The queen is fierce and cute

Chapter 173
There was a lot of chattering voices, asking all kinds of questions, Su Jingan turned around, looked at the maids in front of him, quite dumbfounded.

Some of their questions could be answered, while others could not. She picked a few and answered them patiently.

Those who got the answer were naturally elated, and those who didn't get it were not unhappy, since they heard other answers anyway.

What pleased the maids the most was that after answering some questions, Jing An asked a few more questions, and when she got a response, she told them that she could make some pastries by herself and give them a taste.

For the selection in the court, the martial arts test has long since ended, and the literary test has also come to an end.

The ministers were busy in full swing, presenting the best answer to the emperor.

Sure enough, as the emperor guessed, Jing Li, who was the top scorer in the martial arts test, was also the top scorer in the literary test.

So young, but so capable, even though he is a commoner, the emperor still appreciates him very much.

According to the results of the literary and military examinations, three days later, the emperor's decree came out that the top ten in both the literary and military examinations could enter the imperial court.

If there are overlaps, there will be a subsequent candidate. In this way, a total of 20 people were arranged by the emperor in places where they are needed.

Those who were not in the top ten did not end here. After consideration, the emperor selected another forty people and assigned them to various places.

The selection cannot be held every year, but for the sake of talent replenishment, it is tentatively scheduled to be once every three years, depending on the situation, it may be extended, no more than five years at the latest.

When the emperor's edict was issued, those who got the edict were overjoyed, and those who didn't get it, at least went to Beijing once, and some said when they returned home.

In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tian Gui and Concubine Yao sat on one side, neither of them looked at or spoke to each other.

The emperor invited the two noble concubines here because he wanted to discuss holding a palace banquet in the palace.

At that time, let all 20 people selected for this selection participate, and take this opportunity to let Yao Guifei see each other.

Among the 20 people, many are young talents who have never married wives or concubines. The emperor prefers Jingli, but in the end he has to ask concubine Yao Gui and the fifth princess for their opinions.

Although the emperor has not come back yet, the two noble concubines understood what the emperor meant. In Concubine Tian's heart, she wished that the fifth princess would choose a commoner.

Even if the eleventh prince is also the emperor's child, and the fifth princess is so favored, a commoner son-in-law is still incomparable to the children of aristocratic families.

When the eighth prince discusses marriage with the ninth prince, she will choose carefully and find two daughters from good families to help her sons.

Concubine Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip. She sent someone to check the [-] people selected this time, and there were five people who met her criteria, including the unexpected descendants of the aristocratic family.

But in her heart, she was more interested in the commoner, that is, Jing Li who came out on top.

She didn't think that ordinary people were inferior to aristocratic families, besides, being able to come out on top was a skill.

The children of the aristocratic family, more or less, have some problems, even if they are still outstanding this time, but there are some things that the common people will not be aware of since they were young.

The status of her own princess is already very valuable, since she can win the first place, she doesn't have to worry about her future future.

"The emperor is here!" The two noble concubines had their own concerns. Outside the hall, the eunuch's chanting came, and the emperor walked in from outside the hall. The two got up one after another and saluted the emperor.

"Forget it. I asked you to come to talk about the palace banquet, which requires the cooperation of the two concubines. Of course, taking advantage of the opportunity of the palace banquet, the concubine can also see each other. Help me to have a good time." Look, which one is worthy of my fifth princess."
