Shen Chenyu is very busy at this time, because the most critical imperial examination is about to come. So whether it's Lin Ruiqi or the prince and others, they have to rely on everything now.
The palace examination lasted for one day in total, from morning to evening. Although it is said that this is the emperor's invigilation, the emperor may not always be present. Under normal circumstances, it is not bad for the emperor to stay inside for two or three hours.
The night before the palace examination, Shen Chenyu suddenly had a nightmare. Probably because he thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. In the dream, Mu Linting and his child had an accident when he was taking the palace examination.
After Shen Chenyu was woken up from the nightmare, he looked at Mu Linting who had also woken up in his arms. He carefully kissed Mu Linting on the forehead, then pinched Mu Linting's cheek and said, "I'm very panicked, otherwise I won't be in the palace exam." Will you come with me?"
Mu Linting heard the words a little funny, sometimes Shen Chenyu is very calm and smart, but sometimes Shen Chenyu is a little childish.
Mu Linting moved in his arms, then reached out to hold his hand, and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Shen Chenyu has always been frank in front of him, so she told the other party about the nightmare she just had. Mu Linting looked into Shen Chenyu's red eyes. The Eighth Prince said before that Shen Chenyu was his weakness, but in fact he was also Shen Chenyu's biggest weakness.
Mu Linting sighed, thinking that he seemed to be fine, if Shen Chenyu could feel at ease, Mu Linting would not mind going with him.
Of course, going with Shen Chenyu doesn't mean going together literally, it must mean staying in Shen Chenyu's space.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Shen Chenyu was worried that Mu Linting thought he was hypocritical, so she couldn't help but started chattering with him. "In the TV series in our world, accidents are easy to happen when such critical moments are reached. TV series are your current stage, and they are all stories similar to storybooks. Every time the male and female protagonists in it reach a critical moment, it is not the male protagonist. What happened was the heroine's accident, anyway...every time it makes people nervous."
When watching TV dramas and reading scripts, Shen Chenyu's attitude can still be very indifferent, and she can even scold the Shabi hero and heroine. But when things happened to him, even if there was such a one-ten-thousandth danger, Shen Chenyu was unwilling to let this one-ten-thousandth danger come true.
Because if you really love someone, you are absolutely unwilling to let the other person take any risk. Even though he knew very well in his heart that his lover was an invincible martial arts master, Shen Chenyu still didn't want him to be in danger.
The next day was the palace examination, and Shen Chenyu directly packed her husband into the space and stuffed it into the space, just like this, she was going to enter the palace with a group of people.
While waiting outside the palace gate, a group of tributes stood up one by one in order. Because there is still a period of time to wait, some nervous Gongshi couldn't help talking. However, since loud noises cannot be made outside the palace gate, even if they speak, they keep their voices very low.
Shen Chenyu ranked relatively high in the test, so there were only two people in front of him. One is a short old man with gray hair, and the other is a middle-aged man with a mustache. After seeing Shen Chenyu's appearance clearly, the two showed undisguised jealousy on their faces.
No way, in ancient times, it was more about appearance. Especially the officials who entered the court as officials, they represent the face of the whole country, and young people with good looks are more dominant.
Shen Chenyu didn't mind their expressions. In fact, not only beautiful women are excluded in reality, but men with more outstanding looks are also excluded.
Fortunately, the wait didn't take too long. As the front palace gate was opened, a group of young eunuchs in brocade clothes filed out. Afterwards, the tributes present were divided into two teams, and followed the brocade-clothed eunuchs into the palace gate.
They didn't enter the hall for the exam right away, they also needed to enter the side yard next to them to bathe and change clothes. One is to express the righteousness to the emperor, and the other is to check whether there is cheating. After a group of people take a bath, they have to put on the Confucian shirts prepared in the palace, and then enter the palace with the little eunuch in brocade clothes.
Fortunately, Shen Chenyu came in earlier, and there were hardly anyone in the bath. He quickly entered and came out quickly, like dumplings dipped in vinegar, almost without stopping at all.
Because he didn't want to see other men naked, and he also didn't want to be seen by other men. Not to mention whether any of these people have broken sleeves, Shen Chenyu is at a disadvantage in terms of looks alone. In order to protect her husband like a jade, Shen Chenyu went out as if her feet were scalded.
Fortunately, this is just a cutscene, and they are not really allowed to take a bath in it. When Shen Chenyu was almost dressed, many people came out one after another.
The following rules were taught in advance, a group of tributes dressed neatly, and followed a group of brocade-clothed eunuchs into the main hall. Everything after that is the responsibility of the Ministry of Etiquette, and they have to read out the rules and precautions of the examination room. By the time they had gone through all the processes, the sky outside had already begun to brighten.
Shen Chenyu and the others sat down in their seats, and their pens, inks, papers and inkstones were also provided by the palace, so they were equivalent to bringing nothing, and even the clothes on their bodies were from the palace. After they got their test papers one after another, the emperor who had not appeared all this time came late.
Shen Chenyu sat in the front row, just under the eyes of the emperor. To be honest, this position is under a lot of pressure. If it weren't for Shen Chenyu's good psychological endurance, she would probably have shown her timidity in front of the emperor by now.
After the emperor entered the palace, they had to stand up and salute with the ministers. Shen Chenyu was born very handsome and beautiful, and belonged to an existence that would be eye-catching when thrown into the crowd.
So when the emperor stepped into the hall, he noticed the existence of Shen Chenyu at first sight. When Shen Chenyu stood up with the crowd to salute, the emperor paused slightly when he saw his appearance clearly.
