When they arrived in front of the list, Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian cooperated with each other, one looking at it from above and the other from below.
First Class A Huo Jingzhan.
First Class A-B Tang Kangwen.
First Class A C Grade Yang Junyu.
Gao Zhijun was very happy when she saw Huo Jinqian's name ranked first. She didn't expect him to be so smart and get first place.
Jingzhan is Huo Jinqian's pen name, which he gave himself.
"Jinqian, you won, you won first place, you became the champion."
Gao Zhijun said to Huo Jinqian.
"Really, Master Huo, you have mastered the Li Yuan."
Mo Xue also saw it and said excitedly.
She was really happy for Mr. Huo and also for the young lady, as this was her fiancé.
"That young man is really amazing, he even reached the highest level."
"Yes, if my son passed the imperial examination, I would definitely hold a three-day banquet to celebrate."
"Unfortunately, my son wasn't smart enough. He only ranked 120th and was able to take part in the provincial examination."
"Congratulations! My son failed the exam."
…………
"Everyone, please be quiet. Huo Jingzhan cheated and didn't even pass the exam."
Suddenly a man's voice interrupted everyone's discussion.
The person who spoke was the candidate who had some conflict with Huo Jinqian and wanted to snatch the instant noodles. He was Lei Mingze, the legitimate son of Lei Tianba, the largest landlord in Taizhou.
"What? Cheating doesn't count. You must be severely punished."
"That's right, people like this should be disqualified from taking the scientific examination."
"Yes, otherwise it would be unfair to other candidates."
"Severe punishment! Severe punishment!"
The candidates and their families who were reading the list denounced Huo Jinqian one after another, and became more and more excited.
When the gatekeeper heard the noise, he immediately came over to maintain order and understand the situation.
"what happen?"
A gatekeeper asked the troublemakers.
"Sir, that young man said that the first-place winner, Huo Jingzhan, cheated in the exam. I hope you can handle this matter impartially and disqualify this person from the exam."
The mother of a candidate said.
"Who is Huo Jingzhan?"
The gatekeeper asked everyone.
"Sir, this student is Huo Jingzhan."
Huo Jinqian stepped forward and said.
"Is he right? What do you have to say?"
Jianmen Gong looked at Huo Jinqian. He was handsome, elegant, and upright. He didn't look like a cheater.
"Sir, I don't know him. From his voice, I suspect he and I were taking the exam in the same courtyard, and we had a quarrel over instant noodles."
Huo Jinqian said truthfully.
From the other person's voice, he suspected that it was the candidate who wanted to steal his instant noodles.
"Instant noodles? What is that?"
The gatekeeper asked Huo Jinqian.
"Instant noodles, let me talk about this. Instant noodles are a kind of food I made and brought to my fiancé to eat at the Imperial Examination Hall."
Gao Zhijun spoke before Huo Jinqian was about to speak.
If you ask about instant noodles, she has the most say.
"Who are you? I'm asking him, what are you talking about?"
The gatekeeper's expression changed slightly and he angrily scolded Gao Zhijun.
"Sir, I came up with the idea for instant noodles. Don't I have a say? Also, you seem to look down on women. Who am I? I am the Princess Xiangyun, personally appointed by the Emperor. Do I have the right to speak?"
Gao Zhijun looked at the gate officer coldly.
"What? You are Princess Xiangyun? That's not Divine Doctor Gao."
The mother of one candidate said.
"I recognized her. She is Divine Doctor Gao. I've seen her in the clinic."
Another candidate's father said.
"Your humble servant greets the princess. I apologize for any offense I caused earlier. I hope the princess will forgive me."
The gatekeeper quickly knelt down and said.
The chief examiner and Magistrate Zhang hurried over with the gate officer.
It turned out that a gatekeeper heard that there was cheating in the exam and immediately ran into the examination hall to find the chief examiner.
After hearing this, the chief examiner came over immediately, and Magistrate Zhang followed.
As soon as he arrived, he heard people talking about Princess Xiangyun and ran over in fright.
When Magistrate Zhang saw Gao Zhijun, he understood why Huo Jingzhan sounded familiar to him. It turned out that he was the princess's fiancé.
"This subordinate greets the princess!"
The chief examiner and Magistrate Zhang immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
"Student greets the princess!"
The candidates kowtowed to Gao Zhijun and paid their respects.
"I, a commoner, greet the princess!"
The candidate's family kowtowed to Gao Zhijun and paid their respects.
"Everyone, get up!"
Gao Zhijun waved her hand and asked them all to stand up.
"Thank you, Princess!"
The chief examiner and Magistrate Zhang led everyone to stand up.
"I hope everyone will not make random guesses or frame others without evidence."
Gao Zhijun glanced at the family of the examinee who had just denounced Huo Jinqian.
"Princess, I'm sorry. We were just being mean and said something wrong. I hope you won't take it to heart."
The woman was frightened and apologized.
"I hope this is the last time. If I hear it again, I will never let you off easily."
Gao Zhijun said lightly.
"And you, do you have any evidence to prove that Huo Jingzhan cheated? Please produce the evidence."
Gao Zhijun glanced at Lei Mingze coldly, the temperature was enough to make him shiver.
"I, I, he cheated, and he made us fail the test."
When Lei Mingze heard that she was a princess, he regretted it. The princess was not someone he could afford to offend. It was all the fault of those servants. They couldn't find out such a small thing, causing him to offend the princess.
Now he can only bite the bullet and say that Huo Jingzhan cheated, otherwise he will be in trouble.
"How did Master Huo cause you to fail the exam? Tell me."
Gao Zhijun asked with a sneer.
"The instant noodles he brought smelled so good, and if he wanted to eat them, he should have waited until everyone had handed in their papers. But he didn't. He ate them while we were doing our homework, and the aroma made us lose the energy to do our work."
Lei Mingze said defensively.
"If it's because of instant noodles, then this princess is the culprit. It's because this princess came up with instant noodles and had them made. If the aroma of them disturbed your exams, this princess apologizes. But you couldn't even resist this little temptation. Your willpower is too poor."
Gao Zhijun apologized to everyone.
"Princess, we can't afford it."
Many candidates said.
"Examiner, Prefect Zhang, this princess hopes you will investigate thoroughly and give me and my fiancé an explanation. Not just any random person can slander this princess's fiancé."
Gao Zhijun turned to look at the examiner and Magistrate Zhang, asking them to investigate the matter thoroughly and give her and Jinqian an explanation.
"Yes, Princess!"
The chief examiner and Magistrate Zhang said.
