♂?，，

  Chen Yuanyi was taken aback: "Not having teeth is also not allowed? What kind of rule is this?"

  Yelü Deguang shook his head: "I don't know either, it's the rules set by our ancestors. I think, Brother Chen missing a tooth shouldn't be a problem, right?"

  Chen Yuan thought carefully for a moment, if he could really get rid of the princess, losing a tooth was nothing. It was much better than entering the palace anyway. He looked around in all directions at the moment.

  Yelü Nügu said with a curious tone: "Brother Chen, what are you looking for?"

  Chen Yuan said: "I'll find something to knock out one of my teeth."

  Yelü Niegulu smiled lightly: "No need to be so troublesome," As soon as the words were spoken, a fist flew towards Chen Yuan's mouth. The other party was an expert, and even if Chen Yuan wanted to dodge, he couldn't avoid it. His entire mouth immediately started bleeding, and a tooth fell out of his mouth.

  Chen Yuanguo didn't care about the pain, busily covering his mouth, and vaguely said: "Thanks!"

  The next day, all those who had been chosen to be companions of the crown prince gathered in front of a designated palace.

  Although it was a sea election, the team still lined up with as many as three or four hundred people. If it weren't for the princess saying that as long as she came, she would definitely let herself become an accompanying reader, Chen Yuan believed this wasn't going to be an easy exam.

  First of all, it was a physical examination. Yelü Nügu did not deceive Chen Yuan after all; those with disabilities were immediately eliminated, including those that were not obvious.

  Moreover, those with crooked noses and slanted eyes are also unacceptable. Accompanying the emperor's son to study, if they have an appearance that frightens people at first sight, wouldn't it be like inviting a scary person?

  After this elimination, there are not many people who can enter the imperial examination in the grand hall.

  In front of Chen Yuan was a big blockhead, from the black hair exposed on his back, it can be judged that he must be covered in hair all over, but the Liao people didn't care about these things. In the eyes of the Liao people, being hairy all over showed a kind of majesty.

  After waiting for a long time, the footsteps slowly moved forward, and Chen Yuan finally saw the face of the eunuch who was in charge of checking his body. He wasn't nervous at all now, because he didn't want to be the crown prince's reader anyway.

  "What's wrong with your body? If you have any problems, speak up now. If we find out later, you'll never be an official." The eunuch asked the third person in front of Chen Yuan.

  "That man said: 'Sir, I'm missing a molar, it shouldn't be a problem, should it?'"

  The eunuch raised his head: "Open your mouth, let me take a look."

  The man opened his mouth and the eunuch inserted his fingers into the man's mouth, circling around his gums before saying: "No good, go back!"

  That man's expression was very sorrowful: "Sir, sir! It's just a rotten tooth, don't be like this?"

  Everyone who comes here is a Han Chinese from Liao. Although Emperor Xingzong of Liao used many Han people in the government, for these Hans living under the iron hooves of the Khitan people, the position of Donggong Peidu was the best shortcut.

  But the old man did not heed his plea. He wiped his fingers on his clothes casually: "Next."

  In front of Chen Yuan, the eunuch asked: "What's wrong with you? If you go in and the princess sees it, your future will be ruined."

  The big guy said in a low voice: "Dad, I just have hemorrhoids, but it's almost healed!"

  The eunuch furrowed his brow: "Take off your pants and crawl over here so I can take a look."

  The big guy hesitated: "Sir, there are many people here, or..."

  The eunuch flew into a rage: "There aren't any women around, what's there to be afraid of? Take it off!"

  The big guy took off his clothes and lay on the ground with his butt raised high.

  The eunuch then used his finger to lightly slide two circles on the big block's buttocks, and with a slight force, he pressed it down, instantly making the big block let out a mournful cry, and the whole person fell over.

  The eunuch coldly said: "Hmph, still want to deceive me? Unqualified, go back!"

  After finishing speaking, his eyes looked at Chen Yuan, and he wiped the finger that had just touched on his clothes: "Huh? Are you sick or not?"

  Chen Yuan stared at the eunuch's pointing finger and replied nervously: "Which aspect of the question is Your Excellency asking about?"

  Eunuch looked at the name list: "Chen Shimei? Can't understand what I'm saying? Is there a problem with your body? From head to toe, even small problems must be spoken out. If after entering, the princess finds out about the issue, don't blame me."

  Chen Yuan is now very conflicted, when he entered the door, he hoped to be eliminated with the reason of "missing teeth". But now, more than 200 people in front of him have been checked, all by this eunuch's one finger check.

  Check the soles with it, check the buttocks with it, and check the teeth with it!

  The big eunuch's black butt was still in Chen Yuan's mind, and he couldn't decide whether to go see the princess or let the eunuch spin his finger around his mouth. It was really a difficult choice.

  When the eunuch asked again, Chen Yu stared at the eunuch's finger and replied very calmly: "No problem, sir, I have no questions."

  In the end, the fear in front of him still made Chen Yuan choose to surrender. He would enter the palace, after all, he didn't plan on staying long anyway. At worst, he would just have to plan his escape more carefully later. It was better than letting this eunuch's finger touch his mouth.

  After passing the so-called physical examination, there is only the so-called language proficiency test left.

  Chen Yuan's first glance into the inner hall saw Yelü Lüjing sitting high up in a chair directly in front of him, with a victorious smile on his face.

