The government office was brightly lit and the crowded. Compared to the banquet before the exam, the atmosphere was joyful and relaxing.

The candidates in the hall were arranged in order, and under the guidance of the ritual officer, they visited the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the Master Fang, and presented gifts.

Xue Qing stood at the forefront as the top of the list, visiting one by one... This time the teacher was two adults from the Imperial College. They were both around forty years old and from Hanlin. As the main candidates, they will be considered their students after the day. In the future, no matter whether they enter the official position or the size of their official positions, they will respect the teacher... This is also the reason why Wang Lieyang wants to control the gentleman's examination. Master, apprentice and classmates are one of the structures of the official relationship.

Although Chen Sheng had a high position, he refused to be the chief examiner and only served as an examiner, so he was a house teacher. This time there were many house teachers. Fortunately, the gift was just a meaning, otherwise the candidates would be afraid that they would have no money to return home.

The examiner congratulated and admonished the candidates. The candidates sang the deer song poem together, and after the Kuixing dance, the ceremony was over. The banquet officially began. Everyone was at will. Xue Qing was about to take a seat, but was stopped by the people behind him.

"Xue Jieyuan." Suo Shengxuan said with bright eyes.

Xue Qing smiled at him: "Suo the same year." The juren in the same subject said that he was the same year. These candidates did not distinguish between having sex, but were all the same students.

Suo Shengxuan's eyes became brighter, and he was very happy with this title, saying, "We will be the same year in the future... I really didn't expect that a month ago I could only recite your poems by Mr. Xue, and today I can become a fellow student... I'm just calling each other brothers, I'm older than you..."

Xue Qing laughed, let it go, thank you.

Zhang Shuangtong over there had already deliberately called him: "Go toast the teacher, don't talk anymore."

Xue Qing bowed to Suo Shengxuan and was about to leave, but Suo Shengxuan was still standing in front of her and said, "Mr. Xue, I admire you very much..."

So? Xue Qing looked at him.

So Shengxuan's handsome face appeared aggrieved: "So why don't you compete with me openly?"

Well... the child is quite interesting, Xue Qing smiled and said, "Master Suo, because I don't compare with you."

Yi...Suo Shengxuan looked at him, his eyes became brighter, and his smile dispersed: "Young Master Xue." The word "Ah" is all in vain.

He was talking about Qi Niang. He knew Qi Niang. Qi Niang was competing with him secretly, and he turned out to be a secret competition with Qi Niang. In the secret competition, there was no need to be honest. This young man knew everything, but he didn't say anything, and he was not anxious or angry... Is the most gentleman and the least person? As Qi Niang said, he felt that the young man was really crystal clear, calm and generous.

"It's true that he is worthy of being Young Master Qingzi." Suo Shengxuan said.

Xue Qing raised his hand again and said, "So, Master Suo, don't mind." He was about to step over.

Suo Shengxuan still didn't move, with a smile on his face, and said, "Then, he is not here now, Young Master Qingzi, let's compare with each other openly."

Well... Xue Qing looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Liu Chunyang came over. He had been staring at him before, but he couldn't help but walk over... It's wrong. Xue Qing wouldn't talk to the people of Xiliang in public for so long... If you have any grudges or grudges, just solve them privately.

"What are you doing? Lu Mingyan, it's not a fellow disciple." Zhang Shuangtong shouted and followed him.

The candidates in Chang'an Prefecture have also paid attention to this place, Xiliang people... At this time, when Zhang Shuangtong and Liu Chunyang came, they could either watch or follow him. The young men in Xiliang were naturally surrounded and stood behind Suo Shengxuan.

Chang'an Prefecture and Xiliang are the most crowded candidates in the prefecture. When they move, they feel like the entire hall is moving.

What happened?

The candidates who talked and talked to each other and presented themselves with the examiners all looked over, the people of Xiliang and Chang'an Mansion... The hall gradually became quiet.

Suo Shengxuan said, "It's nothing, I want to play chess with Young Master Xue again." His voice resounded throughout the hall.

Playing chess... The candidates and examiners in the hall suddenly realized and understood that the Prince of Xiliang was still not convinced... The Prince of Xiliang vomited blood and admitted defeat, but I was afraid that it had spread all over the world. This was indeed a bit unbearable for the prince of a country.

I want to compete again and find face.

Everyone looked different, smiling, disdainful, and expecting.

The chief examiner who was originally going to ask questions was silent.

Zhang Shuangtong said: "Prince Suo, you are not following the rules now. It's like fighting a war. You have been killed, how can you die again..."

These words were really disrespectful, and the young men in Xiliang suddenly became angry.

"Give it an example." Zhang Shuangtong said, "No. So stingy..."

Suo Shengxuan stopped the young men, with a gentle expression and more sincere expression, saying, "I sincerely want to learn about Mr. Xue's chess skills again, and I hope Mr. Xue will give this opportunity."

Play chess?

"It's also a beautiful talk."

"Most of us were not able to meet Mr. Xue and His Highness the Crown Prince on that day. It is a great honor to be lucky to meet him today."

