Why marry someone when you are reborn?

This time, because the palace examination was very close, no banquet was held. When the palace examination was over and the top three were named, the palace would hold a final banquet.

The palace examination does not take very long. In fact, it only takes two hours at most.

This also includes about half an hour of entering and leaving the palace.

The test can be finished in one morning.

Only policy essays will be tested.

Therefore, the palace examination is actually only a few days away.

It's already June, and it will be July after the exams.

When the time comes, they will assign officials to their posts, and then continue their journey. Those officials who are sent out will arrive just in time for the harvest season, which can ease the pressure of the shortage of manpower in various places.

The palace examination is scheduled for June 25th.

It can be said to be very busy.

Xu Yun did not go out these days, and was concentrating on reading the manuscripts sent by Feng Shihua - these manuscripts were all bought by Feng Shihua, but had not yet been printed into books.

Showing it to Xu Yun first is to let Xu Yun know himself and his opponent, so that Xu Yun can continue to maintain good grades.

However, Xu Yun felt that knowing both oneself and the enemy was of no use.

But it is still possible to learn from the good points of other people's families and avoid their inappropriate aspects.

Not only did she watch it herself, she also asked Lu An, Zeng Wuji, and Zhao Mu to come and watch it together.

Lu An was a little embarrassed at first, but later he became calm - even if he couldn't repay her now, he might be able to in the future.

Zeng Wuji has completely regarded Xu Yun as his own ancestor, and even said arrogantly: "If it weren't for you, Ah Yun, my ancestors would be helpless! If I can get a good ranking this time, then Ah Yun, you will be my real ancestor!"

Xu Yun was so scared that he almost dropped the book.

Gao Yu kicked Zeng Wuji right in the calf and said disdainfully, "Don't try to marry our Ah Yun! Our Ah Yun can't give birth to a son as ugly and stupid as you!"

Zeng Wu Ji raised his hand and touched his face, feeling aggrieved: I admit that you say I'm stupid, but how am I ugly?

Zhao Mu watched Zeng Wuji and Gao Yu quarreling with a smile on his face, and he seemed quite calm - if nothing unexpected happened, he still wouldn't be ranked too high.

But the palace examination will not result in dismissal, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

Among them, the only one who can really compete is Xu Yun.

Zhao Mu looked at Xu Yun and felt dazed.

In fact, at the beginning, he really didn't think that Xu Yun could get to this point.

After all, in the first two imperial examinations, Xu Yun's scores were almost at the bottom.

But every time, Xu Yun kept moving forward.

Now, it can actually reach the top three.

If this hadn't happened right in front of him, Zhao Mu wouldn't even dare to believe it.

After all, it's amazing.

It's too unrealistic.

How can a person's level suddenly rise so quickly and so much?

Unfortunately, there is no famous teacher to guide and teach me.

This is even more surprising.

However, Xu Yun was his friend, and he was only happy for Xu Yun.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace examination.

This time, you don't have to bring anything.

Just be careful not to drink too much water before going out in the morning.

Because if you drink too much water, you will want to go to the bathroom. It will be even more inconvenient in the palace - the emperors are sitting up there watching. If you raise your hand, won't you be seen?

If we leave a bad impression on Your Majesties by then, it will be more trouble than gain.

Therefore, Xu Yun got up early, drank a little thick porridge, ate a whole large steamed bun made of fine flour, and prepared to set off.

Luo Li came back two days ago, specially before the palace examination, just to gather outside the palace with Xu Yun and watch Xu Yun enter the palace - seeing Xu Yun accomplish what she couldn't do was a kind of comfort.

However, Luo Li looked much more nervous than Xu Yun.

Finally, Xu Yun even tried to comfort Luo Li: "Luo Li, don't be nervous. You and Luo Zhan wait for me outside. I will be out soon."

Luo Li became even more nervous after hearing this: "Don't be too fast. Answer the questions carefully."

In this exam, you are allowed to submit your paper early - this is also a sign of strength.

Submitting the paper early means showing up in front of His Majesty, which means that your article will be seen first.

Therefore, there should be many people who will hand in their papers early.

For this very purpose.

Luo Li was afraid that Xu Yun would also want to follow this path, and then he would lose his level.

Xu Yun was amused by Luo Li: "A Li, you said something like that, it shows that you don't know me well enough."

"Ah?" Luo Li was confused.

Luo Zhan said: "She won't do anything she's not sure of."

He said this with great certainty.

Luo Li looked at Luo Zhan, then at Xu Yun, and smiled: "That's great."

As he was talking, Xu Yun arrived at the palace gate.

All of these candidates had to be inspected at the palace gate and even searched, just like the examinations in the Imperial Examination Hall.

However, the palace was very careful, and it was a woman who searched Xu Yun.

Moreover, because she was the only woman, she passed faster than others and did not have to wait at all.

After the examination, she was arranged to wait where she was - when everyone gathered, they would go to the examination hall together.

Xu Yun was just waiting for Zeng Wuji and the others.

After waiting for a while, Zeng Wuji came over first, his expression slightly excited: How could he not be excited about such a thing that brings honor to the family!

Ordinary people cannot enter the palace!

Just after this experience, Zeng Wuji felt that he could open a separate page in the family tree!

Zhao Mu and Lu An haven't come yet.

But Xu Yun saw Gao Xu first.

Gao Xu still looked noble and dignified, but he was not the kind of person who looked down on others. When he met Xu Yun's gaze and smile, he nodded slightly and cupped his hands as a return gesture.

But compared to Gao Xu, who seemed very polite, even gentle and humble, but exuded a sense of dignity no matter what he did, Cai Ji was purely arrogant.

That kind of arrogance that looks down on others.

When he saw Xu Yun and Zeng Wuji, he turned his head coldly and talked to others, as if he saw nothing, or... he saw a pile of disgusting garbage.

Zeng Wuji couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you so arrogant? Hasn't your ranking dropped?"

Others can't hear this.

But Xu Yun could hear it.

Xu Yun smiled and said, "I'll go say hello to Cai Ji."

Zeng Wuji was confused: "Say hello to him? Why?"

Xu Yun said calmly: "No reason, I just don't like him."

So Xu Yun really went to say hello to Cai Ji.

Cai Ji was talking to Xiao Zheguang.

But Xiao Zheguang seemed absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking. His response was somewhat perfunctory.

As for Gao Xu, there were many young men from aristocratic families around him, and they just gave this side a look.

Xu Yun just walked up to Cai Ji.

Cai Ji finally looked at Xu Yun, but he frowned and looked very impatient: "Xu Yun, what are you doing here?"

The tone was very rude.

Xu Yun smiled gently, slowly and leisurely, but his voice was loud and clear, powerful enough for everyone around to hear clearly: "Since I have seen Lord Cai today, I will ask Lord Cai to help me solve my doubts."
