The Imperial City has arrived. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Many of the people in the carriage couldn't help but straighten up, and after a while, the carriage started to move again, but the speed was much slower, and no one in the carriage spoke, as if the moment they entered the imperial city, they were dyed with the silence here.

Gongsheng was not qualified to ride in the carriage in the imperial city for the palace examination, which was a precedent set by the emperor of the previous generation, and gave this group of famous students a special honor. It is this group of people who will control the lifeblood of this country in a certain year and month in the future.

Xu Xian lifted a trace of the curtain and looked out, the golden red light shone on the vast marble square and the majestic palace, brilliant and solemn.

The carriage came to a halt under an arched city gate, and the tributes got out of the carriage one after another, consciously forming a long line and following the eunuchs who led the way, through the tall city gate, to the depths of the imperial city. The Gongsheng were all solemn, but their eyes couldn't help but look around, and their eyes were mixed with curiosity and pride, admiration and horror.

Xu Xian had also been to the palace once, but this time he came with all the tributes, and the feeling was very different. I experienced the majesty of the imperial power more, and the unattainable palaces made people feel as if they were walking under the feet of giants, and they couldn't help but feel shocked, even Xu Xian inevitably had a trace of this feeling.

But Xu Xian suddenly remembered the scene when he flew up into the sky and looked down, not to mention the palace, even Chang'an City is only the size of a matchbox. That feeling of being shocked disappeared immediately, and the surrounding palaces turned into ordinary palaces again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a faint smile. The perspective of immortals and mortals is so different.

Zhong Kui happened to be walking side by side with Xu Xian, and when he squinted at such a smile, he only felt a shock in his chest, "Only with such a demeanor can I write such a poem." There was also a strong aura welling up in his chest, "It's just the palace, if you have a heart and a gallbladder heart, what is there to fear when you see the Son of Heaven?"

Xu Xian noticed his changes, and secretly praised that in this era of supreme imperial power, it is not easy for an ancient person to be able to do this, and he is worthy of being a person who can be a ghost.

Xu Xian suddenly felt that something was wrong, he didn't have the fear of imperial power in his heart, and he shouldn't be intimidated by a few palaces. Feeling something, he squinted his eyes and looked at the main hall at the highest point of the imperial city, although he didn't know the art of looking at qi, he could see clearly with the eyes of the sky, but he saw an amazing scene - a golden dragon entrenched in the main hall, with open eyes and claws, with clear scales and horns, but it was not a real dragon.

Xu Xian knew that this was the so-called true dragon Tianzi Qi, and the emperor should be there! But he immediately understood that it was not the golden dragon that he was looking at from afar-that was just the luck that the emperor alone possessed--but a larger golden dragon, this golden dragon rose from the imperial city and went straight to the sky and ran through the heavens and the earth, which was formed by the idea of gathering all the people in the world. And Xu Xian and them are in the belly of this dragon.

The rise and fall of a dynasty is often in these two dragons. If both are prosperous, then it is a prosperous and prosperous world of peace, and Xu Xian is in such an era. Although sooner or later there will be a day when the dynasty will fall and the world will fall, it should not be now.

Xu Xian lowered his head and pondered, but a pair of eyes fell on him in the distance, it stands to reason that there are countless guards and eunuchs in the palace, and they are all looking at this group of strange visitors, and their eyes are not unusual. Xu Xian didn't care about it at first, but this look of eyes fell on him alone.

couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw a snow-white petite figure, it was Princess Roujia.

She wore a snow-white cloak, standing on the corner of Miyagi in the distance, half-leaning and half-supporting the vermilion pillar beside her, her beautiful little face was full of joy, I don't know whether it was excitement or nervousness, and two blush floated on her snow-white cheeks, which had a kind of delicacy beyond her age. Those big eyes that seem to be only found in anime characters, but with the shyness of a fawn.

When Xu Xian's gaze looked back, she couldn't help but bow her head slightly, lowering her eyelashes to avoid his somewhat burning gaze, but she immediately raised her head and gave him a bright smile.

Xu Xian smiled back, afraid that she wouldn't be able to see it if she was too far away, so he raised his hand and waved at her. When everyone was cautious, this outrageous action immediately attracted the attention of the other Gongsheng, and when they looked in the direction of his waving hand, there was nothing. The eunuch who led the way snorted coldly, and the team immediately returned to calm.

Princess Roujia hid behind the pillar, her back against the pillar, her heart was beating fast as if she was about to jump out of her chest, and finally calmed down a little, and cautiously probed over the pillar, but Xu Xian's figure had already disappeared between the halls with Gongsheng's team.

Princess Roujia breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes looked at the empty square stupidly, her face gradually showed a look of loss, and she wanted to sigh, but she coughed a few times.

"Princess, is that you?" a delicate female voice came, as if attracted by the coughs.

