As April arrives, the spring examination is about to begin.
The students who came to Beijing to take the exam were all eager to try. The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall was closed and no outsiders were allowed to wander around in front of the gate.
It was not until three days later that the gate of the Gongshi Academy was opened again, and the identities of these people would undergo earth-shaking changes after today.
In mid-April, the results of the special examination will be announced, and the top three will have to enter the palace to participate in the final round of palace examination.
Knowing that her brother was among them, Fu Qianyu had not had a good night's sleep in the past half month. She sent people to the front to wait for news before dawn.
At noon, Hai Ning walked in happily and bowed to Fu Qianyu joyfully, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, your son has passed the imperial examination and has been chosen as the third place winner by the Emperor."

It's a pity that the prince died in the battlefield at a young age. Changwan, as the posthumous child of Prince Yongjun, was raised in the palace since childhood. She was well-educated and kind-hearted.
She didn't move to the princess's mansion until she reached the age of 15.
Princess Yuxian was born to the late emperor's concubine Zhao. Although she was stunningly beautiful, she was arrogant and even declared that she would not marry anyone other than the top scholar.
Fu Qianyu was really afraid that Princess Yuxian would change her mind on the day of the hairpin flower banquet.
