The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 333 Palace Exam
On the day of the palace examination, before dawn, the capital was full of excitement.Among the 150 candidates who participated in the palace examination, many of them were not from the capital, but lived in inns in the capital.Which inn lived in Juren and wanted to participate in the imperial examination, so the inn naturally had to publicize it with great fanfare, making it known on the streets and alleys.

At a quarter of a hour, all the people lined up in three rows, entered the palace through the Meridian Gate, and went to the Zhengda Guangming Hall.

Civil and military officials had assembled in the palace at three o'clock at Yinshi, lined up on both sides of the Zhengda Guangming Hall, set up short tables, and sat down separately, waiting for the candidates on the list to enter the hall.

Not long after, the entire main hall was crowded with people. The inner supervisor was in charge of unified management, and a group of 15 people entered the Zhengda Guangming Hall to participate in the palace examination.

Among these people, the ten women are undoubtedly very eye-catching, attracting batches of curious eyes.

Mu Yunge was at the top of the list in this spring test, so naturally he was at the top.Today, when I entered the palace for an audience, she was wearing a formal gown, Peilian helped her pull up all her hair, and she was wearing the bun hairpin bestowed by Emperor Wu Tongtong, with a little powder and daisy applied, making her extraordinarily delicate and charming.She has been adhering to the family precepts for many years, she has learned etiquette very well, her appearance is dignified and generous, graceful and noble, and her prominent position attracts everyone's attention.The eyes of the men kept lingering on her body, amazement, admiration, admiration... All kinds of complex eyes almost shot people into skeletons, and even the girls behind her couldn't help but blush, only Mu Yunge's expression remained unchanged, As stable as Mount Tai, he never even changed his posture.

For this, the daughters behind her all secretly admired her. Seeing her so calm, she gradually calmed down as if she had taken a reassurance.

At the beginning of the palace examination, fifteen candidates and one lady entered the palace together to accept the assessment of Emperor Wu.

The order of the assessment was random. In order to ensure fairness, the candidates drew lots outside the Zhengda Guangming Hall, and the order of the draw was used to determine the order of the palace examination.

Mu Yunge was lucky, the lottery was drawn sixth, that is, it was her turn in the sixth group.

Chen Shuhan was one in front of her, the fifth woman to appear on the stage.After the lottery is drawn, everyone can rest for a while, and then form a team to play when it is their turn.Naturally, Chen Shuhan and Mu Yunge talked together. The two chatted and laughed, and discussed some activities related to the ceremony. Before they knew it, time passed, and soon it was Chen Shuhan's turn.

"Go." Mu Yunge squeezed Chen Shuhan's hand, and gave her a warm smile: "Behave well, you will definitely pass high school."

Chen Shuhan took a deep breath, smiled slightly, stood at the end of the Juren line, and slowly entered the Zhengda Guangming Hall.

Mu Yunge was left alone, and the second Miss Lin I knew had finished the palace test, so she stayed in the back of the palace and waited. Naturally, she had no fun and could only sit on the porch by herself, idly looking at the peonies beside her.

I don't know how many petals of the flower to count, finally, the inner prisoner called her group.

Mu Yunge tidied up his slightly messy clothes, followed at the end of the Juzi's team, and entered the Zhengda Guangming Hall.

After entering the hall, an inner eunuch specially came forward and led her to stand in front, on the same level as the first candidate.

Seeing that it was Mu Yunge, Emperor Wu's cloudy old eyes lit up for a moment, and soon calmed down. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked at Mu Yunge with a smile and nodded to Qichun: "Recently, Yunge has become more dignified... ..."

"Zhen Shu has the appearance of a celestial being, with a poetic spirit in her belly!" Qi Chun echoed.

Emperor Wu nodded in agreement, and then his eyes turned away from Mu Yunge with nostalgia, and fell on the first Juren.On the same level as Mu Yunge was Yuan Shiying, a well-known scholar in Jiangdong.Seeing his handsome and smiling face, Emperor Wu also nodded secretly.The inner supervisor talked about the rules of the palace examination, and after that, Emperor Wu began to ask questions: "There are three questions in the palace examination today, you choose one, and after reading the questions, you can answer me."

After Yuan Shiying received the decree, the inner eunuch held three booklets and put them in front of him. He flipped through one of them and read: "Human, benevolent."

As he spoke, he frowned slightly, apparently surprised at the shortness of the title.

However, Yuan Shiying was not worried. After thinking for a moment, he began to answer the question: "The establishment of a person is a difficult problem in ancient and modern times. The establishment of a person's morality is a mirror for the front and back. There is an old saying..."

He was so eloquent that his thoughts gushed out like a spring in a moment, starting from the meaning of human existence, he discussed the value of human existence and the creeds that people should follow. He was well-founded and quoted from many sources. Nodding frequently, obviously very appreciative.

After Yuan Shiying finished answering, she kowtowed to say good-bye, stepped aside, and the next one came on stage.

However, there is no one in this team who is more brilliant than him, and he has not been repeated with him in the other questions of the lottery, so he seems to be the best.

After the group of 15 people finished answering, it was finally Mu Yunge's turn.

She went forward and respectfully kowtowed to pay her respects, and only raised her hand to draw a question after she was flattened.

