I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

As early as when Xiao Moxuan arrived at the registration office, Gongsun Ce recognized him at a glance. This young man was the one who ate noodles at his wife's noodle stall.

What shocked him even more was that he was actually the ninth prince of the Jinsheng Dynasty. So, could that person be…"

Gongsun Ce was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Ninth Prince. I will definitely work hard."

The Ninth Prince smiled slightly and said, "Do your best in the exam, and don't let me down."

After saying this, the Ninth Prince turned and left.

Gongsun Ce looked at the Ninth Prince's receding back, his heart filled with gratitude.

He knew that if it were not for the Ninth Prince's help, he would have missed the examination today.

So, Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then walked towards the entrance of the examination room.

When he walked to the entrance, the guards checked his hometown information and only let him into the examination room after confirming that it was correct.

Gongsun Ce finally entered the examination room, marking an important turning point in his life.

The candidates around showed expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces, and they started talking about it.

It seems that Gongsun Ce will be able to enter the examination room smoothly this time, which makes everyone curious and expectant about this rumored figure.

By this time, most of the candidates had already entered the courtyard, quietly waiting for the bell to ring. Once the bell rang, the Spring Examination would officially begin.

The candidates held their breath nervously, concentrating on meeting the upcoming challenges.

A deep and distant bell echoed in the air. The exam finally began!

At this moment, every candidate has a firm belief and devotes all his efforts to the upcoming exam.

In the lobby of the Imperial Examination Hall, Su Ninghao couldn't help but feel emotional when he heard the bell ringing.

He recalled the time when he took the imperial examination and was also so nervous and excited. He knew very well what these candidates were going through at the moment because he had been there too.

Su Ninghao slowly put down the teacup in his hand, turned his gaze to the many officials present, and said calmly: "Distribute the test papers, don't delay the time."

Simple yet powerful, it expresses his emphasis on the exam and his expectations for the candidates.

imperial study room

Today is the first day of the Spring Examination. After the morning court session, Xiao Mohan became interested and picked up the book to read carefully.

In the huge study, apart from De'an serving by his side, only sandalwood was lingering.

Not long after, Xiao Moxuan appeared in the imperial study and told him that Gongsun Ce had entered the examination room.

Xiao Mohan nodded slightly, lowered his head and continued reading.

The three exams finally ended as the sun was setting. The afterglow dyed the sky of the Imperial Examination Hall red, giving people a solemn and dignified feeling.

The sound of gongs swept through the corridors on both sides of the examination room like a tide, and each sound was shocking.

Rows of officials from the Ministry of Personnel and buglers walked into the examination room with steady steps. Their figures were like moving city walls, majestic and imposing.

"The time is up, stop writing. Anyone who dares to move will be treated as cheating!" The examiner shouted loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the examination room.

Following the examiner's command, the originally quiet examination room suddenly became tense.

The candidates who were working at their desks put down their pens, stood up, and stood aside with solemn expressions.

Gongsun Ce had already demonstrated his strength in these three exams. Relying on years of study and accumulation, he could easily deal with every question.

At this moment, he had already finished answering the questions and was sitting there leisurely waiting for the time to collect the papers.

Officials from the Ministry of Personnel opened the examination rooms one by one and carefully collected the examination papers.

The bugler carefully checked each candidate again and carefully observed the situation in the room to ensure that there was no sign of cheating.

After confirming that everything is correct, they will nod to the officials of the Ministry of Personnel.

After receiving a positive answer, the candidates packed up their bags and walked out of the rooms, waiting quietly in the corridor.

The officials from the Ministry of Personnel then went to the next room and repeated the same process.

They moved methodically along the corridor.

The candidates sat in the examination room with a sense of unease, anxiously waiting for the review to be completed before leaving. Regardless of their test scores, the final answer would only be known after the results were announced.

On the other hand, Xiao Moxuan heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that Gongsun Ce had successfully passed the exam.

He immediately told the emperor the news and asked him to wait for the palace examination.

After the examination, Su Ninghao still did not return home. All officials from the Ministry of Rites who participated in the examination were required to stay in the Imperial Academy for food and lodging to ensure the safety of the examination papers and prevent them from being leaked in advance.

They did not need to attend court every day, but instead focused on handling the affairs of the candidates and marking the test papers.

Fengluan Palace

Su Yuer carefully placed the three cute little babies on the bed, surrounding them with soft quilts.

Perhaps because of the marrow-cleansing liquid added to the milk powder, they were able to sit steadily and had sharp hearing and vision even though they were less than three months old.

At this time, Ye Chen was holding a teething stick in his hand and chewing it happily; Ye Lin and Ye Xuan were looking around curiously, full of curiosity about everything around them.

