After the prince's wedding, the examination every three years is coming soon.
The Imperial Examination, also known as the Chunwei Examination, is an imperial examination for selecting people to become Jinshi.
Because her eldest brother Han Yucheng would also end up this time, Princess Yu was very concerned about this.
Chu Siqing asked her curiously: [Concubine, uncle, are you sure? 】
She remembered that her eldest uncle took the imperial examination at such a young age before he even got the imperial examination. Could he be a genius?
Princess Yu said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a try. It doesn't matter if you don't win. It's good to gain some experience."
She was both proud and distressed for her eldest brother.
After the death of his mother, his father helped the Wang family, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to their siblings, and even deprived them of food and clothing.
Han Yucheng saw this and wanted to get ahead, which led to his calm personality and his ambition to make progress since he was a child.
Princess Yu was afraid that the Wang family would not pay attention, so she personally prepared the expenses for her brother's nine-day trial.
Whether it was the bedding to be brought to the Gongyuan, the pen and ink to be used in the test, or the food for the past few days, Princess Yu had prepared everything for her brother.
Before the examination, Princess Yu specially called her two younger brothers and gave them some instructions.
Seeing the two uncles coming over, Chu Siqing extended her little hand to her uncle without hesitation and uttered a few milky sounds: "Hug~"
Such a handsome young man with a jade-like face is a perfect male god!
Han Yucheng smiled knowingly and hugged Chu Siqing on his lap.
Han Nanxing felt that she was being ignored by her niece, so she quickly went to tease her: "Siqing, don't you remember your second uncle?"
His voice has already healed, and his speech is not as ugly as the previous drake voice.
Chu Siqing said "Ahhh" to him a few times, then raised her little face and stared at the handsome uncle, looking like a little nympho, almost drooling.
When Han Nanxing saw this, he scratched Chu Siqing's face and said in a funny and puzzled way: "Obviously my eldest brother and I are brothers, why is Siqing always closer to my eldest brother?"
Chu Siqing thought to herself: [Because my uncle is my male god! 】
Han Yucheng smiled and said, "Maybe it's because my sister and I look alike."
He let Chu Siqing's chubby hand grasp his fingers, and he clearly liked his niece's closeness to him.
Princess Yu joked: "Siqing always likes elegant people."
Everyone said a few more common things together.
Finally, Princess Yu said to her eldest brother: "Yucheng, my sister has prepared everything you need for the test. Just do your best when the time comes, don't be too nervous."
Han Yucheng's eyes were filled with tears, and he said gratefully: "Sister, I'm sorry to have to worry about you."
Princess Yu patted his shoulder: "Spring will last for nine days, thank you for your hard work."
Han Nanxing interjected: "Sister, don't worry, eldest brother Qiu Wei has lived like this too, there must be no problem!"
Princess Yu glanced at him: "Nan Xing, it's so easy for you to say, then let me ask you, you and General Fang have been studying for so long, when can you take the martial arts test for me?"
Han Nanxing touched his head and said sarcastically: "I originally wanted to take the exam, but Master said I wasn't ready enough."
Princess Yu said: "Just listen to General Fang, study hard for a few more years, learn to be more calm, and don't be irritable."
Han Nanxing's self-confidence was overwhelming: "Sister, don't worry, in a few years I will definitely become the top scholar in martial arts and show it to you!"
Chu Siqing snickered in her heart: [Second uncle is so incredibly confident! 】
The corners of Princess Yu's mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Then I'll wait and see."
On the day of the examination, Han Nanxing accompanied Han Yucheng to line up outside Gongyuan early, and they would stay there for nine days.
Princess Yu was inevitably worried outside.
She, who does not believe in Buddhism, actually took Chu Siqing to temples and Taoist temples to burn incense in the past few days, hoping to bless her brother's success in the imperial examination.
Chu Siqing couldn't help teasing her mother in her heart: [Mother, concubine, you used to say that you came to temples and Taoist temples mainly to enjoy the scenery, and to burn incense just by the way. Why are you praying to gods and worshiping Buddha now? 】
Princess Yu was a little embarrassed, and said to her daughter: "Siqing, your uncle is taking an exam in the Gongyuan. I'm a little worried, but I can't do anything, so I have to come here for peace of mind."
Chu Siqing snickered and said: [Mother, concubine, it turns out that when it’s your relatives’ turn, your rationality is no longer firm! Ha ha! 】
Princess Yu said: "It's all human nature. You see, your Majesty once cracked down on folk deceptions, but he never banned formal Taoist temples and temples."
She looked at the Bodhisattva and said to her daughter: "It's just because sometimes, we need someone to rely on."
Nine days later, the examination ended and when the Gongyuan was opened again, Princess Yu took her daughter and Han Nanxing to wait outside for Han Yucheng to come out.
The outside of Gongyuan was surrounded by people like them, all waiting for the candidates to come out.
With the sound of a gong, the heavy door of Gongyuan opened from the inside, and countless expectant eyes looked towards the door.
The examiners came out first, followed by the candidates who participated in the Spring Festival.
Chu Siqing sat on her second uncle's shoulder and saw her eldest uncle with sharp eyes.
She said "Ahhh" a few times, stretched out her chubby hand, and pointed in a direction.
Princess Yu and Han Nanxing looked over and saw Han Yucheng, who looked haggard.
Han Yucheng couldn't help but smile knowingly as he looked at his sister, niece and brother waiting for him.
When the person came closer, Princess Yu saw that her eldest brother's eyes were a bit green, and she couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Yucheng, thank you for your hard work."
Han Yucheng smiled and said: "Sister, I think it's okay, everyone is the same anyway."
Han Nanxing carried Chu Siqing on his back, put his nose to his eldest brother and smelled it, and immediately screamed: "Brother, you smell bad!"
After saying that, he immediately said to the little niece on his shoulder: "Siqing, do you still want your uncle to hug you? He stinks!"
Chu Siqing immediately rolled her eyes at him.
[Second uncle is so bad! 】
Seeing his brother's funny look, Han Yucheng suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and even the fatigue from the exam was relieved a bit.
Princess Yu also smiled and said: "Nan Xing, how can you say that to your elder brother? He is really a narrow-minded person!"
A few people returned to Uncle Ning Yuan's house chatting and laughing.
Ning Yuanbo stroked his beard and asked his son, "Yucheng, how did you do in the exam this time?"
Han Yucheng said: "Father, my son thinks it's okay."
Han Nanxing said carelessly: "Brother is being modest. If you say it's acceptable, you're sure!"
Wang said: "Yucheng has always been very good at school, and this time our family is probably going to have a top scholar!"
Princess Yu glanced at her and said calmly: "When you are young, it would be better for your mother not to praise her."
Wang still wanted to defend himself, but Uncle Ning Yuan had already glared at him: "Don't talk too much!"
Wang had no choice but to shut up, but her face looked very ugly.
Princess Yu ignored her and continued talking to her father.
