My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 62 61. Arrogant and fatuous, choosing a husband at the time
What was it like to visit the palace for the first time?
Zhao Xuanqi's first feeling was tiredness.

When standing in a specific position, you cannot look left or right, nor can you look up.

The eyes of the surrounding civil and military officials, as well as the emperor's eyes, were all focused on him and others.

His gaze was sharp, like a blade, piercing straight into the human heart, as if he wanted to dissect the body cleanly and see clearly.

too tired.

Not only is the body tired, but also the mind is tired.

It was simply a torment.

If your mental quality is not good, in this situation, even if you speak, you will not be able to speak well, and your mind will be blank.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuanqi's mental quality was pretty good, he didn't make any mistakes, and his head could move flexibly.

Everything that follows follows the process.

The eunuch announced the mighty power of the emperor, which roughly means: after you are admitted to the imperial examination, you must obey the emperor's words. Everything you get now is the emperor's favor.

Then everyone kowtowed, thanked the emperor solemnly, thanked the emperor for his kindness, and shouted long live the emperor.

Then Emperor Jingming spoke up and asked everyone not to be nervous, not to be too polite, and gave everyone the right to look up at the emperor.

But this is bullshit.

When Zhao Xuanqi and others looked up, they couldn't see clearly the true face of Emperor Jingming.

There is a hazy curtain above the throne, and through the silk gauze you can only vaguely see a man sitting on the throne.

There is another figure standing next to the man. It seems that the figure is a woman?Are there women above the court?Could it be that she is the emperor's wife?

"Why are you being so mysterious? You have to cover it with a curtain so that even the new scholars can't see the emperor's face. I'm afraid you won't recognize the emperor when you meet him in the future, right? But it's still a long time, and there will always be a chance to see the emperor in the future..."

Zhao Xuanqi kept complaining in his heart.

Next, is the palace examination.

Emperor Jingming began to roll call and randomly checked some Jinshi to answer questions.

Most of the questions asked were about pairs and poems.

There is also a small part of the understanding of some classic exams, including chatting with new scholars, asking where they are from, and asking what kind of scenery there is.

The voice of Emperor Jingming spoke with special majesty, giving people a sense of oppression, but it could not hide the gentleness in his voice, the indifference in his words, and the magnanimity in his tone.

From these simple details, it can be concluded that this emperor probably had a better personality and was a kind of emperor who was easy to talk to. He would not get angry casually and had a relatively gentle temper.

This kind of good old emperor is usually easy to fool.

Zhao Xuanqi was naturally also caught in the spot check.

As the first Jinshi this time.

He is the object of special attention.

Emperor Jingming asked him a lot of questions, most of which were complex and difficult.

Zhao Xuanqi did not cheat. His talents and learning were all real. When faced with these questions, he answered them fluently.

At first, he was a little scared, fearing that he would not be able to answer the questions asked by the emperor, and then make a fool of himself in this palace.

But the more I answered, the more confident I became.

Emperor Jingming asked questions about classics in books, or about poetry and lyrics. These were his areas of expertise, and there was no way he could make mistakes.

It's like you have a high school talent, and when you took the college entrance examination, you found that the college entrance examination questions were simple questions like 1+1=2, and your confidence suddenly increased.

Zhao Xuanqi became more and more confident as he answered. Later, his body was radiating with self-confidence. He was full of poetry and calligraphy. He was no longer nervous when he spoke and became confident.

The Jinshi who stood around Zhao Xuanqi, after all, were coming to the main hall for the first time. The gazes of many important people were superimposed on them. They felt very uneasy, inevitably a little nervous, and even flinched.

Zhao Xuanqi's confident look made him stand out from the crowd, very conspicuous, and his talents were displayed to the fullest, suppressing the aura of others.

"Good good!"

"You are worthy of being nominated as the first Jinshi. Your talent and learning are really astonishing. There are few scholars in the world who are better than you." Emperor Jingming praised him and sounded very satisfied.For some reason, Zhao Xuanqi had a strange feeling.

I always felt that the emperor's gaze was a little strange. It didn't look like the gaze of a student being questioned, but instead was full of special ambiguity.

Is it possible that this emperor is as good as Long Yang?Are you taking a fancy to yourself?Shouldn't you have your anus exploded?

Just when he was secretly suspicious.

Emperor Jingming suddenly looked at the woman next to him and asked softly: "Daughter, how do you feel?"

"My daughter thinks it's very good. It's full of knowledge and literary talent. It's all about real talent and learning."

"I'm talking about appearance, are you satisfied with it?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied. He looks good and belongs to the upper-middle level. He has a scholarly atmosphere and a gentleman's integrity. My daughter is very satisfied."

No,

The emperor was taking the imperial examination.

Why did he suddenly go talk to a woman in the middle of the trial?
Besides, what are you satisfied with being a woman here?

Through the conversation, Zhao Xuanqi learned that the person next to the emperor was the emperor's daughter.

You know, in this extremely formal scene, women are generally not allowed to appear in such places, and the palace examination should not be interrupted midway. These are all violations of the rules.

Since ancient times, women have not participated in politics or entered the court.

Now, for this to happen is a real surprise.

In any dynasty, this kind of behavior would be very explosive.

No matter how you look at this emperor, he doesn't look like a wise king. Instead, he looks like a foolish king who acts haphazardly.

Zhao Xuanqi took back his comment that Emperor Jingming was a good old man.

Also, a person who can release eunuchs to collect taxes, bring chaos to the court, and chaos in the world, but at the same time can still hold on to military power, and has an army that will serve to the death, does not look like a good man.

"And you are satisfied? You are very satisfied with me. What does this mean?" Zhao Xuanqi raised his head in surprise.

Then the curtain opened.

The figure of Emperor Jingming appeared. He was in his 30s, almost 40 years old, majestic and majestic.

The woman next to her also showed her true face, graceful and extremely beautiful.

Exquisite cheeks, luxurious skirt, exquisite body, slim body, full of wealth and luxury, the woman is like a fairy on the mountain, giving people a sense of being able to watch from a distance but not to play with, and her noble aura is compelling.

The woman stared at Zhao Xuanqi with aggressive eyes, then stretched out her slender white fingers, pointed directly at Zhao Xuanqi, and said immediately: "Father, my daughter has taken a liking to him. Only such an outstanding man is worthy of being mine. Husband!"

Above the court, the princess openly pointed at the new number one scholar and directly selected the consort!
Emperor Jingming not only did nothing to stop this ridiculous behavior, but nodded in agreement:
"I also think this man is very suitable for a consort. Your name is Zhao Xuanqi, right? Are you willing to be my daughter's consort?"

Finally, an official stood up to stop him and said, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules, isn't it? It's the imperial examination now, and Zhao Xuanqi is the number one scholar. It's against the rules for the number one scholar to be the consort."

"Haha, rules are dead, people are alive. The ranking has not been completely determined yet. If Zhao Xuanqi is willing, then he will be the third-ranked Tanhua man this time and will become my daughter's husband and my son-in-law. !”

Accompanied by Emperor Jingming's words.

All opposition voices around him disappeared.

No more objections came out.

There is no need to jump out and object.

Emperor Jingming nodded with satisfaction, and with endless majesty in his eyes, he glanced at Zhao Xuanqi and said, "Zhao Xuanqi, I ask you if you are willing?"

In response, everyone in the court turned to look at Zhao Xuanqi.

Either gloating, or envious, or cheering, eyes mixed with various emotions fell on Zhao Xuanqi at the same moment.

In an instant, everyone was paying attention.
