There are more than a thousand people who came to participate in the general examination, and each person was assigned to a small room, so the examination environment would only be a little better than that of the rural examination.

Every exam is not only a test of knowledge, but also a great challenge to mentality.

The spring is cold, and it is not allowed to wear interlayer clothes in the Gongyuan. If you are exhausted, you are allowed to wrap a few more layers of single clothes, and you are not allowed to bring quilts and other things to keep out the cold.

Wen Yumu was considerate and asked Xiaoshu to change the sleeves of Xue Yi's inner jacket to be closed and lengthened a little. A button was added to the top opening of the thumb, and the button was buttoned when it was cold. It was a simple fingerless glove. Most of the hand is wrapped, only the five fingertips are exposed to hold the pen.

After the three exams, the whole soul felt that it had experienced a baptism. Compared with the sultry heat of the rural exam, it was a different feeling in my heart.

Wen Yumu picked Xue Yi up at the gate of the Gong Yuan, and didn't ask him how he was doing in the exam, but just put on a cloak and gauntlets for him, and got fully armed.

"I made apricot skin tea at home, you go back and drink some to warm your body." He said warmly.

Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing it's not ginger tea, I'm really afraid you'll pour me a pot."

Wen Yu Mu Wan'er said, "You reminded me, drink a bowl of ginger soup first when you go back."

Xue Yi: "..."

Why does he talk so much!

He hurriedly said: "I felt a little cold when I was in the Gongyuan, but after adding clothes to warm my body, I felt better again, and I didn't feel any discomfort at all."

Wen Yumu looked at him with a smile.

Xue Yi blinked fawningly, took his hand and said: "I still remember that I threw up during the provincial examination, but now I feel in good health, thanks to Mumu's recuperation."

Wen Yu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Ginger soup is for conditioning the body."

Xue Yi looked at him pitifully, "Mumu..."

"Okay, okay." Wen Yumu was defeated first, and said with a smile: "I'm not joking with you, but you still have the strength to bargain with me. I think you are in good spirits. If you don't want to drink ginger soup, drink some hot water." apricot skin tea."

"But isn't the apricot skin tea delicious when it's cold?" Xue Yi asked.

Wen Yu said: "You remember wrongly, it is sour plum soup."

"But I remember the same thing with apricot skin tea."

"No, you remember wrongly."

"……All right."

When he got home, Xiaoshu brought over the apricot skin tea that had been warming in the small stove. It only contained a small bowl, which really warmed his body.

After drinking the tea, Wen Yumu stuffed a piece of almond candy into his mouth, and said, "You change your clothes first, and I'll prepare food for you."

Xue Yi nodded again and again.

In the kitchen, black-bone chicken soup with bamboo shoots, pointed bamboo fungus, and black-bone chicken has been simmering all the time. At this time, the soup is mellow, so just skim off the oil and serve it out.

The almond cheese is also prepared in advance. It has solidified and formed at this time, and the cross pattern is drawn with a knife, and the sweet rock sugar water and melon and fruit are added, which is beautiful and sweet.

According to Wen Yumu's instructions, the cook had already cut and prepared the ingredients. Wen Yumu fried a piece of fried pork with mushrooms and stir-fried pea sprouts, served two bowls of rice, and the meal was completed in one meal.

Some braised, sauce-flavored, and greasy ones are all not allowed to appear on today's dinner table.

After finishing the meal, Xue Yi stretched his waist, looked at Wen Yumu with hooked eyes, "Mumu..."

Wen Yu murmured: "Why are you thinking too carefully? As soon as I heard your tone, I felt that you had another crooked idea."

Xue Yi muttered, "It's a crooked idea."

He snorted confidently, "Then I'll tell you, last year you promised me that you would be able to consummate the house in the next year, and now it's the next year, and I've passed my exams, should you keep your promise?"

His eyes have become explicit, like a hungry little wolf, fierce and greedy with fierce cuteness.

Wen Yumu sat on the chair, blushing.He unconsciously buckled the back of the chair and said, "I agree..."

Xue Yi was overjoyed, happily jumped up and hugged him around a few times.

"Mu Mu, you are the best." He rubbed Wen Yumu's circle vigorously, and moved his lips to kiss him lingeringly.

