Quick Wear: I am eager to help others and I love making friends!

The leading official said in a loud voice: "This examination was judged by His Majesty and Prime Minister Cui. There is no fraud. Students, please be careful with your words."

Everyone finally quieted down, but some people were still unconvinced and murmured.

At this time, Xie Shi finally squeezed in from the outside with Xie Yuan. If he heard correctly, he seemed to have heard the third brother's name just now, and it seemed to be the first?

"Second Master, am I seeing things?" If the young master had not instructed him in advance, Xie Yuan would have to perform a standing jump on the spot.

"No... I'm not seeing things." Xie Shi has been very busy during this period. He remembers exactly what his third brother's name and hometown look like. He confirmed each word three times before he was sure that he saw it.

"Let's go back and tell our third brother the good news."

Xie Yuan nodded repeatedly, and the two of them squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty and hurried back.

The two of them trotted back to the courtyard, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw Lu Chu sitting leisurely in the yard drinking tea.

Xie Yuan ran to Lu Chu, looking excited, "Sir, you won the first place!"

"Ayuan and I saw it with our own eyes. Xiaobao, you are the first!" The blush on Xie Shi's dark face was not very obvious, but his eyes were obviously red.

"I already know." Lu Chu nodded slightly with a calm expression, but Xie Mingjun in the puppet was crying loudly.

The official who brought the good news arrived earlier than the two of them, and the first person they came to inform was him, who had ranked first in the examination.

"Wait until the results of the palace examination are out before sending someone back to announce the good news, so that we don't have to make another trip."

"All up to you." What Xie Shi wanted to do most now was to burn incense to his ancestors.

Three days later, Xie Mingjun came out of the Golden Palace, his excitement hard to conceal. After passing this hurdle, his path to the imperial examination would be clear.

If nothing unexpected happens, the top scorer of this year's exam will be Xie Mingjun. He ranked first in the examination, and the top three candidates were all decided by the emperor himself.

Emperor Qian Jing accurately found the examination paper of his heaven-born son, Xie Mingjun, among the ten examination papers. He nodded as he read it. After an incense stick of time, he asked, "I want to nominate this boy as the top scholar. What do you think?"

Of course, he did not blindly believe in a few predictive dreams. He had set the questions for this palace examination himself, and many of the other party's essays had refreshing effects.

"I think this boy is extremely talented and a rare talent." Cui Ji was the first to step forward and express his agreement.

Prime Minister Cui had no objection, and the Minister of Personnel and others had even less objection. Moreover, in their opinion, the other party was worthy of the title of top scholar based on his talent.

Therefore, Emperor Qianjing appointed Xie Mingjun as the top scorer in the imperial examination on the spot and granted him the position of editor in the Hanlin Academy.

As soon as this official position was announced, everyone with a discerning eye knew what the emperor was thinking. This top scholar was very much in the emperor's favor because almost all the cabinet ministers came from the Hanlin Academy.

Not long after the palace examination, a eunuch brought Lu Chu a bright red Jinshi robe. Lu Chu took the robe and went to the inner room to change into it.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. The handsome young man in the bronze mirror is now wearing a red official uniform and a three-branch nine-leaf crown on his head, which adds a bit of romantic spirit.

"Not bad, you are worthy of it." Lu Chu praised.

Hearing this, Xiaoyi tactfully checked in for him.

"I'm ready to go."

After Lu Chu followed the eunuch away, both Xie Shi and Xie Shi were still confused, their hearts filled with great joy.

"The Golden Palace Announcement" is the greatest honor for scholars, and it also means that they have embarked on the official career from then on.

Before entering the palace, Lu Chu returned the body to Xie Mingjun. He only liked the subsequent praise of officials. The "Golden Palace Announcement" was too boring for him.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, this was the first time that Emperor Qianjing saw Xie Mingjun in real life. He was moved and thought that he was indeed worthy of being the top scholar that I had chosen.

His demeanor and appearance make the other scholars around him pale in comparison. When he is paraded through the streets on horseback, countless women in Kyoto will go crazy for him.

Unfortunately, the young man was already engaged and could not become his son-in-law.

After meeting the emperor, it was time to praise the officials in the Imperial Street.

Officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites held the imperial edict and rang gongs to clear the way. The top three candidates, wearing red robes and palace flowers in their hats, rode tall horses and led the other scholars through the Imperial Street of the Imperial City to accept congratulations from the people.

While riding his horse, Lu Chu nimbly dodged the flowers and sachets flying from all directions with a bright smile on his face.

In order to make Xie Mingjun feel involved, he pinned the puppet to his waist and patted it occasionally.

The puppet shook slightly with the force. Xie Mingjun was not very calm now, but he was not as excited as when he met the emperor just now.

He actually passed the exam and became the top scorer? !

When Lu Chu rode by on horseback, Xie Shi was so excited that his eyes turned red, and he cried and laughed, "Look, that's my third brother, he's the top scholar."

As soon as he finished speaking, he attracted countless envious eyes from all around. The new top scholar has a bright future. Feeling the eyes of everyone, Xie Shi proudly puffed out his chest.

After the praise ceremony, Lu Chu followed the main force to Qionglin Garden, but he was not interested in the Qionglin Banquet. He took the Tiandao cat that had followed him secretly to the imperial kitchen and asked a few of the best imperial chefs to prepare delicious food for him.

After the lively Qionglin Banquet, "Xie Mingjun" officially went to the Hanlin Academy to take up his post.

After Lu Chu came to Kyoto, Concubine Ning tried to obstruct him, but was always blocked by Emperor Qianjing.
