In order to share her father's worries, Ye Hao also stayed in the rented courtyard and arranged trivial matters such as food and drink for Ye Zeming, so that he could concentrate on preparing for the exam.

Shu Yu was not at ease, so he sent two calm and capable mothers-in-law to help.

Han Yan joked after knowing it: "Brother Ye, where is this one person participating in the scientific examination, it is simply a grand event of the 'whole country'!" ”

Han Yan said this for a reason, because in addition to the two mothers-in-law sent by Shu Yu to take care of Ye Zeming's father and daughter, Emperor Kangping also sent his henchmen to protect the safety of the future queen's father and daughter, and Xie Zhiyi, Zhuang Xian and other close ministers who knew the truth wanted to personally guide Ye Zeming's Jingyi and ask questions, trying to ensure that even if he couldn't get into the first class during the palace test, he could at least get a second class.

On the day of the palace examination, Emperor Kang Ping looked at his future father-in-law who was standing inconspicuously among the tributes, and his palms were sweating with nervousness.

This time, he specially chose the topic of border land and mutual market, which was handled by his father-in-law at the beginning, plus Xie Zhiyi's guidance these days......

My father-in-law will definitely be able to live up to expectations and come out on top, right?

Absolutely!

Emperor Kang Ping fidgeted and looked at his father-in-law who was buried in answering the questions, wanting to go down to see how he answered, but he was worried that it would arouse the suspicion of others, or bring pressure to his father-in-law, which would affect the results of the exam, so he had to endure himself.

As an insider, Xiao'an's father-in-law sighed in his heart.

The saint is nervous like this, it is comparable to those parents who send their children to the exam......

Fortunately, no matter how difficult it is, there is a time when it will end.

After the tributes thanked him and withdrew from the hall, Emperor Kang Ping immediately instructed the book readers: "You Aiqing read it quickly, choose a ranking, select talents for my Great Zhou, and benefit the community!" ”

He wanted to personally set the first name for his father-in-law, but for the sake of fairness and fairness in the scientific expedition, he would not participate this time.

Of course, what is more important is that Xie Zhiyi is the supervisor of the reading officer this time, and he is completely relieved. Besides, such a prominent ranking as the first class is not determined by him himself in the end!

No hurry, no hurry.

Xie Zhiyi, as the supervisor of the scroll reading officer this time, naturally understood why Emperor Kangping was so anxious when he saw this, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to seal the scroll for reading.

Seeing that Xie Zhiyi had been ordered to supervise the office, the others naturally responded to the order and were busy.

With the joint efforts of the monarch and the ministers, this dynasty created a crime of imperial examination - the earliest palace examination list.

On March 17, the results of the temple examination came out.

Ye Zeming once again lived up to expectations and won a good ranking in the second class.

Originally, Emperor Kang Ping wanted to make his father-in-law a first-class person, but Xie Zhiyi privately persuaded him that this was too eye-catching, and he was afraid that it would be self-defeating.

Emperor Kang Ping had no choice but to give up, but he insisted on awarding the second class to his father-in-law.

Xie Zhiyi saw that Ye Zeming's policy article barely deserved this honor, so he agreed.

When the news came out, people in the know raised their hands to increase their hunger, and shouted "Luckily" three times.

If the future Lord Guozhang's grades are not satisfactory, wouldn't the road to marriage in the saint become more and more twists and turns? The emperor's wedding, it is a major event related to the society of the country, and there is no room for failure!

After that, it was the beginning of April that the sixth, second, and third-class jinshi participated in the re-examination to prepare for the award, commonly known as "Dianhanlin".

With Emperor Kangping as a guarantor, coupled with his own talent and knowledge, Ye Zeming was naturally appointed as a Shujishi without accident this time, serving in the Hanlin Academy, and was hand-picked by Emperor Kangping on the spot to "be familiar with the affairs of the Northland" and give a lecture on the feast.

Teaching to the emperor is a supreme honor.

Ye Zeming was completely stunned when he heard the news.

That is to say, from then on, he was not only able to stay in Beijing to serve, but also became a close minister of the Son of Heaven!

It's unbelievable how smoothly he walked through the back door.

However, for Emperor Kangping, a major matter on his mind is finally over.

The next step is to get acquainted with government affairs as soon as possible and control the court.

In fact, this is not difficult, since Emperor Kangping was able to govern smoothly at the beginning, it shows that the biggest obstacle to the emperor in the court has been clear.

Moreover, this dynasty is not without a queen of ordinary origin, but it is unheard of for the emperor to only accept concubines after he is established.

Emperor Kangping's main pressure at the moment is not to establish the queen, but to stay with the queen alone for the rest of his life.

Of course, these are all things that Emperor Kangping and his confidants should worry about.

The Ye family is now swept away from the previous tension and depression, and it is a cheerful and lively scene.

In the small courtyard temporarily leased by the Ye family, Ye Hao poured tea for Shu Yu and smiled happily: "My father has already sent a letter to my mother, asking her to take her younger brothers and sisters to settle in Beijing with the Wang Ji caravan. ”

Shu Yu was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "So good!" So much better! ”

When Tan Xin comes to Beijing, they will be able to see each other often.

Ye Hao was also very happy.

In the days when she came to Beijing, although she lived a rich and comfortable life, she also missed her mother and a pair of younger siblings very much. Now, my father stays in Beijing to take up a post, and their family can finally reunite in the capital!

This is thanks to Emperor Kang Ping and others for their great help in his father's scientific expedition.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao smiled and discussed with Shu Yu: "Auntie, I am going to hold a family banquet in a few days to invite my uncle and thank my lord, etc., to express my gratitude, you see, how about it?" ”

As for Emperor Kangping, it is too eye-catching to come to the Ye family now, so let's talk about it later.

Shu Yu was surprised when he heard this, and immediately smiled and praised: "You are very thoughtful. ”

After a while, he smiled again: "However, let's forget it when I come to the house." Your mother is still in Beijing, and it will be too tiring for you to run the banquet by yourself...... In this way, it is better to set up a banquet in Zhegui Building to thank you, what do you think? ”

Ye Hao thought about it, although she had been in Beijing for a while, and she had attended several banquets with Shu Yu, but in the end, she was inexperienced, and it would be bad if she didn't express her heart and lost her manners when the time came.

"What my aunt said was that I didn't think it through. I listened to my aunt's arrangement. Ye Hao smiled briskly.

The thank-you banquet was set for April 19, which coincided with the official office being closed for ten days, and Xie Zhiyi and others were also free.

Han Yan told Ye Zeming about the temperament and hobbies of the people at the table one by one in advance, so as not to be able to entertain him at that time, and told Shu Yu to personally draw up the dishes for the banquet.

Shu Yu has a good relationship with the families of Xie Zhiyi and others, and naturally knows that everyone's tastes are taboo, so they are arranged very properly.

At the banquet, Xie Zhiyi and the others found that the wine and food were all their daily favorites, and the more difficult thing was that Ye Zeming's conversation and demeanor were even more in agreement with them, and they were all very happy, and they felt that the father-in-law that Emperor Kang Ping chose for himself was really good.

Come to think of it, the future queen must also be very good.
