"Yes," the ministers said in unison, and followed the emperor to the dining room. When they arrived at the dining room, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw the fragrant smell filling the room.

The Emperor took his seat first, followed by Prince Yi, Long Linxiao, and Siyu, the newly appointed Princess Changning. The other ministers followed suit.

The emperor picked up his chopsticks and tasted the newly delivered rice. Hmm, the rice had a sweet, mellow aroma and was soft. It was indeed much better than ordinary white rice. He then tried the potato and sweet potato dishes. They were both satisfying and delicious. Noticing everyone was still looking at him, the emperor invited all the ministers to taste the new grain and rice sent by Changning.

After hearing the emperor's words, the ministers also began to pick up their chopsticks and eat heartily. After the meal was over, it was already afternoon, and the emperor dismissed the ministers... The emperor also left a few trusted ministers to go to the imperial study...

When Siyu and Long Linxiao walked out of the palace, it was almost dark. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched their figures out very long, giving people a feeling of peaceful and tranquil time.

Is Yu'er very tired?

Siyu turned around and looked at Long Linxiao, Brother Xiao, I'm not tired.

Let's go! Let's go back quickly and have some rest. Aren't we going out for a walk tomorrow?

Siyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yeah, yeah, we're going out to explore the capital tomorrow." Sister Yanan and Ling'er, we're going together. Brother Xiao, do you want to come with us?

Okay, of course we will go, but tomorrow we will go to a poetry reading first, and then come to find you.

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion.

The two walked into the princess's residence together. The princess, Linglan County Lord, and Li Yanan were already sitting there waiting.

Princess Linglan came up and said, "Sister Yu, you're finally back. I was so worried about you. You've been away for so long."

The princess also stepped forward to ask, "Are you all right? Xiao'er, what took you so long? Where's your uncle? Why didn't he come back?"

Long Linxiao returned, and the emperor kept him. Grandpa Yi Wang, Uncle Feng, and Left Prime Minister Zhou Heng also stayed in the palace. We discussed things with the emperor in the imperial study, and then we returned.

The princess was relieved to hear that they were fine. "Okay, you kids go play! I'm going to rest now."

After leaving the palace, Prime Minister Fang returned home angrily. As he walked, he wondered what the emperor had asked them to do by staying behind to plot something, and why he hadn't even brought him, the Right Prime Minister, along with him. Returning to his study, Prime Minister Fang felt furious.

At this time, Prime Minister Fang's followers also came to Prime Minister Fang's study through the secret passage. No one knew what they were plotting, but many carrier pigeons flew out from the courtyards of each house.

Husband, have you brought all the pen, ink and other things?

Well, don't worry, my wife has brought everything.

You must check your stuff carefully for today's exam, Ayu, Ahuan, and you too. Don't be nervous, treat it calmly, and don't feel pressured. We are just going through the motions this time, and there is still a chance.

A Yu and A Huan said to their mother confidently, "Mom, don't worry! We won't let you down. Are you still waiting for us to earn an imperial decree for you?"

Bai Qingyuan looked up at the two brats and said, "Go away! I've earned your mother's imperial decree! I don't need you anymore."

A Yu and A Huan shook hands with their dad and said, "Damn dad, you just keep showing off your love."

Lan Niang was no longer nervous as she watched the interaction between the father and his two sons.

At this time, Fang Zihang and Liu Yanchen also arrived to see off the exam. Bai Qingyuan and a few children from the same village walked towards the county examination hall.

After several months of treatment, the blood clots in Lan Niang's brain gradually dissipated, and some images flashed through her mind, but the information has not been fully recovered. Her memory is a little fuzzy, so she still needs to work harder.

Dazhu drove a horse-drawn carriage to take the few people to the county government office where the county examination was held.

The examination for the title of scholar consisted of three sessions: the county examination, the prefectural examination, and the academy examination, each lasting three days, for a total of nine days. The top three candidates in the three examinations were ranked first in the county, first in the prefectural, and first in the academy, and were known as the "Little Three Yuans."

Dazhu bowed to the masters and young masters, wishing them success. I will wait for them outside.

Bai Qingyuan replied, "Why don't you go back? We won't be able to get out until three days later. Why are you waiting here? Come pick us up in three days."

Yes, Dazhu drove off. The eight people were checked by the invigilator and allowed in. The first exam lasted three days.

Head flower, beautiful head flower.

Come and see the new rouge and powder! Don’t miss it if you’re passing by.

The little girl has new looks and new clothes, which are new styles from Nishang Pavilion.

Blown-up white steamed bun, sesame cake, sesame cake!

Siyu, Ling'er, and Yanan, three little sisters, listened to the hawkers' cries and the shops' calls for customers. They felt that the capital was different. Unlike small towns with their sparse population, Siyu looked at the bustling streets filled with people. She thought that one day she would open a shop in the capital. They walked, chatting and laughing.

At this time, a sarcastic voice came from the teahouse in front, "Hey, isn't this my sister who eloped with someone? Why are you back? Is it because that man can't support you?"

Mother is worried about you, and she can't eat or sleep well. Big sister, why are you so ignorant? Mother introduced you to the second son of the Minister of Rites, but why do you look down on him? The second son of the Minister of Rites is a handsome man. You said to me, big sister, you don't understand mother's painstaking efforts, but how could you elope with someone? It's really wrong. She wiped away her tears as she spoke. I know sister has always disliked me and mother, but you, you, uh uh uh.

The girl next to her advised Xinyan, "Don't cry, your elder sister is ungrateful and heartless. You are kind enough to think about him, but she ignores you."

Hu Ting'er stood there, glaring at Li Yanan angrily, her mouth lashing out like a machine gun. "It's all your fault! Xinyan is such a good person, gentle and kind, with such a soft personality, and yet you bullied her and made her cry."

Siyu looked at the girl who was rushing up stupidly and shook her head with a smile. She was really being used as a pawn and didn't even realize it. She was sold and she was counting the money for others! Then she looked at the crying little girl across from her. She really didn't realize the wisdom of the ancients! It's not easy for a little girl of twelve or thirteen to act out this palace fight! The crying and wailing look made me feel so pitiful. She deserves an Oscar!

Why are you here? Ah! Li Yanan looked at the girl in front of her angrily. Siyu looked at Li Yanan in confusion and then at the girl in front of her.

Princess Linglan knew Li Xinyan and said sarcastically, "Oh, who did I think it was? It turns out she was born to a concubine, a concubine's daughter!" Linglan emphasized the words "concubine" and "concubine's daughter" and said sarcastically that this concubine's daughter didn't know the rules. "Not only did you not show respect to your elder sister, but you also shamelessly slandered her here. Who gave you the guts?"
