III Jiangshan

The scientific research of the Great Wei changed the old rules of the previous dynasty since the reign of Emperor Taizong, and it no longer lasted for three to five days like the previous dynasty.During the scientific examination, the examinees had to be confined in a small single room, where they could eat, drink, and drink. Taizong saw it with his own eyes when he was young. The process of the test was compressed within one day, which greatly reduced the burden on the candidates for reference.

Since Emperor Taizong changed the imperial examination procedure, all dynasties in the Great Wei Dynasty have followed this example. Yuan Youqi also followed this example when he added women's subjects.

Although the test time has been shortened by more than half, it will last at least half a day, four to five hours, which is a severe test for one's physical strength.Therefore, the scientific examination is still the same as before, allowing candidates to bring their own dry food and snacks, but they will still be checked extremely carefully to prevent candidates from bringing their personal belongings and cheating.

Naturally, all women who take part in the women's examination are female candidates. Most of the women's physical strength is weaker than that of men, so when they take the examination, they will also bring their own food.Parents who are wealthy and love their daughters will even prepare extremely delicate snacks, lest their daughters starve to death.

But that was in the general examination. Once they took part in the imperial examination, few women would have the nerve to eat and eat in front of everyone——

In previous years, when the Xuanhua Palace examination was held, there was only an exquisite seat representing the emperor on it, and there was no emperor himself.On both sides of the main hall are the examiners and the ministers who read the papers, as well as the officials of the Luan Tingsi who are responsible for maintaining order, and the inner court guards who are responsible for the defense of the hall.Although the defense between men and women in the Great Wei Dynasty was not strict, few ladies who have read poetry and books and know how to be polite are able to chew and swallow in front of men.

After all, the palace examination is only a few hours away, and it will be passed after one beating.Most of the little ladies who referred to it had this kind of thought.

This is the situation of the previous women's exams, but this year is different.

No one expected that the emperor would show up at the palace examination, and the exquisite seat in the front had a veritable owner.These little ladies all longed for their talents and learning to be favored by the ministers who read the papers, to be selected by the emperor, and even to become the emperor's right-hand man in the future, assisting the emperor to achieve great achievements and glorify the family lintel. How could a "student of the Son of Heaven" lose his bearing in front of the Son of Heaven?Not to mention feasting, but eating slowly in front of the emperor, they are afraid that the emperor will think that they only know how to eat and eat, and don't care about knowledge and policy affairs!

For this reason, only the sound of brushes, ink, paper and inkstones could be heard in the Xuanhua Palace, and even though it was past lunch time, most people were so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs, and no one had the nerve to take out the food they brought at home. Snacks and dry food to eat.

The exams are underway, and the officials next to them can't stand it any longer——

In previous years, when the emperor was not present, they could find opportunities to take a short errand, and fill their stomachs by replacing each other.But this year, the emperor was just sitting on it, without showing any sign of tiredness or hunger. They are one or two, as subjects, are they ashamed to say that they are both hungry and tired?

All the ministers, on the surface, are respectful and indifferent, but in reality they are watching their noses and noses and their hearts. They only hope that their stomachs will not make futile "cuckoos" and lose their dignity in front of the imperial court. Quicker, quicker turn to the west.

What they were even more puzzled about was: Why is His Majesty so energetic today?Except for the woman named Guan Jin who knocked over the inkstone and splashed His Majesty's ink, what else and who made His Majesty so excited that he still refused to leave?

Yuan Youqi was sitting on it, thinking about something else in his mind: I was so kind to that woman named Guan Jin before, Ah Heng really misunderstood me, right?

The conscience of heaven and earth, I really have no other thoughts for her!Yuan Youqi did not know how many times he wailed in his heart.

She always felt that Mochi hadn't paid much attention to her since that incident happened before.I seem to be really angry...

In fact, she is also concerned about it, and Mo Chi is so focused on how to answer the paper at this moment, even if she really wants to argue with her, she will definitely not try to attract attention under the eyes of everyone at this moment.

Yuan Youqi carefully peeked at the ink pool several times, but didn't get any response. The whole person was a little depressed, but he still wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor on the surface.

An hour passed, Yuan Youqi was really depressed.As time went by, a more familiar feeling surged up in her stomach——

"Gollum—"

Her stomach growled, reminding her that it was time to pay homage to the Temple of the Five Viscera.

"What time is it?" Yuan Youqi asked Tang Xi who was standing beside him in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, it's noon." Tang Xi replied hastily.

Yo, is this time?Yuan Youqi was quite surprised.She blamed herself for being distracted and forgetting the most important things.

"Is everything I ordered ready?" Yuan Youqi asked Tang Xi again in a low voice.

Tang Xi was very clever, when Yuan Youqi asked him to prepare in the imperial dining room, he guessed what the emperor was doing.Hearing Yuan Youqi finally remembered to ask at this moment, he couldn't wait for the sound, and hurriedly replied: "Everything is ready! The stove is hot now!"

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "All are prepared according to your majesty's instructions!"

When Yuan Youqi heard this, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen Mochi's satisfied taste.

"Get ready to present it!" she said to Tang Xi.

The female candidates who participated in the palace examination never imagined that in today's palace examination, they not only saw the real face of the emperor, but also had the opportunity to taste the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room.

