At this time, someone couldn't help but say, "Since we only have half a day to take the test, how are we going to eat and sleep?"
Li Xiang smiled and clapped her hands, saying, "That's a good question, my dear. Next, I'll take you all to see where we'll eat and sleep. It's almost lunchtime now, so my junior brother Fan Zeng will take you all to visit the cafeteria and dormitories. So, I'll excuse myself."
After saying that, Li Xiang hurried away. Fan Zeng stood up and bowed to everyone, saying, "Please follow me. The standard meal at the Chinese Academy of Sciences is three dishes and one soup, two of which are meat and one vegetable. It fully takes into account both nutrition and taste. I believe you will like it."
"By the way, I should point out that the meals we provide are free. His Majesty heard that many students were having a hard time, so he took money from his own treasury to subsidize your meals. Please rest assured, His Majesty is always paying attention to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone among the candidates suddenly shouted, "Long live His Majesty!"

After the imperial examination, we will surely select many people who are loyal to the emperor and the country. I, your son, congratulate your father again!"
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Li Zhuo laughed heartily again. He found his youngest son more pleasing to the eye.
The ministers who accompanied him were also very considerate and gave him compliments one after another. Even Wei Yong smiled and said a few nice words. It was a picture of harmony between the monarch and his ministers.
Seeing the friendly demeanor of the emperor and his ministers, Lu Chen turned to Mou Ping and said, "Give the person who leads the shouting of 'Long Live the Emperor' five taels of silver. Also, tell him that next time he leads the shouting, I want to hear a tremor!"
