Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Just after sitting down for a while, a guard came to report, "Fourth Madam, the third master and others are here outside the mansion." Li Ru: "Okay, I got it." She put down the work in her hands and hurried out the door.

Outside the gate of the Chai Mansion, Fu Chaoxia arrived in a carriage. She was exhausted from traveling day and night. When she got off the carriage, her legs could hardly stand, and Jiale helped her. Li Ru hurried out, "Third brother, your sister-in-law is here. Come in quickly, it's cold." Fu Chaoxia: "That's right. The children are also frozen." Li Ru: "Qinqi, you two go and arrange accommodation. Turn up the heating fire to make the house warmer." Qin: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." There were no maids, not many girls, and all the work was done by the guards. He was good at making fire, he did it often. Li Ru: "So many people have come. Let's arrange it upstairs in the backyard." Qin: OK. Li Ru then ordered, "Go to the storeroom and get cotton-padded clothes for everyone to change into." Qin Qi: "Okay, ma'am. I'll do it right away." Qi: "I'll go to the kitchen and have them cook. Everyone, take your clothes and go to the bathhouse to take a bath and get rid of the cold." Li Ru: "Yes, I forgot. We have hot water in our big boiler. Let's go."

There weren't many girls, but many boys. Jiale arrived at the main hall, saw that no one was there, and said, "Sister-in-law, where are they?" Li Ru smiled and said, "They've all entered the palace to participate in the competition, whether it's civil or military." Jiale realized that he was late and wanted to participate too. Li Ru looked at the third brother and said, "If you want to go, there's still time to eat something. There's still a day." Jiale said, "Okay." Li Ru said, "Third brother, there's no need to rush. Eat something and take a bath. There are military uniforms in the Imperial Treasure Room. Change into them and have the guards take you there."

Jiale: "Okay." Fu Zhaoxia: "Aren't you tired?" Jiale smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. Even if I'm not tired, I would like to try it. I don't want to be a general. I just want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. But I also want to know where my strength lies?" "Okay, you can go, husband. Let's eat first." "Well, you eat too."

The meal arrived quickly. Jiale ate, showered, and changed into his military uniform. Fu Zhaoxia and Li Ru looked at him and both approved. He looked like a different person. Fu Zhaoxia's eyes were filled with surprise. "Go, my husband." Li Ru called the guards to see him off. "Okay." The guards brought horses, and they all rode off.

At the palace gates, guarded by imperial guards, Ye Heng saw a guard from the palace and hurried in to report. Hearing this, he said, "Let him in." He whispered to the emperor, "Third uncle is here and wants to compete, too." The emperor was delighted. Great Yan was teeming with talent. "Okay, approved." When Jia Le appeared in the hall, many ministers were stunned. What a handsome young man! The veteran ministers all wanted to know who he was and who he would be their son-in-law. Ye Heng called out, "Third uncle, sit here." "Okay!" He landed with a resounding, sonorous voice. "You'll be in the next round. Are you feeling alright after just getting here?" Jia Le smiled, "No problem." Guo Guo, sitting nearby, said, "My third uncle is just so handsome!" Ye Heng smiled, "Yes." "If he doesn't act on TV, I'd be remiss. It's such a loss! My third uncle earns millions just for posing. Oh, what a loss, what a loss!" Guo Guo complained. The emperor, perched high above, watched Guo Guo mutter and asked, "Guo Guo, what are you talking about? Tell me."

Guoguo confidently said, "My third uncle lost money and earned less." The emperor laughed heartily. The palace was resting, awaiting the next round of competitions. First, the martial arts competition would be held, with the time recorded. After the literary examination, the best candidate would be selected. Unexpectedly, so many people showed up. The martial arts competition would last all day, and participants would arrive soon.

That evening, Jiale spoke to Huangbao. Jiale whispered, "Huangbao, do you want to be a general?" Huangbao nodded. "Okay." After the two of them exchanged greetings, the competition began. It was truly thrilling. Jiale hadn't expected a child to be so skilled in martial arts. After a few words, Jiale withdrew. The crowd around him sighed, "I didn't expect everyone to be defeated by a child." The emperor said, "The martial arts competition is over. Let's eat first. Let's all eat in the palace. After dinner, we will continue with the cultural examination."

Jiale whispered to Yeheng, "I won't participate. I'm going back." Guoguo called out, "Third Uncle?" Jiale said, "I just want to see how good my martial arts are. As long as I can go to the battlefield, that's fine." Yeheng: "Okay, I'll send someone to take you back." "Okay."

Guoguo, along with her children and family, sat down at a table in the main hall, awaiting their meal. Guoguo glanced around and quietly offered her family a pork elbow. "Take some time for now," the hungry children began to eat. "There's more to eat." Guoguo then brought out a large bag of bacon and milk. Huanhuan and Hengheng ate everything. By the time the imperial kitchen arrived, Guoguo's table was almost full.

The food in the palace was delicious and everyone ate some more. The fourth brother shouted, "We've eaten too much. I'm going out for a walk." Ye Heng asked the secret guards to protect him in secret.

After dinner, the hall was quickly cleared, each person had a table, and the competition was ready. The emperor sat on the high platform in the center of the hall and said in person: "This time it will be different from previous years. The topic is the policy essay - The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital. Let's begin. The time is two hours."

Grinding ink is a hassle, so Guoguo prepared some carbon pens in advance, which are very useful. Ye Heng personally distributed two to each person. The prince distributed paper. ...

The tryouts were going on at night...
