A few days later, the big exam in the study room came as scheduled.

All the princes and princesses sat down in the palace early, even the fourth princess Ming Xiao who had been sick for a long time did not dare to come.She came later than Ming Tan, and as soon as she crossed the threshold, she gave the latter a hard look. With a gloomy face, she took a few steps to her seat and sat down, even ignoring her brother Ming Xuan's accusations.

Ming Tan sneered and didn't care, but Ming Zhao, who was sitting with her, was a little uneasy, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu, Fourth Imperial Sister..."

"Whatever she does."

Ming Tan shrugged his shoulders, and turned the "Mencius" in his hand to Ming Zhao, "Miss Zhao Zhao has time to think wildly, why don't you help me find out what Yasheng really means by saying this?"

After Ming Tan's kindness, Ming Zhao has become very familiar with this Nine Emperor Sister.Hearing her question like this, I had no choice but to put aside my wild thoughts for a while, and patiently explained to Ming Tan: "Mencius' words should be understood in this way..."

The spring exam is divided into two sessions in the morning and in the afternoon. In the morning, there is a written exam. The Imperial Academy and the Imperial College jointly set questions. It mainly tests the students' familiarity and mastery of the Four Books.

In the afternoon, it was the emperor who came in person to have a question-and-answer session with the princes and princesses.The scope of the examination will be limited to everyone's classics. Although the content is much less, the difficulty has been raised to a higher level, which is more tense than the morning examination paper.

The emperor has always attached great importance to the education of his children.Therefore, many people have already worked hard, just waiting to show their faces in front of the emperor.

However, the companions of each family do not need to work as hard as the Highnesses - they are staying at home comfortably at this time, taking a free day to rest and bathe, and do not have to participate in this spring exam.

The small thing in his hand kept spinning, and the shoes lightly stepped on the floor again and again. Ming Tan's eyes wandered, and he listened to Ming Zhao's adoring professor absent-mindedly, and his mind was still murmuring non-stop.

Why is Sister Zhaozhao talking so long-winded... I could understand a little bit at first, but now the more I listen, the more I don't understand it.

Sure enough, Lin Shurong still has two brushes.

Reluctantly, she praised the Great Demon King in her heart, and was about to yawn when she saw Mr. Qin enter the hall with a stack of papers in his arms, and stood still after speaking the case.

"There is still a stick of incense before the start of the big exam. Please sit back in your highness, study ink and prepare pens, waiting for the old man to release the paper."

Everyone moved in response to the sound and sat down properly.

Mr. Qin looked around the hall, stroked his beard with his hand, looked very satisfied and said: "Since everyone is ready, the old man will start to unwind the paper!"

Started with slightly yellowish paper, spread it flat on the table.Ming Tan turned his pen around, quickly scanned the text on the test paper, and found that it was simpler than he imagined.

Today's son always pays attention to learning, and after he ascended the throne, he opened up Enke to select talents.Shangshufang is deeply aware of the sacred meaning, and dare not neglect it when teaching the princes and princesses, so he selected talented people from the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College early in order to write questions for this spring exam.

However, perhaps these talented people considered that the levels of His Highnesses would vary, so they were more lenient when making propositions.

Not only are the filling-in-the-blank questions like the scriptures simple, but even the two big questions, which are similar to reading comprehension and time affairs strategies, are similar to propositional composition, which seem to be very easy to do.

——Anyway, Ming Tan found it easy to attack.

After thinking about it in her mind, she lazily picked up the pen and began to write slowly on the test paper.

no way.The brush is not used to it, and if you don't take it seriously, it's like a dog crawling. She doesn't want to be deducted points for rolling the noodles.

……

As time passed, most of the long incense burnt on the case burned.

Ming Yao has always been eager to learn, and this time he was the first to hand in the paper as usual.Mr. Qin briefly glanced at the fifth prince's answer, stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction, presumably he would get a fairly high ranking.

He put Ming Yao's test paper away, looked up and looked around, and just as he was about to guess who would be the second to hand in the test paper, a figure that no one expected stood up slowly.

Ming Zhao adjusted the hem of his skirt uneasily, lowered his head, walked slowly to the lecturer, and handed in the test paper that he had finished answering.

"First, sir..."

