After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

When the old princess heard Fu Yunyao's words, she was stunned for a while, and then she jumped up from the platform with a high jump. Her eyes were bright as crystal, and she looked at her granddaughter with excitement and disbelief.

"Yao'er, grandma is timid, please don't lie to her, okay?"

Fu Yunyao smiled and walked forward to support the old princess: "Grandma, why would my granddaughter lie to you about this? If you don't believe it, go to the front yard and take a look. I'm afraid the person who brought the good news hasn't left yet."

The old princess couldn't believe it.

Who would have thought that the grandson who had been a stubborn person since childhood would suddenly become a golden bowl.

She was afraid that she was dreaming!

"Good, good, good! The ancestors have shown their power." The old princess clasped her hands together and excitedly said three good words in a row: "You won the first place, and will take part in the palace examination next. As long as Yun Jing performs steadily, he will be in the top three."

The old princess was so happy that she gave rewards to all the servants in the mansion.

In Qionghua Courtyard, Qianyue left after reporting, but Gu Zhiyin was still in a daze.

Although not the top scorer, but top scorer!!!

Compared with the top scholar, there is no difference.

Under normal circumstances, as long as one does not miss the palace examination and does not offend the emperor, one is basically guaranteed to be the top scorer.

"The last sip of medicine, open your mouth, ah..."

Fu Yunjing held the spoon to Gu Zhiyin's mouth and said.

Gu Zhiyin turned his neck stiffly and stared at Fu Yunjing blankly.

After a long while, she slowly came back to her senses: "Prince, aren't you excited at all?"

So calm?

Fu Yunjing pushed the spoon forward and signaled her to open her mouth with his eyes.

Gu Zhiyin: “…”

She silently opened her mouth and drank it in one gulp.

Fu Yunjing considerately took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. Gu Zhiyin glared at him and took it herself.

He came over early in the morning, boiled medicine for her and fed her medicine, which made her very uncomfortable.

Today is the day when the results are announced, but Fu Yunjing doesn't even care.

Well, seeing how he remained calm after hearing that he had won the first place, I guess he really doesn’t care about his results.

"Don't get excited for now. Wait until I win the top prize before I go out and show off." Fu Yunjing said confidently.

Gu Zhiyin was speechless!

It makes so much sense that I can't refute it.

Gu family.

The news that Fu Yunjing had won the first place in the imperial examination reached Gu Jinse's ears, and she was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.

"How is it possible? How could that idiot Fu Yunjing pass the exam?"

"There must be some mistake."

"No way, no way, no way!"

Gu Jinse shook her head in disbelief. Besides shock, there was confusion and a hint of panic in her eyes.

In his previous life, Fu Yunjing was clearly an illiterate playboy who had never participated in an imperial examination.

Why does this happen?

Cheating?

"Yes, did he cheat in the exam and become the top scorer?" Gu Jinse seemed to have found the best explanation. She grabbed the girl beside her and stared at her, as if she wanted to get a positive answer from her eyes.

Haitang frowned in pain, but did not dare to express any opinion. She just looked at her master's misbehavior with suspicion.

"Third Young Madam, it's true. The list is posted at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall. It has spread throughout half of the capital."

What happened to the master?

It was as if she was certain that Prince Ming had no chance of passing the imperial examination.

Although everyone thinks so, it is a scientific examination. Who dares to cheat? Who has the ability to cheat?

Even if he really has the ability to cheat, there will be the palace examination later, and the emperor will set the questions on the spot, so there is no possibility of leaking the information.

Gu Jinse glared fiercely. After hearing Haitang's words, she felt a surge of blood rushing to her head and her chest felt stuffy as if it was blocked by a huge rock.

Fu Yunjing has the talent of a top scholar and has a bright future. Gu Zhiyin is originally the princess of a county prince. If Fu Yunjing really passes the imperial examination and becomes the top scholar, then she will be the glorious wife of the top scholar. Even if not, she will still be among the top three.

The second or third place, which one is not glorious?

But Shen Linzhou became a waste and was wanted by everyone in the capital.

Then what does it matter that she was reborn in this life and snatched Gu Zhiyin's marriage?

bah—

Gu Jinse was so angry that her eyes turned black and she fainted.

"Miss..." Haitang was so nervous that she didn't even care about the title.

When Hanyan heard her scream, she hurried into the house and saw Gu Jinse fainted on the ground. She quickly ordered someone to call a doctor.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The emperor looked at the several examination papers placed in front of him, his face darkening slightly. The sunlight outside the hall shone into the hall and sprinkled on the corners of his eyes, which were full of fine lines. Instead of softening the look, it made his eyes look even more severe.

The young eunuch came in to serve tea and accidentally knocked over the teacup, splashing tea all over the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me." The young eunuch knelt on the ground in fear and begged for forgiveness.

The emperor paused and his brows were tightly knitted.

Although he didn't say anything, the overwhelming pressure made it almost impossible to breathe.

The young eunuch prostrated himself on the ground with a pale face, thinking that he would be dragged out and beaten to death in the next moment, but he heard the chief eunuch shouting, "Twenty strokes of the cane, go down and receive the punishment yourself."

Twenty sticks?

Only twenty strokes of the cane, not death by beating?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The young eunuch kowtowed several times with tears in his eyes and retreated quickly.

Zhao Ren stepped forward respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will help you change your clothes."

The emperor lowered his head and brushed off the water stains on his dragon robe, and said coldly: "No need."

"Yes." Zhao Ren did not persuade him any further, but looked at the emperor worriedly: "Your Majesty, is there any problem with these test papers?"

The papers were spread out on the table, but Zhao Renke didn't dare to look at them without the emperor's order.

"Prince Pingyang gave birth to a good son." The emperor suddenly said this, and it was unclear whether his tone of emotion was a true compliment or a reflection of someone else's deeper meaning.

Zhao Renxin paused, then agreed with a smile: "I have also heard that Prince Ming won the first prize in this spring's imperial examination. It is really shocking, but Prince Pingyang is loyal to the emperor, and his son has the talent of the top scholar. If he can be used by the emperor in the future, the emperor will be even more powerful."

"Yes, Fu Zheng is loyal to me, and Fu Yunjing is also loyal to me." The emperor's eyes swept back and forth on the test paper in front of him, as if he wanted to see Fu Yunjing's loyalty from the test paper: "Even if his princess often goes in and out of the Cining Palace, it can't prove that the Pingyang Palace wants to surrender to the Queen Mother. It must be that old woman trying to win them over."

Zhao Ren heard this and said hurriedly, "Of course, the Queen Mother summoned me, and no one can refuse."

"Fu Yunjing, Xie Jichuan, Qiu He, Chu Mushan! Among the top four in the Spring Examination, two are the Queen Mother's men, and the other one is from a poor family. I can't just skip these four and choose the top scholar from the back, right?"

Zhao Ren understood what the emperor meant.

Xie Jichuan is the nephew of the empress dowager. No matter what disputes he had with the empress dowager in the past, it cannot erase the fact that he is a member of the Qin family.

Chu Mushan is the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, who is a member of Prime Minister Qin's team and also in the Queen Mother's camp, so the Emperor naturally cannot use him in a high position.

Qiu He is that poor student.
