The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 369 The Scenery and the Moon
Many candidates who received the extra papers complained inwardly, wondering how they could finish them in six hours.

Perhaps it was because the format of the imperial examination was changed, and the number of questions was piled up in the palace examination.

There are 30 questions on practical subjects and 3 questions on policy essays, which are much more difficult than the palace examinations in previous years.

But for Liu Sheng, there is more than enough time.

She could recite the practical questions by heart.

The three policy essay questions were somewhat unexpected.

The first question is, as expected, related to theology, discussing the way of serving God.

The second question explores whether there is a slight connection between spiritual energy and strange energy.

The third question is about how to solve the threat at the Mobei border.

Liu Sheng originally thought that they were all related to the Supreme God, but that was not the case.

I always feel that the direction of the court is somewhat uncertain...

But Liu Sheng quickly put this thought aside and concentrated on answering the questions.

【On the way of serving God, it is the human heart...】

I simulated the first question thousands of times, and with the support of the world, of course I wrote it down like a god.

The second question was one that she was very familiar with. She had figured out some clues from the transformation array patterns, but it was not a good idea to throw them all out at this moment. However, it would be fine to answer the question by citing some of the principles of the transformation array patterns.

As for the third question...

I'm afraid it's related to the sudden outbreak of war yesterday, but there's no definite news yet, so I'll just write it as a hypothetical question.

I have searched through tens of thousands of articles in the library related to border threats, and combined them with some countermeasures deduced by the world based on the current situation, there should be no problem.

So Liu Sheng dipped the pen in ink and began to write the answer to the first question in the art subject on the draft paper.

After half a day, Liu Shenglian had finished the third question of the policy essay.

He put down the brush, rubbed his hands, and checked it carefully.

She didn't know that many people had just started writing their essays at this time. She put down her pen and sat upright in the hall. Even though she was sitting at the back, she looked particularly eye-catching.

The emperor took one look, smiled and nodded, saying, "It turned out to be her."

Everyone had some skills, so they could see the person sitting at the end at a glance, and they could also recognize the face that they had seen in the illusion all day.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention to Liu Sheng, a trace of worry flashed in Minister Li's eyes, and he quickly glanced at Wen Xuanning who was still writing furiously.

The topic was written by His Majesty himself, and I just received it today, so naturally I have no chance...

I hope Wen Xuanning is really as Liu Yuanzheng of Chang'an Academy said, a natural talent in technical subjects and policy essays.

……

Liu Sheng sat silently, looking at the manuscript in his hand to check whether the sentences were correct. At the same time, his mind was always in the new world, testing the aptitude and comprehension of the new children.

"You're not bad, you can pass."

"You are a genius! You can pass."

"You are also a natural talent. You can pass it."

It has to be said that the children trained in the Hall of Living Spirits are, at the very least, of superior aptitude and comprehension. If they were placed in the world of immortal cultivation, it would simply shock and drive all the immortal sects crazy.

Just as I was immersed in the thought of “pass, pass, pass”, a bright yellow color suddenly appeared in my eyes.

Liu Sheng quickly regained his composure, sat up straighter, and bowed respectfully.

The sleeve embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon soaring into the sea on the clouds brushed across the table and picked up her paper.

Although Liu Sheng was very confident in his answer, he also knew that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it was possible that the emperor did not like it.

I watched it for a long time.

"Ah."

He just said it softly, and then handed the test paper to the five examiners beside him.

The examiners circulated it one by one, but were careful not to say a word.

Liu Sheng wanted to look up to see his expression, but he didn't dare.

[It's a pity that we can't let the little tentacle come out to help us. 】

[Inside the palace, one must be cautious. ]

After passing it around, the bright yellow figure gently placed the test paper back on the desk.

Then he continued to inspect the examination room with the examiners.

……

At noon, palace servants in the hall thoughtfully delivered lunch to the candidates.

Otherwise you’ll faint from hunger during the exam.

