the gap in the curtain, and I really couldn't find him! ”

Yu Dandan twisted the handkerchief in his hand and said worriedly: "What you said is also right!" However, I still can't help but worry about Xian'er, he is only eighteen years old this year, and I heard that he is the youngest of these candidates, I don't know if he can handle such a scene! ”

Fu Wenjing asked funny: "Are you just worried about whether he can handle such a scene, don't you care if she is handpicked by the emperor?" ”