Mr. Qin froze for a moment, took it as if waking up from a dream, gave a rare "oh" twice, and praised: "The third princess answered very quickly today."

Ming Zhao nodded with a blushing face, turned around and ran back to his seat.Ming Tan in the front row turned his face and smiled encouragingly at her, which made Ming Zhao feel even more embarrassed.

Because of the noble mother and concubine Ying, she has always kept a low profile.Even though I finished the questions early in previous years, I have never dared to be the second student who handed in the papers in advance like today...

After Ming Zhao handed in the paper, no one came forward for a while, the long incense on the table continued to burn, and the elegant sandalwood smoked out of the room, and it seemed that it was about to bottom out.

Ming Tan didn't seem to notice anything, still buried his head, finishing his composition stroke by stroke.

On the contrary, Mingxuan and Mingxiao looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and handed in their papers.

At the same time, the long incense burnt out, Mr. Qin glanced at Ming Tan who had finally stopped writing, coughed lightly and reminded: "The time is up, can the Ninth Princess finish the answer?"

"It's over."

Ming Tan blew the ink on the paper in satisfaction, and was about to get up, when Ming Xiao, who turned the paper back, came towards her, raised the corners of her lips, and showed a malicious sneer at Ming Tan.

In the next second, with a flick of her sleeves, the inkstone at the corner of Mingtan's desk was overturned, and it was turned upside down on the latter's test paper!

"—!"

Ming Tan didn't expect that the other party would use such an obvious trick, and she succeeded unexpectedly.The ink soon soaked deeply, polluting the entire paper, not to mention the answers she wrote so hard, even the questions written with the ink pen could no longer be seen clearly.

"Oh! Sister Nine Emperors, what's going on with you?"

Ming Xiao's tone sounded surprised and innocent, but the word "contempt" was clearly written on his face, and he opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Why did you overturn a good inkstone?"

"..."

Ming Tan's face was gloomy, and he raised his eyes coldly, meeting Ming Xuan's eyes behind her.

The fourth prince is the oldest and tall, and his position behind his sister is quite ingenious, just blocking Mr. Qin's sight.

No wonder Ming Xiao would be so confident, raising his voice meant that the villain would sue first.

The test paper has been completely discarded, and the black ink is still dripping down the table, staining the snow-white dress.

Mingtan knew that Mingxiao was waiting for her to get angry, so that he could put another label on himself of "wronging the emperor's sister wronged for no reason".She withdrew her gaze, threw the writing brush in her hand, and still said nothing, but took steps on her feet, and came to Mr. Qin in a few steps.

"Princess Ninth, what happened..."

Mr. Qin didn't know why, and was about to ask in detail, but Ming Tan raised his eyebrows, and grabbed the test paper that the brother and sister had just handed in——

Then without blinking an eye, he tore the two pieces of paper to shreds.

"Ah! My test paper!"

Ming Xiao recognized her handwriting in the fragment at a glance, screamed, and rushed forward to fight Ming Tan, "How dare you - you bitch!"

Mingxuan's test paper was also brutally murdered.He took a deep breath and was furious, as if he was about to step forward and teach Ming Tan a lesson with his sister.

However, as soon as he took a step, Ming Yao stretched out his hand to stop Ming Xuan, and said coldly: "Brother Sihuang, don't be impulsive!"

Ming Xuan's eyes were red with anger, and he slapped Ming Yao's arm with his hands, and roared, "Why are you stopping me? She tore up my paper too!"

Ming Yao frowned in pain, but his arm didn't move at all.He glanced at Mingxuan coldly, and simply stretched out his hand to clamp the other's shoulder, not to let the latter move a little bit.

"Mingxuan, calm down!" Ming Yao lowered his voice and yelled at him, "The Ninth Princess is the concubine's daughter in the middle palace, the most beloved daughter of the father! ——As an elder brother, if you dare to touch her, you will not be afraid Are you making Concubine Ning angry? Make Ming Xiao stop soon!"

Ming Xuan was startled, and subconsciously turned her head to look.

I saw that Ming Xiao had already rushed in front of Ming Tan, grabbed the latter's shirt with one hand, and raised his other hand high, seeing——

It's about to fall on Ming Tan's cheek!
