Chapter 26

After waiting in the main hall for about two hours, the maid in red came to invite them over.

As soon as they entered the Golden Luan Hall, they were stared at from all directions.If you change to someone with poor psychological endurance, you might faint immediately.

Nan Wan stood at the front, neither humble nor overbearing, allowing them to look at her.

"En." Seeing her behavior like this, the queen nodded in satisfaction.

She winked at the red-clothed palace lady who was standing aside, and the red-clothed palace lady understood, and immediately announced the chosen ranking.

"No. [-] scholar, Nanwan."

"No. [-], Li Qian."

"Tanhua, Xu Wen."

The three walked out one after another, thanking the queen.

The No. [-] and No. [-] picks are okay, they are both young and well-groomed.

Only Tanhua is a little older and looks a little haggard.

The queen paused, and wanted to switch Tanhualang's position with someone else, and she fell in love with Nanwan.

"Your Majesty, Nan Wan has already won the title of two yuan, why not let her get the title of three yuan?" The official in Tsing Yi said with a smile.

Although Tanhualang's reputation is good, it is not as powerful as Xiao Sanyuan's.

"Extremely." The queen nodded, giving up her previous thoughts.

Tanhualang also breathed a sigh of relief, she almost thought she would be replaced.

With the ranking announced, the next step is to praise the officials.

Kuaguan is what people often say parade through the streets. It means that after the new champion palace examination is hand-picked, officials from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rituals will hold the imperial decree and beat the gong to clear the way. Walking through the street, accepting the congratulations of the people.

In March in Yangchun, the haze is charming.

Nan Wan rode his horse through the street, cheering all the way.

"The number one scholar is really handsome, I wonder if she has married her husband?"

"I'm married, the young master of the Ming family."

"Ah." As soon as these words came out, many young men were heartbroken.

"No. [-] is not married to my husband, so I have to hurry to the door to propose marriage."

"Just like you, okay?"

"I can't? You can?"

"Plop." Just as people were arguing endlessly, a peony in full bloom fell on Nan Wan's head.

Nan Wan raised her hand and brushed it off, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly.

"Lang Jun kill me." A man said in a daze.

As soon as these words came out, the flowers in everyone's hands were thrown at Nan Wan.

After learning about the purpose of the flowers from the second place at the side, Nan Wan shivered and didn't dare to pick them up again.

"Why doesn't Zhuangyuan Lang receive flowers?" Seeing that Tanhua at the side had a bouquet of flowers in his hands, but when Nan Wan's hands were empty, everyone became anxious.

"I guess the number one scholar just wants to pick up flowers from his husband." A man said sourly.

Such a good man, was snatched away by the Ming family?

Nan Wan glanced at the windows on both sides, but couldn't find the person he missed.

Probably won't come, Nan Wan said with some disappointment in her heart.

"Wife master." A familiar voice came from a high place.

Nan Wan looked up and found that the person he had been missing was standing on the second floor of the inn.

"Wife master." The man called her, and threw down a peach blossom that was in full bloom.

I give you the spring scenery of March, and you give me peach blossoms.

Nan Wan caught the peach blossom and smiled at the man.

Ming Yang, I will accompany you from now on.

"What did Zhuang Yuanlang just say?"

"It seems to be saying that I like you."

"Oh! That son of the Ming family is really enviable."

Nan Wan pinned the peach blossoms on her temples, and rode away on horseback.

I couldn't go back immediately after the parade, and had to attend the Xinglin Banquet in the evening.

The Xinglin Banquet will be held in the Qujiang Garden in the southeast of the imperial city, and all the dignitaries will come here.

"Nan Zhuangyuan is really a dragon and a phoenix among people. I can recognize you from three miles away."

"Nan Zhuangyuan, you must come and have a few drinks when you have time."

Every sentence was full of boasting, if Nan Wan hadn't been determined, she might have been fooled by these few words into thinking that she was great.

After Nan Wan finished dealing with the dignitaries who wanted to make friends with her, another group of people came.

"Nan Wan, you are really a role model for my generation. From now on, I will work hard to pass the Jinshi examination and become a person like you." One person held Nan Wan's hand and cried.

Nan Wan patted her palm and said a few words of comfort before sending her away.

"How is it! Are you tired?" Xie Zhen said with a smile.

She came with her mother today, and she was very happy to see Nan Wan.

"It's okay." Nan Wan said with a wry smile, "It's just that there are too many people."

Xie Zhen gave her a sympathetic look and said, "This is the beginning."

Nan Wan didn't understand Xie Zhen's meaning at first, but she didn't understand until she saw Her Majesty brought a group of people over.

Seeing Nan Wanchu standing there in a daze, the Empress asked with concern: "Is the number one scholar unwell?"

Nan Wan quickly shook his head, saying no.

After drinking for three rounds, it soon ushered in the highlight of the night-writing poetry.

The queen said with a smile: "I think the apricot blossoms are blooming very well today, so let's use apricot blossoms as the theme for this competition! There is no limit to the rhyme."

As soon as the order was given, someone immediately prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones for the Jinshi present.

"Limited to one stick of incense." The Queen smiled.

If there is no time limit, it will be too time-consuming.

"It's time." The maid in red said loudly.

Hearing this, everyone stopped writing.

"Come from the nearest person!" The queen looked at the Jinshi closest to her.

Being watched by so many eyes, the Jinshi's face turned red in an instant, and he stammered to finish his poem.

"The spiritual energy is not enough, and still needs to be refined." The queen nodded and looked at the next Jinshi.

"The number one scholar." Soon it was Nan Wan's turn, and the queen asked with a smile, "What poem did you write?"

Nan Wan didn't panic, and calmly read the poem he wrote just now.

The spring is full of wildness, and the branches are full of emerald greens.Dimly reflected in the village dock, rotten to open the mountain city.It's easy to treat guests, and the golden plate is set off with red jade.

The queen savored it carefully, and praised: "It's no wonder that you are the number one scholar, this poem should be the best in the field."

After finishing speaking, she ordered the maid in red to hang up the poem.

The Jinshi on the side looked at Nan Wan enviously, such an honor was beyond their reach.

The Queen intended to treat her kindly, so Nan Wan naturally did not dare to neglect her, and thanked her immediately.

The Xinglin Banquet was a good opportunity to show their faces. In order to attract the Queen's attention, other Jinshi tried their best to show their best side.

In this way, the queen was happy, and their goals were all achieved.

After the Xinglin Banquet, Nan Wan was too drunk to find Nan Bei.

When Ming Yang rushed over, what he saw was his wife-in-law sleeping peacefully on the table.

Everyone around had left, but Nan Wan was still waiting for him to pick her up and go home.

Thinking of this, a warm current surged in Ming Yang's heart.

"Wife master." Ming Yang gently pushed her, "Let's go home."

"Okay." Hearing the familiar voice, Nan Wan nodded in a daze.
