Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

Chapter 121: Not Participating in the Question

Her question surprised Xiao Yuanshan. "Why is this so strange? It's wise for you to be patient and keep a low profile when you first arrived in Beijing. I wouldn't be surprised even if you act crazy or stupid."

Xiao Zhixing was speechless, it was so simple?

"Father, don't you blame me for hiding this from you?"

Xiao Yuanshan smiled, "No wonder, you know how to hide your incompetence at such a young age. Your father is very happy. I knew it, how could her daughter be an ordinary person? Hehe, the princess has taught you very well. Just wait and see, more and more people will run towards the guiding light. Everyone has been waiting for too long..."

Come on, it's a waste of time to ask this daughter-slave guy. He has already automatically made up excuses for the unreasonable things in his mind.

Xiao Zhixing couldn't help but hit him, "After so many years, I have never thought of relying on others. She didn't plan to use them back then, so now it's my turn to order them around?"

Xiao Yuanshan smiled, and suddenly his eyes turned red with emotion, "You don't understand, they are all former emperors..."

"The late emperor?"

Xiao Zhixing is now somewhat interested in Xiao Yuzhen. From his various arrangements and the words of these old ministers, it can be seen that he is a wise and good emperor with far-sightedness.

Even after twenty years, so many people remain loyal to him. His personal charm is definitely high.

Even Zhao Yunqi never seemed to say anything bad about Xiao Yuzhen.

Moreover, there was no system intervention in the red plane. Under Xiao Yuzhen's arrangement, the Yin Dynasty survived for more than two hundred years, and Xiao Yan was the empress. This shows his skills, foresight and courage.

All in all, the Emperor System deserves to die!

Xiao Yuanshan sighed again, "Don't blame them. The late emperor had already paved the way for the princess. She didn't have the heart to become emperor. She believed him, and ended up making one mistake after another. In the end..."

Xiao Zhixing nodded, she understood.

Once a woman falls in love with a man, even if she knows he has problems, she will think about forgiving him again and giving him another chance.

But she probably forgot that the fight for the throne was extraordinary, and if she took a step back or waited, she would miss it forever.

Because her man and her opponent is more cruel than her.

This is a reason that everyone knows. There is also an Emperor System hiding in the dark, causing trouble. It would be strange if Xiao Yan could win.

Xiao Zhixing found Ying Yi and asked her to find out who was planning to attack Chunwei.

Yin Yi was also sure that those court officials had indeed not been contacted during the day, and they had followed Bai Fengmei's actions voluntarily.

Then he summoned the eight people from the Shi family and Xiao Yun and gave them the same instructions.

On the second day, the chief and deputy examiners entered the palace and began to conduct closed-ended examinations.

Yes, the officials who set the questions for the Spring Examination in Da Sheng were these three people, plus the emperor.

The four of them will finalize the exam questions within three days, and then send the sample papers to the Imperial Examination Hall for closed-door printing by a dedicated person, which will then be guarded by the three chief and deputy examiners in person with their men.

From the beginning to the end of the three-day Spring Examination, the examiners, guards, and everyone else were not allowed to leave.

This was followed by a five-day closed-door marking session on site. A large number of marking officials and clerks had already been waiting in the Imperial Examination Hall when the questions for the Spring Examination began. They would conduct three rounds of scoring: covering the names, copying, preliminary scoring, and random cross-scoring.

On the fifteenth day, the papers are marked and the rankings are initially determined. The chief and deputy examiners then review the papers of the top several hundred to one thousand candidates three times.

Controversial papers can be decided by the three of them together. Finally, the names and papers will be sent to the palace, where the emperor will take a final look and stamp his imperial seal.

Once the final list is confirmed, it will be posted and announced, and the original test papers will also be posted to ensure fairness.

Only then could they leave the Imperial Examination Hall.

The whole process took about a month. For this reason, the Junzi Academy also suspended the exams for that month. Not only because of her, but also because several other people had to take part in the Spring Examination, so they simply stopped everything.

