Chapter 150: No. 1 Dragon and Phoenix List in History
Chapter 150: No. 1 Dragon and Phoenix List in History
Tu Shanjin didn't expect that she had prepared a carriage, so he didn't hesitate and jumped on it.
[This woman has a conscience! I'm so sleepy, I'll take a nap first!]
Then, everyone raised their whips and headed towards the city gate.
The next day, Long Xianxian opened her eyes and saw herself in her mother's arms.
He rubbed against his mother happily.
[When did I come back? Mother, are you awake? I'm telling you, I ate a lot of melons in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you want to hear it?]
Long Xianxian screamed a few times, but the queen was sleeping soundly and was disturbed, so she simply picked up her daughter and stuffed her into her arms.
Long Xianxian turned into the queen's little pillow and buried herself in her mother's chest.
[Wow, even though my mother's embrace is so warm, I'm almost suffocating!]
Long Xianxian couldn't even scream, so she got so angry that she kicked the emperor in the face.
[Father, please save me! I can’t breathe!]
The emperor was kicked awake, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard his daughter's voice.
He quickly pulled Long Xianxian out of the queen's arms.
The Queen muttered, "Don't take my daughter away from me!"
As the queen spoke, she waved her hand and hit the emperor in the face.
The emperor's face suddenly turned dark.
When he woke up early in the morning, he was first kicked by his daughter and then beaten by his wife. Is there any emperor as unlucky as him?
The queen seemed to realize something and quickly opened her eyes.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
She looked at the red mark on the emperor's face with a guilty conscience, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I... I had a nightmare. I dreamed that Xianxian was kidnapped. I was so scared!"
Long Xianxian waved her hands and screamed.
[Mother, mother, Xianxian hasn't been kidnapped. Mother has always been here!]
Long Xianxian was busy comforting her mother, who must have been frightened by the nightmare.
The emperor was speechless!
Then, Godley came over and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to attend the morning court!"
The emperor did not blame the queen and got up to wash up.
After cleaning up, the emperor picked up Long Xianxian and went to attend the morning court.
The hall is particularly lively today.
"Master Lin is amazing! All five of your daughters are on the list. Congratulations!"
"All the nobles who came out of the palace some time ago are on the list!"
"Have you seen the number one on the gold list? I heard a lot of people went to see him late last night."
"I'm more optimistic about the Yun family's father and son. All three of them are on the list, and their rankings are quite high."
……
Some are happy, some are sad.
For example, the prime minister and the grand tutor.
Fang Bowen didn't even make it to the gold list, which made them feel a little upset.
Although the little princess said that Fang Bowen would definitely become the top scholar in the future, the two of them could not join in the fun today.
There were also the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince, both of whom limped in with a look of heavy concerns.
When they met the third prince and the fifth prince, they both laughed when they saw the way they walked.
The Third Prince: "Second Brother, you have made great contributions in this civil service examination. Why, Second Brother, are you unhappy?"
The second prince was still depressed at this moment. He never expected that the dual cultivation that Xu Qingfeng mentioned would be this method. He suddenly regretted going to find him yesterday.
As a result, when he woke up in the morning, this guy was afraid that he would find trouble, so he left a letter saying that he would perform a ritual and go into seclusion for three days, and then went into hiding.
He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger!
The Second Prince: "What a joy!"
With that, the second prince limped back to his seat.
The Third Prince ate some melon seeds and said, "It seems that the Imperial Preceptor made Second Prince angry last night!"
The Fifth Prince: "Oh, that's right. The Imperial Preceptor didn't come to court today."
The Fourth Prince did not speak. The Fifth Prince looked at the Fourth Prince and saw that he also looked listless.
The Fifth Prince: "Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you? You look very unhappy."
The Fourth Prince was very angry when he remembered that Hua Rong had disappeared when he woke up in the morning.
I said I would see her off today, but she left quietly in the middle of the night!
I was afraid that he would really follow me.
The Fourth Prince snorted coldly, "I'm not unhappy at all. That woman is not worthy of me..."
Halfway through his speech, the Fourth Prince stopped talking and limped back to his seat.
The third prince and the fifth prince looked at each other.
"It seems that the second and fourth brothers played quite intensely last night."
The Fifth Prince: "I'm so envious. Why doesn't Jiayi let me touch her? Why? Look at you all, you're not even married yet..."
The Third Prince: "Stop, I married my wife first!"
At this moment, the seventh prince also arrived.
He is now very active in attending court. When he comes over, he sees the third prince and the fifth prince at the door.
"Third brother, fifth brother, why don't you go in?"
The Third Prince: "Why is the Seventh Prince also here to attend the court?"
The Seventh Prince chuckled and said, "My wife is ranked second on the gold list. From now on, we will serve in the same court. This prince must perform well!"
The Fifth Prince: "So angry!"
Then, the fifth prince also took his position.
The Seventh Prince was stunned: "What is he angry about?"
The Third Prince: "Ignore him. He hasn't seen his wife since the Lotus Banquet!"
The Seventh Prince: "Oh, how miserable the Fifth Brother is!"
At this moment, someone outside shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!"
All the ministers stood up quickly and shouted "Long live the emperor" three times.
The emperor carried Long Xianxian to the dragon throne and asked all the ministers to stand up.
Gao Deli: "If you have something to report, please come forward. If not, please leave the court!"
The Second Prince was the first to speak up: "Your Majesty, the names of the candidates for this civil service examination have been released. There are a total of 300 candidates on the list, including 189 men and 111 women."
No one expected that so many candidates would pass the exam. This is truly a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!
Grand Tutor: "Your Majesty, I have taken a look at some of this year's examination papers. This year's candidates are quite a few talented people."
Prime Minister: "This is truly a blessing for me, Your Majesty. This year's imperial examination is a rare success!"
The Imperial Censor wrote: "In the thirteenth year of Emperor Yongjing's reign, both men and women took the imperial examinations. Three hundred men and women made it onto the gold list, many of them outstanding writers with unprecedented literary talent. This is the first list of outstanding figures in history."
The emperor was delighted and said, "Good, good! These are all the pillars of our country. Tomorrow morning, I will have the top fifty scholars take the palace examination. The rest will be examined by the Ministry of Personnel and appointed to positions within the court based on their abilities."
The Minister of Personnel stood up and said, "Yes, I obey your command!"
Long Xianxian felt bored listening to them talking about the palace examination, so she started to dig up some melon fields in the court.
But unexpectedly, someone suddenly fell down.
"Minister of War, you...what's wrong with you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over.
Emperor: "Imperial Physician, go and take a look!"
Then, the imperial physician rushed over to check.
Long Xianxian looked at the Minister of War lying on the ground and laughed.
[Hahaha, how come this Minister of War is still so unlucky? I'm dying of laughter. He was actually knocked unconscious by the Prince of Zhennan's fart. Hahahaha...]
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the Prince of Zhennan who was standing in front of the Minister of War.
The dark face of Prince Zhennan suddenly turned red and warm!
