The space is full of supplies, and the little milk bag can't be used up.

The next day, Li Yuanbo got up very early, packed a simple package and put it on his back, and dressed neatly.

Li Youran, Li Heming, and Ye also got up very early and together they sent Li Yuanbo into the Imperial Examination Hall.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, I saw a familiar figure. It was Qizhou prefect Kong Zhifu. Kong Zhifu was standing outside the Imperial Examination Hall with a smile on his face, watching all kinds of students checking their packages or carrying cheat sheets.

Of course, Magistrate Kong would not be so bored as to watch the students coming in and out, but was waiting for someone.

Prefect Kong looked around and saw a small figure in the crowd. The figure was wearing a beautiful skirt and looked cute and sweet.

Li Youran also saw the chubby Prefect Kong looking over here, and he smiled sweetly with his little tiger teeth showing.

I almost melted by the cuteness of Magistrate Kong.

No one else noticed this scene. Before Li Yuanbo went in, Li Youran pulled Li Yuanbo's long sleeves.

"Brother, take these fruits and self-heating instant noodles." Li Youran took a bag from Zhu Yao beside him, which was filled with food and drinks.

Food can fill your stomach. You can go a whole day without eating and you won’t feel hungry. The same goes for drinks. Just take a sip and you won’t feel thirsty for the whole day.

"Ran'er, these are too much! Can we bring them in?" Li Yuanbo saw that the students who came with him all had one bag, but he had two bags, which seemed a bit too ostentatious.

"Here." Li Youran handed the package to Li Yuanbo again.

Li Yuanbo couldn't refuse his sister's kindness, so he had to accept it. He knew that the food would be withheld later and his sister would take it back directly.

When Li Yuanbo walked over, he handed over the two packages for inspection.

The soldier who was checking was also stunned when he saw a package filled with food and drinks. When was it allowed to bring these things into the examination room? Just as he was about to confiscate the package and not let the person in, a big hand held his shoulder.

The soldier turned back impatiently, thinking it was someone next to him. When he saw his face, he immediately became respectful, "I'm honored to meet Magistrate Kong."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for people around to hear.

Li Yuanbo naturally heard it as well and immediately bowed his head in greeting.

Prefect Kong gave the soldier a look, and the soldier immediately understood that this meant he was allowed to pass.

The soldier returned the package to Li Yuanbo. Li Yuanbo took the package and wanted to say something, but the soldier suddenly said, "Go in!"

Li Yuanbo almost thought he had heard it wrong. A package full of food and drinks could be allowed in like that?

Li Yuanbo was led to a very good position. The position was very good, as if it was specially arranged.

Li Yuanbo thought back and felt that the prefect seemed to have helped him. He noticed the soldier's eyes and was about to say no at first, but after receiving a look from the prefect, he immediately changed his attitude.

Li Youran, Ye Shi and Li Heming who were outside also saw this scene and saluted.

Li Youran saw that Prefect Kong helped his eldest brother, allowing him to enter the Imperial Examination Hall with self-heating instant noodles and other food and drinks.

"Mom, my brother has gone in, let's go too!" Li Youran said, looking up.

"Okay, then let's go back to the inn and wait for Bo'er." Ye nodded, holding Li Youran's hand, and walked back.

Li Heming looked at the scenery of Qizhou along the way and breathed the fresh air.

During these nine days and seven nights, the other students had an extremely hard time. They really couldn't eat or sleep well. Some of them couldn't hold on and fainted.

Li Yuanbo was afraid to eat the self-heating instant noodles at first, but later he couldn't help but make a box by himself. The box was a bamboo box, and its appearance was modified by his sister.

The fragrance filled the Imperial Examination Hall. The other students were drooling with envy. Some were so hungry that they simply gave up the exam. They were really starving to the point of fainting from the fragrance.

Even the invigilator was tempted by the taste and couldn't help but ask Li Yuanbo for a portion to try. After tasting it, his eyes were wide open. What is this? It's so delicious, and it's still hot!

When I asked Li Yuanbo later, he just said, "This is what my sister prepared for me, it's the only one!"

The invigilators wanted to ask where my sister was, but they thought they were invigilating and couldn't be greedy, so they had to hold back.

Nine days passed in a flash, and that day Li Youran and others arrived outside the Imperial Examination Hall on time to wait.

Looking at the other students who came out, they were all skinny and yellow from hunger, some were severely dehydrated, some were carried out, and some fainted at the door due to hunger, and some had messy hair and dull eyes.

When she saw that Li Yuanbo was still dressed neatly, Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

When Li Yuanbo approached, he just smelled a bit unpleasant, the stench of not having been washed for a long time, but everything else was fine.

If you don't look carefully, she might be a little too fat.

Li Youran laughed secretly in her heart. Her elder brother still ate the self-heating instant noodles she prepared.

He says no, but his heart is honest.

The results of the provincial examination were announced at the end of August, which is the beginning of September. It took half a month to mark the papers, which was the time when osmanthus flowers were in bloom, so it was also called the "Guibang".

It was not until the beginning of September that the day of the announcement of the results came, and many people gathered at the place where the results were announced.

Li Youran herself couldn’t see it, there were still a lot of people around.

Li Yuanbo was so nervous that he didn't come in person, but asked his family to come and see it themselves. He had confidence.

Li Yuanbo was held in Ye's arms, but still couldn't see the list in front of him.

Han Yan and Zhu Yao beside Li Youran slowly squeezed into the crowd and moved forward. They originally wanted to use light skills to get a look, but the people looking at the list were all ordinary people, so it was not convenient to use martial arts directly. They could only squeeze in.

Han Yan arrived first. At first glance, she first looked at the tenth place from the bottom. Then her gaze slowly moved upwards and finally stopped at the first place. When she saw the three large gold-plated characters "Li Yuanbo", she couldn't help but feel excited. The young lady's eldest brother turned out to be the first place, the top scholar!

She suppressed her inner joy and turned back impatiently, wanting to tell Li Youran and Ye the good news.

"Miss, the young master passed the imperial examination and obtained the title of Li Yuan." Han Yan could not hide her inner excitement and spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

When Ye heard the news, she was in disbelief for a moment and wondered if she had heard it wrong.

Among the juren, Jieyuan ranked first, which means that Li Yuanbo stood out among many juren and won the highest honor.

"Say it again!" Ye confirmed again, fearing that he had heard it wrong.

Han Yan was about to answer when Zhu Yao suddenly ran over breathlessly and shouted excitedly, "Madam, the young master passed the exam and got the Liyuan degree!"

Only then did Ye become certain. Since both maids said so, it must be true.

Her heart was filled with excitement and joy, but at the same time she felt distressed because she knew how much effort and hardship her son had put in for this moment.

Li Youran was not particularly surprised to hear the news. She had full confidence in her elder brother's abilities.

She knew that her elder brother was an outstanding talent, and this time passing the imperial examination was just a milestone on his road to success.

She believed that with her elder brother's talent and ability, he would definitely become the top scholar in the future.
