After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing
Chapter 67 My Parents Are Back
Not long after, she stood up and handed the test paper to Aunt Han Ju.
After Lin Xi left, Ruan Liuying bit the pen. She didn't expect that she could walk so fast. Sweat broke out on her forehead. Although she had known the questions a long time ago, it was still different to do them on the spot.
It is much more difficult after all.
The sun gradually rose and the temperature increased accordingly.
In the examination room, only Lin Xi's seat was empty.
Even Changsun Changhua, who is always talented in writing, found this question a little tricky. It was not about how difficult the question was, but how to guess the thoughts of the person who set the question.
Even more so, it is the thoughts of the superiors, what kind of female officials they want.
Lin Xi, is she really that amazing?
Today Lin Xi wore a turquoise dress with a flower pattern on it made with silver threads. The pattern was lifelike, the satin was soft, and gave off a faint luster. When the wind blew, it looked like a dancing butterfly.
Changsun Changhua couldn't get rid of the calm look on her face when answering the questions in his mind, and the pen in his hand became more and more flustered.
Murong Pei'er didn't care much about this exam. She just noticed Changhua's nervousness and couldn't help but look at her with worry. If she were in her current condition, she didn't know if she could answer the questions well.
It's not like she doesn't know, Changhua, that she cares a lot about this assessment of female officials.
Although there were no levels in the assessment, as long as the examiner's standard was reached, it would be fine, but she wanted to come out on top in everything, and her character was much stronger than she realized.
Although she did not prepare much for the written test, this question was very straightforward. Although it seemed simple, it required the test-taker to have a deep understanding of the female official.
This made it difficult for her to answer the questions.
Aunt Han Ju had a clear view of everything. She was specially invited out by the Queen Mother to check the examination papers for the female officials' assessment. Lin Xi stood up but could not leave the examination room, so a chair was placed separately for her in the corner of the yard.
Her eyes looked at her vaguely, and she was as beautiful as someone who walked out of a painting.
Han Ju actually also wanted to know whether she had real ability to make the Queen look at her differently.
"You must hand in your paper before dark."
She spoke calmly.
As soon as the words fell, everyone unconsciously sped up.
Aunt Han Ju is now very curious about what Lin Xi answered on the test paper.
What is a female official?
It’s no wonder that the Empress would come up with such a question.
Ruan Liuying wrote a long essay and handed it in in the afternoon. She walked to Lin Xi with a proud look on her face and said with a smile, "Tell me, can you definitely pass this time?"
This time, Zhao Huaian used his connections to find out the questions in advance.
I don’t know if the palace maid who arranged the seats did it on purpose, but she actually arranged the two of them to sit together.
Ruan Liuying sat down and looked at the people who were still answering questions. She couldn't help but sneer and said, "It takes so long to answer such a question."
Until they hand in their papers, neither of them can leave.
The weather was hot and humid, and Ruan Liuying was getting a little impatient waiting, so she turned around and asked her, "Tell me, how did you win the favor of the Queen?"
She looked at Lin Xi with great interest, waiting for her answer, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from her. This time she was not angry and still had a smile on her face.
In her current state, I’m afraid she is no longer in a good mood!
She knew that Aunt Han Ju was an old veteran in the palace and could even have a say in front of His Majesty. The only people who could allow her to appear in the assessment of female officials this time were none other than those few people.
As long as she can shine in the assessment this time.
This group of people can only be her stepping stones.
No one can become a stumbling block for her.
Her paper must be the most amazing. After all, she knew the answers in advance. Moreover, she could imagine in her mind the words of praise that Aunt Han Ju would give her after seeing her paper.
As for Lin Xi, she can only be one of the few stepping stones on her road to success.
By midnight, all the papers had been collected.
Everyone was in the examination hall, waiting for the test results.
Aunt Han Ju first took out Lin Xi's article, and the first thing she saw was: "Be honest and wise, be fair and decisive, and be diligent and cautious. There is no better way to be an official than this, but it is not allowed for a female official..."
