Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich
Chapter 231: One School, Two Champions
Time passed by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the palace examination.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. Yun Luoxuan, dressed in a brand new gorgeous suit, walked towards the palace with an imposing manner and firm steps.
Along the way, he was full of confidence and expectation, believing that with his years of hard study and unremitting efforts, he would be able to stand out in this palace examination.
Finally, Yun Luoxuan stepped into the solemn and dignified imperial palace.
The palace is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, showing the royal style.
Many candidates gathered together, all of them were talented and high-spirited, but Yun Luoxuan was not afraid at all. He walked calmly to his seat and waited quietly for the palace examination to begin.
Following the chief examiner's resounding order like a huge bell, the palace examination, an important test that determines the fate of many students, officially unveiled its mysterious and solemn curtain.
Yun Luoxuan was seen in the crowd. He stood tall and straight, his face calm as water, and was not affected by the tense atmosphere around him at all.
When the emperor's test questions were passed to him one by one, he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment. It was as if a treasure trove of knowledge was opened in his mind, and all kinds of exquisite insights and profound feelings emerged continuously.
Yun Luoxuan picked up the pen, and with great literary talent and clear logic, articles appeared on the paper.
When he answered the questions, his voice was loud, firm and powerful, and every answer was so precise, as if he had already rehearsed these difficult questions in his mind countless times.
As time passed, this fierce competition gradually came to an end.
Finally, the results of the palace examination were about to be announced. The entire hall fell into a suffocating silence, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the crucial moment to arrive.
At this moment, the chief examiner stood up, cleared his throat, and announced in a high-pitched and passionate voice: "The top scorer of this palace examination is Yun Luoxuan!"
Before he finished speaking, the whole audience erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.
People were whispering and talking, their eyes all fixed on the young man in his prime standing in the center of the hall.
At this moment, Yun Luoxuan's face was filled with a confident and humble smile. He bowed to the people around him to express his gratitude.
However, those who were more excited and thrilled than he was were his relatives far away at home.
This good news spread like wildfire, spreading through the streets and alleys at an astonishing speed, and soon reached the Yun family. When Old Lady Yun learned that her beloved grandson Yun Luoxuan had actually won the top spot in the imperial examination, she could hardly believe her ears.
At first she thought someone was playing a joke on her, but after seeing the equally ecstatic faces of her family members, she was convinced that it was all true.
Old Lady Yun was so happy that she danced with joy. Her wrinkled face was filled with a brilliant smile, and she couldn't even close her mouth because she was laughing so happily.
Tears of joy streamed down her cheeks. As she wiped them from her eyes, she kept muttering to herself, "This is truly the good fortune of our ancestors! Our family has produced two top scorers at once. This is the supreme honor bestowed upon us by God! I must go to the ancestral hall to pay my respects to our ancestors..."
Tiantian on the side was even more excited. She circled around Yun Luoxuan happily like a happy little bird, with an innocent smile on her face.
Everyone at home was so excited when they heard the news that Yun Luoxuan had won the top prize, not to mention Qi Tianhe who was listening in the hall. At this moment, he could not hide his relief and nodded repeatedly in praise, "Good grandson, you really bring honor to our family!"
Yun Luoxuan knew very well that this honor was hard-earned, and it was full of his hard work in studying day and night at his third uncle's house.
However, he did not become proud and complacent because of this. Instead, he secretly made up his mind to work harder and make continuous progress in the future to repay his family's upbringing with even better results and bring honor to the family.
When Yun Luoxuan became the top scorer in the imperial examination, the whole capital was in an uproar.
This talented and elegant young man has become a topic of conversation among people after dinner.
At this moment, news arrived from the palace that the Emperor was personally summoning Yun Luoxuan and entrusting him with an important task. For a moment, everyone speculated about what important position Yun Luoxuan would be given.
Originally, letting Yun Luoxuan join the Hanlin Academy was a foregone conclusion.
However, no one expected that just when the emperor was about to summon Yun Luoxuan, an accident happened - the elder statesman Qi Tianhe actually came to the palace to meet the emperor.
In the court, Qi Tianhe bowed respectfully to the emperor and asked, "I wonder where the emperor plans to arrange for Yun Luoxuan to take up his post?"
As an important official of the court, Qi Tianhe has experienced many dynasties and holds an extremely high status.
Therefore, the emperor has always respected Qi Tianhe. His attitude is not even like that of an ordinary monarch and his subjects. Instead, it is more like the humble and polite relationship between a younger generation and an elder.
Hearing Qi Tianhe's question, the emperor couldn't help but look puzzled. He stared at the venerable old man in front of him and asked in confusion, "Why is Minister Qi suddenly concerned about this?"
The emperor thought to himself that although Qi Tianhe occasionally gave advice on weekdays, he rarely interfered in the appointment and dismissal of officials. His move today was really puzzling.
Qi Tianhe smiled slightly, stroked his gray beard, and then unexpectedly knelt down in front of the emperor.
This sudden action scared the emperor. You know, ever since the emperor allowed Qi Tianhe not to kneel down and kowtow because of his advanced age, he has never knelt again!
Something must be wrong when things are abnormal, and the emperor suddenly felt a little alert.
"Minister Qi, please stand up quickly. If you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me. I will consider it carefully." The emperor said in a gentle voice with a smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Qi Tianhe hurriedly stood up and hastily patted the non-existent dust on the hem of his clothes.
He bowed slightly and respectfully reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the new top scholar is my great-grandson. Now that I am getting older, I feel my energy is limited and my abilities are insufficient. I can no longer handle the affairs of the court. It is time for me to enjoy my retirement!"
The emperor nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, and asked slowly, "According to Minister Qi, does he intend for your great-grandson to take up a position at the Ministry of Rites?"
Qi Tianhe hurriedly bowed and replied, "I beg for Your Majesty's permission." His words were full of sincerity and expectation.
The emperor remained silent, as if pondering the pros and cons.
After a while, he finally spoke: "Since that's the case, then let's follow your suggestion and let the top scholar enter the Ministry of Rites."
