"Don't look at it. I already looked at it when I entered the palace yesterday."

In the early morning, a group of women wearing smoky blue silk jackets and lilac-colored embroidered armor stood in a row and walked south along the palace wall.

They all wear gauze hats on their heads, which are different from the hairpin gauze hats worn by formal female officials. Their gauze hats are plain, except that they have an extra circle of pink ribbons than men's gauze hats.

A thin and small woman couldn't help but raise her head to look at the scenery on the left and right. The companion behind her would gently poke her with his hand.

"There are so many people walking around, don't look around."

"I, I just, just took a look." The woman turned back and stammered, "I thought I was dreaming."

The woman behind her was slightly taller than her, with an oval face, thin eyebrows, and an elegant and quiet appearance. Seeing that she actually stopped to explain, her tone became anxious:

"Follow me quickly."

The woman in front quickly picked up her clothes and followed him.

Walking all the way to a palace gate, the female officer leading the team glanced at the sun that had not yet risen and asked them to stop aside.

Don't be the best, she can take him with you and teach him slowly.

Xu Xuan couldn't help it and looked at her a few more times.

The thin woman was really not a brave person. Seeing that her companion didn't want to talk, she shrank her neck and stood there.

It was precisely because of this that even though she was not versed in poetry and had no merit, she was still selected among the female officials.

When a sparrow landed on a branch, a woman in a house happened to open the window.

"That woman is Wan Chuntao, the only one this time who has no official family background?"

"Didn't you say that Duanji Palace is in Xiyuan? Why is there also a female official of Duanji Palace here?"

"I'm really sorry, I, I..."

It's just that His Majesty asked her to do this matter more cleanly. She couldn't let these female officials get a reputation just because they were in the harem and did nothing.

But such a girl who was always wrong in the palace actually got the first place in the Confucian classics exam.

"...Yes, Xu Gongling."

"Palace order, this Wan Chuntao used to be a maid, but she was kicked out of the palace because she was ill. His Majesty said that in this selection of female officials, as long as she can be selected, she will have an official status, so she came to take the exam."

"Your Majesty, the smaller one is Qi Xiaoxing. The first place in this female official's writing test is nineteen this year. She is from Shandong. Her parents died young. Her grandmother was the eldest daughter of the former Weiyuan Marquis. Her grandfather

yes……"

Behind her, Lian Mo Niang was a little impatient, but still said:

"Your Majesty has given some female officers to go out to the court. This lady is wearing a red dress and should be going to the sixth subject. I just don't know why this female officer is so young."

"Last night, the female official sent word that the place where the empress saw us was the Qianqing Palace. This is the Kunning Gate. The one who just entered is the imperial physician. The corridors of the Kunning Palace are the imperial physician's place."

The thin woman immediately raised her head and stepped on her feet: "Yes, is the Queen the Queen here?"

"Qi Xiaoxing climbed the wall to take the exam. After he finished the exam, he crawled back. Our imperial edict announcing the good news came to the door, and the Qi family got the news."

Lian Mo Niang is well versed in classics and history, so it would be a good time to go to Duanji Hall. As for Qi Xiaoxing... you can ask Shangyi Bureau if you want it.

….

This person was not reserved by Xu Xuan for herself. Your Majesty chose this one from a group of women and asked her to be sent to the imperial court. Naturally, she had to do the same.

The thin woman who had been looking up just now quickly turned around and apologized:

"Qi Xiaoxing also has a younger brother. Her grandmother wanted to marry the niece of Li Ge's old lady Mi for her younger brother, so she wanted to marry Qi Xiaoxing back to the Marquis of Weiyuan. During His Majesty's Northern Expedition, Marquis Weiyuan was convicted.

The matter was delayed. I know that her grandmother has a very high vision, and she would not dare to come to ask for marriage even if she is from an ordinary family."

Lian Mo Niang sighed softly:

"No matter how much I know, I still can't do as well as you did in the exam. Qi Xiaoxing and Qi Zhuangyuan, can you stand more honestly?"

The thin woman quickly turned around and looked at her companion with a smile:

"Miss Lian, you are really

It’s so amazing! You know so much.”

Xu Xuan looked at the end of the team, where there was a woman who looked rough at first glance, standing out among a group of well-born female officials.

"Madam, the new embroidery pattern has arrived."

Xu Gongling had been in charge of palace affairs for many years, and she could memorize the lives of just a few hundred people in one night, especially Qi Xiaoxing, who ranked first this time.

The morning bird spreads its wings and flies into the distance.

I already had a plan in mind for where these two people would go.

"Her husband-in-law also wants her to take the female officer exam?"

"This is really grandma's plan for glory, and her granddaughter's plan... The one at the back is the second place this time? I remember her surname is Lian, Lian Moniang, the daughter of Lian Zhaowen, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy?"

The thin woman immediately turned back.

The sun gradually rises and shines on everyone.

"Her grandfather was Qi Lingyun, a former historian, her father was also a Jinshi in the previous dynasty, and her mother was also from an extraordinary background. So why is she not married yet at the age of nineteen?"

Wan Chuntao pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Really? Show me."

Xu Xuan nodded.

"nothing."

"Returning to the palace, she is the only daughter in the family, and her husband is a bride."

She reached out and opened a thin book, flipped through a few pages, and then closed the book.

"Exactly. Lian Moniang is twenty-two years old, married, and has a three-year-old daughter."

Naturally, she also wanted to figure it out slowly.

Passing by in a red dress and holding a stack of documents was Sheng Ling'er, the current chief secretary of the Procuratorate of Duanji Palace.

This was really euphemistic. Xu Xuan frowned slightly and said:

"Mi has Xianghu Academy behind her, and is still married to Mr. Li Ge. Marquis Weiyuan holds military power and marries his daughter to Marquis Shou'an. Her grandmother treats her own pair of grandchildren as rare treasures.

It must be exchanged for the glory of the lintel. Then why can Qi Xiaoxing take the female officer exam?"

"To be able to pass the examination as a female officer as a maid, this woman has perseverance. After the emperor and the empress have seen these female officers, they will be looking for people from all over the place. This Wan Chun Tao must stay."

The woman standing behind her sighed softly:

Wan Chuntao can't be said to be a beautiful girl, and the lilac-colored embroidered armor looks cramped everywhere on her body.

After a while, the sounds of salutes came one after another from a distance.

Qi Xiaoxing didn't know that her future was already being considered. When she saw a woman walking by in a red dress, her eyes widened.

"In the past, everyone in Jinxiu Club talked about scripts and dramas, and life was so comfortable. Now, it's better, they are all talking about female officials, female officials, and female officials! It's just that Li Zhenjun is not here, Shou Yuejun also wrote poems about women being officials, it's really

It's annoying."

After she finished complaining, the woman put the book aside.

"Anyway, I will never do whatever the female official wants to do. My family taught me poetry, calligraphy and painting, and allowed me to grow up in such a noble life, not just for me to show my face and bring shame to my family.

"

Zhao Siri: Isn’t that right? There are actually some people who think that they didn’t become a female official because they didn’t want to, not because they couldn’t pass the exam?

The manuscript was scrapped on a large scale and I may not be able to update it tonight. Everyone should go to bed early. I wrote down the third update in my notebook.
Chapter completed!
