Chapter 383 The Palace Examination with Twists and Turns
Chunzhi immediately lifted her spirits, and she quickly sat up with her head held high.

Although Princess Liang said that she was not in a hurry, once she actually encountered this matter, she still couldn't help showing a little nervousness on her face.

"How is it? Tell me quickly!" Look, Chun Zhi hadn't even spoken yet, she was already anxiously urging.

The little servant quickly repeated what he heard from the gate of the palace.

After Chun Zhi heard this, she quickly patted her chest.

What the emperor asked Chai Dong was a chapter in "Mencius".Although she hadn't read the book "Mencius" much, she knew that Chai Dong taught "Mencius" to students when he was teaching at Bailu Academy!He couldn't be more familiar with the contents of that book.

Therefore, even if he was right in the hall, he answered fluently, his literary talent was flying, and his posture was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was even praised by the emperor himself.

However, for the people in the top three, the emperor must have asked more carefully than the people in the second and third ranks, so the emperor asked him some questions, and Chai Dong quickly responded and answered them.

After listening to Princess Liang, she couldn't help clapping her hands: "Little uncle answered well! At this time, there are not many people who can react so quickly and answer without leaking water! No wonder he can hit the mark. Xie Yuan, he can still take the No.2 exam this time! It can be seen that he is not only knowledgeable, but also courageous. Such a person is really born to be in the officialdom!"

Hearing what she said, Haruhi was also slightly relieved.

From the mouth of the messenger, the emperor even asked Chai Dong three questions, and Chai Dong answered them all well.After questioning him, the emperor turned his attention to Ma Jun, No.1 in this subject.

They also listened to Mr. Ma's performance by the way. This person is the son of a famous family in the capital, and his elder sister is the current Crown Princess. He himself has been in and out of the court since he was a child, and he has seen the emperor several times.Therefore, the current palace examination is just like a routine for him, and he answered very freely, which seems to be better than Chai Dong's.

After hearing all those things, Chun Zhi and Princess Liang both patted their chests and let out a sigh of relief.

"Now, I can feel relieved." Chun Zhi whispered.

Princess Liang also nodded. "This palace exam also opened my eyes. However, I can also see that for those who can pass the top three exams, in addition to a lot of knowledge, courage and knowledge are extremely important. The people in the second list are barely okay, but most of the third list cannot be seen. Their performance today can almost reflect their future in the officialdom."

Haruka nodded. "indeed."

Among the top three, it goes without saying that Mr. Ma performed well, and Chai Dong's performance was also good. Even No.3 Wang Zongping... Although Chunzhi didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that that guy also performed very well!However, she still feels that Wang Zongping is not as good as Chai Dong in her heart.No way, who said that was her husband-in-law?

While the two were talking, another young man ran in.For this palace test, King Liang specially arranged ten servants to run back in turn, so that Chun Zhi and the others would not miss any wonderful moments in the palace.

Seeing this person come in again, Chun Zhi hurriedly asked: "But after the palace examination, the emperor let them out?"

"No!" The boy quickly shook his head, "Originally, the palace test was over, but the emperor suddenly remembered Chai Jieyuan's identity, and asked him suddenly—"Is Aiqing really Chai Yi, an aide of King Yong 20 years ago?" Son of Bo?'”

drink!
Chun Zhi and Concubine Liang both exclaimed again.

Chun Zhi's figure flickered, and he almost couldn't sit still.

Princess Liang also gasped. "What about him? How did he answer?"

"Chai Jieyuan replied, yes."

Chunzhi suddenly felt cold hands and feet.

She knew that things would not end so smoothly.How could those people just let them go like this?
"And then?" Princess Liang asked again.

"Then... the little one came back." As the boy said, he quickly stepped aside.

Chunzhi's whole heart was immediately put on the oil pan, and was being slowly tormented by the small fire.

When she was waiting to hear what these people said about the previous palace examination, she never felt that the time was so difficult.But now... hey!She started worrying again!

She felt that another day had passed before the next servant rushed in.

"Don't visit me, tell me straight up!" Princess Liang's mood was only a little more relaxed than Chun Zhi's, but she couldn't wait any longer.

