Correspondence continues.Instead, the busiest ones became two gyrfalcons, flying around all day long.But he gained a lot of weight. After all, with Xiao Qi's different ways of feeding, it's hard not to get fat.

In a blink of an eye, the red plums in the plum garden bloomed again.Blooming in the wind and snow is a unique beauty.

Due to the severe cold, Xiao Qi has already moved the table case to the Zhengde Hall.The white jade bottle on the table case was empty, which looked extremely abrupt.

Xiao Qi went to the plum garden by himself because there was no juvenile picking plums to give.The quiet sound of the piano came faintly, Xiao Qi paused, and walked to the depths of the plum garden.

The person playing the piano is Wang Wanjun.She was sitting in the pavilion in a gorgeous dress, her figure was thin, and she felt lonely just looking at her.

Three months ago, Han Chengye was seriously injured, and Han Yunting asked for orders to take command.Like his elder brother, she was born to belong to the battlefield.Regardless of his standpoint, Xiao Qi would never imprison such a woman in the palace, make her a commander, and allow her to lead a hundred thousand elite soldiers to the battlefield.

There are two more poor people in the palace, one is lovesick and the other is concerned.

Seeing Xiao Qi, Wang Wanjun stood up and saluted: "The concubine sees the emperor."

"Get up." Xiao Qi's tone was light, "I'm here to break the branches, you continue."

The sound of the zither sounded again, and Xiao Qi shuttled among the plum forests, breaking some plum branches that looked pleasing to the eye.The sound of the piano came to his ears, and Xiao Qi said: "I don't play it as well as he does."

Back to Zhengde Hall with Meizhi in his arms, Grifalon arrives with a new letter and is playing with Feijiu.Fat Chirp's bird relationship is ridiculously good, but after meeting a few times, he easily took down the two birds of prey.Became a favorite of the group.

Fat Chirp stood on the back of the gyrfalcon, squawking happily.

After inserting the plum branch into the jade vase, Xiao Qi walked up to the spear falcon and skillfully opened the bamboo tube.

There was no note inside.

Xiao Qi was taken aback for a moment, the bamboo tube was closed, it should not have fallen out.Picking up the gyrfalcon and walking to the window, Xiao Qi finally saw what was inside clearly by the light.

It is a strand of blue silk.

The green silk wraps around the fingertips, and we share the white head with you.

Looking at the hair wrapped around his fingertips, Xiao Qi's eyes were as gentle as water, and he whispered to himself: "Where did you learn the tricks?"

How can I not.

Xiao Qi asked Li Zhongsheng to find a pouch, put his hair in it, and wear it with him.He has always disliked wearing these things, always finding them too troublesome.It's different now.

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year has come.

At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the seat belonging to the queen was vacated again.Xiao Qi played with the wine glass in his hand, lacking interest.

He received a letter the day before yesterday, and made an appointment to release the sky lantern tonight.After the palace banquet was over, Xiao Qi was the first to leave and came to Zuihuaxuan alone.

Zuihuaxuan was still dilapidated and dilapidated, and a sky lantern rose gracefully.

Xiao Qi looked up, thinking instead of mourning: "Mother Concubine, the child is not alone anymore. You have a spirit in heaven, please rest in peace."

After the new year, the three-yearly imperial examination begins.

County examinations, government examinations, township examinations, general examinations, palace examinations, and selection at various levels.Among them, the general examination was held in the capital, presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the top [-] were admitted as tributes.Gongshi will take part in the palace examination half a month after the announcement of the list.

In June, nearly a thousand candidates who passed the rural examination gathered in the capital, which can be described as a wealth of talents.

The moment Su Yanfeng entered the inn in white clothes and a mask, his refined demeanor attracted many eyes.

As if he didn't realize it, he walked to the counter: "Is there still room?"

The shop clerk checked and said with a smile: "Guest officer, it's a coincidence that you are here, and there is only the last room left."

Su Yanfeng took out the money: "Thank you."

Just as he was about to leave, a voice sounded from the side: "My lord, stop."

Su Yanfeng turned his head to look, and saw a man who was about his age walking towards him, folded his fan, and looked like a scholar: "Teng Jinrui, the son of the servant of the Lower Works Department, I don't know what to call him."

Greetings on the surface, but actually showing off their family background.

Su Yanfeng said heartily: The current emperor is my husband.No matter how powerful your father is, he is no match for my husband.

However, he has always acted in a low-key manner and does not want to make public.What's more, no one believed it.Reciprocated: "Su Juntong. Nobody, nothing worth mentioning."

Juntong is his word.Before taking the imperial examination, the master held a crowning ceremony for him.

After farewell, we will meet again.A few times the soul dream is the same as the king.

It's a word he chose.

After entering the room, Su Yanfeng locked the door behind his back, stood by the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, with a slight smile on his lips.

After a year away, he is back.

"A total of 920 three candidates passed the provincial examination." The Minister of Rites reported the situation to Xiao Qi, "The general examination will be held in ten days."

"Is there a roster of candidates?" Xiao Qi asked.

The Minister of Rites hurriedly presented the roster.

The township examinations come from all over the world, and the time is different, so it is impossible to register according to the results, but only on a first-come, first-served basis.

Xiao Qi held the roster in his hand, flipping through the pages one by one.I finally found the name I wanted to see on the penultimate page.

Su Juntong.

Juntong is his name, Xiao Qi knew it, he wrote a letter to say it.I know more about the origin of these two words.

Satisfied, he closed the roster: "No problem."

