The Divine Doctor Son of the Female Master

Chapter 171 Palace Examination

As if he understood the meaning in his friend's eyes, Ruan Jinan's heart skipped a beat. Finally, he spread his hands, leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back and stared at the ceiling without blinking.

It's just... quite embarrassing.

.......

Seeing this, Yan Yunqi touched his nose and coughed lightly, "Uh... Actually, you didn't mean it..."

"......Well, I was drunk at that time and definitely didn't mean it, but I actually asked you stupidly just now. Tell me, isn't this just bringing up something that is not relevant......" Ruan Jinan said with a droopy face and a gloomy expression.

"No wonder I was met with a pair of fierce eyes when I approached..."

Sighing repeatedly, Ruan Jinan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's just talk about our own things. At worst... at worst, I'll apologize to her carefully next time we meet. We can't let this matter affect our mood now."

Yan Yunqi thought about it, so.

And there is something important to do today.

So the two of them continued drinking and chatting, looking down from time to time.

As time passed, the number of people in the place where the list was located gradually decreased. During this period, no secret guards came to report. It seemed that the situation had been under control long ago.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Luo Qingzhi appeared in front of him.

"Azhi, is the problem resolved?" Seeing Luo Qingzhi appear, Yan Yunqi's eyes lit up and he moved his body and wanted to get up.

Luo Qingzhi quickly stepped forward and hugged him, and helped him up, explaining softly, "Well, the net has been pulled in, and all the fish have been caught."

"That's good." Yan Yunqi nodded, glad that nothing happened.

Rubbing his head, Luo Qingzhi saw that it was still early for lunch, so she said, "Come on, Ayun, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"Where are you going?" the voice asked curiously.

"secret."

"Ok."

Seeing the two of them showing off their affection in front of him without any scruples, and his friend's heart and eyes were full of his family's man, Ruan Jinan could not help but be speechless, rolling his eyes and said unhappily: "Hey, you two should be careful, there are people here?"

Hearing this, Luo Qingzhi glanced at her and said, "If you are envious, find one yourself."

"I..." Ruan Jinan's eyes widened in dissatisfaction.

"Azhi, why are you teasing Jin'an?" Yan Yunqi saw his friend being scolded, and glared at Luo Qingzhi, then invited Ruan Jin'an: "Jin'an, let's go together."

"Humph, that's more like it." Ruan Jinan was comforted by his friend's invitation and smiled gently for a moment. But when he looked at Luo Qingzhi, he couldn't help but curled his lips: "I didn't expect you to be so stingy. After all, I am not only a friend of Yunqi, but also a guest who came from afar. Are you going to leave me alone like this?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingzhi shrugged nonchalantly, "I haven't told you that you always disturb my Ah Yun."

What?

When Ruan Jinan heard this, he could no longer remain gentle and glared at her angrily: "Yunqi, look at her!"

After being hit on the arm, Luo Qingzhi once again met Ayun's warning look, and he also left her arms.

"Okay Jin'an, Azhi took the wrong medicine today. We don't have to pay attention to her. Let's go." After saying that, Yan Yunqi took Ruan Jin'an downstairs, neither of them looking back.

But Shu also hurried forward to support his master.

Unable to enjoy their own world together, Luo Qingzhi touched the tip of her nose, sighed, and hurriedly chased after him.

-

Three days passed in a flash.

At the morning court session that day, Luo Qingzhi, dressed in a black and gold imperial robe, sat on the throne with a golden crown on his head. His brows revealed an imperial aura that was majestic without even being angry. On both sides of him stood the civil and military officials, all with solemn expressions on their faces.

When the time came, the aunt in front of the palace shouted: "His Majesty has ordered that the new students come to the palace--"

As the drums and music sounded, shaking the sky, fifteen students dressed in brand new robes and with solemn expressions walked in one after another from the outside of the palace gate.

Entering the hall, all the civil and military officials were silent. The atmosphere was solemn and dignified, so the students did not dare to move. After they stood still, they knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Luo Qingzhi spoke: "Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Take a seat."

"Yes!"

Luo Qingzhi waved her hand, signaling Fei Ling to bring people forward to distribute the papers.

The students sat in front of the tables one by one, each with their heads down, not daring to look any further, let alone at the emperor above. The brave ones were relatively calm, while the timid ones secretly pinched their thighs to calm themselves down, trying not to be nervous.

At this time, a cold voice sounded from above, "Today's palace examination has a total of three questions, each question takes half an hour. I hope all students will answer them seriously and do their best."

Luo Qingzhi glanced around and said calmly: "The first question is to discuss the importance of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame to national governance."

As soon as he finished speaking, with the sound of "start", all the students buried their heads in thought. For a moment, the only sound in the hall was the rustling of paper and pens.

The hall was silent, and all the officials stared at the students who were writing furiously, either with curiosity or disdain.

At the beginning, time passed quickly and half an hour went by quickly.

When Fei Ling said the time was up, all the students put down their pens and breathed a sigh of relief. Two eunuchs handed the collected test papers to Fei Ling, who then presented them to the emperor.

A quarter of an hour later, the second question began, titled: "How to cultivate the moral character and ability of officials."

......

The third question is: "Write a poem on the theme of spring scenery, expressing your own expectations and aspirations."

Throughout the morning court session, after receiving the questions, the students all lowered their heads in deep thought. The air was filled with a tense yet hopeful atmosphere. Every minute and every second seemed to pass by in an instant, yet seemed to be infinitely stretched, leaving one breathless.

As time goes by, some students have become confident, writing fluently and with a lot of ideas; others are frowning, thinking hard, with beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads.

Luo Qingzhi looked through the first and second questions of each student's test paper, occasionally lowering her eyes to look at the students who were concentrating on doing the questions seriously.

Even the ministers were staring at them intently, secretly evaluating each student's performance in their hearts.

Finally, the signal for the end of the palace examination sounded, and all the students stopped writing. Their tense nerves relaxed a little at this moment, but their hearts were still filled with anticipation and anxiety.

Then, the students stood up at the same time, straightened their clothes, knelt down and bowed respectfully to the emperor, then went out of the hall and waited for the emperor's final announcement.

At this moment, not only the other students, but also Shen Xizhi and Fei Buli, all had their eyes fixed on the tightly closed door, as if they wanted to see the scene inside through it, and their heartbeats became more and more rapid.

Half an hour later, a loud voice came from the hall: "The results of this imperial examination have been determined, and the students taking the palace examination are summoned to enter the hall!"

The students entered the hall again and knelt on the ground: "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor!"

Luo Qingzhi looked at them, her lips curled slightly, as if she was particularly satisfied with the students this time, and then she slowly said: "I have seen your performance in the palace examination. You are talented and quick-witted. You are all pillars of the country."

"Today, I announce the results of the palace examination as a reward!"
