Chapter 225: Palace Examination (1)

The next morning, at 3 o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Chen Ao was pushed to the lights, and the room was lit up instantly. Chen Ao opened his eyes and the person came to Liu Wen. Liu Wen did not sleep well, and said sleepily: "Young Master, the Ministry of Rites has sent a blazing suit and a fish bag. Please take a shower and change clothes and enter the palace immediately."

Chen Ao suddenly woke up, suddenly became energetic, nodded and said, "So early? It's not dawn yet!"

Although Chen Ao said this, he did not dare to delay it. He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, but when this moment came, he felt a little nervous. He calmed down and said to himself: Chen Ao, who are you? You are the most powerful art thief in the world. Throughout history, no one can compete with you. What's the terrible thing about a small palace examination?

After asking, he slowly calmed down and went to take a bath. Liu Wen had already taught people to put water in the bathtub and soaked in the bathtub. He felt the comfort brought by the hot water. His arrogant body was drunk. He changed into a rosy dress from the Ministry of Rites. The silk Chinese feeling brought a little coldness. He tidied up his clothes in front of the bronze mirror and felt a little more noble.

But the breeze suit was a bit big, and I tied my waist with my belt, which made me look a little longer.

In fact, Chen Ao is not wearing a blush suit. Only officials of fourth or fifth ranks are qualified to wear blush suits. The Ministry of Rites only sends green public uniforms from eighth or ninth rank officials. However, this is generally called this in the market, so all public uniforms are called blush suits.

As for the fish bag, it is actually a silverfish bag that is temporarily borrowed. According to the court's etiquette, only officials of fourth or fifth rank are allowed to wear the fish bag. It is a token for entering and leaving the Forbidden Palace. This time, you have to participate in the palace examination and you need to enter and exit the forbidden Palace. Therefore, you are temporarily issued. After the palace examination is completed and the court grants an official position, the silverfish bag must be handed over.

After taking a bath, Chen Ao's face became more dignified than before. People rely on clothes, not to mention that Chen Ao's own appearance is not bad, and this outfit adds a bit more handsome.

There are really no choice but to dress up carefully, or it is a hidden rule for participating in the palace examination. It is important to know that this is a saint, which is related to the life of each candidate. For the emperor, knowledge is important, but if the candidate is crooked or too sloppy, the emperor's evaluation of the candidates is naturally a little lower. The so-called people should not behave in appearance, but the emperor's favorite thing is to judge people by appearance. What can you do? Those candidates with ugly appearances have always been absent from the ranks and the ranks of officials, and they can only lament that their parents are not good at it.

When I walked out of the bathroom, the moon in the sky had not yet fallen. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the sound of quiet was silent. Only Liu Wen led the coachman and the mending and the others were waiting outside with lanterns.

"Young Master Chou put on a breeze dress, it's so glorious." Seeing Chen Ao come out, Liu Wen couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart, lowering the lantern in his hand, illuminating the road for Chen Ao.

Chen Ao smiled slightly: "Master Liu is polite."

On the other side, the lanterns of the corridor were approaching, and a slight sound of slashing steps came slowly. The person who came was Zhou Ruo. Zhou Ruoxian had not slept all night, with a black shadow in his eyes, which appeared faintly in the dim light. She walked to Chen Ao and whispered: "Cousin, mother asks you if you are going to set off."

Chen Ao asked Zhou Ruo, "What? Aunt got up so early?"

Zhou Ruo raised his eyes and looked at Chen Ao's slender and handsome appearance in a blazing suit. His cheeks unconsciously turned a little blush and said, "Mother has not slept all night and is praying for you in the Buddhist temple."

Chen Ao couldn't help but feel moved, and something bright flashed in his eyes, but he smiled and said, "God aunt is worried. After entering the palace, I will definitely get the top scorer back to show my aunt. Cousin..."

"Well..." Zhou Ruo's voice was low and his mosquito whispered slightly, and he lowered his head slightly, "Cousin, don't delay any more. It's not too late for this matter. Don't miss the time."

Chen Ao looked at her deeply, nodded and said, "Yes, now is not the time when children are in love, so my cousin should go to bed earlier."

Chen Ao suddenly felt that he was heartless. He slept till he died last night, but he didn't know that there were many people in the Zhou Mansion who couldn't hide it all day long and night, and they felt so sad that they wanted to say something, but they felt like they were stuck in their throats. They clenched their hands into fists and said to themselves in their hearts: "Chen Ao, you must remember today, remember this dull dawn, and always remember it."

He bit his lip, twisted his body and walked away slowly with the light that Liu Wen pointed out, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

Zhou Ruo sighed and looked at the back gradually, and tears seemed to flow in his beautiful eyes. Today's cousin seemed different from before, and his heart was even more touching.

In the flower garden, the sound of the piano became stronger and stronger, but it did not disperse overnight. The sound of the piano seemed to be able to entangle the spring breeze, tie the bright moon, pull down the flowing water, and keep the stars. From the agile, slender and soft fingertips, pouring out in strands, bringing people into a wonderful illusion. In that illusion, there are mountains, rivers, all things, heaven, earth, and deep affection...

