After reading my mind, my mother and my sisters went crazy

The next day, it was a crisp autumn day.

Many people in the capital city waited outside the high platform used for sacrifices in the city before dawn.

On the altar, there are four stone mirrors standing in the east, west, south and north.

The stone mirror looks inconspicuous at ordinary times, but it is actually connected to the formation of the imperial examination in the palace.

When the scientific examination results are revealed, the four stone mirrors will emit different lights, perfectly reflecting the person's figure.

The exam lasted for more than half a month, and many people were anxious and came to see it several times almost every day.

"Let's go, let's go. Look, this stone mirror has not shown any unusual signs so far. There shouldn't be any results today!"

The people waited for a long time, until the sun was high in the sky, but there was no reaction from the stone mirror. Everyone could not help but shake their heads and sigh and leave.

Among the group, only Jiang Qingqing, holding the child, went straight to the center of the altar.

"Madam, please go back. It seems that there will be no results today."

A white-haired old man saw Jiang Qingqing holding the child and couldn't help but remind her enthusiastically.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingqing smiled and nodded at the other party in a friendly manner.

She learned from Tiantian's voice that the result would be out today, and she didn't want to hide it at the moment.

"Old man, I have a feeling that the results will come out today. Why don't we wait and see?" Jiang Qingqing said with a smile.

She saw that the old man was dressed in ordinary clothes and his accent didn't sound like a local. It seemed that he was accompanying his children or grandchildren to take the exam. For a moment, she couldn't bear to see the old man going back and forth, so she reminded him.

The old man was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing that Jiang Qingqing's tone was very firm, he subconsciously chose to believe it and followed her involuntarily.

He had nothing to do anyway, so it was just a waste of some time.

"Boom boom boom!"

However, just as Jiang Qingqing and the others arrived at the center of the altar, a roar suddenly erupted from the stone mirror, flashing with colorful lights.

"Look, it's out, it's out! The result is out!"

When the people who were leaving far away saw this scene, they shouted in surprise and ran over.

But in just a moment, the huge crowd of people came.

Immediately, the guards from the capital came to maintain law and order, and the crowd became orderly.

"Boom boom boom~~~" The light on the stone mirror became brighter and brighter.

The whole audience was silent, watching nervously.

Some people have bright eyes, full of expectation; some people put their hands together, close their eyes and pray...

"Boom~~~" The light on the stone mirror became brighter and brighter, like a ball of colorful clouds that could not be dissolved, filling the entire place.

With a "boom", a variety of lights burst out.

Condensed into a personal name.

100th place: Luan Yiming

No. 99: Music Xiangxiang

No. 98...

From bottom to top, densely packed names fill the entire sky.

"My son passed the exam! He ranked 38th. My Wang family is so happy!" Someone in the crowd cried with joy and shouted.

"He passed the exam, he passed the exam, my dear grandson also passed the exam, ranked 56th. I can really die with my eyes closed, woooo~" an old man sobbed.

Of course, while some people are joyful, others are secretly sad.

If your name isn't on it, there are only two possibilities.

1. Completely eliminated. 2. Possibly ranked in the top ten.

Some people who could not see the names of their own clan members stared at the light screen like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

The light curtain lasted for a long time, and the officials in charge of transcribing also copied down the list as soon as possible and sent it to the palace.

……

Half an hour later.

"Boom~" the light rose again.

This time, seven huge names sparkled in the sun.

"Woo woo! He passed the exam. My husband passed the exam. I knew he would be able to do it. Dad, you see, my daughter has good taste!"

A young lady from a wealthy family said excitedly, her voice was not loud but could be heard clearly.

Everyone followed the sound.

It turned out to be Mr. Lin's family. It was heard that Mr. Lin's daughter fell in love with a poor scholar and insisted on marrying him. Mr. Lin finally compromised, but asked the scholar to marry into his family.

In the past, many people always pointed fingers at Mr. Lin behind his back, and many of them laughed at him.

However, now that the imperial examination results are out, many people have gritted their teeth and sent their congratulations.

In the crowd, Mr. Lin was smiling happily, and he seemed to be several years younger.

"My dear grandson also passed the exam, and he ranked fourth. He actually ranked fourth!"

Tears suddenly burst out of the turbid eyes of the old man next to Jiang Qingqing.

Jiang Qingqing quickly signaled the servant to come forward to support him and help him breathe smoothly, for she was afraid that the old man would get excited and faint.

