happy rebirth

After the most difficult test, Ke Qi was no longer worried about the palace test.

The palace examination is made by the emperor, and only one question is tested.This is what Ke Qi is best at!Moreover, he had already met the emperor before this, and he has always maintained a very good mentality, and he will never make mistakes due to nervousness.For him, the Palace Examination is much easier than the General Examination, and easier than all the exams.

For nearly a year, the important officials in the court have been closely watching the position of the crown prince, but this incident is not the only one that happened in the court. Not long ago, a series of policies issued by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials were all related to the salt market in the south.The exam questions this time are economic questions derived from Yanshi. If the candidates only know how to read books, such questions will definitely not be able to answer.After Ke Qi got such a topic, he just felt like a fish in water.

Ke Qi quickly finished the draft.

When Xie Jinhua took the imperial examination, although the emperor thought about going close to watch Xie Jinhua's examination process, but he was afraid that his approach would make Xie Jinhua perform abnormally, so that the six yuan auspiciousness would be wiped out, so he had to sit in a high position.When he arrived at Ke Qi's place, the emperor felt that Ke Qi was very stable and would not be afraid of his approach, so he left his seat willfully and walked to Ke Qi's side.When Ke Qi writes a character, he reads it.

Ke Qi only got the attention of the invigilator when he was taking the exam in college.

Instead, the examinees at Ke Qi's front, back, left, and left tables saw that the emperor was always standing in this place, and their hearts were beating so fast that they could jump out of their throats.Especially the one on the left of Ke Qi, this unlucky candidate, because of being too nervous, bursts of sweat broke out on his forehead.

The little eunuch serving the emperor thought silently in his heart, I don't know what kind of splendid essay this examinee has done, but the emperor actually stood beside him to the end. One must know that the emperor usually sits everywhere, and rarely has the opportunity to stand like this After a long time, don't the noble dragon's feet feel sore?

When Ke Qi finally finished writing all the content, the emperor directly picked up his paper.

Just when I handed in the paper early.Ke Qi thought so in his heart.

When the exam was over, the examinee at the table on Ke Qi's left was helped out by the eunuch because his legs had already weakened.When Ke Qi saw this, his heart skipped a beat. If the examinee performed abnormally, I wonder if he would blame him on Ke Qi.But what can Ke Qi do?Ke Qi is also very helpless.Emperor Karui was so willful, he came to watch as soon as he wanted to watch, this is not something Ke Qi can stop!

Fortunately, people at this time are in awe of imperial power far beyond Ke Qi's imagination.

If someone vented their anger on Ke Qi, wouldn't it be saying that the emperor's behavior of watching is not good?And how could the emperor be bad?Since the emperor was not wrong, then Ke Qi was not wrong, so the article written by Ke Qi can attract the emperor to read from beginning to end, and it will only be a good story if it spreads.

This kind of thing is precisely the easiest to spread.

Just like when Xie Jinhua finished his exams, the teahouses and restaurants were filled with legends about him.It's the same when it comes to Ke Qi. Ke Qi's recent topics are not low. The emperor valued him so much, so he called him "wisdom and clever tongue" and "sophisticated" in the storyteller's mouth.

On the day when the results were announced, Ke Qi entered the palace wearing the clothes Xie Jinhua had prepared for him, with a calm expression on his face.

When the ceremonial officer read the rankings, Ke Qi couldn't help but take a short errand.Since the emperor took away his papers to read earlier, it means that he really wrote in the emperor's heart, so the ranking in the palace examination must be better than that in the general examination, right?In other words, it shouldn't be much worse than the test time.

Sure enough, there is no Ke Qi's name in the second class.

Ke Qi's heart relaxed for a moment, but immediately tightened again.Then, he heard his own name, which was read three times by the ritual officer.No matter how calm people are, they can't help being a little excited in this atmosphere.He boldly underlined a sentence in his heart: Grandma, your grandson is the third in the whole country!

Grandma, your grandson is Tanhualang, the same curly-haired guy in your favorite TV series as Tanhualang!

At night, I must bring Xie Jinhua to burn incense sticks for grandma!

The top three in the first class were going to face the saints, Ke Qi was slightly behind the champion and the second place, led by the ceremony officer, and walked towards the hall.

Emperor Kairui obviously read all their palace examination papers. First, he praised the number one scholar, saying that he had the people in his heart and could see the suffering of the people. Ideas are practical.Finally, the emperor looked at Ke Qi.

Ke Qi was waiting for the emperor to finish boasting himself, so that he could humbly say "the emperor's praise is absurd, and the students are terrified" like the number one scholar and the second place in the list, but he heard the emperor say: "Tanhualang...well, his face is like white jade, Yan Ruochunhua is truly extraordinary in appearance, she is worthy of being my Tanhualang!"

Ke Qi: "..."

When you praise others, you always praise your talents, but when it's Ke Qi's turn, you only have face. Then why did you take my paper away and read it again, Your Majesty!Ke Qi seriously reflected on it, he obviously always relied on talent to conquer others, the emperor must have grasped the wrong focus!It’s fine if he really looks like a pretty boy—a handsome man who conforms to the aesthetics of this era must be a pretty boy—obviously, he has grown extremely fast in the past two years, and he is about to regain his abs from his previous life Now, can the face like white jade, Yan Ruochun flower and so on be used on him?