That's right, what Yuan Youqi ordered Tang Xi to prepare was to prepare a lunch in the imperial dining room for every female candidate who took part in the palace examination: one meal, one soup, one meat and one vegetable, one snack, and an imperial meal tribute tea.

Everyone has eaten snacks, but no one has eaten snacks in the Imperial Dining Room!

Even if it's just a simple lunch, four to fifty people are prepared at once, His Majesty's thoughtfulness is enough to move people.Moreover, there are not only meals from the imperial dining room, but also Tang Xi, the first imperial official, who personally leads the small inner eunuch who carries the food box to arrange for each female candidate!

Even though most people didn't recognize Tang Xi, seeing that he stood by the emperor's side from beginning to end, one could tell that his status was unusual.

The lunch in Mochi was also arranged by Tang Xi himself.

Most of the people around were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected royal gift lunch, but they ignored the details for a while, but Mochi never missed a single detail.When Tang Xi approached with the little eunuch who was carrying the food box, Mochi keenly caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous dark scratch mark under the horizontal rail of the box.

Mochi is convinced that it is this extremely inconspicuous seal that distinguishes the lunch given to him from others.

And the little inner eunuch who was carrying the special food box, with Mo Chi's insightful eyesight, quickly discovered that his expression was different from other little inner eunuchs, and his respect and caution were doubled.Obviously, he is also aware of his "special mission".

This kind of cognition made Mochi feel uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but think about it, Tang Xi had already opened the food box on his own, and brought all the food inside to Mochi himself, with a respectful appearance, which was much more respectful than others.

"Lady, take it easy!" He said with a smile and bowed to Mochi, and personally presented a pair of chopsticks wrapped in a smooth cloth towel to Mochi.

Mo Chi said "Thank you" calmly, took the chopsticks, and at the same time his hands sank slightly, his heart also sank——

This pair of chopsticks looks like ordinary chiseled silver chopsticks, but its weight is by no means comparable!

Mochi pursed his lips, his eyes slid across the table in front of him calmly, and then swept across the tabletops of the people around him without any trace, his heart tightened silently.

The female candidates who are also candidates have limited experience after all, and they can't see the way in it.Mochi III was a man, and the previous two lives grew up in aristocratic families and lived in the palace for a long time. She knew the tricks in the ingredients of the imperial meal when she saw it: the meals and snacks on her plate compared with those of others seemed to be It is generally the same, but the materials used are extremely fine and elegant, and they are prepared according to the standards of the emperor and queen mother.

Not only that, she is the closest to the food in front of her, the tangy aroma, and the posture of the ingredients lying in the container are definitely not in the hands of an ordinary imperial chef!Maybe... maybe it's the one who handles the spoon for the emperor!

Mochi is by no means perfect in cooking, but the vision accumulated over several lifetimes is sharp and profound.

There is also the chopsticks in her hand, although they have been intentionally concealed, but the weight and exquisite workmanship make Mochi unable not to suspect that it is for the imperial use.In other words, this pair of chopsticks is not only valuable, but also can effectively identify most of the poisons in the world.thing.

Delicacy, delicacies, beautiful utensils, and Yuan Youqi's thoughtful and considerate heart, did not make Mochi feel happier and warmer, but made her more uneasy.

Mochi can imagine how Yuan Youqi ordered people to prepare lunch according to his own taste, how he specifically asked all the female candidates who participated in the palace examination to prepare the same lunch as his own; He carefully made this pair of chopsticks, just for himself to be able to eat safely and comfortably; then how to order the imperial chef to handle the spoon, how to arrange for the proper inner eunuch to bring the food box, how to order Tang Xi to arrange it himself...

Mo Chi knows that Yuan Youqi loves her with the utmost sincerity and affection.Yuan Youqi thought of everything she could think of and thought of it for her in advance.

There may be people who love the truth in this world, but there are very few people who have the ability and power to turn this truth into reality.It is human nature to have high power but weak love. May I ask how many emperors throughout the ages could love someone to the extent of Yuan Youqi?

To be enthralled by the most respected emperor in the world, any woman would only feel happy and crazy and forget about other things, right?

Mochi couldn't do it.

She knew very well that Yuan Youqi had the ability to quietly give herself special treatment, and also the ability to make all the people who dealt with her stay silent, pretending that this matter never happened at all.But does that mean it never happened?

Mochi can block one's cognition, pretending not to know that one is being treated specially.However, what about the future?

Today, Yuan Youqi, with the honor of an emperor, can cover up everything grandly, so in the future, will she intensify and try every means to express her love for herself?

Mo Chi really doesn't want to add derogatory terms to the person she loves, but she can't stop thinking about it.

Today, making an exception to appear in the Xuanhua Palace, making an exception to give food to the candidates in the palace examination, will he set more precedents for himself in the future?Over time, will it become a routine?As time goes by, will it be discovered that the clues will become the target of those who want to?

It should be noted that anyone who has done it will not be without traces.

Mochi can already imagine that if he really becomes an official in the court in the future, Yuan Youqi will do everything possible to make him an official as close to her as possible.Even if he is temporarily out of office, Yuan Youqi will do everything possible to subdue the people.

The emperor is selfless, and the favoritism of an emperor is terrible.

Mo Chi's mind suddenly flashed the stories of the emperors who perished due to favoritism and faith in the history books.
