Feng Qingge slightly opened her phoenix eyes, her expression momentarily blank and confused, as if she didn't know where she was.
Her appearance almost made Mo Linyuan burst out laughing. "Come over when you're awake, I'll take you out of the palace in a bit."
"Hmm, okay." Her face was still dazed, like a lost soul.
"Huh? Leaving the palace?" With a reaction time that was incredibly long, Feng Qingge finally came to her senses, and her eyes regained their clarity.
"Sigh, finally awake." The man sitting at the table was somewhat speechless, but still kept his eyes straight ahead and elegantly ate the food in front of him.
Seemingly aware that Mo Linyuan was mocking her, Feng Qingge didn't reply. She got up, walked to his side, sat down, picked up the silver chopsticks on the table, and started eating. She was truly starving at that moment.
Having slept for so long, I still had plenty of energy. In no time, I devoured the food and drank my fill.
Afterwards, Feng Qingge patted her belly contentedly, drank a cup of tea, and was extremely satisfied.
In contrast, Mo Linyuan next to her stopped eating as soon as she sat down, looking somewhat disgusted.
After the meal, the two left the palace together. Outside the palace, Hei Ming was already waiting in his carriage.
They prepared for the written exam for a few days. Although the time was short, Mo Linyuan was very good at handling official business. With Feng Qingge's help, the two of them quickly prepared everything.
On that day, an imperial edict was posted throughout the city, announcing that the civil service examination would begin in three days and urging all candidates to study diligently.
Once the imperial edict was posted, the candidates who had been wandering around the capital seeking pleasure just a few days ago have now stopped going out, presumably having taken the advice to study.
Over the past three days, the capital has become much more solemn. Although it remains bustling, there are far fewer pedestrians.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the next day, the written examination began.
With the major exam approaching, many candidates entered the College of Arts one after another. This exam was of utmost importance, so many soldiers guarded the entrance to prevent any disruption.
After entering the examination hall, there were several high tables guarded by soldiers at the entrance. These were for storing the writing implements brought by the candidates. To prevent cheating, there was no table for each person inside the examination hall, and everyone was provided with all the necessary examination materials.
At first, many candidates complained and protested, but after a cold shout from the officer, none of them dared to utter a word.
After entering the examination room, all the candidates sat quietly, and not one dared to make a sound.
Most of the candidates come from families with influence or wealth, so there are many rumors circulating.
This time, the current regent was personally supervising the exam, so no one dared to be disrespectful, and there were also many guards walking back and forth outside.
That day, Feng Qingge also got up very early, and after getting everything ready, she went out and headed towards the Academy of Literature.
Upon arriving at the Academy of Arts, they discovered that Regent Mo Linyuan had already arrived and was currently preparing all the exam papers.
Feng Qingge stepped forward, ready to lend a hand, but then she heard light footsteps behind her, followed by a familiar yet clear voice, "Your Highness, all the candidates have arrived. Please come forward."
The familiar voice startled Feng Qingge, who was facing away from the camera. A flash of surprise crossed her eyes, and she turned around abruptly to look at the person who had spoken. "Second Brother!" she exclaimed. Her voice was crisp and clear, and the smile on her face was more genuine than usual.
This was the first time Mo Linyuan had ever seen her truly smile. In the past, her smiles were always forced and insincere, clearly a mask.
"Qingge." The man nodded at Feng Qingge, a smile appearing on his gentle face, but without a trace of surprise.
