"There are still a few days left for the examination. The ministers in charge of this scientific examination must not make any mistakes." Emperor Long Yan looked happily at the ministers standing below.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have arranged all the chores to ensure everything is in order," said Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites.

"Okay. This examination is related to the introduction of talents to our country. You must take care of this and be sure not to allow scheming people to participate in this examination." The emperor said again.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, nothing will happen to me." Ding Liu was full of confidence.

Seeing that Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, was so confident, the emperor felt relieved. . .

As the temperature begins to warm up in Yanyang City, everything seems to be different. Various unknown trees in Yanyang City have grown young leaves, and the peach blossoms on the hills of Yanyang City are almost full of branches. , there are various birds flying from one end to the other, chirping non-stop, and there are a few ducks in the river in the distance, just like "three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo, ducks are the prophet of warm water in the spring river" .”

The swallow's nest in front of the Sun Mansion was chirping again.

"Junze, eat more." Mrs. He, Mrs. Sun Fuzheng, carefully picked up a piece of Dongpo meat and handed it to her eldest son, Sun Junze.

"Thank you, mother." Junze looked happy.

"Eat more, and you will do well in the test in a few days." He looked at Sun Junze with a smile on his face as he looked forward to his son's success.

"Yes. By the way, mother, I heard that Su Mansion's eldest son Su Runchen also participated in this examination." Sun Junze said.

"It's okay, he took his test. Just take the test well." Mrs. He said.

At this time, Sun Yijin, who was watching the conversation between her brother and the eldest lady, said happily: "Brother, my sister will give you some too." After saying that, Sun Yijin took out a piece of meat from a plate of twice-cooked pork and handed it to her brother Sun Junze.

"Thank you sister." Junze said with a smile.

"You're welcome. I wish my brother can pass the imperial examination and become an official." Sun Yijin said with a smile.

Seeing that young Yijin could be so sensible, Madam He and her mother laughed happily.

"Master is not here, let me say something. Junze, when you become an official, don't forget to marry a daughter-in-law." Madam He said happily.

"I understand, mother. What about second brother?" Junze looked at Sun Luolin, who didn't speak much.

"The same goes for your second brother. But, you, the elder brother, deserve to have a head."

"Okay. Got it, mother." Junze said.

After the meal, Su Junze rushed to the backyard happily as usual, picked up a copy of "The University", lay down on the bench, glanced at the book, then covered his face with the book and read: "Tao De" If you have many people, you will gain the country; if you lose the people, you will lose the country."

As I thought about it, the whole afternoon passed by...

In the night, everyone in Yanyang City who had a son to take the exam picked up their books and prepared nervously for the exam. However, the eldest son of the Su family seemed not to care about this exam.

"Run Chen, you will take the scientific examination in a few days, and you must pass the exam for me." Su Yunqi's words were a bit harsh.

After listening to his father's words, Su Runchen became anxious: "Scientific examination, scientific examination, are scientific examinations so important? Since I was a child, I have participated in various examinations such as children's examinations and annual examinations. So when was it not forced by you? Passed the child test? The year before last, you chased me with a broom and beat me because you failed the child test. Everyone from far and wide knew that you failed the child test! Anyway, I won’t take the test this time.”

Su Yunqi listened to his eldest son's words without saying anything, and looked at Su Runchen with eyes that didn't know how to persuade him. On the other hand, Mrs. Fan, who was Su Runchen's biological mother, could no longer listen.

"Runchen! Why are you talking to your father?! You have to go to this test." Su Runchen's mother, Mrs. Fan, scolded.

"I don't care, I won't go to this exam. The seats for the exam are so narrow that it's not even big enough for a dog to sit on! It's much better to have fun all day long than this exam." Su Runchen complained. road.

Listening to the elder brother's words, Yanzhi, Jinfan, Qingli, Qingshu and Runchen's aunts at the same table looked at the stubborn him.

"Su Runchen!" Su Yunqi stood up in anger and continued to scold: "Why are you talking to your elders?! I think you have no respect for your elders! You should be disciplined."

"Why do you care what you say?! Anyway, if I try this, I won't go!" Su Runchen said.

Su Yunqi was so angry that he looked straight at his unfilial eldest son.

The brothers and sisters on the side looked at Runchen's scene and started to persuade him one after another. Sitting aside, Cen Yinzhu, who had just married into the Su family a few days ago, was eating delicious food and watching the show.

"Brother, admit your mistake. You just know how to try. What's the problem?" said the second son, Su Yanzhi.

Hearing what the second brother said, Su Runchen looked at the second brother angrily: "Go ahead!"

Runchen's words left Su Yanzhi speechless.

I can't bear it anymore, no need to bear it anymore. Mr. Su, Su Yunqi, finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Butler! Please help me!"

"Master." Butler Lu's words sounded like he was pleading for Su Runchen.

However, what he got was a supercilious look from the master, which scared Butler Lu into hurriedly getting the family law.

