Chapter 453 Palace Exam, First Deserved

When Xiao Hong heard the news, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she thought of two old friends beside her, and hurriedly straightened the corners of her mouth again, tight.

Master Su and Master Wang were shocked, and they rushed in front of the servant one after the other.

Master Su was the first to ask: "Is it released ahead of schedule today? Then have you seen the name of my family, Su Feng?"

Lord Wang also followed: "Can you see Wang Zhao's name?"

The servant nodded again and again: "I saw it! It's all on the list! Miss Su is fourth, and Miss Wang is fifteenth."

The two breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking of Xiao Yao's ranking, their faces were a little overwhelmed.

Su Feng, who has been praised by many people, actually only got the fourth place this time, only one place higher than Xiao Yao, a dude, and Wang Zhao was considered to have performed exceptionally, but he did not expect to lose to Xiao Yao because of his exceptional performance.

"That... Mr. Xiao, I have to go back to the manor first, and I will accompany you to drink with you another day."

"Mr. Xiao, I'll also say goodbye first, and we'll meet again another day."

The two left in a hurry, and all rushed back to their mansion.

When the people left, Xiao Hong laughed out loud.

Fifth place, hahaha, brat actually got fifth place! As expected of her Xiao Hong's daughter!

Nan Xun, who became a slave-in-law, was feeding Yinghan tonic soup in the house at this time, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard the noise outside.

"Miss!" The servant hurriedly came to announce the good news, "Miss, you are on the list, fifth place! Your Excellency tells you to go to the front hall immediately!"

Nan Xun was stunned for a moment, "Ah, no, the test is so good, the others are too bad, I think it's not bad for me to be in the 20th or 30th place in the test."

Xiaoba let out a loud roar, "Nan Xun, you're awesome, you deserve to be a Xueba Xun."

Nan Xun was complacent, and suddenly grinned at Yinghan, "Hanhan, isn't your wife and master amazing? You'll be fifth in any test."

Ying Han glanced at her, "I'd rather you do poorly in the test, so as not to be missed by some people."

"Yo, Hanhan is jealous. Do you want me to take out my heart and show it to you. It's full of you, and there's no room for a second person."

The words were so numb, the servants who were waiting by the side could not wait to indent themselves into the cracks in the ground.

Yinghan pushed away the bowl in Nan Xun's hand, and said with a look of disgust: "It's either a tonic or a tonic soup all day long. Do you and Dad want to make me a pig?"

Nan Xun said happily: "I like Han Han even if he becomes a pig."

Ying Han gave her a glance and sneered: "It's a good thing to say now, but when I'm really fat, I don't believe you still like it."

Nan Xun said with a serious face: "If Hanhan doesn't believe it, then I will eat a few more bowls of rice every day to get fat and fat with you, and we will cook pigs together."

"Bah, who wants to be a pig with you, Xiao Yao, do you want a face?"

"Hey, isn't my face all yours?"

Servant: Ouch, I can't do it anymore, goosebumps are all over the place.

"Miss, that... Your lord is still waiting for you, look at this..."

Yinghan pushed her, "Don't hurry, mother is still waiting, I have Le Shi to take care of me."

When everyone finally got out, Le Shi jumped in, watching Ying Han hesitated.

Yinghan glanced at him, "If you have something to say, say it."

"Master, are you really like this? Be Xiao Yao's husband at ease and give birth to Xiao Yao's children?"

The corners of Yinghan's mouth twitched slightly, "Yes, isn't this good?"

Le Shi looked at his softened eyes, and suddenly felt that this life is much better than the extravagant life of a prince and a grandson. In fact, as long as the prince is happy, it's fine, even if he didn't fulfill his father's dying wish.

"No matter what the son decides, Le Shi will support the son." Le Shi's tone was firm.

Yinghan looked at him and suddenly said: "Le Shi, if you have a sweetheart, remember to tell me, and I will make the decision for you."

When Le Shi heard this, his head suddenly turned into a rattle, "No! Le Shi will serve the son all his life! Le Shi will never leave the son half a step!"

Yinghan subconsciously touched his stomach, his eyes drooped slightly, and the breath around his body calmed down, "Don't you want to find a woman like Xiao Yao who hurts people? Le Shi, your martial arts skills are not as good as mine, I use Not for your protection."

Le Shi shook his head resolutely, "You might as well just kill me if your son drives me away."

Yinghan:  …

After the meeting, there is the palace test.

A total of 200 people were admitted to the general examination, and 200 tributes took part in the palace examination ten days later. The emperor himself gave the examination questions, and only one question was asked. The examination lasted for one day. Mark the papers together, and evaluate A, B, C, and D respectively.

The palace exam is very strict. In order to prevent the judges from cheating for personal gain, the candidates' names and origins are all folded, covered with white paper and sealed, and finally stamped with a seal. The seal cannot be opened until it is finally presented to the emperor.

Inside the imperial study.

Several judges who were entrusted with important tasks presented the thick stacks of test papers.

"Reporting to the emperor, the Wei ministers have been ranked according to the number of the first-class columns, please take a look at the emperor."

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would not review them one by one. She would only look at the top ten test papers and make slight adjustments according to her own preferences, but the adjustment was not large.

The emperor glanced at it and said, "Let's Kaifeng."

The judges opened the test papers, and several people sorted the test papers in front of the emperor. One person ranked the top 20 and handed them over.

The emperor read it carefully. At first, her expression was light. It was not until she saw the third test paper that her eyebrows raised slightly. She glanced at the candidate's name and place of origin, "Xiao Yao?"

When several judges heard the name, they were slightly startled.

Wouldn't it be Lord Xiao's daughter again? They were taken aback when the results of the exam came out.

The emperor looked at the expressions of several people, and immediately saw a little tricky, "What do you want to say?"

"Reporting to the emperor, if it is the birthplace of the imperial city, this Xiao Yao is probably the daughter of Xiao Fu Yin, but Wei Chen heard that this Xiao Yao was inexperienced before, and only started to work hard in recent years. With such knowledge, it is amazing."

This sounded like a compliment to Xiao Yao, but it actually caused everyone to suspect that Xiao Yao might have cheated.

Another upright judge was a little displeased. "Master Zhao is questioning that the test questions have been leaked? Who dares to leak the questions that the emperor himself made?"

The emperor frowned, glanced at the rating column, and asked: "Among the five Aiqings, three were given to A, one was given to A, and one was given to B. I don't know which one was given to B. Which Aiqing is that?"

Before that Master Zhao's eyes flashed, he bowed and replied: "Back to the emperor, it's Wei Chen, Xiao Yao's answer in the last question of reform proposal is arrogant and unrestrained, the strategy he gave is really not in line with the national conditions, so Wei Chen gave it to him. B."

The emperor paused for a while, and then asked, "How many times did this person take the test?"

Another official said: "Back to the emperor, Xiao Yao will try the fifth place. She is very good at quizzing and quizzing, she won four A, but the poetry is a little mediocre, and several judges gave it to B Down."

The emperor froze for a moment, then laughed. Poetry and other things are so important, of course, that the emperor will never admit that her own poetry is also mediocre.

"Master Xiao is very good at teaching his son. This Xiao Yao is very fond of me. There is nothing wrong with being young and arrogant. I think the answer to this question of reform and suggestions is very good, and I deserve the first place this time!"

Several people were stunned.

Is the emperor going to appoint Xiao Yao as the champion?
