My family was in ancient times

Chapter 34 Palace Exam

The emperor has never had a good impression of Lu Yiping, an unruly and daring villain from a small foreign country.

If it wasn't for his prince, the emperor would have wished to cut this wild man who made the prince's stomach into a thousand pieces.

But at this moment, after carefully reading Lu Yiping's exam answer sheet, he was truly amazed...

"Okay, good answer!"

The emperor laughed, and couldn't stop saying hello, maybe for Lu Yiping, what he heard from the forums of various schools and other people was nothing, and he didn't take it to heart.

But the answers he wrote on the paper are all accumulated by later generations after thousands of years and discussed by countless people. They are the essence of the essence.

All the content and every countermeasure can be implemented, hit the nail on the head, and there is no nonsense. Compared with other candidates' empty talk, Lu Yiping's answer made the emperor's heart happy.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor could not wait to spread out Lu Yiping's answer sheet for all the ministers to watch, which surprised the ministers in the court and China, and quickly debated and discussed.

A few old officials who gave the emperor a headache were even more excited, and the court was boiling.

After the court, when the Emperor Longxin Joy went to see his prince, he was not angry with all kinds of disdain towards Lu Yiping in the past. Instead, he became in the mood to ask Jiang Mingsheng about the two of them...

Three days later, the Gongyuan released the list, and the place where the list was posted was crowded with people who read the list.

Lu Yiping also went, although he knew that he would not fail the ranking with the emperor, but when he saw his name written on the head of the No.1 champion, he himself was really amazed.

He didn't think that he was more knowledgeable than the ancients, and there was another mountain higher. It seemed that the emperor was really a face-saving person, and the champion was awarded to him.

Smiling, Lu Yiping didn't care about the other examinees around him who were happy and disappointed when they failed the rankings and turned back to continue preparing for the next palace exam. There was no way, the emperor sent him the questions of the palace exam...

According to the rules, the emperor usually asks casual questions in the palace examination, and then the candidates answer. Whoever answers well will win the dragon heart and become a bigger official.

However, this year's imperial examination is different from the previous ones. The emperor released the imperial list to inform the world before that this time, in addition to selecting officials and talents, he is also selecting a husband for the prince.

Therefore, before entering the palace and taking part in the imperial examination, all the talented scholars who failed to participate in the examination this time all dressed up carefully in order to show their faces in front of the emperor.

Lu Yiping also dressed up carefully to make sure that he looked good. The person who sent him the test questions before revealed that the palace test was held in the Imperial Garden in order to choose a husband-in-law for the prince.

Not only the ministers, but also the concubines and princes in the harem will be on the spot. This year's imperial examination has been completely reduced to a wedding ceremony for the prince...

Time was fleeting, and all the candidates stepped into the palace gate, none of them dared to look around, their hearts were very nervous, and their palms were sweating.

But among them, Lu Yiping is still not included. Compared with other candidates who have never entered the palace, he is a 'regular visitor' in the palace.

Following the guidance of the eunuch father-in-law, all the candidates entered the palace and came to the imperial garden.

At this time, the imperial garden has been carefully arranged, and the emperor's ministers and harem concubines are all seated.

The emperor sat on the throne, and no one dared to look up. Lu Yiping knelt down and saluted together with the examinees, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Pingshen." The emperor's voice was flat, yet majestic.

Candidates who got approval dared to raise their heads at this moment, curious and apprehensive, looking around everything around them with vague eyes.

When they saw Jiang Mingsheng sitting next to the queen, everyone's eyes lit up. There was no need to guess that the one who could sit next to the queen must be the third prince who had received so much favor, and that was everyone's goal today.

Thinking of this, all the candidates unanimously straightened their backs, hoping to be appreciated by the emperor and prince.

The formation and positions of candidates are all arranged according to their rankings. Lu Yiping is the champion, of course he is at the front, and he is really tall and strong, which is really conspicuous.

Therefore, Jiang Mingsheng, who was sitting in the upper position, saw his husband at a glance, and felt a little excited, but he had to pay attention to his manners, so he smiled in the direction of Lu Yiping.

Receiving Jiang Mingsheng's gaze, Lu Yiping also looked back, nodded slightly, and was so excited that he wanted to rush over to hold him in his arms and tell the pain of lovesickness...

"Ahem, let's get started!"

Although the movements of the two were subtle, they couldn't escape the emperor who had been watching them. He coughed and signaled for them to prepare for the school exam immediately.

First, he simply asked the examinees a few questions, and then the emperor entered into today's topic, the three problems mentioned on the imperial list.

The emperor loves face, in his heart, his prince's husband should be an outstanding talent with both appearance and talent.

The quality of the candidates this year is really good. Not only are they talented, they are all outstanding talents and personable, so everyone has passed the test of appearance.

As for the three exam questions he gave, they were comparing poetry, talking about the foundation of the country and discussing military affairs.

"Today, you can express whatever opinions you have. If there is something out of line, I won't correct you. You can speak freely... Now, you write poems first. Within an hour, whoever writes more and who writes well will then win!"

The Yunjin Kingdom is a large and prosperous country, and it is famous for its literature. There are countless literati and poets in the country, and it has become a fashion to be arty.

Therefore, the examinees were not surprised that the emperor wanted to take an examination of poetry, but expected it.

However, this poem is not a simple matter. If you want to make a good poem and sentence, you have to think a lot before you write it.

Just when the examinees started to think, Lu Yiping had already picked up a pen and began to write vigorously...

Isn't it just writing poems and lyrics? It's such a simple thing. Are there still few Tang poems and Song poems in China for 5000 years?

He has no pressure to plagiarize and cheat at all, and any conscience condemnation is not a problem before marrying a wife!

Because of the emperor's dispensation, he still used a fountain pen, his writing movements were weird, and his speed of composing poems and lyrics was astonishing, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Although I don't know the quality of the poems he made, but at his speed, it is particularly eye-catching...

A few senior ministers who were optimistic about him because of his previous test papers frowned a little. They didn't think anyone could write high-quality poems in such a short period of time.

The emperor also frowned. He wasn't worried about what Lu Yiping did, but he just felt that Lu Yiping's appearance made it clear to everyone that he was tricky...

Compared with the thoughts of the emperor and ministers, Jiang Mingsheng stared at Lu Yiping with full confidence. In his heart, he was the best husband.

Seeing Lu Yiping raised his head to look at him, Jiang Mingsheng stretched out his hand excitedly, clenched his fist in a subtle gesture of cheering.

Immediately, the ministers and concubines next to him were stunned, and they suddenly realized that their prince, did he take a fancy to the tall champion?

Thinking about it this way, everyone naturally paid more attention to Lu Yiping, and looked at the prince's expression, and began to ponder in their hearts...

An hour later, all the candidates stopped writing, and when they saw the rice paper on Lu Yiping's desk, which was obviously higher than everyone else's, they froze immediately with their confident faces.

But then I was disdainful in my heart. This is not only about the quantity of poetry, but the quality is the most important thing. No matter how much you write, the language is not smooth, the sentences are not beautiful, and it is all-purpose!

But before everyone could think too much, the emperor started laughing again when he saw Lu Yiping's paper.

"Hahahaha, well done, well done, come here, read it to everyone!"

The emperor smiled loudly on his serious face, and immediately handed the paper to the civil servant next to him, feeling overjoyed.

Everyone stared at the emperor's laughing expression for a moment, then heard the voice of the civil servant reading aloud, and opened their eyes wide...
