Dress up as a queen and start the game with a card drawing system

On April 20, the much-anticipated imperial examination finally arrived as scheduled.

Early in the morning, sedan chairs were parked at the gate of the Theological College.

This is the sedan chair of those scholars who originally lived in Yingchuan City.

Because according to regulations, all talents waiting for examination need to queue up at the gate of the School of Theology.

Yan Xinru wore a long black gauze hat on her head and a veil on her face, covering herself tightly for fear of being seen by these foreign men.

There were also a group of women dressed like her around.

Some women from other places commented disdainfully when they saw them like this.

"It's so tightly covered, it's like you can't see anyone!"

"What a petty person."

"If you are so shameless, why should you take the test? If you are sent out to be a county magistrate in the future, will you cover yourself up like this to solve cases?"

The girls' teasing laughter reached Yan Xinru's ears, which immediately made her feel angry.

If it weren't for her father's grand plan, how could she, the eldest daughter of the Yan family, be exposed in broad daylight and have to associate with a group of untouchables.

However, the mere untouchables are not worthy of her action, there are people who will deal with them.

"Snapped!"

As Yan Xinru expected, a loud slap hit the face of a woman who laughed at them for wearing a curtain hat.

"Who do you think you are? You deserve to laugh at me!"

"Why are you hitting people?"

"Who made your mouth dirty? I'll hit you lightly...ah!"

Before the woman could finish speaking, the other party had already pulled off her hat and slapped her in the face with her backhand.

"You dare to hit me!"

"What? You are only allowed to hit people, but others are not allowed to fight back? Your Majesty's new law governs the world. Which law has this provision?"

"I beat you to death!"

The woman went crazy and rushed towards the other party.

"Crazy woman!"

Not to be outdone, the woman actually fought in the street.

Several women around tried to pull them apart, but were pushed aside.

The male scholars over there couldn't bear to look down upon them.

They were dissatisfied with the fact that this group of women were competing with them for official positions, so they were naturally happy to see each other making a fool of themselves.

There are even some who are more hypocritical. They can't help but shake their heads and sigh, "Hey, these women... are really degrading to gentlemen!"

"What?!"

A female general who led troops to maintain order separated the crowd and pulled away the two women who had rolled to the ground and were quarreling.

"What are you doing?! Who allowed you to go crazy like a shrew in front of the school?"

"Sir, she was the one who made the first move..."

Before she could finish speaking, the female general interrupted, "No matter who makes a move and disturbs the order, both of you will be disqualified from this exam and be sent to prison for strict interrogation."

The woman in the curtain hat was frightened, and she quickly asked in a mournful voice: "My lord, my lord, we just had a quarrel, why are we still in jail?"

The female general said coldly: "Master Liu has received information that a great master has bribed the talents of this examination in order to prevent this examination from being held."

"Therefore, I ask your Majesty to transfer the order and order me to lead the troops to protect you throughout the whole process. You two are openly causing chaos. How do you know that you are not spies sent by other countries? Take them into custody and interrogate them strictly!"

This reason is a bit far-fetched, and it is obviously a deliberate attempt to accuse others.

Moreover, it is a serious crime such as treason!

The two girls were frightened and cried immediately, and said: "Sir, we don't have it. The little girl doesn't dare..."

The female general stopped talking, and the soldiers behind her dragged the two crying girls away.

When all the scholars saw this, they were all frightened.

How can you just quarrel and bicker and become a spy colluding with the enemy?

This crime is too serious!

The female general looked at the other scholars with cold eyes, "Your Majesty's grace is so great that you are lucky enough to gather in Yingchuan to take the exam today, but His Majesty's grace is not for you to squander and waste like this! If there are still people who don't cherish this opportunity to take the exam, I don’t mind having a few more reform-through-labor prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.”

These words directly intimidated everyone.

Some scholars who were bribed by the Qing Party no longer dared to act rashly.

After all, although I agreed to collect money to cause trouble, the premise is that my own safety cannot be endangered.

If you disturb the order, you will be thrown into jail. No matter how much money you pay, they will not do it!

Yan Xinru slightly lifted the black gauze blocking her sight in front of her and glanced at the female general.

After this short interlude, the men and women lined up.

Yan Xinru calculated silently in her heart.

According to father's original plan, there shouldn't be so many women who can come to Yingchuan to take the exam.

Because it was difficult for women to travel, and the purge party personnel arranged manpower at various bases passing through to use various means to prevent these female talents from reaching Yingchuan.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty made a sudden decree and sent a special car to pick up everyone.

This hand caught them off guard.

Therefore, in order to reduce the number of female scholar examinations in other areas, the Qing Party came up with this method of causing a scene before entering the examination room.

According to the original plan, those arranged by the Qing Party would secretly provoke the confrontation, causing the fight between the two girls to escalate into a group fight, affecting most of the female scholars.

Who would have thought that the people assigned by His Majesty to maintain order were so powerful. They stopped and intimidated everyone as soon as the conflict started.

It seems that I can only wait until I enter the examination room to see it again.

After everyone lined up obediently, the officials on site counted the number of people correctly, and only then did Liu Qingqing, Yan Jue and other officials in charge of the exam come together.

There were dozens of female scholars in the crowd. Seeing Liu Qingqing standing at the head of the examiners, they guessed that she was the examiner for this examination, and they couldn't help but get excited!

If we win the exam, we will definitely be able to shine like Mr. Liu! Tell these men to bow their heads and obey orders!

"Hello fellow students, I am the consul of Dayu's cabinet, Liu Qingqing, this is Yan Jue, the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Chang, the Minister of Rites..."

Liu Qingqing introduced the ten examiners around her one by one, "We will be in charge of invigilating this examination."

"Thank you, sir!"

All the scholars quickly thanked him.

A woman couldn't help but asked Liu Qingqing: "Sir, are you the examiner this time?"

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing shook her head and said with a smile: "I am not the examiner of this session's examination, but the teacher of the candidates who won the exam."

"what!"

The faces of all the female scholars showed disappointment, while Yan Jue and others around Liu Qingqing looked confused.

Yan Xinru stood at the head of a team and had been paying attention to their conversations and expressions from the moment they appeared.

At this moment, hearing Liu Qingqing's words, she couldn't help but slightly lift the veil in front of her face and look at her father.

Seeing that her father and others had puzzled faces, she felt slightly uneasy.

I'm afraid my father's plan is about to change again!

Liu Qingqing didn't wait for anyone to ask, but she already said: "Everyone, just follow me! You will naturally know when we get to the examination place."

Yan Jue and other officials from the Ministry of Etiquette quickly came to their senses, exchanged glances with each other, and then glanced at Yan Xinru below, signaling her to act according to the situation, then turned around and followed.

A group of scholars walked behind the examiners and found that there were officers and soldiers standing on both sides of the road to clear the road.

After everyone walked in silence for a while, they suddenly found that they had arrived at the west gate of Dayu's Palace.

Yan Jue said: "Master Liu, the palace is right in front of you. Where do you want to take this year's candidates?"

Liu Qingqing smiled and said: "I just want to take them to the palace for examination!"

The palace entrance exam!

Isn't this the kind of treatment that only comes from palace examinations?

Liu Qingqing said: "This is the first time in our dynasty that a female scholar has participated in the imperial examination. It is the first of its kind in Dayu's imperial examination. Therefore, I specially ask for a favor from your majesty for this year's scholars."

"This examination will be conducted by His Majesty himself. If you pass the exam, you will be a disciple of the Emperor!"
