Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 335 Palace Exam
Because Li Shimin personally presided over the palace examination, all the messengers in the Gongyuan were replaced by the Habayashi Army. A pair of three-meter-long imperial guards with bright armor and swords across their waists continued from the entrance of the Gongyuan to the main hall.

Holding a schoolbag, Fang Yiai stood in the long queue in front of the gate of the tribute courtyard, and was inspected by the Imperial Army together with all the tribute students.

Looking at the hall of the Gongyuan, Fang Yiai's emotions were agitated. Although this was not the first time he met Li Shimin, it was the most disturbing time in history.

"The Holy Majesty will personally preside over the palace examination this time, and I'm afraid he will take special care of me. If he sees some mistakes, what should I do?"

Just as Fang Yiai was standing there, bowing her head in thought, she suddenly felt someone pushing her neck, and then there was a burst of laughter in her ears, "Why is the top of the list, why are you so dazed for no reason?"

Fang Yiai looked back, and saw that this person was the eldest grandson Jin who would try but was defeated by her.

After seeing Fang Yiai's life and death documents before, Changsun Jin made up his mind that he was "he Zudao". At this moment, he happened to be standing back and forth with Fang Yiai. Fan.

"He Bangshou, I heard that your second younger brother Fang Jun won the first prize in the martial arts competition. I think this is inseparable from the explanation of the top ranking?" As he said, according to the rumors in the market, Chang Sunjin reached out and slapped Fang Yiai's face vigorously. In the back of his heart, he wanted to see if "He Zudao" was Fang Jun who was stabbed to the vitals by his elder brother with a short halberd.

The old wound on the back of Fang Yiai's heart had just been covered with golden sores last night. At this moment, she was slapped hard by Changsun Jin, and she felt severe pain and heat from the wound.

"Hiss!" Fang Yi'ai frowned, took a deep breath secretly, and then circulated her dantian's true energy to forcefully suppress the burst wound, lest the blood stains soak her clothes and be found out.

Fang Yiai endured the severe pain of the old injury and the unhappiness in his heart, turned to look at Changsun Jin, and said coldly: "Brother Changsun, why are you talking so weirdly? Fang Jun won the champion of martial arts because of his real talent and real learning. Come to think of it. It is not a gentleman's action to hurt someone behind your brother's back."

Changsun Jin sneered, and murmured: "The first night in the prison to poison and kill Xiao Rui, could it be that a gentleman did it?"

As he said that, Changsun Jin covered his face with his sleeves, and said with a smirk: "The martial arts at the top of the list is so superb, why did Cai Shaobing run away? Could it be that the injury in the back of his heart has not healed, which affected the behavior of killing people and stealing money at the top of the list?" ?”

After the words fell, Changsun Jin's eyes flashed a trace of treachery, and he stretched out his hand again to pat the back of Fang Yiai's heart.

Before his palm fell, Fang Yiai's slender fingers clasped his wrist, looked at his eldest grandson, Fang Yiai said coldly: "What did Brother Changsun say? Why can't He understand?"

Fang Yiai shook off Changsun Jin's palm vigorously, seeing a large open space in front of him, he didn't want to get entangled with this sinister villain, so he strode towards the middle of the tribute courtyard.

The eldest Sun Chong held the examination basket in his hand, looked at Fang Yiai's leaving back, the darkness in his eyes was fleeting, and thought: "Fang Jun, let's see how long you can last. Even if you win the first prize in the palace examination, in the future Qiong The alias was exposed at the Lin Banquet, you will still be bound and executed, so what's the matter if I take the second place for the time being?"

After climbing the steps of the Gongyuan, Fang Yiai was immediately stopped by four guards.

The imperial guards looked at this handsome man, and exchanged glances with each other. They looked through the schoolbag that Fang Yiai was carrying, and checked whether there was any tape hidden in his clothes. After a while, they took Fang Yiai away. Checked inside and out.

"Let's go!"

Fang Yiai took the schoolbag returned by the imperial army, and after tidying up her clothes, she walked into the tribute courtyard.

When all the Shizi entered the Gongyuan, a golden gong sounded, and the vermilion gate of the Gongyuan was immediately closed by the imperial army, and a door seal notice with the vermilion seal on the inside and outside was pasted on both sides.

Fang Yiai looked at the main hall of the Gongyuan with the gate closed, knowing that Li Shimin was in it, his palms were already full of sweat, but his expression and mood were as usual, and he was not as nervous as he was when he took the exam , hesitated.

"You must do your best in the palace examination, just like what Xie Yaohuan and Ma Zhou said, only if I win the number one title on the gold list, my vitality will increase."

