The emperor smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. You came at the right time. Someone will come and give the Prime Minister a seat."

Xie Suzhi was dusty and dusty, and his clothes were still stained by autumn dew. It was obvious that he didn't even have time to go home and change clothes.

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

Then, 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 daddy.

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

 Shen Ningning suddenly came to her senses.

  No, her father doesn’t know her identity yet. She can’t act rude and make her father think she is an unruly child.

Thinking of this, the little guy sat upright and behaved appropriately.

 The pink little face was serious.

 She took the eunuch's gift list, 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 next to her by the eunuchs like flowing water.

 The little guy thanked everyone in a polite manner.

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 recorded in the genealogy of our Cangyun Kingdom. Thousands of years later, the world will still see your name on our bamboo slips and books."

"Now the emperor's uncle needs you to take three sticks of incense, one to the ancestors of Cangyun Kingdom, one to heaven and earth, and the other to the Rain Goddess."

Shen Ningning nodded obediently: "Okay."

The Imperial Master came forward with Qin Tianjian and several eminent monks from the Imperial Temple, and the eminent monks held the tablet of the founding emperor of Cangyun Kingdom.

 Normally, the tablets are enshrined at the highest point of the pagoda in the national temple and receive incense. Now that the princess was enthroned, the emperor Taizu was invited down.

Everyone was amazed, and they whispered in low voices—

“Your Majesty is really fond of the whole family and loves His Highness the Crown Prince. Even Princess Funing is so fond of you.”

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

Shen Ningning held a stick of incense, kowtowed to the Emperor Taizu, and then paid tribute.

Then, under the guidance of the Imperial Master, she kowtowed to the sky and the earth. Her small body knelt down and stood up repeatedly. There was a little dust on her white forehead, but she was not impatient at all.

At the last step, when it was time to offer incense to the Rain Goddess, Shen Ningning had already kowtowed and was about to insert the incense into the altar.

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

 The little guy quickly retracted his hand.

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

 All the guests present are looking forward to it.

Mo Lingwei held Shen Ningning's little hand and saw a red spot on her fingertips burned by the falling incense ash.

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

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

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

Mo Lingwei confirmed that Shen Ningning was okay, then took her little hand and returned to her seat.

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

The emperor smiled: "Don't I want everyone to see Ning Ning being awarded the title? I also want 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 said with a sweet smile.

She glanced at Prime Minister Xie Suzhi secretly from the corner of her eye, and saw that he was sipping tea with his head down, seemingly not paying attention to her at all.

 The little guy puffed up his cheeks and reassured himself that it was okay.

Daddy doesn’t know she is his daughter yet!

After all the things were evacuated, the emperor said again: "On this auspicious day, I would like to announce another happy event. I heard that the results of the examination of the National Academy of Chinese Studies have come out."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Yuanjiu, who had always felt a little bored, immediately raised his head. Emperor: "Master of the Ministry of Rites, please read out the list of the top three candidates who have successfully passed the National Academy of Chinese Studies in front of everyone."

"Yes." The Minister of Rites was already prepared. He walked up and down in front of everyone and took out the roll of orders from his sleeve.

 All the young men and ladies present who went to take the exam could not help but **** up their ears and look forward to it.

Entering a Chinese university is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Sometimes even the powerful and powerful cannot get in. Who will be the three people who get admitted this time?

 The ladies around Xie Yuanjiu are already complimenting her—

 “There must be a fourth sister Xie.”

 “Maybe he will still be ranked first in Class A.”

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

As soon as she finished speaking, the Minister of Rites said: "The first place in the Grade A examination: Shen Ningning."

 The whole audience was surprised.

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

Very good!

 She passed the exam and gave an explanation to the crazy scholar.

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

"Princess Funing? All good things have happened to her!"

 “This little girl is so smart when I see her, she’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 said nothing and just drank cup after cup of tea.

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

“It doesn’t matter, thanks to the fourth sister, there is no shame in second or third place.”

 Xie Yuanjiu’s face even lost the smile.

The Minister of Rites announced the remaining two: "The second place in the second class is Xu Jingxi; the third place in the third class is Lu Shaoyuan."

Lu Shaoyuan jumped up in surprise: "Okay! That's great, it's not in vain that I read with the lamp in hand every day and wrote six pens to waste!"

He worked hard and finally was able to go to school with Shen Ningning again!

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

Xu Jingxi, who is second in the second class, comes from a poor family, so he was not invited to the 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. The ladies who had complimented her just now lowered their heads and said nothing, which was extremely embarrassing.

It’s too early to praise, who would have thought that Xie Yuanjiu, who usually seems to be extremely 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: "Principal Funing did really well in the exam. Let's go to congratulate him later."

The ladies smiled and agreed: "Okay, that's for sure."

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

 She relied on her own efforts to get the first place in the National Academy of Chinese Studies, and she is also a princess!

In this way, when she recognizes her father later, she can openly tell him that although she has lived alone these years, she has not embarrassed him.

Mo Lingwei saw that it was almost time and was about to ask the emperor to help Shen Ningning recognize her relatives.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Xie Suzhi was one step ahead of him, stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty, since everyone is here today, I also want 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 towards Xie Suzhi.

 Everyone only heard Xie Su say: "I have found the whereabouts of my biological daughter."

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

 Prime Minister Xie’s daughter was lost for so many years and was found? Who could it be? How lucky!

Xie Mingxu looked at Shen Ningning calmly, but saw the little guy looking at Prime Minister Xie hopefully.

The emperor became happy: "Seriously? Where is she now?"
