Chapter 188 Husband Gets Favor (32)

"Ah."

Nan Wan reached out and hugged Pei Yu into her arms, and gently pressed a kiss on his hair.

"It's getting closer to the wedding day."

Earlier, she promised Pei Yu that she would give him a wedding.

Pei Yu didn't speak, but silently hugged Nan Wan tightly.

Three days passed in a flash, and on the day of the palace examination, some students came to wait outside the palace gate at Yinshi.

As long as the palace door is wide open, they will enter the palace with the maids.

Nan Wan came a little later, and when she came, most of the people had already arrived.

Pei Ling was talking to someone, when she saw Nan Wan, she called her over.

"If you meet the eldest princess later, try not to talk to her." Pei Ling instructed.

The eldest princess is also in the hall, if she causes trouble for Nan Wan, it will be Nan Wan who will suffer.

"En." Nan Wan nodded.

It wasn't until the east saw white that the gate of the palace opened wide.

The maids in green came out in a file and led them to wait in the side hall.

"I wonder what the topic of the meeting will be?"

"Hope it's not difficult."

"Everyone, please." After a green-clothed palace lady reminded them a few words, she led them to the Golden Luan Hall.

Pens and inks have been prepared in the hall, and everyone is seated in order according to their rankings.

"Let's get started!"

The queen sat high on the golden steps, her eyes swept over everyone one by one.

Everyone lowered their heads in unison, holding their breath and concentrating.

There is only one topic on the question paper.

Can Beiling be abandoned?
Everyone was in an uproar, obviously a little surprised by this topic.

This topic is not difficult to say, easy to say.

The difficult thing is not knowing how to get into the eyes of the queen. The simple thing is that this is the topic, so I won't digress easily.

Hearing their sighs, the Queen's expression did not change at all, obviously anticipating everyone's reaction.

"Let's get started!" The maid in green reminded.

Everyone came to their senses and began to polish the ink answer sheet.

"The time has come."

Everyone returned to the side hall to wait, and the empress and a dozen ministers reviewed the papers.

The first thing the queen looked at was Pei Ling's answer sheet.

Pei Ling, the prime minister's eldest daughter, was known for her talent in the imperial city, and the empress was no stranger to her.

The queen was not surprised by her answer, after all, the prime minister is a typical opposition.

The queen skipped her and looked at the next picture.

The next one has talent, but lacks intention.

"Nanwan?"

Spotting a somewhat familiar name, the queen couldn't help but pull it out to take a closer look.

The literary talent is not as good as it is, but the idea is new, especially she also proposed several barely feasible methods.

"Is Nan Wan the daughter of Nan Xiuzhuan?" The Empress became interested and couldn't help asking the attendants beside her.

"Yes." The valet replied hastily.

"Pity."

Thinking of Nan Yuan who spent most of her life wasted in the Imperial Academy, the empress rarely sighed.

She values ​​Nan Yuan, after all, Nan Yuan's talent is not inferior to anyone.But the other party is really too stubborn, so he doesn't listen to persuasion.

Change etiquette?

Thinking of what the other party said before, the queen couldn't help feeling amused.

The etiquette adopts the old system, and even if she, the empress, wants to change it, the veteran officials don't agree, let alone Nan Yuan.

Hearing Nan Wan's name, the eldest princess beside her frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

The last time her mother and concubine just finished crying in front of her, saying that Lin Han is as stupid as a three-year-old child now, so she must avenge Lin Han.

Although she didn't like this cousin very much, she was someone she protected anyway.

If it wasn't for Nanwan, Lin Han wouldn't be what he is now.

There is ample time.

As long as Nan Wan is in the officialdom for one day, she can avenge her revenge.

Thinking of this, the depression in the eldest princess's heart dissipated a little, and she stood silently aside.

Nanwan and the others waited in the side hall for an unknown how long before the maid in green came over and told them to go to the Golden Luan Hall to face the saint.

"Students participate in your majesty, and your majesty is thousands of years old."

"Get up!" The Queen's voice was majestic, with no emotion.

Everyone got up and calmly accepted the scrutiny from all directions.

Before the palace examination, their parents and teachers warned them not to lose their manners in front of the palace.

The small ones were expelled, and the big ones cut off their official careers.

This was something they didn't want to see, so everyone tried their best to maintain their expressions.

Seeing them behave like this, the owner of the eyes nodded approvingly.

The maid in green cleared her throat and read the proposed ranking.

"No. [-] scholar, Pei Ling, bestowed official from the sixth rank to edit and write, with a Jinshi background."

Hearing this answer, no one was surprised.

"No. [-]..."

"Tanhua, Nanwan, given to the official to edit and write from the sixth rank, with a Jinshi background."

Nanban?

Hearing this name, everyone else was a little surprised.

They naturally knew Nan Wan, after all, she was the only one whose prodigal son would not return for money.

At the banquet of heroes, she shined brilliantly, but compared to the others, she still looked mediocre.

On the test list, her ranking is also high.

They have preconceived ideas, thinking that Nan Wan's literary talent is only slightly outstanding.

Today, the other party was appointed by His Majesty as Tanhua, which means that her talent is more outstanding than those present, so they are not surprised.

Nan Wan was also a little surprised, but she hid it well.

Without the obstruction of the crowd, several scrutinizing eyes looked over, one of which was particularly uncomfortable.

Nan Wan didn't need to guess, he knew who the owner of this gaze was?

After all, except for the eldest princess, no one would look at her like this.

"Nan Wan." The Queen suddenly said, "Would you like to go to the Ministry of Rites?"

The top three in the palace examination every year are basically admitted to the Imperial Academy for editing.

But Nanwan's situation is special, her mother is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and it is rare in the history of the imperial city for a mother and daughter to share the same official position.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate." The eldest princess immediately said, "Nan Wan's qualifications are shallow, and she is not qualified for the job."

"What's your opinion?"

The queen turned to look at the other ministers.

"The minister thinks it is feasible."

The Minister of Rites said respectfully.

Her daughter has a very close personal relationship with Nan Wan, so it's okay to help with a few words.

"The minister also thinks it is feasible."

As soon as she spoke, others also expressed their opinions.

"Your Majesty." The eldest princess was anxious, "The Ministry of Rituals is the most important thing in my court, I can't..."

"Okay." The queen gave her a warning look, "This is not the court."

The eldest princess stepped back reluctantly.

"Nanwan, are you willing?" the queen said seriously.

Seeing that Nanyuan has persisted for so many years, she can give the other party a chance to try.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nan Wan quickly saluted and thanked him.

"Go down!" The queen waved her hand, "I'm tired."

----

Nan Fu.

"Miss is back." Ji Fu saw Nan Wan's carriage from a distance, and trotted back.

"Xiao Yu."

Nan Wan got off the carriage and saw Pei Yu at a glance.

"Master wife."

Pei Yu stepped forward quickly and hugged Nan Wan excitedly.

"Why did you come out?" Nan Wan held his hand and walked inside.

"I want to see the wife master soon." Pei Yu said with a smile.

Although it's only been a day, Pei Yu feels that he hasn't seen Nan Wan for a long time.

I don’t see you in a day, thinking like crazy.

Thinking of that old saying, Pei Yu felt a little sweet in his heart.

Nan Wan was taken aback, and held Pei Yu's hand even tighter.