The servant paused, took a deep breath quickly, and said directly: "The emperor admired Chai Jieyuan's frankness very much, and praised him several times in public. Then he asked him how he has lived these years, and what has he encountered?" Difficult. Chai Jieyuan answered them one by one. He also mentioned knowing Mrs. Yuan, saying that he can have today, all thanks to his mother who single-handedly raised him and accompanied him through every hurdle with no complaints or regrets. His wife. After hearing this, the emperor sighed a few words, and then praised him in public, "Chai Aiqing really has a heart of a child, and she is also a romantic person. I am very relieved to see it.""

"And then?" Chun Zhi hurriedly asked again.

"No more." The boy shook his head, "After the emperor finished that sentence, he didn't say any more. Then, the eunuch announced that today's palace examination is over, and then the emperor left with all the princes."

that's all?there is none left?
Chunzhi blinked, but she still couldn't react.

Princess Liang was so happy that she took her hand. "Little aunt, it's all right! Father, he didn't scold little uncle, but praised him! Although he mentioned grandpa, he didn't say anything bad about grandpa. It can be seen that he has let go of this matter at least on the surface! He Now that you have expressed your opinion, then other people have no right to bully you with that past incident, so you can rest assured!"

"Is that so?" Chun Zhi blinked.

Princess Liang nodded quickly. "That's it! You heard it just now. Father is praising my uncle for having a pure heart! He didn't feel uncomfortable when he saw his uncle, but he was very relieved, which means that he is in a good mood." , I didn't intend to add the past to my little uncle at all. This matter can be changed!"

"It would be great if that's the case." Chun Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Princess Liang smiled again. "For the subordinates, this matter will definitely not be over so quickly. But at least the father and emperor above have expressed their views, so they will not dare to make a big fuss about this matter, and you will have some breathing room. Then, after the little uncle becomes an official in the court, and then behave well, let the world take a good look at the character of the Chai family, then the past incident can be completely let go."

This plan is pretty good.Haruka nodded.

After the two of them finished talking, they saw another young man coming in. "Princess Qi, the students who participated in the palace examination have already started to leave the palace. The prince is coming back soon."

"He's coming back!" Princess Liang immediately blushed again with excitement.

Chun Zhi was equally excited.

She stood up quickly. "In that case, I'll go back quickly!"

She will be the first person in the family to welcome Chai Dong home! "

"Little aunt, are you leaving now?" Princess Liang was still a little bit reluctant.

Chunzhi nodded firmly. "I have to go back. I have a lot to say to him now! I think he is eager to go home and see me now!"

Princess Liang blinked, and she nodded. "Okay, then I'll ask someone to prepare the chariots and horses now. After the rankings are released this time, you and your little uncle will come over as guests, and then we will have a lively celebration together."

The arrangement was just what she wanted.

Chun Zhi immediately agreed.

Soon the carriages and horses were ready, and Concubine Liang personally sent Chun Zhi to the carriage.

"That's right!" Before leaving, Chun Zhi thought of another thing, "Did you see Concubine An when you entered the palace the day before yesterday?"

"I see." Concubine Liang nodded, "But we just looked at it from a distance, and didn't even say anything. There were too many people to meet that day. Originally, the mother and concubine were not qualified to come, but it was because of him." For the sake of the prince's biological mother, the queen mother made an exception to allow her to come, but she was only standing outside the crowd. The prince said that he would find a time another day, and he would arrange for me to have a good talk with the concubine mother. He also said... Concubine mother Always wanted to see me."

There doesn't seem to be much difference between saying this and not saying it.

Originally, she wanted to gather some news, so that she could tell Chai Dong to make him prepare accordingly!But now it seems that is impossible.

Chun Zhi pursed her lips and said goodbye to her.

As soon as their carriage returned to the mansion, someone came to report that Chai Dong was back.

Chunzhi didn't change clothes at all, just waited outside the Chuihua door.

Seeing Chai Dong appear, she immediately cheered. "Master!"

She just jumped up and down in front of him, then jumped onto him and hugged him.