Su Yuer kissed each baby one by one with a happy face, making the children laugh happily.

Just then, Xiao Mohan quietly walked into the dormitory.

As soon as Ye Xuan saw her father coming in, she immediately waved her little hands excitedly and couldn't wait to pounce on her father.

Xiao Mohan instantly turned into a daughter slave. He quickly walked forward, stretched out his hands and gently picked her up, saying softly: "Baby, do you miss your father?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but kiss her tender and silky skin.

It feels soft and delicate, exuding a faint milky aroma, which is intoxicating.

"Husband, how come you have time to come here now? Aren't you very busy?" Su Yu'er asked with concern, with a hint of tenderness in her tone.

Xiao Mohan held Ye Xuan in his arms and walked to her side, saying with a bit of grievance, "Madam, you still want me to keep busy, but it's already time for dinner."

"Really?" She slowly raised her head and noticed that the candlelight was on in the bedroom. "Oh, why am I so stupid, hahaha... Husband, look at Ye Xuan's saliva..."

At this moment, Ye Xuan's mouth was covered with crystal saliva, and her drool had already become stringy...

Xiao Mohan turned his head to look in the direction Su Yuer was looking, and immediately shook his head helplessly. He saw Ye Xuan's saliva flowing from the corners of her mouth, dripping onto his dragon robe, forming a puddle of water.

Seeing this, Su Yuer hurriedly picked up Ye Xuan, picked up a handkerchief, and gently wiped the corners of Ye Xuan's mouth and Xiao Mohan's dragon robe.

"You little rascal, look at how you've stained your father's dragon robe. Well... let's give you a nickname, Little Strawberry, the eldest will be Little Round Ball, and the second will be Little Earth. That's pretty good!"

At this time, Xiao Mohan had already taken off the dragon robe stained with saliva. Rubing and Ruxin took the dragon robe and hurried out of the dormitory.

Xiao Mohan sat down on the bed, hugged Su Yuer into his arms, and said lovingly: "Madam, you are making fun of your husband again."

"Do I?" Su Yu'er blinked and looked at Xiao Mohan innocently.

"You have!" Xiao Mohan nodded firmly, his eyes full of smiles.

Su Yu'er chuckled helplessly, then looked up at Xiao Mohan and asked softly, "Husband, the Spring Examination is over. How did Gongsun Ce perform?"

"He performed very well. All he has to do now is wait for the palace examination." Xiao Mohan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes revealing satisfaction.

Upon hearing this news, Su Yu'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded slightly to show her relief. Then, she asked with concern, "Have you had dinner tonight, my husband?"

"I've already eaten, but I want to have another meal now, is that okay?" Xiao Mohan looked at Su Yu'er deeply and answered softly.

Su Yu'er nodded without hesitation. Suddenly, she realized that something was amiss with this statement. She stared intently at Xiao Mohan, a wave of emotion stirring within her.

At this moment, Xiao Mohan slowly buried his head in her neck, his nose gently caressing her smooth and delicate skin. His low and magnetic voice reached her ears, "Madam, you have finished your confinement period. Since you became pregnant, I have been living a life of abstinence, like a Buddhist monk. I wonder if I can break the rules today?"

Su Yu'er's cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered shyly, "Husband, how do you want to break the rules?"

"Just like that..." Xiao Mohan licked her lips lightly with the tip of his tongue, his hot and moist breath teasing every sensitive nerve in her body. Then, his lips fell, overlapping with hers, reciprocating, and the temperature gradually increased.

"Husband..." Su Yu'er leaned back slightly, trying to create some distance, "Wait a moment... Let's put the children to sleep first."

"Okay!" Xiao Mohan suppressed the desire in his body and slowly let go of Su Yu'er.

He gently put the three little babies into the stroller. The little ones kicked their legs happily, their mouths opened wide, revealing happy smiles.

Xiao Mohan held the handlebars and slowly pushed the cart, feeling the children's happiness.

Su Yu'er couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene, and Xiao Mohan also laughed.

Then, the couple played with the babies and pushed the stroller together. At this moment, the scene was full of warmth and happiness, making people feel extremely happy.

Before long, the little babies fell asleep sweetly in the warm atmosphere.

Xiao Mohan's gaze fell on the babies in the stroller. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said with a smile, "They are still young now, let them do whatever they want. However, by the time we leave, they will have grown up!"

"Yes! At the latest, he is three years old. It's almost the same here!" Su Yu'er followed Xiao Mohan's words.

Xiao Mohan leaned sideways towards Su Yu'er, rested his chin lightly on her shoulder, and said gently: "Madam, they will start practicing next year, you can't let them suffer." He knew very well that the path of practice was difficult, but this was the journey they had to take.
