Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 498 The Palace Examination Finally Begins

Wen Lan still prefers the Ninth Prince to all the princes. At least he is more sober now and does not do those things in a daze. He does not form cliques for personal gain, is clear-headed, and acts decisively.

It was his credit that he was able to meet the three brothers of the Su family, otherwise the Su family would not have met him rashly. He was still grateful to him and would rather be on good terms with him than against him.

He was taking the time to teach his three apprentices so that they could get a good ranking in the final palace examination. Since he had accepted them, he had to provide them with the best help and teach them everything he had learned in his life.

The palace examination finally arrived, and this time the number of people was very small. The top candidates finally got the best chance. They were dressed neatly and elegantly, and were led to the main hall by the officials in front of the palace.

There are no officials attending court in the main hall today, as it is reserved for those successful candidates in the imperial examination to take part in the palace examination.

In the solemn and grand hall, the emperor was already wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the high dragon throne. He looked at these students with a majestic look as they stood up in order and knelt together. He asked them to stand up.

They sat behind the examination table, ready to answer the questions. They all lowered their heads and waited quietly, not daring to move around for fear of angering the emperor.

The emperor was accompanied by the Ninth Prince, and this time he personally chose this boy to follow him, so he couldn't watch him live so freely. This boy was getting smarter and smarter, and he even learned to evade responsibility and was unwilling to share the affairs with him.

If your son doesn't want to share the worries and difficulties of the court, then just capture him and keep him by your side to see where he runs.

She also told him that she liked her uncle and that he longed for such a life. He still longs for such a life now! But as a royal child, can he make a free choice? If he hadn't argued at that time, he would have gone to the imperial mausoleum to accompany his ancestors.

This kid is envious of his uncle. If his brother hadn't been protected by him, he would have gone to accompany his brothers. No one can get peace without paying for it.

He knew that this boy was smart, especially after going to the border town, he became clear-headed and smart, which was what he wanted to see, to show that his children were not all confused.

He would eventually grow old, and a son would have to inherit his huge business after a hundred years. He hoped that his children would not kill each other and that the transition would be smooth.

He is very optimistic about this Old Nine now, so he will take him with him to teach him and let him see some of the affairs of the court.

The Ninth Prince was actually very confused now. He used to always get close to his father and was always scolded. Now, he stopped trying to join in the fun, but his father would often bring him close.

He was so annoyed that he was brought along for the palace examination, and the other brothers had already squeezed him out several times. How could they know that he didn't want to come at all, and how much money he would lose by delaying the process?

This emperor looked good. You can see how tired he was. He had to sit there for the whole morning and watch these students. He wanted to dig out some extraordinary talents from their performance and cultivate good talents for the court.

He saw many familiar faces among them, including the three brothers of the Su family. It was worthwhile for him to introduce them to the teacher. The three brothers of the Su family were kind-hearted by nature, and they should be able to get a good official position this time. He would help them.

He didn't mind doing this. The Su family was a good family. Since he was friends with them, everyone knew about it, so he didn't need to be so shy. Besides, the little girl Su He also needed a strong backer. If his brothers had a good future, it would mean a change in their family's status.

Su Pei and the others also saw the Ninth Prince beside the Emperor. He was very different at this time. He was wearing a brocade official uniform, with sharp eyes and a straight body. He looked so high and mighty.

There was no longer the pleasant and cheerful expression with them, only the royal majesty. The face that resembled the emperor could not be ignored at first sight. They were of the unattainable royal bloodline, with a unique temperament.
