Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich

On the other side, in the capital, the palace examination has ended, and all the students are anxiously waiting for the results.

"Tingqing, aren't you worried?" Mu Yuxuan asked Yun Tingqing, who looked calm.

"What's the point of worrying? The palace exam is over, just wait and see the results."

Yun Tingqing couldn't help but frown as he looked at the increasing number of people around him. If Mu Yuxuan hadn't pulled him along, he would definitely have waited until there were fewer people around before looking at the list.

While the two were talking, an official came out with the imperial edict.

Suddenly, the crowd that was noisy just now became silent.

As the imperial edict was posted on the public display, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, Qingxiang, cleared his throat and said, "Yun Tingqing of Qingyun County, Ouyang Guangrui of Jingdu, and Li Chenfeng of Jingdu come forward to see the emperor."

When Yun Tingqing heard his name, he was very excited, but his expression remained calm.

Mu Yuxuan, on the other hand, was a person who showed his emotions openly. The moment he heard Yun Tingqing's name, he hugged Yun Tingqing excitedly.

He took a deep breath, calmed his inner turmoil, patted Mu Yuxuan, asked him to let go of him, and then walked forward steadily.

When Yun Tingqing came to the list, his eyes swept over the other names on the list, and a surge of ambition surged in his heart.

He knew that this was just a new starting point, and there would be more challenges and opportunities waiting for him to face and grasp in the future.

Looking at the top three this year, Eunuch Qingxiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the top three this year are all such young and promising people. It really is true that the young are to be feared!

He smiled and led the three of them into the hall.

Entering the hall, one saw the emperor wearing a dragon robe sitting in the hall. His majesty filled the entire space, which made people feel awe.

"Long live the emperor!" the three shouted in unison, then knelt down in unison to express their respect and admiration for the emperor.

The emperor stood up and walked to the three people, personally helped them up one by one, and asked them some questions in a friendly manner.

Yun Tingqing was shocked. He had heard before that the emperor was close to the people and loved the people, but he did not expect that when he saw him in person today, he would find that the emperor was so approachable and had no airs at all.

The emperor carefully examined the three people before him, a satisfied smile on his face, and then he laughed heartily: "I didn't expect that the top three this time were all such young talents. God bless our Daiyan Kingdom."

Yun Tingqing turned around and looked at the two people beside him, thinking to himself that what the emperor said was true.

The two people next to him are about the same age as him, both of them are talented.

It is true that there is always someone better than you. This imperial examination made him deeply realize that he still has a lot to learn and work hard on.

"Ouyang Guangrui is as handsome as your uncle back then. This time I will appoint you as the third place winner in the imperial examination." After the emperor finished speaking, Eunuch Qingxiang handed the third place winner's costume for the parade to Ouyang Guangrui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." Ouyang Guangrui took the clothes and bowed to the emperor.

"Li Chenfeng, you didn't bring shame to Minister Li this time. I will appoint you as the runner-up this time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Chenfeng said happily. As long as his ranking was higher than Ouyang Guangrui's, it was enough.

Ouyang Guangrui felt unhappy when he saw Li Chenfeng's smug look, but since they were in the palace, he couldn't say anything.

"Although Yun Tingqing comes from a humble family, your talent and conversation are impeccable. I confer upon you the title of Number One Scholar."

Yun Tingqing knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this moment, a sudden cry of surprise came from the hall. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament standing there, her eyes full of surprise and joy.

She is the most beloved daughter of the current emperor - Princess Jianing.

Princess Jianing quickly walked up to Yun Tingqing and said excitedly, "Are you this year's top scholar? You are truly a handsome man!"

Yun Tingqing was somewhat flattered and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."

Princess Jianing looked Yun Tingqing up and down with a satisfied smile on her face.

She turned to the emperor and said, "Father, I think this number one scholar is not only talented and beautiful, but also has an extraordinary temperament. He is truly a rare talent!"

The emperor smiled and nodded in agreement.

At this time, Li Chenfeng on the side couldn't help but show jealousy.

He originally thought that he would get more attention and praise, but he didn't expect that Yun Tingqing would steal the limelight.

