Having been in officialdom for many years, Xin Huairen still knew what factions there were in the court.

For this scientific examination, four examination rooms were set up, partly because of the large number of people, but also for the sake of balance.

The four major forces each occupy one side.

Scientific examinations are an important channel for attracting talents, and each party hopes to take this opportunity to attract some potential stocks.

Although most of the lineage of King Pingnan and Duke Wei is composed of military generals, it would be a joke to say that there are not a few civil servants to serve as assistants.

Why did the Crown Prince find this place instead of choosing among them?

Xin Huairen couldn't understand.

Once he agreed to this job, he was labeled as King Pingnan or Duke Wei.

In fact, because of his daughter's relationship, in the eyes of many people, he has already been sided with and can't be ignored even if they want to, so there is no need to worry.

Mrs. Xin and Xin Yurou, on the other hand, didn't think much about it.

They just thought it was because the prince had good things to do and was thinking about his family.

Although Xin Huairen was a famous scholar, he had been in official circles for many years without making much achievements.

It was not his turn to preside over scientific examinations.

But now, with the honor of the crown prince, he also has the opportunity to show his face.

"Since the prince likes you, I have no reason to refuse." Xin Huairen said solemnly.

"it is good!"

"One more thing." Ye Qinghan continued: "Mr. Xin has been an official for many years, so he should have many like-minded friends. There are still three shortcomings for the assistant examination, so please help me find a few suitable candidates."

"this----"

Xin Huairen thought about it and said, "Is it a little inappropriate?"

What he meant was that it would not be good if all were found from the outside and none were left within the faction.

But how could Ye Qinghan understand this? He just wanted to capture a few 'long-term workers'.

"Ok, deal."

For a moment, Xin Huairen felt moved in his heart. For such an important matter, the crown prince had given full authority to him alone.

If you treat me with a state officer, I will repay it.

After lunch, Ye Qinghan took Xin Yurou back home. Before leaving, he told the old couple that they could go to the palace anytime they wanted to see their daughter. The same goes for Yurou if she wanted to come back here, so she didn't have to have any scruples.

As the scientific expedition approaches, Yujing City becomes overcrowded.

We are running out of soldiers to maintain law and order.

The literary test comes first, and most of the candidates who arrived early are literati and poets. What do these people like to do most when they get together?

Drinking wine, writing poems, talking about the past and the present.

Therefore, teahouses, restaurants, and Goulan brothels are doing brisk business.

Many major events have happened in Yujing City recently, and they have become the focus of discussion.

Among them, Ye Qinghan's name appears very frequently.

He was originally the top dude in the Dali Dynasty, a kind of existence like "Tearing Onions".

Recently, there have been many surprising things. At the celebration banquet, the whole audience was suppressed by singing "Broken Arrangement". The most beautiful woman Xin Yurou was invited to marry at the door of the mansion. Now she has become one of the four chief examiners of the scientific examination. I don't want to be mentioned. All difficult.

"Po Zhenzi·Zhiwei Guogong" can be recited by almost everyone, and is known as the ceiling of "battle field poetry".

Some people despise Ye Qinghan for plagiarizing, while others are grateful to him for making this poem appear.

And Na's marriage to Xin Yurou, the most beautiful woman, made countless people envious, jealous and hateful.

Then he became the chief examiner of the scientific examination. The students taking the examination did not dare to make unreasonable comments for fear of ruining their future, but they all secretly prayed that they would not be placed in his area.

Xihua Pavilion.

The largest hook fence in Yujing City is close to the Cangshui River that passes through the city.

They built a huge platform along the river. Every move on the platform could be seen clearly from a distance away from the river bank.

Tonight, the annual Oiran Competition will be held here.

Before the sun had completely set, the surroundings were already crowded with people.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door of Xihua Pavilion, and it seemed that someone was having a conflict.

"Get away quickly. A bunch of stinky beggars want to join the cabinet?"

A richly dressed young man waved his folding fan and looked at the group of people next to him with disgust.

"Who are you calling a stinky beggar? We are exam-taking students." The group of people looked angry.

However, if you look at what you are wearing and compare it with others, you do look like a group of beggars.

Things like the above have been common in Yujing City recently.

The influx of a large number of outsiders, mostly from poor backgrounds, seriously encroached on the living space of local nobles, so conflicts and frictions were inevitable.

Slowly, two groups were formed: civilians and nobles, who hated each other.

"Look, the carriage of Prince Pingnan's palace."

Someone shouted, and everyone turned their attention to the intersection.

I saw a luxuriously decorated carriage approaching slowly, and the surrounding people involuntarily moved out of the way.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Xihua Pavilion.

Everyone knows who is coming.

How could a grand event like the Oiran Competition not include Prince Pingnan?

Sure enough, the door curtain opened and Ye Qinghan walked out.

Dressed in a rich brocade robe, he looks handsome and elegant. With the addition of the system's charm value, he can be called the 'unparalleled prince in the world'.

After Ye Qinghan came out, she was not in a hurry to enter the pavilion. Instead, she turned around with a smile and stretched out a hand.

Xin Yurou felt a little flustered as she listened to the noise outside.

She wasn't used to this kind of situation.

But seeing the smile on Ye Qinghan's face, she suddenly felt relieved. After taking a deep breath, she stepped out of the carriage gracefully.

hum!

Xin Yurou's appearance immediately caused an uproar on the scene.

Who is she?I’m afraid not many people can’t guess it!

With the prince beside him, and with such an attractive appearance, who else could be there besides the most beautiful woman in Yujing City.

Everyone was intoxicated by Xin Yurou's beauty.

Those who were envious and jealous of Ye Qinghan couldn't help but think of three words in their hearts when they saw the two of them matching each other like a golden boy and a beautiful girl.

I do not deserve!

After a long time, someone realized that she shouldn't be here!

She also came to see the Oiran competition?Not all courtesans will be overshadowed.

This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, when the prince goes shopping in Goulan, he actually takes his concubine with him. It’s really——

My role model!

Many people secretly gave a thumbs up!

Ye Qinghan has been spending most of his time in the palace recently, and his reputation has indeed increased a lot, but his 'dandy value' seems to have not been updated for a long time.

What's wrong with this!

Others thought he had turned back as a prodigal son!

So he must come to this oiran competition.

Not only did he come, he also brought Xin Yurou with him.

Xihua Pavilion did a good job of welcoming guests, and someone immediately led Ye Qinghan to the second floor seating area.

It was facing the stage and had an excellent view. It was obviously reserved for some of the top dignitaries.

The private seats are different from the private rooms in that they do not block the view. This is deliberately done by Xihua Pavilion. Every move of the nobles is also a great attraction.

There were already many people sitting inside, and when they saw Ye Qinghan coming with Xin Yurou, they all had extremely surprised looks in their eyes.

As soon as the two sat down, a voice sounded from behind them.

"I thought you weren't coming." The seventh prince Jiang Chen walked in and sat down with a smile.

He looked at Xin Yurou, then at Ye Qinghan, and thought to himself, my cousin is still good at playing, and I still have a lot to learn.

"I'll just sit here, do you mind?"

"It's up to you." Ye Qinghan didn't care.

After a while, another voice sounded from behind.

"Can I sit here too?"

The sound is clear and sweet, without any masculine sound.

Three people turned their heads, two were stunned, and one was full of curiosity.