Ke Qi felt that he was played by the emperor.

Emperor Karui praised Li Xu in his heart.After using Li Xu's idea, Tan Hua Lang, who was as calm as an old man, changed his expression.

It's not easy!

Even if Ke Qi looks ugly, since the emperor praises his face like white jade and his face like a spring flower, then he has to find a way to use white jade to make a mask to cover his face, and then paint a few flowers on the mask to make him more famous. What the emperor said did not come to nothing.What's more, Ke Qi is really good-looking.So, when the emperor's words of praise for his appearance were spread, Ke Qi somehow became... the most beautiful man in An Dynasty.

According to the rumors, many people who have never met Ke Qi turned Ke Qi into a delicate flower.

Because of the records of living and living, Ke Qi, the title of the most beautiful woman in An Dynasty, has been passed down to later generations.

After many, many days, the number one beauty, Ke Qi, will always receive paintings for him by admirers, and most of those paintings are drawn for him according to their own imaginations.Ke Qi looked at the sissy on the painting, and silently raised a middle finger in the direction of the palace.Karidi really screwed him over.

If Ke Qi knew what was going on in the future, he would definitely be crying at this moment to ask the emperor to take back his words.It's a pity he doesn't know.

Immediately afterwards, the No. [-] scholar paraded through the streets. Although the emperor made fun of Ke Qi, Ke Qi was indeed better-looking than No. [-] and No. [-], so people on both sides of the street threw flowers on him.Ke Qi returned to Xie's mansion with the fragrance of flowers all over her body. After getting bored with Xie Jinhua, she was going to attend the Bright Light Banquet the next day.

The Bright Light Banquet is nominally a banquet held by the emperor to entertain the new scholars, but Kairui often only grants an imperial decree and does not come to the scene in person.The last bright light banquet was presided over by the prince instead of the emperor.Regarding this Bright Light Banquet, everyone didn't talk about it, but they were very curious in their hearts, wondering who would be able to attend instead of the emperor.Maybe it's the prince, it is said that the prince's health is better; maybe it's... the other princes.

In addition to representatives of the royal family, the examiners will also participate in the Mingguang Banquet.In addition to the chief examiner, officials from the Ministry of Rites or the Imperial Academy also participated.

Ke Qi felt a little pity in his heart.If Xie Jinhua's qualifications were higher, or if he had not been seconded to the Chongwen Museum, then he might be able to attend the Mingguang Banquet as an official today.In this way, the husband and wife are both guests at the banquet, which is a good story.

However, Xie Jinhua was not there.

Ke Qi pressed this little regret, and patiently talked to the number one scholar sitting next to him.

The number one scholar smiled and said, "You're going to present flowers later, but have you thought about what flowers you want to pick?" It has always been a tradition at the Mingguang Banquet for Tanhua Lang to present flowers.The exotic flowers and plants all over the yard were selected by Tan Hualang, and whichever one he picked, he had to cut that one himself, and then present it to the emperor on the spot.

The emperor did not come last year, and the flowers were collected by the crown prince.

Ke Qi said: "Choose whichever one blooms well, it's always a good sign."

"That's very true." The champion nodded in agreement.Flowers for the emperor must be chosen well.

Soon, all the officials arrived.Then, when the ceremony officer yelled "The emperor is here", everyone stood up and saluted.This time the bright light banquet actually attracted the emperor to come!The emperor did not come by himself, he brought all his sons except the prince.

The princes were led by Prince Rong, and they looked very pleased with themselves.

Ke Qi faintly had a bad premonition.

When Ke Qi presented flowers, his premonition came true.Emperor Karui really found something for him again!This flower was supposed to be dedicated to the emperor, but the emperor waved his hand and said: "I have dedicated flowers to me in previous years, let's change the pattern this year. I wonder who will be lucky enough to receive the flowers from Tan Hualang."

Everyone thought that presenting flowers was a shameful thing, so they were a little envious of Ke Qi.When the emperor said this, everyone could only sympathize with him.

Both the emperor and the prince are sitting here. If this flower is not dedicated to the emperor, it can only be dedicated to the prince.If the prince is there, then it is reasonable to dedicate it to the prince. After all, the emperor himself said not to spend it, and the prince is orthodox.But now, the crown prince is not here, but it is a special period of turmoil in the reserve position. It is not appropriate to dedicate this flower to any prince!If Ke Qi presents flowers to Prince Rong, does it mean that he is optimistic about Prince Rong?

Ke Qi's mind was running at high speed.

All eyes were on Tanhualang.Prince Rong seems to be determined to win.He is the eldest son of the emperor, if Tan Hualang understands what is the order of seniority, he should dedicate flowers to him.And as long as he received the flowers at the Bright Light Banquet, there would be more things to do in the future!

Ke Qi seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat clearly.Don't panic!We must find a way out!

Got an idea!

Ke Qi quickly organized his words in his mind, and then smiled slightly.

Your Majesty, the students don't want to spread dog food on such a serious and serious occasion, you forced me to do so!
