Chapter 293 Imperial Examination
From the first day to the third day of the sixth month of the fifth year of Xiaoxing, the countrywide imperial examinations were held throughout the country of Yan. It lasted for three days, and the number of participants was not as many as expected, but more than 80.00% of the people invited by Xiao Tong participated.Except for some aspiring young people from ordinary families, a large part of them are daughters of aristocratic families. With the implementation of the imperial examination, the previous method of becoming an official through recommendation and family inheritance is abolished. If you want to become an official, you must take the imperial examination. In this way, the women of the aristocratic family have to take the imperial examination. .

From the first day to the third day of junior high school, the three days are the most exciting and quietest in the entire country of Yan. In fact, not only the country of Yan, but also the countries of Qi and Yin are very concerned about this imperial examination, and they all intend to see how this special imperial examination will start. How will it end.

With the Queen's support and Xiao Tong's seat, the result of this imperial examination has inspired most of the people of Yan, disappointed some people, and shocked many people's hearts, including the families who still held hope and fantasy, including Many Qi people and Yin people.

After the three-day closed imperial examination, the test papers of the examinees were immediately sealed and secretly sent to Yandu by special forces from all over the country, and Xiao Tong was responsible for leading the examination papers.

Candidates who left the examination room, some were excited and some were distraught, but at the same time remained silent, and did not say too many bad comments about the imperial examination.Among the lost souls, there are many daughters of aristocratic families. The powerful and powerful people only thought of writing articles on the people who approved the test papers, but they were all stopped by the examinees, shaking their heads and saying, that would not work.

Xiao Tong's selected reviewers are all hand-picked by the queen, and the list of these people will be kept secret forever, and the names and test numbers of their candidates have been sealed and bound when they can see them. A test paper has no identity, and those who try to leave information on the test paper, the test paper will be invalidated, and the reference qualification will be banned on the spot.

Including those who cheat or take the exam on behalf of others, they will not be eligible for the imperial examination in this life, nor will they be eligible to become an official.

On the tenth day of June in the fifth year of Xiaoxing, all the test papers were delivered to Yandu, and it took ten days to mark the papers, and after that, the final results and the candidates' next steps were announced in various places in the following ten days.

On the morning of June 21st in the fifth year of Xiao Xing, Xiao Tong appeared in Prince Su's Mansion with big dark circles under her eyes. She hadn't been back for more than [-] days.

"I'm back." Just after entering the gate of the palace, she fell into a familiar and warm embrace, Mo Li's deep voice came out from her chest beside her ear, Xiao Tong smiled flashing in his eyes, and rubbed him contentedly.

"I'm back." Replied like a sigh, it's not a human job, Xiao Tong kept waking up to express during this time.

"Are you tired? Let's rest first!" Mo Li bent down and hugged Xiao Tong, looking at the glaring dark circles and tiredness on Xiao Tong's face which had become fair again, she was also reluctant to let her walk again.

"I'm exhausted." Xiao Tong hugged Mo Li's neck tightly, and did not forget to bury his head in Mo Li's warm neck. The breath he exhaled made Mo Li's footsteps slightly stagnant.

"Then go to bed!" But don't forget to ask, this time must have eaten breakfast in the palace.

"Can't sleep, baby, I haven't seen the baby for 20 days." Xiao Tong shook her head, thinking about the baby almost went crazy.

"I knew you would say that." Mo Li smiled helplessly.

"He won't forget me, right?" Xiao Tong lost confidence.

"Fool, how is it possible." Mo Li smiled fondly, with a meaningful smile. How could the baby not remember, not to mention that it was impossible not to remember, not to mention that he asked the baby to face each other in their room every morning and night before going to bed. A pillow embroidered with Xiao Tong's portrait greets and reports the daily itinerary.

It was also because of this that the baby calmed down and stopped crying to find Xiao Tong.

