After the end of the Spring Festival, Gu Chengzhi hadn't let go of the excitement. According to him, he had found the enthusiasm for studying when he was young, and he really liked reading at that time.Chu Junyi didn't stop him either, but when Gu Chengzhi wanted to intervene in the preparations for the separation, Chu Junyi slapped him at the table.

"Go read your book!" Chu Junyi said coldly.

"I feel sorry for you." Gu Chengzhi said very pitifully.

Chu Junyi's face turned red in an instant, and he said from embarrassment: "Be honest, you just love me!"

"Don't be angry." Gu Chengzhi grabbed Chu Junyi's hand and kissed it lightly.

Even his ears were red now, Chu Junyi only felt uncomfortable all over, he pulled his hand back forcefully, gritted his teeth and said, "You have been saying this for a few days, and you say it every time, but you don't change it!"

Gu Chengzhi has been very excited since Chunwei, Chu Junyi thought he would take this opportunity to read books, who would have thought that he would start to tossing, and he was still tossing on the bed, I really can't bear it!

Fortunately, Gu Chengzhi still remembered what he said before, tossing and tossing, but he still held back at the critical moment.

But even so, Chu Junyi still had a headache from being tormented by him.

"Don't be angry." Gu Chengzhi grabbed his hand again, and said slowly, "I just feel happy, a little...uncontrollably happy."

During the exam, looking at the test papers on the table and the candidates around him, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood.

At that time, he had a pure mind, read and practiced calligraphy only for a hobby, and he was sincere to others and himself, without any falsehood.

He was obviously awake, but there seemed to be a hot current in his body, which flowed into his limbs and bones along with the blood, and finally gathered at his heart.

The steady heartbeat is gradually intensifying, beating vigorously again and again, and the feeling of joy and excitement is also sweeping along.

In the examination room, all the candidates were writing furiously, but Gu Cheng was the only one who was staring at the test paper in a daze until the invigilator couldn't take it anymore and came over to remind him, which brought him back to his sanity.

There was a little hesitation when I picked up the pen, but when I put the pen down, it was like flowing clouds and flowing water, and there was no pause for a moment.

Gu Chengzhi's condition is unprecedentedly good, much better than any time before, even the invigilator at the side was a little surprised, he recognized Gu Chengzhi, thought he was staring at the test paper in a daze because he had encountered a problem, Who would have thought that after taking up the pen, it would seem like a different person... It can only be said that he is indeed a person who is valued by both the emperor and the prince, and this imperial examination should not be difficult for him.

This kind of excitement has continued since the start of the exam until now, and it was especially obvious when he saw Chu Junyi. For some reason, Gu Chengzhi wanted to bully Chu Junyi.

This emotion was more intense in the middle of the night, so...he was really out of control.

Chu Junyi blushed and stared at him fiercely.

Gu Chengzhi sighed, hugged him, and said softly, "It's my fault, I'm a little... out of control."

Chu Junyi snorted coldly and turned his face away.

"Do you really not need my help with the matter over there?" Gu Chengzhi asked in a low voice.

"No need." Chu Junyi replied forcefully.

"Well, call me when you need it." Gu Chengzhi kissed him on the cheek.

When Chu Junyi's anger subsided a little, he broke free from Gu Chengzhi's arm and pushed him back on the chair, "The list will be released in March, and the palace examination will be in April. There are only two months left before and after. Stop distracting yourself."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Chengzhi replied with a smile.

Chu Junyi's face softened a little, but he heard Gu Cheng's words with admiration: "Junyi, you are really more and more demeanor of a good wife!"

Chu Junyi: "..." I feel sorry for this guy, his head is really flooded!

He grabbed the book on the table and threw it in Gu Chengzhi's face. Chu Junyi gave him a cold look, and then walked out of the door with a colorful and cold face.

Gu Chengzhi took the book that fell on him, looked at the back of Chu Junyi leaving, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Chu Junyi wandered outside for a while, feeling tangled in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to go back to Chu's house to pick up some books from the Library Pavilion, but Gu Chengzhi's "beauty of a good wife" made him very uncomfortable. If he went back, wouldn't he be a more "good wife"? !

After struggling for a while, Chu Junyi still decided to go back. If Gu Chengzhi was talking like this, then... just... sleep in separate rooms!

right!Just sleep in separate rooms!

After figuring it out, Chu Junyi's mood also began to improve, from high spirits to embarrassment to anger, from gnashing of teeth to pleasure.

Chu Junyi sat in the carriage and returned to Chu's house in a very happy mood.

It's a pity that the Chu family seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black mist. Chu Junyi felt extremely depressed when he got out of the car. He restrained the expression on his face, returned to the courtyard, called two servants, and went to the library.

The palace examination only examines policy questions, and the emperor himself sets the questions, and the questions are answered immediately. In addition to testing Anbang's policies for governing the country, there are also psychological quality and on-the-spot response ability.

Master Chu's collection of books was sorted out by Chu Junyi. He remembered that he had seen the dossiers on policy, but he didn't say how to use them. He just wanted Gu Chengzhi to have a look, and there might be unexpected gains.