His crying immediately attracted countless envious glances.

After a burst of noise, many people turned their eyes to the sky again.

"It's time for the top three to appear..."

Someone swallowed hard and said nervously.

"It should be soon, I wonder who will be in the top three this year..." someone said with envy.

"I guess it must be the talented man from Jiangnan, Lu Baiyuan. I heard that he could compose poems at the age of three and speak fluently at the age of five. He is an absolute genius!" someone praised.

"Murong Liuchuan of Prince Gong's Mansion is also well-known. He has the world in his heart, is unparalleled in wisdom and strategy, and has the potential to win the championship. He is also the nephew of the current Empress Dowager. His future must be limitless!" someone said with emotion.

Everyone couldn't help but talk about it.

"Hey~ Isn't this Jiang Qingqing, the daughter of the famous General Xiaoyao?"

"I heard that your daughter also participated in this scientific expedition? She is less than thirteen years old, right? How ridiculous!"

"It's ridiculous for a woman like you to come to take the imperial examination instead of studying needlework and moral education at home. Do you want to be a female official?"

The person who spoke was the young lady of Prince Gong's mansion, and also the wife of Murong Liuchuan mentioned by everyone earlier.

At this moment, she was supporting a graceful old lady and walking towards the center.

When she saw Jiang Qingqing and her group, she couldn't help but sneer at them, her face full of smugness.

She believed that her husband would definitely win the top spot in the imperial examination this time, and she would be the wife of the top scorer. The thought of it made her happy.

She dressed up today and was ready to receive everyone's praise.

Her mocking words immediately made the crowd boil.

"What, women? There are actually women taking the imperial examination?" someone was surprised.

"Oh my god, there hasn't been a woman taking the imperial examination in years."

An old lady looked nostalgic, as if she was reminiscing about a certain time in the past.

That was an era of tolerance and freedom for women...

Unfortunately, it seemed so long ago, so long ago that she even thought it was from her previous life.

"How ridiculous! As a woman, why does she come to take the imperial examination instead of taking care of her husband and children? Don't you know that this exam is a man's job? Why is she here to make trouble?!" someone pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, you are just a woman, but you don't know your own limitations. Has anyone seen a woman's name before?" someone shouted loudly.

"No! I didn't see the woman's name!" someone answered.

"Well, what are you talking about? If your name doesn't appear, then you must have failed the exam. What are you still doing here? Get out of here!"

"Are you expecting to be in the top three? Hahahaha... Ridiculous! If a woman could get into the top three, I, Li Er, would stand on my head and eat shit today!"

A scoundrel was holding a grass root in his mouth, looking at Jiang Qingqing and others with ill intent, his expression contemptuous and arrogant.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"The founding empress of Xuanlong Kingdom is the Queen. Why do you look down on my second sister?!" Jiang Xinling couldn't help but retorted angrily when she heard everyone teasing.

"Forget it, forget it. There's no point in saying more. When my second sister gets the top score in the imperial examination, it will be the best slap in their face. We won't be angry."

Jiang Xinlan stopped Jiang Xinling who was about to go berserk and comforted her softly.

“Hahahahahahaha~”

Jiang Xinlan's words were not loud, but they were clearly heard by everyone, causing them to laugh continuously. Some people even laughed until their noses and tears came out...

However, the next moment, "boom boom boom~" the stone mirror shook wildly and shone brilliantly.

A handsome face appeared in the light curtain.

"It's Lu Baiyuan! He's the third place winner in the imperial examination!" someone exclaimed, pointing at the clear portrait.

Everyone looked intently and saw the light curtain moving. A second figure was gathering madly, affecting the hearts of everyone present.

The next moment, a young man in white clothes appeared on the light curtain.

"Murong Liuchuan, it's Murong Liuchuan! Oh my god, he's the runner-up!"

"In terms of the ability to govern a country, is there anyone who can surpass him? Who is this person?"

Everyone gasped, their eyes fixed on the screen, waiting for the final announcement of the top scholar.

"Boom!" The light curtain rolled wildly, and the rays of light were shining everywhere.

This time, a silhouette that was grander and clearer than before stood between heaven and earth.

She was a woman dressed in green, and looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

She had a wooden hairpin on her head, her face was delicate and pretty, and her almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, revealing a confidence and beauty that looked down on the world.

"Woman! Oh my god! The top scholar is actually a woman!"

Everyone was in an uproar...
