"I see."

Su Wenxuan took the brocade box and sent everyone out of the house, then put the brocade box on the table and opened it carefully.

There was nothing else in the brocade box, only a thin piece of stationery, folded squarely.

Su Wenxuan opened it and looked at it.

There was not a word on the letterhead, but there were a few wrinkles and unevenness on the letterhead, as if it had been wet and then dried.

Obviously, the fifth princess wanted to write something, but after holding the pen for a long time, it was difficult to put pen to paper, and the emotions in her heart were so complicated that the tears in her eyes fell on the paper, wetting the letter paper, leaving those traces.

Su Wenxuan could imagine that the fifth princess was sitting alone in front of the window at this time, with a complicated mood and difficulty sleeping, and she only felt as if her heart had been cut by a knife.

It hurts my heart.

Su Wenxuan held the piece of paper tightly, was silent for a long time, and finally took out a piece of paper, took a pen and wrote down the word "An", folded it and put it in the envelope, and put it back in the brocade box.

"Send someone to the palace and hand it over to the five princesses." Su Wenxuan commanded.

Since the fifth princess is worried, in addition to verbal comfort, he needs to prove it in practical actions, so that the fifth princess can be completely at ease.

Su Wenxuan clenched his fingers.

The next day is the day of registration, and the registration place is outside the palace gate.

Early in the morning, before the official arrived, some people began to wait in line.

Many people who watched the excitement also stopped nearby to watch, so that outside the palace gate was bustling and noisy.

In order to sign up, Su Wenxuan took a day off today, and also lined up in the crowd and walked forward slowly.

There are many people who come to sign up, and they are all people who are officials in the same dynasty, and they can be said to look up and not look down in the capital, many people are acquaintances, and it is inevitable to greet each other when waiting, and some people take the opportunity to know more dignitaries, so as to make friends with one or two, and pave the way for the future.

Su Wenxuan works in the Ministry of Rites, and there are many officials who deal with Su Ri, plus the Su family now has a county lord and a first-class lady, a quasi-princess, and she is in the limelight, so many people naturally have heard of Su Wenxuan.

At this time, seeing Su Wenxuan coming to sign up, many people were quite surprised and talked about it.

"This Lord Su actually came to sign up, I really didn't expect it."

"Lord Su is not married yet, and everything meets the conditions set by the emperor, why can't he come?"

"The emperor said that those who meet the conditions can sign up, but this Su family has already won the favor of the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Prince, and the future is limitless, but Lord Su still has to sign up at this time, will it be too eager for quick success?"

"Tsk, this Lord Su has always looked like he doesn't care about the honor and favor of official positions, and he only thinks that he is a high-minded person who doesn't care about the world, and he never thought that he was also a person who clings to the powerful, and he refuses to let go of any opportunity, he is really just a person who is camping."

"I said this, as if it was not tolerated to sign up for the selection of a horse, but it was just for the sake of my future, and I didn't do anything to hurt the heavens and reason, so why not?"

"If it is placed on someone else, it is naturally not inappropriate, but this Lord Su ......."

"Lord Su is also a human being, can't he think about his future? It's a sister's business if the younger sister in the family has a chance, and she needs to hold the real power and benefits herself."

"That is, no one will dislike their high official position and their power......

The people around him had different words, and the eyes of many people were also very complicated, Su Wenxuan listened to it as if he didn't hear it in his ears, only looked at his nose and nose, and walked forward slowly.

Soon it was his turn to sign up.

Whether it was the official in charge of registration, the great eunuch and the aunt in charge sent by the emperor and the queen's mother, they all recognized Su Wenxuan, and called respectfully, "Lord Su."

"Hello adults, good father-in-law, good aunt." Su Wenxuan bowed very politely one by one, and then handed over his identity papers.

The ceremonial officer wrote down Su Wenxuan's name and specific situation, and the big eunuch and the aunt in charge on the side looked Su Wenxuan up and down

After that, he nodded in unison, took the sachet from the box, and handed it to Su Wenxuan.

"Master Su has a valuable character, a dignified appearance, and looks like Pan An, so he should be selected." The aunt in charge smiled.

"Auntie's praise." Su Wenxuan bowed modestly.

"Lord Su is too humble." The big eunuch on the side said, "After being selected this time, you need to go to Qionglin Garden tomorrow to participate in the first competition, and as for the content of the competition, you need to know it tomorrow after you arrive at Qionglin Garden."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Su Wenxuan thanked him again, and then took the sachet and left.

For the rest of the people, some of them were overjoyed when they got the sachets that symbolized the selection, and those who got the fans that symbolized the selection were mostly very depressed.

There are also people who rejoice that they have received a royal fan.

In short, everyone's emotions are vividly expressed at this time.

On the second day, Su Wenxuan arrived at Qionglin Yuan on time according to what the great eunuch said.

Qionglin Garden is a royal garden, not far from the Tribute Courtyard, which is specially used for banquets and royal relatives on weekdays, and is famous for the "Qionglin Banquet" held by high school students after each palace examination.

And now those who meet the conditions and have passed the preliminary screening for registration are either those who have passed the imperial examination before, or because of the shadow of their ancestors, either way, almost all of them have come to Qionglin Yuan.

And because Su Wenxuan is in the Ministry of Rites, Su Ri is inevitably dealing with Qionglinyuan, and he is quite familiar with this place.

It was also because of familiarity that Su Wenxuan noticed that something was wrong as soon as he stepped into this Qionglin Garden.

Today's Qionglin Garden is much more deserted than usual.

It's not because of the desertion of the few people, but today's Qionglin Garden, because all the people who should choose the horses have arrived, and it is very lively.

But except for the guards at the gate of Qionglin Garden, there are no other attendants and servants who can guide in Qionglin Garden.

When I asked the guards at the door, the guards didn't know anything about their reply, so they only asked them to go in first.

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to enter the gate of Qionglin Garden, looking dazed.

"There's no one here to guide us, just let me wait?" Someone questioned it.

"But when the sachet was handed out yesterday, the great eunuch said that there would be an exam in the near future, and the content of the exam will not be known until here." Su Wenxuan proposed, "In that case, we might as well look around and see where everyone is and where we should go to take the exam?"

"What Master Su said is reasonable." Some agreed.

But there are also people who don't agree, "I think it's better to wait a little longer, because if you walk around, it will be considered rude, which is really a bit inappropriate."

There are also humanitarians, "If Lord Su feels that he needs to look around, why don't Lord Su go and look for one or two, and if he finds it, he will inform us?"
