Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

The people at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall heard the noise and looked over.

Then I saw a fleet of cars with very luxurious configuration.

A dozen servants led the way. Qi Heng rode a large, majestic horse, and behind him was a high-end carriage.

This card is definitely the biggest among those who came to participate in the examination today.

"This is a wedding, my wife and neighbors seem guilty. Should I get up or take the imperial examination?"

The heartless Sheng Rulan immediately laughed.

After hearing this, Sheng Molan, who was beside her, said provocatively.

"The current emperor loves Princess Pingning the most, so no matter how grand the ceremony is, it doesn't matter."

Besides envy, there seemed to be a hint of pride in their voices.

I don't know what she's so proud of.

Sheng Rulan never backed down when faced with Sheng Molan's provocation and immediately retorted.

"As you said, it's clear that it's better to have a wife as your mother."

As soon as these words came out, Sheng Molan's face immediately turned ugly.

Elsewhere, Lu Xiao and the others were also discussing the commotion caused by Duke Qi.

Lu Xiao just shook his head slightly.

"Princess Pingning is so proud of herself that she's made such a big scene today. If Yuan Ruo doesn't pass the exam, it would be a disgrace to her."

Qi Heng had been very well behaved recently and no longer pestered Sheng Xiaoliu, so Lu Xiao's relationship with him had improved a lot.

This was truly considered for him.

After all, he was familiar with the future plot and knew that Qi Heng would fail the exam this time.

He hadn't previously put his full attention into studying, and even though he had changed a lot in the last month or two, knowledge wasn't something that could be improved in just a few days.

Therefore, Lu Xiao estimated that he would most likely fail the exam again this time.

But next time it should be fine.

At this time, Sheng Quan spoke up.

"It's almost time, you guys should hurry in and don't miss the exam."

As soon as these words were spoken, several women from the Sheng family expressed their blessings.

Sheng Rulan spoke first: "I wish my two brothers and brother-in-law success in the imperial examinations."

(Li Zhao) Then Sheng Molan said: "My two brothers and brothers-in-law, you have leaped over the dragon gate and won the first prize in the imperial examination."

Both of their congratulatory speeches were elegant and graceful.

Sheng Xiaoliu said with a smile, "Then I wish you two brothers to drink plenty of water and have a good rest in the exam room."

This made everyone laugh.

Lu Xiao immediately said, "Okay, then we must drink plenty of water and rest more in the examination room."

After laughing, the three of them carried their belongings and entered the Imperial Examination Hall.

Still the same cliché.

It has to go through layers of inspection.

Fortunately, those who were able to participate in the imperial examination were already experienced, so no one felt uncomfortable with it.

After the examination, we were assigned to examination rooms.

However, the examination room environment of the joint examination was much better than that of the provincial examination.

Each candidate will be assigned a separate small room.

Although the area is small, it has a bed and a table.

This alone is already countless times better than the provincial examination.

Soon, with the sound of a few bells, the examination officially began.

Chapter 186 Angry Zhao Zhen

The examination lasts for three days.

The three days passed quickly.

It was gone in almost the blink of an eye.

Three days later, Lu Xiao, Sheng Changbai and others walked out of the Imperial Examination Hall in high spirits.

At the door, Sheng Quan's family and Sheng Shulan had been waiting eagerly for a long time.

As soon as Lu Xiao came out, Sheng Shulan immediately came to greet him.

"Husband, how did you do on the exam?"

I guess everyone waiting at the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall today would start by saying this.

There were many people here, so Lu Xiao didn't say anything arrogant.

He just gave his wife a reassuring look.

Sheng Shulan immediately understood, and after three days of worry, she finally put her mind at ease.

On the other side, Gu Tingye and Qi Heng were also surrounded by their families.

The difference is that the people surrounding Gu Tingye are his wet nurse and servant.

Surrounding Qi Heng were the Duke of Qi and his wife.

However, if Gu Tingye paid attention, he would definitely see a very strange carriage parked on the street.

At this moment, a corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, and a pair of eyes were silently watching him from inside.

Alas, the relationship between Gu Tingye and his father is really hard to describe.

At the Sheng family's side, after welcoming his two sons, Sheng Quan said to Lu Xiao.

"I've booked a banquet at Fanlou. We're all family. You and Shulan should come over today."

Lu Xiao naturally wouldn't refuse this.

Everything else has been fine these past three days, except for the taste in my mouth.

Even the food at the imperial examinations was still not much better.

In this way, the two families came together to Fanlou and held a welcoming banquet.

However, in the following days, most people were in a state of suspense.

A few days later.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Song Dynasty.

The night light in the imperial study had not been on for a long time.

And today it suddenly lit up.

In the study, although Zhao Zhen was holding a book in his hand, his mind was not on it.

From time to time he would urge the eunuchs around him.

"Why haven't you come yet? Why haven't you come yet?"

Honestly, if he wasn't the emperor, the eunuch would have wanted to hit him.

But even though he had answered this question many times, the eunuch still had to answer patiently.

"Your Majesty, it will take time for the others to sort out the results. I think they will be here soon."

Finally, after a long while, a report was finally heard from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang is here."

This Lord Wang is the chief examiner of this examination.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Zhen immediately put down the book in his hand and said.

"Please come in."

A moment later, the neatly dressed Lord Wang walked in cautiously.

He walked very lightly, as if afraid of damaging the floor of the imperial study.

It was really hard for him, a fat man who weighed at least 160 kilograms.

I saw Qi Er San Ling abandon his duties and walk to the desk, then he immediately bowed.

"Greetings to His Majesty."

Zhao Zhen asked directly, "What are the results of this year's imperial examination? How many people passed?"

The number of candidates admitted to each examination is not fixed.

Normally there are 200 to 300 people, but sometimes there are 400 to 500 people.

It's all common stuff.

The key point is how well the students write their essays.

Lord Wang immediately said, "Your Majesty, there are a total of 237 successful candidates this year. The list is here. Your Majesty, please review it."

After saying this, he took out a list from his sleeve.

The eunuch beside him hurried forward to take the list, and then respectfully handed it to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zhen picked up the list and opened it directly.

I immediately saw the name at the top of the list.

The moment that name appeared, a smile appeared on his face.

"Good, good! I was right about him."

Lord Wang and the eunuch naturally had no idea what he was laughing at.

But after hearing this laughter, the two of them felt much more relaxed.

It's clear that the government is very satisfied with this list.

Zhao Zhen's gaze lingered on the first name for a long time before he continued reading.

Then he saw Sheng Changbai's name in the thirteenth position.

He was also impressed by this name.

He's a steady kid.

So he nodded silently.

“Well, this one is also excellent.”

Going down further, he saw Gu Tingye's name again.

Then he praised approvingly, "Well, this child of Gu Aiqing's is quite good. It's really not easy for a military general to have such talent."

But at this moment, the eunuch next to him suddenly said.

"Your Majesty, there's a rumor circulating in Bianjing today that's specifically related to Young Master Gu."

The eunuchs who served the emperor could not be just ordinary eunuchs.

Zhao Zhen had a very secret intelligence department that was dedicated to gathering intelligence from all over the world for him.

He dared not speak of other places, but within the city of Bianjing, any movement related to the royal family could not be hidden from his eyes and ears.

The eunuch in front of him is the head of this intelligence department.

When he saw Gu Tingye's name, he immediately remembered the information his subordinates had reported to him today.

This information happens to be related to Gu Tingye.[]

As a man loyal to the royal family, he naturally couldn't keep this information secret at this time.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen became curious and asked.

"What's the rumor?"
