Sometimes the young master really can’t let go of Chaochao and wants to do everything himself.
But Mrs. Ruan did not allow it. The young master was still in confinement and could not be too tired. After all, taking care of a child was a rather stressful job, so it would be better to leave it to the wet nurse.
As for the young master, you can just play with him occasionally while Chao Chao is still awake.
So over the past few days, the young master didn't learn anything else, but he was very familiar with playing with Xiao Chaochao.
Han Xiao looked at his two babies interacting with each other and smiled gently.
Now Han Xiao doesn't want to care about anything and just wants to be with his two babies.
The palace examination was held immediately after the joint examination. Han Mingyuan won the first place, but he did not make a big fuss. He just had a meal with the Ruan and Lu families as a celebration.
Because after the joint examination, the palace examination will be held immediately. The palace examination is extraordinary because it is supervised by the emperor himself, but Han Mingyuan has been prepared.
He is now very confident that he can get a good ranking and will definitely not embarrass his teacher.
After the results of the imperial examination were announced, more and more people came to invite Han Mingyuan. Some even asked their wives to invite Han's mother in a roundabout way, but they were all rejected by the Han family on the grounds that they were preparing for the palace examination.
However, Han Mingyuan knew that this was only temporary, and he could not refuse every time. After the palace examination, he would officially step into the court, and his future fate was still unknown, so Han Mingyuan carefully considered every step he took.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the palace examination. Han Mingyuan had been waiting outside the palace since early morning. There were already quite a few people standing outside.
They were all talented people who made it to the imperial examination. Han Mingyuan stood there, and many students looked at him and started whispering to him.
Because Han Mingyuan was not very familiar with these talented people, he didn't know any of them well. The others were in groups of three or four, but Han Mingyuan was alone.
This way Han Mingyuan can get some peace and quiet. He doesn't think having many friends is a good thing.
"I guess this is Han Huiyuan. My name is Lu Zizhuo." The man who came was a young man in green clothes, who looked to be in his twenties.
Last name Lu? Han Mingyuan turned around and nodded: "Brother Lu, you are so kind."
Han Mingyuan was still wondering whether this Lu Zizhuo was from the Lu family, as he had never heard Lu Ming mention him.
"I'm sorry, I may have offended you, but I have a few questions I want to ask Han Huiyuan." Lu Zizhuo said a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, what's the problem?" Han Mingyuan asked in confusion. He seemed to have no connection with this Mr. Lu, so why would he ask him a question?
"That's right, that's right... I know this might be a bit abrupt, but I still want to ask, could you please show me the manuscript you're going to try?"
Lu Zizhuo said this with great embarrassment, his whole face flushed red, and it was obvious that he was a very introverted person.
"Well, of course." Han Mingyuan didn't think of such a small matter, but Han Mingyuan could also understand it. He was taught by Mr. Qinghe, and the manuscripts could show how much knowledge a person has.
Lu Zizhuo was no exception in having this request.
"Thank you very much, Han Huiyuan. I will definitely come to your house to express my gratitude after the palace examination." Lu Zizhuo looked at Han Mingyuan in surprise. He didn't expect that things could be done so easily.
"No, no, these are all trivial matters..." Han Mingyuan said with a smile.
After receiving the reply, Lu Zizhuo did not disturb Han Mingyuan anymore. He walked to a place not far from Han Mingyuan and waited.
Soon the palace gates opened and the eunuchs led the students into the palace.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense because most of the students were entering the palace for the first time. Han Mingyuan was no exception. He knew that he couldn't look around, so he simply lowered his head and followed the eunuchs.
The palace maids and eunuchs came and went in a hurry, but Han Mingyuan stared straight ahead, staring at the tip of his shoes.
When they arrived at the main hall, Han Mingyuan found his seat and sat down. At the examiner's command, all the students began to write.
Suddenly, the only sound in the entire hall was the rustling of brushes against paper. This exam question was about people's livelihood. Mr. Qinghe had talked about it, and Han Mingyuan answered that someone was...
Suddenly hearing some movement behind him, Han Mingyuan resisted the urge to look back, and then a man in a black brocade robe with dragon pattern stood in front of him.
Han Mingyuan raised his eyes slightly and could only see the legs and shoes of the person who came. He had a rough guess in his mind that this person might be the emperor.
Han Mingyuan couldn't help but feel nervous, as he wasn't sure whether the emperor had seen his test paper.
He simply showed all the test papers to the emperor so that he could see them clearly.
The emperor originally wanted to come here for a long walk today, but later he heard from Eunuch Dexi that Han Xiao's father was also one of the candidates this time.
The emperor now became interested and walked to Han Mingyuan's seat to see what kind of person his soft father-in-law was.
Strictly speaking, the two are still relatives, but one is standing and the other is sitting, so their status is completely unequal.
A thin layer of sweat gradually seeped out of Han Mingyuan's forehead. He collected his thoughts and concentrated on writing his test paper. Soon, he ignored everything around him.
The emperor originally wanted to see what kind of person this "relative" was, but he was attracted by Han Mingyuan's test paper, so much so that the emperor stood beside Han Mingyuan for a long time.
The examiners standing by gathered around him, but Han Mingyuan continued to answer the questions without distraction.
After finally finishing the last word, Han Mingyuan let out a long sigh. When he raised his head to hand in the paper, he saw a circle of people gathered in front of him, and was immediately frightened.
Seeing Han Mingyuan's frightened eyes, the examiners felt embarrassed, patted their heads and left silently.
Suddenly, only the emperor and Han Mingyuan were left.
Han Mingyuan raised his head to meet the emperor's gaze, thought for a moment, and then nodded to the emperor as a greeting.
The emperor looked at Han Mingyuan for a while before turning around and leaving. After the emperor left, Han Mingyuan handed in his test paper and was then taken to another palace by the eunuchs.
Inside the palace was a banquet held by the emperor. Any students who came to take the palace examination could attend, but the emperor and the examiners were not there to prevent the students from feeling too restrained.
When Han Mingyuan walked into the palace, the palace, which was still full of people whispering to each other, suddenly became quiet.
Because all the students saw what happened in the hall just now, they all knew that the emperor stood beside Han Mingyuan and watched him for a long time.
They were all wondering whether Han Mingyuan had won the emperor's favor, so they could get close to Han Mingyuan by taking advantage of their proximity.