  He took a few steps forward to ensure that Yelü could hear his voice clearly and see his expression, then he bowed with his fists: "Princess, I'm here."

  Yelü Lüjing stood up from the chair and slowly walked towards Chen Yuan.

  She is wearing a Khitan long gown today, which was originally made by the Song Dynasty's tailor who lived in Khitan and modified according to the style of the Song Dynasty's long gown on the basis of integrating the characteristics of the Khitan nationality.

  The hem is much shorter than that of Song Dynasty women, in order to facilitate the Khitan women's horse riding. Because it was short, Chen Yuan could see her leg shape wrapped in boots.

  Her calf should be plump, and from the proportion, the calf may be a little shorter, but it doesn't affect the appearance. If you make her wear a pair of high-heeled boots with an inner increase in height after a while, it will definitely make her figure look better.

  Yelü Lüjing's smile grew thicker: "I've already informed the authorities to release them, those fellows should be waiting at the inn now."

  Chen Yuan bowed again: "Thank you, Princess."

  Yelü Lüjing smiled: "This is the agreement between us, Chen Shimei, are you really willing to come to the East Palace to study with me?"

  Chen Yuan did not raise his head: "What does the princess mean by this?"

  Yelü Lüjing placed his hand on Chen Yuan's shoulder, slowly leaning his head towards Chen Yuan's ear, and spoke in a gentle tone, "My ninth brother said that if someone like this isn't truly devoted, they won't be sincere in their actions. I'm afraid of corrupting my younger brother. Tell me, what method can make me believe you're being genuine?"

  Chen Yuan did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "A humble person dares to ask, there is something, I fear that the princess will be angry if asked."

  Yelü Lüjie's hand exerted a slight force on his shoulder: "My ninth brother said that sometimes being reckless is a good thing, and it seems he was right. I haven't even finished asking my question, yet you have something to ask me? Alright, I'll let it slide."

  Chen Yuan asked gently: "May I ask, Princess, are you willing to marry that Li Yuanhao?"

  As soon as the words fell, Chen Yuan's shoulder suddenly transmitted a severe pain, and then the princess kicked him with one foot, kicking Chen Yuan to the ground: "Chen Shimei! Can my affairs also be inquired about?"

  Chen Yuan got up from the ground, raised her eyes and looked at Yelü Lüjing. She was very angry, but under her angry expression, there was inner unease, fear for the future, and more helplessness. Her performance was very intense, which showed that she was guilty, indicating that she had touched her sore spot.

  He smiled slightly: "The princess's affairs are none of my business, but as for my own affairs, the princess can make her own decisions."

  Yelü Lü was stunned for a moment, and Chen Yuan continued: "Actually, I should thank the princess."

  Yelü Lüjing came back to his senses and said coldly: "What are you thanking me for? Thanking me for being an official?"

  Chen Yuan shook his head: "Just a while ago, there was a difficult problem in my heart that had not been solved. From the time I arrived in Bianjing, no matter what I did, it was never done smoothly, and some troubles always came to interrupt, which made me very worried, and even blamed heaven and earth. Until yesterday, Princess gave orders to this humble one, and suddenly I understood."

  He paused here for a moment, and the princess asked curiously: "What did you understand?"

  Chen Yuanshao walked up to the princess, stopping three steps in front of her: "If we really have what we want, does our life still have meaning? The princess let me understand that the splendor of life lies in the constant surprises. When we do things we don't want to do very successfully, then we are successful."

  Yelü Lüjing was suddenly stunned, Chen Yuan's words deeply shocked her heart. She suddenly thought that Chen Shimei didn't want to enter the court as an official, and when did she really want to marry Li Yuankui? Life is indeed like this, always having to do things you don't want to do but can't avoid doing.

  Yelü Lüjing saw the change in Chen Yuan's eyes, his mouth moved slightly, and he wanted to reveal some of his thoughts, but the person in front of him was an outsider, a Song person after all.

  "After a while, she let out a long sigh: 'Let's go back.'"

  Chen Yuans heart was filled with joy, could it be that she would let him off so easily? Before he could even break into a smile, the princess continued: "After returning, stay in the guest house and dont go out randomly. In the afternoon, someone will come to pick you up and take you to the palace. From this afternoons onwards, accompany my younger brother in his studies."

  Chen Yuan felt a pang of disappointment, but could only accept this thing he didn't want to do: "Yes, I obey."

  Back at the inn, all the buddies really came back. When Chen Yuan was about to enter the door from afar, they ran out of the inn and lined up in two long queues, welcoming Chen Yuan into the inn like a hero.

  Borrowing a good mood from their smiling faces, Chen Yuan also smiled. Anyway, things aren't too bad yet, that's what Chen Yuan often says.

  Although it's a lot of trouble, the chances of completing the task have increased greatly. Most importantly, I feel that the most basic condition for feeling troubled is being alive, as long as you're alive, there will always be a way to solve the troubles.

  Pang Xi was most worried about the outcome of this trip. He pushed away the crowd and asked, "How is it?"

  Chen Yuan smiled: "Not bad! Everything is going smoothly, this afternoon I can enter the imperial palace to accompany the emperor in reading."

  He said it with a smile, but after he finished speaking, the entire hall suddenly fell silent. Hu Jing didn't know when she had already gently grasped his hand, and those partners were also one by one with tears in their eyes. Liu Tian choked twice: "Boss, it's all our fault."
