Chapter 1 Women Disguised as Men to Take the Imperial Examinations (1)
Tianyu Dynasty, Huaijing City.
Huaijing City is the capital of the Tianyu Dynasty, and everyone seems to be more accustomed to calling it Kyoto.
In Kyoto, on a not very busy street, there is an inn called Nanli Inn.
Because it is clean and hygienic, and the price is reasonable, many students who go to Beijing to take exams choose to live here.
Tonight, every room in Nanli Inn is brightly lit.
Tomorrow is the triennial examination of the Tianyu Dynasty. Countless students have studied hard for more than ten years in a cold window, just to show their talents tomorrow and live up to the ten years of hard study.
In one of the ordinary guest rooms, a girl disguised as a man was sitting at the desk, diligently reading the book in her hand.
After reading the entire book, she found that the talent in her body had increased. Although it was not much, she was very happy in her heart.
After coming to this world, she discovered that as long as she read books, she would gather talents in her body.
When she first found out, she was ecstatic.
Only later did I discover that the scholars in this world can condense talents within their bodies. This talent can warm and nourish the body. The talents of great scholars can soar to the sky, and they can even defeat millions of armies with a single word.
Talents in this world are divided into ten levels, with the first level being the highest and the upper level being the lowest. The talent in her body now is not even the upper level.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-"
Just when she was thinking about when she could get the product, there was a sudden knock on the door in the quiet room.
The girl got up and opened the door.
An older boy outside the door held a basin of hot water in his hand and said, "Master, it's late at night. You should wash up and rest early. You have to take the imperial examination tomorrow."
With that said, he handed the hot water in his hand to the young man in the room.
The girl in the room took the water and nodded: "Okay, Zhongqing, you should go to bed early."
The young man named Zhong Qing nodded and closed the door.
But he did not go back to his room and stood guard at the girl's door.
He had a serious face and stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was the most loyal guard in the world.
The girl in the room also started to wash up, and she took off her outer clothes one by one, until only one inner layer was left.
But you can also vaguely see her chest wrapped in a layer of white cloth.
The girl pulled off the scarf that wrapped her hair on her head, and her beautiful black hair fell down like a waterfall.
If someone were present, they would definitely exclaim: What kind of comely young man is this? He is clearly a pretty young lady.
Jiang Zhao looked at his reflection in the water, his mind a little dazed.
I have traveled to this world for so many years, but I still feel a little uncomfortable with this face.
This face is beautiful, very beautiful!
Otherwise, she would not be able to attract the attention of the current emperor's uncle, Prince Rui, and heaven and earth would capture her and take her back as a concubine.
That day, she only met Prince Rui from afar on the street. Prince Rui was sitting in a carriage aloof, while she and Zhong Qing were walking among the crowd. They were all dressed as ordinary people and didn't pay much attention to them.
But King Rui opened the curtain and was attracted by her face at a glance.
That afternoon, before she and Zhong Qing arrived home, the matchmaker sent by King Rui had already arrived at her home.
The matchmaker praised Prince Rui so much, and said that as long as she married into Prince Rui's palace, she would enjoy endless glory and wealth. This was a marriage that many women could not ask for. It was her blessing to be favored by Prince Rui.
A lot was said.
Before the matchmaker could finish speaking, Jiang Zhao asked Zhong Qing to kick her out.
When she traveled through time, both her parents were dead, so she made the decision on her own marriage. She didn't want to marry that bad old man, King Rui.
However, if her parents were still alive, based on the character of her parents in her memory, they would not let her marry an old man in his sixties and older than her father as a concubine.
After all, her family is from a scholarly family, and her ancestors also served as officials. Although it has declined now, the arrogance it should have has not fallen away. Even if the other party is a prince.
But when the bad old man of King Rui learned that she had rejected the marriage and kicked the matchmaker out, he sent troops to surround her family and wanted to take her back to be his concubine.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhao looked at the face printed in the water and sighed. She didn't expect that traveling through time would allow her to experience the feeling of beauty being a disaster.
Think about that day, the officers and soldiers surrounded her home.
Fortunately, Zhong Qing was beside her. Although his martial arts was not at the top level, he was very skilled in martial arts and was able to break through the siege.
The martial arts in this world are also divided into ten levels, with the first level being the highest level and the lowest level being the lowest level.
However, it is extremely difficult to reach the first-class level. Some warriors may not be able to reach the first-class level after practicing for a lifetime.
This was also thanks to the fact that King Rui felt that it would be easy to catch her with a weak woman and a servant in her family, so he did not send any cultivators here.
Zhongqing was originally the child of a slave in her family. He was considered a domestic son. His name was Wei Xiang and his courtesy name was Zhongqing.
When Jiang's father was still alive, he saw that he liked the art of war and was good at practicing martial arts, and he became interested in talents, so he passed on to him a cultivation method "Xunjin Jue" passed down from his family.
After the two escaped, King Rui still refused to give up and sent many pursuers to capture them.
After the last fight, King Rui knew that Wei Xiang was also a martial arts practitioner, so this time he sent several high-ranking officials out to arrest him, including even an eighth-grade warrior.
The Jiang family is just a declining family and does not have many resources to provide Wei Xiang. Therefore, Wei Xiang has not been able to enter the first level after practicing for many years. Now he has to face several warriors who have already entered the first level, and even an eighth-level warrior.
I need to take her as a dragster with me.
Therefore, both of them escaped death several times.
Later, in order to get rid of King Rui's pursuers, Jiang Zhaonu disguised herself as a man, concealed her name, and wandered with Wei Xiang.
By accident, Jiang Zhao discovered that this world also had an imperial examination system.
Jiang Zhao thought that in his previous life, he was also a top student in language and literature, specializing in ancient literature.
If there is no study of Confucius and Mencius in this world, no poems of Li Bai and Du Fu, why don’t you take the imperial examination?
If you go to high school and are recognized by the imperial court and the Holy Academy, your talents will skyrocket.
I have the ability to protect myself and don't have to hide all day long.
She has five thousand years of Chinese history in her mind. In addition, she is still studying classics in this world, and she has the confidence to participate in the imperial examination.
She has always been a person of action, and she will do something immediately when she thinks of it.
He went through all the tests, from being a child to a scholar, to being a high school scholar, and then to ranking first in the provincial examination.
Tomorrow is the examination. After taking the examination, you can take the palace examination. The palace examination will be presided over by the emperor himself. Once you pass the examination, you will be the disciple of the emperor.
But it’s too early to think about this now, so let’s prepare for tomorrow’s test.
Jiang Zhao thought about it and went to bed early after washing up.