Although the night has not yet arrived, the house is already full of beautiful spring scenery that makes the moon blush.

……

([-] words are omitted here, ^_^)

The next morning.

Xue Yi's eyelashes trembled, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he saw Wen Yumu's peaceful sleeping face beside him.

This was the first time he woke up and Mu Mu didn't wake up, he was a little greedy, almost as cautious as holding his breath.

There is no trace of blemish on his delicate skin, it is as delicate and moist as beautiful jade, making people want to hold it in the palm of their hand and play with it carefully.

Pale pink lips, the corners of the lips are always slightly upturned, just like his eyes, always with a faint smile, gentle and modest, just looking at a person, it makes a few peach blossoms quietly fall on the lake of people's hearts, and the spring scenery enters the ripples .

The brocade quilt failed to cover his entire body, revealing half of his beautiful collarbone and white and smooth shoulders, with some faint crimson imprints on it, which contrasted with the lotus red flower imprint on the back of his neck, tempting people eyeballs.

He looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but approached slowly, with his lips lightly pressed against his ear.

Wen Yumu was awakened by the kiss like a touch of water. He opened his eyes and looked at Xue Yi.

Seeing that he woke up, Xue Yi also let go of his hands and feet, and leaned over to hug him into his arms, "Mu Mu, are you tired, do you want to sleep again?"

Wen Yumu leaned in his arms, feeling a little tired, but he could still accept it, but the foreign body sensation in the back made him very uncomfortable, a little ashamed, but also a little secretly happy.

He lowered his eyes halfway, and said lazily: "Don't sleep, just rest for a while."

He slightly raised his eyes to look at Xue Yi, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and it was a bit more cool and charming, and the lazy ending sound was also particularly lingering, winding gently like silk.

This was something he didn't realize, but Xue Yi was the first to be hit, and he reacted again.

In the past, Mu Mu was also very attractive to him, but it was only inspired by natural physical impulse and psychological emotional need to get closer to him.

But today is very different. He never expected that one day, a blurred look in his eyes, a lazy ending sound, or even the curvature of his jaw would induce the depression in his body, making him want to turn into a wolf, and turn into a wolf. He eats and eats, and possesses forever.

This kind of crazy possession and lack of love almost erodes people's mind and makes people lost.

His eyes gradually changed, and his dark eyes were full of aggressive meaning. He licked his lips and bit the mark above his spine.

"Ah..." Wen Yumu groaned softly, his already weak body trembled, and clung to him weakly.

He lowered his head, sucked and kissed his earlobe, and exhaled in a low voice, "Mu Mu, let's do it again."

……

Seeing that his masters were always upset, Xiaoshu couldn't help wondering, so he thought about going to ask, but he heard a blushing and heartbeating sound at the door.

Hey, this...

She ran away quickly.

In the past, I occasionally bumped into the masters playing intimately, but nothing like today.

She stood under the flower corridor, patted her chest and exhaled, and finally calmed down after a while.

The eldest young mistress sent people to teach her before, and one of them mentioned this matter, but she didn't meet her until today.Presumably, the young lady was afraid of affecting the second young master's exam before, so she never got too close to the second young master.

The young lady is so virtuous, she was moved and thought, fortunately, the young master passed the exam, Huayin conceived is much more difficult than a woman, and a lot of hard work is needed.

Thinking that there might be a white and soft young master and young lady calling her aunt in the near future, she couldn't help showing a longing smirk.

……

At the end of March, the results of the general examination were announced, and a total of more than 230 tribute scholars were admitted. Xue Yi's name topped the list, and he was the member of this session.

Xiao Man temporarily handed over the affairs of the shop to Yan Yi, the elder sister of the twin siblings. During this time, he found that although she was a woman, she was calm in dealing with things and handled things better than her younger brother, so he thought that their backgrounds were not good. , presumably they are going to stay in Xue's family for the rest of their lives, so they have thought about nurturing the two of them.

This time the rankings were released, he was going to squat to watch the rankings, so he logically handed over the power in his hands temporarily, and it was also to see if they could be alone.

After the list came out, he slapped his thigh overjoyed, and ran home as fast as he could.

"I'm in it, I'm in it—"

"Young master, young master, you have won the first prize!"

