The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 3 Selection Assessment
The bluestone avenue outside the palace gate was full of officials' cars and sedan chairs. Thanks to Fu Xuechen's choice of riding a horse, he could easily squeeze through the narrow gap in the road to the front, and was able to dismount very close to the palace gate and throw the reins away. To Fu An, let him lead the horse to find a place to rest, and wait for her to come out.

All the teenagers who are going to participate in the selection of the prince's accompanying study have a record in the palace. After checking and checking with the guards guarding the palace gate, they can be led in by the little eunuch at the side and directly arrive at the assessment site.

Fu Xuechen had just walked a few steps with a young eunuch, when suddenly a call came from behind: "Yuchen! Yuchen! Wait for me!"

Kind of bad!This is when he met an acquaintance of Fu Yuchen's, and it happened that Fu An was not around, so he couldn't remind her in time who it was.

Fu Xuechen settled down, looked back, and saw a masculine young man with a strong figure and dark skin chasing him head-on. He looked at Fu Xuechen with joy, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be very familiar with Fu Yuchen.

"It's you!" Fu Xuechen returned the other party with a polite smile, flashing through his mind what Fu An once mentioned on the road, about the names, backgrounds and descriptions of several classmates and friends Fu Yuchen often interacted with, roughly locked in two people who were similar, One is Zhang Chuyang, the youngest son of Zhang Huo, the servant of the Ministry of War, and the other is Guan Enming, the proud second son of Zhenxi Houguan, who is also a noble son.

These two are also candidates for the prince's accompanying study, but the chance of winning is relatively small. Unless there is a miracle, these two are candidates for accompanying the prince.

Leading the way for one person is leading, and leading the way for two people is also leading. The little eunuch with great eyesight stopped and waited for the person who came to stand side by side with Fu Xuechen before continuing to lead the way. Unfortunately, people in the palace are very particular about keeping their mouths shut. Fu Xuechen was not given the slightest reminder of who the visitor was.

Fu Xuechen had no choice but to walk forward silently, pretending to be a little nervous, not to speak easily.

"Is Yuchen nervous?" The young man was a little careless. He glanced at Fu Xuechen and comforted him: "Don't worry! I said I will help you, and I will help you to the end. I am sure no one else will pass you. !"

Fu Xuechen was surprised: "How are you going to help me?"

The young man looked around, and said in a low voice: "My father revealed to me last night that my uncle from the distant family - Zhang Ying, the commander of the imperial guards in the palace, has already greeted our friends for us. Let's put some water on it, and we will definitely be promoted in the martial arts test!"

How bold!Fu Xuechen waterfall sweat, this is cheating before the imperial court!

At the same time, she also knew who this young man was, Zhang Chuyang, the youngest son of the Minister of War, no wonder he knew the inside information about the riding and archery assessment in advance.

Fu Xuechen didn't do anything to stop him from cheating. According to what she knew about Fu Yuchen's character, she wouldn't consider the consequences of doing so. Knowing that someone could help him cheat, it was too late to be happy.

After struggling for a while, Fu Xuechen could only frowned, and said in a low voice: "It's not enough just to pass the test in riding and shooting! My opponent is Xie Yucheng, who has been studying writing since childhood. I'm afraid I won't be his opponent in the previous writing test. "

"He!" Zhang Chuyang didn't regard Xie Yucheng as a big threat, he waved his hand and said, "It's just a literati who can read books but is not good at martial arts. The current emperor is a figure like a god of war. How can it be possible that he will come to the world immediately?" Choose this kind of literati weak chicken as a companion for the princes!"

Fu Xuechen shook his head: "Brother Zhang, don't be careless! As the saying goes, it is easier to conquer the world than to defend the world. Now that the world has been settled, it is a good time for civil servants to use what they have learned to govern the world. The Holy One will pay more attention to martial arts. Otherwise, the children of civil servants will not be eligible for selection."

Zhang Chuyang was stunned, and looked at Fu Xuechen several times in a row: "It makes sense! Yuchen, you think so far today."

Whoa!What are you talking about... Could it be that that guy Fu Yuchen usually acts like a silly sweet straw in front of his friends?
Fu Xuechen was speechless: "I heard what my father said."

"Oh!" Zhang Chuyang believed it immediately: "Uncle Fu said it, no wonder! My father said that the Holy Father often praised Uncle Fu as a wise general."

Xie Yucheng was also studying at Guozixue, and his grades in his class were ranked very high. Although he was not as good as some of the civil servants from Jiangnan, he was still considered to be a little talented, and his writing skills were much better than those of Xungui's children.

After much deliberation, Zhang Chuyang couldn't think of a way for Wen Shi to overwhelm the opponent, so he frowned.

Fu Xuechen is actually not worried about this. The time and space where the Darong Empire is located, the territory and geography are similar to the original time and space Earth Huaxia, but there are many places that are different. It is neither Jinling nor Yanjing, but it is more southwest than Yanjing and more northwest than Jinling, and it is exactly in the center of the empire's territory.

