Seeing Gong Huiyu's reaction, Li Chen saw through it but chose not to mention it. He didn't pursue the matter further in his heart.

Looking at Li Chen turn and leave to begin handling official business, Gong Huiyu's cold eyes flashed a hint of barely perceptible displeasure, but she didn't say anything.

As for Wan Jiaojiao... she felt like the luckiest person alive, nothing could ever be better than this.

When dealing with women, especially someone like Gong Huiyu, never rush things.

Otherwise, it is easy to cause painstaking efforts to result in excessive force leading to the embarrassing situation of taking two steps back.

Li Chen has now taken this step, successfully disrupting Gong Huiyu's thoughts. Now, he needs to settle down, tease her a bit, and slow things down. Haste makes waste.

In Li Chen's view, his relationship with Gong Huiyu now was like that of a hunter and prey.

The hunter is eager to capture the prey, but the prey is extremely vigilant. One wrong move could result in it fleeing or even devouring the hunter. Therefore, haste makes waste.

Take care of things right in front of you first!

The next morning, when the people of the capital city went out, they found that the Imperial Road, which ran through the center of the city, had been swept clean. There were guards standing on either side, and flags were waving everywhere, making it appear solemn and dignified.

The common people didn't find it strange either, because everyone knew that today was the day of the palace examination.

Since the emperor fell ill and natural disasters have plagued the land year after year, the capital has not been this lively for a long time.

The imperial examination system was designed to allow the court to select talented individuals from across the country, and it served as the final test for countless aspiring scholars who had dedicated years, even decades, to their studies.

While the imperial examination as the final hurdle of the civil service examination, it is a momentous occasion for both the court and the scholars.

At this time, the scholars who had been studying in Beijing set off fully prepared. Those who were not qualified to take the imperial examination watched from both sides of the imperial avenue as those who were about to enter the imperial examination passed by.

And this is also the only chance in most people's lifetime to openly and honestly set foot on the path of immortality.

As for those who were qualified to take the palace examination and had been preparing for half a year, they walked towards the imperial palace, with heads held high and chests puffed out, under the escort of guards and amidst the envious gazes of countless citizens of the capital. Their hearts brimmed with excitement as they journeyed along the Imperial Road to the Taihe Hall.

Outside the Palace of Supreme Harmony, Sanzang personally held a fly whisk and whipped it nine times. With his internal force, he activated his throat, and his sharp voice carried hundreds of meters outside the palace walls, clearly reaching every student's ears.

"Inheriting the wisdom of our ancestors, carrying forward the virtues of ancient times, following the way of Yao and Shun, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. We receive the protection of Heaven and bless all people, connect with the primordial chaos to guide all beings, bringing blessings to our great Qin, and ensuring its eternal prosperity!"

In the twenty-first year of Emperor Taizong's reign, the Imperial Examinations were reinstated. These exams sought to select talented individuals from across the land, bringing them into the imperial court to serve the nation, benefit the people, secure the stability of our dynasty and its foundations, and solidify the might of the Great Qin!

After these two sentences, the hundreds of guards present simultaneously shouted: "Long live!"

"Huzzah!"

"Mighty!"

The voices roared like a tsunami.

A strong wind was blowing in from the north at this moment. On the palace walls, flags fluttered and whipped in the breeze.

A ray of morning light shone upon the plaque above the Taihe Palace gate, radiating down the imperial path and illuminating the entire square paved with white marble.

This scene, no matter who sees it, can't help but be excited.

With a creak, the main gate of the palace swung open. Today it was the main gate, which had only ever been used by the Emperor, Empress, and Dowager Empress. Today, however, it was opened for all the scholars of the land.
