Lin Huan packed himself up, got up and went to the main courtyard. When he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw that the whole main courtyard was already brightly lit. His parents had obviously been up for a long time.
Lin Huan entered the room, saw his father drinking tea there, walked up to him and called out to him, then sat down beside him, poured himself a cup, and was about to drink when he heard Lin Qing say, "Drink less Just moisten your throat a bit, but don't drink too much, and be careful when you want to change clothes during the palace examination."
Lin Huan paused with the cup in his hand, turned to look at his father, and asked, "The palace examination will take a day, so you won't be allowed to change clothes?"
Lin Qing put down the tea in his hand and said, "It is allowed, but three servants have to follow the whole process. If you can change your clothes without changing your expression while six eyes are on you, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lin Huan:
Silently picked up the cup, took a small sip, moistened his mouth, and then put it down silently.
Lin Qing added: "However, if you are really nervous and anxious, of course, don't hold back, so as not to become more nervous and anxious, and the more anxious you become, the more nervous you will be, which will affect your answering questions."
"Father, I got it!" Lin Huan said with some embarrassment.
Lin Qing laughed immediately after hearing this, and said, "I saw that you were a little nervous in the morning, let me make a joke for you!"
Lin Huan turned his head to look at Lin Qing's court uniform, and asked, "When the palace examination is held, will your father be there?"
"Today is the palace examination, and His Majesty presides over it in person, accompanied by the cabinet, six ministers and the Ministry of Rites." Lin Qing looked at Lin Huan, and asked suddenly: "You are not nervous because of my presence, are you?"
"No, no," Lin Huan said, "I'm just a little nervous because I'm worried about accidentally falling into the top three."
Lin Qing heard this, patted Lin Huan and said: "It's okay, even if you fall into the top three, you are still a Jinshi. As long as you are a Jinshi, just because you are my son and your majesty's relationship, you are not necessarily worse than those second grades, so you just Don't worry about taking the exam."
After hearing this, Lin Huan said, "Father, didn't you tell me a few days ago that I must study hard and get a second-class exam?"
Lin Qing looked at Lin Huan and said, "That's because I'm afraid you won't work hard on your homework, so I put pressure on you."
"What about now?" Lin Huan asked.
"The exam is coming, of course I want you not to be too stressed." Lin Qingqing said naturally.
When Lin Huan heard this, his head was covered with black lines.
Wang Yan walked in from the outside, saw Lin Qing and Lin Huan, and said: "Okay, you two don't just talk, come over to eat quickly, one will have a palace test and the other will go to court later, so I don't know the rush. "
After hearing this, Lin Qing smiled and said, "It's still early." But she still brought Lin Huan over for dinner.
Lin Qing looked at the breakfast on the table, and said to Lin Huan: "The things your mother made this morning are auspicious."
After hearing this, Wang Yan said with a smile: "That's right, look at this pastry, which means high school, and this bamboo rice, which means high school, this"
Lin Qing tasted it and said, "It tastes good."
After the three of them finished their meal, Lin Qing said to Wang Yan: "You watch the three little ones at home. After they get up, let them go to the study to do their homework after breakfast."
After instructing Wang Yan, Lin Qing changed into court clothes and took Lin Huan to the palace.
When he arrived at the palace, since Lin Qing had to go in first, he gave Lin Huan some more careful instructions, and then left the carriage to him, asking him to go in with the tribute later, and then went to court first.
After Lin Huan waited for Lin Qing to leave, he asked the coachman to go to another palace gate. The Ministry of Rites had already demonstrated the palace examination process to them a few days ago, but now, they just need to follow the rules.
When he got outside the designated palace gate, Lin Huan saw that the two sides of the palace gate in front of him were densely packed with carriages. Lin Huan asked the coachman to find a place to stop, and then asked the coachman, saying: "The Shen family Is your coachman here?"
The coachman parked the carriage, stood on the carriage and looked around, then turned to Lin Huan and said, "Master, my uncle's carriage is also here, it's in the northwest ahead."
Lin Huan lifted the curtain and stretched his head out to have a look. He was thinking about whether to go there, but he saw a person coming out of the Shen family's carriage. Standing on the carriage and looking this way, it was Shen Chen.
Lin Huan saw Shen Chen and was about to say hello when he saw Shen Chen jumping off the carriage and walking over through the gaps between the carriages.
When Shen Chen came over, Lin Huan said strangely: "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"
It's not yet dawn, and it's the time when the spring is cold, and he is a little hesitant to pass. After all, the most important thing now is the palace examination. If it accidentally freezes, it will be bad.
Shen Chen walked to Lin Huan's carriage and said, "Go up first and then talk." Then he directly got into Lin Huan's carriage.
Shen Chen got into the carriage, found a place to sit down, put down the stove in his hand, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Lin Huan asked suspiciously.
