However, Ling Jiheng sent his maid to the home of the woman who had just given birth to help in advance.
In just two months, they made rapid progress.
Not only can she help with lactation, but she can also change diapers and even understand most common infant illnesses.
Of course, this is all later.
Chi Xingyue stayed in the household registration department for a while, and then went to see the cattle and horses kept in the detention room.
They had all been locked up for several years. Chi Xingyue felt that some of them were almost losing their minds.
But he would not let them out, so he could only ignore their desire for freedom and assign them some brainless but time-consuming tasks from time to time.
In a good mood today, Chi Xingyue bought two sets of puzzles from the supermarket, two sets of Lego for numbers one, two and three.
In addition, they were given some fruits and snacks.
Number One, Number Two, and Number Three no longer doubted that Chi Xingyue was a monster, and even less believed that she was a fairy.
Even though they had never seen this place before, they couldn't escape no matter how hard they tried.
But they were certain that Chi Xingyue was a demon. It would be better to kill them than to spend their days in jail.
Unfortunately, there were no sharp objects in the detention room. Every time Ling Jiheng watched them finish their work, he would take away items such as scissors.
A few people could only waste time in the iron fence, and they felt that their bodies were getting better and better.
There is really no way to reason.
Chi Xingyue didn't stay here for long. After delivering the things, she left with her big belly.
Then I took a walk around the orchard and it was already late when I came back.
With a thought, the soul returned to the body, just in time to meet Ling Jiheng's eyes that were half smiling.
Chi Xingyue didn't feel guilty and kissed him on the lips.
Ling Jiheng took the opportunity to deepen the kiss until both of them were out of breath, then he got out of bed to wash.
Chi Xingyue felt like her stomach was kicked by a naughty kid.
She took advantage of the situation and said, "Look, the baby knows that their father bullied me, and he's standing up for his mother!"
Ling Jiheng's eyes moved, and he quickly stepped forward and put his palm on her belly.
Through the thin clothes, he could clearly feel the power of the little feet. At this moment, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
"Thank you, my dear wife!" Ling Jiheng hugged Chi Xingyue in his arms and said with a choked voice.
Chi Xingyue felt a tear fall on her neck and patted his back: "I enjoy it. It's not hard at all."
Ling Jiheng smiled and changed Chi Xingyue's clothes and tied her hair.
When the two of them finished packing and opened the door, they saw Baozhu and others looking at them.
Chi Xingyue was startled by meeting so many gazes at once.
He hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"
A group of people smiled and said, "It's okay!"
Baozhu came in to serve and explained in a low voice: "They just want to see what the top scholar looks like!"
Chi Xingyue raised his hand and poked her cheek: "You, shut up! If this gets out, people will start to suspect that we have some extraordinary abilities!"
Baozhu's face turned pale and she hurriedly explained that she didn't mean it.
How could Chi Xingyue not understand?
The little girls just wanted to have a good start, so they said some auspicious words, but this could be a big deal or a small one.
Before the results come out, you must absolutely not give anyone a chance to criticize you.
Baozhu realized the seriousness of the problem and went out to tell the maids and servants to keep a low profile and not to discuss the imperial examination.
Everyone said they understood and tacitly made a zippering gesture.
After washing up, Chi Xingyue took Ling Jiheng to Rongsiyuan to pay his respects.
Before the two of them could even salute, they were pushed onto chairs.
Chi Xingyue looked at the delicious dishes on the table and her mouth was watering with greed.
The old lady served her a bowl of pork rib soup and then asked about the palace examination.
Ling Jiyi and Huang Minbo looked at Ling Jiheng curiously. Ling Jiheng peeled a few shrimps for Chi Xingyue before whispering about his experience in Baohedian.
Ling Jiheng spoke calmly, but the others were terrified.
Ling Jiyi and Huang Minbo, in particular, felt that even if they were lucky enough to enter the palace examination, they would not be able to calmly complete the policy essay under such a high-pressure environment.
It seems that they still need to practice, both academically and psychologically.
In the Wenhua Hall, eight examiners sat solemnly at the table, waiting for the examiner to open the box.
The examiner took out the test papers and handed them to the examiner one by one.
The examiner spread out the paper and carefully considered the points in the article.
After finishing each batch, they have to give the papers in their hands to others, and so on.
If I think the writing is smooth and the viewpoints are constructive, I will draw an "O (circle)", "V (point)", or ". (dot)" and call it noteworthy.
Or "I (straight)" or "X (cross)" means the article is average.
In order to get the first place, that is, the top three places, there must be eight circles on the test paper.
Those who are slightly inferior are ranked second, namely Jinshi.
If you are just a little bit closer, you will be a Tong Jinshi.
Tong Jinshi is not a Jinshi, but because it contains the word "Tong", it is also a very remarkable existence.
It can be said that as long as you have entered the Baohedian Hall, you will basically have a bright future.
The palace examination only has two days to mark the papers. After the evaluation is completed, the marking minister will present the ten best papers to Emperor Zhou.
The emperor personally selected the top three candidates in the imperial examination.
Ling Jiheng's paper was placed at the very edge of the ten papers.
She hid shyly under other papers, as if she was afraid of being seen by Emperor Zhou.
By the way, he got these eight circles in a very thrilling way.
Of the eight examiners, seven expressed their appreciation for Ling Jiheng's sharpness.
But in the end, the old scholar felt that Ling Jiheng's thoughts were too sharp and he was too violent at such a young age, which was not good.
Just as he was about to draw a point on it, the chief eunuch came in.
He smiled and reminded the examiners: "The emperor wants to select some students with real insights from this year's students. I hope you will be open-minded and select the talents you can use."
Just this one sentence made the old scholar change his mind and change the "V" to "O".
Ling Jiheng successfully became a candidate for the top class, but the old scholar was not satisfied and put his paper at the end.
I thought that if His Majesty could pick out one, two, or three from the first nine papers, then I could retire with the tenth one.
However, Emperor Zhou was cautious. He not only read the ten papers carefully, but also called his children and grandchildren to comment on them.
Many people expressed their liking for the first few papers. Of course, there were also people who greatly appreciated the last paper, such as Prince Rui and his son.
Emperor Zhou listened to their discussion and gave his own opinion.
Finally, he waved his hand and chose Ling Jiheng as the top scorer, Jiang Yuanyang as the second, and Qin Zhaolin as the third.
The reason is simple. Ling Jiheng is young, talented and has a bright future.
And he showed his loyalty to him from the very beginning, so it is safe to use such a person.
As for the one named Jiang Yuanyang, he is very talented in writing, but he is a bit old.
He is over 40 years old this year. Even if he is given a platform, how many years can he strive for it?
After much hesitation, Emperor Zhou finally gave him the second place in the imperial examination as a sign of respect for his years of study.
