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

Chapter 162 Can you please consider my feelings!

Long Xianxian also became more alert.

Emperor: "This imperial examination is a rare occasion to see a list of top scorers. It is truly a blessing for Dayong. I personally select Yun Qianhe, who ranked third on the gold list, as the third place winner!"

After hearing this, Yun Qianhe didn't seem surprised.

But Yun Qianyu frowned. His brother was more talented. In his eyes, his brother should be the top scorer.

But his brother won the third place in the imperial examination, and he was happier than his brother.

Yun Chongshan had never thought that he would be chosen by the emperor. After all, all the students in this class were very outstanding.

But it was really a surprise that his son could become the third place in the imperial examination, and he was even happier than if he had won the prize himself.

The classmates around congratulated Yun Qianhe.

Yun Qianhe stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appointment. I will remember your teachings!"

[Wow, Father, you and Xianxian are thinking alike. Xianxian also thinks this little brother is the third place winner. He's the only good-looking among these students.]

Bai Jinxi was stunned after hearing this.

She touched her face and looked at Yun Qianhe again.

How can a man be so good looking?

But she was used to seeing His Majesty and the princes in the palace, and few of the princes were ugly.

Especially the Fourth Prince, he is more handsome than Yun Qianhe.

But Lin Shiyin didn't think it was a big deal. To her, appearance didn't matter.

The emperor continued, "I personally select Lin Shiyin, the second-place winner on the gold list, as the runner-up!"

When Minister Lin heard this, his mouth opened with joy.

In the first session where women took the exam, a woman actually became the runner-up. That’s really amazing!

The ministers around congratulated Minister Lin.

"Minister Lin, congratulations!"

"Minister Lin has a good way of raising daughters. We should learn from him."

"Minister Lin's five daughters are all on the list, and this eldest daughter was even chosen as the runner-up. How amazing!"

……

The seventh prince was overjoyed when he heard what the emperor said.

Then he boasted to the princes around him: "This is my wife. Isn't my wife amazing? She got the second place in the imperial examination!"

The Fifth Prince: "My wife is a princess!"

The Fourth Prince: "What's the big deal? My wife is the great general who protects the country!"

The Third Prince: "At least I have a wife!"

The Second Prince: "At least..." There is someone beside this prince.

The Sixth Prince: "Can you please consider my feelings?"

……

Lin Shiyin stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Lin Shiyin will follow your instructions!"

The emperor nodded. Lin Shiyin was not only the runner-up, but also his future daughter-in-law.

It’s almost like the emperor’s own child. The emperor is happy to see that his child is so promising!

The next step is to select the top scholar.

Everyone became nervous at this moment.

Emperor: "I personally select Zhang Qianhe, who ranked first in the Golden Examination, as the top scholar of this imperial examination."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Zhang Qianhe.

Zhang Qianhe was stunned on the spot.

He... he is the top scorer?

The ministers were also surprised, but only the Grand Tutor stroked his beard and understood the deep meaning of His Majesty.

Your Majesty is determined to provide women with a path to advancement, which will inevitably lead to some sharp problems.

There is a stain on Zhang Qianhe, but this stain is precisely the problem.

During the palace examination, Zhang Qianhe had already made his position clear. He had a compassionate heart and, with the support of his grandfather, would be a sharp knife in the future for the reform of the administration and laws of His Majesty.

When Jun Jiuling saw Zhang Qianhe, his expression became even more complicated.

He looked at His Majesty. Why did His Majesty choose him as the top scholar?

When he thought of his daughter, he couldn't stop feeling sad.

He knew that it was not easy for Zhang Qianhe to get out of that environment, and he believed that his family deserved retribution.

Zhang Qianhe stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I...I feel that this is inappropriate. I believe that Yun Qianyu is the best candidate for the top scholar."

The emperor did not expect Zhang Qianhe to raise any objections.

He did consider Yun Qianyu, but the Yun family had no roots in Beijing, and if these reforms were left to him, they would inevitably encounter serious resistance.

Is this little brother still thinking about his parents? Honestly, not taking the imperial examination is a truly devastating mistake. Fortunately, the laws of Dayong didn't have such detailed restrictions, otherwise he wouldn't have been eligible to take the examination.

"Father, do you intend to use him as an example and set a good example in promoting this matter in the future? If so, it would be very appropriate."

[You don't have to worry about Yun Qianyu. He's also very capable. He doesn't need to be chosen as the top scholar by the emperor. He can still become the prime minister in the future!]

As soon as the little princess spoke her mind, everyone looked at Yun Qianyu.

Is this Yun Qianyu so powerful?

He actually became the prime minister!

The Yun family will be the new elite in the future!

The emperor looked at Yun Qianyu. He really didn't expect that he would become the prime minister in the future. But after thinking about it, he felt that he must be able to do it.

The emperor looked at Zhang Qianhe again and said, "I see your talent. You can grasp the key points of the matter through the law, which shows that you are cautious and fair. I also asked you, if this happened to your parents, what would you do?"

"In the future, you will serve as officials and role models for the people. If you are not upright, your suggestions and ideas will become empty talk."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

When Zhang Qianhe heard this, he suddenly understood.

Zhang Qianhe bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will follow your instructions and set an example for all the people."

Emperor: “Good!”

The top three have been determined and the palace examination is over.

Emperor: "The top three have been decided. The Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor will draft the court positions after the top three. The top 20 students in the Golden Examination, as well as the students on the Golden Examination list, will be drafted by the Ministry of Personnel and submitted to me after the list is prepared as appropriate."

The prime minister, the grand tutor, and people from the Ministry of Personnel stood up.

"The minister obeys the order!"

The Emperor said: "This concludes today's morning court session. You may proceed to the parade!"

When Long Xianxian heard this, she was extremely envious.

[Father, I also want to go out for a parade. Father, can Xianxian go out too?]

The emperor smiled and said: No!

Then, the emperor held Long Xianxian in his arms and left with three cheers of "Long live the emperor".

As soon as the emperor left, many court officials gathered around him.

Especially the top three, which were surrounded in three layers inside and outside.

The same goes for the Yun family father and son.

The Seventh Prince came to Lin Shiyin and said, "Shiyin, you are amazing. Congratulations!"

Although he already knew that his wife would be the runner-up, the Seventh Prince still couldn't help but feel happy.

Minister Lin is surrounded by people who flatter him, especially since he still has four unmarried beauties. Minister Lin is now the golden father-in-law of the dynasty.

The Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor were still discussing the positions of the top three when they saw the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy coming up to Zhang Qianhe.

Zhang Qianhe saw him and bowed respectfully.

Before, Jun Jiuling was someone he admired, but he never expected that he was actually his mother's father.

"Master Jun, student..."

"Zhuangyuanlang, after your parade, can we chat?"

Zhang Qianhe: "Okay, I'll go visit you tonight."

Jun Jiuling looked at Zhang Qianhe's appearance and found that he vaguely resembled his first wife.

His hands began to tremble slightly.

"Is your mother... okay? Is she in the capital?"

Zhang Qianhe: "My Lord, my mother is well. I wanted to bring her to see the lanterns during the imperial examination, so I brought her here."

Jun Jiuling: "Okay, okay, then I will wait for you in the mansion."

Jun Jiuling didn't expect that he would bring his mother with him to the imperial examination, which shows that he is very filial.

At this moment, Jun Jiuling felt relieved!

Surrounded by the crowd, the top three students of the dynasty were in front, and the other students were behind, heading towards the door in a mighty procession.

At this time, horses for parade had been prepared for them.

The top three students mounted their horses, gongs and drums sounded, and the parade of the top scholar began.
