"Brother?" Seeing that Pei Jinglin was distracted again, Pei Qi'an tried to call out.

"It's okay, Dad asked you to take the test, so take the test, it's good to go and experience it." Pei Jinglin was stunned for a moment before recovering, and replied with a somewhat sleepy expression.

Pei Qi'an saw that Pei Jinglin was reluctant to say more, and he was a little tired, so he stopped complaining, and instead said thoughtfully: "I won't say anything, brother, you are the one who really wants to take the imperial examination. Before that, you should close your eyes and rest your mind, the imperial examination will last for three days, so you should rest up your mind first."

Pei Jinglin nodded, leaned his back against the carriage, and closed his eyes. Although he seemed to be resting, he was actually thinking about something in his mind.

But nothing more than thinking about that one person.

The imperial examinations are held every three years in Beijing, which is a major event for scholars and a major event for China. After all, it is a major event for selecting talents to enter the court and become officials, so the imperial city of Huaxia is particularly lively this autumn.

Scholars from all over China poured into the imperial city without exception.

The imperial examination was held in the Imperial College, and the carriage headed all the way to the Imperial College.

The closer you get, the more you can hear the chirping and noisy voices.

There were some cursing voices among them, as if someone had started arguing.

The carriage also stopped at this time.

"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, the Imperial Supervisor has arrived." The coachman said respectfully outside the carriage.

"Brother." Pei Qi'an picked up the package and called out.

"Well, let's go." Pei Jinglin opened his eyes in response, pursed his lips and got out of the carriage.

When I got out of the carriage, I saw a circle of people in front of me. There were young masters in fine silk and satin clothes, and there were scholars in plain clothes.

Several voices came from the surrounded circle, but the two couldn't hear them clearly.

"Brother, do you want to go over and have a look?" Pei Qi'an is very keen on this kind of gossip, and Pei Jinglin couldn't refuse with his eager expression.

"Let's go." Pei Jinglin nodded helplessly, and the two walked away.

These people watched intently, and did not notice that Pei Jinglin and Pei Qi'an were also surrounding them.

"A gentleman doesn't lie. If I say I didn't steal it, then it's definitely not me. If you slander me, I will definitely not admit it." A straight young man said neither humble nor overbearing.

"It's you, the person standing behind me just now is you, besides you, who else has the opportunity to steal my pen!" A younger young master with a childish face replied with his arms crossed and blushing. , "Seeing how shabby your clothes are, you must have taken a fancy to the Langhao pen specially provided by me in the frontier and stole my pen!"

If it is the content of what the two said, just looking at the words and deeds of the two, it is more like the young master is pestering others willfully.

Pei Jinglin looked at the young man whose clothes were said to be worn out. Although he looked thin, he had a handsome face. Although the clothes were made of linen, they were well washed and neatly dressed.

"Since you say that I stole it, then show evidence. The package I carry has also been searched by the book boy behind you, and there is no Langhao pen as you said." The young man didn't care about that ridicule. his words.

The young master became impatient, he couldn't say that he couldn't find this person, so he stretched out his hand to search, "You must have hidden it on your body, I will definitely be able to find it!"

This kind of behavior was too insulting, the young man subconsciously avoided the young master's actions, but the young master refused to accept it and stretched out his hand to hit him, while the two pushed and shoved, Pei Jinglin who was standing behind also Take advantage of the opportunity to push.

"Brother!" Pei Qi'an watched intently and didn't notice. When the two of them retreated, they didn't react until the young master accidentally injured Pei Jinglin after the young master attacked indiscriminately.

Seeing that Luo Qingzhu was about to fall backwards, Pei Qi'an was so frightened that he reached out to grab it. This was the day of the imperial examination, if he couldn't go to the examination room because of something, then he would really be a sinner through the ages.

Pei Jinglin was also caught off guard and couldn't dodge in time. He thought he would fall directly on the back of his head, but when he was thinking of turning his body sideways to prevent his head from being injured, he fell into an unfamiliar embrace, but the aura was extremely familiar.

"Prince, Prince..." Someone in the crowd saw the person and shouted in disbelief. Suddenly, everyone fell silent and knelt down one after another.

"See His Royal Highness."

When Pei Jinglin heard the chorus, his heart beat faster, and before he could react, he was supported by Chou Chenghong to stand still.

The two met again after a month.

"Hong... met the prince." Pei Jinglin subconsciously wanted to call him, but realized where it was, and changed his words immediately.

Chou Chenghong didn't respond, so Pei Jinglin raised his face to look at him, but when he saw him, he almost froze in place.

Chou Chenghong seemed to be a different person, dressed in the yellow robe of the prince, he looked extremely noble, but his face was extremely indifferent, looking at him as if he was looking at a stranger, his eyes didn't even stay on him.

Pass him and walk straight towards the two who just had a dispute.

Pei Jinglin froze in place, even Chou Chenghong, who passed by him and lifted his clothes, didn't notice.

Pei Qi'an hurriedly walked to Pei Jinglin's side, held his hand and looked up, down, left, and right, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"I'm scared to death, if something happens to you, brother, I will be guilty." Pei Qi'an muttered, and when he raised his face, he was frightened again, "Why are your eyes red, brother?"

"The sand blinds my eyes." Pei Jinglin shook his head, gritted his teeth, and turned to look at Chou Chenghong.

"Who dares to make noise in front of the imperial examination room?" Chou Chenghong walked over and swept around the kneeling people, his voice had faded from the clear and bright young man, but was a little hoarse.

At this time, a person kneeling at the prince's feet volunteered to explain the whole story clearly.

Qiu Chenghong looked down at the two kneeling in the middle, and then looked sharply at the trembling book boy behind the young master, squinting his eyes.

"You, stand up." Chou Chenghong revealed the majesty of a superior, and pointed to the book boy behind the young master.

"His Royal Highness, spare your life, Your Royal Highness, please forgive me. It's all a small fault. It wasn't that young master who stole the pen. Yes, the young one just forgot to bring it to the young master this morning. The young one framed the young master because he was afraid that the young master would blame him. Please spare your life, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The book boy may have never met the Crown Prince before, and he had a ghost in his heart, so he pointed at him like that, and said it like a bean.

When the young master heard this, his face turned green. He didn't care about the presence of the prince, so he turned around and stood up and kicked the book boy hard.

After the book boy let out a scream, he collapsed on the ground, clutching his stomach and unable to get up.

At this time, a crisp bell rang in the Imperial College, telling everyone who took the imperial examination that they could enter.

But Qiu Chenghong looked at the farce in front of him, with a trace of disgust in his eyes, and after glancing at the young master, he said coldly: "Disturbing the order of the examination room, you are not allowed to enter the internal medicine examination, and you will be expelled."