A voice of agreement sounded among the candidates.

Chen Sheng sat on the stage and watched the scene smiling without saying a word.

"What are you comparing? Do you think playing chess is buying vegetables..." Zhang Shuangtong said, "You can compare if you say you want to compete."

Suo Shengxuan always smiled, not caring about the displeasure of Zhang Shuangtong and the people of Chang'an Mansion. He only looked at Xue Qing and said, "Young Master Xue..." he begged a little, and then blinked, "Is it inconvenient for Young Master Xue?"

Well... Xue Qing looked at him and smiled. Liu Chunyang, who was standing beside him, thought to himself, what does the last sentence of Prince Suo mean? Is it threatening? That's it, I'm off, I've gotten into trouble.

"Yes." Xue Qing said, "That's right. I once made a vow to pay my respects to my father with full scores of music and skills. If I achieve my wish, I will no longer discuss chess skills within three years."

Uh...Suo Shengxuan was stunned.

The atmosphere in the hall was also stagnant.

"I think I've heard this somewhere?" a candidate murmured.

A laughter sounded, but the next moment, Zhang Shuangtong closed her mouth again, her expression became solemn. She stood beside Xue Qing and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I'm next to me when I swear."

Chen Sheng on the high platform laughed, and the examiner next to him shook his head.

"Young people nowadays... can you lie at will?" He said, "This Xue Qing shouldn't be such a person... I am quiet, steady, talented and virtuous... Why...

Suo Shengxuan called out to Young Master Xue, looking helpless: "Don't joke anymore, I'm serious."

Xue Qing nodded and said, "That's right, Master Su is very good at chess. I have to do my best to play against Master Su. My body... has not yet recovered. My father passed away early. My widowed mother raised me alone now. It's not that I cherish my body and fear the battle. I am really my parents who are my body and hair. I dare not ignore it."

So... the complicated expressions of the candidates around him disappeared. Xue Qing's wealth history has spread all over the world. He is indeed an orphan and widowed mother. He was born in poverty and lived under someone else's roof. He was beaten by Miss Guo and was almost dead. Later, he fought with someone and was chopped off his arms and almost disabled... He played chess and vomited blood. This kid was a bit miserable... No wonder he was so weak and weak.

Everyone looked at Xue Qing with a look of sympathy.

Chen Sheng smiled again, and the examiner next to him nodded and said no further.

Suo Shengxuan looked at Xue Qing and said, "What are you telling the truth?"

Xue Qing bowed to him and said, "Your Highness, I know you are not convinced, but the world's great chess skills are not something you can see through. I am lucky enough to win the game of Your Highness, which is unreasonable. I believe that Your Highness's superb chess skills are not inferior to me. Winning and losing are just a coincidence."

The candidates around nodded one after another. This is the style of a gentleman. He won without being arrogant and defeated. It is not like this Prince Suo, who is so unyielding after losing a game... So what if he wins? Is he the best in the world?

Suo Shengxuan looked at Xue Qing and said, "I don't understand a little..." But he could understand the eyes around him, why did he become unkind and contemptuous? He didn't say anything... "Young Master Qingzi, I just said..."

Xue Qing bowed to him again and said, "I know, Your Highness, I promise today that I will play chess with Your Highness again. Please allow me to give me some time. I really can't worry my mother. I guess the news has been sent back at this time."

The chess played vomiting blood, the others watched the excitement, and the family was heartbroken and worried. The widowed mother was still anxious at home. If she fought again... she was unfilial, the candidates nodded, and when they thought of their family, they looked a little sad... homesick.

What else Suo Shengxuan wanted to say was heard on the stage.

"Okay, today's Lu Ming Banquet will not talk about other things." said the examiner, "Please sit down."

The teacher spoke, the disciples obeyed, and the students all said in unison that they should have scattered their own ways.

Suo Shengxuan looked at the eyes around him and whispered and laughed, and suddenly saw Xue Qing and said, "Young Master Qingzi, have you bullied me?"

Xue Qing walked past him, stopped after hearing this, smiled at him, and said, "Yes." He followed him and followed the candidates from Chang'an Mansion and headed towards his seat.

Suo Shengxuan glared, ha... turned to look at the boy... so bad and open-minded.

.....

.....

"This young man is so polite, neither humble nor arrogant, and honest and generous." An examiner sighed, "It is worthy of being the top of this list."

After saying that, he looked at the side, but the examiners next to him looked strange.

"What's wrong?" He was puzzled and recognized these people as chess art examiners. "How is there anything wrong?"

The examiners looked at each other, then shook their heads together: "No."

It's weird... The previous examiner no longer paid attention to drinking by himself when he smiled.

These examiners looked at each other again.

"I think our original decision was inappropriate..." An examiner couldn't help but whisper, "This kid... why didn't he play chess with the prince, I don't know what he thought? He was so shameless..."

"Yes, such a top spot..." Another examiner murmured, looking at the candidates in the field, his eyes fell on the young man in the green robe. "I always feel a little uneasy... Let him go to the Beijing City to enter the sanctuary, will you cause any trouble?"
