Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System
Chapter 59: The Prodigal Scholar vs. His Enemy Childhood Sweetheart (22)
The day of the palace examination in April finally arrived. In previous years, Lingxiao Kingdom had arranged the palace examination to be held in the Baohe Hall.
The eunuch who led them to Lingxiao Kingdom was Eunuch Zhao, the apprentice of the emperor's personal eunuch.
After entering the hall, Eunuch Zhao led Ye Lingxiao to the first table in the center of the left side.
Eunuch Zhao bowed hastily and lowered his voice to please.
"Your Majesty, please sit here. I wish you success in the palace examination."
"Thank you, Eunuch Zhao, for your kind words."
Ye Lingxiao smiled slightly and nodded to Eunuch Zhao.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Followed by a loud announcement.
The entire Baohedian Hall fell silent in an instant.
All the scholars stood up and saluted, shouting, "Long live the emperor!"
Emperor Ling Xiaohan, wearing a dragon robe, walked slowly into the hall, sat high on the dragon throne, and scanned the scholars in the hall with his sharp eyes.
He raised his hand slightly, motioning for everyone to stand up, and then spoke.
"You are all the pillars of our Lingxiao Nation. You are gathered here today for the future of our country. I hope you can show your strengths and live up to my expectations."
After some encouragement, the emperor announced the official start of the palace examination.
The scholars picked up their pens and began to answer the questions.
Emperor Ling Xiaohan looked at the nervous or confident faces of his young scholars, and couldn't help feeling gratified.
However, when his eyes inadvertently swept over his eldest nephew, he saw him winking at him.
That means, "Uncle, don't forget it."
The emperor only felt a throbbing pain in his temple.
"This kid is really..." the emperor said in his heart.
Then he remembered the scene when Ye Lingxiao came to see him a few days ago.
That day, Ye Lingxiao spoke to him in the imperial study with a serious look on his face.
"Uncle, the girl I like wants to be the wife of the top scholar. I must get this position. If I can't marry her by the sixth day of May, I will rely on you, uncle."
At that time, I glared at him unhappily.
He replied, "Let's talk about it after you pass the palace examination." Then he sent him away.
Unexpectedly, he was called by the Queen Mother to have dinner that day.
The Queen Mother wiped her tears and said to him, "My poor grandson, you have been killed by evil people and have no descendants. You have been in a daze for so long. Now you are finally willing to make progress and get married. If you can't become the top scholar, I will not agree."
The emperor's eyes twitched at that time.
Doesn’t the Empress know how talented this boy is?
If he wanted to take the top exam, he would have passed it long ago! Now that such a big event has been made, how much does he care about that girl?
Thinking of this, the emperor stroked his forehead and felt really embarrassed.
After Ye Lingxiao made his intentions known to the emperor, he began to answer the questions seriously.
The palace examination went exceptionally smoothly, and Ye Lingxiao's writing became more and more creative.
When asked for advice in the palace, he was able to quote from classics and make extensive references.
Finally, the palace examination ended and the scholars left one after another.
When Ye Lingxiao walked out of Baohedian, he felt relieved and full of anticipation, as the sixth day of May was almost here.
* **
On the first day of May, as the morning light broke, the capital city was immersed in joy.
Today is the ceremony of announcing the names of successful candidates, and it is also the day when the new successful candidates receive their official titles from the imperial court.
Princess Jinxuan brought Liu Qianyu early in the morning and rode in a gorgeous carriage, slowly driving towards the Zichen Bookstore on Chang'an Street.
This is one of her properties in the capital city, with an excellent location, facing the Imperial Street, and is the best place to watch the ceremony of praising officials.
Princess Jinxuan and Liu Qianyu walked into the store hand in hand.
The bookstore is extraordinarily elegant, and the private rooms are well-prepared with exquisite snacks and fragrant tea.
"Qianyu, from today on, you will be my daughter-in-law."
