Now I can only believe the news from those people, and hope that Emperor Zhou Yuan will not use them.
However, Qi Yuan had already thought of this situation. Emperor Zhou Yuan had doubts that he would not use them, but when enough talented people were placed in front of him.
Emperor Zhou Yuan himself would find a way to convince himself, not to mention the relationship between them and the eldest prince was known to have little impact.
As the son of luck, Emperor Zhou Yuan still secretly liked Zhao Yichen.
Qi Yuan didn't care about such rumors at all. On the contrary, when everyone believed that their career was hopeless, the people at Yucai Academy would relax and not target them with all their might.
Qi Yuan sat in the examination room. Compared with the examination room in Yangzhou City, the examination room in Gongyuan was not much better.
All candidates entered Gongyuan one day in advance, so the exam officially started on the ninth day of the lunar month the next day.
The content and process of the general examination are basically the same as those of the provincial examination, but the questions are different.
Qi Yuan's examination style did not change at all even when he arrived at Gongyuan in the capital. He still started to sleep in a daze after writing the test questions in one day.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites examination also heard about the talents of Qi Yuan and Tan Che from Zhang Zhi, so they couldn't help but pay attention during the inspection.
Compared with the provincial examination, the two of them were not bad at all, and even made slight progress, especially Tan Che's improvement. I almost finished writing it with Qi Yuan.
This made the officials of the Ministry of Rites somewhat confused about the two of them.
Are these two really geniuses, or have they given up on themselves after hearing those rumors?
One is sleeping and eating, while the other is practicing calligraphy when there is nothing to do?
Such arrogant candidates have never been seen in the many years the Ministry of Etiquette has presided over the examination.
There were three general exams, and the exam went smoothly and soon came to the last one, Ce Wen.
This time the policy question was quite satisfactory, and it was a commonplace topic that I couldn't fault it.
But the more regular it is, the less likely it is to stand out. After all, previous people have said it a lot.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had begun to flourish under the rule of Emperor Zhou Yuan, so the content of Cewen was also related to this.
Qi Yuan sat quietly for a while before writing, and lines of writing soon appeared on the rice paper.
Qi Yuan wrote this policy question intermittently for two days before he finished it with satisfaction.
The three exams came to an end, and the candidates left Gongyuan with either happy or sad faces.
Qi Yuan and Tan Che are two weirdos. They eat well and sleep well, but they look good.
Qi Yuan held the test basket and waved to Tan Che, "How about it?"
Tan Che smiled and shook his right hand, "My hand is sore when I write, as if I have written down on paper what I usually talk about with Qingyuan."
Qi Yuan smiled and walked towards the carriage, "Me too."
The two of them passed through the crowd and saw Zhao Yichen waiting by the carriage. An Yi seemed to have changed from a secret guard to a public guard because his identity was exposed.
"How do you feel about Qingyuan?" Zhao Yichen saw Qi Yuan walking over and asked with a smile.
The smile on Qi Yuan's face faded, and he raised his hands in salute, "I have to ask Your Highness about that."
Zhao Yichen was poured cold water on Qi Yuan's unfamiliarity and looked guilty.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this. Don't worry, if it doesn't work out, you can still be my staff." Zhao Yichen invited Chen earnestly and even came to the Gongyuan in person as a prince to apologize.
Qi Yuan smiled distantly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I am more interested in the next exam than being a staff member."
"The two of us are tired from exams. If we are rude, please forgive me." Tan Che saw Qi Yuan had already sat on the carriage, picked up the whip, and said humbly to Zhao Yichen.
"It doesn't matter, it was my poor behavior that caused you trouble." Zhao Yichen got out of the way in shame.
Tan Che saluted and got into the carriage, completely ignoring Zhao Yichen and following Qi Yuan out of Gongyuan.
Zhao Yichen watched the carriage go away and sighed. He was really impressed by Qi Yuan's talent before he came up with this idea.
As a prince, how could Zhao Yichen not understand his opponent? It is impossible to say that he did not expect such a result.
On the carriage, Tan Che yawned several times, "The eldest prince must have done this on purpose for the sake of his staff, Qingyuan."
Qi Yuan nodded, "Using each other, just a little rumor wants to ruin our careers. Do you think I can only serve as his staff advisor?"
Qi Yuan said with a disdainful sneer, "These people underestimate us too much."
Tan Che also smiled. In the past, he only knew how to read books, but after staying with Qingyuan for a long time, he unconsciously became more confident.
It seems that it feels good to be so public.
"The people from Yucai Academy will also be keeping an eye on the apricot list now, fearing that they will erase the evidence once the test results come out." Tan Che said with half-squinted eyes thinking of the people from Yucai Academy.
"It's okay. Those few Jinshi who paid to kill people are the biggest evidence."
Tan Che nodded, feeling really tired after three exams.
Qi Yuan drove home, the two of them washed up and fell asleep.
I didn't wake up until noon the next day. It was really hard to sleep well in the small space of the examination room.
As soon as the examination was over, the tense atmosphere was relieved a lot. There were more poetry gatherings in major restaurants in Beijing, and there were more and more poetry gatherings in Beijing.
Tan Che started to study at home again, and Qi Yuan became more relaxed. From time to time, he followed 888 to visit nearby villages.
Tang's heart never let go when she saw Qi Yuan like this. While she was worried about trying, she was also taking care of the pregnant Wang Hanwei.
"Eldest sister is at home." Wang Hanlan looked at Wang Hanwei sitting in the pavilion with a condescending look.
Tang was chatting with Wang Hanwei when she saw Wang Hanlan at the door.
"What are you doing here? Don't come to a dirty place." Tang stood up and pointed at Wang Hanlan and said unceremoniously.
Wang Hanlan looked at Wang Hanwei's protruding belly with dark eyes, "I didn't expect that you, the concubine, are here. Are you relying on Liang Cai to support you here? Liang Cai wants to buy this yard by himself. Is the money clean?"
Wang Hanlan stood in the yard and spoke with contempt and ridicule.
"It's such a pity. Liang Cai is quite talented, but if he marries a eldest sister who is a wealthy man, he will only be able to be a scholar in this life."
Wang Hanwei frowned and looked at Wang Hanlan with sharp eyes, "What do you mean?"
"Literally, the eldest brother-in-law provoked the people above him in order to curry favor with the eldest prince. Your Majesty has no intention of using him at all. He will never pass this test. The news has spread all over the capital. I don't think eldest sister doesn't know." Right?" Wang Hanlan said, covering her mouth pretending to be shocked, but her eyes were filled with pride.
She just couldn't stand Wang Hanwei's good life, and she just wanted to step on Wang Hanwei under her feet and trample her into the mud forever.
Wang Hanwei has never been to Beijing because of her pregnancy, so of course she didn't hear those rumors. Is it because I didn’t go to the flower viewing party?
Tang thought that her uncle had really stopped reading books recently. Could it be that he really offended someone and gave up on himself because he was hopeless in the scientific examination?
