Whatever I say is an excuse, Bo Long apologizes deeply, but I still have to say that I have been working a lot of overtime recently, twelve hours a day, which led to two days of extra work. I finally got off work early today, but I was pulled away by the boss again.

During the event, I thought I could come back early to update a chapter, but it turned out to be a few minutes late.

Well, I won’t say much anymore. Since it’s late, it’s too late. Tomorrow, Bolong promises three updates! Thank you all for your continued support!!!

"Princess, don't worry too much. I believe Mr. Li has already entered the examination room, so Yan Song won't do anything to him. Xiao Xi thinks we should go back to the palace first!"

Outside the gate of Taixue Building, Xiao Xi pulled Ning An's sleeve and said worriedly.

Originally, the imperial edict issued by Emperor Jiajing was to be read out by Eunuch Feng Bao, but Ning'an was teasing, fussing, and acting coquettishly, which really gave Jiajing a headache, so he allowed Ning'an to leave the palace for half a day. Of course, Xiao Xi's

Protected and secreted by the imperial guards, Ning'an is absolutely safe. It's just that there are rules in the palace, and Ning'an is the most precious one.

Princess, of course, you have to follow it even more. In the past, you could excuse Jiajing by going to study with Taifu Gu Ruzhi, but today Gu Ruzhi was assigned to be in charge of the imperial examination. Naturally, Ning'an can no longer be like before. Now it is almost over

At noon, she saw that Ning An had no intention of leaving, which really made Xiao Xi a little worried.

Ning An didn't seem to hear, but continued to poke his head into the Taixue Building, as if he wanted to see clearly the scene inside.

"Princess!"

Xiao Xi began to have no choice in dealing with Ning An. This princess had always been so willful, and she had suffered a lot for her. If she didn't go back, she would definitely be punished by Concubine Shen when she returned to the palace.

"No hurry, no rush, let me take another look, take another look." Ning An said perfunctorily. From her expression, it was easy to see that Ning An did not care about returning to the palace, but was more focused on the examination room.

Xiao Xi looked helpless. How could she not know what Ning An was thinking? But she couldn't do anything to the princess, so she had no choice but to stand aside.

"Quick, look! Then... isn't that Miss Ruo... Ruoshi from Wenxiang Yuyuan? She... why did she appear here?"

"Miss Ruoshi, the number one prostitute in the capital, is really beautiful and fragrant. If I can kiss her, it will be worth losing my life!"

"Isn't that right? Seeing such a beautiful woman makes my heart itch, but what is she doing here?"

"I heard that she...she seemed to have slept with an examinee named Wang Zhengyao one night. I don't know if..."

"What are you talking nonsense about? That man is called Li Zhengyao! You, you can only envy him. I also heard that Prince Jing's daughter, Princess Changle, and the current Princess Ning'an are both interested in him..."

…

The people around him seemed to have been imprisoned in a cell for decades without eating meat, and suddenly saw a piece of chicken leg after being released one day. They kept criticizing An Boqin, and some of them seemed to have just arrived.

, otherwise I would not dare to talk about the princess in front of Ning An.

I saw An Boqin wearing a green gauze dress, long hair shawl, accompanied by elegant orchid, elegantly walking towards the entrance of Taixue Building, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of male animals.

"Princess, listen to them... why don't we leave!" Listening to the chattering of others, Xiaoxi tugged on Ning'an's sleeves again. The so-called short stories and long stories mean that the princess is a pure and pure woman, even if she has a good impression of Zhengyao.

, and it is not allowed to be said like this by outsiders.

Ning An didn't seem to hear what Xiao Xi said, and instead said: "Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, how often do you think Mr. Li and the others usually come out for the exam? You must know that the exam takes nine days, and you can't just wait for nine days and nine nights."

On the seat! This is something no one can bear."

"Li...Mr. Li?"

Xiao Xi suddenly felt a little unbelievable and looked at Ning An with doubtful eyes, as if she was saying, did I hear it wrong?

