Three days passed in a flash.

Today is the official start of the imperial examination.

The exam will take place over three days, during which the candidate will stay in the exam room, will not be allowed to go anywhere but his desk, and will have to bring in dry food, water, and even sleeping stuff in advance.

At this time, in front of the door of the examination room, the black crowd was crowded together, most of them came to send the exam, they stood in front of the door, constantly instructing the candidates, or looking at the back of the candidates entering, their faces were full of nervousness and expectation.

"Hehe, your child is so young that he can come to participate in the scientific examination?"

"Hehe, luck, I heard that your son studied under Master Jia, that is a famous teacher, there must be a great possibility of high school!"

"Then I will take your good words."

"Child, hurry up and bring this cotton coat in, don't freeze, in case it rains, it's very cold."

"Brother, go in, the hope of our family is in you."

"Ahem, Lao Xu, if you still can't go to high school this time, let's go back, you didn't go back when our mother died last year."

"It doesn't matter if it's just this time, you're still young."

All sorts of voices rang out.

Shen Youqiu stood at the corner of the street, looking at the delicate and elegant Shen Congwen standing there, his eyes were full of endless light and a calm expectation, and he inexplicably had a lot of confidence in his cousin.

"After you go in, take the exam well, my cousin believes in you, and you will definitely be able to achieve your goal."

Shen Youqiu instructed, and asked him to hand over the thick clothes, dry food, water bags, and enough pen and ink to him, and even prepared a medicinal herb for him to refresh, if he is sleepy, or his mind is messy, chewing it can make people feel refreshed.

"Thank you, cousin." Shen Liwen held these things and said a little excitedly: "I will definitely perform well, you wait to see my results."

"Okay, when it comes out, my cousin will take you to eat something delicious." z.br>

"Listen to my cousin."

With that, he turned around and walked towards the exam room firmly and expectantly.

Bai Zhi and Holly looked at his back and couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Childe Liwen is already able to go to high school."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't go to high school, he's still so young, you see those candidates, even the old man in his fifties and sixties has it, even if he doesn't have high school this time, he can come back next time."

After speaking, Bai Zhi immediately looked back at Shen Youqiu, and said a little nervously, "Madam, there are too many people here, and it's a little unsafe, let's go back."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Holly also thought of something, nodded quickly, and then carefully went to support Shen Youqiu.

"It's not that serious." Looking at the appearance of the two of them waiting for battle, Shen Youqiu couldn't help but smile, and was about to get into the carriage by himself, but at this moment he saw one or two luxury carriages coming over, and the people inside opened the curtain, and it turned out to be the prince.

"Mrs. Qi, what a coincidence."

The prince seemed to be pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile, "Are you here to watch these talent exams?"

"It's not."

Shen Youqiu shook his head, "My cousin is also going to take this year's exam, so I came to see her off."

"I see." The prince continued to laugh, "Madame's younger brother must be the dragon and phoenix among people, and he will definitely be on the list if he wants to."

"Your Highness has praised it."

"How so?"

The crown prince stared at her, "With an excellent sister like Mrs. Qi, where will the younger brother go? His Royal Highness is looking forward to seeing Madame's younger brother by his side in the future."

"By the way, I haven't thanked Mrs. well for the last time, and in a few days, the crown princess and I will definitely come to the door to thank you." The prince's face was sincere.

"It is an honor for the courtiers to help His Royal Highness and the crown princess." Shen Youqiu lowered his head and said lightly.

"Huh."

The prince chuckled, "Don't be too humble, to be honest, Ben

Your Highness is quite envious that the little general can have a lady like you."

After saying this, he immediately continued: "Your Highness has something to do today, so I won't talk to Mrs. more, and I will visit you in a few days."

"Don't delay Your Highness."

After the two finished talking, the prince's carriage left in a hurry, but Shen Youqiu vaguely felt that it was not good in his heart.

The crown prince seems to have been overzealous today.

Bai Zhi looked at the carriage where the prince was gone, frowned, but didn't say anything, just went to hold Shen Youqiu's hand, and helped him lift the curtain with the other hand.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised our lady so much, madam, you are so amazing." Holly couldn't help but proudly pat Shen Youqiu on the back.

"Alright, don't talk about it, let's go back first." Bai Zhi reminded, "There are a lot of people here, let's go back and talk about it."

"Okay."

So, with the careful support of the two people, Shen Youqiu got into the carriage and rushed home.

Tomorrow is Qi Jingxing's birthday, and she was thinking about how to celebrate his birthday for him, and how to tell him about her pregnancy would make him happier, so she quickly threw the matter out of her mind.

When they arrived outside the mansion, Qi Jingxing's lieutenant general and his horse were waiting outside the door.

"The General is back?"

Shen Youqiu asked with some surprise.

"I've seen Madame."

The adjutant general hurriedly saluted, "Yes, the general came back to get something."

At this time, the housekeeper guarding the door saw Shen Youqiu coming back, and he also said with a smile: "Madam, you are back, I will go and tell the general immediately."

"No need."

Shen Youqiu shook his head, "I'll go find him myself."

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at her stomach and gently placed her hand on it.

Otherwise, tell him the news today.

Thinking about it, she walked towards the main courtyard, and the closer she got closer, the more nervous she became, and this long-lost feeling made her feel a little funny.

However, when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she was suddenly stunned.

Because there was a woman's cry faintly in the courtyard, in addition to the woman's voice, there was also Qi Jingxing's voice, but it was too far away, and she didn't hear it clearly.

Holly and Bai Zhi didn't hear it, and the two continued to walk happily.

"Wait." She stopped the two of them, "I'll go over and have a look."

The two were stunned for a moment, thinking that Shen Youqiu wanted to meet Qi Jingxing alone, so they happily agreed.

Shen Youqiu walked forward expressionlessly, and when he was about to reach the door, the voice inside became more and more obvious.

"You help me......

"Jing Xing, I really miss you......

"Are you still willing to take care of me now? What do you think I'm going to do......

Through the gap in the door, Shen Youqiu saw a woman in plain clothes standing in front of Qi Jingxing with her back to her, her two hands tightly grasping Qi Jingxing's arm, her head slightly lowered, as if she was leaning on Qi Jingxing's shoulder and crying.
