Chapter 503 Palace Examination
Yuan Ruan had a headache, but she couldn't tell the system, mainly because it was useless to tell the system.
She pulled Qi Yue's hand and said that they wanted to go to the doctor's office together.
Qi Yue picked Yuanruan up skillfully and pointed to the palace behind her, saying, "They are preparing for the palace examination. Do you want to go and take a look? Or do you want to wait outside for the results to be announced?"
Hearing about the palace examination, Yuanruan was somewhat excited.
She pulled Qi Yue's sleeve and said softly, "Seventh sister, let's go to the palace examination together."
Qi Yue nodded slightly: "Okay."
…
When Yuan Ruan and Qi Yue arrived at the palace that served as the examination venue, the candidates had just arrived and were waiting. There was still some time before the examination.
The students were wearing brand new clothes and standing together in small groups of two or three.
Looking closely, these students looked tired, some had dark circles under their eyes, and some even stood unsteadily, but all of them, without exception, had a pair of extremely bright eyes.
Yuanruan and Qiyue quietly approached several groups and heard their ambitious speeches:
"Finally, I have come to the stage of the palace examination! Finally, I can meet His Majesty. Finally, I can realize my long-cherished wish."
"Brother Zhou, what is your wish?"
"Hey, I wonder if I'll have a chance to see the little imperial master."
Yuan Ruan staggered, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he took two steps behind Qi Yue.
Mr. Zhou's words also attracted many students to look back.
Originally, Yuan Ruan thought that even if everyone didn't laugh at him, they would definitely complain about Zhou Langjun. Unexpectedly, Zhou Langjun actually received the support of many students:
"Lord Zhou, great minds think alike! The little imperial teacher can be said to have saved my father's life. I came to Beijing this time, hoping to meet her and thank her in person!"
"You are the Imperial Master, so you can meet with anyone you want? Also, don't even mention the title of Little Imperial Master in the capital."
"I am also very curious about the imperial teacher of Daxia. I have come all the way from Chen State and heard a lot about her legendary experiences."
…
The group was chatting animatedly, and Yuan Ruan's expression became increasingly awkward.
She took Qi Yue's hand and backed away, trying her best to avoid meeting the person that Zhou Langjun strongly supported. At this moment, she finally heard a different voice coming from behind her.
"Brother Yu Tu, I wonder what your ambition is?"
"Let everyone in Shu... know that Xia will make steady progress under my political advocacy!"
When Yuan Ruan heard this, he couldn't help but lean over to take a look, and saw that Yu Tu, who said this, was a short but graceful man with an aura of 2.8 meters.
Yuan Ruan was about to get a little closer, but his view was blocked by a gray figure in front of him.
Just as Yuan Ruan was about to take a detour, he heard the gray-clothed man whisper, "Brother Yu Tu is so talented and ambitious, why do you choose to go far away instead of near? Why don't you develop in Shu?"
Yu Tu's voice rang out, "How do you know that I have never been in the officialdom of Shu?"
Many students looked over in surprise. The man in gray paused and said jokingly, "Excuse me, you are an official."
Yu Tu didn't say anything.
The gray-clothed man was quiet for a while, and then continued, "Master Yu, I can understand your thoughts. I have also been to the officialdom of Shu Kingdom. The upper echelons are filled with smoke and miasma. There is really no need to stay there. But as for Xia Kingdom... To be honest, if I have the money to leave, I would rather go to Chu Kingdom to serve as an official as a staff officer. Because this kind of repetitive examinations, especially the questions are very tricky and narrow, to be honest, it will damage my spiritual energy."
Yuan Ruan frowned when he heard this. There was something wrong with this man in gray.
