Chapter 12 The Imperial Examination (Part 1)



"Luo Bao, there are only three days left! The exam officially starts in three days. The students who are taking the exam have already begun arriving in the capital. There's also a poetry gathering tomorrow. Do you want to join the fun? There are lots of beautiful and talented young ladies there!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo's eyes lit up. "I want to go! I'll talk to my mother after court and ask if my older brother can take me along. He can get to know these people beforehand; we'll all be colleagues eventually. Building good relationships now will make things easier later. It's definitely not because of the young ladies."

Everyone: Young Master Qin, why don't you wipe your drool first? That would make you more convincing.

Qin Xiang: My youngest daughter's image is completely ruined. Should I try to salvage it? He glanced at Qin Qianluo's appearance, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, it's beyond saving."

Other female officials: Are we not beautiful enough? Or are we not talented enough? Little Qin already wants to look at other female officials? Well, it's not a matter of comparison. The main thing is that we met first, and Little Qin has never looked at us with such bright eyes.

Su Xiang and General Mu: They were holding our hands before going to court, praising our beauty in their hearts. Now that they see the new ladies, they've forgotten about us. Sure enough, Lord Qin only likes new women.

The Emperor: What are you comparing? Isn't it good to have talented people enter the court? What's there to compare? That girl always falls in love with every guy she sees.

001 hesitated for a moment, then said, "Uh... Luo Bao is right. Your older brother is so lucky to have such a wonderful younger sister like Luo Bao."

Everyone: 001, just spoil her! Just spoil her!

Qin Qianlu raised her head with a hint of pride, noted down the time of the poetry gathering, and planned to go see the beautiful girls after training tomorrow—no, to help her older brother make friends with future colleagues.

After the court session, Prime Minister Qin wanted to stay behind to confirm the details of the imperial examination, so he told Qin Qianluo to go home first. After Qin Qianluo got home and finished her training as usual, she went to tell Lin's mother about the poetry gathering. Lin's mother did not know that she mainly wanted to see beautiful women. Thinking that it would be beneficial for Qin Jiyuan to get to know his future colleagues in advance, which would make it much easier for him to handle official business in the future, she agreed.

After receiving Lin's mother's approval, Qin Qianlu happily told her older brother, Qin Jiyuan, who also nodded in agreement. Seeing that her brother had agreed, Qin Qianlu skipped back to the courtyard. Thinking of her promise to help Prime Minister Su and General Mu buy rice and flour, she took out some rice and flour from her spatial storage and had a servant deliver it. She then nestled back on the soft couch and continued watching TV.

The next day, after finishing her daily training, Qin Qianlu changed into clothes that were easy to move in, styled her hair in a simple lily-shaped bun, and wore a silver hair crown. She then went out with her elder brother to attend the poetry gathering. Several officials in the court were curious and secretly went to watch. Prime Minister Su was also among them, thinking about seeing the talents of this year's students and selecting a few to assist him. Recently, she had been busy with political affairs and was also quite overwhelmed.

Upon arriving at the poetry gathering, Qin Qianluo was so captivated by the sight of so many beautiful young women that she could hardly move. Qin Jiyuan told his younger sister to rest in a private room while he went down to compose poems with the others. Qin Qianluo obediently agreed, took out her favorite Tieguanyin tea from her spatial storage, brewed herself a pot of tea, and happily drank the tea while admiring the beautiful women and listening to the poems. She was thoroughly enjoying herself.

"Look at that beautiful woman in the moon-white dress. She's so pretty, so talented, and has such a refined and elegant demeanor. She's the epitome of a woman of exceptional beauty and talent. And her voice is so gentle; listening to her is like hearing birdsong in the forest, so soothing and calming."

001 looked at Qin Qianluo, who was staring at him like a lovesick fool, and said in a soft voice with a hint of helplessness, "Luo Bao, didn't you say it was mainly to help your older brother make friends with future colleagues? Why are you looking at pretty girls again?"

Qin Qianluo retorted, "My brother made friends with him; I was just watching from upstairs, I didn't go down to see. Anyway, I was in a private room, no one else knew, I was just telling you in my heart."

The students were initially surprised when they heard the voice. Who was this student? Hearing it was coming from a private room and that it was being spoken in one's mind, they were astonished. What was going on? While everyone was confused, someone sent by the Emperor secretly explained the situation to them. Everyone's eyes lit up. It turned out they had heard the inner thoughts of Young Master Qin. They secretly marveled at how amazing Young Master Qin was. The students secretly searched for Young Master Qin's location. The female student who had been praised by Qin Qianluo blushed slightly, her beautiful eyes glancing around. When she saw the purple figure in the private room, her eyes lit up. Young Master Qin was indeed beautiful, and her talent was also remarkable, uttering such beautiful verses.

Qin Jiyuan: So, my little sister asked me to make friends with future colleagues as a side thing, and looking at beautiful women is the main thing, right?

Upon seeing the small purple figure, the crowd secretly moved closer, each displaying their talents in hopes of being praised by this magical voice.