Recalling Xie Yaohuan and Ma Tuesday's repeated advice to her before, Fang Yiai raised her head to look at the blue sky, sighed silently and thought, "Let's obey the destiny and do your best. Now that this is a joke. It's a bit too much. Big!"

Just as Fang Yiai was complaining about herself behind her back, the doors of the main hall opened all at once, and then an inner courtier in sea blue official clothes and holding a fly broom walked out of the main hall slowly and stood on the steps in front of the door.

Bai Jian looked around at the group of testers under the steps, and after finding Fang Yiai's figure among them, she frowned slightly, and then said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, all testers enter the palace!"

Fang Yiai lined up to climb the steps, and was about to take off her robe to enter the main hall, when she saw the slight change in Bai Jian's eyes out of the corner of her eye.

Startled, Fang Yiai paused slightly, turned to look at Bai Jian, and saw the old eunuch looked down, and then silently said two words from his bare mouth, "Do your best!"

Looking at each other, Fang Yiai caught a long-lost look in Bai Jian's eyes. He had seen this kind of look in the eyes of Hou Balin, Cheng Chubi, Luo Tong and others. It was a sincere look towards friends. look.

Encouraged by Bai Jian, Fang Yiai's anxiety eased up, and she walked quickly into the main hall, Fang Yiai thought to herself: "Mr. Bai helped me twice and three times, could it be because I treated my eye disease with him before?" ? Or do you regard me as a real friend? He has lived in the palace for a long time and is scheming, and his state of mind is by no means comparable to that of Hou Balin and others, but it is a little unpredictable."

While lowering his head in thought, Fang Yiai walked forward slowly. When he came back to his senses, he saw that there was no one beside him. The pilots who had entered the main hall with him before were all standing behind the main hall door. They looked at the leader of the commoner list in amazement, except Changsun Jin and Xiao Jingming, the rest of the people were all sweating because of "He Zudao".

Fang Yiai noticed something strange, turned her head and looked behind her, and saw that everyone was standing close to the door with solemn faces and their backs stopped, she couldn't help being very curious, and looked forward without knowing it, and immediately saw sitting on the stage, holding hands Zhan looked at his own Li Shimin with a smile.

"broken!"

Looking into Li Shimin's eyes, Fang Yiai yelled inwardly that he was not good, and he realized that he was not well behaved, so he quickly turned over and took a small step to stand with the testers. It was this small mistake that made this The "top of the civilian list" broke out in a cold sweat.

"Fang Jun! You are still so irritable! Today is the examination by His Majesty himself, how can you still think about other things!"

Fang Yiai cursed secretly, holding her schoolbag and puffing her chest out, staring straight at the desk in front of her, she dared not even look at Li Shimin.

Sitting on the high platform, Li Shimin looked at Fang Yiai who looked a little flustered, and secretly spat: "Why is this kid so sloppy today? Could it be that he has something on his mind? Could it be that he poisoned Xiao Rui and assassinated Cai Shaobing? Forget it As long as he wins the first prize, the case will be dismissed lightly."

Halfway through his thoughts, the doubts that had been lingering in Li Shimin's heart for a long time emerged from his mind again, "I hope that He Zudao has nothing to do with Fang Jun, otherwise I will live up to my painstaking efforts. Ten thousand deaths will not be apologetic." !"

After a while, Bai Jian, who was in charge of checking whether there were any missing students, walked slowly into the main hall, stood in the center of the main hall and said, "Long live, all the 48 students who participated in the palace examination are here."

Li Shimin nodded, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Everyone is the future pillar of the country, so don't be nervous about this palace test, hurry up and find your name to be seated."

Because Li Shimin personally administered the palace examination, he also arranged the seats for the candidates. Fang Yiai and other 48 people carried their schoolbags and test baskets carefully looking for the seats with their names written on them, all with fear He took his seat softly, for fear of losing his manners in front of Tang Taizong.

After some searching, Fang Yiai found in despair that her seat had been specially arranged by Li Shimin directly under the high platform, "The Holy One intends to watch me answer the questions all the time? This seat is so hot!"

After Fang Yi took his seat nervously, after a while, Bai Jianjian led the two young eunuchs and began to distribute the rice paper to be used to answer the questions.

After Bai Jian stretched out her hand to hand the rice paper to Fang Yi'ai, in order to avoid suspicion in front of Li Shimin, she often had too much communication with him, exchanged glances hastily, and then went elsewhere.

Stretching out the rolled rice paper, Fang Yiai frowned slightly, took out the ink cartridge and writing brush from the school bag, dipped the brush in ink, and wrote her name and various detailed information on the first line of the rice paper with the pen.

Just as Fang Yiai wrote the words "He Zudao" in regular script, Li Shimin's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "He Zudao, where is your hometown?"
