Shi Yu's bright eyes immediately took notice of the candidates below.
It's been a long time since anyone has dared to say that about her.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Ideally, his own life should be free of problems.
Otherwise, it would really be a joke.
[Hey, hey, get up and let me see if this person has any gossip on them.]
【Okay, Yuyu.】Gua66’s voice immediately rang out.
Always ready to enjoy the gossip, anytime, anywhere.
Gua66 quickly came to a conclusion.
【Yu Yu, don't be fooled by the fact that this person made it to the palace examination; he actually got in by stepping on someone else's tail.】
[And he also has to thank the chaos in the exam hall.]
Otherwise, it's questionable whether he would even be here today.
Shi Yu tapped her chin to indicate that she understood.
[I know, he's commonly known as a bargain hunter.]
【Ha ha ha ha……】
The cheerful and clear voice of little Shi Yu echoed in the Xuanzheng Hall.
The officials present were moved, feeling a sense of familiarity: it had been a long time since they had heard Princess Shengping laugh like that.
It seems that only when Princess Shengping attends court will there be much more joy in the court.
The examinee who heard Shi Yu's thoughts blushed.
Because Shi Yu was right, he was indeed the last one to enter.
That's why he was so eager to perform well in the palace examination.
All for the sake of taking a gamble and striving for a bright future.
However, it was clear that the situation on the scene was somewhat beyond his expectations.
No one expected that Emperor Tai'an would bring a little baby with him during the palace examination, and that the little baby would even eat melon seeds.
This melon, once eaten, ended up hitting him on the head.
For some reason, the candidate felt that the gazes around him were full of malice, which made him shrink back a little.
At this moment, Shi Yu and Gua 66's voices continued to ring out.
Gua66: [Yuyu, don't be fooled by his nice words; he's just a chauvinist.]
Did you know that his mother, a woman in her forties, never even had the chance to sit at the table to eat a meal with him?
[Because it's customary in their area that women don't eat at the table.]
[Last time, when his mother celebrated her birthday, she wanted to sit at the table and eat, but he immediately sent her back.]
[Later, his mother fell ill for many days because of this incident, and almost died, causing him to enter a period of mourning.]
Shi Yu was surprised to hear this. "This person speaks very well, and their actions are quite admirable too."
Isn't it normal for a mother in her forties to want to sit at the table to eat?
Look around this capital city, in which household does the matriarch, the legal wife, not eat at the table?
[And believe it or not, this woman is her mother!]
He's just his mother's son, yet he looks down on her.
[Where did this person come from? Their thinking is so feudal.]
[Also, isn't he a scholar?]
Reading helps one understand principles; I think he understood a kind of loneliness.
Even a dog wags its tail when it eats; he's even less considerate than a dog.
[Haha, Yu Yu's scolding is well done, very well done!]
Gua66 applauded enthusiastically.
The officials below were so excited that they almost joined in the applause.
Fortunately, the official next to him was kind-hearted and gently pulled his hand as a reminder.
The examinee, having had his secret exposed, was now pale and ashen-faced, looking utterly wretched!
Upon hearing what Gua66 said, Shi Yu immediately turned her head and spoke to Emperor Tai'an beside her.
"Emperor, Emperor, those who are not filial cannot become officials."
"This man's mother gave birth to him and raised him, and he has read so many books, yet he is still old-fashioned and doesn't even let his mother sit at the table to eat."
"Others might be bullying his mother because they think it's fun."
“He bullied his mother, but I think that’s really filial piety, the kind of filial piety that comes from being a good son.”
"Pfft."
"hehe……"
The officials in the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.
But as they laughed, they realized that Emperor Tai'an was still on the dragon throne, his expression serious.
This startled them so much that they quickly wiped the smiles off their faces.
However, as soon as they withdrew, Emperor Tai'an burst into hearty laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Emperor Tai'an smiled, and the officials below were stunned for a moment before they couldn't help but burst into laughter as well.
Anyway, Emperor Tai'an's laughter was louder than theirs, so it could be covered up, it could be covered up.
"Hmm?" But Emperor Tai'an stopped laughing after a while.
The officials, who were so startled they couldn't stop laughing, quickly raised their hands to cover their mouths.
They're here today to be examiners.
Why does this give them the feeling of watching a melon-eating scene?
Hehehe...
Anyway, I still want to laugh.
However, there are certainly more than one candidate like this within the country.
It seems they still have to work hard for the court and strive to ensure that all the people in the world can live well.
When Emperor Tai'an's face turned somber, his aura spread out as if it were tangible.
The candidate's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am guilty!" the examinee cried.
He squeezed his legs together and tensed his body to prevent his excrement from getting out of control and polluting the main hall.
Then he'll be truly finished.
He failed to become an official, and was even subjected to an on-site character test, which still came back as inferior.
How can he possibly continue his career in politics after this?
"What crime have you committed?" Emperor Tai'an sat on the dragon throne, looking down with majesty.
The examinee lowered his head and quickly said, "I suddenly thought of my mother who is still suffering in my hometown, and I feel very sorry for her."
"I want to bring my mother to the capital in the future so that she can be spared the influence of bad culture."
"Your Majesty, look, he's farting." Shi Yu chuckled and pointed at the examinees below.
The candidate tensed up even more due to nervousness.
Then, the next second, there was a loud "poof".
A long, stinky fart, like a poison gas bomb, was released.
The stench was so strong that the officials nearby quickly covered their noses with handkerchiefs.
Emperor Tai'an smelled the faint stench of a fart wafting through the air, and his old face immediately darkened.
"This candidate has been disqualified from the palace examination for his breach of etiquette."
“Yes,” an official replied.
Guards came forward and dragged the man out.
The examinee, being dragged out, pleaded bitterly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please give this humble subject another chance."
"This humble subject has studied diligently for eighteen years to finally have the opportunity to stand before Your Majesty."
Emperor Tai'an waved his hand impatiently.
How can you expect someone who can't even love his own mother to love others or the common people?
That's bullshit.
"Let the palace examination begin." Emperor Tai'an withdrew his gaze and waved to start.
