The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress
Chapter 21 Enke Examination
Two days later.
It was a gloomy summer morning with layers of dark clouds. The sky was dark, stuffy and hot, and a downpour could come at any time.
Outside the examination room of the Enke exam, all the candidates felt heavy in their hearts.
Four strong and powerful sedan bearers carrying a soft sedan chair covered with warm gauze stopped in front of the group of men, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Wanwan walked out of the soft sedan chair, her hair was combed neatly and elegantly, a few strands of hair fluttered gently in the wind, adding a bit of softness and beauty.
There was coldness and determination in her bright eyes.
Some of the men taking the test were the first to react, and a burst of whispers broke out.
"Why is there a woman taking the Enke exam?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe her husband is here to take the test."
"She looks so good."
At this time, a dandy young man in light green clothes appeared. His silk and satin looked particularly dazzling in the gray sky.
He walked over with a folding fan in his hand. His handsome face was a bit cynical, which made everyone give way.
"Hey, young lady, I haven't seen you for a few days. You knew I was going to take the imperial examination, so you came to see me?"
When Lin Wanwan heard this, she raised her eyes and saw Su Ye.
Lin Wanwan said: "You're overthinking."
Su Ye's smile gradually faded: "If it weren't for me, do you have a lover here?"
This made everyone laugh.
Lin Wanwan stared at him: "This princess is here to take part in the imperial examination."
The scene was noisy, and Lin Wanwan's voice was already faint, so everyone only heard the four words "participate in the scientific examination" at the end.
A sturdy man named Zhang San stood in the crowd and shouted at the top of his voice:
"A woman actually came to take the Enke exam. She really doesn't know her place!"
"That's right, what could she understand?! What does she know?!"
The other man was called Li Si. He shouted at the top of his voice, as if afraid that others couldn't hear him. Veins bulged on his stout neck and his eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
"Hmph, I see she can't even embroider, why is she trying to show off?" Wang Wu, a sharp-faced scholar nearby, echoed.
Lin Wanwan's eyes were like the quiet and deep bottom of a lake. She turned a deaf ear to these malicious words and walked past them.
The wind blew, and a cool fragrance came towards me.
Wang Wu seemed very nervous and clenched the book in his hand again and again.
When the candidates around heard this, they burst into laughter and pointed at Lin Wanwan.
"That's right, what knowledge do women know? You'd better go back home quickly!"
"I see. You are here to find a man, right? Don't embarrass yourself here!"
The followers behind the young masters also started laughing.
These mocking voices were extremely harsh in Su Ye's ears.
He waved a folding fan in his hand and stood in front of Lin Wanwan with a swagger.
"How dare you, a bunch of you ignorant people, bully the woman I like!"
Su Ye's voice was high-pitched and sharp, as if it could penetrate the ears of everyone around him. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Open your eyes and see, this is the dignified Princess An Ning, the first woman specially allowed by His Majesty the Emperor to participate in the imperial examination!"
Princess An Ning?!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and dared not say anything more.
Su Ye raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Lin Wanwan who was waiting to enter the examination room with a proud smile.
Zhang San was displeased when he heard this, and he stood in the crowd and shouted, "Who are you?"
Su Ye curled his lips with a disdainful sneer, and the folding fan in his hand closed with a "snap".
"The current Prime Minister Su Mingde is my father. A few days ago, my father told me that Princess An Ning would also take the imperial examination. Who do you think I am?"
Seeing this, the provocative people showed panic on their faces. When they learned that he was Su Ye, the dandy young man from the Prime Minister's Mansion, they dispersed at once.
Su Ye saw everyone walking away, and took a step forward, with an imposing manner.
"Wait! Are you just leaving like that? Why don't you get in line and apologize to Princess An Ning, or else, you'll be in trouble! This young master has plenty of money and means."
Once these words were spoken, the effect was surprisingly good. Those who had previously mocked Lin Wanwan actually lined up to apologize one by one.