Yun Tingqing secretly rejoiced that he could receive such an honor, but at the same time he also felt unprecedented pressure.

"Top scholar, this is your top scholar uniform." Qingxiang handed the top scholar uniform in his hand to Yun Tingqing. He didn't expect that this person was actually the top scholar. It's true that heroes emerge from young people.

Princess Jianing wanted to say a few more words to the number one scholar, but the emperor stopped her: "Jianing, don't make trouble. Don't miss the parade."

"Follow me, all three." Qingxiang led the three into a side hall to change clothes, and the next step was the parade.

After Yun Tingqing changed into the champion's uniform, he looked even more handsome and elegant. He walked out of the palace with Li Chenfeng and Ouyang Guangrui and began the parade.

The streets were packed with onlookers, who cheered and applauded the new champion. Yun Tingqing smiled and waved to the crowd.

However, in the crowd, there was a pair of eyes that were always staring at Yun Tingqing, eyes full of admiration.

"Princess, the parade is over and we should go back to the palace." Xiaoqing reminded softly.

Princess Jianing nodded slightly, but her eyes were still fixed on the team that was gradually disappearing in the distance, with a hint of a smile on her lips.

"Xiaoqing, what do you think of this number one scholar?" Princess Jianing suddenly turned to look at Xiaoqing, with curiosity glittering in her eyes.

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and thought for a moment before answering, "He's quite handsome, but I heard his family isn't well off."

Princess Jianing smiled, seemingly unconcerned. She secretly thought to herself, this was the man she had her eye on, so he was the best.

She decided that when she returned to the palace, she would tell her father that she wanted to marry the number one scholar. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile happily.

After the parade, Yun Tingqing and others returned to the palace. The emperor was delighted and rewarded them generously, and announced some official appointments on the spot.

Yun Tingqing was appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, responsible for compiling classics and writing articles.

Although this position seems leisurely, it is an important position that deals with knowledge and culture.

Ouyang Guangrui was assigned to the Dali Temple as an official.

Li Chenfeng was assigned to the Ministry of Personnel, and his specific official position would be determined after he passed the department's assessment.

After accepting the emperor's reward, Yun Tingqing and the other two walked out of the palace excitedly.

They finally realized their dreams and became officials in the imperial court.

After leaving the palace, the three of them went their separate ways.

Along the way, Yun Tingqing was filled with emotion, his heart full of expectations and longings for the future.

On the other side, Princess Jianing walked briskly towards the imperial study.

When she arrived at the imperial study, Qingxiang respectfully stood outside the door and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Jianing is outside asking to see you."

Upon hearing this news, the emperor smiled. He knew exactly what Princess Jianing was up to, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Let her in."

After Princess Jianing entered the imperial study, she bowed respectfully to the emperor, then walked gracefully to sit opposite the emperor.

The emperor smiled and asked her, "What is it that Jianing came to see me, father?"

Princess Jianing winked playfully, then asked bluntly, "Father, what do you think of the new number one scholar, Yun Tingqing?"

The emperor knew Princess Jianing's thoughts very well, so he deliberately kept her in suspense and said, "The number one scholar I have chosen is naturally one of outstanding talent and noble character."

Princess Jianing pressed on, "Then... Father, do you think he can be a consort? I am very pleased with him."

The emperor laughed and replied, "Of course, as long as Jianing likes it, I have no objection."

Princess Jianing was overjoyed when she heard this and said gratefully, "Thank you, father!"

The emperor then continued, "Jianing, this feeling of joy is not something you can just say casually! And you only met him once."

The emperor was naturally happy to see that his little daughter had found someone she loved, but worry soon followed.

"Father..." Jianing's voice was filled with a hint of grievance and confusion.

"Okay, Jianing, go back first and think about it carefully. Come back and tell me when you have thought it through clearly."

After the emperor finished speaking, he no longer looked at Jianing, but focused his attention on the memorials on the desk.

Jianing looked at her father working diligently and knew that nothing she said would help, so she slowly left the imperial study.

Although her steps were a little heavy, she had already made a firm decision in her heart...
