Wen Zhuangyuan wore a bright red robe and a gauze hat with peacock feathers on his head, while Wu Zhuangyuan wore a red robe covered with black leather armor and wore a purple gold crown with pheasant feathers on his head.
At the same time that the imperial edict was read out in the main hall, the gate of the academy opened, and the two imperial lists for the literary examination and the martial arts examination were escorted by the Jinwu guards in the palace and pasted on the two list columns.
The outside of the academy has long been crowded with people, just waiting for the Imperial List to be released.
People from Duke Dingguo's Palace and Duke Anguo's Palace also crowded in the square in front of the Academy. Their carriages stopped together, and they both sent their servants to watch.
In fact, the children of both families entered the palace in the morning. Both Mrs. Ning knew that their children must be in high school, but the imperial edict was not issued and the imperial list was not published, so they did not know which of the top three children they were.
"Sister, don't be nervous." Mrs. Dingguo held her eldest sister's hand, but she didn't know that her own hand was shaking slightly.
"You told me not to be nervous! Look at you!" Mrs. An Guogong laughed, "I am very happy that the three boys in my family can get into the top three in the exam! Look, at least he is not the top three."
Mrs. An Guogong and Mrs. Dingguo are biological sisters, but they rarely get together after they each married into the Duke's palace.
"I think your fifth son might be able to win the top prize!" Mrs. An Guogong said with a smile.
"My monkey doesn't cause trouble for me, I'm already thankful to God!" Although Mrs. Dingguo was looking forward to it in her heart, she didn't dare to say it!
The two sisters were talking in the carriage when they heard the crowd outside burst into excitement.
"The results are released, the results are released!" The maid waiting outside the carriage looked up, "Madam, the results are released!"
When the two ladies heard this, they squeezed out of the car at the same time. The two of them got stuck heavily on the car door. They both let out an ouch at the same time. Then the two of them looked at me and I looked at you. They couldn't help but laugh.
Laughed.
Mrs. An Guogong smiled and said, "Hurry up and let someone go and take a look."
"I've already gone to see you. Madam, don't worry. There are just too many people now. I'm afraid it will take some time to get back." The maid smiled outside the carriage.
Not long after, the two young men sent by the Duke's Mansion to look at the rankings crowded back together. The two of them saluted in front of the carriage at the same time, "Madam is very happy!"
"Tell me one by one!" Mrs. Dingguo said to the two boys. "You talk to your third son first." She said to the boy in An Guogong's mansion.
"Congratulations, Madam. Congratulations, Madam." The servant in Duke Anguo's Mansion said with joy on his face, "Our third son has won the third prize!"
Mrs. An Guogong was a little disappointed, but she was still very happy, "Let me tell you, that boy of mine is no good!" Although she scolded her, she could not suppress the joy in her eyes and the corners of her mouth.
"What about the fifth master of our family?" Mrs. Dingguo Gong asked as she looked at her young man.
"Madam is so happy!" The servant in Duke Dingguo's mansion was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "Our fifth master has won the top prize in martial arts!"
"What?" Mrs. Dingguo didn't believe it. She asked again, "Are you not dazzled?"
"Oh, madam, even if I borrow some courage, I won't dare to make a mistake!" The young man from Duke Dingguo's mansion said with a smile, "Our fifth master's name is at the top of the imperial list and the martial list.
What a name! Our family has a champion!"
"Oh my God!" Mrs. Dingguo let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly got out of the car.
"Are you in a hurry to go back to receive the imperial edict? It will take a long time for the official to announce the good news!" Mrs. An Guogong saw her sister hurriedly getting off the carriage back to Duke Ding's mansion, so
He smiled and said, "Please wait a minute, I haven't congratulated you yet!"
"Oh sister, we are all happy together!" Mrs. Dingguo Gong ran for a while and turned back to her sister and said, "Go back home and have a drink. I am very busy now!"
"What are you busy with!" Mrs. An Guogong leaned forward and asked, "Aren't you ready at home?" Since we were going to the main hall today, we had prepared incense tables and firecrackers at home. We were just waiting for the rankings to come out. These were all sent.
Useful.
"I have to go back and prepare to propose marriage!" Mrs. Dingguo laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth! "This brat can't run away now!"
"Who do you want to propose marriage to?" Mrs. Anguo was startled. When she asked, Mrs. Dingguo had already boarded her carriage and disappeared. "This guy has been married for so many years and has given birth to so many children.
It’s a baby, but it’s still not stable!” Mrs. An Guogong muttered and sat back in her carriage.
She thought about it, even Qin Rui, a veteran who had refused to get married for ten thousand years, had to find someone to propose marriage. Her third son was only one year younger than Qin Rui, so she would have to hurry up, otherwise she would be five years old.
Ten steps make you laugh at a hundred steps. When you look up, you can see that those hundred steps have already reached the end!
"No! I have to go back and look through the album!" Mrs. An Guogong asked her carriage to go back quickly, while muttering, "It makes no sense that a ruffian like Qin Rui in the capital can get a wife, but a nerd like mine can't!
"
Mrs. Fu was also waiting for news early in the morning.
After all, they are neighbors, and Qin Rui is still teaching Fu Lindong to learn martial arts. If Qin Rui can be the top scorer in high school, even if Fu Lindong goes out, his face will be bright!
Fu Lindong was in the study today as if there were nails on the stool, twisting and turning, looking out the window from time to time.
In fact, not only Fu Lindong, but all the children in the study were a little unable to sit still!
"Master, the No. 1 Scholar will be parading over in a moment. Can we go out and have a look?" Fu Lindong couldn't bear it any longer and stood up and asked.
The master glanced at him and said, "I don't think you have any intention to be here today. Instead of doing this, I might as well let you watch. However, there are many people, so you can only watch at the door of the study. Don't run around to avoid being crowded.
Step on it.”
"I know! Thank you so much, Master." Fu Lindong was ecstatic. After thanking him with fists in his hands, he and his friend walked out of the study door arm in arm.
Now there are many people standing scattered on the avenue, waiting for the No. 1 Scholar Parade to pass by here. Because this is Nanshi, it will take some time for the parade team to come, so Fu Lindong and the others came out and occupied it.
Good location.
After Qin Rui and the others changed into court clothes, they went to the main hall to thank them again and were about to be led on a parade.
Fu Mingyu looked at Qin Rui's figure. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Qin Rui was the most attractive among all the people. This good-looking person just took advantage!
"What? Are your eyes glued to someone else?" When the Queen Mother came out of the hall with Fu Mingyu, Fu Mingyu was still thinking about the way Qin Rui put on the dress of Wu Zhuangyuan just now. The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
Fu Mingyu suddenly came back to her senses, "The Queen Mother, I don't have any of you." She waved her hands in a panic.
"You were raised by the Ai family. Can't you tell how little you care about the Ai family?" the Queen Mother teased her, "If you didn't like it, you wouldn't even bother to droop your eyelids."
"Really not!" Fu Mingyu quickly shook her head. How could she explain to the Queen Mother that Qin Rui would actually disappear in the future, her whereabouts unknown, and her life or death unknown! She really didn't fall in love with Qin Rui, but thought Qin Rui was a
A good marriage partner... With Qin Rui here, she can avoid King Chen... If Qin Rui has someone he likes in the future, she will give up the throne immediately... Oh, she is thinking about all kinds of nonsense!
Fu Mingyu shook her head and tried hard to stop herself from thinking. King Chen hadn't forced her yet, so why did she want to go so far...
