The next day.

In the morning the sun rises from behind the mountains, illuminating the earth with its soft golden light.

The flowers in the garden were covered with dew, and were illuminated by the sun like grains of yellow gold.

Si Mubai was dressed in white and walked through the flowers. There was no Jiang Zhao by his side. His expression was always cold, as if he was not to be approached by strangers.

He walked among the flowers, like a gentleman among flowers, making the flowers in the garden look colorless.

Jiang Zhao was still sleeping in the room at this time, with her eyes closed tightly on her fair face. The sunlight shone on her face through the window, making her face somewhat transparent and illusive.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, destroying the silence in the room.

But the person on the bed just turned over and had no intention of waking up.

There were two more knocks on the door, and Si Mubai's voice also came from outside: "Tianran, it's time to get up, we have to go out for a parade later."

Jiang Zhao on the bed frowned and slowly opened her eyes, but the sunlight was a bit dazzling, so she closed her eyes again.

He answered Si Mubai outside: "I know, I'll get up."

His voice still sounded like he had just woken up.

Jiang Zhao got up and washed up. He didn't wear the women's clothes from yesterday, he was still wearing men's clothes.

When he opened the door, he found that Si Mubai was still waiting for him outside.

Jiang Zhao asked: "Why don't you go there first?"

Si Mubai smiled and said, "It's okay anyway, I'll just wait for you to come with us."

He himself didn't realize that as long as he was with Jiang Zhao, he would have a smile on his face.

But if he is with others, he has a face of ice, making people afraid to approach him.

When they arrived at the dining room, Wei Xiang and Jiu Qi were already waiting for them to have breakfast.

Jiuqi called her over to eat quickly: "Master, young lady, come over and eat quickly, we have to go to the staff department later."

Jiang Zhao nodded and hurried over to eat.

During the meal, Jiuqi asked Wei Xiang: "Brother Wei, the young master and the young lady will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to prepare for a parade later. What are you going to do?"

Wei Xiang said without thinking: "Watch them parade in the street."

Jiuqi nodded and said: "In a while, we will find a good seat to watch the young master and the others parade."

After finishing the meal, the group rushed to the staff department in a hurry.

Du Yuebin had already changed into his auspicious clothes and was waiting in the side hall. The number one scholar was not yet here, so he could not go on parade by himself.

After Jiang Zhao and Simubai arrived, the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs brought out two sets of bright red auspicious clothes for them to change into so that they could go out for a parade later.

Jiang Zhao took his own clothes and looked at the clothes on Si Mubai and Du Yuebin. He found that his clothes were redder and looked more gorgeous than those of them.

Si Mubai also took his clothes, and the two went to the inner hall to change clothes. Du Yuebin sat on a chair and waited.

He drank the tea brought by the official, the look in his eyes was bright and clear, no one knew what he was thinking.

As soon as the parade passed, everyone in the world knew that the number one winner in the palace examination was Jiang Zhao, a woman.

He originally wanted to stop it, but his father told him to wait. If he wanted to destroy people, he must first make them crazy.

While he was drinking tea, Jiang Zhao and Simubai had already changed into their auspicious clothes and came out.

Jiang Zhao's imperial uniform for the number one scholar has embroidered python patterns running through the entire garment. The jade belt around his waist is extremely luxurious, and he also wears a gold-flowered black gauze hat on his head.

As for Simubai's auspicious clothes, they have many more elements than Jiang Zhao's auspicious clothes. There are no python patterns on them, but some auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes are embroidered on them. Even the jade on the jade belt looks better than Jiang Zhao's jade belt.

The jade is much different, and even the black gauze hat on the head does not have the feeling of glittering gold gauze.

When Du Yuebin wasn't paying attention, Jiang Zhao secretly looked at the Jifu he was wearing.

The auspicious beast Qilin is soaring into the clouds embroidered on his auspicious clothes, and the black gauze hat on his head is slightly worse than hers.

Du Yuebin also took a look at Jiang Zhao's Jifu, with a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.

That auspicious dress should belong to him. How qualified is Jiang Zhao, a woman, to wear this auspicious dress?

If it weren't for Jiang Zhao, he would be the one wearing this auspicious uniform today. He would be the number one scholar in the Tianyu Dynasty and be the envy of the world.

But all this was ruined by Jiang Zhao.

Thinking of this, Du Yuebin's face turned colder.

The three people's auspicious clothes had been changed, but there was still some time before the auspicious time, so the officials asked them to sit in this pavilion to drink tea and rest first, and then go out for a parade after the auspicious time came.

Jiang Zhao picked up a cup of tea, opened the lid and was about to drink it. The aroma of tea coming from the tureen was very refreshing.

She took a sip and felt the fragrance of the tea lingering on her lips and teeth.

Jiang Zhao thought that if this tea was placed in her previous life, it would definitely be popular.

While she was drinking tea, a figure walked into the pavilion.

Jiang Zhao raised his eyes and saw that the person coming was none other than Gu Hongyuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs who he had met in Kyoto Prefecture before.

The three of them stood up together, cupped their hands and said, "I have met Mr. Gu."

Gu Hongyuan nodded with a smile: "Sit down, you all can sit down."

"I just came over to see how your preparations are."

As he said that, he looked at the three of them. All three of them were wearing bright red auspicious clothes and black gauze hats with gold flowers on their heads. They looked very energetic.

"You are all the pillars of our Tianyu Dynasty. In the future, the burden in the hands of us old guys will be handed over to your hands."

Jing Huarong came from a family of military generals and was naturally at odds with these civil servants.

Jiang Zhao was worried that Gu Hongyuan, like the ministers in the court, would look down on his status as a woman and would not speak out.

Among the three of them, only Si Mubai and Gu Hongyuan were relatively close to each other, but apart from talking a lot to Jiang Zhao, Si Mubai talked very little to anyone else.

So the three of them raised their hands together and said, "Master Gu, you are joking."

"You don't have to be so rigid. Just relax. From now on, we will all be colleagues. We will take care of each other in the officialdom."

Gu Hongyuan smiled very easy-going and spoke very easy-going.

The three of them nodded in agreement.

Gu Hongyuan looked at Jiang Zhao, walked over and patted Jiang Zhao on the shoulder: "Tianran, you are the first person in our Tianyu Dynasty to be given a title by His Majesty despite being from a humble family."

"You are the first female champion in our Tianyu Dynasty again. You must serve the imperial court well in the future and do not let down His Majesty's hard work for you."

Gu Hongyuan said to Jiang Zhao with seriousness and sincerity, just like an elder giving advice to a younger generation.

Jiang Zhao naturally nodded in agreement, but what she didn't expect was that she originally thought that Gu Hongyuan would look down on her womanhood like other ministers, but she didn't expect that Gu Hongyuan would still get along with her as he did when they first met.

Gu Hongyuan sat for a while in the side hall, looked at the water leak outside, and said: "The auspicious time has come, you should go parade in the street quickly, it will be bad if you miss the auspicious time."

The three of them stood up, said goodbye to Gu Hongyuan, walked out of the side hall, and prepared to go on a parade.
