The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace examination. The entire examination lasted a total of three days.

During this period, all candidates must stay in the specific examination area and are not allowed to leave under any special circumstances. They can only leave together after the palace examination is over.

Although it is said to be three days, in fact, there are only two days of actual examination.

The first day was etiquette training, where officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War were responsible for teaching them how to meet the emperor and the etiquette to follow when taking exams.

The next morning, there were examinations on horseback archery and foot archery. In the afternoon, there was an examination on skills and bravery. The examinees demonstrated their abilities with the aid of bows, swords, stones and other objects. The examination content and process were roughly the same as those of the imperial examination.

The third day is the internal examination, which is the policy essay, involving military-related issues such as military tactics and military strategies.

In order to prevent candidates from bringing in anything bad, nothing is allowed to be brought into the palace examination.

After entering the examination area, everyone ate the dry food provided and wore the clothes distributed.

When Zhao Ye thought about not being able to see her husband for three days, and that her husband would have to meet the emperor for the palace examination, she must not break any taboos or anything go wrong!

But he didn't dare show it on his face, for fear that his husband would see him anxious and become uneasy too, which would affect his performance in the palace examination.

Li Shao had actually seen through it a long time ago. He had always been the most sensitive to Ye Ge'er's emotional changes, but since Ye Ge'er pretended that nothing was wrong, he would not expose him.

She just hugged him tightly and comforted him softly before entering the martial arts garden.

Li Shao didn't feel nervous, just a little unhappy. Apart from the fact that he would be separated from Ye Ge'er for three days, the thought of having to kneel down to the emperor when he took the palace examination was really infuriating.

He had never knelt before anyone, but when he thought about it, now that he had come to this world and had a wife and children, he could not do things according to his own temperament as before, he had to adapt to the local customs. This was the only way.

On the first day of the palace examination, all 150 candidates were required to arrive at the Martial Arts Garden next to the Imperial Palace before the hour of Mao to undergo identity verification and body searches before they were allowed to enter the garden.

Carriages and people seeing off guests are not allowed to approach within 300 meters of the Martial Arts Garden.

After Li Shao got off the carriage, he said, "Don't worry, Ye brother, there will be no problem. You guys go back, I'll go in."

He turned and walked towards the martial arts garden, and the guarding soldiers let him pass after verifying his identity.

After entering the park, the information was checked again, roll call, grouping, and clothing distribution were carried out, and then the first day of etiquette and rules training began.

There were a total of 150 of them, divided into 15 groups of ten each.

It seems that they are divided by ranking. Li Shao is the first in the first group, and that Mr. Zheng is also in the same group with him.

He still looked the same, with his chin raised higher than other people's foreheads. When he saw Li Shao from the same group, he gave him a fierce look, which made Li Shao speechless.

Among the others, there were many who were interested in Li Shao, and today they finally got to see him in person.

Just looking at Li Shao's physique and his aura, I knew he was a powerful man. I thought that I must compete with him after the palace examination.

However, it is not convenient to approach and talk to them now. When they are eating and sleeping, there are officers and soldiers on duty nearby, and whispering is not allowed. No one wants to break the rules and cause trouble.

The next day is the real palace examination. The emperor will come to watch and have overall control and supervision of the examination.

After getting up early and having breakfast that day, they went to the examination venue as required and lined up to wait for the emperor to arrive.

There were several people who looked like officials in the stands. They were introduced as the chief examiner, Minister of War Dong Yuan, the invigilators, Minister of the Secretariat Chen Wenxuan, Minister of Personnel Zheng Yongchang, and Imperial Censor Zhou Mincai.

There were also some officials from the Ministry of War, such as the Assistant Minister of War, the Doctor of War, the Deputy Minister of War, and officials from the Honglu Temple.

After the candidates bowed to the examiner, they continued to wait together.

At about 9 o'clock, a loud shout came from afar: "The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone straightened their clothes and looked in the direction where the voice came from with nervous and respectful expressions.

Soon, the emperor, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown on his head, strode in, surrounded by a group of guards and personal eunuchs.

Everyone lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look directly at the emperor's face. Li Shao took the time to take a glance. He looked to be in his thirties, with a decent appearance, not handsome.

However, his face was dignified, his eyes were sharp, his posture was upright, and he seemed to exude the aura of a king.

As the emperor approached, everyone saluted in unison according to the etiquette they had been taught yesterday, shouting, "Long live the emperor!"

Jing Xiangting walked to the main seat in the stands, sat down, slowly swept his eyes over the crowd, and then said in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."…

After everyone stood up, Jing Xiangting encouraged the candidates and then announced the start of the palace examination.

From the stands, one can have a panoramic view of the entire examination hall. Looking at the strong and powerful candidates below, Jing Xiangting felt in a good mood. "These Jinshi candidates all look very good. I hope they can all become pillars of the court in the future."

Eunuch Yu on the side quickly agreed with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise! He added the military examination to select so many talents!"

"I heard that the first place winner of this year's martial arts examination is a genius, and he used a huge rock weighing hundreds of pounds as a toy in the examination room!"

"Oh?" Hearing him say that, Jing Xiangting became interested. It is rare to find someone who is born with supernatural powers.

He looked down. Each palace examination was divided into groups according to ranking, and the first place was the first one standing in the first group. He looked at Li Shao carefully and felt that his appearance and aura showed that he really had ability.

"Minister Dong, do you know anything about this person? Is it really as Dequan said?" Jing Xiangting asked with interest.

Dong Yuan hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, it is true as Eunuch Yu said. The first place in this examination is Li Shao. As far as I know, this person is participating in the military examination for the first time."

"Furthermore, he has always been ranked first since the county exams began. I have also read his essays, and he has his own unique insights into military tactics."

"Good!" Jing Xiangting was even more satisfied now. He then looked at Zheng Yongchang beside him and said, "Minister Zheng, I remember your youngest son also participated in this martial arts exam, right?"

Zheng Yongchang said respectfully, "Your Majesty, my son Zheng Qian doesn't have much ability. He only got fourth place in the imperial examination. Thank you for your concern. This is a blessing for him."

"Minister Zheng, there is no need to be modest. All the candidates present today are talented, and the fourth place in the imperial examination is one in a hundred."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I will encourage my son even more when I return home, and repay Your Majesty's kindness in the future."

"Very good!"

"You all will come with me to watch the upcoming martial arts examination."

"Yes, Your Majesty."….

At this time, Dong Yuan glanced at Zheng Yongchang standing beside him and felt very happy.

What a pretentious guy! His youngest son got fourth place in the exam, so he must be very angry. The first place winner, Li Shao, even caught the emperor's eye. Zheng Yongchang must be furious now.

This old man was thinking of having his youngest son pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar in both civil and military subjects. Now his dream has been shattered!