The emperor is the man who has seen the most beauties in the world, but a man like him can't help but look at Shen Chenyu more, which shows how outstanding Shen Chenyu's looks are today.
For the emperor's line of sight, many people feel very obvious. Especially the old eunuchs who followed the emperor knew his Majesty very well.
The head eunuch quickly glanced at Shen Chenyu, then winked at the little apprentice at the gate of the hall, and the other party immediately took orders to investigate Shen Chenyu. Guessing that the palace test is not over yet, Shen Chenyu's background has been found out by the other party.
Shen Chenyu didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation. When the emperor signaled everyone to sit down and start the exam, his attention was on the test paper.
The difficulty of the palace examination is relatively average, and the types of questions are similar to those of the rural examination. However, since the palace examination is only for one day, the amount of questions in the examination paper is also very small.
After Shen Chenyu quickly scanned the test paper, she calmed down and began to answer the questions. Shen Chenyu's answering speed is very fast, and her beautiful handwriting is even more outstanding.
Half an hour after the opening of the palace examination, the emperor on the dragon chair looked at each other again, his sharp eyes showed no trace of emotion.
The two old eunuchs on the side were a little surprised when they saw this, and couldn't help but follow His Majesty's gaze. This son has attracted His Majesty's attention twice in a row, and this alone is enough for the other party to flourish in the future.
At the same time, Mu Linting was in Shen Chenyu's space, where he was making food for himself. Mu Linting's appetite was already very good, except for a little nausea in the first month of pregnancy, his appetite became even better after he recovered recently.
In the past, he didn't pay much attention to his appetite, but this one in his stomach obviously looks like Shen Chenyu, not only greedy, but also likes to eat some precious things.
For example, he would only drink the best type of milk powder, and he would feel like vomiting if it was of a slightly inferior grade. For example, he has only recently started to eat some spiritual fruits, even if the price is very expensive, he must eat one every day, otherwise Mu Linting's heart will be completely empty. Fortunately, their family has more money and points now, otherwise such a brat really can't afford it.
It is said that if there is no comparison, there will be no harm. You can be particular about the little meat bun back then, even if you eat rice paste, he will not make a fuss. But the current one is probably not good, because he has become so delicate before he comes out, and Mu Linting feels a little panic in his heart for no reason.
Shen Chenyu was working on a question, and he was the boss in his portable space, so he could feel Mu Linting's emotions. Although she didn't know what happened to Mu Linting, Shen Chenyu still wanted to comfort him.
Just when Shen Chenyu was thinking this way, he saw that his plane mall system was about to be upgraded. Upgrading the exchange system to another level not only unlocks new planes, but also adds a system sharing function.
The so-called system sharing function is that after Shen Chenyu pulls a person into the space, he can share his plane mall with the other party. The other party can see the things in the mall in the space, and can also use the points in the mall to purchase goods and so on.
Thinking that Mu Linting was still staying inside for a day, Shen Chenyu had no way to communicate with them. They said that pregnant people are very emotionally sensitive. Shen Chenyu thought that it would be better to let him look at the plane system. It just so happened that the system has been upgraded again, and it seems that there is still a chance to draw a lottery, so let Mu Linting draw a lottery by himself.
Thinking like this, Shen Chenyu bought another thing, and after the plane system showed that the upgrade was successful, he shared the system with Mu Linting.
Mu Linting knew the existence of the system, so he was not frightened when he saw the system suddenly. It's just that a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he began to grope for the system in front of him.
Shen Chenyu looked at him like a child, stretching out a finger little by little, and couldn't help showing a smile. Unexpectedly, when using the system for the first time, it turns out that Mu Linting's calm and indifferent personality is also a one-finger Zen.
Before Mu Linting figured out how the system works, a lottery page popped up in front of him. Although Mu Linting didn't have any lottery drawing experience, but looking at the big red button on the lottery page, he quickly understood the need to press this button.
Shen Chenyu didn't pay attention to Mu Linting anymore, and after sharing the system with the other party, she concentrated on continuing to deal with this palace test.
The emperor only watched the first half of the palace examination, and did not show up again in the afternoon. When the emperor returned to the imperial study to review the memorial, the little eunuch who had gone to investigate before came back, and then gave the head eunuch a copy of Shen Chenyu's information.
According to the rules, the emperor is currently reviewing the memorial, even the chief eunuch dare not go in and disturb him now. But thinking of the emperor's repeated abnormalities today, the chief eunuch hesitated and boldly went in with the information.
He glanced at the emperor carefully, and saw that the other party was not angry because he came in, so he said nervously: "Your Majesty, this is the information of that Xinke Gongshi. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to take a look at it now?"
The emperor flicked through the memorial for a moment, then put down the memorial and waved to him. As soon as the old eunuch saw the other party like this, his whole body suddenly brightened up. Sure enough...he really didn't guess the emperor's intentions wrongly.
The emperor is not young anymore, but he still looks young because of the proper maintenance. He flipped through Shen Chenyu's information casually, paused on a familiar word, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the chief eunuch in front of him.
"Mulinting... didn't expect this child to be alive?"
Upon hearing this familiar name, the old eunuch's forehead was suddenly covered with cold sweat. This... this Xinke Gongshi, how did he get involved with that one? That is the person the crown prince is targeting, and the crown prince is... and the emperor's most eccentric prince, this... this, this...
The emperor didn't seem to notice his nervousness, he slightly touched the corner of his lips and nodded another name. "I thought he looked familiar just now, but I didn't expect it to be one surprise after another."