There are many differences in history, except for the inescapable primitive society—the slave society—the development of civilization in the feudal era, and the repeated changes in the cycle of chaos. It's all different!

In such an almost new world, Fu Xuechen, who is better at learning than words, has an entire world of ancient prose and poetry as her backing, no matter what kind of exam questions she has to face, she is not afraid, although she actually has many ancient prose that she has learned before. I have forgotten all the ancient poems.

Of course, don’t be afraid of returning, if you can, Fu Xuechen doesn’t want to use those big waves to wash the sand, and still be able to shock others with the masterpieces and poems that have been handed down from ancient times to the present. Going out of line will only create trouble for the future.

After thinking about it, I arrived at the place. This is a side hall. Dozens of seats have been arranged in the hall, and each seat is equipped with ink. As the candidates arrive one after another and take their seats, the vacancies are rapidly decreasing. The sound gradually rose.

Ignoring the surrounding environment and furnishings, as well as the antique costumes of the teenagers, the whole classroom has a sense of sight for future generations.

As soon as Fu Xuechen and Zhang Chuyang arrived, they saw another tall boy with the same dark skin turned back from his seat, waved vigorously at the two of them, and greeted them: "Yuchen! Chuyang! This way! I reserved seats for you all!"

Another friend of Fu Yuchen's!This person should be Guan Enming.

Fu Xuechen reluctantly approached Zhang Chuyang together, nodded in response: "Brother Guan has arrived early!"

Zhang Chuyang pulled Guan Enming, and the three of them occupied a corner, and began to discuss and guess what the essay test of this assessment would be about with great interest. Unfortunately, there are very few civil servants in the circle of the three of them. Even if there are one or two, they are not qualified. Running for the election, not to mention that they are all scumbags, who only know how to skip classes and play around, can't help the three of them at all in this regard.

Fu Xuechen made up his mind to listen more and talk less, and seemed to be participating in the discussion, but in fact, he was watching all directions and listening carefully, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

The sky has just started to light up, and it has not yet reached the point where you can write without hindrance. Apart from the guards in front of the hall, only the little eunuch is busy leading the way, checking the assessment tools placed, and taking care of the charcoal basins around. As far as the princes are concerned, it is far from the time to appear on the stage.

Aside from the small groups of young people who were whispering to each other, the most eye-catching thing in the arena was probably the few girls in the far corner who were wandering among the young people, as if they were a country of their own, and their average age was also the youngest. All of them are dressed in pink, indescribably soft and cute.

As he was observing, Fu Xuechen suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her. Following this gaze, he saw a young man with a thin face and a bit of vigor sitting diagonally to the left. He looked at the three people here disdainfully, met Fu Xuechen's eyes, and did not back down. On the contrary, there was a bit of provocation in his eyes. He mouthed, thumbed up, and clearly and softly spit out three words towards Fu Xuechen. The word "dead bitch"!
Who is this!Even in the palace, he dared to be so arrogant.

Fu Xuechen's face turned dark, and subconsciously began to reflect on whether he had exposed his flaws. Zhang Chuyang and Guan Enming beside him both noticed, followed her gaze to the thin boy, and immediately stared back fiercely with wide eyes.

"It's Cheng Defang, that skinny monkey again!" Guan Enming muttered displeasedly, "I'm ugly, so I like to arrange Yuchen, so just ignore him."

Zhang Chuyang said: "It seems that this kid is itchy, look for a chance later, I will help Yuchen find a chance to beat him up!"

It turned out that the skinny boy was one of the strong competitors mentioned by his father, Cheng Defang, the grandson of Duke Yi!Fu Xuechen understood, and at the same time, she gave Fu Yuchen's two little friends a sideways glance, and she was about to beat them up if she opened her mouth. These two are not good things.

However, judging from the reactions of the two little friends, I didn't show any flaws anywhere. The reason why Cheng Defang cursed her as a pussy was probably because she and Fu Yuchen's siblings were too handsome and fair-looking, and lacked the rough and masculine qualities of the generals. Because of breath.

But at this moment, it was too late to find fault with Cheng Defang. Following the eunuch on duty outside the palace gate, he slapped his whip twice. After a moment of silence, he saw several teenagers and a girl following the two old men, and a group of people walked straight away. Entered the side hall.

It's the prince and princess, and the two instructors from Mingde Hall have arrived!

Everyone in the hall quickly returned to their seats, and they all stood beside their seats, quietly watching the group of people walk to the front of the crowd.

"Greetings, Master! Greetings, Your Highnesses!" All the people greeted with a loud voice.

The Darong Empire is not in favor of kneeling and saluting, and respects teachers, even princes and princesses do not have any privileges in front of the teacher, they all have to perform the disciple ceremony, so everyone has to greet the master first, and then come down to the prince and princess. The etiquette is taught in advance, and no one can make mistakes.

"No courtesy! Sit down."

The old man at the head waved his hand to let everyone sit down, including the princes and princesses, who also took their seats behind him. Starting with the introduction of the princes and princesses, this day's accompanying reading test officially started.