All eyes were on her, some were full of curiosity, some were just waiting to see these women's jokes, some were worried, and some didn't care.However, she doesn't care, since the day of her rebirth, she has been preparing for this event for two full years, waiting for the day when she can stand in this court, hold power in her hands, and avenge the Mu family in her previous life!

Her fingers trembled slightly for a moment, not from nervousness, but from excitement.With a light flick of five fingers, he flipped through a booklet, and what was written on it was Yuan Shiying's set of questions: "People, benevolence."

After she read the title, immediately, everyone showed sympathy.

She got the same set of questions as Yuan Shiying, and Yuan Shiying answered them so satisfactorily. As a boudoir girl, she usually reads "Women's Rules" and "Women's Precepts", plays the piano and plays music, how can she beat Yuan Shiying?It's a pity that once I enter the palace test, I'm afraid it will be an empty dream...

Mu Yunge squeezed the silk in his hand, felt the silky texture, and suddenly had an idea.

"At the beginning of the primordial chaos, there were gods and men who opened up the world with an axe, and then there was a mammoth..." She stood with a smile, her expression calm, and she opened her mouth slowly.

Her voice was crisp and sweet, and she attracted everyone's attention with a single mouth.

Mu Yunge abandoned the art of refutation, starting from the origin of human beings, talking about the changes of human beings, it naturally leads to the advancement of human cultivation, and finally when the thought of "benevolence" as "human being" develops to a certain level, the world The final result after understanding is that only when the human nature is cultivated can one truly achieve "the benevolent man loves others", not only loving himself, but also the people and things around him, so that he can love the country, family, and every plant and tree in the world.And the real sages are often those who have the deepest understanding of the world. Only when the realm of comprehension and "benevolence" has been reached can the realm of being a "human being" be improved.

These words were so unheard of by everyone present that they couldn't help but hold their breath, not wanting to miss every word she said.

Emperor Wu nodded again and again, with a happy expression on his face, his eyes showed undisguised surprise when he looked at her.Of course, only a few people can understand the desire hidden under the eyes!

There was a look of surprise in Yuan Shiying's eyes, and she put away her contempt, and finally regarded the young woman in front of her as her equal opponent.

He had to admit that Mu Yunge made him change his view on this imperial examination reform!
Mu Yunge was the last palace examiner in this group. After she finished answering, there was a moment of silence in the field, and then there was a burst of applause.The applause lasted until they retreated to the apse, and it still echoed for a long time.

Chen Shuhan had already leaned on the side of the hall and listened to Mu Yunge's answer, and was happy for her from the bottom of his heart. Seeing her finally come out, Chen Shuhan was so excited that he held her hand: "Yun Ge, you are amazing!"

"Yeah, you are much better than them!" Ms. Lin accompanied Chen Shuhan, and she couldn't help giving her a thumbs up: "Many of the exams in my group can't even speak smoothly. See The appearance can only be written, not spoken. Yun Ge, when they saw your palace examination just now, they were too ashamed to lift their heads."

"How can it be so exaggerated?" Mu Yunge chuckled.

Chen Shuhan covered his mouth: "It's even more exaggerated than this. Look at those three over there, since you came out to now, they haven't been willing to take their eyes off."

Mu Yunge looked along her slightly raised chin, and really saw several people gathered together, looking at her in amazement.Seeing her gaze, he either bowed his head immediately, or turned his head away blushing, no one dared to look directly at her.

Mu Yunge withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help but laugh a little, the scholar is sour, what he said was true.

Speaking of it, Yuan Shiying's talents and accomplishments are still excellent, and Yuan Shiying must be among the top three in this palace examination.

Thinking of this person, Mu Yunge naturally looked at him.

Yuan Shiying was also looking at her. Seeing her glance, she didn't flinch like the others, but stood upright with a smile on her face, pushed her hands in a gentle manner, and saluted.

Mu Yunge was taken aback for a moment, and quickly returned his salute.The courteous exchanges between the two immediately attracted everyone's attention, but Yuan Shiying didn't think there was anything wrong, and still stood upright, looking quite at ease.The two were frank, and the people around them didn't dare to speculate. Just as the next group of candidates entered the palace again, they all pricked up their ears and began to listen to the palace examination of these candidates.

The palace examinations for 150 candidates and ten women were finally completed at Shenshi, and the results of the palace examinations would be announced three days later. All the candidates gathered behind the Zhengda Guangming Palace, led by the inner eunuch again, and left the palace in an orderly manner.

Emperor Wu intended to ask Mu Yunge to stay and say a few words, but at this time there were too many people, and considering various factors, he could only regretfully suppress the anxiety in his heart.

The Mu family's carriage had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, Peiying finally breathed a sigh of relief when the people came out, and looked for Mu Yunge on tiptoe.

In the crowd, Mu Yunge was easy to spot. Seeing her and Chen Shuhan walking out hand in hand, Peiying trotted forward to greet her.

Chen Shuhan stayed alone in the palace for a day, although the palace took care of food, but not medicine, Liu Fufeng came to pick him up in person, and soon said goodbye to Mu Yunge, and took Chen Shuhan back to the mansion first.Mu Yunge waited for them to leave before boarding the car and preparing to return home.

"Miss Mu, please stay." Just as she lowered the car curtain, a light voice behind her suddenly stopped her.