Su Yanfeng stayed in the inn for nine days. Unlike other candidates who got together to recite poems and fight against each other, he stayed in the room all the time.

In order to prevent missing questions, all candidates will take the general examination on the same day.

In the early morning of the tenth day, a group of people walked towards the palace in a mighty manner.After entering the palace gate, everyone looked left and right, only Su Yanfeng walked quietly at the end of the line, extremely calm.

A man beside him caught up: "Why is your son wearing a mask?"

Naturally, he was afraid of being recognized by the minister.

Su Yanfeng said slowly: "The appearance is ugly and shameful."

His mask only covered the upper half of his face, and the tip of his nose was exposed.The man took a closer look: "But I don't think you are an ugly person."

"The upper half of the face is disfigured, so it's ugly." Su Yanfeng responded calmly.

After walking for half a stick of incense, I finally arrived at the place of the exam.

The examiners check the candidates' identity documents and test certificates, and they can only be seated after they are correct.When it was Su Yanfeng's turn, the examiner glanced at the mask on his face, thought for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong with the face?"

Su Yanfeng replied: "Disfigured, it's hard to see people."

The emperor specifically explained that the candidates' clothing habits should be respected and no offense should be made.It's just half a mask, and it's justifiable, so don't be embarrassed.

Su Yanfeng was seated successfully.

You can't see the emperor in the test.Su Yanfeng was not surprised that the other party did not show up.After all, the rules cannot be broken.As long as he passes the test, he doesn't have to worry about not seeing him.

With the bell as a sign, the examination officially begins.The content of the examination is roughly divided into four books and five classics, five-character and eight-rhyme poems, and policy questions.It needs to be completed within two hours.

Su Yanfeng answered the question without distraction.

He doesn't like being trapped in the deep palace because of doing nothing.Now that the opportunity is in front of him, he will do his best to get it.

Time flows by.When there was still a cup of tea before the end, Su Yanfeng put down the brush and shook his sore wrist.With confidence.

Then wait for the day when the list will be released.

Su Yanfeng was waiting, and so was Xiao Qi.During this period, the two had a tacit understanding and did not send any more letters.

Both gyrfalcons made their home in the palace.Without him, the food is great.

Half a month later, the imperial list was posted in the busiest place in the capital.The common people and examinees squeezed together to watch, and there was a sea of ​​people.

"Who is this Su Juntong? He actually won Huiyuan!"

"Huiyuan's surname is Su, and I am also surnamed Su. We belonged to the same family 500 years ago! I am honored!"

"I don't seem to have heard of any high-ranking official with the surname Su, so he should be from a poor family."

People don't care about other things, they only care about who gets the first place.

In the title of the gold list, Su Juntong is at the top of the list.For a time, the reputation spread far and wide.

Hearing the people's discussion, Su Yanfeng, who was standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, left satisfied.Didn't push into the crowd to enjoy the compliments.

He just wants to hear someone praise him.

Inside the palace.

Xiao Qi opened the roster of candidates who passed the examination.The first name on the first page made him twitch his lips.

Examination results and rankings are jointly agreed upon by the examiners.In this matter, Xiao Qi did not intervene in the whole process.He knew that the other party would definitely pass the test, but he was pleasantly surprised by his ranking.

the first.

won the first place.

Xiao Qi and You Rongyan could no longer suppress the thoughts in their hearts: "I want to hold a banquet in the Imperial Garden for all the candidates who have passed the examination. You can arrange it, the sooner the better."

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was not surprised, so he went down to prepare.

It is a good thing for the emperor to cherish talents, so that the country can be strong and strong.

Su Yanfeng who learned of this matter whispered: "It seems that someone can't wait."

So is he.

It is now July, which is the most beautiful time for the Royal Garden.Two hundred tributes gathered in the Imperial Garden.Su Yanfeng, as Huiyuan, was naturally arranged in the position closest to the emperor.Others also sat down in order of ranking.

After a while, the emperor in black dragon robe came slowly.Everyone turned their eyes to him, but he only looked at one person.

The four eyes met, and they retracted their gaze tacitly.

Su Yanfeng lowered his head to hide his smile.

Finally, we meet again.

In front of the Holy Majesty, it is natural to try your best to express yourself and try to leave a good impression on the emperor, so that the chances of passing the palace examination will be greater.

The palace examination is assessed by the emperor himself, and the final result is jointly decided by the emperor and the ministers.Among them, the emperor naturally takes the lead.

When the bold one started, everyone took turns reciting poems to make a counterpoint.I don't dare to talk about state affairs yet, after all, I haven't entered the court as an official yet.It is a serious crime to discuss government affairs indiscriminately.In case any sentence is wrong, not to mention affecting his career, his life may not be saved.

During the whole process, only Huiyuan was eating seriously and did not participate in it at all.

Xiao Qi couldn't help smiling when he saw that someone had been picking grapes to eat.There are too many grapes, I will give them all to him later.

Seeing that everyone else had almost finished their performance, Xiao Qi picked up the grapes on his table, walked to Su Yanfeng's side, and put them on his table.

Looking at the person opposite, he did not hesitate to praise: "Hui Yuan has a brilliant literary talent, I am very happy about it."

Su Yanfeng quickly stood up, calm and unhurried: "Thank you, the emperor, for your praise. The grassroots would never dare to be the emperor. The emperor is the dragon and phoenix among men, shrewd and martial."

Once back and forth, it seemed as if they had returned to the days when Su Yanfeng first entered the palace, when the two of them were acting and performing tricks on each other.

They finally met.
