After the results of the Spring Examination were announced, the capital city was extremely lively.

Those who passed the imperial examination cried with joy.

Some students who failed the exam fainted on the spot.

All the different aspects of life are reflected in the gold list at this moment.

The successful Jinshi candidates still need to take the palace examination. Xie Zhiluo was in charge of the spring examination, and the emperor also asked Xie Zhiluo to select the candidates for this palace examination. The ministers felt a little subtle when they saw that the emperor valued the prince so much.

Throughout the dynasties, there have been many cases of love and hatred between the old emperors and the princes, but this is the first time I have seen an emperor train a prince in this way.

Xie Zhiluo did not disappoint the emperor. One of the questions in the palace examination was about the benefits of building a railway.

Another is the situation in people's livelihood.

As the future emperor, Xie Zhiluo must consider the people's livelihood. No matter how prosperous the capital is now, there are still people who freeze to death on the streets while the rich live in luxury.

There are still poor people in Xicheng District of Beijing who have no access to electricity. Even if the busy streets are brightly lit and the night is as bright as day, Xicheng District is still pitch black.

If this is the case in the capital, let alone other places.

Yan Bao also wanted to see what the palace selection was like. She acted coquettishly towards Xie Zhiluo, "I haven't even seen the palace selection yet. I don't know if I'll ever see it in person in this lifetime!"

She even said the word "others", and she didn't believe he had the heart to refuse.

Xie Zhiluo was embarrassed: "That's the main hall. It's not appropriate for a woman like you to go there."

Yan Bao pointed at his finger, looking pitiful and aggrieved: "I'm not going to cause any trouble. What's wrong? It won't hurt me to take a look!"

Xie Zhiluo's handsome face was in a state of confusion. Yan Bao blinked and looked up at him. Knowing what he was worried about, he suggested, "I'm not going to go and watch the fun so openly. Can't I just pretend to be a eunuch?"

Xie Zhiluo's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Yan Bao achieved his goal and stood on tiptoe to give him a kiss on the face.

One kiss wouldn't work, so Xie Zhiluo held her face, covered her red lips, and kissed her until she felt dizzy before he stopped!

The emperor was also present on the day of the palace selection.

He was sitting on the dragon throne, and at first glance, he thought the young eunuch not far away was fair and pretty, with red lips, white teeth, and extremely eye-catching eyebrows, and looked like Yan Bao from the Shen family.

Unfortunately, this is a little eunuch!

The emperor thought so and couldn't help but take another look.

It doesn't matter if you take a look at it, the fair and tender little eunuch is Yan Bao, right?

emperor:"!!!"

Yan Bao was not afraid of being discovered. He even winked at the emperor with a dazzling smile on his face.

The emperor's eyes almost popped out as he looked at Yan Bao and then at Xie Zhiluo.

Xie Zhiluo gave the emperor a flattering smile.

The emperor glanced at Yan Bao angrily and waved his hand, asking Yan Bao to come over: "Why are you joining in the fun in the hall? Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

"I miss the emperor. Let's go to the palace to see the emperor's wise and mighty appearance, and his majestic appearance of ruling the country. If the emperor punishes Yan Bao, Yan Bao will have no complaints. After all, Yan Bao is curious about how the emperor attends court!" Yan Bao said flowerily and blinked his eyes.

emperor:"......"

Although I know you are lying to me, saying you came to see me, I am afraid you are here for these new scholars. I will not be fooled!

I thought so in my heart, but I said: "This won't happen again."

Yan Bao nodded happily.

Xie Zhiluo saw Yan Bao deal with the emperor and knew that the crisis was over, so he immediately turned his attention to the court.

It was almost time to select the new top scholar. Dozens of young candidates arrived to select the top three, as well as those who had passed the Jinshi examination and those who had the same Jinshi background. They could all directly enter the court as officials.

Yan Bao widened his eyes, looking at these scholars who had studied hard for ten years. They were of different ages, some were forty years old, and some were seventeen or eighteen years old. It was really not easy for them to reach this point at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

One of the handsome scholars caught Yan Bao's attention.

There is also a mature uncle who looks calm, reserved and very elegant.

There are also young scholars with youthful ambition.

When they arrived at the hall, they were all nervous and uneasy, not daring to look directly at each other. They all lowered their brows and eyes, waiting for Xie Zhiluo to speak.

Yan Bao looked at these unfamiliar faces, then at Xie Zhiluo, and couldn't help but mutter: "If Xie Zhiluo took the exam, he would definitely be the most handsome top scorer. This face would crush everyone."

Xie Zhiluo listened to Yan Bao's inner praise and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

[It seems that this year's Tanhua Lang will disappoint everyone. That handsome man is just a fellow Jinshi.]

Xie Zhiluo looked at the person Yan Bao was talking about. Is he handsome?

This prince thinks it is nothing special.

[And that young scholar, he was only a Jinshi by birth, so he's still a little short of the top three.]

Yan Bao, unaware that his thoughts were being overheard, commented on the people present in his mind, and the more he commented, the more excited he became.

It was not until Xie Zhiluo selected the top three that he realized that this year's third place winner was indeed average looking. If it weren't for the fact that that handsome fellow Jinshi was a little inferior, he would have really wanted to choose him as the third place winner.

Yan Bao looked at the top scholar, whose face was slightly better looking than an average person, and curled his lips: "This kid thought that becoming a top scholar would bring him the pinnacle of life. He abandoned his wife and daughter to marry a minister's daughter. It's obvious that he is a heartless person."

Xie Zhiluo knew that Yan Bao didn't like people who abandoned their wives and daughters, but unfortunately he had already chosen him as the third place winner. If he changed his mind now, he would lose all his prestige. Xie Zhiluo could only blame himself for his bad luck.

Yan Bao glanced at this year's top scholar and couldn't help laughing: [Oh my god, this top scholar is actually a henpecked husband. It turns out that Shu women are good at controlling their husbands. They are role models for our generation!]

Xie Zhiluo: “???”

Yan Bao, don't be too envious, you will also have a henpecked husband.

Yan Bao had no idea Xie Zhiluo was secretly showing his loyalty. Her gaze fell on the runner-up, and she narrowed her eyes: "Xie Zhiluo, you're really good at picking. You actually picked a spy as the runner-up. This guy is dishonest. He's a spy from Japan, and he's here for our Dajin railway and train blueprints."
