Bamboo horse is king

Chapter 493 Palace Examination (1)

Rumors and rumors on the street naturally spread to the Shen family. When Pei knew about it, she became furious and couldn't afford to get sick.

Shen Shikun was furious and asked people to find out the source of the rumor.

Before he could find out, the Pei family had already dug out the outer room and brought the outer room and the child to Shen's house in a grand manner to ask Shen Shikun for an explanation.

The two sons born in the outer room were very similar in appearance to Shen Shikun, and when they met, no one would believe that they were not father and son.

Shen Tianhong and Shen Qingcheng were very disappointed with Shen Shikun, but now, with the overall situation in mind, they had to protect their father no matter what, and chose to make big things into small things.

The Shen family planned to settle the matter as soon as possible, but at this moment, someone found out another identity of the outer room, the illegitimate daughter of the third bedroom of the Ning family.

Shen's family, Pei's family, and Ning's family were all involved in the sex scandal, which was talked about by the world.

Shen Jue'er watched the play wonderfully, and she had a premonition that a "noble" aunt and two embarrassing younger brothers would soon be ushered in their house.

The daughters of the five major families, regardless of their concubines, will never be concubines unless they marry into the royal family.

Shen Shikun's outer room is probably about to set a precedent for this.

If Shen Shikun welcomes the outer room into the mansion, the Pei family and the Pei family will naturally not agree, if they do not accept the outer room into the mansion, the Ning family will not agree either.

Like this, I'm afraid it will be a stalemate for a while.

Whether to offend the Pei family or the Ning family depends on Shen Shikun's own decision.

What happened was that Mr. Shen was very angry and disappointed with his son.

The entire Shen family had a delicate atmosphere.

It was inevitable that they would be laughed at when they went out, so Shen Qingcheng and the other sisters all agreed not to go to Qingyun Courtyard, but stayed quietly at the mansion.

Time flies, Shen Jue'er and Shen Xiyue ushered in the palace examination.

Since it is a palace examination, it is naturally held in the main hall.

Shen Jue'er and Shen Xiyue entered the palace to face the saint, and followed the eunuch to the Jinluan Hall. Along the way, they lowered their heads and kept their eyes fixed.

When we got to the place, the eunuch said, "You two ladies wait a moment!"

The eunuch entered the Golden Luan Hall, and within a short while, there was a chorus of singing, "The emperor has an order to announce that Shen Jue'er and Shen Xiyue will meet!"

Shen Jue'er took a deep breath, and together with Shen Xiyue, walked slowly into the Golden Luan Hall.

The two sisters knelt on the ground, pressed their left hands to their right hands, arched their hands on the ground, and slowly lowered their heads to the ground.

"My daughter Shen Jue'er (Shen Xiyue) kowtowed to my emperor, long live my emperor!"

The emperor looked at the two of them with majestic eyes, and a deep voice sounded, "Pingshen!"

"Thank you my emperor!"

Shen Jue'er and Shen Xiyue kowtowed, then stood up, lowered their heads slightly, with respectful expressions.

According to the rules of Chaoyang Kingdom, the emperor does not allow it, and it is not allowed to look directly at the holy face.

"Shen Jue'er! Shen Xiyue! Look up!"

Shen Jue'er and Shen Xiyue raised their heads and looked at the emperor with calm expressions on their faces.

The emperor was in his 40s, with resolute features, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He was a middle-aged handsome uncle with sharp and majestic eyes, exuding the domineering aura unique to the superior.

The emperor looked at Shen Jue'er and Shen Xiyue with sharp and majestic eyes, and seeing that they did not avoid their gazes, he thought to himself, he has courage, and the Shen family has produced two extraordinary juniors.

"The two of you have passed the assessment of Qingyun Academy. You are truly versatile in both civil and military affairs. I will come up with the questions for today's palace examination. The topic is 'On the King of Beiyu Kingdom'. Answer it!"

The eunuch brought two desks filled with ink and put them in front of Shen Jue'er and Shen Xiyue respectively.

Above the main hall, the courtiers looked at each other in dismay, "On the King of the Beiyu Kingdom", what kind of topic is this?
