When the Regent Princess kneeled, all the children in Beijing broke their knees.

Bai Zhi shook her head, which was why she looked so excited, "No, it's just twelve people, all won the first prize."

"Miss and the young master of the Kang family are also among the top."

Bai Zhi took out a piece of paper with the rankings she had written down on it.

Seeing the ranking above, Qingfeng Daru shouted, "This life is enough."

As a teacher, how could he not be satisfied if he could teach such students?

"Okay, okay!" Kang Mengxian laughed. No matter whether they are children of the Kang family or not, they are all children taught by them. How can they not be good if they can achieve such results?

Ningguang smiled gently, "The children are doing well."

The children who were a headache before have long since changed.

"Princess, I finally found you." Eunuch Xi ran over from outside with cold sweat on his forehead.

He first went to the Regent's Palace and then to the Kang family, only then did he find out that the princess was in the teahouse. It took quite a while for their large group of people to go back and forth and squeeze into the teahouse.

"What's wrong? Is there an imperial edict?" Jiang Yunchu asked curiously.

On a day like today, the imperial edict was not issued to her. The children who were supposed to receive the edict had already gone to the south.

"Princess, the emperor wants you to enter the palace."

Eunuch Xi smiled and then bowed respectfully to the three gentlemen.

"Then let's go quickly." Jiang Yunchu stood up and straightened his sleeves.

Then he called out, "Bai Zhi."

"Bai Zhi is here."

"Chunhua Academy will provide free porridge for half a year starting from now."

"The copper coins I exchanged for a hundred taels of silver were scattered in the slums for three days."

She arranged it one sentence at a time, and Kang Mengxian thought about it, "Yun Chu, isn't this a bit high-profile?"

Before Jiang Yunchu could say anything, Eunuch Xi smiled and waved the whisk in his hand, "Sir, all twelve of them are top scorers. As their dean, you should be high-profile."

Kang Mengxian thought about it and it made sense.

I hurriedly arrived at the palace, and the imperial study had returned to its previous appearance.

"Uncle, you are quite elegant. You have kept us busy outside and made us breathless." Jiang Yunchu looked at the painting drawn by Emperor Ning. Every mountain and tree was full of artistic conception.

Emperor Ning put down his brush and looked at Jiang Yunchu.

"Do you know why I let you into the palace?" Emperor Ning washed his hands, then walked aside, looked at Jiang Yunchu, and asked curiously.

"You won't ask me if I had breakfast, right?"

"You won't ask me if I slept well last night."

She looked at her uncle with a somewhat mischievous look on her face.

Eunuch Xi smiled at the side, saying that only the princess could be so humorous with the emperor.

If it were someone else, they would have been terrified and would not have dared to joke with His Majesty.

"It can't be... for the future of the children." Jiang Yunchu asked in confusion, playing with the teacup in his hand.

Emperor Ning looked at her smug look, and finally couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, "You."

"You know better than me what their situation is and what they want to do in the future."

"Da Ning is short of people in every aspect right now. How are they going to be arranged with eleven of them? What are your plans?"

Although he had high expectations for these twelve children, he did not expect that they would give him such a big surprise.

The Hanlin Academy picked out twelve papers, but it was impossible to rank them.

After Emperor Ning finally looked at it, he decided on the twelve top scorers.

This was a groundbreaking event.

Jiang Yunchu shook his head and said, "Uncle, I think you should meet with them first before making a decision."

"They have a very clear direction and goals to work towards."

Even though she is their dean, she still hopes that her children can do what they like in the future.

Emperor Ning looked at her and finally sighed.

"Then wait and see what our new number one scholar thinks."

Traditionally, the top scholar would wait for the emperor to grant an official position, but this was the first time that he, as the emperor, waited for the twelve top scholars to come back for discussion.

No, it's eleven.

Ning Qiancheng is not among these twelve people.

"Uncle, I will be leaving in a few days." Jiang Yunchu raised his head and looked at Emperor Ning's dazed expression, then stood up. "I was able to stay for the past six months because of the children."

"Now I can rest assured, and I've had an inexplicable feeling lately that I'm about to leave." Ning Chengyan went to Beirong, and she had no one to ask, so she didn't know whether her condition was right or wrong.

But as time went on, her feelings became stronger and stronger.

"Yun Chu, if things can't be done, just withdraw from Zhongzhou first. Daning will always be your home."

"I know." Jiang Yunchu nodded.

No matter how cheerful my uncle is on weekdays, he has never been angry.

I don’t know when I will be back this time. “Uncle, take care of yourself. I’ll leave the children to you.”

Emperor Ning nodded, "Don't worry, I'm here."

These six simple words represent Emperor Ning's promise.

Thanks to the efforts of twelve people, the disaster relief in the south was quickly resolved.

The blueprints were changed and canals were built. All of a sudden, news from the south kept coming. However, only the lowest-ranking official positions were arranged for this imperial examination. As for the official positions of the twelve top scorers, they were not given for a long time.

All parties are paying attention, but cannot find the reason.

On this day, thunderclouds gathered over the Regent Palace. Jiang Yunchu looked at Zi Su and said, "I'm entrusting the palace to you. I've already made all the arrangements that needed to be made."

Zi Su looked at the princess. Now they couldn't get any closer. The thunderclouds seemed to be isolating the princess.

"princess!"

All the maids looked on worriedly.

The thunderclouds in the sky flashed with silver light, and a bolt of lightning struck down. Jiang Yunchu's face turned slightly red, and then returned to normal.

"You guys go back."

"Take care of yourself, I'll be back later."

Jiang Yunchu smiled gently, with the gentlest smile on his face.

When the people from Kang Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the Han Mansion saw the thunderclouds in the sky above the Regent's Palace, they all ran over.

Even Emperor Ning, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, came to the Regent's Palace without having time to change.

When they saw Yun Chu in the thundercloud, each of their faces was filled with anxiety.

"I'm fine. There's no way to enter Zhongzhou without experiencing the thunder tribulation." Jiang Yunchu's voice was calm, but his breathing was a little rapid.

"Don't talk anymore, Yunchu, just focus on dealing with Lei." Zhuang Miao's face was full of worry. She was still preparing things, including clothes and food for her.

Why are you leaving so soon?

"Boom!" Another black thunder struck down from the sky.

Jiang Yunchu leaned down a little, then she sat up straight again, exuding a stubborn air.

She no longer cared about the worries of everyone outside.

The thunderclouds were still gathering, with bursts of roars and silver threads looming in the thunderclouds.
