Nangong Che and Nangong Yun both performed exceptionally well in the palace examination today.
No one can shake Nangong Che's number one position, but Nangong Yun's ranking has improved so much that Su Rong actually mentioned it to fifth place. If the results of the palace examination were released, countless people would definitely talk about it, so Su Rong first mentioned this The papers of the two were shown to all the students present for the palace examination to see if they were convinced by comparing their own papers with these two papers.
Less than half an hour later, everyone had finished reading. For a while, no one had any objections. Even the two cousins of the Cui family all handed over to Nangong Che, "Brother Nangong, you are really a great talent. I admire you."
Nangong Che quickly returned the gift, "Thank you, Brother Cui."
With this beginning, Nangong Che was surrounded by everyone, and the palace examination became lively.
Nangong Yun surpassed countless students, but she was a woman after all. She was not as popular as Nangong Che, but she was also surrounded by many people.
After Su Rong and others were busy for a while, he said, "Don't forget to attend the Qionglin Banquet in three days. Don't forget to attend on time."
Everyone hurriedly raised their hands and said, "Yes, Madam, I don't dare to forget."
Su Rong ordered people to post the imperial list, and then went out for the palace examination with Zhou Gu and King Nan Chu.
As soon as the three of them left, someone became bolder and expressed his admiration for Nangong Che, "Brother Nangong, you are so awesome. The queen and the queen's husband personally polished the ink for you. You are the only one in the past."
Nangong Che said quickly: "It's my honor."
At that time, the concubine polished the ink for him with her own hands. He was completely shocked. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to do. But when he looked up and saw the concubine's clear and calm eyes, the turmoil in his heart gradually calmed down. I was thinking, why did the concubine grind the ink with her own hands for him? That could only be because of his articles, not because of his surname or person. After all, he didn't feel that his surname and person had any merit in front of the princess.
The concubine only sees his talent, so given this honor, he must not let her down.
In particular, this is a palace examination. The princess's move of polishing ink for him will be spread out soon after the palace examination, and his article will also be spread out. He needs to write this article well so that people can criticize it in the future. It can also be said that his articles are not insulting because the concubine polished the ink for him with her own hands.
At that moment, a lot of thoughts were running through his mind. After they quickly subsided, he allowed himself to immerse himself in the article with all his strength, without daring to be distracted in the slightest.
Therefore, when did the concubine come, when did the concubine take over and polish the ink for him personally? He didn't know when the person was replaced, let alone when there was an extra person in front of him. In his eyes and mind, there were only papers and test questions at that time, and he only wanted to live up to the honor of being able to polish the ink with his own hands as the queen today.
"The concubine also polished the ink for you with her own hands. I saw it." One person said with emotion: "Brother Nangong, you are really amazing."
"Yes, Brother Nangong, your answers are perfect in this paper. If it were me, the concubine and the concubine standing in front of me, I would not be able to write anything."
"That's right. I'm afraid I'll be so excited that I can't hold the pen."
"Brother Nangong, you are still able to hold on, and you are worthy of it."
"..."
Everyone gathered around Nangong Che, talking to each other.
Nangong Che has not received such respect and attention from others for a long time, or it cannot be said that it has been a long time. Growing up, although his surname was Nangong, his family was too poor and too weak. Although he would not be bullied, after all, he had a lot of money on his head. He has a surname of Nangong, but he has not received much care and love.
There are too many outstanding children of the Nangong family, and there is no shortage of him. There are also many internal battles. He is even too small to dare to show his talents too much, lest he be squeezed out and stepped into the mud before he catches the eyes of the head of the Nangong family. Never seen the light of day.
It was the first time for him to feel the admiration of people around him when he released the results of the test, but more importantly, he was surprised and shocked. After all, everyone thought that the surname Nangong had long been eliminated in the Nanchu Dynasty and was impossible to overturn.
During today's imperial examination, he truly experienced the true respect and envy of others. It seems that from now on, he will be above the clouds, with a bright future, no more twists and hardships, no hopelessness and darkness.
This was because he had passed this level on his own, but it was also because the concubine was so broad-minded that she built the ladder for him with her own hands.
Nangong Yun is not jealous of Nangong Che. She also has the same surname of Nangong. As a woman, she is more aware of how remarkable she has been to this point. Even if her talent is not enough for the concubine to polish ink with her own hands, the concubine has appointed her Winning her second place in the top two is enough for her to enter the history of women's Enke.
In addition, the two women who were on the list with her also performed very stably. They were not ranked high or low in the top three, but they were at their best level.
One woman is Du Chunlan and the other is Liu Zhuxi.
The two of them gathered around Nangong Yun and said sincerely: "Nangong Yun has risen so many ranks in the palace examination, you are really amazing."
Nangong Yun smiled at the two of them and whispered: "Seeing the grace of the princess, I was so excited that my heart surged for a moment, and I performed extraordinary."
"We were also excited, but it's a pity that we couldn't perform exceptionally." Du Chunlan said in a low voice.
Liu Zhuxi nodded.
Nangong Yun smiled and lowered her voice, "You are different from me. I thought that if I didn't have a chance, I would just give it a try. Once I found out that there was a chance for me to show it, I was so excited that I couldn't contain it."
The two of them understood immediately, because her surname was Nangong, and now the surname Nangong made these people who could not leave Nanchu live a difficult life in the past year, and they naturally endured it more than ordinary people.
There are very few people who can seize this opportunity, but both she and Nangong Che have seized this opportunity. It can be said that they have skyrocketed. This was something that no one expected before the scientific examination.
"Let's go have a drink together." Du Chunlan invited the two of them, "Sister Liu knows how to drink. I wonder if Sister Nangong can drink?"
"You can have two drinks." Nangong Yun replied.
"In that case, let's go." Du Chunlan pulled them together.
The three of them walked away together.
Nangong Che was also invited to have a drink with him. Nangong Che nodded happily. He was not a nerd. These people would be colleagues in the court in the future. Getting to know each other well in advance would also facilitate future official dealings.
Just as Su Rong guessed, after the imperial examination, the imperial list was posted, and two people aroused unprecedented discussion. One of them was Nangong Che, the number one scholar, and Nangong Yun, who was suddenly promoted to the second place in the second class.
As the names of these two people were discussed, the top ten test papers were copied and posted. The original test papers of all students in this class were sealed and kept.
Nangong Xin and the nanny who was serving him sighed, "These two people are really competing for face."
Mammy smiled and said: "My princess has a broad heart, and she is generous when she is open to all rivers."
Nangong Xin immediately laughed, "Yes, if she didn't have the capacity to tolerate others, how could I have the good life I have now."
Grandma agreed, "Your years of hard work are not in vain..."
