Sheng Yuan didn't know that this small test in her life had caused everyone in the house to have their own thoughts.
Ever since she received generous rewards from her parents and grandfather, she had forgotten about her grades and continued to live her heartless, oh, no, carefree life of studying.
From time to time, he would be taken to the palace to play like he did when he was a child.
No, five or six days before school started, it was the day when Aunt Qi would take her to the palace.
"Your Majesty is also in Manfu Palace today. When I went out to pick you up, Your Majesty said that I haven't seen you for a while and I want to have a good talk today." Aunt Qi walked on the palace road and talked to Sheng Yuan with a smile. explain.
Hearing this, Sheng Yuan opened her eyes happily: "The emperor was busy with government affairs a few times in the past, so I couldn't bother him. If you see him today, I will give you a good greeting!"
"Yes, your Majesty and the Queen miss you." Aunt Qi agreed with a smile.
Sheng Yuan smiled innocently on her face, but sighed in her heart. She said she was busy with government affairs, which was just an excuse.
The reason why I didn’t see the emperor the first few times I entered the palace was because Long was slightly ailing and needed to recuperate;
During this period, even the queen rarely met, let alone her!
Arriving at Manfu Palace, Sheng Yuan walked inside with familiarity. As soon as the palace official finished the announcement, she happily jumped in.
She also likes this queen who truly cares about her as her granddaughter!
Sure enough, when she saw Sheng Yuan, the fine lines on the queen's face relaxed.
She greeted Sheng Yuan without waiting for her salute, touched her little hands and her little face, and said she was much more beautiful.
Sheng Yuan smiled and nodded in approval. She was able to achieve a new level of beauty every ten days in Manfu Palace!
Hearing the lively chat between Sheng Yuan and the Queen, Emperor Chengyuan, who was resting in the side hall, walked out with a smile.
After some salutes, everyone sat down and Emperor Chengyuan and Sheng Yuan started chatting.
At first, it was just the elders teasing the children, like, how does it feel to be the first in the entrance examination for elementary school, should you continue to do so in the future, are you looking forward to the life of elementary school, do you like to study, are you tired from studying... this kind of thing Frequently asked questions.
Emperor Chengyuan asked casually, but Sheng Yuan answered with great care. To her, ranking or not was not important, as long as she could be on the list.
"It's good if you can continue on this path of study. Ranking is secondary, and happiness is the most important." Sheng Yuan also said this for the system to hear.
Ever since she received the admission letter from Meng Xue, the system has been agitated from time to time. The implicit intention is to make her get used to studying hard.
Sheng Yuan didn't understand. It took others five hours to learn the same classics. She could finish it in three hours at most by adding in the time for review and consolidation. With the extra two hours, she could just play around with it. What's wrong? Why? Want to study hard? Now she doesn't have to prepare for the childbirth test.
When Emperor Chengyuan heard her words, she felt very childish. After all, she was still young and did not understand the importance of studying in the imperial examination. Then she said with a smile: "You little kid is so thoughtful."
Sheng Yuan nodded repeatedly, indicating that she is a person who follows her words and deeds: "People just have to be more open-minded. A day of happiness is a day, and a day of sadness is also a day. Even a baby knows how to choose!"
Emperor Chengyuan looked at the child Yuanlan's body and nodded in approval: "I see, you have such a generous heart!"
After he said this, without giving the little guy time to react, he added: "Then how come I heard that you wrote a poem during the exam to boast that you learned about the fifth watch day? What does the fifth watch day look like in the Duke's Mansion? Have you seen it?"
Sheng Yuan shook her head honestly: "No, the imperial doctor said that children need to sleep more to grow better."
At this point, she remembered that Emperor Chengyuan had not answered the previous question, and added slowly: "Literati like to boast. Since I have studied, I can naturally be regarded as a literati."
Emperor Chengyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her seriously saying that she was a literati: "That's right, you are already reading and literate, so you can be considered a literati... Then tell me, what do you, a little literati, want to do in the future?"
Sheng Yuan did not expect that the emperor, like ordinary adults, especially liked to ask children about their ideals for the future.
"I originally wanted to be a wealthy and idle person like my father, but my father refused to agree. He also said that I should work hard to get into the Imperial College so that I can get a recommended quota to work in the future."
Sheng Yuan couldn't help but feel a little worried when she said this. If she was elected to the official position, it would not be easy to join the cabinet.
"What's wrong with being rich and idle? How happy it is to be leisurely, act casually, and behave as you please." Empress Qin felt that Sheng Yuan's ideal was quite good.
Emperor Chengyuan didn't answer, and asked Sheng Yuan again: "You have been studying in Jiujiang Academy for several years. Have you seen the students in classes A, B, and C?"
We both studied in the same academy, and although we didn't cross paths, we could see each other from time to time.
"Then if I put you in that environment to study, would you be happy?"
"I'm glad!" Sheng Yuan nodded vigorously and smoothly stated the agreement between herself and her classmates.
Emperor Chengyuan didn't expect that these two little girls were quite ambitious. He couldn't help but feel a little happy. He stroked his beard and said, "Then if you are asked to take the scientific examination, do you dare to take it?"
"Of course I dare!" Sheng Yuan patted her chest and straightened her back confidently, "I'm the best at taking exams!"
In her previous life, she took the simulated exams of major and small exams, and she was not afraid of every situation; she also took the additional test of written test and interview, and she tried her best.
Therefore, her self-confidence is not a rootless tree or water, it is well-founded!
It's just that neither Emperor Chengyuan nor Queen Qin took these words seriously. They only thought it was a big talk made by the little guy when he was satisfied.
Of course, in their eyes, Sheng Yuan is cute even if she talks big words.
"Oh, so sure?! Then if you accidentally pass the Six Yuan exam, wouldn't you be able to become an official in the imperial court? Are you afraid of standing in front of so many princes?" Emperor Chengyuan pretended to be surprised. Keep teasing her.
Sheng Yuan was a little hesitant when he heard this.
Emperor Chengyuan and Queen Qin couldn't help but feel strange when they saw her like this. They thought to themselves, is this child still afraid?
Empress Qin glanced at Emperor Chengyuan and complained in her heart that he was teasing the child. She wanted to comfort the little guy and let her know that the emperor was just joking and there was nothing to worry about.
But before she could speak, Sheng Yuan started discussing with Emperor Chengyuan: "Your Majesty, uncle, do you have to pass the sixth grade to enter the court? Can the conditions be relaxed?"
Then, she recounted her brother's experience during the exam: "A smart young man like my brother has never received a small three yuan, let alone me."
Emperor Chengyuan didn't expect to hear from this child that others were better than her. He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Your brother studies so well? Is he better than you?"
"Yeah!" Sheng Yuan nodded quickly when he mentioned this, and gave an example, "Brother, he has a photographic memory!"
"Photographic memory?" Emperor Chengyuan blinked and asked sincerely, "Is this difficult?"
"Gah?!" Sheng Yuan felt like something was wrong after hearing this.