All the female examiners looked at Lin Xi's paper at the same time, the shock in their eyes was beyond words.
They have been in the palace for so many years, and there are some things that they just do but tacitly don't say out loud.
She didn't expect that someone would say all these words now, and even said them in a way that convinced them. What she wrote could be called the code of conduct for female officials.
"Yes, isn't it that what we have to do is to act according to the master's wishes?"
"Aunt Han, will this article be passed?" someone suddenly spoke up and asked.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Aunt Han Ju's face, but at this moment, she picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and said slowly in a gravel voice: "I have been."
Hearing this, some people nodded, while others frowned.
Aunt Han Ju naturally noticed this person's expression, so she asked, "Shabao, what do you think?"
The assessment aunt named Shabao quickly stood up. She lowered her head and said respectfully, "Of course I will listen to you, aunt."
"I see that you look doubtful. You can say whatever you want to say." Aunt Han Ju put down the cup in her hand, and the words of the Queen echoed in her mind again.
"If she is not strong enough, don't force it. Just think that she is not destined to be with you, but don't lose face for her."
"You can be too harsh on her, but you don't have to lower your standards because of me. I asked you to be the examiner this time because I thought the palace has been too quiet for so many years."
She had been pondering the meaning of the Queen's words for many days, but still didn't understand it at all.
Now that she had seen Lin Xi's paper, she finally understood that the Queen must have guessed that Lin Xi had some talent.
No matter how harsh she was, she was satisfied with Lin Xi's answer.
Sha Bao asked bluntly: "This case file doesn't match the palace?"
The other female officials all looked at Aunt Han Ju.
Lin Xi said that a female official's job is to guess the master's intentions, do things for the master, solve problems for the master, and even sacrifice herself for the sake of the royal family's reputation.
How can you say something like this?
"Isn't that so?" Aunt Han Ju's lips curled slightly, but no one around her felt any sense of closeness.
Shabao was stunned, and she couldn't say anything to object.
Yes, that’s what life in the palace is like.
She shook her head: "Of course, that's it."
"If that's the case, why not say it out? Could it be that your Majesty and the Queen don't have such tolerance?" Aunt Han Ju continued, paused, and slowly said: "In my opinion, her article is worthy of being circulated."
"Since you are a female official, you should think about serving His Majesty and solving the worries of His Majesty. We are still ourselves. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, the other examiners were surprised. They looked at each other for a while, then stood up and said in unison, "Yes."
No one expected that such an article could appear under the current circumstances.
On Lin Xi's side, everyone sat together.
Zhang Sun Changhua looked at Lin Xi dimly and asked gently, "Miss Lin, how did you do in the exam?"
"It's OK, how about you?"
"good."
Changsun Changhua had already seen Aunt Han Ju in the stands reading the first answer sheet, and her expression was full of satisfaction, which she did not try to hide.
She didn't know who had the answer sheet. Now, looking at Lin Xi's calm appearance, she felt very insecure.
"Lin Xi, come over!"
The young eunuch who was at the case came to them with Lin Xi's answer.
Ruan Liuying was already full of herself, but she didn't expect to hear the news that Lin Xi passed first. She was stunned and pulled the eunuch to ask, "Are you right? How could Lin Xi pass?"
Changsun Changhua pretended to be calm, but the look he gave Lin Xi became more cautious.
Murong Pei'er didn't expect that Lin Xi could pass this test. After all, she didn't take her seriously from the beginning.
He had a poor family background and no outstanding talents, but he was noticed by the Queen Mother only by chance.
But, in the current assessment for female officials, the first paper that passed was Lin Xi’s?
Ruan Liuying looked at Aunt Han Ju, who was still smiling in the stands, and felt insecure because her aunt had looked satisfied when she looked at the test paper just now.
She thought it was hers, but she didn't expect it to be Lin Xi's?
She was dumbfounded now, "You!"
Ruan Liuying pointed at Lin Xi and didn't say the next sentence for a long time.
Murong Pei'er originally thought that they would fight so that she could help from the side.
