When Tu Yufan came out of the Imperial Examination Hall, he felt that his whole body stank and his bones were a little stiff. Some candidates fainted in the middle of the exam because it took too long and came out sideways. Such people can only come back next year.
When Wang Lingping saw Tu Yufan coming back, she quickly asked the servants to prepare some hot water. After Tu Yufan washed up, he lay down at home and slept all night. He was fully recovered the next day.
The examination conditions were really bad. He lifted his son Zhao Yi and placed him on a wooden toy. Wang Lingping watched the two sons having fun but did not come closer.
When the results were announced, Wang Lingping saw that Tu Yufan didn't seem to care at all, so she didn't dare to show anything.
Until the person who came to congratulate came, everyone in the house became excited. Wang Lingping quickly took out some silver and gave it to the person who brought the good news, and the servants in the house were also given a few more months' salary.
Wang Lingping even felt that the imperial examination was not that difficult. Looking at her husband's appearance, he did not encounter any difficulties, and he did not study to the point of burning himself with awls. He seemed to have passed the exam easily.
However, a few years later, when Zhao Yi also started to take the imperial examinations, Wang Lingping realized that she was still too naive.
The next step is the palace examination, and Tu Yufan is about to meet his real relative of this status.
He didn't think about recognizing his relatives. The Shen family was still in power in the court. The former queen was also a daughter of the Shen family. However, she died of depression due to the cold violence of the emperor within a few years. Fortunately, the empress dowager was not dead, so another daughter of the Shen family was allowed to enter the palace.
The emperor has now passed the stage of youthful vigor. He knows that the Shen family is difficult to shake now, and Concubine Wen has experienced many life experiences, so he does not show any resistance to the daughter of the Shen family entering the palace now.
Now the Shen family is hoping that her belly will do better.

A few days later, the palace examination began, and when Tu Yufan came in, he secretly glanced at the emperor on the stage. He had soft features and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but with a yellow robe on, he looked majestic and inviolable.
Tu Yufan took a quick look and didn't look again. He followed the eunuch's instructions and sat in his seat.
Tu Yufan took a look at the topic and began to grind ink and write. The whole hall fell silent, with only the sound of light footsteps.
Until the end of the war, Tu Yufan did not have the chance to look at the emperor.
The next ranking basically depended on the emperor's preference. On the day of the announcement of the results, Tu Yufan took a look and found that he was actually a second-class Jinshi, and his ranking was at the bottom. He almost dropped to the third place and became a third-class Jinshi.
Tu Yufan thought for a moment and thought that he didn’t do anything to annoy others. Although the second-class Jinshi was also good, he felt that he was more than worthy of this rank.
But it's still okay. If I can't enter the Hanlin Academy, it's also good to be sent to other places, away from the disputes in the court.
I just don't know why the emperor has a problem with me. Is it because of the Shen family?
Apart from this, I can't think of any other reasons.
When Wang Lingping saw Tu Yufan Gogh pass the imperial examination, she paced back and forth in excitement, and then suddenly fainted.
Tu Yufan hurried over to take his pulse, and his eyes changed from nervous to surprised.
She is actually pregnant.
Wang Lingping had never gotten pregnant since she gave birth to Zhao Yiyu, and Tu Yufan didn't care about it. He didn't expect that she would get pregnant when he was about to be sent away.
