There is also a rule about being summoned for the palace examination. If you are among the top ten but fail to be summoned, your ranking will be immediately dropped to the bottom of the top three.
Therefore, when Sheng Yuan heard the message asking her to enter the palace, she did not dare to delay for a moment.
Although there were very few people in Kyoto who dared to trick her, they had to make preparations in this regard.
You know, this introduction is commonly known as "little introduction"!
In this way, Sheng Yuan and another girl arrived early and waited in front of the palace's outer gate.
"There is another girl in the top ten?!" After Sheng Yuan met the other party, she couldn't help but look at the dark-skinned girl with a bun.
This girl's surname is Chao, and her two names are superior to each other.
Chao Wensheng, the name sounds quite heroic, and it is easy for people to think that he is a gentleman.
Sheng Yuan was surprised, but Miss Chao was very calm. She even guessed Sheng Yuan's identity from the beginning. After all, this was the girl who had received five yuan in a row, so she was easy to recognize.
"I was born in a common people's family, and by chance I got married to a son from a poor family. My ex-husband studied for more than ten years and gained nothing, but I gained something because of the influence of my ears and eyes.
In the last scientific examination, I saw that my ex-husband had difficulty in achieving success, so when he was reviewing, I wanted to help him prepare for the examination. However, he was a rigid and conservative person, so he became furious when I heard about it, and his family became even more disgusted with me because of this.
And because I had never been able to achieve anything by marrying into his family, he abandoned me after being married to one of them. Although I was very unwilling to do so, but the world is like this, I could only bear it with tears.
Fortunately, not long after, the Imperial Examination for Girls was launched, and I took the few taels of silver I had saved to register. I originally thought that if I could pass the exam, I would be able to survive in the future, but who would have thought that I would be able to ride a horse from now on? Juechen got into Kyoto in one go. "
Probably because there were only two girls outside the palace, she and Sheng Yuan, so Chao Wensheng made no secret and made his origins clear.
Sheng Yuan was greatly surprised by her simple and profound exchange of words.
Seeing this girl's demeanor and behavior, she couldn't help but be enlightened.
The other party did it intentionally!
"My original name was Chao Xiaomei, but I felt that this name was not congenial to me, so I changed my name at the government office when I signed up."
"Good change!" Sheng Yuan nodded appreciatively, "When standing in the court, it should be treated as a slightly formal name."
Otherwise, when greeting colleagues from top to bottom, a certain girl on the left, and a girl of various kinds, their momentum seems to have dropped first.
You can't help but let your colleagues joke behind your back!
Sheng Yuan wanted to encourage this classmate to take the exam, but saw that the other person suddenly straightened his spine and became a bit cold.
Looking around, I saw eight other men hurriedly arriving.
"Since all the kings are here, please follow me to the palace to have an audience!" The reader waited for everyone to arrive and hurriedly appeared in front of everyone. "Here, let's sort by the order of what I have said."
After saying this, he read out the names of the ten tributes loudly without waiting for anyone to react.
Sheng Yuan was first, Chao Wensheng was fourth, and between them were two husbands: Haiyan and Qi Hang.
Everyone stood in order, and it looked like everyone was flying high above the others.
The main reason is that the ranking has been determined, and they know their ranking earlier than other students, which makes them less worried for a long time, and inevitably gives them a sense of superiority.
Of course, this sense of superiority appears quickly and dissipates quickly.
Their emotions calmed down before entering Lanzheng Hall and seeing Emperor Jinghe.
"Everyone, please come with me."
Following the examiner's words, Sheng Yuan and her nine fellow examiners involuntarily straightened their already straight backs... straighter.
