This villain has become a ghost

"You're so smart, you figured that out."

Nangong Mingzhu smiled softly, carried her to the bed gently, and then turned over on the bed with ease, holding her in his arms, and then leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Then... I'll reward you by letting you take advantage of me for a little longer. Just sleep like this."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

What a bunch of nonsense, and how thick-skinned he is, it's truly amazing.

...But she's almost gotten used to it.

After a long time, the candle burned out and the dim light gradually turned into darkness.

"The Spring Examination will be held in a few days, so we can put the matters of the General's Mansion aside for the time being." Nangong Mingzhu said.

Originally, the power of the humbler families had been gradually rising, but due to the incidents of Wei Yanzhi and Min Caizhe, the aristocratic families still held the upper hand in the court. Last year was not satisfactory, and this year, countless eyes were fixed on the results of this year's imperial examination.

Whether this year marks the beginning of a new era for women to enter the government will be a significant breakthrough, and a series of reforms are still to come.

"I understand what you mean," Yue Liuyun said, "but don't worry, I'm also confident about the general's mansion."

"...As for the Spring Examination, if I fail, I will really be sorry for Shen Yue's careful guidance over the past few days." She said half-jokingly.

In the darkness, Nangong Mingzhu breathed deeply and tightened his arms around her waist, almost suffocating Yue Liuyun.

He said coldly: "...How dare you say that I can do everything he can do. Why don't you come and ask me?"

Yue Liuyun said speechlessly, "Alright, you still ask me to help you review documents every day. Are you trying to say that it's to train my abilities?"

"Isn't it?" Nangong Mingzhu asked back.

Yue Liuyun thought about it and said helplessly: "Alright, if you say it is, then it is."

Nangong Mingzhu smiled coldly, flicked her head, and said in a low voice: "Then you only talked about him and not me."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Yue Liuyun was very impressed and said with heartfelt emotion: "Your Majesty, you are really generous."

Nangong Mingzhu: "Thank you for the compliment."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Yue Liuyun: "Okay, you're welcome."

"..."

The night grew quieter, and the two chatted for a while longer.

I don’t know how long it took, but sleepiness gradually started to set in.

Yue Liuyun was held tightly in his arms, feeling his hot chest and heavy heartbeat, and she no longer felt cold in this long night.

Since coming to this world, there have been too many variables. She always feels that there is a sword hanging over her head at all times, and it is only a matter of time before it falls, so she dare not relax at all.

It seems that only at this time will I feel a little relieved.

The air was quiet and the night gradually passed. In such a beautiful night, neither of them spoke anymore. Instead, they indulged in the tranquility and peace of the moment and fell asleep in each other's arms.

The weather is very good in spring, which is a good time for scholars in Dongdu to go out for an outing. However, today is different. Students from all over Daying have gathered in Dongdu to take part in the imperial examination. The inns that were originally crowded have gradually become empty, and students have rushed to the Imperial Examination Hall.

The sons of the aristocratic families rode in carriages, dressed in brocade clothes, and all of them looked very dignified. They had been very high-profile in previous years, but it seemed that because of the lessons learned from last year, the supervision of the Imperial Examination Hall was very strict, and they did not dare to act rashly.

The students from poor families came here exhausted and a little nervous. They had studied hard for many years, all waiting for "the beginning of their success and the rise to the blue sky".

Although the power of the aristocratic families is far greater than that of the poor families nowadays, any discerning person can see that His Majesty intends to support the poor families.

Even if those noble children's families are currently in power, if they are uneducated and fail in the imperial examinations, Your Majesty will not employ them because of their fathers' mistakes.

At least in today's Daying, success in studying can not only enable children from poor families to achieve class transition, but also maintain the children from wealthy families' pursuit of their family's glory.

Yue Liuyun said goodbye to Liu Zeyin and Yin Yun who had escorted her here, and entered the Imperial Examination Hall with the other candidates.

Xia Ruzhi was ordered to maintain order. He was dressed in green and expressionless, exuding a majestic, murderous and unapproachable aura. It seemed that he had put away his usual naive, love-brained image, and looked... really like that.

She inadvertently glanced at the backs of the girls who had entered the Imperial Examination Hall before her, and guessed that Nangong Wanqing might be waiting in the dark.

The Spring Examination is a big event, so it is appropriate to be cautious.

The entire Ministry of Rites is responsible for ceremonies, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and worshiping saints from ancient times to the present.

In room number.

Yue Liuyun stared at a thick stack of test papers, holding the pen and fell into deep thought.

According to the rules, the cell was locked and guarded outside. A few candles illuminated the small room.

Unlike modern exams, she had to finish all the questions in one go before handing in the paper.

She could answer the reformed mathematics and biology questions without even thinking, after all, she was a woman who had conquered the college entrance examination.

However, the Chinese language is still under reform. If it is written in vernacular Chinese, it will not only be difficult to write in a stylish way, but it will also be difficult to convince the examiners who are accustomed to reading classical Chinese.

but……

Yue Liuyun's eyes moved slightly, and he was silently calculating in his heart.

Was she really stupid? She came here and did these things to achieve her goal, to prevent the destruction of this world, and opening up a career for women was a crucial step...

She has read many books. Since the wisdom of her ancestors is available, why shouldn't she learn from it?

After a while, Yue Liuyun already had the answer in his mind. He took a deep breath, organized all the knowledge in his mind, and wrote quickly.

-

A large number of examinees' papers are encrypted through the transmission process of receiving behind the curtain, sealing, copying, reading and dividing the papers with red and black ink, and then handed over to the collection office and handed over to multiple officials from the Beijing Hall, Hanlin Academy and Zhanshi Mansion for approval.

Before the officials started to get busy, a gentle and kind figure walked into the room. It was already dusk, and the man was stepping on the golden light and shadows, standing with his hands behind his back, revealing a bit of majesty.

"Your humble servant greets His Excellency, the Grand Tutor."

Several people hurriedly saluted respectfully.

After all, although Shen Yue was called Taifu, he was doing what the prime minister and the chief censor should do, and he could be considered an important official among the important officials in the court.

"No need for formalities," Shen Yue nodded. "I am merely following His Majesty's orders to come and take a look at the general situation of this year's examination papers."

"Master Taifu, please."

Shen Yue lowered his head to look at the paper, turning page after page with his slender fingers, frowning and thinking.

For a while, he paused on a certain page, seemingly lost in thought.

【…

If we are surrounded by thousands of horses and thousands of troops, and we are besieging an isolated city, we cannot match their courage and strength. Only by planning and being subtle can we achieve success.

...]

Shen Yue's lips suddenly curled up.

This is interesting.