His breathless report seemed to reappear the scene of the township examination that day.

Wen Yumu nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

This time there is no need to spread bounty money, one reason is that there will be a palace examination immediately after, so there is no need to be too happy; secondly, this is Danyangfang where the rich and powerful gather, and the neighbors are not uncommon.

"Quickly report to the teacher." Xue Yi also showed joy and ordered loudly.

Xiaoman responded, and ran to Wen's mansion to report.

Xue Yi dragged Wen Yumu to the study, saying that he would write a letter to his family, "Mother and sister-in-law brought Yaoyao and Qing'er to Beijing."

Wen Yu said: "Exactly, I also want to write a letter to Yu'an, asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

The two of them are very confident in the results of the palace examination. Generally speaking, winning the Huiyuan may not necessarily guarantee the first-class admission to the Imperial Academy, but Xue Yi's side is different.

Firstly, when he was a scholar, he won three grades in small and medium grades, and now he's even graded in Zhongjie Yuan and Hui Yuan. The imperial court also has a high chance of naming him the number one scholar for auspiciousness.

Secondly, the top few candidates in the palace examination were hand-picked by the emperor, as long as Xue Yi didn't lose his standard, the senior brother would give him a hand with his private voice.

After the letter was sent, Xue Yi calmed down again and actively prepared for the palace examination.

It's the last fight, he can't afford to lose!

Seven days later.

The imperial examination officially begins.

Early in the morning, everyone in the Xue family woke up, watching Xue Yi and Wen Yumu go out with eager eyes.

There are very few things to prepare for the palace examination, and the environment is much better than that of the general examination, so Wen Yumu didn't worry too much, but just sent him all the way to the palace gate.

After passing Xuanwumen, there was a huge square, and the bell of Chongwen Hall rang in the distance, guiding the students to go there.

The bell rang every quarter of an hour. After three times, the palace examination began. Those who failed to arrive were considered disrespectful to the emperor and were directly deprived of their merits.

Xue Yi arrived at Chongwen Hall not long after the first bell rang, found his place to sit down, closed his eyes and rested his mind calmly, so as not to fluctuate his mood.

Candidates who come here are all excited, even if they know that they should meditate, but they can't calm down no matter what.

Zhang Wenqi also fell in love with Gong Shi. When he came in, he saw Xue Yi who was meditating with his eyes closed. He couldn't help but smile, and adjusted his mentality, closing his eyes like him.

After the bell rang three times, the emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked in with eunuchs and guards, and took the seat of honor in the hall.

After a few words of encouragement, it was announced that the palace examination had begun.

Although few people knew about the relationship between Xue Yi and Elder Wen at this time, in order to avoid suspicion, Elder Wen took the initiative to report illness and staggered the general and imperial examinations.

Therefore, the emperor ordered the Minister of the Household Department to take charge.

The topic of the imperial examination was chosen by the emperor himself, Xue Yi unfolded the test paper, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly—he guessed it right.

When he was at home, he once watched the stars with Wen Yumu. At that time, he saw a comet entering the Big Dipper, which was an ominous omen of war.

When they ate hot pot together on New Year's Day, he also heard the emperor and Wen Changning mention that Nanyue seems to be a little restless, uneasy and kind.

Although he only mentioned it, Xue Yi still remembered it in his heart. After returning, he deliberately checked a lot of files about Nanyue.

And this time the topic is: There are tigers in the south, kill them?Surrender?

Those who are interested can guess where it means even if they are not as well-prepared as Xue Yi.

Some of the people who didn't hear what was going on outside the window were confused and couldn't think of it at all. They only thought that the emperor was asking about the countermeasures against the fierce tiger.

This question was so tricky that even the expressions of several examiners changed when they saw the paper.

It's not because they don't understand, but because they are worried about the emperor's obvious intentions.

Xue Yi made a draft in his heart, picked up his pen, and began to answer the questions.

For a while, needles could be heard in Chongwen Hall.

Most of the day passed, and the palace test was over.

Some students forced their way out of the hall, but their feet went limp, and they struggled with each other while holding on to the pillars in front of the hall, covered in cold sweat.

Although most of them didn't lose their composure, they all showed the look of the rest of their lives after a catastrophe.

