Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

This made the merchants who were still waiting and trying to cheat give up their ideas.

Those businesses that were sanctioned are full of regret.

Because of the huge noise, not only did their reputation become ruined, but they also lost a large number of customers.

During the imperial examination period, almost all candidates had somewhere to go, and not only that, they even had better food.

His body, which had been emaciated due to the long journey, recovered during this period of time. Not only that, he also became much stronger due to the work.

Lin Shu also urged Qin You to take her out to observe for some time.

Lin Shu looked at the bustling streets and felt very satisfied. She never expected that her and her father's ideas could make Kyoto more prosperous.

Lin Shu looked at the satisfied smiles of the people on the street and his thoughts changed a little.

Perhaps, she should actively participate in national construction. Isn't the purpose of her coming here to make Dayan a better place?

She has been enjoying everyone's favor, always avoiding taking the initiative, not wanting to take on her responsibilities, and only thinking about playing.

But when she actually got involved, she felt the difference.

That sense of satisfaction and pride made her heart swell with honor.

A dozen days later, the imperial examination officially began.

The hustle and bustle of the capital seemed to have been paused.

It was extremely quiet for a while, especially around the examination hall, where only the chirping of birds could be heard. Those waiting outside the Imperial Examination Hall didn't even dare to breathe.

Although they knew that they would not be able to see anyone during these three days and that they could not do anything waiting outside, they still felt that as long as they stood here, they would feel comforted.

They hope that their children can get good grades and bring honor to the family.

Become the first top scholar in a poor family and become the pride of the poor family.

Three days later, the imperial examination was about to end. Lin Shu specially asked for leave from the emperor and Qin You, wanting to see what the scene would be like when the first imperial examination in Dayan ended.

Unexpectedly, the emperor and Qin You also followed out.

The three men were dressed in casual clothes and looked like the masters of a wealthy family, who had come with their children to wait for their relatives to finish the imperial examination.

There is no sense of violation at all.

Lin Shu looked out from the emperor's arms, his eyes full of curiosity.

The emperor and Qin You looked helpless.

As the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened, the students had different expressions. Some of them were so excited that they pulled the people around them to talk and discuss the answers.

Some were dejected.

Lin Shu did not look at these things, but rather their mental state.

"Dad, look at them. They are in very good spirits."

"I thought they would be depressed."

As soon as Lin Shu finished speaking, he heard the students passing by say, "I thought I was going to suffer for the next three days in there."

“I didn’t expect the food and accommodation there to be so good.”

"The meal fee is so small that I am reluctant to end it."

Another student next to him said, "Yes, I can't eat that well at home. Not only are there vegetables, but there are also meat and eggs."

“There was even tea provided.”

"Have you ever seen anyone faint because they were too nervous during an exam?"

"Haha, he was carried away immediately."

"But that guy came back really quickly. Hey, isn't that the one who fainted? Let's go ask him what happened when he was carried away?"

The two busybodies quickly crowded around the candidate who fainted during the exam.

"Brother, I want to ask, where were you taken after you fainted?"

"We have no ill intentions, we are just a little curious."

The fainted candidate replied: "Hey, I was just carried to the imperial physician. It's quite embarrassing to talk about it, if they hadn't woken me up with an injection and comforted me with a few words."

"I'm afraid I've come here for nothing this year, but your Majesty is so kind to us."

“We’ve thought of everything.”

His words were echoed by the other candidates.

"Yes, if it weren't for Your Majesty, we wouldn't be here this year. We might have lived our whole lives in this small town, doing nothing."

"Even if we didn't pass the exam this time, it's good to be able to see the world."

"It is said that reading thousands of books is as good as traveling thousands of miles. After coming to the capital, we can understand the policies and lifestyle of the capital."

"Maybe we can all offer suggestions for the future development of our hometown."

Those people walked farther and farther away, and soon disappeared from Lin Shu's sight.

Lin Shu patted his father and said, "Hey, Dad, did you see that? They are all praising you."

"Hehe, maybe in a few thousand years the history books will praise you to the highest heavens and on earth."

The emperor patted Lin Shu's back gently and said, "This is all thanks to our Fu Bao."

"If it weren't for Fubao's valuable advice, this imperial examination wouldn't have been so successful. Even if the history book is to be written, your name will be included in it."

Qin You just listened to the two of them bragging about business to each other and felt a little uncomfortable watching it.

On that day, Lin Shu read many interesting stories about the imperial examination in the newspaper, such as how some people hid cheat sheets in various ways, but they were all discovered.

Some people even write notes on small pieces of paper and stuff them into certain excretion areas.

It really brought a lot of happiness to the people of the capital.

On the day when the results were announced, the capital was even more lively. Many officials, who had learned everything on their own, went to the list to find a son-in-law.

These high school students need support and are easy to handle. This way, I can take better care of my daughter and feel at ease.

When the emperor heard the news, he was very angry. He supported the children from poor families and didn't want them to take sides, but these people actually dared to form cliques under the list.

Lin Shu found it funny, "Dad, I don't think you need to worry too much!"

"Have you forgotten the traditions of our college?"

"Entry into school is a patriotic education, and the disadvantages of aristocratic families are all mentioned in books."

"Now academies in other places are also using our academy's textbooks."

“I’m sure they will learn these things.”

The emperor snorted twice before saying, "I hope so."

But he was still a little worried, so he called the secret guard.

"Go check for me which students have agreed."

After the secret guards left, the emperor said to Lin Shu: "If I find out that they agree, don't even think about being promoted."

Lin Shu spread out his hands and shook his head helplessly, "Daddy, don't worry about it."

"Come on, let's finish reviewing these memorials first. I don't want to work overtime tonight."

The emperor relaxed his brows.

"You are quite active today. You know how to take the initiative to help Daddy."

The emperor then tapped Lin Shu's head and said, "How dare you say you worked overtime yesterday?"

"It's because you've been asking to go out of the palace to watch the fun these past few days."

"Otherwise, how could it be possible that we, father and daughter, worked so hard together and it took so long to finish."

Lin Shu smiled awkwardly, "Dad, why do you think this memorial is so strange?"

Lin Shu originally wanted to simply change the subject, so he picked up a memorial and handed it to the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor smiled happily after seeing it.