There were six exquisite side dishes on the table, a combination of meat and vegetables, a bowl of rice, a pot of soup, and a refreshing osmanthus and snow pear soup.

Because they were all made in the imperial kitchen, they were not only exquisitely cooked, but also tasted extraordinary. Liu Sheng found every dish novel and delicious, and he had to say something unfilial: they tasted better than what his father made.

[However, what my father makes tastes like home. ]

While eating with a smile on her face, she was silently trying to save face for her father in her heart.

After eating and drinking, Liu Sheng began to carefully copy the answers from the draft onto the test paper, stroke by stroke.

As I was copying, my multi-threaded copying instinct was almost triggered, and my little tentacles almost started up subconsciously.

I silently pressed it into my wrist and continued transcribing.

……

Just after noon, Liu Sheng checked the test paper one last time, then stood up calmly, handed in the paper at the small door on the east side, and was the first to walk out of the examination room.

At this time, the emperor was no longer in the Ziwei Palace.

The examiners were not surprised to see Liu Sheng was the first to hand in her paper. After all, when they inspected the examination room just now, they saw that she had already completed three policy essays.

Mei Yuanzheng only whispered a word to the official beside him, and the official ran to the paper submission area, brought Liu Sheng's answer sheet to the front, and placed it in front of the examiners.

"Let's take a look at the exam paper of the top candidate first." Mei Yuanzheng said.

Minister Li nodded: "That makes sense."

Then the five examiners passed the paper around silently, wrote two words on the top of the paper, and placed the paper on the far left of the imperial desk.

Wen Xuanning, who was sitting in the front, had a full view of the examiners' actions and snorted in his heart.

As a former Prime Minister, how could he not know that this position was reserved for the first-class papers for the emperor to review, so that the emperor could rank them in the best order when the time came.

He stood up gracefully, his clothes moving, picked up the paper with the ink still wet, and went to hand it in.

……

Liu Sheng had just walked out of the door and not long after he stopped, he heard a clear young man's voice coming from behind him.

"You seem different."

Liu Sheng turned around and saw a handsome young man walking slowly out of the palace gate, looking at her with a smile.

But there was a sharp edge hidden in those gentle eyes.

She didn't smile back, but said coldly: "You are different too."

This was the first sentence the two of them had spoken face to face since Qinghe's meeting.

During the imperial examination, she killed him without even saying a word. Thinking about it now, she still felt a little embarrassed.

But now, after figuring out some things, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Would you like to have some tea?" Wen Xuanning asked.

The good-looking boy invited me calmly, and the scene was bright and beautiful.

"No."

However, Liu Sheng refused decisively.

Don't want to say a word more.

It was rare to hear a rejection, but Wen Xuanning's smile remained impeccable.

He wanted to say something else, but Chu Shudu, who had handed in his paper last, came out.

As if sensing some subtle atmosphere between the two of them, he couldn't help but take a couple of glances.

Then he nodded slightly to Liu Sheng.

Seems to recognize Liu Sheng.

Although Liu Sheng felt puzzled, he still returned the greeting. Then he left without even looking at Wen Xuanning.

He didn't pay attention to the increasingly cold gaze behind her.

[This kind of villain invites us to drink tea? I'm afraid he will poison the tea, right? ]

[Or he would stab himself while drinking tea and say that we were trying to kill him.]

[Or let the waiter stab us so that we can't take part in the palace examination. ]

[Or as soon as we enter the door, a basin of sulfuric acid will fall on our heads, leaving us disfigured and disabled...]

Liu Sheng quickly stopped his paranoid fantasies.

[Who said we are paranoid? Of the 108 ways to die I just mentioned, there will always be one that Wen Xuanning will choose.]

【We are the ones who foresee the future, plan everything out, and plan carefully. It is better to be safe than sorry. 】

It does sound reasonable.

I need to think about how to kill this brat.

At this moment, a pair of fragrant hands stretched out from the corner of the wall and pulled Liu Sheng into the alley.
