After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

"What you said makes sense. Let's do as you think. I'm tired and want to rest."

"My son, please retire."

……

The day when the results of the Imperial Academy examination are announced.

Xie Baiyuan paced back and forth in the yard. He really wanted to know the result, but was afraid that he would not be able to accept it.

After Yun Zhihan learned about it, he went to his courtyard.

Her son is good in every way except that he gets easily anxious, especially when it comes to big exams like this one.

However, this cannot be entirely blamed on the child. He has been under pressure from the outside world since he was a child. Now that he has entered the Hanlin Academy, he still faces a small test every three days and a big test every five days. It is really difficult for him.

When Bai Yuan saw his mother coming, he bowed and said, "I greet you, mother."

"No need to be polite. The results of the Imperial Academy exam are announced today. Why is Yuan'er still wandering here?"

"Mother, my son, my son is scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I won't do well in the exam and will disappoint the Xie family's expectations."

"Nonsense!" Yun Zhihan interrupted, "Yuan'er has always been the pride of the Xie family, how can she be humiliated?"

"Yes, mother."

"Yuan'er, remember this: as long as you truly practice benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, the ancestors of the Xie family will definitely be proud of you."

"Yeah." Bai Yuan was very moved after hearing this.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "The eldest princess has arrived!"

Bai Yuan was stunned, and Yun Zhihan explained, "It was mother who asked the princess to come. I knew you would be hesitant, so I asked someone to help you."

"Hehe." Bai Yuan ran towards the gate happily.

"I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"No gift."

"Thank you princess."

"Thank you, Master. The county lady asked me to accompany you to read the imperial edict."

"Okay." He couldn't ask for more.

"Thank you, Madam. I'm leaving now. We can talk in detail next time."

"Farewell, Her Royal Highness."

Murong Yu received a letter from Mrs. Xie early this morning.

The letter urged her to go with Bai Yuan to the place where the results were posted to check the final results.

After learning the reason, Murong Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but without hesitation, she dressed up and rushed over.

When the two arrived at their destination and got off the carriage, they were almost shocked by the huge crowds of people.

"Aren't there only about 150 people taking the exam? Why are there so many people looking at the list?"

"Your Highness, not only are there ministers from the Imperial Academy here, but their families are also here."

"I see."

But in an instant, Murong Yu reacted. Brother Yuan mentioned family, so she was...

Thinking of this, her face turned red.

Seeing her like this, Xie Boyuan asked worriedly, "Is it too hot, Princess? How about you go and wait in the carriage, and I will go and see it myself. Princess, wait for me to come back."

"No!" Murong Yu refused, "I want to witness this important moment with Brother Yuan."

"Okay, be careful then."

Xie Boyuan held the princess's hand and squeezed towards the place where the notice was posted.

Most people are concentrated in the top few places on the imperial list, and since they can't squeeze in, they can only start from the last place.

A total of thirty people will be promoted in this Hanlin Academy examination, so the competition is very fierce.

But after searching around, Bai Yuan didn't even see the shadow of his own name, and he felt really panicked.

Murong Yu consoled him, "Don't worry, what if we rank among the top few? We can squeeze over there."

Bai Yuan nodded disappointedly. With his beloved here, he felt embarrassed to act so useless.

So, after some crowding, they finally arrived at the first list.

"Brother Yuan, look! You are the second place!"

"What?" Xie Baiyuan looked in the direction of the eldest princess. As expected, he had won the second place. His mood instantly became much brighter.

"I told you that you could do it. Now has it been proven that I was right?" Murong Yu asked proudly.

"Yes, Yu'er is my lucky star."

The two hugged each other, and Xie Boyuan was so moved that tears came to his eyes. He really wanted to tell his mother the news immediately.

But Yun Zhihan, who was far away at home, had already learned the news through the system.

"Hanhan, Yuan'er got second place in the exam. He is definitely an exam god. That day, he actually said that he didn't answer a single question and might bring disgrace to the family. Isn't that too Versailles?"

"That's right." Yun Zhihan was also very happy. "If it were in modern times, Yuan'er would definitely be envied to death."

"I just don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will fulfill his promise and let Yuan'er become the Minister of Personnel."

"It doesn't matter. That position will belong to Yuan'er sooner or later."

Yun Zhihan's thoughts had already drifted elsewhere at this moment.

She was thinking, if the conflict with the Southern Kingdom could be resolved peacefully, could the common people suffer less?

If this is the case, the only obstacle ahead is King Fenyang. Stopping him is equivalent to stopping the fight.

"Tongzi, do you think the South will let go of past grudges?"

"It's unlikely. After all, Du Yulang and Prince Fenyang have gone too far. If we don't take revenge, it will be difficult to dispel the hatred in their hearts."

"What if we hand over Prince Fenyang and let them deal with him as they please?"

"Do you want the Crown Prince to go to the Southern Kingdom to apologize? Tongzi thinks this is absolutely impossible, and the ministers in the court will never agree to such terms."

Yun Zhihan thought about it and felt that only a battle could solve the problem.

The prince apologizes? Is it really impossible?

Not long after, Xie Baiyuan returned home excitedly, and the first thing he did was to greet his mother.

"Mom, the results of my son's exam are out. Guess what place he ranked?"

Yun Zhihan saw that he was holding back a big move, and couldn't bear to expose him, so he could only hold back his laughter and guessed, "Looking at you like this, you must be on the list."

"Mom is so smart. My son got second place in the exam." Bai Yuan couldn't wait to tell the result.

"Wow! My son is truly an exceptional talent. If your father knew, he would be very proud of you."

"Yeah." Bai Yuan nodded proudly.

After the play was over, Yun Zhihan reminded, "You will be entering the palace in two days. No matter what official position you are given, Yuan'er must not get carried away. Do you understand?"

"Your son will follow your instructions!" Bai Yuan continued, "Mother, I heard that the emperor will personally confer official titles on those who pass the Imperial Academy exam."

"Well, that makes sense. After all, this also means that the court will have to reshuffle."

……

Two days later, Purple Gold Palace.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

"Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Today, the emperor dragged his heavy body and insisted on attending the morning court. He wanted to personally select reliable ministers for his son to assist him and ensure that the Great Zhou Dynasty could continue for thousands of generations.

"The Imperial Academy exam is over. After reading the essays written by you, I am very pleased. In such a short period of time, your knowledge has improved day by day. This is a blessing for the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Today, I will personally confer titles and awards to the thirty ministers of the Hanlin Academy."