Zhang San: "My Lady... I was blind to the truth..."
Li Si: "Princess, I am a bad mouth..."
Wang Wu: "Princess..."
Lin Wanwan stood aside calmly, looking at Su Ye, who was looking very proud.
Lin Wanwan was about to say something when she heard the system voice ringing.
【System prompt: A handsome man has been detected.】
[Handsome man information:]
[Zhang Zhirang, 21 years old, is a farmer’s son who likes to invent and create new things]
[Task: Help him perfect the wooden bird plane that has failed 99 times, tell him about modern technology, and help him regain his confidence.]
[The handsome man collection is full. Please delete one person or lock one person in the harem ranking list. If the host does not take any action, the system will automatically replace the first Lu Mu according to the time. 】
She clicked on the [Handsome Men's Picture Book] again, and the picture book already included Lu Mu, Zhang Yin, Su Ye, Ye Lan, Lin Xiaohe, Ouyang Qingyu, and Hua Yu.
Lin Wanwan understood that this atlas could only record seven people.
She decided to delete a few first, and Lin Wanwan reached out and clicked, deleting Lin Xiaohe, Ye Lan, and Zhang Yin.
Enter Zhang Zhirang.
He is here with a mission. Lin Wanwan secretly laughed in her heart. Her cold eyes, which were clearly black and white, looked at everyone. This time, her voice was loud and clear: "Who... is Zhang Zhirang?"
"I am." A man walked over from a distance. His face was well-defined, his eyebrows were thick and slightly raised, his eyes were bright and deep, and his gaze revealed concentration.
His hair was simply tied on top of his head, with a few strands falling down, adding a touch of casualness.
He was wearing simple coarse cloth and a thick belt around his waist. The basket on his back was not filled with books, but inkstones, saws and other tools.
Lin Wanwan looked at him with interest: "Can I take a look at the things in the bookcase behind you?"
Zhang Zhirang was stunned when he heard this. Although he was wearing coarse linen clothes, he straightened his body and stood up straighter.
Lin Wanwan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Is it inconvenient?"
Zhang Zhirang didn't say anything. He just felt that he couldn't afford to offend either the princess or Su Ye in front of him.
So he sat cross-legged on the ground, put down the book frame behind him, took out various exquisite wooden products from the book frame, and placed them in front of him.
There are small and exquisite wooden carvings, practical mini wooden chairs and tables... and a bird-like model.
His hands, which were a little rough from long-term work but were flexible and powerful, were now holding the bird model and fiddling with it with a serious and focused expression.
Lin Wanwan was attracted by his exquisite craftsmanship and couldn't help asking: "This wooden bird is so beautiful, wouldn't it be better if it could fly into the sky?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhirang stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at her in shock, still without saying a word.
Lin Wanwan smiled slightly and said patiently: "For this wood carving, you need to select the material first, then conceive the pattern, and then use various tools to carefully carve it. Every step requires care."
Zhang Zhirang fiddled with the wooden bird and nonchalantly replied, "Do you know anything about wood carving?"
"A wood carving is nothing." Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "The bird's wings are too heavy. It can't fly."
Fly?! Zhang Zhirang's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Wanwan continued, "Use light wood and tough ropes to build a pair of wings, and add some mechanisms to the wings that can adjust the angle. Maybe this bird can soar in the blue sky."
Zhang Zhirang listened attentively, nodded frequently, and his eyes were full of admiration: "I see, the princess's idea is really amazing."
All of this happened to be heard by Su Ye, who was standing by, right? How could Princess An Ning not see such a handsome and noble young man?
Being able to have a good chat with a lowly carpenter, a nameless anger suddenly welled up in my heart. She did this on purpose and was definitely playing hard to get.
Su Ye came over angrily with a folding fan in hand, kicked Zhang Zhirang who was sitting on the ground, and said angrily, "How dare you, an ignorant fellow, get so close to the princess!"
