The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

The palace examination only examines strategy and questions, which is a subject that Xianggong is good at, as long as...as long as he doesn't dig into the horns.

On this day, Li Xiaodao picked up a pen in the study in the morning and wanted to write something, but he couldn't think of a word, so he paced back and forth in the study;
I couldn't sleep at noon, so I paced in the yard again;

In the afternoon, I went back to the study, wanting to continue writing textbooks in Spanish, but found that I still couldn’t continue writing, so I paced in the study again;

Legs are sore!
When Pei Zhiqi came back, he couldn't help shaking his head with a smile when he saw the lady was still walking around in the yard after dark.

"Sanggong! You're back! I'm so exhausted!" Li Xiaodao finally let out a sigh of relief!

You know, it's not a big deal if you don't do well in the exam, if you say something wrong, the emperor will put you in jail or your head will be moved, that's what she's worried about!
"How was the exam?" Li Xiaodao asked while pouring tea after entering the room with his husband.

"Fun as usual," Pei Zhiqi said with a smile, "Don't worry, lady, I didn't write any radical words."

After putting two cups of tea on the table, Li Xiaodao hurriedly sat down and asked, "Tell me, how was the palace examination? Have you met the emperor? What kind of person is the emperor?"

"Your Majesty is...a handsome young man," Pei Zhiqi replied.

"Then what did the emperor say? Did you talk about the prince or... the southeast province?"

Pei Zhiqi shook his head: "Your Majesty only announced the exam questions today after all the candidates arrived, and said some words of encouragement, and then left without saying anything else."

"Oh..." Li Xiaodao was thoughtful while taking a sip of hot tea.

The two sat and chatted for a while, and the eldest princess and Mrs. Pei also came over, so they prepared snacks and snacks, and everyone sat down and chatted for a long time. After washing and lying on the bed, it was almost midnight.

The lady first went to the bed and slept inside, Pei Zhiqi closed the gauze curtain of the bed, and was about to lie down under the quilt, but was thrown down suddenly.

"Little scholar, you have passed the exam! I will not let you off tonight!" Li Xiaodao aggressively grabbed his husband's collar and finished reading the script in a decent manner, but suddenly he fell limp like a balloon stung by a bee. It fell on the husband's chest.

"What's the matter today, I didn't do anything, why are you so tired?" Li Xiaodao was puzzled, especially after taking a bath, he felt even more tired.

"My lady is too nervous." Pei Zhiqi patted her on the back: "There is nothing to worry about. Whether it's good or bad, it's all in the past. The next thing is to wait for the list to be released tomorrow."

"Hmm... Mr., it's late at night... We should be busy and busy for many days..." Li Xiaodao was muttering, but his articulate words became more and more unclear.

Pei Zhiqi comprehended, and lifted the lady's black hair with her hand, and just as she put her hand on the lady's shoulder, she suddenly heard her muttering again: "Mmm...it smells so good...the bath soap from the Princess Mansion is just fragrant...really... It smells so good..."

Then came the sound of even breathing, and the lady fell asleep lying on her shoulder in such a posture.

Pei Zhiqi smiled helplessly, and stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt to cover the two of them.

It was supposed to be a good night's dream, but tonight I didn't sleep well.

In the early hours of the morning, someone outside the courtyard suddenly shouted loudly:
"News! The prince sent someone to send news!"

Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi were woken up at the same time, ignoring the strange sleeping posture, Li Xiaodao sat up quickly, and said sleepily: "It's really strange, it stands to reason that the letter should be sent to the Fuguo Prince's mansion, how does the prince know about it?" The eldest princess is not in the palace but here?"

I hastily tidied up and went outside to see that the lights in the rooms of the eldest princess and Mrs. Pei were also on.

When everyone got together, the eldest princess read the letter from the prince.

The letter said that he had known about the matter and would return to Beijing in the near future.

Early in the morning on the third day after the palace examination, Pei Zhiqi was already fully dressed, and together with other Jinke scholars, he stood neatly outside the Zhengming Hall of the Imperial Palace, waiting for the announcement of the palace examination.

The moment has finally come.

The entire Xinke Gongshi team consisted of more than 200 people, and no one spoke in silence.

After waiting for a long time, a person came out of the hall, holding the imperial list.

The roll call finally started.

First, there was the top three list, which was very long, with more than 100 people. Pei Zhiqi stood among the candidates and heard the names sung one by one.

He is not among the top three.

After the top three is sung, it is the second top.There are still many people in the second class, but much less than the third class.

Pei Zhiqi listened to them one by one.

Erjia is still without him?
In this way, I actually got into the first class.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, taking the scientific examination for the second time and being able to enter the first class is already a life without regrets.

A top scorer is either the No. [-] pick or the No. [-] pick, or at least the No. [-] pick.

You can't chat casually in the palace, Qin Jin, who was standing in the front row, turned his head slightly to look at Pei Zhiqi, and smiled at him, intending to congratulate him.

Qin Jin was admitted to the top two, for scholars all over the world, this is already a good result that can shine on the lintel.

Pei Zhiqi smiled back at him, bowed and clenched his hands tightly together.

After the Second Class, after a long time, Zhang Shoufu personally came out with the imperial decree to read out the list of the First Class.

"A total of three—"

Zhang Shoufu was full of energy and his voice was loud and clear.

"No.3—Tan Hua—Jinzhou Liu Muliang——"

The tribute scholars couldn't help casting their eyes on this Jinzhou scholar.

"No.2—Second place——Zhang Ye, Liuzhou——"

After Tanhua's name was sung, some of the priests looked at Zhang Ye, while others looked at Pei Zhiqi.

Pei Zhiqi suddenly felt that the world was quiet, the faces of the surrounding tributes gradually became blurred, and the sound of sighing became farther and farther away.

is this real?
I really won the champion?
"No.1—the number one pick—Pei Zhiqi from Jinsha State—"

As soon as the singing was over, the gazes of all the tributes turned to Pei Zhiqi.

Pei Zhiqi only felt his palms sweat slightly, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Then bowed and saluted, and replied: "Student Pei Zhiqi——Xie En——"

"One and three will follow me into the palace, and the rest will rest for a while, waiting for His Majesty to bestow the Qionglin Banquet—"

"Yes!"

The three Yijia Jinshi followed Zhang Shoufu into the Zhengming Palace.

The emperor sat high on the dragon chair.

After the three of them saluted the emperor, they all stood upright, waiting for the emperor to ask questions.

"Don't be nervous, the three talents. The exam is over. I just called you here to chat some more gossip." The young emperor smiled, looking majestic and easy to get close to.

Pei Zhiqi stood in the hall, and the emperor asked Tanhua and the second place first, and talked about their life aspirations, what they wanted to do in the future, and if they had any other suggestions about the dynasty.

I asked myself last, but it was the same question as the two candidates just now.

Pei Zhiqi answered all of them calmly. She was only nervous when the results were just announced, but she relaxed a lot after the results were released and arrived in the hall.

Because I have come to this hall once during the exam, and the officials in the hall have already been surprised by my appearance during the exam the day before yesterday, and seeing you today, everyone is no longer surprised.

After asking the routine questions just now, Pei Zhiqi thought the questioning was over, but unexpectedly, the emperor on the dragon chair changed his sitting position, put his finger on his chin and asked with great interest: "Zhuangyuan Lang, I heard that you actually Is it my Prince Fuguo's uncle Zhu's biological son who has not met for 20 years? Tell me, how much do you know about Uncle Zhu? What do you think of him?"
