"The results are out! The results are out!"
Suddenly, cheers came from downstairs, attracting everyone's attention.
The mother and son walked to the window.
The streets were crowded with people.
Everyone was running in the same direction.
That is the direction of the Imperial Examination Hall.
"Mom, shall we go and take a look too?"
The little emperor had never seen such a lively and grand occasion.
The little guy's eyes sparkled as he looked at his mother expectantly.
Xin Guoguo nodded gently: "Okay."

The imperial examination was the most common way to achieve class advancement.
Although there are few families who can afford to send their children to school, as long as one passes the exam, it will be a leap forward for the entire clan.
Therefore, in this era, scholars are highly valued.
The examination list will be posted starting from the last one.
Some people had already found their names and were dancing with excitement with their companions: "I passed! I passed!"
There were also older people who had taken exams for their entire lives and finally passed. They were now so excited that they were shedding tears.
The various behaviors of the students at this moment deeply moved the little emperor, who was less than six years old.
He held his mother's hand tightly and looked at the faces of everyone in front of him.
They were either crying or laughing, or extremely excited, or sighing.
As the lists were posted one after another, more and more people appeared with sad faces.
"Oh! Looks like I failed the exam again this year!"
"There's still one picture left! What are you so anxious about, Brother Yu?"
"Hey! How could I not know my own level? How could I possibly get top marks?"
There was a moment of silence around, and it was obvious that many people had realized this.
"The list of top-ranked candidates is out!"
However, although I didn't pass the exam, everyone couldn't help but be curious about who the top scorers were.
After all, only those who passed the first place exam would be eligible for the palace examination and attend the Qionglin Banquet!
I’m so envious just thinking about it!
What's going on in these people's brains?
How come it’s so powerful?
Xin Guoguo was also a little curious.
She had a list in her hand, all of which were people Qingfeng had come into contact with in Jiangnan.
I don’t know how these people performed in this year’s examination.
Although she controlled considerable power in the harem, it was still far from the complex network of Liu's.
In the previous dynasty, there were only a few royalists who could be of use.
However, she is not in a hurry now.
Che'er is still young, and it will take several years for him to rule the country.
If Liu stepped down at this time, she would have to worry about it!
She won't take on any work for herself!
Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, isn’t it nice to be a salted fish?
Or is it uncomfortable lying down?
"Jiang Yongnian, from Jiangnan, 23 years old. Wow! Brother Yongnian, you're amazing!"
"Brother Yu is not bad! Just now he said that he couldn't make it into the first class. It seems that Brother Yu is being modest."
"Hehe! I just don't have much confidence in myself." Yu Rong scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
After all, he had managed to get second place in the first class! If nothing unexpected happened in the palace examination, he would have been the runner-up this year!
Both of them are from Jiangnan and seem to have a good relationship, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Fortunately, the third place was from Beijing, which made everyone feel a little relieved.
However, despite the floods in Jiangnan last year, it is not easy for these two people to pass the exam!
"Huh? I heard that they are all students from Tianhong Academy!"
"Tianhong Academy? Where is this? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"I've never heard of it before. But I heard from my friends in Jiangnan that Tianhong Academy opened only five years ago and enrolls students for free. It seems they have a collaboration with Wangyue Tower!"
The topic of discussion among the students gradually deviated.
Jiang Yongnian and Yu Rong also hurriedly slipped out of the crowd.
The two of them couldn't wait to go back to the inn to pack their things, waiting to be appointed as officials after the palace examination and decide whether to stay or go.

After wandering around for a whole day, the little emperor couldn't help feeling a little tired.
The mother and son took a carriage, returned to the palace, had dinner, and then rested.
The next morning, the little emperor couldn't wait to run to Xin Guoguo:
"Mother, did you find out about the Tianhong Academy yesterday?"
But he saw his mother shook her head.
The little guy tilted his head in confusion.
This is not like the Queen Mother's style!
Although the Queen Mother doesn't like to be in charge of things, whenever she encounters something she doesn't know, she will always find out as quickly as possible.
Xin Guoguo waved to the little guy.
The little girl snuggled happily in her mother's arms, tilted her head up and looked at her, waiting for her explanation.
Xin Guoguo's eyes were gentle: "Tianhong Academy was founded by Qingfeng five years ago."
The little guy knows Qingfeng.
The Queen Mother never avoided him when handling matters.
The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up: "Mother is so powerful!"
Xin Guoguo was very pleased to hear the little guy's exaggerated praise.
She smiled brightly and pinched her son's soft little face: "Our Che'er is also very capable! Now the secret guards under your command are all trained in an orderly manner!"
When praised by his mother, the little guy's face flushed and looked very cute: "It's my mother's good teaching."
The mother and son started praising each other, you praised me and I praised you, which made Ye Ting's mouth twitch.
You and your son are both amazing, okay?
*
The little emperor took part in the palace examination for the first time.
However, he could only sit obediently on the dragon throne and be a competent puppet.
However, this does not prevent the little guy from having his own ideas and secretly paying attention to candidates he thinks are good.
