This person was Feng Qingge's second brother, Feng Qingjue, the second son of the Feng family.
He stood against the light, his black hair neatly tied up and secured with a silver crown, wearing silver armor, exuding solemnity, but his face shattered the tranquility.
He bears a resemblance to Feng Qingge, but he appears even more ethereal.
Feng Qingjue serves as the head of the palace guards and resides in the palace guard camp. Shifts are rotated every half month, so Feng Qingge hasn't seen him for half a month.
Neither of them asked the other why they were there; after a brief greeting, they turned away.
Over there, Mo Linyuan merely glanced at the two of them, then waved his hand, and someone stepped forward to pick up all the exam papers.
He turned around, strode out of the main hall, and the two people behind him followed.
This time, Mo Linyuan and Feng Qingge were in charge of proctoring the exam, while Feng Qingjue was in charge of maintaining order in the Academy of Arts.
After the three arrived at the examination hall, Feng Qingjue took his leave and left, as he was still responsible for all the officers and soldiers and maintaining order in the examination hall.
Mo Linyuan and Feng Qingge each stepped into the vast examination hall, followed by eunuchs who carried examination papers.
"Send it out."
At the head of the examination hall, Mo Linyuan gave an order, and all the eunuchs quickly distributed the examination papers. In this huge examination hall, with hundreds of candidates, everyone had received their papers in less than half an incense stick's time.
This time, the exam was no longer just about the Four Books and Five Classics; some of the questions were set by Mo Linyuan and Feng Qingge, making them extremely tricky.
Upon receiving the exam paper, all the candidates were somewhat stunned. What kind of questions were these?
However, no one in the main hall dared to speak, and the icy-cold man did not intend to speak either.
For a moment, the examination hall was quiet, without a sound, except for the rustling of the paper.
The atmosphere was so awkward that Feng Qingge felt embarrassed. So she cleared her throat and spoke, her unique tone resounding throughout every corner of the hall.
"This written examination is unusual. Those who pass it can enter the court as officials. Therefore, this examination will not only test knowledge, but also other aspects. As an official of the Great Yan, one must be well-rounded and at least have the ability to deal with emergencies."
Most importantly, these test questions may seem tricky, but everyone will answer them differently, so you can also see a person's character and whether he is suitable to be a good official.
As soon as Feng Qingge finished speaking, Mo Linyuan, who had been silent, waved his hand, and two eunuchs carried a large incense table with a thick, yellow incense stick stuck in it. "The exam begins. This incense stick represents one hour. When the incense goes out, the papers will be collected." After saying this, he sat down.
The armchair had been there all along, and there was only one. He sat down, while Feng Qingge could only stand there.
But she felt it would be silly to stand still, so she moved and wandered around the examination hall as if she were strolling on the street.
One of the exam questions was set by her, titled "How to be an official."
She went around in circles, and everyone's answer was different, yet the meaning was the same.
They all wanted to be good officials, to speak up for the people, and to seek happiness for the people.
However, this is just one answer, not their real answer. Anyone would say such nice things, especially to their proctors, in order to gain their favor.
In the past, people would have applauded, but now it seems somewhat insincere.
