Nanhao, thousands of miles away, was surging undercurrents, while Daqi was calm.

Gu Jue and Chen Qianchen have returned to the capital from Wanlinyuan hunting ground. They are getting closer and closer to Chen Qianchen's hairpin ceremony. The Ganqing Palace is getting busier and busier, especially Gu Jue, and the matters of the hairpin ceremony are basically handled by him.

Now, after the wedding dresses were completed, Gu Jue immediately stared at Chen Qianchen to try out his clothes.

In fact, Chen Qianchen was too lazy to try it, and the steps for the hairpin ceremony were complicated. There were several sets of dresses to wear on that day, so he had to try it for half a day. In her eyes, what was wrong with this half day? Even if you go to the couch to close your eyes and take a nap, it would be better than wasting half a day of time to put on and take off.

But under Gu Jue's supervision, she could only try it out for him one by one. As long as he was happy!

Gu Jue personally discussed with the old nanny of Shangyi Bureau how to change the clothes. The old nanny was frightened. She had been in charge of Shangyi Bureau since Emperor Renzong and served three emperors. She had never seen any emperor ask about this little thing personally. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the queen was indeed favored!

When the old nanny and several palace maids from Shangyi Bureau left the Ganqing Palace, it was already dusk and another day came to an end.

"So tired!" Chen Qianchen said coquettishly, yawning lazily, feeling that trying on clothes was even more tiring than riding a horse and shooting archery.

"If you are tired, you'll sleep for a little longer tomorrow." Gu Jue touched her hair with a chuckle.

"That won't work!" Chen Qianchen raised his chin and suddenly became energetic, "I will send you to the tribute court tomorrow!"

Tomorrow is the highly anticipated examination. Chen Qianchen has been waiting for this day for a full month, and no one can stop her from taking the exam.

At this moment, Amber came in lightly, holding a three-layer test basket with rattan in his hand, and reported: "Empress, I just added realgar to the test basket."

Chen Qianchen quickly took the test basket from Amber, compared the items on the list and looked at it again, and then said, "It seems that there is still a little less dry food. There are three days in the first game. I'd better prepare some pot crust for you. The pot crust is not easy to break."

This small test basket is heavy. In addition to the four necessary study treasures during the exam, there are many other miscellaneous items, such as rice, flour, meat, and other dry food, medicinal materials, incense, rice bowls, tea cups, spoons, chopsticks, benches, bedding, etc., all of which are like Gu Jue is about to go out for a long trip.

This is the first time Chen Qianchen has cleaned up the exam for people. When he thinks of tomorrow's exam, he is in a strange excitement.

She had checked the basket exam many times, but at this moment she couldn't help but want to check and see if there were any gaps. However, her hand was just stuck on the cover of the basket exam exam, and Gu Jue grabbed it.

"You seem to be even more nervous than me." Gu Jue took the test basket, put it aside, and gently embraced her slender shoulder with one hand.

"Of course." Chen Qianchen nodded seriously and smiled with a joking look on his face. "I still expect you to come back from the top scorer in the exam. I am also good at my wife being noble!"

Of course her words were a joke. Even if Gu Jue really took the first place in the imperial examination under the name of "Yin Jiuxia", he would not be able to pass the top scorer. After all, the top scorer was asked by the emperor in the palace examination. Gu Jue could not call him the top scorer himself.

Imagining that scene, Chen Qianchen laughed in Gu Jue's arms and was overjoyed.

With this smile, she forgot about the basketball exam.

The next morning, Chen Qianchen got up before dawn and personally sent Gu Jue to the examination room of the Gongyuan.

Outside the Gongyuan, there were crowds of people, and most of the other candidates were accompanied by relatives and friends to the Gongyuan. Along the way, some tea sheds for wind and rain were set up along the streets along the way for people to rest.

Compared to those candidates who are physically and mentally tense, Gu Jue is quite comfortable, with a leisurely smile on the corner of his lips.

He raised his hand and stroked Chen Qianchen's cheek, coaxed the little girl and said, "You go back earlier and come and pick me up the day after tomorrow."

Chen Qianchen smiled obediently: "I'll leave when you go in."

Chen Qianchen's pupils were shiny, and he couldn't help but wonder whether Gu Jue was like this at the moment when he came to take the provincial examination when he was young... No, he should be more arrogant and ostentatious than he is now.

Gu Jue was not originally a mother-in-law, so he immediately lined up for examination.