After rummaging through the boxes, Chu Junyi finally found what he was looking for, and when he packed up the extra things, he was too tired to move anymore.

The servants that Gu Chengzhi recruited are all peasant women from his village, and they are all good at work, but they can't read, and Chu Junyi doesn't want others to touch those ancient books, so he has to do it himself .

After resting for a while, Chu Junyi went downstairs with the dossier in his arms, and handed all the dossiers to the accompanying servants except Zangshu Pavilion, and then walked back rubbing his arms.

On the way back, I met Fifth Master Chu. As soon as Chu Junyi saw him, he led others to avoid him. Seeing the gloom on that beautiful face, Chu Junyi sighed secretly and walked away.

Back at the academy, Gu Chengzhi laughed when he saw such a pile of files, "You really are..." The following words were swallowed back under Chu Junyi's sinister gaze.

"Say it, why don't you say it?" Chu Junyi narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke softly.

Gu Chengzhi coughed lightly, picked out a file and opened it to read.

"Look, I'm leaving first." Seeing that he was watching enthusiastically, Chu Junyi twitched the corners of his lips, and said that he was about to go out.

"Where are you going?" Gu Chengzhi asked reflexively.

"In order to let you study with peace of mind, I decided to sleep in separate rooms!" Chu Junyi said solemnly.

"No!" Gu Chengzhi's expression changed instantly, he stood up and pulled him back, his tone was urgent and fast, "Don't leave!"

"Go read your book, I still have something to do here." Chu Junyi said with a frown.

"What could be more important than me?!" Gu Cheng was in a hurry.

Chu Junyi glared at him, can he still show some face? !

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Gu Chengzhi also felt a little uncomfortable, but he really didn't want Chu Junyi to leave, so he quickly slowed down his voice and said, "If you have something to do, go and do it, and there's no need for room allocation."

Chu Junyi remained silent.

"I want you to accompany me..." His tone was lost and his expression was sluggish. It seemed that Gu Chengzhi really didn't intend to lose face.

Chu Junyi: "..." He will never admit that he has softened his heart!Absolutely not!

"There are only two months left, just let me save myself..." Chu Junyi's voice subconsciously softened, and when he realized it, he kept silent, with a slightly annoyed expression on his face.

Gu Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief, hugged him and sat back on the chair, picked up the file and looked through it, "Let's read it together."

Chu Junyi: "..." I really wanted to slap myself, and cursed by the way: Let your heart soften!Soften your heart!

Gu Chengzhi read several volumes, and suddenly said: "Father wrote it."

Chu Junyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the unfolded file. It was indeed the handwriting of the third master Chu.

When he saw half of it, Gu Chengzhi said again: "The emperor will like the article written by father."

"What?" Chu Junyi didn't understand what he meant.

"I mean, the emperor will like many of father's arguments and ideas." Gu Chengzhi put down the file, "If it was the emperor's proposition at that time, maybe father's ranking could be higher."

The second master Gu and the third master Chu both participated in the imperial examination during the late emperor's period. Many of their views coincided with each other, and their philosophy of governing the country was also very similar.

The emperor treats the second master Gu differently, and the big reason is because he regards the second master Gu as a confidant.

As for the second master Gu who took care of Chu Junyi in those years, he should also treat the third master Chu as a confidant, and he should take care of the only son left by his friend no matter what.

"Father doesn't value ranking so much, and he is very satisfied with that palace examination." Chu Junyi said softly.

Master Chu San performed very well in the palace examination, and he was very satisfied with both his performance and his ranking on the gold list.

"I know." Gu Chengzhi smiled.

The third master Chu and the second master Gu can become good friends, it is certain that they have congenial temperaments, they are looking at the future, not entangled in the past.

"Do you know the emperor's preferences very well?" Chu Junyi asked.

"It's okay, but I still know the general preferences." Gu Chengzhi smiled.

"Is this cheating?"

"Not counting." Gu Chengzhi said with a smile: "The ministers in the court are more aware of the emperor's preferences, but how many of them can win the emperor's favor?"

"You want to say that you are great?" Chu Junyi squinted at him.

"I want to say that no matter how you like it, strength is the most important thing." Seeing his unbelief, Gu Chengzhi smiled and said: "Of course, knowing the emperor's preferences is still very advantageous."

"If you have an advantage, keep it." Chu Junyi stood up after finishing speaking.

Gu Chengzhi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly pulled him back.

"..." Chu Junyi gave him a sad look, "I still have something to do."

Gu Chengzhi remained silent.

"There are still things to prepare."

Then silence.

"..."

silence.

"No room allocation, I'll just go out for a while." Chu Junyi said discouragedly.

"Then remember to come back, I'll wait for you to eat." Gu Chengzhi smiled happily.

Chu Junyi: "..."

Gu Chengzhi flipped through the file with his brows stretched, and saw that Chu Junyi looked up without moving, and the corners of his lips curled into a happy arc.

Chu Junyi blinked, and the entangled emotions disappeared, and the joy in his heart made him laugh unconsciously.

In fact, this is also very good.
