Hefangzhai is a long distance away from Huamanlou's residence in the capital, especially if he has to bypass all kinds of square lanes.

Traveling through many roads, No.2 turned around and continued to follow Lu Xiaofeng to Huamanlou, but was suddenly interrupted by a call and stopped.

Li Xunhuan hastily jumped to the side of No.2, he glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and asked softly: "Second, is this your friend?"

"Well, what are you looking for from me?"

Could it be that Xiuyan has something important to do with him?The recent imperial examination is still very disturbing.

Li Xun Huan shook his head lightly: "No, I just passed by and said hello. By the way, have you checked the list yet?"

Speaking of this, he was very energetic and happy: "Second, you and your eldest brother have both entered, and you are still in the front row."

This kind of joy really empathizes with the people on the list.

The joy of being on the list enveloped them, No.2 was stunned and apologized to Lu Xiaofeng: "Lu Xiaofeng, I can't go with you, can I ask you to help me deliver the cakes to Huamanlou? Definitely pay a visit.”

Lu Xiaofeng agreed without thinking about the trivial things that can be done at any time, and he was originally the No.2 who was invited on a whim.

Lu Xiaofeng was in a hurry to go back and give Huamanlou a taste of this delicious pastry, he just picked up the pastry and ran away, only leaving behind them a fiery back.

A clear laugh came out, Li Xun Huan raised his eyes a little and landed on No.2's meaningful smile.

The smile lasted for a long time, and continued to come to Li Xiuyan. At this time, Li Xiuyan was under a lot of pressure, his body seemed unable to straighten up, and his breathing was also fast and slow.

His figure is also slightly thin, as if he could be blown down by the wind.

"Xun Huan, second, you are here." Seeing them coming, he wanted to be a little more energetic, but he seemed really tired, and it was very difficult to walk just a few steps away.

No.2 felt that it was right for him to come back, and asked him to help a group of his friends and go out to have a good time tonight.

After chatting for a while, Li Yanyuan came to tutor Xiuyan again, so he and Li Xunhuan left here and came to the courtyard to discuss something.After discussing it for a while, they also began to prepare.

It was getting dark, and after dinner, Li Yanyuan went back to the house to rest, No.2 secretly waved at Li Xiuyan and pulled him to the backyard.

With his right hand holding Li Xiuyan's wrist, he smiled and said, "How about we go out to play quietly?"

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about, don't worry, I discussed the countermeasures with Xun Huan this afternoon, and I won't be discovered." Before Li Xiuyan could refuse, he hugged Xiuyan tightly and tapped his toes in the blink of an eye, stepping on the wall , flew over the backyard wall.

The raising and lowering of his heart made Li Xiuyan a little nervous, he stroked his chest lightly and gasped, looking helpless.

After all came out, it would definitely be impossible for the second man to take him back, and it would be difficult to explain himself when he went back from the door, instead he would be exposed as his concealed younger brother.

After struggling for a while, he released himself and let out a long sigh of relief: "Let's go, where do you want to take me?"

No.2 stretched out his finger and shook it: "This is a secret, you will find out later."

After he protected Li Xiuyan and made sure it was correct, he took Xiuyan through countless alleys with lightness kung fu. Xiuyan gently opened his closed eyes and looked down. The lights in the city shone like stars in the sky and were very cute.The wind under him rustled, blowing away all negative emotions such as restlessness and boredom.

Along the way, he didn't feel the fear of falling at all, and the second lightness skill was extremely superb, and it was very stable to lead him to leap.

He rushed to a place he had chosen with a better view and a relatively open space, and then he put Li Xiuyan down.

Tea and pastries have been prepared here, and there is a place to sit.

No.2 picked up the cup and pot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Xiuyan: "Come and enjoy the stars in the sky with me tonight."

"it is good……"

The starry sky is deep and far away, and the stars are densely or sparsely suspended in the sky. No. 2 leaned on the prepared seat and stretched out his arm to point to one of them and began to explain.

It was a very interesting story, Li Xiuyan had never heard of it before, and he didn't know how many times he laughed heartily on the way.

All the fatigue and annoyance disappeared with a smile, and he became more energetic and began to talk about the childhood fun of himself and his younger brother.

"In addition to my younger brother, I also have a cousin. My cousin is a bit indifferent but very well-behaved. I always worry that she will suffer."

Unknowingly, the topic shifted to relatives. Listening to Xiuyan's tone, No.2 admired: "You are such a good brother, um, it's a pity that I don't have any brothers and sisters in my family. Now, I don't even have any relatives."