The test baskets, clothes, shoes, etc. that the candidates carry must be checked one by one, and they must be sure that there is no private property in them before they can enter the venue.

While queuing, Gu Jue looked back at Chen Qianchen from time to time. When he turned around again, his eyes met a pair of shocked eyes behind him. The owner of his eyes was a thin young man in blue who was 27 or 28 years old, and he was standing at the end of the team at this moment.

It was him. Gu Jue moved his eyebrows, and he still remembered that this man's surname was Xuan.

"..." Juren Xuan swallowed his saliva and looked at Gu Jue in surprise, almost thinking that he was confused.

Of course he also remembered Gu Jue, and it should be said that he would probably never forget the experiences on the Chinese Valentine's Day in his life.

Gu Jue nodded slightly to Juren Xuan, saying hello, and guided the other party to look at the basket in his hand, implying that he was here to take the exam today.

Apart from nodding with ease, Xuan Juren didn't know what to do, and he felt a little inexplicably panic.

Gu Jue didn't care much about Xuan Juren, and his eyes looked in the direction of Chen Qianchen again, and made a gesture to her, signaling her to go back quickly.

Chen Qianchen also replied with a gesture, meaning, you, as a candidate, will be right to queue up for checking.

Juren Xuan looked over Gu Jue's gaze and saw Chen Qianchen, his mood became even more complicated.

Although he had known that the emperor and the empress had a deep relationship, he was shocked again when he watched this scene with his own eyes.

This couple is the most noble person in the world. They are located on the high cloud top and enjoy all their honor, but they do the most ordinary things like the most ordinary couple, with deep love.

Xuan Juren absent-mindedly followed the team and moved forward again. It was already half an hour later when he actually entered the field.

The candidates looked for their own number according to the seat number. The number was narrow and tight, only three feet wide and eight feet high, and the layout was very simple. The number board used as a table board also serves as a bed at night.

After the first three days of the exam, there are two more six days in total. The scholar's nine days of food and lying in this small house.

The atmosphere in the exam room naturally became solemn and tense.

After finding his own house, Juren Xuan couldn't help but look out, feeling a little panicked. He really couldn't figure out why the new emperor came to participate in the examination.

Gu Jue noticed that Xuan Juren looked different. When he walked past his house, he specifically said three words to him: "Take a good exam."

Gu Jue didn't want Xuan Ju to think too much, as not to affect his performance. After all, the imperial examination is related to the future and destiny of a scholar in his life.

However, he only mentioned these three words.

The imperial examination is just the first step to becoming an official. If this juren can pass the imperial examination, he will inevitably face some uncontrollable ups and downs when he becomes an official in the future. If he cannot even see through this matter, it means that he is useless.

Juren Xuan suddenly became excited because of these three words Gu Jue.

Just imagine, which scholar can receive a blessing from the emperor before the imperial examination, and which scholar can take the imperial examination in the same examination room as the emperor!

Just thinking about it this way, Xuan Juren felt excited. From July to the capital, he seemed to have good luck. He met the emperor three times in just one month.

Learn civil and martial arts and make money from the imperial family.

Now that the emperor is here, he certainly has to seize this opportunity to take the exam. In the future, future generations talk about the first imperial examination after the new emperor ascended the throne, this will also be a beautiful story.

Juren Xuan calmed down from the initial panic and began to get busy with pleasure.

The candidates who participated in the imperial examinations have participated in the provincial examinations before, so they are all very experienced. The first thing they do after finding the imperial examination is to first install the imperial examination curtain and the imperial examination curtain for the uninhabited ones, and then arrange all the four treasures of the study...

When the exam time is up, the examiners in the venue will start to distribute the exam papers one by one.

The students in the mailroom all looked solemn, carefully unfolding their test papers and browsing the questions carefully.

Gu Jue also got the test paper and looked calm.

This test paper is different from the one Gu Jue bought before, because he asked the Ministry of Rites to modify the test paper for the imperial examination the day before yesterday.

In order to reduce the way to leak questions, Gu Jue made the Minister of Rites fully responsible for the matter this time, and he didn't even look at it himself. In other words, it was the first time that Gu Jue saw this first test paper.

The question is not difficult. The first test was the meaning of "Four Books" and the meaning of "Five Classics" and the meaning of "Five Classics".

Gu Jue stared at the topic for a while, pondered for a moment, and held the pen and dipped ink confidently.

