Mind Reading: Who understands? The emperor finally has a princess.

Chapter 147: Little Princess, are you sure you are not exaggerating?

Then gongs and drums sounded outside.

When the emperor heard this, he happily came out holding the little princess and decided to go back to the palace to take a look.

At this time, a group of people were already heading towards the Prime Minister's Residence.

When several old ministers saw this, they were no longer in a hurry to get the prime minister drunk.

"Your Majesty, the results of the civil service examination have been released. The Hanlin Academy should have already sent them to the palace and the homes of the scholars."

Soon, gongs and drums outside the prime minister's residence began to sound.

Everyone remembered that the little princess had said before that the prime minister's son had the talent of a top scholar. Could it be that the person number one on the list was the prime minister's son?

Grand Tutor: "Congratulations, Prime Minister! Double happiness!"

The Grand Commandant said: "A tiger father will have a dog son. The Prime Minister's Mansion has produced another top scholar."

The Imperial Censor said: "Your family has produced two number one scholars. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, your family is the first of its kind in the world!"

After a while, someone arrived at the prime minister's residence.

When the visitor saw that the emperor was there, he knelt down and paid his respects.

The Emperor said, "No need to be so polite, but has the list of successful candidates for the civil service examination been released?"

The man said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the list of successful candidates has been released. After the Hanlin Academy finished reviewing the papers, they have already sent the list to the palace. The Hanlin Academy has sent me to deliver a copy to the Prime Minister and other ministers as well."

The emperor said: "Well, these are all the pillars of Dayong."

Then, the man presented the list to the emperor.

The Emperor: "I believe the Prime Minister's son will be the first in this imperial examination!"

The Prime Minister couldn't help but feel proud at this moment. Who doesn't want his son to become the top scholar?

The emperor handed Xianxian to the wet nurse beside him and took the gold list.

But when I opened it, I found that the first place was an unfamiliar name.

The emperor was stunned. Why wasn’t he the prime minister’s son?

He looked down again and saw that the second place was Minister Lin’s daughter, Lin Shiyin.

He has already betrothed Lin Shiyin to his seventh son.

Looking further, the five golden flowers of the Lin family and several people from the palace were all on the list, and the emperor was very happy.

Seeing the emperor's smug expression, everyone was wondering how the prime minister's son performed in the exam.

After reading it, the emperor did not even look at the name of the prime minister's son. He couldn't help but become curious. What went wrong?

The Prime Minister looked eagerly, and then asked: "Your Majesty, I want to take a look at this list too!"

The emperor looked at the prime minister with a complicated look, and then gave the list to the prime minister.

Seeing Minister Lin not far away, the emperor looked friendly.

"Minister Lin, congratulations! Your eldest daughter, Lin Shiyin, has placed second on the gold list. All five of the Golden Flowers are on the list. Congratulations!"

This made Minister Lin very happy. He had nine daughters and was often looked down upon. But now he was in high spirits.

"Really? All five of my daughters are in high school. That's awesome!"

Lord Lin was very happy.

Others congratulated Lord Lin.

"Congratulations, Master Lin, for raising five wonderful daughters!"

"Lord Lin, I heard that your eldest daughter, Lin Shiyin, is betrothed to the Seventh Prince. What a double blessing!"

"Master Lin, I have a son who is of marriageable age, about the same age as your second daughter. Why don't we discuss this in detail?"

"Master Lin is amazing. Is your family in need of a live-in son-in-law?"

……

Everyone was complimenting Minister Lin.

The Prime Minister became cold.

The Prime Minister looked at the list, still a little bit incredulous.

what happened?

How come his son's name is not there?

He looked carefully from the first to the last, but still couldn't find it.

The Grand Tutor also came over and said, "Prime Minister, let me see, Bowen is definitely the first on this gold list!"

The Prime Minister stood there in a daze, the list in his hand had already been taken away by the Grand Tutor.