The person who came was Princess Roujia's personal maid Ziyu, who was frowning tightly at the moment, "Princess, how did you come to such a place early in the morning, why didn't you wake up the slave maid, let the slave maid be easy to find, if it was infected with the wind and cold, it would be bad!" she said in her mouth, and stepped forward to straighten up her clothes for Princess Roujia without saying anything.

Princess Roujia said softly: "I'm sorry, Sister Ziyu!"

Ziyu's hand stopped and sighed, "You haven't called me that for a long time!" When she first entered the palace, the little girl on the sickbed often called her that. Although it was not in accordance with the rules, she was very moved.

Princess Roujia showed a playful smile, "It's my sister who won't let me!" looked much more relaxed in front of her.

Ziyu also smiled, "It's not that you always follow my ass and shout, so that others can listen to it......" She took advantage of the situation to hold Princess Roujia's hand, but her expression changed, and she felt that Roujia's little hands were cold, "I heard the guard guarding the door say, you came out on the fourth watch, and I thought you went to the queen's mother, have you been here?"

Princess Roujia looked left and right and explained: "Ah, no, I'm just ......"

Ziyu suddenly remembered that Rou Jia asked her about the palace exam yesterday, when would those tribute students come, from which gate, and which hall to go to. She has also been in the palace for a long time, and the route is clear, but the time is a little vague. I couldn't help asking, "Are you waiting for that Xu Immortal?"

"Huh?" Princess Roujia blushed suddenly, and opened her mouth to deny it, but only let out a string of coughs.

Ziyu was annoyed and distressed, she had been waiting here for almost two hours alone, how could she stand it with her body, "Why are you so stupid?" took Roujia in her arms, gently patted her back, and pressed her cheek against her cold little face. For a while, I hated Xu Xian in my heart.

Princess Roujia's expression gradually softened, and she said softly: "Thank you, Sister Ziyu, I'm sorry for worrying you, I'...... I just wanted to see him again, and he was waving at me just now, he must have been smiling at that time! Although it was a little cold and a little scared to be alone here, but to see him in the end, it would be ...... It's worth it. ”

Ziyu listened to her story, and suddenly felt that her cheeks were a little moist, but when she looked up, she saw that her face was full of tears, and hurriedly wiped her tears, "You, don't cry, if you want to meet in the future, there is still a chance." ”

Princess Roujia just shook her head slightly, although she didn't choke, she couldn't stop her tears.

Ziyu's heart moved, and she said tentatively: "You...... Already know?"

Roujia nodded, twitched her nose vigorously, stopped her tears, wiped her face indiscriminately, and said with a smile: "Let's go back!" Under the light of the rising sun, it looked particularly brilliant.

Ziyu's eyes turned red, don't look over, and after a while, she turned her head, "Well, let's go back!"

Just about to move, Princess Roujia was soft under her feet, Ziyu hurriedly supported her, she stuck out her tongue and said, "My feet are so numb!" opened her arms and said, "Sister Ziyu carried me!"

Ziyu smiled: "You're so heavy now, I can't carry it!" but she squatted down and let Rou Jia lie on her back. When she stood up, she felt as light as snow as before. After walking a few steps, I felt that she had fallen asleep quietly. couldn't help but sigh heavily, last night, she was afraid that she would miss the hour, probably because she hadn't slept all night!

Looking at the starry sky, who do you want to remember in the dark? Facing the light of the morning light, whose name is it calling in your sleep?

Ziyu bit her lip, don't worry, you will forget about him sooner or later. And I will always be with you, because you are my only sister!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Xu Xian saw Princess Roujia again, his heart was full of thoughts, but he didn't have time to think about it in detail, so he had to deal with the palace test in front of him before making plans.

Gongsheng underwent a routine inspection in the side hall before being taken to the Chaoyang Palace, which is the main hall where the golden dragon is entrenched, and the world is commonly known as the Jinluan Palace.

The tributes went in with their heads bowed, shouting "long live", bowing their heads and bowing, but no one dared to look at the true face of the Son of Heaven. Although Xu Xian knelt down with the crowd, he glanced at it with the eyes of heaven, and he was just an old man in a dragon robe, which reminded Xu Xian of the movie he watched in his previous life, Chow Yun-fat in "The City is Full of Golden Armor", which is about like this.

The eunuch sent an edict, the tributes sat down separately, the Son of Heaven personally asked questions, testing the knowledge of all the scholars, and when the tributes began to answer the questions, the emperor himself had turned the bead curtain and left the Golden Palace. The emperor said that there are endless important things to be dealt with, and the examiners are responsible for such things as invigilation. is the final exam paper, and the emperor generally does not look at them one by one.

If Xu Xian is just an ordinary tribute student, it is not impossible to pass the test in the dark. But his reputation is too loud, and now some people have called him "the first genius of Great Xia", and ten out of ten emperors will personally see it, and they can't be sloppy.

Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh, and finally understood what it meant to be "tired".
