Female consort [Gl]

[2] Meet again

Meeting Qiu Che again, the imperial examination went smoothly.

During the palace examination in her previous life, she only relied on her years of study memory to answer the test papers in a satisfactory manner.

Although he won the first prize in the end, he was not favored by the emperor.

So much so that it took several years to get a position as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and then he finally went to the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple.

But in this life, Qiu Che is already an old fox who has been immersed in officialdom for ten years.

The test questions asked by the examiner were problems that she had already solved in practice eight hundred years ago, so the answers were naturally at her fingertips.

In the middle of the palace examination, the emperor arrived late, without any fanfare, but Qiu Che caught a glimpse of him when his bright yellow robe passed by him.

Qiu Che held the pen and lowered his eyes as if he was thinking about the topic, a little lost in thought.

The current emperor Li Shi is in his prime, but the Queen Mother was regent in the early years. The emperor only regained power after the Xuanyin coup three years ago and is eager to find good talents to prove his ability.

He also paid special attention to this palace examination.

Qiu Che knew that this was her chance to come forward.

She thought about the path she had taken countless times, but from her previous life to this life - enrolling her brother in school was always the only thing she did not regret, and it was also the most correct choice she had ever made.

Only by walking out of the Qiu family and moving to a high and powerful place can we get rid of the current predicament where everyone can step on her.

The imperial examination was her biggest opportunity.

Qiu Che was the first to write. The huge Baohe Hall was silent, and you could hear the needle drop as the pen and ink settled.

Emperor Li Shi stood at the back of the palace. When he heard the sound, he turned his eyes. He paused at the young, handsome and winning face of the scholar. He raised his hand to call his personal eunuch Fuzi, and asked in a low voice: "Who is that?"

Fuzi looked up and glanced up. , and responded in a low voice: "The name is Qiu Che, the second young master of the Qiu family. He is the Huiyuan who won the last examination."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "From the Qiu family? Which Qiu family?"

Fuzi bent at the waist. A little lower: "It's... it should be the Qiu family from three years ago."

The emperor said no more.

Fuzi took a sneak peek and saw that the emperor's initially interested expression suddenly turned dull.

He sighed secretly and thought, what a pity.

After the palace examination, the roll call will not be released until the third day.

After walking out of the palace, the atmosphere among the candidates relaxed. Qiu Che heard someone whisper: "Brother Wang, who do you think will be the top scholar in this palace examination?"

"Of course it is Wu Yiqi, the young master of the Wu family, the most talented person in the capital. But he is definitely not in vain."

"I don't think so. Isn't the number one in this examination just an unknown concubine? I heard that he is from the Jiangnan Qiu family..."