"Mother." Sure enough, the baby remembered Xiao Tong very clearly. Xiao Tong, who was waiting for the baby to wake up by the baby's bed, saw his baby opened his eyes and saw her, immediately got up and hugged her, and burst into tears, crying Xiao Tong abandoned him.

Xiao Tong felt distressed, coaxed him for a while, and then he couldn't bear to let go, the baby was also extremely clingy, he didn't even teach Xiao Qingen and Xiao Yunhai every morning, and he wanted to watch Xiao Tong wholeheartedly.

Mo Li looked at the mother and son feeling helpless and distressed, and reminded Xiao Tong several times to take a rest, but Xiao Tong didn't listen, which made Mo Li feel a little bit pissed off in the end. Xiao Tong's love for the baby far surpassed him. Seeing that her eyes were glued to the baby, she stopped looking at him.

In the end, Xiao Tong, who couldn't bear the exhaustion, finally fell asleep, and Mo Li was satisfied. He wanted to take the baby out, but the baby quit. He had to guard Xiao Tong. Mo Li had no choice but to move the business to the room. , Looking at the baby also intends to accompany Xiao Tong.

The baby is very well-behaved, the usual fussiness seems to be another child, just lying quietly beside Xiao Tong and holding her hand.Mo Li raised his head intermittently to see this scene and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. After all, the baby was still scared. The mother who had been with him every day suddenly disappeared for so long. He must be very panicked...

It seems that we still need to pay more attention in the future.

When Xiao Tong woke up, it was already when the lights were on. After dinner, Xiao Tong held the baby and talked to Mo Li. The topic was naturally the result of the provincial examination.

"It was a very successful township examination, a successful start. Although half of them were eliminated, the remaining half are basically usable talents, and there is no shortage of geniuses!" said happily.

"You sent out so many invitations, everyone is a talent, if you can't achieve such results, it will be abnormal." Mo Li knew the credit of Xiao Tong, in his opinion, such a success Of course.

"That's true. According to the actual situation and their performance, one-third of the remaining half will be directly hired in various townships and counties, and the other two-thirds will have to take the state examination and palace examination. No matter which one they are, as long as they have the ability and mentality With a good character, there is room for development." Xiao Tong smiled slightly, "I'm very happy, Mo Li, most of these people come from ordinary families in the past, and there are even people from humble and slave status, and, There are especially a lot of people in Zaitong State, and some of the exceptionally good performers are from the schools of the Zaitong Prince's Mansion."

"I'm happy too. Isn't this all predictable?" Mo Li touched Xiao Tong's cheek.

"I hoped so, but I'm still pleasantly surprised that it came true." Xiao Tong tilted his head and pressed Mo Li's hand, "No matter who they are, I hope they have a good future, including those who go out of our palace. They are not allowed to use their identities for personal gain, and they will never be allowed to affect their future because of my relationship. Mo Li, I am determined to pay attention. I will definitely promote talents and not avoid relatives, and I will try my best to be fair .”

Words like an oath came out of Xiao Tong's mouth, Mo Li could only laugh, his little wife!It has always been like this!
"I believe you will, and will fully support you." Besides full support, what else can he do?

"Mo Li, you are so kind!" Xiao Tong was consummated and happy, put away his serious expression, tilted his head and pecked at Mo Li's palm, and when he looked at Mo Li again, he suddenly hit his deep eyes In the middle, the smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile at the corner of his mouth made Xiao Tong lower his head.

"You idiot! I've thrown myself into a trap..." Xiao Tong's heartbeat accelerated, and she was annoyed and had some inexplicable expectations. In fact, she missed him too.

"Mother." The baby looked at Xiao Tong lowering his head thinking he was looking at himself, so he imitated Xiao Tong, took her hand, and kissed her vigorously.

Xiao Tong's face was covered with black lines, looking at the salivating palms, he couldn't laugh or cry!I couldn't help but think, "This kid did it on purpose..."