"Uh..." Ning An suddenly realized that the title "Master Li" seemed to have come out of his mouth for the first time. As he said this, Ning An couldn't help but blush, feeling extremely embarrassed.

An Boqin, who came here in a hurry, looked particularly sunny and generous today, like a bright star shining in the dark night. All the men and women around him were fascinated by it. And when Ning An raised his head and turned around,

She also saw An Boqin.

"The famous girl Ruoshi (Yalan), pays her respects to Princess Ning'an!"

An Boqin and Yalan walked straight to Ning An and spoke softly at the same time.

However, a greeting was a greeting, but An Boqin didn't mean to bow down, which was a bit different. Moreover, the four words "Princess Ning'an" seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Ning'an didn't care about these red tapes, but somehow, from the bottom of his heart, Ning'an didn't have a good impression of An Boqin.

"No, no! Did Miss Ruoshi come to see that idiot Li Zhengyao today? Haha, then you are late. He has already gone in. You probably won't see him today."

Ning An looked at An Boqin with a smile and said, feeling as if there was something in his words.

When Ning An finished saying this, Xiao Xi felt a smell of vinegar begin to spread around her, and she vaguely realized that this smell of vinegar didn't seem to come from the same person.

An Boqin was really generous and decent, but after hearing Ning An's words, instead of showing any signs of stopping or doing anything unusual, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Really? Then why doesn't the princess leave? Could it be that?

The princess also wants to visit her husband's stone?"

"you…"

An Boqin's needle in cotton really worked. Ning An was immediately speechless and wanted to attack, but saw a large group of people watching around him.

Looking at this posture, the two of them seemed a bit disharmonious. Xiao Xi didn't want to cause any trouble before returning to the palace, so she immediately grabbed Ning An and expressed her pain.

Ning An was unwilling to accept it, but she was also afraid that Concubine Shen would nag her in her ears again, so she snorted: "I don't want this princess to be a husband's stone! If you want to, let me, Miss Ruoshi, do it! Xiao Xi, we

Walk!"

After saying that, Ning An walked away from the Taixue Tower gate without looking back, while Zhu Luying, who was sitting quietly drinking tea aside, saw all this.

After the invigilator Mr. Peng gave the order, he began to distribute the test questions to the candidates one by one.

Each candidate's seat is separated separately. It is absolutely impossible to whisper to each other and look around. Therefore, the requirements and rules mentioned on the bulletin board at the gate of Taixue Building are actually meaningless. At this moment,

Only then did Zheng Yao finally understand that this kind of test was the real big test.

"This is an imperial examination? Isn't this just dictation? It's just..."

The test questions had been handed out, and Zhengyao couldn't help but have a wry smile on his lips.

The first question in the imperial examination consists of four essays and three passages. It is said to be difficult or simple, but it is also not easy.

Looking at the three test questions in his hand that contained just a few words, Zheng Yao was really dumbfounded. The examination methods of ancient people were really different. He had read books for so many years before, but he didn't memorize them well.

After a few articles, I still have to memorize them now.

However, now that the matter has come to this, Zhengyao can only take one step at a time.

"I still know the Four Books, "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius", but it is a bit difficult to answer Zhu Xi's "Commentary on the Four Books", so that's all, just try your best!"

After looking at the three pieces of white paper with a few words written on them, Zhengyao had to smile bitterly again and shook his head. Then he rolled up his sleeves, sharpened his ink, pondered for a moment, and finally moved the brush in his hand to the inkstone.

"The way of a great university is to be clear and virtuous, to be close to the people, and to be at the highest level of goodness. After knowing the cessation, there will be concentration. After concentration, one can be still. After being still, one can be at peace. After being at peace, one can think about it. After thinking about it, one can gain. Things have their origins and ends, and things have their origins.

If you know the beginning and the end, you will get the shortcut..."

…

Finally, Zhengyao gradually began his scientific research.
Chapter completed!
