When the four princes saw the eunuch returning, the eunuch asked, "What did he say?" ”

The eunuch replied respectfully: "He asked if he could end it early." ”

Ending early? The four of them were stunned, and looked at Zhao Kangcheng, who had put down his pen at the moment and was closing his eyes to recuperate, and thought: Isn't he already finished? So fast?

Zuo Xiang said: "Go and get his test papers." ”

"Yes." When the eunuch received the order and was about to get Zhao Kangcheng's test papers, King Jiang and the crown prince suddenly spoke together:

"Wait a minute."

The eunuch immediately stopped, turned around, and looked at the crown prince and King Jiang respectfully: "Yes." ”

King Jiang and the crown prince glanced at each other, and King Jiang said: "This move is inappropriate, it will affect other candidates, let's talk about it when it's over." ”

The prince saw that King Jiang had already said what he wanted to say, so he stopped talking.

"Yes." The eunuch received the command, and then retreated to the dark place where he had stood.

Zuo said to King Jiang: "It's the old minister who didn't think it through. ”

King Jiang waved his hand and said, "It's okay." Because just now he really wanted to take a look at the content of Zhao Kangcheng's test paper in advance, and wanted to know what he wrote in this short half-column of incense time?

Soon, the remaining half of the incense was also burned out, and Taifu shouted: "Rewind!" ”

So the eunuchs who had previously distributed the files came out of the shadows again, took away the papers on the candidates' desks one by one, and then carefully put them into a brocade box and locked them.

Subsequently, a eunuch stepped forward and respectfully said to the four princes: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince, the two adults, the emperor dictated, saying that he would personally review this palace examination. ”

The four of them were slightly stunned, they thought that it would be the four of them who reviewed the file this time, but they didn't expect the emperor to review it in person, and then take a closer look, isn't this eunuch serving the eunuch around the emperor!

But since it was the emperor's dictation, they could only nod and agree.

The candidates were also a little surprised, they didn't expect that the palace examination would be reviewed by the emperor himself, but this also made them feel a lot more relieved, after all, since it was reviewed by the emperor, it would be much fairer.

After the eunuch left with the file, King Jiang said to the candidates: "A room has been prepared for you to rest next to this palace, you can rest well today and prepare for tomorrow's exam." After saying that, he and the prince turned and left.

All the candidates bowed, bowed, and said in unison: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness, the prince, the prince, the left minister!" ”

Then everyone was led by the eunuchs to the palace next door.

The palace is very large, and it is also two floors, and there are many rooms in it, which seem to be specially prepared for the candidates of the palace examination, and there are many books in it.

The eunuch told the people that the room was for four people, and the names were posted on the door, and everyone could check in according to the names on the door.

Staying with Zhao Kangcheng was Sun Yuxuan, Wu Yihan and Zhou Xiaoyun, who ranked fourth on the conference list.

It seems that the distribution is based on ranking.

Originally, Zheng Yi's group only had three people because Zheng Yi did not come.

There were four beds in the room, two on the left and right walls, and nothing else.

After everyone finished visiting the room, they happened to hear a eunuch outside saying that they could have lunch.

When they walked out of the room, they saw a long dining table in the hall, arranged in two rows, on which were rich in food.

When everyone saw this, their faces were overjoyed, and they walked over - they were already hungry after an exam, not to mention that this was still the food made in the imperial dining room, which was difficult for ordinary people to eat!

I have to say that it is worthy of the food made in the imperial dining room, the taste is indeed much better than that of the restaurant outside, everyone is very happy to eat, Zhao Kangcheng is also tasting carefully, but in his heart he is comparing with Cai Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship.

Then he smiled: It's still much better to make Cai Xiaoxiao.

thought to himself, Cai Xiaoxiao would be very happy if he heard this. Thinking of Cai Xiaoxiao, Zhao Kangcheng's eyes couldn't help but overflow with tenderness.

The three-day palace test ended quickly, and when Zhao Kangcheng walked out of the palace, he saw Cai Xiaoxiao and Zheng Yi standing at the gate of the palace, greeting him with a smile on their faces.

Zhao Kangcheng couldn't help but hook his lips, smiled softly, and then walked over, hugged Cai Xiaoxiao gently, and whispered in her ear: "It's over." "Regardless of the result, it's over for him.

"Hmm." Cai Xiaoxiao hugged him and nodded.

Zheng Yi smiled beside him and said, "Brother, sister-in-law is waiting for you to come back after making a big meal." ”

Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng let go of each other, Zhao Kangcheng listened to Zheng Yi's words and said with a smile: "Really? I'm looking forward to it. ”

The three looked at each other, then looked at each other and smiled, then turned to go back.

"Miss, they're back." Not far away, there was still a familiar carriage, and inside the car, Xiaocui said to Sun Lulu, who was looking at Cai Xiaoxiao and the three of them through the window.

"Hmm." Sun Lulu lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Go back." ”

"Miss, aren't you going?" Xiaocui has long been aware of Sun Lulu's thoughts, although she feels that people like Zhao Kangcheng are not worthy of Miss except for their appearance, but since Miss likes it, she can only choose to support it.

Seeing Sun Lulu's somewhat lonely look at this moment, she couldn't help asking.

Sun Lulu shook her head: "I guess they won't welcome me either, and besides, I'm not in a hurry for a while, and the future will be long." "What she wanted, she never missed! So, she's not in a hurry.

The carriage slowly departed.

After Cai Xiaoxiao glanced back, she retracted her gaze and asked Zhao Kangcheng with a smile: "Xianggong, you must have tasted the food made in the imperial dining room this time in the palace, haven't you?" ”

Zhao Kangcheng nodded: "Hmm." ”

"How does it taste? How do you compare with me? Cai Xiaoxiao asked immediately, with a look of curiosity and expectation, and Zheng Yi next to him also looked at Zhao Kangcheng with the same expression.

"It tastes good." Zhao Kangcheng said, "But it's still a little worse than you." ”

"Really? Are you telling the truth? Didn't you coax me? Cai Xiaoxiao didn't believe Zhao Kangcheng's words.

Zhao Kangcheng smiled: "It's true, I didn't lie to you." ”

Zheng Yi said with some disbelief on the side: "Brother, you are honest, are you partial to your sister-in-law because you are a sister-in-law?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao also felt the same, nodded, looked at Zhao Kangcheng, and said, "I think too." ”

Zhao Kangcheng smiled helplessly: "No partiality, what I said is true, because I know that Xiaoxiao likes to learn all kinds of cooking skills and learn to progress, so I naturally can't lie." ”

Hearing Zhao Kangcheng say this, Cai Xiaoxiao believed a lot, and said happily: "I'm so happy! I feel that the business of the restaurant will be very good in the future! ”

Zheng Yi was surprised and said, "Is my sister-in-law's cooking skills so good?" ”