"I can be your relative." Li Xiuyan said solemnly, sincerely.

No.2 looked a little weird, and suddenly blushed: "Okay."

It was past half of the night, and Li Xiuyan became tired, so No.2 took him back to have a good rest.After this relaxation, Li Xiuyan's mood will be much more comfortable, and the pressure will also subside a lot.

Two days later, he wanted to visit Huamanlou, but was interrupted by a sudden notice.

The re-examination has been advanced, the palace examination has also been advanced, and the entire schedule has been advanced a lot.

After notifying Lu Xiaofeng, he started to prepare, and he was sure to win the second place.

For those who can pass the exam, it is generally not difficult to retake the exam, unless the exam is for a substitute.Without any difficulty, No.2 passed the retest.

The location of the palace examination is still in the Palace of Preserving Harmony in the Forbidden City. He might still be a little nervous if he had never been there before, but now he just wants to finish the examination quickly.After he got the second place, he went to other competitions to get the second place.

Like No.2, Li Xiuyan made it all the way smoothly, leaving only the final imperial examination.

On that day, after being led into the Palace of Preserving Harmony, the palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, and they were able to see Long Yan.

On the surface, the emperor looks very young, and his handsome face is in line with his age, but he exudes a whole body of demeanor that shocks people's hearts. This is the demeanor of an emperor.

What an exciting thing it is to see Tianyan, but at this moment No.2 is thinking about a very classic sentence from Lu Xiaofeng before and after the decisive battle.

"You are a beautiful lady, why do you want to be a thief?"

So, is this emperor the one who said these words?After all, Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, Li Xunhuan and others were all in the same era.

The palace examination was being held in an orderly manner, and the emperor's eyes were always on the examinations below. He immediately took a fancy to No.2, who had no nervous look, smooth movements, and outstanding appearance.

Apart from No.2, there was another person who also attracted him.

That is Li Xiuyan!

The appearances of these two people have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although their answers to the test questions have not yet been released, but seeing their expressions that do not change before the mountain collapses, I am afraid that they have a plan in mind.

After the answers were completed, the eight examiners jointly reviewed and selected ten answer sheets with the most circles and submitted them to the emperor.

After the emperor looked at it carefully, he became more and more satisfied with Li Xiuyan and No.2. It is really difficult for these two people to choose.

One is young and energetic, and the other is calm and gentle like jade. He admires the two different types of people very much, and he can't help being entangled in his heart.

After reading the answer sheets, the emperor asked them some questions one by one with great interest.

When it was Li Xiuyan's turn, the emperor came up with a special problem to test the school.Li Xiuyan's face was calm and calm, and he spoke out his answer in an orderly manner. Every word he said was convincing.

Then, after asking the two of them, it was finally No.2's turn. Li Xiuyan glanced at No.2 from the corner of his eye, and cheered him on in his heart.

Since he had just finished reading No.2's answer sheet, the emperor was very interested in his insights, so he took local materials and asked about some things he wrote.

He is very familiar with these things, and No.2's answer is like a torrent of rivers, which makes it easy for people to grasp the key points, without a word of nonsense.

The emperor listened to No.2's words, looked at his flying expression, and made a decision in his heart.

Li Xiuyan is stable and talented, but if there is no No.2, his appearance is very suitable for Tanhualang.

It's just that now there is No. 2 who has a jade-like face, high spirits, and knowledge, although he is slightly inferior to Li Xiuyan, but has his own unique insights in some aspects, Tanhualang must be him!

After all the examinations were completed, the emperor wrote down the names and surnames of the top three. The chief examiner of the imperial examination took the paper and announced the rank of the imperial examination.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the Hall of Preserving Harmony was so heavy that people couldn't breathe.

Li Xiuyan's palms were a little sweaty, and the first one to announce was the No. [-] candidate—the No. [-] pick.

"Li Xiuyan is number one scholar and ranks first."

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiuyan seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden like a mountain, and his eyes were sore that it seemed that tears were gushing out.In the Palace of Baohe, in front of the emperor, how could he lose his composure, he forcibly held back.

After the No. 2 Scholar came No. [-] and No. [-], the examiner read the No. [-] name, where is the name of No.[-].

After reading Tanhua, No.2's name became known to everyone, which was a surprise to him, beyond his expectations.Although there is no abnormality in his complexion at this moment, he is actually devastated.

It is normal for him to be mentally depressed if he has not been able to achieve his wish after preparing for so long. Even if he is a person who refuses to admit defeat and never gives up, he still needs some time to adjust his mood.
