Above the Golden Palace, Yu Ning, who has now been promoted to a female official and is in charge of all affairs in the harem, stands behind Xie Chunchao, looking at the ten students who have arrived.

They are all capable people of Xia State and the ten most outstanding candidates this year.

Among them are old people, middle-aged people who are upright and in their prime, and young people with immature faces.

They all knelt down and saluted. After the emperor spoke, they stood up and raised their heads, but their eyes were always lowered. Without the emperor's permission, they did not dare to raise their heads and look directly at the sky.

Yu Ning's eyes fell on the face of the handsome young man, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.

He... looks a bit familiar, as if he has seen him somewhere.

But she couldn't remember it for a moment.

After Rong Shen looked around, he asked, "Who among you is Qin Yin?"

The young man who was familiar to Yu Ning stepped forward and said, "It's me."

Rong Shen and Xie Chunchao both had a flash of surprise in their eyes. Just looking at the article, they thought it would be written by at least a middle-aged man, but they didn't expect that the man was so young.

Rong Shen praised, "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. Your article and I have read it, it's great."

The man received the praise, but his face remained calm. He lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."

When the questions began, Rong Shen first asked questions to torture everyone.

Some of them were eloquent, and some were mediocre in performance, but when it was Qin Yin's turn, he lived up to the expectations of Xie Chunchao and Rong Shen. Not only did he speak well, but his deportment and temperament were also impeccable.

Xie Chunchao and Rong Shen looked at each other and both knew who the top pick of this year should be.

After Rong Shen finished answering the test questions, Xie Chunchao asked another torture question.

This time the winner is still Qin Yin.

Regarding the candidate for No. 1 Scholar, both Xie Chunchao and Rong Shen had no doubts about Qin Yin.

The third overall winner was a middle-aged man with good grades and good looks, while the second overall winner was an old man in his fifties.

After the court, Yu Ning quietly said to Xie Chunchao, "I always feel that today's number one scholar looks a bit familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere."

Xie Chunchao thought for a while and said, "Perhaps you met him on the road when you were out on the street. After all, you will never forget his appearance and temperament."

Yu Ning thought about it and felt that what Xie Chunchao said made sense, so she said, "It should be like this."

Xie Chunchao raised his head from the complicated memorials and joked, "Did you see his handsomeness and have other thoughts?"

Yu Ning blushed instantly, "What are you talking about, my lady? If my wife finds out about this, she will definitely make trouble with me again."

Yu Ning also decided to get married when Xie Chunchao was pregnant. Her lover was the young general she met in Chu State at that time.

When Yu Ning accompanied Xie Chunchao to leave the Xia Kingdom, that person also followed in Yu Ning's footsteps and accompanied her all the way from the prosperous Kingdom to the current Xia Kingdom.

It’s also infatuated.

Now, under Xie Chunchao's arrangement, he has become a small leader in the imperial guards, and Yu Ning is now actually the wife of a young general.

In fact, she could go back and enjoy the happiness, but she refused to leave. She said that Qiu Qingying and the others all had their own careers, and she also wanted to do something instead of staying in the back house waiting for another person to come home.

Xie Chunchao had always been very kind to Yu Ning. After hearing what she said, he agreed to her request and kept her as a female official in the palace. She took two days off every seven days to reunite with her husband.

Xie Chunchao smiled and continued to look down at the memorial.

Suddenly, a young eunuch walked quickly outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the family letter from Chu State has arrived."

Xie Chunchao heard this and quickly took the letter from the little eunuch's hand. She opened the letter and read it slowly.

In addition to expressing his longing for her, the letter also wrote about two major events.

First, his father abdicated the throne in favor of his elder brother.

Secondly, my brother is getting married. The letter said that the woman was the girl his brother met when he returned to Chu from Xia. The girl was from a clean background. Her family was in business and she seemed to be very wealthy.

The elder brother finally brought the man back to Chu State and proposed marriage without stopping.

Judging from the tone of the father and mother, they were quite satisfied with this girl.

Xie Chunchao breathed a sigh of relief, his brother's big incident was finally settled.

It's just that the girl seems to dislike staying in the harem very much, and often disguises herself as a man and sneaks out of the palace to have fun.

Regarding this point, her father, the emperor, and her mother also criticized her in the letter. They felt that she was the queen of a country, so it was really unscrupulous for her to act like this.

I heard that the woman had only one child in her family. If she had not married her brother, she would have inherited the family business.

At the end of the letter, his father and mother said that they would go to Xia Kingdom to visit her in the near future.

She immediately beamed with joy, put down the letter, and asked, "Where is Rong Shen?"

The little eunuch said hurriedly, "The emperor is taking care of the little princess in the side hall."

"I see."

After Xie Chunchao finished speaking, he got up and went to the side hall to find Rong Shen to share the good news.

"Rong Shen." She called Rong Shen's name outside the hall before she even entered.

"I'm here." Rong Shen walked out of the side hall holding the fair and tender Zexia and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Chunchao smiled and said, "My parents are coming to Xia Kingdom to visit me."

When Rong Shen heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "They are coming to the Xia Kingdom? What about the Chu Kingdom?"

Xie Chunchao said, "My father has abdicated, and now the emperor of Chu is my brother."

After she finished speaking, she smiled and shared the good news with Rong Shen, "By the way, my brother is also getting married."

Rong Shen quirked his eyebrows and said, "This is a good thing. My brother didn't even tell us about such a big happy event, and our gifts haven't been given yet."

Xie Chunchao only said, "The mountains between Chu and Xia are far apart, so I'm afraid the letter hasn't arrived yet."

As soon as Xie Chunchao finished speaking, a young eunuch walked over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, here is a letter from the Kingdom of Chu."

Xie Chunchao's eyes lit up and she immediately took it. She whispered, "It can't be a letter from my brother."

Rong Shen: "Take it apart and take a look."

It was indeed her brother's name on the letter. She opened it and looked inside to tell her the happy news that he was getting married.

The remaining words are a description of this girl, and his love for this girl can be seen from the lines in his words.

Xie Chunchao couldn't help but smile. His brother who used to say he couldn't choose someone finally met the one he liked.

At the end of the letter, he complained about his father throwing the burden to him early.

He said that he and his wife both love freedom by nature, and they spent their days in this huge palace like years.

Rong Shen saw Xie Chunchao's smile and asked, "What was written in the letter that made you smile so heartily?"

Xie Chunchao handed the letter to Rong Shen and said, "You will know after you read it."

"I'm really curious about what kind of person my sister-in-law is, and I really want to meet her."

Rong Shen took the letter, read it from beginning to end, then returned it to Xie Chunchao with a smile, and said, "From what the letter says, she should be an interesting girl."

"By the way, when will your parents come to Xia Country?"
