Chapter 461 Zhao Houyang Passes the Examination

Seeing that his aunt and the others had so casually chosen a surname for his cousin, the prince couldn't help but remind him, "Just having your cousin agree is probably useless. Changing your surname to Fan means you'll be included in the Fan family tree, and the Fan family probably won't agree so easily.

The most important thing is that my uncle is also an earl. Earl! How many nobles in Yuanjing have worked hard for generations but still can't get one. "

Zhao Houyang was just joking when he said he wanted a title. Compared to his previous life, in this life his mother was the eldest princess, and he had everything he wanted in terms of wealth and glory. He was quite content.

So when he heard his cousin the Crown Prince say this, he expressed his position seriously: "I don't care. I don't need the title. I can earn it myself when the time comes. If I can't earn it, I can let my son earn it."

Fan Yong made a powerful gesture toward Zhao Houyang, his expression practically declaring, "You're worthy of being my son." But Fan Yong thought for a moment and said truthfully, "I'll only give this title to Yang'er, even if he doesn't change his last name. Since he calls me dad, he's my son."

What's more, there is only one title, but I have several brothers and even more nephews. Anyone who is given the title and not given the title will be beaten into a pig's brain.

Rest assured, son. I'll take care of this for you. This earl also wants to establish a heir. I'll submit a memorial to establish a heir tomorrow. Once the emperor approves, they'll beg to have my son included in the family tree.

Of course, it would be even better if I didn't join. Then I wouldn't have to worry about those troubles anymore."

It wasn't that Fan Yong didn't repay his parents for raising him. Although he had contributed greatly to this title, he still felt that this title bestowed by the royal family wasn't meant for the Fan family. It was more like it was meant for the eldest princess's child.

After all, there are many people who have made contributions among the secret guards, and there is a regular commander above him, but he has not seen anyone being conferred a title.

Of course, Fan Yong really loves Zhao Houyang, and he is willing to give it to him.

Even Yang Chengchen had to say that his uncle's idea was brilliant. He was a little envious of his father. When his father was on the throne, there were all kinds of talents. It was estimated that when he succeeded to the throne, these talents would probably retire. It was heartbreaking!

"Hehe, I knew it, Dad is still good to me." Zhao Houyang quickly acted like a spoiled child, since his father had told him so. He was not the kind of person who was hypocritical.

Zhao Houming was also happy for his brother. This was what he deserved. He felt the same way as his mother did, that sincerity was rewarded with sincerity. He didn't want to have a real father who was oppressing him, so he wouldn't be so shameless as to try to take advantage of him.

So he raised his digestive tea and clinked it with Zhao Houyang's cup sincerely: "From now on, Second Brother will rely on our Third Brother to take care of him."

Zhao Houyang was very happy to see the sincerity in his second brother's eyes, and immediately followed his joke and said, "Sure, sure."

If anyone in the room was unhappy, it was Zhao Houjing. But he also knew that his usual attitude towards Fan Yong could barely be considered non-interference.

So even if I don't give this title to my third brother, it won't be a bargain for him. I figured it out, but I feel a little regretful. I should have known it earlier.

At this point, the matter was done and Zhao Houjing could only drink a few more sips of digestive tea and regret it.

Fan Yong was an impatient person. He did what he was told to do and submitted a memorial to the emperor the next day.

The emperor had already listened to the prince's gossip last night, so when Fan Yong's memorial was submitted the next day, it was immediately placed in front of his dragon desk.

The emperor is also a person who likes to watch the fun. Since he inherited the throne, he has basically stayed in the palace. If he doesn't have any hobbies, he will not be able to survive.

So, just to watch the fun, he approved the memorial immediately, but he did not immediately ask someone to draft an imperial edict. He planned to wait until Zhao Houyang's Tongsheng exam results came out.

If he could be on the list, it would be even more convincing. No one could shake Zhao Houyang's position as the crown prince. This person was the reserve talent for the future weapons of Jing State, and it would be more conspicuous if he could have a title of nobility.

If there was any reward in the future, everyone would just think that the eldest princess and her husband were paving the way for the youngest son. Since he was the youngest son, it was only natural that he should be loved more. After all, no matter how good the eldest princess's title was, it could not be inherited.

Although the emperor thought so, he was particularly happy when he thought about the excitement that was about to come. Even when the prince gave him a few more memorials, he just glanced at the prince and read the memorials silently.

Days filled with anticipation pass especially slowly, not only for Zhao Houyang and the others, but also for the emperor who wants to watch the fun.

The emperor had completely forgotten that he had a son who had also taken the Tongsheng exam this year. He was now eager to see how the Fan family would riot.

Regardless of how fast or slow the time passed, the day of the results announcement had finally arrived. Fan Yong still took a leave of absence and stayed home with Zhao Lingmeng and the others, waiting for the servants to come and see the results.

Chunshui went to the place where the results were announced at dawn and waited there. As soon as the list was posted, she immediately looked for the names of Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen on it.

Originally, Chunshui had been so confident in her young master and Prince Ruihe that she had started from the top of the list. However, she never saw any names, and she became increasingly panicked.

Fortunately, I saw the names of two people in the last thirty. Zhao Houyang was ranked 76th and Yang Chengchen was ranked 80th, very close to each other.

Chunshui checked it again and again, and when he was sure it was correct, he immediately rode back.

At this moment, all the masters of the Princess's residence were drinking tea in the front courtyard, even Yang Chengchen was there. This was mainly because Yang Chengchen was there to take the exam because he was a relative of the Princess. They were drinking tea, but everyone was looking towards the main gate, intentionally or unintentionally.

As soon as Chunshui arrived at the Princess's Mansion, he dismounted quickly, handed the horse and whip to the doorman, and headed straight for where Zhao Lingmeng and the others were.

Even from a distance, Chunshui started shouting: "Your Highness is very happy!"

The first person to hear it was Fan Yong. He was a real martial arts expert, so he could hear farther than the others. He looked in the direction of the person coming and explained with a smile, "Chun Shui is back."

As soon as Fan Yong said this, Zhao Lingmeng and the others immediately looked over. Zhao Lingmeng couldn't help but mutter, "Where is it?"

The two parties involved, Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen, couldn't help but stand up.

Seeing them like this, Fan Yong couldn't help but explain, "It should be good news."

If we were to name the most worried person here, it would be Zhao Lingmeng. She couldn't wait to ask, "Really?"

Fan Yong only heard the word "great joy" and didn't dare to say more. He just smiled mysteriously at Zhao Lingmeng.

While Zhao Lingmeng was chatting with Fan Yong, Chunshui had already arrived.

As soon as Chunshui arrived, he immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. The Third Young Master and Prince Ruihe both passed the exam. The Third Young Master ranked 76th, and Prince Ruihe ranked 80th."

Upon hearing this, the attendants immediately knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations to the Prince Consort, congratulations to Prince Ruihe, and congratulations to the Third Young Master."
