Chapter 286 Xiao Jingxuan Participates in the Martial Arts Examination
Ye Ping'an, Ye Peng, Xiao Jingxuan and others were also busy with their own affairs.
After meeting the emperor, Ye Ping'an began to take over some of the industries left behind by the Qi family.
While being busy every day, I also have to learn knowledge and improve myself.
Ye Ping'an felt that he was like a spinning top, but he was still young. No matter how talented he was, he had to study hard, otherwise he would easily stagnate.
Ye Ping'an knew what he wanted and what he had to face, so he worked very hard.
Ye Peng felt sorry for his children when he saw them busy as dogs, but he felt even more sorry for himself. He was dragged to the military camp by his father every day. He had to learn military tactics today, fight in a martial arts arena tomorrow, and also learn military regulations.
After a series of operations, he was really overwhelmed and extremely tired.
Killing pigs, selling pork and farming are not as tiring as being a soldier.
When he was extremely tired, Ye Peng would go to his uncle for a drink.
Ghost Blade said coldly, "I don't drink."
Ye Peng: "Then you watch me drink, and if I get drunk you take care of me."
Ghost Blade: "I think you can go and get a wife."
Ye Peng: "... When will my little uncle find me an aunt? I at least have a pair of children, but you are alone."
Ghost Sword: "..."
After Xiao Jingxuan suffered torture from Su Yinghuai that day, he ran away from home the next day and there has been no news of him since then.
Except Ye Tang, no one else knew where he went.
Su Yinghuai came to see Xiao Jingxuan every day, but they couldn't see each other every day. Ye Ping'an, Ye Peng, and Ye Tang were very busy and often missed classes.
Su Yinghuai simply changed his teaching method. He no longer went to Pingshan Palace every day, and asked Ye Tang and others to go to the Imperial College every five days.
Every time Ye Tang and his friends went there, they would receive a pile of homework.
......
Because of the relationship between Gao Yi and the Qiao family, the number of officials in the court suddenly decreased by one third, and now talents are urgently needed to fill the gap.
Emperor Yuanwu summoned back all the ministers whom he had sent out for training in previous years.
And let the people below focus on arranging matters for the autumn and spring examinations.
The civil and military imperial examinations were held at different times.
The military examination was mainly used to select military talents for the Yuan Dynasty. The civil examination had existed since the founding of the country, but the military examination was only introduced ten years ago, and it was proposed by Shangguan Zhenhua.
The military examination is held every year. Compared with the civil examination, it is not taken seriously and the talents selected are not as high-ranking as the Jinshi from the civil examination.
The year before last, Emperor Wu of Yuan Dynasty improved the examination method of the military examination. Military generals were not only required to have strong fighting power, but also to be proficient in military tactics. Therefore, in addition to testing martial arts, the military examination also tested military strategies.
If you fail the written test, you cannot take the martial arts test.
This year's martial arts examination will be held in June and July, with the written test in mid-June and the martial arts test in early July.
It has been more than a month since Xiao Jingxuan left home. Ye Tang farmed and studied as usual every day and did not ask about Xiao Jingxuan's affairs.
In mid-June, one day before the written examination for the military examination, Ye Tang suddenly received a letter from Xiao Jingxuan.
"My husband, are you going to participate in this year's martial arts exam?" Ye Tang glanced at the letter and smiled softly: "It's really exciting!"
She looked up at the stars in the night sky: "I wonder if the fruits I planted are ripe yet. I want to eat cherries and blueberries."
It's another day of missing Qingquan Village and Wenggang Village.
The military examination was presided over by the Ministry of War.
Ye Tang arrived outside the examination hall early in the morning. She kept a low profile and did not advertise her identity as a princess.
The entrance to the martial arts examination hall was crowded with people. Ye Tang's carriage was parked under a big tree at the entrance. She heard many passers-by talking about the martial arts examination.
"Who are the candidates who have the best chance of winning the title of Wu Zhuang this year?"
"General Mo's eldest son, Mo Cong, participated in the military examination. He is very good at riding and shooting. I think he will definitely win the first prize."
"I am more optimistic about Han Wenbin of the Han tribe. He is a martial arts genius that the Han tribe has devotedly cultivated."
"Master Minglang of the Su tribe is even more powerful."
"..."
Amid the discussions, a carriage suddenly appeared at the entrance of the written examination room, surrounded by a group of guards. The guards were wearing the unique clothes of the Pingshan Palace.
"Is this the carriage from Prince Pingshan's palace?"
Everyone at the door was stunned, and the officers and soldiers who were maintaining order went up to greet them.
Xiao Jingxuan, dressed in a dashing manner, walked out of the carriage with a handsome and charming smile on his face.
"I'm not late, am I?"
The women present all had hearts in their eyes.
"King Pingshan is so handsome!"
"Ahhh! The most handsome man in the capital must be King Pingshan!"
"King Pingshan looks like a banished immortal from heaven!"
The men present heard the women's screams and felt extremely disdainful.
He is just a prince with beautiful looks and title, what is there to worship him for?
A man should be passionate and full of masculinity.
"Princess, look, it's the prince." Tan Yun said as he lifted the curtain.
Ye Tang followed her gaze and saw Xiao Jingxuan, the show-off.
"He's dressed quite strikingly today."
Today, Jamel Xiao was actually wearing a red dress, and as the robe fluttered in the wind, there was an indescribable sense of mystery.
What a monster.
This monster is hers.
Ye Tang curled his lips and smiled, got off the carriage, and walked towards Xiao Jingxuan.
Xiao Jingxuan was showing off his beautiful face like a peacock, causing the women to scream again and again. Turning his eyes, he suddenly saw Ye Tang walking towards him.
Xiao Jingxuan immediately restrained himself a little and walked towards Ye Tang.
"My wife!" He stretched out his hands to hug Ye Tang.
Ye Tang hugged him first and lifted him up high.
Jamel Xiao: “…”
Onlookers: “…”
Ye Tang smiled and said, "My husband, you look so handsome today, even more handsome than when we got married."
Xiao Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, then he bent down and said to Ye Tang affectionately: "Then your husband will often wear this in the future."
Ye Tang nodded and put Xiao Jingxuan down.
Their actions were too intimate, and after the onlookers came to their senses, one of them snorted softly.
"Hugging and kissing in the street, it's simply..."
Ye Tang turned his head and looked at the man: "What?"
The man's scalp tightened, and the words that came out of his mouth became: "It's such a perfect match! A couple like gods, the envy of others!!!"
Ye Tang smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
Then he said to Jamel Xiao, “It’s getting late, go in quickly. Since you are here, take the exam well.”
Xiao Jingxuan hummed: "My lady, just wait to become the wife of the martial arts champion!"
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the gate, and took out his admission certificate, which was written by Emperor Yuanwu himself.
Upon seeing this, the officers and soldiers immediately welcomed the person in respectfully.
The onlookers were stunned.
"What's going on? How did King Pingshan get in? That's the examination room!"
"Could he be the invigilator?"
"No, King Pingshan just said that he wants Princess Pingshan to be the wife of the top martial arts champion, so King Pingshan is here to take the exam."
"Prince Pingshan actually participated in the military examination?"
In the eyes of the people in the capital, Xiao Jingxuan is an extremely lazy and useless prince. Although he is very useless, because he is the only son of the old King Pingshan, he has been wandering outside since childhood and has experienced a lot of hardships. People don't want to be too harsh on him. He can be lazy and do nothing, as long as he lives his life in peace.
But no one would have thought that Xiao Jingxuan, such a lazy guy, would come to participate in the martial arts examination.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital.
