The emperor smiled and said: "It's okay, you came at the right time, come here, and give the prime minister a seat."

Xie Suzhi was full of travel and dust, and his clothes still had traces of wet autumn dew, apparently he didn't even have time to go back home to change.

He sat down at the table where the powerful officials were seated, together with Taifu, General Chen and others.

Afterwards, Xie Suzhi looked at Shen Ningning, the little guy was even more excited, he almost couldn't sit still, and wanted to jump down and call his father.

However, Xie Suzhi just nodded slightly at her, smiled lightly, and then looked away.

Shen Ningning suddenly came back to his senses.

No, Dad doesn't know her identity yet, she can't show a rude appearance, making Dad think she is a child with no rules.

Thinking of this, the little guy sat upright with proper etiquette.

The pink face was serious.

She took the gift list from the eunuch, bowed her head slightly, and thanked the emperor and the prince.

Immediately afterwards, the congratulatory gifts presented by the guests were delivered to the long table beside her by the eunuchs like flowing water.

The little guy thanked everyone politely.

During this period, Concubine Rong always looked at her with a gentle smile.

The emperor said: "Ning Ning, from now on, you will be the princess of our Cangyun Kingdom recorded in the genealogy. Thousands of years later, the world will still see your name from our bamboo slips and books."

"Now Uncle Emperor needs you to take three sticks of incense, one stick to the ancestors of the Cangyun Kingdom, one stick to heaven and earth, and the other stick to Goddess of Rain."

Shen Ningning nodded obediently: "Okay."

The national teacher came forward with Qin Tianjian and several eminent monks from the national temple, and the eminent monks held the tablet of the founding emperor of Cangyun Kingdom.

On weekdays, the tablet is enshrined in the highest place of the pagoda in the national temple, and it is full of incense, but now it is canonized as the princess, and the emperor Taizu has been invited down.

Everyone was amazed, they whispered in low voices——

"The emperor really loves the house and the crow, and dotes on His Highness the Crown Prince, even Princess Funing is so partial."

"Who says it's not? I think it won't be too difficult for Princess Funing to confer the title of princess in the near future."

Shen Ningning held a stick of incense, kowtowed to Emperor Taizu, and then respected him.

Then, under the guidance of the national teacher, she kowtowed to the heaven and the earth, her small body knelt down and got up again and again, with some dust on her white forehead, but she was not impatient at all.

When it was the last step to offer incense to the Goddess of Rain, Shen Ningning had already kowtowed and wanted to insert the incense into the altar.

She put her little hand in, and suddenly, she cried out in pain: "Hiss!"

The little guy hastily withdrew his hand.

Mo Lingwei suddenly stood up and walked towards her: "What's wrong?"

All the guests present were looking forward to it.

Mo Lingwei held Shen Ningning's little hand, and saw a red spot on her fingertip was scalded by the fallen incense ash.

Shen Ningning blew twice, endured the pain and squeezed out a smile: "Brother, I'm fine, I was too careless just now."

The emperor hurriedly asked: "Do you need to send the imperial physician to prescribe some plaster?"

Shen Ningning shook her head: "It doesn't matter to me, Uncle Emperor."

Mo Lingwei confirmed that Shen Ningning was fine, and then took her little hand back to her position.

In this way, he did not forget to complain to the emperor in a cold voice: "Why does the father have to burn incense here to worship the gods? Usually, the canonization is done in the Taimiao."

The emperor smiled: "Didn't I want everyone to see that Ning Ning was granted the title? I also wanted to express my love for her."

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips, looked at Shen Ningning and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, brother!" The little guy smiled sweetly.

From the corner of her eye, she secretly looked at Prime Minister Xie Suzhi, and saw that he was drinking tea with his head bowed, as if he didn't pay attention to her side at all.

The little guy puffed out his cheeks, and comforted himself in his heart that it was okay.

Daddy doesn’t know she is his daughter yet!

After all the things were removed, the emperor said again: "Taking advantage of this auspicious day, I will announce another happy event. I heard that the results of the national school exams have come out."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Yuanjiu, who had always felt a little bored, immediately raised her head.

