Chapter 466 Fan Houyang Passes the Imperial Examination
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care about Fan Houyang and Yang Chengchen. As long as they didn't cause trouble in the princess's mansion, she would be satisfied.
Although today was the day Fan Houyang and Yang Chengchen were due to announce their results, Zhao Lingmeng had asked them both, and they both said there was no chance. So she didn't have high hopes for it, and didn't get up early to prepare.
Zhao Lingmeng planned to treat today as an ordinary day, otherwise if she failed to prepare, she was afraid that Fan Houyang would be sad.
Even Fan Houyang himself did not get up so early and was sleeping soundly at this time.
Fan Yong thought, just in case! He asked for leave in advance, got up early, and went to wait under the list in person.
Apart from anything else, Fan Yong is really good to Fan Houyang.
When Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Houyang woke up, they were the only ones in the mansion. Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming were preparing to participate in this year's imperial examination and were basically living in the Imperial Academy.
Originally, they had asked for leave today, but Fan Houyang said that he would not pass the exam, and he felt embarrassed for them to stay at home, so he sent them to the college to review early.
Zhao Zhili was also sent to the Royal Academy by Zhao Lingmeng. Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to take care of children at all now. She felt that she had taken care of these children enough.
As soon as the list was posted, Fan Yong rushed to the front. He saw the names of Fan Houyang and Yang Chengchen right away because he was smart enough. He started from the end. Fan Houyang was last, Yang Chengchen was third from the bottom, with only one person between them.
Fan Yong was overjoyed and couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of fate is this between these two? They always rank next to each other."
Fan Yong grumbled, but his hands did not slow down at all. He immediately squeezed out of the crowd and rode straight to the mansion.
He had to go back and prepare. When the official came to announce the good news, the Princess's Mansion would be so deserted and what a shame it would be.
As soon as Fan Yong arrived at the door on horseback, the concierge came forward and respectfully took the horse and whip from him, saying, "The Prince Consort is back!"
"Where are His Highness and the Third Young Master?" Fan Yong asked happily.
The doorman was stunned and pleaded cautiously, "Please forgive me, my dear husband. I didn't know."
Fan Yong tossed a silver ingot to the doorman and walked straight back to the mansion, not forgetting to add one more sentence, "The third young master has passed the examination. Take it and have some tea! Go to Prince Ruihe's mansion and tell him that Prince Ruihe has also made the list."
The concierge was stunned for a moment when he received the silver reward from the Prince Consort, but after hearing the reason, he was also ecstatic. He bowed deeply to the Prince Consort's disappearing figure and said, "Congratulations to the Prince Consort, congratulations to His Highness, congratulations to the Third Young Master, and congratulations! I will go and report the news right away."
This was a great job! Prince Ruihe was always generous, and today was a great day. The concierge immediately found someone to help him guard the door and went to Prince Ruihe's mansion to report the news.
Fan Yong rushed directly to Menglin Courtyard. When he arrived, Zhao Lingmeng had just woken up and saw Fan Yong rushing in from outside.
Zhao Lingmeng asked curiously, "Why did you go out so early?"
"I went to check the list!" Fan Yong answered as he sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
After Fan Yong finished drinking the water, he saw Zhao Lingmeng sitting in front of the dressing mirror drawing her eyebrows, and did not ask any further questions.
"Aren't you going to ask about the outcome?"
Zhao Lingmeng casually replied, "That kid Fan Houyang is so close to failing the exam, don't let his hopes be written all over his face. What's the point of asking?"
"Hahaha, you all guessed wrong this time. They both passed the exam." Fan Yong was particularly proud at this moment.
Zhao Lingmeng put the eyebrow pencil on the table and turned around in surprise to look at Fan Yong who was drinking water again. "What did you say?"
Fan Yong smiled proudly at Zhao Lingmeng, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Yang'er passed the exam, and so did Prince Ruihe."
"Really?" Zhao Lingmeng really couldn't believe it at this time. This was a surprise.
Fan Yong nodded seriously, "I went to see it myself, how could I be wrong?"
After Fan Yong finished speaking to Zhao Lingmeng, he instructed Qiuyue, "Qiuyue, hurry down and get ready. The official with the good news will be here soon."
Qiuyue was also very happy to hear that the Third Young Master had actually passed the exam. She saluted happily and said, "Yes, my Lord, I will go down and prepare now."
Zhao Lingmeng was so happy that she was spinning around in the room. While spinning around, she did not forget to complain about the two kids being unreliable, and she swore that there was no hope at all.
Zhao Lingmeng turned around for a while, then calmed down and remembered to ask the others: "How did they rank?"
"Yang'er is at the bottom of the list, and Prince Ruihe is two places higher than Yang'er. It's enough to pass the exam, the ranking is not important." To put it bluntly, Fan Yong is just protecting his own son.
"Those two guys are lucky," Zhao Lingmeng said, only complaining. She was also happy. She shared the same sentiment as their Master Fan: just getting in was enough.
Zhao Lingmeng had just finished complaining when she saw Fan Houyang and his men rushing in. Even before he even bowed, he started asking, "Dad, Mom, I heard I passed the exam? Is that true?"
Zhao Lingmeng was no longer so friendly when she saw Fan Houyang. She even reached out and patted him on the shoulder before saying unhappily, "It's true. Your father went to see it in person early this morning."
Upon hearing this, Fan Houyang immediately looked at his father. Seeing his father nod, he also began to walk around the room.
Fan Yong covered his forehead with his hands in pain, "Stop turning around, I'm almost dizzy from you two."
When Fan Houyang heard his father say this, he immediately rushed over and hugged Fan Yong, who was still drinking tea, "Dad, you are so kind."
Fan Yong looked at the tea spilled on him, it seems that he needs to change his clothes today.
Fan Yong could only send the excited guy out. "Go outside and see if your cousin is here. He passed the exam too. You're ranked last, and your cousin is ranked third from the bottom. I'm going in to change."
Fan Houyang was even happier at this. His cousin had also passed the exam, and he felt his happiness was doubled. He saluted Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong in a daze, then went to the gate of the mansion to wait for his cousin, Yang Chengchen.
Fan Yong went straight into the inner room and changed into a more formal outfit. "Your Highness, what do you think of my outfit?"
"Very good, very nice!" Zhao Lingmeng was very happy as she looked at the handsome and elegant prince consort in front of her.
"I'm asking if it's grand enough?" The smile in Fan Yong's eyes was almost overflowing.
Zhao Lingmeng went up to Fan Yong and took his arm. "That's enough. Let's go out! We can have breakfast in the front yard."
Fan Yong nodded, and went to the front yard hand in hand with Zhao Lingmeng.
When Fan Yong and Zhao Ling dreamed about the front yard, Fan Houyang and Yang Chengchen were already waiting there. They were like ants on a hot pot, scurrying around in the garden.
