Chuan Shuzhi became the regent's favorite concubine

The guards unfolded the imperial list and hung it on the wooden plaque standing in front of the Imperial College. As soon as it was hung up, the guards lined up in two rows and stood guard on both sides of the imperial list.

The people who were looking forward to it crowded up one after another, staring at whose name was written on it.

"It's the son of the Pei family! The top two are the two sons of the Pei family!" It was unknown who in the crowd said this first.

This sound immediately ignited the atmosphere of the audience. There are only two young masters in the Pei family, but they won the first two places in the top three at once, which is not enviable.

It makes even the famous Tanhua eclipsed.

There were common people who were watching the excitement, and there were also scholars who were waiting for the announcement, but among them, there were a few servants who only glanced at it and left in a hurry.

Inside Pei's mansion, a servant happily ran in.

"My lord, my lord! Good news!" Mr. Pei was sitting in the front hall. Hearing these words, he paused with his hand, which was picking up the tea dregs on the surface of the teacup.

I immediately understood.

"My lord, the eldest son won the number one prize! There is also the second son, the second son is also on the list, and won the second place!" The young man ran back all the way, before he could catch his breath, he said loudly.

The excitement on his face was beyond words.

However, Mr. Pei shook his hands and splashed the hot tea in his hand before reacting, and asked incredulously, "What do you say about Second Young Master?"

"Second Young Master won the second place! My lord." The young man laughed so hard that his mouth almost went to the back of his head.

It is a great honor to be the No. [-] pick from a family.

Anyone who encounters this can not be confused?

Old Pei's eyes were about to pop out, he was clearly just letting that restless kid have something to do, and the imperial examination was just for him to sharpen his will.

I didn't expect... I didn't expect him to pass the exam in one fell swoop!

Mr. Pei was so annoyed that he sighed heavily, and slapped his thigh vigorously with his big palm, "My famous name of the first generation of the Pei family will be ruined!"

The only two brothers in his lineage of the Pei family can inherit it. It's a good thing that they are going to be officials in the court. Isn't this, isn't it just arousing people's gossip?

Said that Pei's family is fake and noble?Are you still greedy for that power?

The young man looked at Mr. Pei beating his chest and stamping his feet in remorse, and for a moment didn't know whether the news was good or bad.

And Pei Jinglin and Pei Qi'an also came to the main hall at the same time, wanting to greet Mr. Pei.

"Father!" Pei Qi'an arrived before he could hear, and after stepping on the threshold, he yelled loudly.

The two entered the lobby, and what they saw was Mr. Pei with a sad face.

Pei Jinglin's heart skipped a beat, thinking that what happened last night had already been reported to Mr. Pei.

After he treated the wound urgently yesterday, he kept the matter a secret, not wanting to worry Mr. Pei.

"Father, why are you frowning? There are many wrinkles in the first place, but this one makes you look older. Just smile, it's not good to keep a straight face all day long, isn't it?" Pei Qi'an didn't realize that today was When will he still dare to joke around with Mr. Pei with a playful smile?

"It's all because of your rebellious son!" Pei Lao became even more angry when he saw Pei Qi'an, pointed at him and cursed.

The second monk Pei Qi'an, who was scolded for no reason, couldn't figure it out, pointed at himself with a blank face, and said aggrievedly: "What am I doing again? Haven't I been staying in the mansion for the past few days?"

"Second, Second Young Master, you won the second place." The boy said in a low voice at the risk of being scolded together.

Pei Qi'an scorched on the spot like a lightning strike, he won the second place?

Pei Jinglin was also slightly taken aback, and the three members of the family suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the young man leaned against the wall and slowly left the hall. There were only three people standing in front of the hall, looking at each other as if facing each other.

"Then, where's the elder brother?" Pei Qi'an took a long time to find his voice, and asked a little weakly.

"Your elder brother is naturally the champion. If there is only one person on the list, I don't have to worry so much." Mr. Pei said through gritted teeth.

Pei Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief.

"I, I just wrote on that paper casually, how could I know that I would be on the list..." Pei Qi'an argued weakly.

He really didn't expect that he would also be on the list, he didn't have any ambition to be an official...

Naturally, Pei Jinglin knew that the top three in the imperial list, and the Pei family occupied two, so there must be more disadvantages than advantages, so he couldn't help being a little silent at this moment.

There was no blood on her lips, and now her complexion looked even worse.

"Jinglin, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Pei noticed Pei Jinglin's abnormality and said in a deep voice.

"Father, I'm fine. Maybe it's because I didn't get a good rest last night." Pei Jinglin responded quickly, and Mr. Pei must not know what happened last night.

Thinking back to what the doctor who secretly called yesterday told him that his left arm was going to be useless, Pei Jinglin's eyes darkened, but he was even more fortunate that his left arm was injured and it was not a hindrance.

And now that he has won the champion, there must be a lot of work to do in the follow-up. If someone finds out that he has become a useless person, then all his previous efforts will be wasted.

"Well, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and I can't interfere further, let's let the emperor make arrangements." Old Pei sighed.

Pei Qi'an became anxious immediately, her blushing little face was a little excited, "Father, I don't want to be an official in the court."

"Nonsense!" Mr. Pei slapped the table hard, the sound was so loud that Pei Qi'an shivered.

"Is it a child's play for you to take the imperial examination? If you enter the top three, you will be regarded as a member of the court. There is no reason not to follow. If you do not follow, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Pei Qian'an was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his whole body became wilted.

"Let's see how the imperial court arranges it in the future. I'll save my father's old face and let someone find you a job." Mr. Pei left this sentence with a dark face and got up to leave.

Pei Qi'an pursed his lips, looked at Mr. Pei's back and muttered: "You also let me go for the imperial examination, and you have to blame me if I pass the exam. I'm just a doormat!"

Pei Jinglin's heavy face was amused by Pei Qi'an's complaint.

"Okay, it's fate if you pass the exam. You are talented, so passing the imperial examination is not an accident." Pei Jinglin comforted.

Pei Qi'an sighed for a long time, and said: "I don't have any ambitions like your elder brother. What I want is to live a happy life and be free."

"...Ambition." Pei Jinglin said these words in a daze. He didn't have them. He didn't have a big heart. Even if he worked for this great river and mountain, it was only for the emperor who was about to become the emperor of this ten thousand li territory.

"Then big brother, do you want to go to the palace to face the saint next, wait for the emperor's appointment, and then officially become an official of the court?" Pei Qi'an asked with some headaches while scratching his hair.

"No, there is still some time." Pei Jinglin turned his eyes away and looked at the location of the palace, his voice was a bit ethereal.
