Old Liu's anger caused him to suffer from an old illness for some reason, and he was bedridden. Shen's residence managed to be calm for a few days, but this calm was more like the eve of a storm. At this point, I am more cautious in doing things.

In addition, I don't know whether it was out of anger or something, but the two maids finally pointed to Shen Qingshu's yard. They were all from poor families, and Shen Qingshu didn't make things difficult, but just asked them to do some chores with Zhaoyu.

Soon on the twenty-fifth day, the palace examination was released, and a group of tributes entered the palace again.

The examiners of the palace examination are all served by Hanlin scholars. Eight examiners take turns to review the papers, and give their own evaluations on the 300 papers, which are circles, sharps, dots, straight, forks, etc. The one with the most circles is For the best papers, after reading the rankings, the top ten will be presented to the emperor, and he will select a top three, that is, the number one scholar, the second place, and the third flower.

This is a grand event once every three years. At this time, rankings are being discussed in the Emperor Palace, and Shen Qingshu and the others are waiting in line outside according to their rankings.

After a while, eunuchs sang one after another from the hall: "Xuan Chufang, Zheng Heng... Shen Qingshu entered the hall—"

This is the top ten, which is not far behind the ranking in the test, and everyone tidied up their robes and filed in.

Huangji Hall is a grand hall where various ceremonies are held. It is very solemn and solemn. It is also the first time for Shen Qingshu to come here. gaze.

"Pingshen," the emperor was still the same, and asked with interest: "Which one is Zheng Heng?"

"Student Zheng Heng asks His Majesty for his peace." Zheng Heng hurriedly came out.

"Sure enough, you are a young talent. I heard that you have the ability of photographic memory?"

"Return to Your Majesty..."

The rumors were true, the emperor skipped Huiyuan and asked Zheng Heng first, the tendency was already obvious, he had asked, and tried Zheng Heng's photographic memory again, and he was quite satisfied with his words.

The emperor looked at him, and suddenly smiled again: "It's just that you are not married at this age, Zheng Heng, how about I give you another good marriage?"

The others immediately looked over, envious in their hearts, this is not just a sign in front of the emperor, a marriage is granted when they enroll in the imperial examination, and their official career will be smoother in the future.

Only Shen Qingshu was secretly anxious, fearing that he would be foolish to refuse the marriage, but seeing Zheng Heng, he was stunned for a moment, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty loves me, but my family is poor, I'm afraid I will wrong your daughter."

The emperor smiled and said: "Hey, you are still young, but it doesn't matter. Haha, this lover of mine is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich."

Shen Qingshu couldn't see Zheng Heng's expression clearly, but heard him kowtow and say: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I only give orders from Your Majesty."

"Okay, haha, let me put it off first, after the list is released, the imperial edict will be issued."

The emperor's tone sounded very calm. I really couldn't tell that he still liked being a matchmaker. Shen Qingshu was complaining in his heart when he suddenly heard the emperor calling her name again.