Emperor: "Minister of the Ministry of Rites, please read out the list of the top three candidates for the National Academy of Sciences in front of everyone."

"Yes." The Minister of the Ministry of Rites had already prepared, walked up and down in front of everyone, and pulled out the roll of list from his sleeve.

All the sons and ladies who were going to take the exam couldn't help pricking up their ears, looking forward to it.

Entering a national university is as difficult as climbing the sky. Sometimes even the powerful and powerful cannot get in. Who will be the three people who will be admitted this time?
The ladies around Xie Yuanjiu are already complimenting her——

"There must be Fourth Sister Xie."

"Maybe it's still No.1."

Xie Yuanjiu smiled lightly, dignified and generous: "Okay, even if it is true, don't preach it for me, I still like to keep a low profile."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites said, "No. 1 in the first class of the examination: Shen Ningning."

The audience was surprised.

Shen Ningning reacted, and a bright smile appeared on his face immediately.

Very good!
She passed the exam and gave the crazy scholar an explanation.

Mo Lingwei took the lead in applauding, followed by Lu Shaoyuan and Xie Mingxu, and the scene suddenly became heated.

"Princess Funing? What good things happened to her!"

"When I saw this little girl, she was smart. It's amazing!" The old lady sitting next to Xie Suzhi said with a smile.

General Chen nodded: "He is not an ordinary kid who came up with the idea of ​​leading a pack of wolves to rescue the refugees, he is really smart."

Xie Suzhi didn't say a word, just drank tea cup after cup.

At this time, the lady beside Xie Yuanjiu quickly comforted her: "Her number one might be fake. You will know how much the emperor loves her."

"It's okay, Fourth Sister Xie, No.2 and No.3, don't be ashamed."

Xie Yuanjiu's face even lost the smile.

The Minister of Rites announced the remaining two: "No.2 in the second class, Xu Jingxi; No.3 in the third class, Lu Shaoyuan."

Lu Shaoyuan jumped up in great surprise: "Okay! That's great, it's not in vain that my master reads with a lamp every day and night, and writes and writes with six Hu pens!"

After all his efforts, he was finally able to go to school with Shen Ningning again!

Commander Lu pressed him down and said with a faint smile, "Okay, don't get too carried away."

Xu Jingxi, No. 2 of the second class, was born in a poor family, so he was not invited to this canonization ceremony, but the good news will be delivered to his home soon.

Everyone congratulated each other and said auspicious words.

Only Xie Yuanjiu's side was lifeless, and those ladies who complimented her just now lowered their heads and didn't speak, which was extremely embarrassing.

It's too early to exaggerate, who would have thought that Xie Yuanjiu, who usually looks so talented, didn't even get into the top three of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After a while, Xie Yuanjiu took the initiative to smile and broke everyone's silence: "The chief of Funing County did well in the exam, let's go to congratulate him later."

Only then can the ladies agree with a smile: "Okay, that's for sure."

Shen Ningning was very excited at the moment, her pink face was filled with joy.

Relying on her own efforts, she passed the No. 1 exam of the National Academy of Sciences, and she is also the princess!
In this way, when she recognizes her father later, she can tell him openly that although she lived alone these years, she did not embarrass him.

Mo Ling saw that it was almost time, and was about to ask the emperor to help Shen Ningning recognize his relatives.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Xie Suzhi was one step ahead of him, stood up and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, since everyone is here today, I would also like to ask you to give me a favor."

The emperor immediately became interested: "Oh? Tell me quickly, what's the good thing?"

Concubine Rong looked at Xie Suzhi.

Everyone only heard Xie Suzhi's words: "I have found the whereabouts of my own daughter."

Like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, everyone was shocked.

Prime Minister Xie's daughter has been lost for so many years, has she been found?Who will it be?How lucky!

Xie Mingxu looked at Shen Ningning calmly, but saw that the little guy was also looking at Prime Minister Xie expectantly.

The emperor then became happy: "Really? Where is she now?"
