Song Yan'er looked at the clothes in her hands and was very satisfied:
"Wow, I didn't expect you could make clothes like this. You're just like you were in my past life!"
The old lady disagreed: "Of course, I've spent so many years in the palace, I've seen so many clothes, so naturally I know how to dress!"
Song Yan'er said with a fawning smile, "Grandma, you're a genius! I could watch for years and still not be able to make a single garment like this!"
It's possible that when God opens a door for you, He closes a window. Song Yan'er really doesn't have much talent when it comes to making clothes and styling hair!
My hair is always styled with just one hairpin!
The old lady looked genuinely tired: "Alright, you've taken the clothes, hurry back! I need to take a nap and rest!"
Song Yan'er: "Okay, then you should rest first!"
On her way back, when no one was around, Song Yan'er put the clothes in her spatial storage, thinking about when Xiao Yang would put them on her!
I was originally planning to wear it today, but tomorrow is the palace examination, and I can't be disturbed. It would be embarrassing if I couldn't get up and wear it tomorrow!
Forget it, let's wait and see. He's already agreed! Xiao Yang is a gentleman after all!
We truly keep our word and never make empty promises!
Until that night, when the two were lying in bed!
Xiao Yang: "Sister, didn't you say you'd see how I did tonight? What? Gone chicken?"
Song Yan'er: "Little brother, you know you have the imperial examination tomorrow! I'll let you off the hook for now, we'll talk about it after the examination. Besides, you haven't made me the wife of the top scholar yet."
Xiao Yang looked on expectantly: "Sister, this shouldn't have anything to do with the top scorer, right? Besides, if we take it easy, it won't affect tomorrow! I promise!"
Song Yan'er rolled her eyes in the darkness. Was this guy just driven mad by lust?
"Hey bro, it's okay! Maybe it'll be even more exciting if you get the top score! Alright, stop thinking about it and go to sleep! I'm not worried, why are you? Isn't there plenty of time?"
Xiao Yang...
Why does that sound so awkward?
However, Xiao Yang could clearly sense that Song Yan'er had no desire whatsoever!
Forget it!
Let's just be honest!
...
the next day
Xiao Yang arrived at the palace gate very early, waiting with the other candidates to enter the palace for the examination!
"Are you cold?"
Despite the cold weather today, Song Yan'er insisted on coming to see Xiao Yang off to the exam despite his objections!
Song Yan'er: "I'm fine! Husband, were you nervous?"
It's normal to feel a bit nervous when exams are approaching, but this is like being on Xiao Yang's turf. I wonder if he'll be any different!
Xiao Yang raised an eyebrow: "Why should I be nervous? It should be the person who sets the exam questions who's nervous. Don't worry, you're definitely going to be the top scholar's wife! Just think of a way to reward me!"
When Xiao Yang said this, he was beaming with pride, as if the top scholar's position was rightfully his! He exuded boundless confidence and charm!
Song Yan'er looked at the young man in front of her. Although there were many people standing at the palace gate, he always stood out and exuded an aura that could not be ignored!
Xiao Yang watched as his wife started swooning over him again, and his lips trembled slightly!
Honestly, every time Xiao Yang saw Song Yan'er swooning over him, he couldn't understand how such a smart woman could be so shallow as to only like good-looking men!
"Sister, snap out of it, I'm going in now. You should go home and get some more sleep! Wait for my good news!"
He slowly lowered his head and placed a kiss on Song Yan'er's forehead.
"Sister, a lucky kiss!"
Song Yan'er...
It's entirely possible for this little kid to become the top student, given his exceptional learning ability!
After ten years of hard study, all for this one year, Song Yan'er didn't dare to throw a tantrum at Xiao Yang!
Looking at the people already queuing to enter the palace in the distance:
"Husband, keep going! Go in quickly. It doesn't matter if you're the top scholar or not. Don't push yourself too hard!"
Xiao Yang was slightly taken aback:
"Does my sister not believe me?"
Song Yan'er...
I don't want you to be under too much pressure!
Xiao Yang raised his hand and patted Song Yan'er's head:
"Sister, don't worry, apart from you making me feel pressured, I haven't felt pressured anywhere else!"
Song Yan'er...
Okay, you're awesome!
Xiao Yang was at the very back of the line. This time, unlike the previous exams, there was no body search! But it made sense, since all the participants this time were now successful candidates in the imperial examinations, not just ordinary successful candidates in the provincial examinations. The worst one to emerge from here would be a reserve official for the imperial court!
The exam was held in the main hall where the emperor held court. This time, the exam was a little different from the previous ones. In the past, there was only one question, and everyone had to answer it on the spot to determine the top three!
Then the Emperor himself would set the questions to determine A, B, and C!
This time, the quiz actually included two questions, and the test takers could choose one of them to answer!
Upon seeing the questions, Xiao Yang had a feeling that this might be a test set for him by his imperial uncle!
They are all from the eight-legged essay, and Xiao Yang is best at the eight-legged essay!
So Xiao Yang solved both problems!
However, since he was aiming for the top score, Xiao Yang didn't hold back at all!
Because there weren't many candidates, the results were in less than an hour!
The top three all answered both questions! This made the other candidates accept their defeat wholeheartedly, since they were already grateful to have finished one question in such a short time, and they never expected that someone would finish both!
Among the top three, Xiao Yang is one, another is Zhuang Zhen, the son of the Grand Tutor, and the third is surprisingly a student from a poor family!
For many years, no student from a poor family in the Western Shu Kingdom has been able to rank among the top three in the imperial examinations!
It's not that students from poor families are bad, but compared to students from official families or wealthy families, the vision of students from wealthy families is indeed somewhat lacking!
It's inevitable that it's difficult for children from poor families to rise above their circumstances!
So when Xiao Yang saw the man beside him, he was slightly taken aback, but he quickly recovered and started talking to him!
"Brother, were you nervous just now? I was doing my homework when I looked up and saw the Emperor standing in front of me! It really gave me a fright! Did you see him? The Emperor! It's the first time I've ever seen the Emperor! Hey, you know what, I suddenly feel like you and the Emperor look a bit alike!"
Feng Liulang was already nervous, so he wanted to chat with the two people with him to calm his excited heart! But looking at the unapproachable expression on his left, Feng Liulang chose Xiao Yang on his right, who seemed a little more approachable!
But as they talked, Feng Liulang suddenly realized that Xiao Yang looked somewhat like the emperor he had just seen. Remembering that this was the capital, a place truly teeming with hidden talents, Feng Liulang's curiosity waned. After all, curiosity killed the cat!