The next day, Xiao Zhixing followed Duke Li and Nian Changling to the side hall of Shengde Hall, which was heavily guarded by the Imperial Guards.

Zhao Yunqi was already inside flipping through a book waiting for them.

"My three dear ministers, I have already selected the categories of the questions, and you can choose the questions from them."

Fulu personally brought up a pile of classics in five batches. The questions for this spring examination would be taken from these books.

In addition to a large desk in the middle of the side hall, there are three rooms next to it, which are where they will live for the next three days.

The three of them bowed, Duke Li took the first step to pick up a book and started flipping through it, followed by Nian Changling.

They will combine and adapt the words from the selected classics or quote them out of context to turn them into the final questions.

Xiao Zhixing sat with his hands folded and glanced at the pile of books without taking any action.

Zhao Yun was surprised, "What happened to Yuan Sheng?"

Xiao Zhixing simply found an empty chair and sat down, smiling sweetly, "I have never participated in the imperial examinations, and I am afraid of making a fool of myself, so I'll just watch."

Zhao Yunqi put down the book in his hand and laughed, "Do you also have times when you are afraid of being humble?"

Xiao Zhixing said seriously, "I really don't dare to mess around. If I make a mistake in the questions and cause everyone to fail the exam, it will be a big sin. All the candidates in the world will hate me to death."

Zhao Yunqi laughed, "You are so cautious, it's precious. Are you really unwilling to give the question?"

"No, I'll just watch and learn. Maybe I'll dare to do it next time."

No matter how Zhao Yunqi persuaded her, she refused to take action. She turned around and ran to personally serve tea to Duke Li and Nian Changling, scaring the two men so much that their hands were shaking.

Zhao Yunqi looked helpless.

The Emperor System muttered, "Is there a time when she doesn't dare?"

Fulu: "Oh, my Lord, this kind of thing is the job of an old servant. If you have nothing else to do, why don't you go and rest next door?"

Xiao Zhixing immediately took action, "Thank you, Eunuch Fulu, for your understanding. I will go and rest now, then."

He then bowed to Duke Li and Lord Nian, "Thank you for your hard work, old gentlemen."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared.

Duke Li and Nian Changling looked at each other in bewilderment. They were not afraid of the hard work, but they were surprised that Xiao Zhixing really did not participate in the formulation of the questions. She missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Looking at the emperor again, he still showed no emotion, but he did not stop Xiao Zhixing from running away, which showed that he did not care about her behavior.

So for the next two days, two people in the side hall wrote furiously and racked their brains to find the source of the topic, and Zhao Yunqi would come over to join in after he finished reviewing the memorials.

Xiao Zhixing had been hiding in the temporary rest room to practice, and would never leave the room except to eat.

[Red barrage: I don't understand, why did Xiao Zhixing do this? This is a good opportunity to increase reputation. ]

【Green barrage: I am really not used to her being so honest, and I suspect she is holding it in! 】

[Yellow barrage: No, our live broadcast room is now dark most of the time every night. Something must have happened the past two nights! ]

[Red Barrage: You mean we missed some content? ]

Xiao Zhixing: Congratulations on guessing it right. This way you will feel a sense of participation and anticipation.

Finally, on the third day, the test paper was finalized, and the emperor himself determined the entire set of questions.

Xiao Zhixing then showed up slowly, without even looking at the test paper, looking completely uninterested.

"Your Majesty, both of you, thank you for your hard work. Without further delay, we will send the sample papers to the Imperial Examination Hall for printing."

The three of them were speechless about her bold behavior of taking a rest while letting her leader work.

Duke Li had witnessed her reckless behavior, and the most important thing was that His Majesty was not angry at all.

In this case, who would not suspect that she is not His Majesty's child?

The sample paper was locked in a box, and each of the three people had a key. Zhao Yunqi sent Zhang Shanhai with a thousand fully armed guards to accompany the three of them and rush to the Imperial Examination Hall with the sample paper.

She thought the journey would be safe and secure, but she didn't expect...
