Hua Yanxi didn't know that Ye Yibai had such thoughts in his heart, but she paid special attention to his emotions for several days in a row, fearing that he would collapse because of this failure.
Ye Yibai also clearly felt that Hua Yanxi had become particularly easy to talk to, so he made mistakes, pretended to be hopeless in life from time to time, got distracted from time to time, and acted miserably, but he got a lot of advantages.
On the day when the results were released, Hua Yanxi accompanied Ye Yibai to watch them.
The college's results are always posted on a sign at the entrance of the college, which can also be seen by passers-by.
Before it was time to release the results, a lot of people had already gathered in front of the sign.
Some are pure busybodies whose hobbies include inquiring.
Some are family members of the candidates, and some candidates are thin-skinned and are embarrassed to come on their own, fearing that they will be recognized if they do not do well in the exam and make a joke.
Some have daughters at home and want to find a suitable man here. After all, those who can study in this college are those who have real and practical knowledge. Maybe the next number one scholar will come from here.
It was very lively for a while.
Hua Yanxi did not join others in the crowd, but opened a private room in the teahouse opposite, where she and Ye Yibai had breakfast while waiting for the results to be released.
Not long after, the door of the college opened and the person who posted the results came out.
The big sign not only posted the list of candidates' scores, but also posted all the examination papers for the top three candidates for everyone's reference.
Hua Yanxi sent someone down to check the results, while she stared at Ye Yibai.
Seeing that he wasn't worried at all, I felt relieved and at the same time I couldn't help but feel glad that the loss was abnormal, otherwise I might have been too nervous. I hoped that if his results were not satisfactory later, he would stop being excited.
The guards of the Prince's Mansion were very skilled and managed to squeeze their way to the front of the crowd. They were shocked when they saw the ranking above.
I was so excited that I didn't even bother to enter the private room. I stood directly outside the sign and shouted to the private room upstairs: "Master, Master, the results are out. You are the first, first-class, and all subjects are first-class."
!”
The voice was so powerful that not only the people in the private room heard it, but even the bustling crowd that was originally crowded in front of the sign were shocked by the voice.
Some people hurriedly looked at Yijia's name, while others followed the guards' gaze and looked towards the private room on the second floor.
I saw the window of the private room opened wide and a woman walked out.
The woman had a beautiful appearance and a pure temperament. She was looking at the guard with some surprise: "Are you sure you read that right?"
"Yes, it's the name of the master." The guard put his hands on his hips, his face full of pride, and smiled so hard that he seemed to be the one who won the first place.
Not long after, Ye Yibai also leaned in front of the window, propped himself up, shook his head and said: "These classmates are too weak, and they even made me get the first place."
On the surface, he was saying that his classmates were not good enough, but the rising tone of his words made it sound like he was showing off to Hua Yanxi.
Hua Yanxi also knew that her worries this time were in vain.
"Ye Yibai, his surname is Ye, he should be from the royal family, but people from the royal family can't give out their names casually, right?"
"Perhaps it is a side branch of the decline of the royal family. If the royal family is really serious, they are not allowed to rely on the imperial examination."
The person looking at the list said.
"Is that the man leaning on the window sill on the second floor? Why does that mask look so familiar? Isn't this the stupid fifth prince... the fifth prince?"
"Isn't he like that? How could he be the first in the exam?"
Many people recognized Ye Yibai's identity. After all, his mask was a symbol in the capital.
"Is it possible that he has recovered?" someone speculated.
Not long after, someone released the news that not only was the stupid prince not stupid, but he also ranked first in the examination.
The day after the results were released was the day when the imperial court was preparing to select salt merchants, and the location was set in the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue.
Originally, many people had registered with the Ministry of Accounts, but a group of them had been eliminated before. Now there are only six candidates present, including Hua Yanxi.
The other five people have already arrived and taken their seats, testing each other back and forth.
When Hua Yanxi entered the door, everyone looked at her with a bit of astonishment and surprise in their eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Hua Shao said with a hint of displeasure in his tone, and even more disgust in his eyes.
Hua Yun'er was tortured in prison to the point where she was neither a human nor a ghost. When she was rescued, she kept muttering something in a mysterious manner. In this state, she couldn't be sent to the Lin family for a while.
Hua Yanxi smiled and said: "Father can come, why can't I come?"
"What a joke, can you compete with me? You are not a woman who can come here. Leave quickly. I don't want to see you now."
Hua Yanxi sat down in a comfortable position: "I'm afraid this is not something that father can decide. I am here to participate in the selection. If father doesn't like it, he can only endure it."
"Just you? Don't make yourself laughable by participating in the selection." Hua Shao sneered.
"Who stipulates that women cannot participate in the selection? Maybe, the winner of this selection will be me? If my father is willing, he can cooperate with me." Hua Yanxi said, looking at Hua Shao with a smile: "
Father, there are a total of six people here, and since both of us are from the Hua family, the winning rate will be much higher, so we have to be consistent in dealing with the outside world."
Hua Yanxi started to pour dirty water on Hua Shao without any burden.
Hua Shao didn't believe Hua Yanxi could win at all, let alone want to form an alliance with Hua Yanxi, but others did.
Upon hearing what Hua Yanxi said, several people who had originally planned to cooperate with Hua Shao immediately took precautions as if they were a team.
Hua Shao was originally sitting opposite Hua Yanxi's seat, but was pushed directly to the seat next to Hua Yanxi by several people. Hua Shao was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only glare at Hua Yanxi fiercely.
Hua Yanxi said like an old god: "It's better for my father to be closer to me. We can make a good plan."
"Shut up!" Hua Shao said angrily.
Hua Yanxi had an "I understand" expression and looked around the four of them again. She seemed to be saying, "Father is right. There are many people here with mixed ears. Let's talk about any secrets in private."
Hua Shao turned away angrily. No one spoke to him, and he felt very depressed.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before people came outside.
This matter is a matter of confidentiality. Ordinary household clerks are not qualified to enter. Even those who serve tea and water are senior household officials.
The Seventh Prince, Ye Juechen, participated in this assessment together with the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and the content of the assessment was kept confidential and could not be divulged.
Ye Juechen glanced at Hua Yanxi when he walked in. He only knew that Hua Yanxi would be involved in this incident when he got the list. Although he already knew, he was still a little surprised to actually see her.
Seeing her sitting close to Hua Shao, she naturally thought that Hua Yanxi and Hua Shao's father and daughter were together.