Answering questions under the eyes of the emperor is really a great test.

On the other hand, Xue Yi didn't change his expression, his heart didn't beat, and his condition was even much better than after the exam, as if he just came here at random and answered a question casually.

There were only more than two hundred people participating in the palace examination, and the examiners quickly finished reading the papers and selected the top ten for the emperor to read.

The papers were arranged in order, and the emperor saw Xue Yi's name at first sight.

He is well-learned, well-prepared, and good at writing. The examiners always think that he is much higher than No.2.

The emperor was overjoyed, and originally wanted to raise his hand, but he didn't expect that this kid didn't need him to make a move at all.

As expected of the teacher's favorite person, he really excels in everything.

Hubu Shangshu stood by and saw that the emperor was having fun reading Xue Yi's paper, so he said: "This Xue Yi from Bitan County, his Huiyuan was also ordered by the old man, and I secretly think that his strength is far superior to the second one."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, your Majesty, he was very handsome. I hesitated just now, whether to be the number one scholar or the first prize, but he has already won five yuan in a row, so I have to think twice. My lords and I Still decided to point him as No.1."

The emperor said with satisfaction: "What Zhao Aiqing said is very true. The number one scholar is naturally won by the most talented. How can one judge by appearance."

He carefully read the content of Xue Yi's paper again, and couldn't help but feel more satisfied. The diction is concise and exquisite, and the handwriting is clear and powerful. First of all, it is comfortable to read.

Looking at the content, it also has something to say, and obviously has a good understanding of South Vietnam.

What a smart guy.

With a wave of his vermilion pen, he was the number one scholar.

The news quickly spread throughout the capital, Wen Yumu and the others also got the news, and they were all happy.

After stumbling along the way, he finally waited for this moment.

The palace quickly sent someone down to teach the new scholars the etiquette, in preparation for the Qionglin Banquet tomorrow.

In the early morning of the second day, the first and third students rode horses, and the rest of the second and third students took cars in turn. They set off from Xuanwumen, walked across the street, and arrived at Anhuamen in the inner city. Then they detoured through Anyuanmen and entered another street. Go around and go back to Xuanwu Gate.

The inns, restaurants, teahouses and restaurants on both roads were all fully booked, and the one by the window was scrambled by ten people.

Wen Yumu booked a private room by the window in a restaurant early on, opened the window and waited to see Xue Yi's demeanor straddling the street.

The people in the capital went crazy. In the past, the horse-crossing parade once every three years was a rare event, but this time it was especially sensational because of Zhuangyuanlang.

Rumor has it that Bitan Xuelang is tall and slender, looks like Pan An, looks like Song Yu, handsome and extraordinary, he is a rare handsome boy in the world.

What are you waiting for?look!

The entire Gyeonggi area was empty for this reason, and two streets were almost crowded.

"The number one scholar is so handsome."

"Such a handsome and beautiful man is really rare in the world, and only I, who is so big, can give birth to such a talented man."

There were also sweet voices, who threw a champagne down from the upstairs, and asked with a smile, "Has Mr. Lang ever married?"

Wen Yu watched with a smile, his heart filled with pride.

But I saw Xue Yi riding a horse, passing by his window slowly, looking up at him, and said loudly: "I love my wife more than my life, and I have no luck to be favored by others."

Even if there are tens of millions of people, only you can enter my eyes and my heart.

There was a moment of silence, and then the crowd burst into applause, and some girls couldn't help screaming, why is there such an affectionate and handsome man in the world? !

The horse has slowly passed by, Xue Yi is still looking back, the spectators followed his gaze, and saw a gentle and elegant Huayin young man standing peacefully by the window, with a gauze gown with wide sleeves and black hair like a waterfall Ruyu couldn't help admiring, it really is a pair of unparalleled couples.

After watching for a long time, Xue Yi reluctantly looked away until his neck could no longer bear it.

After straddling the horses and parading through the streets, the Jinshi entered the palace one by one, preparing to participate in the Qionglin Banquet.

Zhang Wenqi was also among them. He won the 56th place in the second class, and he won the first try. He is already a very good young talent.

It's a pity that everyone in this class is doomed to be overshadowed by that radiant son of heaven.

The author has something to say: Confess the madman Xue Xiaoyi
