Suddenly Tang Wan'er was stunned, and her hand holding the flowers stopped in mid-air, as if it was frozen.
Zhao Rouer followed her gaze and saw a man standing before her. Her young age made it difficult for her to remember her father's appearance, and she looked at Zhao Huan curiously.
"Your Majesty." Tang Wan'er was so excited that the flowers in her hand fell to the ground. She was about to bend down to pick them up when she suddenly saw her daughter and hurriedly said, "Rou'er, quickly call father!"

Meng Gurao couldn't help but be curious, so he went over to take the test paper and took a look. He was so shocked that his face turned pale. He hurriedly put the test paper in his arms and didn't even dare to file it.
The other deputy examiners were shocked: "Master Meng, what are you doing?"