"I'm not annoyed by those people. Really, the palace exam is about to take place. If you don't close your eyes and rest in the carriage, you still want to make a relationship. I really don't know the importance." Shen Chen and Lin Huan have known each other since they were young, and directly He Lin Huan complained.
After listening to Shen Chen's complaints, Lin Huan realized that Shen Chen came a little early today. Others knew that he was the eldest grandson of the Minister of Rites, so they came to say hello one after another. One, even if Shen Chen usually has a good temper, at such a critical juncture before the palace examination, he doesn't want to spend the time of closing his eyes and resting his mind on such meaningless small talk.
"No wonder you came to me, you were hiding from people!" Lin Huan said with a smile.
Shen Chen rubbed his head, and said: "If you drive them all away, others will definitely say that I am arrogant, so I can only come to rub your carriage."
Lin Huan joked with a smile: "Is it because these people see that you will do well in the exam, and they deliberately come to greet you in turn to consume your energy."
Shen Chen curled his lips and said, "I think these people probably have this idea."
After the two finished speaking, they immediately laughed.
Maybe because Lin Huan's carriage parked farther outside, and because Lin Qing's official position was not as conspicuous as Shen Ru's, few people came to bother him. Lin Huan and Shen Chen saw that there was still a while before the palace gate opened, so they took out the Covered with a quilt in the carriage, she closed her eyes and rested for a while.
It wasn't until the sky in the east turned pale that there was a dull sound of opening the palace door. A group of servants and several officials from the Ministry of Rituals came out and led all the tributes to participate in the palace examination.
Lin Huan and Shen Chen hurriedly adjusted their clothes, and followed the servant inside.
Arriving at the main hall, Lin Huan found his seat according to the ranking of the examination, sat down in the seat, checked that there was no problem with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been placed on the table, and waited for the start of the palace examination.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Lin Huan heard three whips, and hurriedly got up with other tributes, bowed down, and greeted the saint.
Until everyone heard "get up", they all got up and returned to their seats.
Lin Huan got up from the ground, returned to his seat and sat down. When he looked up, he met Zhou Yan who was looking down. Lin Huan was taken aback and winked at him.
Zhou Yan had seen Lin Huan's name on the test list, and knew that Lin Huan was going to take part in the palace test. Zhou Yan was still wondering what Lin Huan's expression would be when he saw him again, and whether it was because he had changed. He changed after becoming an emperor, but now when he saw him, he realized that Lin Huan was still the same Lin Huan. He couldn't help being in a good mood, and said to the servant next to him, "Let's ask the question!"
After the test questions were distributed, the tributes below began to calm down and answer the questions seriously.
Lin Huan also put all his thoughts on the answer sheet and began to review the questions.
Since it was the first time to preside over the palace examination, Zhou Yan thought it was quite fresh at first, but after an hour passed, he gradually became bored. Seeing this, the minister next to him asked His Highness if he wanted to go back to the back hall to rest, after all, although the palace examination The emperor presided over it himself, but there was no rule that the emperor had to watch it all the time.
Zhou Yan originally wanted to go back to the apse, but suddenly remembered that he didn't know how Lin Huan was doing in the exam. He was a little curious, so he got up and said, "I'm going to see how the tributes are doing this time. When I come back, I will talk to you." Everyone go to the apse to rest for a while."
The minister who followed him hurriedly replied: "Yes."
Then Zhou Yan took Yang Yun and a few servants down to the hall for a walk.
Zhou Yan was worried that if he only looked at Lin Huan, it would cause unnecessary criticism, so Zhou Yan stopped every few people, looked at the other party's test paper, and then walked back until he reached Lin Huan's position , like the previous ones, looked at Lin Huan's examination paper.
Zhou Yan originally wanted to read Lin Huan's exam papers, so it was inevitable that he stood in Lin Huan's place for a while.
Lin Huan was racking his brains to answer the question when he suddenly noticed a figure approaching him. He squinted and saw that it was Zhou Yan. Huan couldn't help being anxious. Anyone who is watched by others during the exam will also affect the test. But next to him was the emperor, and he couldn't drive him away.
Thinking of this, Lin Huan suddenly had an idea, and brought a piece of used draft paper next to him, drew a pattern on it with three or two strokes, and then put the paper next to the table for Zhou Yan to see.
Zhou Yan was curious about what Lin Huan drew, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a turtle.
The corner of Zhou Yan's mouth twitched, thinking that he walked slower than a tortoise.
It's really a dog who bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart. Zhou Yan saw it and thought angrily, thinking in his heart, when you are hit, I will deal with you again, and then went back directly with Yang Yun and the servant.
Lin Huan:
At least I can continue to do the questions seriously, I am so tired! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)The corner of Yan Yan's mouth twitched, thinking that he walked slower than a turtle.
