Liu Chun added: "I thought the princess would send Master Yue to the Imperial Examination Hall."
"No, the imperial examination is jointly hosted by the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy. Someone might recognize me, and it's not appropriate for me to see him off to the door. Yue Lingfeng's exam cannot have any doubts or gossip from others."
Liu Chun was surprised: "The princess has thought very carefully about Master Yue."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "This princess believes in him and believes that he can become the top scorer in the imperial examination."
"Princess, Master Yue is indeed excellent, but there are also many excellent candidates among the candidates. What if Master Yue fails to be the top scorer?"
Wen Yu waved her hand nonchalantly: "So what if I don't have a high school? What do I lack? The top scholar?"
There are many top-ranked officials in the civil and military fields. Is it the top-ranked official that she is interested in? She is interested in his face!
If Yue Lingfeng hadn't felt that he couldn't desecrate her with his white body and insisted on staying with her until he became the top scorer in high school, otherwise she would have followed her own ideas and didn't care whether he was the top scorer or not, as long as she liked him.
Liu Chun understood what Wen Yu meant: "The princess is right. No matter what status a man has, as long as the princess likes him, he can be taken and enjoyed."
Wen Yu: ...
The word "enjoy" is very spiritual. Wen Yu gave Liuchun a thumbs up.
"Go back home and catch up on some sleep."
"Okay, Princess. I'll have Liu Qiu warm the bed with the heater. You can go back and have a good sleep."
As the sky brightened, at the hour of Mao, the Imperial Examination Hall was crowded with candidates taking the Spring Examination. But despite the large number of people, no one dared to make a noise. They all lined up quietly, waiting to be searched.
A row of imperial guards stood in front of the Imperial Examination Hall, looking intimidating and oppressive.
At this time, an official walked out of the gate, holding a gong in his hand. He knocked it gently and said loudly: "It's Mao time, the search begins--"
"Keep quiet and orderly, no noise, those who cause trouble will be disqualified from the imperial examination."
"The first one to enter——"
Cheng Enwen squeezed next to Yue Lingfeng and whispered, "Why are you a little late?"
Yue Lingfeng thought of Wen Yu and curled the corners of his lips, but did not explain much to Cheng Enwen.
"I know even if you don't tell me. It's because of Miss Lei that we lost some time, right?" Cheng Enwen asked curiously, "Have you given away your lucky bracelet?"
Yue Lingfeng nodded.
The search was both fast and slow, and it seemed to be an extremely thorough one.
Soon it was Yue Lingfeng's turn.
The officer looked at him and said, "The 48th person is coming in—"
Yue Lingfeng bowed to him, then strode towards the Imperial Examination Hall and soon entered the inspection area. Beside the area, two teams of imperial guards stood solemnly, ready to be ordered at any time.
The prosecutor raised his hand and took the file, carefully comparing Yue Lingfeng's appearance with the portrait on the file to prevent someone who was not his real self from taking the exam on his behalf.
After confirming that it was him, they asked him to take off his coat and boots and carefully checked whether he had hidden any smuggled books. Then they checked Yue Lingfeng's ears, wrists, palms, and soles of his feet thoroughly to make sure there was no writing on his body.
She even parted his hair to examine it more closely.
After confirming that there was nothing fishy, the prosecutor finally opened Yue Lingfeng's package. In addition to the pen and inkstone, and some regular steamed buns and pancakes, there was also a string of red candied haws wrapped in wax paper.
He was stunned. It was the first time he saw a candidate eating candied haws as dry food.
"Your dry food is quite unique."
As he spoke, he carefully checked the writing brush and inkstone, and then broke up the dry food one by one to check, even the candied haws.
After confirming that there were no problems, the inspector looked at the inspector who was sitting upright in the back and nodded, saying, "Sir Yang, Yue Lingfeng has been inspected."
The supervising officer was in charge of all matters outside the examination room curtains. He was in charge of printing and receiving papers, sealing, transcribing, searching, and inspecting.
The supervising officer of this spring examination was dressed in the blue uniform of the Hanlin Academy, with a crown on his nose, big, round, and bright eyes, and a hint of baby fat on his face. He was very interesting, and looked as if he had not yet reached adulthood.
But judging from the fact that he was able to serve as the supervisor of this year's Spring Examination, we know that he must be no simple person.
Coincidentally, this supervisor was the mascot arranged for Wen Yu by the emperor when she went to study in the Hanlin Academy. Yang Cheng was so surprised by Wen Yu's interpretation of the idiom that his eyes widened.
Yang Cheng pushed the tip of his nose, nodded slightly, and drew a stick from the stick holder beside him, "Pass, number 48."
Upon hearing this, the prosecutor picked up a pen and wrote down the serial number on the file, then repeated to Yue Lingfeng: "Pass, number 48."
Yue Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed an imperial examination, and the examination was really thorough. However, this also represented the fairness and rigor of the imperial examination, which was a good thing for the candidates.
By the time he had put on his coat and packed his bag, the next candidate was already being searched.
At this moment, the prosecutor's suspicious voice suddenly came from behind him: "You look very nervous."
The examinee was frightened by the sudden question and trembled. He swallowed and said, "Students, students are easily nervous."
The prosecutor's eyes flashed with sternness when he heard this: "If there is no problem, why are you so nervous?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the candidate's package, opened it carefully and checked it. After finding that there was nothing wrong, he carefully checked the whole body to make sure that there was indeed nothing fishy.
The inspector frowned upon seeing this and shook his head: "He walked all the way to the examination, not only did he not panic in the face of danger, but he was also so nervous. How can he be trusted with such an important position?"
The candidate's face turned pale. Although he was only an inspector, the officials who were seconded to be in charge of the imperial examinations usually had high official positions.
He received such an evaluation before he even started the exam. I'm afraid his career in officialdom will be difficult.
But after he passed the test, he still breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his whole body.
At this time, the prosecutor suddenly asked: "Wait, why are you relaxing all over but your legs are still clamped so tightly?"
A trace of panic flashed across the candidate's eyes when he heard this, but he forced himself to calm down and thought, "It's okay, we won't be discovered."
But the inspector actually raised his hand and called the imperial guards over, "Something is wrong, take off his underwear."
"How can this be? It is totally disgraceful! I will never accept such humiliation!" The candidate was shocked, with humiliation in his eyes.
Yang Cheng's attention was drawn to him. He slowly walked forward and ordered, "Check!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his underwear was suddenly pulled off by the imperial guards, and his buttocks were spread apart.
The candidate was so frightened that he immediately clenched his fists subconsciously, but his face turned pale.
"Master Yang! There's something!"
As soon as the examiner finished speaking, the imperial guards immediately grabbed the candidate, made him kneel on the ground, then forcefully spread his buttocks and pulled out a rolled-up strip of silk from his hole.
When it was unfolded, it was covered with densely written words the size of a fly's head.
Yue Lingfeng, who watched the whole process from the side, frowned tightly.
In order to cheat, they actually thought of such a dirty method. I am afraid that it will implicate all the candidates.
Sure enough, the next second, the inspector Yang Cheng said with a serious face: "All candidates will be re-examined."
