Bai Juci was tidying up the clutter on the table. During this period of time, he almost lived in the academy, studying late into the night with his classmates. Only after hearing what the other party said did he raise his head.
"If the scholars in the capital also take their leave early, there are too many of them, and something will inevitably go wrong!"
"Besides, the learning atmosphere in the academy is so strong. If I study for one more day, I'm afraid I'll be more confident. What do you think?"
The scholar who asked the question nodded quickly.
Then he picked up his luggage and hurried home with his companions.
When Bai Juci had packed up his things, he happened to make an appointment with Zhou Zhaonian, a scholar named Zhou, to return home together.
"Mr. Bai, there's a weekly report today. Would you like to go with me?"
During this period, the two had already known each other, and their homes happened to be on the same street, so they often made appointments to get together.
"Okay, let's go take a look together."
Bai Juci took a few quick steps and patted Zhou Zhaonian on the shoulder. "Looks like you've done well in your review!"
Zhou Zhaonian laughed a few times, "Sir, please don't make fun of me. I wouldn't even dare to try your Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Bai Juci shrugged his shoulders, amused by the other person's expression. "You're the only one with a big mouth. Let's go!"
Bulletin board.
"New rules for the Spring Examination."
"The exam was actually scheduled at the Imperial Palace."
"There are four gates in total. Enter through each gate according to the instructions on the test sheet. Make sure you look carefully at the gate to avoid missing the time."
"If you stay longer than half an incense stick, you won't be allowed in."
"No items are allowed into the examination room. The examination room is single-person, and all clothing, food, and even ink, paper, and pens are arranged by a dedicated person."
"This arrangement is too generous!"
"After the daily exams, everyone can go home on their own."
"In the capital, all post stations and hotels have been requisitioned. Simply present your exam slip and you can stay there for five days free of charge."
"Five days. The exam lasts three days in total, which means you can move in today."
The scholars at the front were discussing which restaurant was cheap.
In previous years, restaurants would raise their prices in advance before the exam, but this year, you only need this exam slip to get it for free.
“It would be great if this could continue forever.”
"You crow's mouth, how many more times do you want to take the exam? I hope I can pass it on my first try."
"Around five days ago, it's only half the usual price."
"There is a post station near the palace gate, which is specially designed for women. All women taking the exam can go here."
As soon as these words fell, several women gathered around, and the one in pink was the most eye-catching.
"I said there would be special arrangements. At least I don't have to squeeze in with those stinky men."
"Miss, if the master knew you came here to participate in the Spring Examination, he would break my legs."
"Don't be afraid. I've never let Daddy really beat you. When I pass the exam, His Majesty will definitely give me a new mansion, and we'll live there then."
"But the master is only thinking about finding a husband for the young lady!"
"Those stinky men can't even do arithmetic better than me. Recruiting them would only be a burden. It's better not to have them!"
Zhou Zhaonian heard the master and servant chattering non-stop, so much so that he could hardly hear the scholar's voice.
He lowered his head slightly and saw a pink peach blossom dress passing by his eyes.
Finally he left, he still wanted to listen to the weekly report!
In the blink of an eye, the other person's clothes came back again.
"Hey, I'm calling you."
Zhou Zhaonian turned around and saw the woman in pink. She had curved eyebrows and fair skin, like a doll. He was stunned for a moment.
"Have you seen enough, idiot?"
"Let me ask you, which way is the women's post at the palace gate?"
Zhou Zhaonian finally came to his senses and quickly pointed forward.
The woman immediately took her maid and left without looking back.
"Brother Zhou, this is for you." Bai Juci took something from the side and saw Zhou Zhaonian standing there, looking not far away.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Zhaonian waved his hands in panic, "Nothing, nothing."
"Let's go home!"

Yonghua Palace.
Qin Zhenzhen turned over and sat up using the force.
Seeing that no one noticed that he was awake, he tried to climb down from the bed.
Although she is only seven months old, she is an adult inside. She has been practicing every day since she was able to sit.
So much so that she can now crawl freely.
"My little ancestor, why did you fall down again?" When Liusu picked up something, she found Qin Zhenzhen lying on the ground again.
Concubine Chen specifically instructed that the little princess didn't like others to always be by her side, so she just spread a thick blanket on the ground and didn't require anyone to be by Qin Zhenzhen's side.
But every time Liusu would be scared to death.
"Gao..." What bad intentions could a seven-month-old baby have?
She just wanted to steal a bite of peach blossom cake.
"My little princess! You can't eat this peach blossom cake yet. Your four little teeth can't handle it."
"I've prepared some milk cake for you. I'll take you to eat some." After saying that, Liusu picked up Qin Zhenzhen and carried her to the special baby chair.
This milk cake was naturally developed by Concubine Chen herself. It is full of milk aroma and melts in the mouth. It has a little bit of sugar and has become Qin Zhenzhen's favorite delicacy recently.
"Die, die..." Qin Zhenzhen kept muttering to herself and pointing outside. Liusu nodded quickly.
"Princess, I understand. I will take you to the Yangxin Palace after we finish eating."
"But before the Empress left, she specifically instructed that you must not delay His Majesty's official duties, otherwise you will not be allowed to go again."
[Hmph, it's obviously that censor who's really annoying. If the Emperor won't take action, then I'll have to lead him in doing it.]
[I'm going there today for a formal reason. The Spring Examination is coming up soon, and I want to be the invigilator.]
[Aunt Liusu, can you please hurry up! ]
[The Emperor will be leaving the palace again soon without me.]
Liusu couldn't hear Qin Zhenzhen's thoughts, but seeing the little princess dancing and gesticulating, she understood that she was anxious.
She quickly called the little palace maid in to pack up her things, picked up the princess and rushed to the Yangxin Palace.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, he met the Fourth Prince.
"Greetings to the Fourth Prince."
Whenever the Fourth Prince saw his sister, he would hold her tightly in his arms. Now when he saw Qin Zhenzhen, he immediately ran over.
"Sister, hug me."
[Oh, how come I met my fourth brother again? This silly guy.]
[Oh, stop spitting on my face! Oh my god, you're only three years old, please don't let me fall.]
The three-year-old Fourth Prince carried Qin Zhenzhen in his arms and followed Liusu to the Yangxin Palace.
The Fourth Prince had very few opportunities to see Qin Yuanhao, so he never dared to go in.
But this time he really couldn't bear to leave Qin Zhenzhen, so he carried his sister in his arms.
Emperor Dad, please save me. My brother can’t hold me anymore.
[Ouch, dear Fourth Brother, don’t kiss me! ]