Princess Jinxuan held Liu Qianyu's hand, her eyes full of love and expectation.
"In five days she will be married to our Duke Dingguo's mansion."
Liu Qianyu's cheeks blushed, "Princess..."
"Why are you still calling me Princess? You should call me mother instead."
"The Duke and I are really grateful to you. Xiao'er seems to be reborn now. He is no longer as lifeless as before and always does ridiculous things."
Princess Jinxuan really likes and is grateful to Liu Qianyu, and hopes that the two of them will get married soon.
Although they cannot have their own children, it is better for them to have each other's company than to let Xiaoer be lonely for the rest of his life.
When Liu Qianyu heard this, her cheeks turned even redder and she called softly, "Mother..."
"Oh, my dear daughter."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Just then, there was a burst of noise coming from outside the door, mixed with the girls' laughter.
Princess Jinxuan and Liu Qianyu walked to the window and saw that the street was already crowded with people.
Many girls waiting to be married were dressed up beautifully and stood on the street with full of anticipation.
Many people hope to find an ideal husband on this day of official promotion.
"Good news! The young master has been chosen as the top scholar! He is riding his horse towards Chang'an Street right now!"
Xi Bao ran up breathlessly, with red eyes, and without even bothering to greet, she loudly announced the good news.
Princess Jinxuan and Liu Qianyu's eyes lit up when they heard this and they looked outside.
In the distance, a ceremonial guard was seen approaching slowly, ringing gongs to clear the way.
The ceremonial officer holding the imperial edict walked in front, followed by the three Jinshi candidates on horseback - the top scorer, the second place and the third place.
People on the street flocked to the roadside, vying to witness this rare spectacle.
Liu Qianyu stood by the window and saw from afar the handsome top scholar riding a white horse surrounded in the middle.
He was dressed in a bright red official uniform and a black gauze hat with its brim fluttering. With his straight nose and handsome features, he looked even more elegant and refined like a man of letters.
The young ladies on both sides of Chang'an Street were amazed at the number one scholar's extraordinary handsome face.
Flowers and sachets were thrown at him like raindrops.
But the top scholar did not look away, nor did he glance to the side, and he paid no attention to their cheers and the flower sachets they threw at him.
He pursed his lips slightly, revealing a cold and inviolable aura.
The girls were attracted to him involuntarily and followed him all the way.
When the team arrived in front of the Zichen Bookstore, they saw the top scholar looking up, his eyes passing through the bustling crowd and looking upstairs.
At that moment, his eyes were instantly filled with tenderness, as if the whole world had stopped.
Everyone followed the top scholar's gaze.
I saw a girl standing in front of the window upstairs.
She was wearing an elegant moon-white dress, her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, her eyes were like stars, her nose was as white as goose fat, her lips were red, her teeth were white, her hair was like clouds and her face was like flowers, she looked like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.
Against the backdrop of spring light, she looks even more beautiful and charming.
When Ye Lingxiao saw his little girl, a smile appeared on his lips. He gently tightened the reins, allowing the majestic white horse to slowly stop.
He sat on the horse, his posture straight as a pine tree, his dark eyes smiling.
He mouthed to the fairy-like girl upstairs, "You are my number one wife!"
The beauty upstairs smiled at him and mouthed, "Brother, I love you."
Ye Lingxiao only felt his heart burning and beating "thump thump" non-stop.
He wished he could dismount at this moment, run upstairs, and hug her darling child tightly in his arms.
At this time, the third scholar behind him urged him in a tactless manner, "First Scholar, keep going forward."
Ye Lingxiao turned his head and glared at Tanhua fiercely.
The third place winner was so frightened by his murderous look that he almost fell off his horse.
Ye Lingxiao turned around and his expression changed instantly. He looked at the girl upstairs with a gentle face and mouthed back.
"Jiao Jiao, brother loves you, wait for me."
He looked at the little girl deeply before continuing on his horse.
