What is a good student?
A good student is one who can accurately estimate his or her ranking after the exam.
Li Xiang felt that he was such a good student. When he saw today's test questions, he knew that he would definitely get first place.
"I would like to thank my master, the many professors in the Faculty of Arts, my father, the Emperor, my mother, and many, many others."
Yes, the moment Li Xiang saw this exam question, she even thought of her acceptance speech.
The reason is simple. He had taken this test before. Of course, it was not exactly the same, just similar.
But even so, he already had a great advantage.
You should know that every article he wrote during this period was the subject of research by the entire School of Literature.
Those great people and famous figures in the eyes of outsiders are his teachers. They patiently help him correct his papers every day, point out what he did wrong and what he should do better.
Under such high-intensity study and practice, Li Xiang wanted to ask who else was there.
Of course, this is also because Li Xiang benefited from the examination area. As far as Da Qi is concerned, the level of students in the north is obviously not as good as that in the south.
But no matter what, Li Xiang felt that she was in a safe position this time, so safe that she could even prepare a celebration banquet in advance.
The eldest prince's face was extremely interesting. He thought that by sitting here he could create a lot of psychological pressure on Li Xiang. The other party was only eight years old and would definitely not be able to bear it and collapse, which would directly affect his test scores.
But who would have thought that in the face of the pressure he created, Li Xiang not only did not collapse, but became more and more courageous!
Although he didn't know whether Li Xiang could really get the first place, he could see that Li Xiang really didn't care about the pressure he put on her, and even seemed a little disrespectful to him.
Since his purpose has been discovered, the eldest prince does not plan to stay here any longer.
He snorted coldly and turned away, still cursing as he got into the sedan chair: "Damn it, did someone replace this kid's soul? How did he become like this now?"
Watching the eldest prince walk away, Li Xiang couldn't help but sneer, "I don't know what Master is worried about. How can he compare to me like this?"
"Don't even mention killing me. He's far inferior to the others. Apart from being a few years older than us, he's completely useless. It would be a rare thing if Father really passed the throne to someone like him."
After muttering these things, Li Xiang went to find Lu Chen happily.
Today, the master promised to cook delicious food himself. Although the chef in the cafeteria earns a good income, how can it compare to the master's small kitchen?
The master has to do a lot of preparatory work, so the food he makes naturally tastes extraordinary.
Moreover, there are only a handful of people in the entire Great Qi Dynasty who are lucky enough to want to use the things made by the master. Even my father has never tasted it.
After the eldest prince returned home, he complained to Yangxuzi, "Your trick wasn't very good. I don't think that kid was nervous at all. He was really trying to tease me. Master, do you think this kid can really get first place in the exam?"
"It's hard to say. I don't know the little prince's ability, but Your Highness can rest assured. The results will be announced in two days anyway. We will know whether he is really capable then!"
…
Late at night, in the imperial palace, Li Zhuo, who had just taken a short nap, was dealing with memorials.
Being an emperor is actually very tiring. Only when you sit in this position will you know how great the pressure is.
To put it nicely, he is the supreme ruler of the world. To put it bluntly, he is the biggest landlord in the world.
If he manages the country well, everyone will call him His Majesty the Emperor, but once he makes a mess of the country and makes the whole country full of smoke, he will be a complete tyrant.
At that time, those who supported him before would rise up, pull him off the throne, and elect a new emperor to take his place.
Yawning, stretching, and looking at the few memorials left around him, Li Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wouldn't be long before he could go back to sleep.
He reached out and took a sip of the ginseng tea beside him. He felt much better indeed. So he put down the teacup and chatted with Hua Bule beside him: "I heard that Xiaoyao also took the exam today? How did it go?"
Hua Bule knew very well that Li Xiang held a very important position in His Majesty's mind. He dealt with the intelligence about Li Xiang as soon as possible and kept it firmly in mind.
Now that His Majesty was questioning him, he immediately responded, "Your Majesty, the young prince is extremely talented and intelligent, having received your true teachings. At such a young age, he is already qualified to take the imperial examinations. From the news our people have brought back, it seems the young prince did very well in this exam and may even win the title."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhuo smiled brightly.
After all, he had a slight preference for Li Xiang.
This is not only because Li Xiang's mother was his most beloved concubine, but also because they are now separated from each other forever.
It’s also because Li Xiang looks like him, very much like him. Seeing Li Xiang is like seeing myself as a child.
Li Zhuo had a very uncomfortable life when he was a child. Now that he has power in his hands, he hopes that Li Xiang can live a better and more comfortable life.
You are right to say that this is his concern for Li Xiang, and you are also right to say that he is trying to make up for his childhood regrets.
Parents all over the world are like this, they all like to hear good things about their children.
Seeing Huabule praising Li Xiang like this, Li Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right, this kid takes after me. But compared to me, he has a good teacher. His future achievements will definitely not be inferior to mine."
After hearing this, Hua Bule opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows when he saw this and said, "You old dog, do you still need to hide things from me? If you have something to say, just tell me now."
Hua Bule hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Originally, a servant like me shouldn't speak of such matters, but I know Your Majesty loves the little prince, so there is something I must tell you. During the exam today, the eldest prince also went to the examination room and met with the little prince."
"The eldest prince?" Li Zhuo frowned slightly. To be honest, because the Empress was too clever for her own good last time, the eldest prince also did not get a good face from Li Zhuo, and the two sides have not seen each other for a long time.
"What is he going to do?" Li Zhuo asked in a low voice.
Seeing this, Hua Bule shrank his neck and said, "They said they were going to cheer up the little prince, but in fact the eldest prince was going to increase the pressure on the little prince."
"What a bastard! He's a dog that never changes its nature! Give me an order! Give me an order to severely reprimand him!"
