at the same time.

The special examination has ended, and the examiners have been marking the papers. However, the chief examiner Li Da has no time to rest. He reviews the excellent papers one by one, trying to find Lin Wanwan's paper.

But for two days, he had not reviewed Lin Wanwan's examination papers, and the fifth princess Lin Meihua was pressing him hard. At this moment, he looked solemn, walked hurriedly through the noisy crowd, and went straight to the secret room where the examination papers were stored.

Along the way, his heart was pounding, and he pretended to be calm until he reached the door of the secret room.

"Sir Li!" The guarding soldier immediately saluted respectfully when he saw the examiner.

Li Da pretended to be calm, cleared his throat, and said, "The examination papers for the special examination are of great importance. I need to check them personally to prevent any omissions."

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment of hesitation, one of them said, "Sir, according to the rules, these test papers must be reviewed by three examiners at the same time tomorrow morning..."

Seeing this, Li Da's face darkened and he said sternly, "Why? As the chief examiner of this special exam, don't I even have this little power? If something goes wrong, who among you can take the responsibility?"

"Yes." The soldiers looked at each other, and were intimidated by his momentum for a moment. They dared not stop him and had to open the door of the secret room.

Li Da walked into the secret room and was greeted by the scent of stale ink and paper. He covered his mouth and nose and fanned himself in front of his face with his wide sleeves.

He squinted at this year's special examination papers beside him. Piles of examination papers were neatly placed on the desk. He looked back outside the door and saw no one was around.

He walked quickly and quietly to the test paper, flipped it open, and searched eagerly among the numerous test papers.

Finally, he saw Lin Wanwan's unique handwriting, and his eyes lit up instantly.

After seeing Lin Wanwan's answer, I was shocked for a moment!

Looking at the paper with neat handwriting and wonderful content, he couldn't help but secretly admire Lin Wanwan's talent.

But thinking of Lin Meihua's order, he gritted his teeth, quickly reached out to pull out the test paper, folded it in his hand, and hid it in his sleeve.

Li Da took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and hurriedly left the secret room.

The door of the secret room was closed again by two guards.

After Li Da came out, he held Lin Wanwan's test paper tightly in his arms with a nervous mood, and hurried towards the secret room in the backyard of Lin Meihua's mansion.

Lin Meihua sat in a gorgeous chair with great interest, her eyes showing a hint of arrogance. When she saw Li Da coming in, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she asked anxiously:

"Master Li, have you brought the things?"

Li Da hurried forward, presented the test paper respectfully, and said, "This is it."

Lin Meihua grabbed the test paper and started reading it impatiently.

At first, her expression was somewhat nonchalant, but as her eyes moved across the test paper, her expression gradually became one of surprise.

Her eyes opened wider and wider, and her cherry lips unconsciously opened slightly, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

The handwriting on the test paper was neat and beautiful, and the answers were exquisite. Both the analysis of the problems and the explanation of the insights were far beyond her imagination.

Military, diplomacy, price controls, increasing agricultural production, and even finally having His Majesty the Emperor issue a written declaration of guilt...

Lin Meihua couldn't help but admire in her heart, with a greedy light flashing in her eyes. She began to think about memorizing the answers and taking the test paper for herself.

Li Da wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Fifth Princess, Princess An Ning's answer is so beautiful!"

Lin Meihua couldn't help but whispered, "This answer sheet must not be seen by the emperor, you immediately forge a copy of her answer sheet according to her notes.

"This..." Li Da was very hesitant.

Lin Meihua raised her head, stared at Li Da sharply, and said:

"You have done a great job on this matter. This princess will never treat you unfairly. However, you must keep your mouth shut. This princess will ask my father to make Li Lingyu the fifth prince consort."

When Li Da heard this, he was overjoyed.

Li Da was born in a poor family. When he first came to Kyoto as a poor scholar, he envied the royal nobles who rode in sedan chairs and had servants to serve them.

It has always been his hope to let Li Lingyu join the royal family. As long as his son becomes a royal consort, his son's children will always be royal relatives.

To this end, Li Da can do anything.

He nodded and bowed quickly, and replied, "Princess, rest assured, I understand. I will never reveal a word to anyone."

Lin Meihua smiled with satisfaction and looked at the test paper again with a smug smile on her lips.

She thought that with this test paper, she could show off in front of His Majesty and everyone else, letting everyone know that she had a unique vision.

She is the most talented woman in Xuanyue Country.

Li Lingyu watched all this outside the door. After his father left, he took some cakes and entered the secret room.

"Princess..." Li Lingyu's voice was soft but timid.

Lin Meihua took a piece of cake and said to him, "Hmph, come here. It's been a long time since I've taken good care of you."

After hearing this, Li Lingyu turned pale and could only slowly move his body over.

……

It was a hot summer day. Lin Wanwan lay lazily in a chair, rocking. She had no clue about the letter she received from Yunwang Pavilion yesterday.

She suddenly thought of the system and opened the [System Panel]

Present...

A rectangular pink screen appeared in front of her and she studied the panel carefully.

Center of light screen:

Life countdown: 41 days, 7 hours and 20 minutes.

There are no other changes.

It seems that this system will not provide any useful information unless the beautiful man is refreshed.

At this time, Qingqing came in from outside the door: "Princess, today is the day when the results of the special examination are announced."

Lin Wanwan stood up after hearing this: "Qingqing, prepare the sedan chair."

On the day when the results of the imperial examination were announced, the streets and alleys of Kyoto were filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation.

Where the results were announced, there was a bustling crowd and a lot of noise.

Princess An Ning was wearing a light pink silk dress with a layer of gauze on the outside. She had a graceful figure and came down in a soft sedan chair to look at the list.

As soon as I got off the sedan, I saw Zhang Zhirang standing beside me. He was mixed in the crowd. He was wearing a plain long gown and looked a little haggard.

As the two guards slowly unfolded the list and posted it on the wall of the examination room, cheers broke out from the crowd from time to time.

"I passed! I made the list!"

"Me too!"

"Ah Si, come and take a look at me. How did I do in the exam? I must be in the top three." Su Ye's distinctive voice came, and soon he appeared in front of Lin Wanwan.

Ah Si hurriedly squeezed in, looked around, and walked out with his head hung: "Master... Master... You didn't pass the exam."

"What?!" Su Ye suddenly put away his folding fan, squeezed to the front, looked around, and indeed there was nothing.

Su Ye's eyes darkened: "It's over, I have to copy the ancestral teachings again."
