Chapter 549 The King's Front (6)

The emperor thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you have a reputation?"

"No." Nangong Yue replied, "Brother only picked up the six arts of a gentleman a few months ago."

The emperor was surprised, "It's only been a few months?" He thought that the Nangong family's tutoring was so strict that even a child with a weak mind could be taught to such a degree.

Nangong Yue nodded calmly and said, "My brother was reciting "Early Learning" when he was injured, and after that, he has been reading "Early Learning"." It's a pity that even one "Early Learning" was taught for six years at that time. , "It wasn't until a few days ago that Dad started teaching him the "Book of Songs" and "Mencius" again."

The emperor couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really a smart child."

Nangong Yue almost couldn't hold back her tears. When her brother was injured, she was young and didn't have a deep memory. This was the first time she heard someone praise her brother for being smart. She bowed her knees and said gratefully, "Thank the emperor for your praise."

Nangong Xin also saluted her and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"In this case, I will give Brother Xin a favor." The emperor thought about it for a while and said, "Let him participate in this year's Tongsheng test."

The Dayu Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties. Before the county exam, there will be a Tongsheng test, which is regarded as a threshold for screening students. Only after passing the Tongsheng test can you be considered to have the qualification to participate in the imperial examination. It can be said to be a very important part. . The registration for the Tongsheng exam is usually carried out by the prefect yamen where the household registration is located one year before the exam. Nangong Xin has already missed this exam, and the next one will be three years later. Now that the emperor gave such a grace, Nangong Yue was overjoyed.

Nangong Yue doesn't care whether Nangong Xin can pass the test, at least with the grace of the emperor, in the eyes of outsiders, Nangong Xin will no longer be a "fool".

She pulled Nangong Xin and saluted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Brother Xin is a good boy." The emperor said with a smile on his face, "You have to take the exam well. If you pass the childbirth exam, I will definitely reward you." After speaking, he couldn't wait to share with Yong Yang. , "Little aunt, come and take a look at this painting."

Yong Yang came to the emperor, and at first he was careless, but at first glance, he couldn't help being stunned.

"This was presented to me by the imperial censor in the early dynasty." The emperor said with a smile, "After letting Brother Xin change it, the mood has changed a lot. It's really wonderful."

"It's really good." Yong Yang nodded and said, "However, the matter of Huaibei cannot be ignored. Although the bandits have been suppressed, the refugees cannot be appeased overnight. The emperor should be careful not to allow these refugees to be used."

"I understand." The emperor said solemnly, "I want the eldest prince to go to Huaibei."

"The emperor decides for himself." Yong Yang had been away from the court for a long time, so he just said a few words.

The emperor wanted to say more. At this time, he saw several young girls walking towards us. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Those children can't wait any longer when they see that we haven't passed yet."

Just as they were talking, they had come closer and saluted the emperor and Yong Yang one after another, while Xiao Yi winked at her openly.

Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, not sure if she was afraid of her restraint. The people who came were people she knew. Except for Xiao Yi, they were all descendants of the clan. There are Fu Yunhe from Fu Mansion, Yuan Yuyi and Yuan Lingbai from the Mansion of the Long Princess of Yuncheng, and Han Huaijun and Han Qixia from Prince Qi Mansion.

After greeting the emperor and the eldest princess Yongyang, the emperor said casually, "It's all his own children, so you don't need to be restrained. I also came out to relax, you can play by yourself."