It was quiet around, and most candidates were still thinking about how to solve the questions. The eight-legged essay in the first game was crucial and must be carefully considered. Anyway, the exam will take three days, so time is not in a hurry. Even if they finish answering the paper in advance, they cannot hand in the paper. They still have to stay here for three days.

There are strict regulations on the start and end time of the examination. In the Great Qi Dynasty, there was even one year of the examination. The Gongyuan Academy accidentally caught fire and the examiner did not dare to open the door, resulting in five candidates being buried in the fire, which shows how strict the rules are.

Gu Jue actually finished answering the questions on the first day, and the rest of the time he was inspecting the environment of the examination room and observing these candidates.

The environment of the examination room is really simple, not only is it not ventilated, but there are also few thatched cottages, only one at the end of each examination alley. In August, although the weather is colder than the scorching heat, it is still very hot. The few houses near the thatched cottages are all stenchy, making the candidates there miserable.

Gu Jue is a warrior. For him, the environment and food in the examination room are simple, but no matter how simple it is, it will not be worse than the battlefield. In the past, in order to set an ambush for the enemy, he had been in a place several times worse than this, so Gu Jue was always at ease in this exam.

But those scholars who were powerless were not good at tying up a chicken. On the third day, because they couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well, the account was stuffy and hot, and some candidates could no longer bear it.

Just now, on the afternoon of the third day, Gu Jue saw an old man with gray hair and unconsciousness being carried out by two yamen runners. One of them sighed: "I'll carry him out, probably because of heatstroke."

"I think so, let the doctor outside take a look." Another yamen runner agreed.

These yamen runners are not surprised by this kind of thing. Every year, the provincial examinations are often found in the examination room for various reasons. Anyway, as long as the candidate is carried out, it means that he has lost the qualification to take the exam.

"then!"

Gu Jue suddenly shouted.

The two yamen who were carrying people were stunned for a moment, and saw a small blue porcelain bottle thrown out from the account house. One of the yamen runners subconsciously raised their hand to catch the small porcelain bottle.

Gu Jue said lightly: "Feed him one."

The porcelain bottle that Gu Jue threw out contains the purple snow pill improved by Chen Qianchen. This purple snow pill can not only treat convulsions in children, but also treat heatstroke. It is one of several common medicines specially prepared for him by Chen Qianchen.

The two yamen workers worked together, one stuffed a purple snow pill into the fainting candidate's mouth, the other brought a glass of cold water and barely poured some into his mouth.

To be honest, the two yamen servants are just trying to do whatever they want, so they won't wait too long. They plan to carry him out if they count until the "tenth" and they don't wake up.

When they counted to "eight", the gray-haired candidate actually let out a low moan, and then slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were still a little dazed.

The yamen shouted excitedly: "Wake up! He is awake!"

The dizzy candidate quickly woke up and realized where he was. He quickly got up, almost rolled back and shouted excitedly, "I'm fine, I still have to take the exam!"

The yamen were funny when they looked at this scene. When they looked at Gu Jue again, their eyes became a little unusual, and they felt that this person was kind-hearted. They usually had a fixed quota for the candidates. He woke up one person, which was actually equivalent to adding a competitor to him.

Xuan Juren's title was only two rooms separated from Gu Jue. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but look at Gu Jue.

At this moment, the curtain of Gu Jue's number house fell down again, blocking outsiders' curious eyes.

Thinking of the first two meetings between him and Gu Jue, Xuan Juren couldn't help but curl up, and he sighed sincerely: With such a wise emperor, if he is lucky enough to become an official in the future, he will definitely be able to show his ambitions.

Even if he fails the exam today, he can still take the exam for the Endo exam next spring.

After a while, there were sounds of yamen operators reminding everyone to hand in their papers, and the first exam was about to end.

When the hour of You and the hour arrives, the dragon gate of the Gongyuan will be wide open.

Outside the Gongyuan, there was another bustling crowd.

The candidates walked out of the examination room one after another, and from time to time, men, women, old and young who had been waiting for a long time rushed up to a certain candidate, enthusiastically surrounding the candidates for questions, and most of them were asking how they were doing.

Chen Qianchen also waited outside the Gongyuan in advance, looking at the direction of the dragon gate with a bright look.

Most of the candidates who took the exam for three days were unshaven, and their robes were like dried pickles, and they were embarrassed and haggard. A few of them had a pale face and staggered, and they felt like they were about to fall down at any time.

"Jiuxia!"

Finally, when Chen Qianchen saw Gu Jue come out, he walked towards him in two steps, smiling like a flower.
