Today is the palace examination.
The Yulin Army, dressed in armor, lined up in two arrays in front of the Imperial Palace Gate, the white pheasant tails on their helmets swaying in the wind.
The examinees were lined up outside the Imperial Palace Gate, being searched one by one by the Jiefan Guard.
They had changed into green official uniforms and black soled boots, looking no different from the Daning officials, except for the lack of official rank emblems on their chests.
Qi Zhenzhuo glanced around and then turned his head to Li Xuan: "I just saw Zhang Zheng stop you in front of the Governor Mansion. What did he say? Will my mentor appear today?"
Li Xuan looked straight ahead and did not answer.
Qi Zhenzhuo smirked: "Fine, fine, you don't trust me, right?"
Feeling bored, he gazed at the examinees, seeing Shen Ye standing in the very front yawning.
Qi Zhenzhuo teased: "Didn't Brother Shen boast about winning first place? Why so listless?"
