Lu Yuning thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Your Majesty, will the results of the test come out?" Mo'er did well in the exam? ”

"Aifei is smart." Luo Chengjing praised and said, "Simo took the eighth place in the exam this time. ”

After a pause, Luo Chengjing continued: "I have read all the top ten papers, judging from the answer sheets, the knowledge gap between the top ten students this time is not large, even if I am not favoritism, it is very likely that Simo's own ability will be among the top in the palace examination, Concubine Ai really doesn't want Simo to be the champion or Tanhua?" ”

There is no doubt that the champion is the most knowledgeable person, but Tanhua is more about looks, with Lu Simo's age and appearance, no one will say anything if he points Lu Simo as Tanhua, and Lu Simo is really talented.

Lu Yuning shook his head and said seriously: "Although Mo'er can study, he is young after all, and the concubine thinks that it is better not to let him be too proud, lest he be young and frivolous, and do something that does not know the importance of it in the future." ”

Luo Chengjing thought about it, Lu Simo is the uncle of the Six Princes, if he does something foolish in the future on the official road, it will inevitably affect the Six Princes and Lu Yuning.

So, Luo Chengjing nodded and said, "It's okay, then press his temperament first." ”

After the examiner was reminded by his wife, when he was marking the paper after the palace examination, he still thought about whether to mention Lu Simo's ranking on the premise if Lu Simo's answer was not satisfactory this time, but he didn't expect Lu Simo to be angry by himself, and the examiner who scored the paper unanimously agreed that his paper this time was qualified to enter the first class.

Isn't that a joy for all?

The examiner will send the top ten examination papers selected by them to the Emperor.

What the examiner didn't expect in the end was that the emperor actually changed his ranking, and Lu Simo, who could have been in the first class, was beaten into the second class by the emperor.

Although it is still the first place in the second class, it is still much worse than the first class.

"Just fill in the list according to this and announce the results."

Luo Chengjing did not change anything except for Lu Simo's ranking and fourth place.

The examiner couldn't guess Luo Chengjing's thoughts, so he announced the results according to Luo Chengjing's adjusted ranking.

Lu Simo knew that he was the fourth, and after checking one step away from Tanhua, he couldn't be more depressed.

But the Marquis of Zhongyong, who knew the result, called Lu Simo over, looked at Lu Simo who was a little sullen, and said, "Don't you think it's a pity?" ”

Lu Simo nodded, "Uncle, I just think that if I work harder on weekdays, maybe I will be able to get the Tanhua this time, although the top name of the second class is also very good, but it is not as good as the scenery of the champion Tanhua, if I can be in the Tanhua, my sister is also beautiful in the palace." ”

Marquis Zhongyong looked at the young nephew in front of him, shook his head, and said, "I think your second-class leader is better than any champion or Tanhua and the like." ”

Lu Simo was puzzled, "Uncle, why do you say that." ”

Marquis Zhongyong smiled and said: "If you are just an ordinary person, you will naturally be in the top three to be more beautiful, but you are not, you are the son of Marquis Zhongyong's mansion, and there is a favorite concubine who is a sister in the palace." ”

"If the emperor appoints you as a tanhua, then everyone will not say how good you are at reading and how good your knowledge is, but will only think that the emperor ordered you to be a tanhua because of the face of the lady concubine or the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion, which is not conducive to your entry into officialdom in the future."

"But like now, others will only be like you, and feel sorry for you. Or wonder if the emperor deliberately didn't point you into the top three in order to temper you. ”

After listening to the words of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Lu Simo's depression disappeared completely.

And in the next contact with a group of students who made the list, everyone's attitude towards him was as expected.

And when Tao entered the palace and came out, he learned from Tao that the reason why he was not in the first class this time was because his sister specially asked for it with the emperor, and he didn't even complain at all.

Tao looked at Lu Simo and said, "Don't blame your sister." ”

Lu Simo smiled and hugged Tao's shoulder, "Mother, what do you think of your son as, I know that my sister is for my good, how can I complain about my sister?" ”

"If you know, it's good." Tao sighed and said: "You knew that your sister entered the palace at the beginning, and you had no choice but to do so, although the emperor is very good to your sister now, but where is the harem good, not to mention the danger everywhere, but there can't be a time to relax." ”

"Now that you have a result of studying, you are about to get married, and you will be an adult in the future, remember not to be arrogant when you do things and talk on weekdays, don't make trouble for your sister, you know?"

Lu Simo's marriage is scheduled for June, and it will only be two months away.

Lu Simo nodded, "Mother, don't worry, not only will I not cause trouble for my sister, but I will also work hard to become the support of my sister and my little niece and little nephew in the palace in the future." ”

Tao still knows Lu Simo's temperament well, and he said these words just to remind him.

Seeing that Lu Simo listened to it, he didn't talk about it, but talked to Lu Simo about the four princesses and the six princes in the palace.

Lu Simo has never seen his niece and nephew so far.

In the palace, Lu Yuning has been confinement for more than a month, and finally out of confinement, she took a beautiful bath under the service of Qingzhi and Qingdai, and then when she stepped out of the bathtub, she looked at the soft flesh on her waist and fell into silence.

After giving birth to the fourth princess last time, when it was time to get out of confinement, her belly had almost recovered, and this time it was ...... This time it should have been too good to eat.

So from the second day, Lu Yuning deliberately began to eat less, and once made the people in the small kitchen wonder if the meals they had recently cooked were not in line with the master's taste.

In addition, she moves diligently every day, and she has not let go of the set of body exercises she got from the dancing girl in the past few years.

In the past few years, Lu Yuning's figure is probably not much different from those dancing girls who have been practicing since childhood.

On this day, Lu Yuning insisted on practicing for a while more than usual, and the clothes on her body were soaked with sweat, she took the handkerchief handed by Qingzhi, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and was just about to take a shower and change clothes, Zhou Man walked in.

After seeing Lu Yuning, Zhou Man stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Master, the little one just heard the news that the new emperor of Dongchi Country has ascended the throne. ”

In fact, it has been more than a month since the new emperor of Dongchi Kingdom ascended the throne, but after all, the country of Dongchi Kingdom is relatively far away from Dayong, and the news has not reached their ears.

Lu Yuning glanced at Zhou Man and said with a smile: "Looking at your expression, it shouldn't be their three princes who finally ascended the throne?" ”