As a result of the first exam, everyone passed except Lin Xi, who got the sentence "Aunt Han Ju is worthy of being passed down."
Few people inside or outside the palace could receive such praise from Aunt Han Ju. The news spread instantly, and everyone wanted to know what kind of person this Miss Lin who was praised by Aunt Han Ju was.
When the queen heard the news, she just smiled faintly and watered the flowers in her palace, "Original, even I underestimated her."
······
Lin Xi did not take the written test seriously.
But she noticed that Liuyun was becoming less and less energetic day by day.
Finally, after the written test, she called Liuyun over. Seeing her standing in front of her listlessly, she asked, "Tell me, what happened to you? You have been listless for so long. You have been like this since you came back from leaving the palace. What happened outside the palace?"
Upon hearing this, Liuyun's tears instantly burst out.
She didn't expect that after she left the palace, she would receive the care that she had never received from her family, from her master in the palace.
This was something she had never thought of before.
Liuyun knelt on the ground immediately, hid the porcelain bottle he had been hiding on his body, and said to her: "Miss Lin, before the exam, someone sent this thing to me and asked me to put it in your food when you eat."
"Did I threaten you with your family?" Seeing this, Lin Xi took the porcelain bottle from her hand and asked.
To make her so distracted, he must have threatened her family.
"Why don't you do as they arrange?"
Liuyun shook his head, "My family members are not worthy."
Lin Xi listened to her talk about her childhood experiences.
Ever since Liuyun was old enough to understand, she has been helping her family buy things and earn money. Not to mention that now that she is in the palace, all the monthly salary has to be sent out of the palace to them.
Originally, her family was well-off, but her father was addicted to gambling and sold everything in the house that could be sold. When she was on the road, her father wanted to go gambling, but had no money, so he called her over and sold the things to the palace.
It will be difficult for her to leave the palace in her life.
What good family would let their children spend their entire lives and die in the palace?
"It would be better if you died. Only by dying can you do justice to me." Liuyun gritted his teeth and tried not to let the tears fall.
Lin Xi took her hand and said, "It's not your fault. Life is unpredictable. You just have bad luck. Now in the palace, they want to threaten you, but it's all because of me. Let me handle this matter."
In the previous generation, we encountered many such things, and now we hate it even more.
Since these people were so afraid of her shining in the palace, she just did it and left them helpless.
"As for your family, after the written test, I will have the opportunity to go home and see where your family has gone." Lin Xi said.
Liuyun shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "No need, they are not worth it."
"It's also because of me. I have to find out who wants to harm me." Lin Xi comforted her. She could see that Liuyun's heart was always tied to her family. She couldn't let go completely now. Her heart was not firm enough.
"As for the money, keep it all now. Don't think about them. Just think about yourself now. If you have no money, will they give you money?"
Liuyun shook his head, definitely not.
"So." Lin Xi held her hand tightly. "Others have never thought about you, so why should you think about them? They are your flesh and blood, but in this world, are there not flesh and blood relatives who want to harm you, kill you, and scheme against you? Are you going to let them drag you and tear you apart for the rest of your life?"
"Don't you want to think about your future?"
Liuyun's eyes were misty. He nodded and said, "Yes."
The day of leaving the palace arrived.
Lin Min took Lin Yueru and waited outside the door early. Chunhua and the nanny were standing behind them, waiting and craning their necks to look at the intersection.
Lin Xi went out in the palace carriage. She now had an upper hand in the Lin family and had the confidence to speak. When she got off the carriage, she saw Lin Hewen waiting at the door.
Lin Hewen was totally different. She was so cold and indifferent when she came from Yecheng. She even took the initiative to approach him and asked about his well-being: "Xi'er, you have worked hard in the palace."
"Yeah." Lin Xi ignored him and turned to ask Lin Min, "How's your homework going?"
The Spring Examination is approaching, and I don’t know how Xie Fangyan is preparing!
"It's OK." Lin Min replied, but she looked at her and said hesitantly, "My parents are back."
