The emperor raised his hand.
The examinee knelt down and the ministers fell silent.
The emperor gently stroked Jun Baozhu's back. Li Quan'er was waiting at the side door and had asked his men to call the imperial physician.
Jun Baozhu finally recovered and smiled in her heart.
[Ahem, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made father worried! ]
[I just... it was so funny that I choked on my own saliva! ]
funny?
The ministers all widened their eyes, but they all lowered their heads, not daring to show it obviously.
But they all pricked up their ears.
[His nickname is so funny! ]
At the beginning, when there were many candidates taking the exam, the system focused on observing the candidates' cheating methods...
Therefore, at that time, not much attention was paid to other shortcomings of the candidates.
Seeing that his daughter's breathing was stable and she no longer coughed, the emperor finally felt relieved.
Jun Baozhu said the name that the system revealed...
【Zi Er...】
When Jun Baozhu heard these two words, she didn't react at that time...
When the system explained that "彘儿" means wild boar, Jun Baozhu was choked by his own saliva.
Sure enough, when Jun Baozhu finished explaining in his heart...
The scene was deathly silent.
The third candidate blushed and buried his head in his arms.
The ministers looked at the examinee's demeanor, his attire...
It is common for poor families to give their children cheap names to make it easier to raise them, as they are worried about not being able to raise them...
But seeing this candidate, the way he was dressed, and the demeanor he exuded...
It should be, coming from a family of scholars.
If this nickname wasn't the little princess' inner voice, it would be hard for anyone to hear it...
Apart from family members, no one else should know about it.
But now that so many people know about it...
At this time, Jun Baozhu's inner voice emerged again, as if he had guessed what the ministers were thinking.
[In fact, his family are all scholars...]
[If you also knew that he had such a nickname, you would definitely be curious...]
[Since you are a scholar, why did you choose such a nickname? Won't you be laughed at when you grow up? ]
The ministers below the steps raised their heads slightly, indeed curious.
[Because his nickname was given by his illiterate grandmother...]
[Although my grandmother is illiterate, she is still domineering and we must listen to her! ]
[I can only express my sympathy for him, wild boar? ]
After testing his mind, Jun Baozhu couldn't help laughing for a while, and then said:
[Forget it! I won’t laugh at you anymore! ]
[You can't change your nickname at will! ]
Seeing that Jun Baozhu stopped talking, the prince stepped out and read out the format and requirements of the palace examination.
The emperor lowered his eyes and saw that the examinee had calmed down from his initial blushing face...
I think it's good that Baozhu is making such a fuss...
It can also exercise the candidates' ability to withstand stress on the spot.
The palace examination officially begins...
The third candidate, with his talent and insights, made all the officials present forget the nickname he had just mocked...
After it was over, the fourth person was brought in just as he was being taken away.
Jun Baozhu's eyes suddenly widened when she heard the system's revelations.
【What? ! 】
[Is this the person? ]
[Really? It's him?! ]
When the ministers heard this, they knew something was going to happen and they all stretched their necks.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but look at the candidates who came in.
The fourth candidate had a dignified demeanor and an upright posture, and looked obviously stronger than the first three candidates.
At this moment, Jun Baozhu's voice of regret was heard in the hall.
[If he had appeared last year...]
[Will there be no floods, so many people won’t die? 】
The emperor immediately became serious.
When the officials heard this, they were confused and looked at each other.
Huo Feng heard Jun Baozhu's question and explained.
Jun Baozhu heard this and sighed:
[That’s right! Even though he showed up last year…]
[Not to mention, he also participated in the scientific expedition last year...]
[If the results were available last year, why would we participate in this Enke? ]
[Because my father authorized me to let my brother, the crown prince, take full responsibility...]
[And the prince brother is very strict about the examination style and will not tolerate any cheating...]
【This year, he finally had the chance to stand here. 】
[Don’t even mention last year, because of all the irregular exam styles, I couldn’t stand out…]
[Even if he stands out, who would believe him if he said he was good at water management?! ]
Water control?
The ministers seemed to have heard some big news.
The emperor frowned and leaned forward involuntarily.
Jun Baozhu's voice continued:
[Even though he said that he participated in flood control in his time...]
[My ancestors were river workers, and they have been dealing with river water for generations...]
[Later, except for the scholars in the family, the ancestors’ experience in flood control was recorded in writing...]
[With their experience, they can help the river workers who are working together to control the water, but their opinions are rarely adopted by officials...]
[But this person is different. He is not only good at reading and has a flexible mind, but also has a thorough understanding of the theoretical knowledge of his ancestors...]
[Also good at hands-on work...]
The emperor's eyes suddenly widened with scrutiny.