This method is a high-quality leather whip. The handle is made of high-quality wood, and it is wrapped with a layer of high-quality anti-slip and anti-sweat fabric. The materials used on the whip can be said to be very "conscientious" ”, and so far I haven’t seen any peeling spots on the whip. It can be said that one whip has been passed down for several generations, and the whip is still there after everyone passes away.

Seeing such a powerful whip, Su Runchen's mother, Mrs. Fan, was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, held Su Yun's lower body robe tightly with both hands, and begged: "Master, forget it. Runchen is still young, not If you are sensible, you should understand, and you don’t have to beat him like this. If he is injured, it won’t be cured in a month and a half..."

"Are you still protecting him?" Su Yunqi scolded.

Several aunts on the side looked at Madam Fan and the master's movements, watching the excitement.

"Let's see if I can beat this son of a bitch to death today!" After saying that, Su Yunqi held the fine whip tightly with one hand, pushed the lady aside, and whipped Su Runchen away! However, no hit!

Immediately afterwards, the agile Su Runchen had a fierce competition with his father Su Yun.

I saw the whip flying away quickly, shattering flower pots and various fragile items all over the floor. The entire Su Mansion was like a chicken fighting.

In the end, the agile Su Runchen was beaten several times by his father, leaving bruises all over his body.

The next day, Su Runchen, who had endured the pain all night, finally received the doctor.

"Mr. Xu, how is Runchen's injury?" Mrs. Fan asked anxiously.

After the diagnosis, Dr. Xu stood up, looked at Mrs. Fan, and calmly bowed before speaking: "This injury seems serious, but in fact it is not serious. It is just a skin injury. Just use it." With this bottle of golden sore medicine, you will be fully alive and ready to take the exam in a few days."

After hearing this, Mrs. Fan laughed happily and said, "Okay, okay. I'd like to thank the doctor for your help."

"You're welcome, Madam." Doctor Xu said with a slight smile.

"Qingqiu."

"My slave is here."

"Send to Dr. Xu."

"yes."

Just as Dr. Xu was about to leave, Su Runchen, who was lying on the bed and hesitated for a long time, finally said: "Doctor Xu, stay."

"What can I do for my uncle?" Doctor Xu asked respectfully.

"Mr. Xu, I'm in terrible pain now. I'll be fine in a few days. How is that possible? In my opinion, this will take several months of training."

Su Runchen's mother on the side looked at Doctor Xu with an embarrassed smile.

"Uncle Hui Guo, this bottle is a golden sore medicine. You only need to apply it on the wound, and it will recover in a few days. If an ordinary person does not have this medicine, it will indeed take several months to recover." Dr. Xu also explained patiently.

Listening to Dr. Xu's words, no matter how much he didn't want to participate in the examination, there was no other way.

"If nothing happens to my uncle, then I will leave."

Seeing that Su Runchen had nothing to say, his biological mother Fan on the side spoke: "Qingqiu, send Doctor Xu to see you."

"yes."

After the imperial doctor left, Mrs. Fan quietly sat on the edge of the bed and turned her head to look at Su Runchen: "Runchen, don't worry, you will be fine in a few days. You also know the master's temper, so go ahead and try it now. Remember Come on, you are the uncle of the state and the younger brother of the current queen. You must take the overall situation into consideration in everything you do."

After listening, the sensible Su Runchen no longer refused to participate in the examination: "Mom, I know. But if I fail to pass the exam again, then..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely make the decision for you." Fan comforted.

The day before the exam...

"Xiangyue!"

"My slave is here."

"Let's see when the emperor comes."

"yes."

The person sitting on the mahogany chair in front of her is the current queen and the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Wanyue.

She has a handsome face, light makeup, a light yellow dress, and a phoenix crown on her head. She looks very elegant.

After waiting for a long time, the emperor finally arrived.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor." Queen Su Wanyue knelt down.

The emperor who loved the queen immediately stretched out his hand and helped the queen up: "The queen is exempt from the ceremony."

After speaking, the emperor looked at the servants around him and said, "Go down."

"yes."

After the chamberlains left, the emperor spoke with a smile: "The queen is more anxious than me. I was busy reviewing the memorials, so she sent someone to invite me."

The queen blushed and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I have something that I don't know whether to talk about or not."

"The queen speaks out when she has something to say."

After seeing the emperor's permission, the queen expressed her thoughts: "My younger brother Su Runchen will take the exam tomorrow. The year before last, he failed the exam and was chased and beaten by his father. This year, I am afraid that the exam questions will be more difficult, and he will be... "While talking, the queen couldn't continue talking.

After listening to the queen's words, the emperor understood. He held the queen's hand, sat in front of the bed, and comforted: "Don't worry, I will have my own way to help your brother when the time comes."

After hearing the emperor's immediate agreement, the queen hurriedly knelt down again and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."

"Queen, get up, no need to be polite."

After helping the queen up, the emperor started again as usual.

In this harem, Queen Su Wanyue is the only person who can be favored in the entire harem.