When the Grand Tutor saw this, he was also stunned.

This...how is this possible?

Fang Bowen’s name is not on the entire gold list.

Fang Bowen, who was standing by, became nervous. He knew how capable he was.

Before the exam, he told his father that he was just literate, but his father kept saying that he was a top scorer.

As long as he takes the exam, it will be fine.

He studied hard during those days, but it was too difficult for him.

He didn't expect that even though he had a prime minister as his father, he still had to study at such an old age!

He used to be a sack carrier at the dock!

The Grand Tutor looked at the Prime Minister in shock: "Prime Minister, what's going on? Why isn't Bowen's name on the list of honors?"

Xie Maner also came over and grabbed the list.

I looked around but couldn't find Fang Bowen's list.

Then, Xie Maner looked at the Grand Tutor and said, "Grandpa, you lied to me. Didn't you tell me that Bowen would definitely be the top scorer? Why isn't his name on the list?"

For this reason, the Grand Tutor often told her how good Fang Bowen was.

Xie Maner looked at Fang Bowen with mixed feelings.

Fang Bowen is very honest and simple-minded. To be honest, she still likes him.

But she never thought that these were all talented people packaged by her grandfather and the prime minister.

So is his simplicity and honesty real?

Fang Bowen felt guilty when Xie Maner stared at him, and he didn't know how to tell her.

The Prime Minister was very happy today and was originally very pleased.

His wife was saved by the little princess, and the day before yesterday she got engaged to the Grand Tutor's family. He was just waiting for Fang Bowen's college entrance examination results to come out, which made him even happier.

As a result, Fang Bowen didn't even make it onto the gold list.

The prime minister felt embarrassed.

He didn't expect this either. The little princess had clearly said that his son had the talent to be the top scholar!

Long Xianxian was still chewing on peach blossom pastry in her wet nurse's arms.

[Grandma Xier's peach blossom pastry is so delicious. Father, could you please pack some for me before we leave?]

The prime minister was a little anxious and wanted to ask the little princess, but he didn't know where to start.

Grand Tutor: "Prime Minister, you have to give me an explanation. You are cheating my granddaughter. Fang Bowen can't even make the gold list. Why did you let him take the exam?"

Prime Minister: "Grand Master, what are you talking about? You knew that my Bowen might be the top scholar, but you came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get engaged to my Bowen. Didn't I force you to do that?"

Grand Tutor: "Your Prime Minister is a liar. The engagement of the two children is cancelled!"

The Prime Minister said, "Grand Master, are you shameless? You were so eager to get engaged to my family before, but now that Bowen didn't pass the exam, you want to cancel the engagement. You are still a Grand Master, how can you be so snobbish!"

The two of them started arguing.

No one expected that they would encounter so many melons just by coming to a banquet.

The Imperial Censor immediately took out his pen and began to write down what he had written.

When the general saw it, he hurried over.

"Doctor Yushi, you brought a pen even to a wedding. You're so dedicated!"

The Imperial Censor smiled broadly: "You are all important officials in the court. Of course, I must pay special attention to you."

As soon as the Imperial Censor said this, the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor stopped talking immediately.

Looking at the people around me, it would be so embarrassing if the quarrel continued.

Xie Maner seemed to have made some decision, and then came before the Grand Tutor.

Fang Bowen became nervous when he saw Xie Maner stand up.

She is angry!

Is she going to break off the engagement?

Fang Bowen knew that he was not worthy of Xie Maner, so he lowered his head.

Xie Maner: "Grandpa, I really like Bowen, I... don't want to cancel the engagement."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Bowen suddenly raised his head.

"I've calculated that the Prime Minister's son and this young lady are a match made in heaven. You two old men, please don't break them up. Furthermore, with the young lady's help, the Prime Minister's son actually passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer."

When everyone heard the little princess's thoughts, they were stunned again!

Really?

Little princess, are you sure you are not exaggerating?