The pane was pushed open, accompanied by the night, and the dim candlelight behind him was swaying. Zhenzhen's white long skirt looked even more hazy and beautiful. Her delicate skin echoed the bright and bright full moon, and it interspered and shone brightly. The moonlight gently stroked Zhenzhen's long hair like water, and the clear light seemed to solidify at the ends of her hair. As long as her shoulders moved, her hair would ripple with layers of light like a deep pool.

The piano is a good piano, with a smooth and transparent dark brown piano body, the head of the piano is inlaid with pure green jade, a bright red weeping cherry blossoms hanging on the tail of the piano, and several clusters of daffodils are carved on the body of the piano. It is elegant and noble, like a fairy object. The lush and green fingers gently pluck the strings to play against the moon.

Huan'er behind her was already drowsy. After Zhenzhen finished playing a song, she called out in a low voice: "Miss, Yin is about to pass..."

"Well..." Zhenzhen responded quietly, and then whispered: "Let me play another song, just treat it as a way to see Shen Jun off. I hope he will make a big splash and top the high school list."

Her fingers gently stroked, but this song was very familiar. It was the song Luo Jianghen written by Chen Ao. Her husband was about to leave. His wife knelt gently at his feet to smooth out his clothes and told her, "When will you come back, Mr. Wang?" If you encounter a bridge, remember the carved saddle. Don't compete with others during the transition...

After the song ended, a long sigh was heard, the beauty under the moonlight had her eyes flashed, and her tears were flying in her thoughts.

"Miss..." Huan'er couldn't help but complain: "Miss hasn't slept all night. Who knows if that cruel man is still thinking about you? He really won the top scorer, and countless ladies from his family threw themselves into his arms. I'm afraid that by then, he will have forgotten you."

Zhenzhen's eyes were gloomy, her fingers held the strings, biting her lips without saying a word.

Huan'er said again: "Otherwise, why didn't he come to redeem the lady? I heard that Chen Ao has occupied half of the shares of the flower hall..."

Zhenzhen interrupted Huan'er and said, "Chen Lang once said that in the future, I must use the eight-carrying sedan chair to carry me to his mansion and enter through the middle door. Huan'er, you don't have to say anything. The only one who knows me is Chen Lang. He knows my intentions, so he refuses to take me out of the flower garden."

"But..." Huan'er's eyes flashed with gloomyness, carrying the sedan chair eight times and entering the middle door. Is it possible as a lady?

When the carriage arrived at Zhengde Gate, Chen Ao got out of the car and came again under the crimson palace wall. At this time, many officials in the breeze-clothed silverfish talisman had already entered the palace. As candidates, Chen Ao, like many people in the green clothes and public clothes, still needs to wait here and wait until the order is announced before entering.

He sniffed and spitted out fog. Although it was already spring, the weather was still a little cold. The candidates who were waiting for the palace examination in groups of three or three stood scattered under the palace wall waiting for exciting moments, all of which were a little excited.

We wear fresh clothes and angry horses, wear rich clothes and eat food, cultivate ourselves and govern the country, guide the country, enter the Zhengde Gate, enter the martial arts hall, rank the rankings, and grant official positions. Then, everything that we dream of can be realized.

Everyone pursed their lips and remained silent. No one went to talk to others. Those thoughts had already flown away from their bodies and penetrated the palace walls.

"Brother Shen, Brother Shen..." In the mist, two beautiful figures trotted from afar.

Chen Ao looked back, his eyes lit up, and he shouted in surprise: "Chun'er, Mo'er..." He trotted over to meet him, breaking the silence outside the palace wall.

Chun'er came over panting with a food box in one hand and Tang Mo'er in the other hand, blushing, and stood still and said, "Brother Shen, I heard that I was going to participate in the palace examination. At the time of Yin, I had to get up and wait in the palace. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I made some pastries with Sister Mo'er to teach you how to fill your stomach."

He held the food box over, Chen Ao went to pick it up, touched the cold hand, and his heart moved again. He looked at Chun'er, then looked at Tang Mo'er, whose face was frozen, suppressed the warmth in his heart, and said, "You...you are so stupid. I took the bus all the way and ate breakfast in the car. Chun'er, this must be your idea, right? Alas..."

The Suiya Mountain Room was too busy to get porridge. Tang Moer was already busy at home, so she felt that this porridge was a good deed. Therefore, she obtained Tang Yan's consent and went to Suiya Mountain Room for help. She was a few years older than Chun'er Chi, and was dignified and generous. She soon became familiar with Chun'er. Gradually, she naturally talked about everything.

The two of them came to deliver food boxes early in the morning, which was Chun'er's idea, but Tang Mo'er's thoughts; Tang Mo'er met Chen Ao's hot eyes, deliberately turned her pretty face aside, and whispered: "Young Master Chen, these pastries were cooked by Chun'er himself. If you are still hungry, eat some more."

Chun'er said shyly: "Sister Mo'er also helped to raise the fire. It should be what we did together."

Chen Ao came back to his senses and smiled knowingly. His clear eyes were filled with gratitude and affection. He nodded quickly and said, "Yes! I'm hungry again and I haven't eaten enough. Fortunately, Chun'er and Mo'er brought food. Otherwise, it would be awful when the palace examination was empty. "After that, he opened the food box, pinched the pastry and ate it voraciously, eating with relish.
