Chapter 190: First Class, First Rank

The emperor smiled and said: "It's okay, you came at the right time, come and give the prime minister a seat." ”

Xie Suzhi was dusty, and his clothes still had traces of autumn dew wet, obviously he didn't even have time to go back home to change his clothes.

He sat down at the table where the ministers were in power, together with Taifu, General Chen and others.

Then, Xie Suzhi's eyes looked at Shen Ningning, and the little guy was even more excited, and he almost couldn't sit still, and wanted to jump down and call Daddy.

However, Xie Suzhi just nodded at her slightly, smiled indifferently, and then withdrew his gaze.

Shen Ningning suddenly came back to his senses.

No, now Daddy doesn't know her identity, she can't show rudeness, so that Daddy thinks she's a child without rules.

Thinking of this, the little guy was sitting on his lap and had proper manners.

On the little face of the pink, he is serious.

She took the eunuch's gift list, bowed her head slightly, and thanked the emperor and the crown prince.

Immediately afterwards, the congratulatory gifts from the guests were sent to the long table beside her by the eunuchs like flowing water.

The little guy thanked everyone in a proper manner.

During this period, Concubine Rong always looked at her with a gentle smile.

The emperor said: "Ning Ning, from now on, you will be the county lord in our Cangyun Kingdom, and after a thousand years, the world will still see your name from our bamboo slips and books." ”

"Now the emperor's uncle needs you to receive three incense sticks, one to the ancestors of Cangyun Kingdom, one to heaven and earth, and the other to the rain god Niangniang."

Shen Ningning nodded obediently: "Okay." ”

The national teacher took Qin Tianjian and several senior monks of the national temple to step forward, and the senior monks held the tablet of Taizu, the founding emperor of Cangyun State.

On weekdays, the tablets are enshrined in the highest place of the pagoda in the national temple, full of incense, and now the canonization of the county lord, the emperor Taizu was invited down.

Everyone was amazed, and they whispered in a low voiceβ€”

"The emperor really loves the house and Wu, and he loves His Royal Highness the Prince, even the lord of Funing is so favored."

"Who's to say it isn't? In my opinion, it will not be difficult for the lord of Funing to canonize the princess in the near future. ”

Shen Ningning held a stick of incense, kowtowed to the Emperor Taizu, and then saluted.

Then, under the guidance of the national teacher, she kowtowed to heaven and earth, her small body kept kneeling down and getting up, and her white forehead was stained with a little dust, but she was not impatient at all.

By the last step, when he wanted to offer incense to the rain god Niangniang, Shen Ningning had already finished kowtowing and wanted to insert the incense into the altar.

Her little hand was put in, and suddenly, she let out a painful cry: "Hiss! ”

The little one hurriedly withdrew his hand.

Mo Lingwei suddenly stood up and walked towards her: "What's wrong?" ”

All the guests present were eagerly awaited.

Mo Lingwei held Shen Ningning's little hand, only to see that a red dot was burned on her fingertips by the falling incense ash.

Shen Ningning blew twice, endured the pain and squeezed out a smile: "Brother, I'm fine, I was too careless just now." ”

The emperor hurriedly asked, "Do you need to pass on the imperial doctor to prescribe some plaster?" ”

Shen Ningning shook his head: "It doesn't matter to me, Uncle Emperor." ”

Mo Lingwei confirmed that Shen Ningning was fine, and then took her little hand back to her position.

In this way, he did not forget to complain to the emperor in a cold voice: "Why does my father have to worship God here with three incense sticks? In the past, it was just done once in the temple. ”

The emperor smiled: "Didn't I want everyone to see Ning Ning being enthroned?" I also want to express my love for her. ”

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips, looked at Shen Ningning and asked, "Does it still hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt, brother!" The little one smiled sweetly.

She secretly looked at Prime Minister Xie Suzhi again, and saw that he was drinking tea with his head down, and he didn't seem to pay attention to her at all.

The little guy puffed out his cheeks and comforted himself in his heart that it didn't matter.

Daddy didn't know she was his daughter!

After all the things were withdrawn, the emperor said: "On this auspicious day of the zodiac, I announce another happy event, I heard that the results of the examination of the national academy have come out. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yuanjiu, who had always felt a little bored, immediately raised his head.

Emperor: "The Book of Rites, read out the list of the top three who have successfully taken the examination in the Chinese Academy of Learning, in front of everyone." ”

"Yes." The Book of Rites had already been prepared, and he walked up to everyone and pulled out the roll of the list from his sleeve.

All the sons and ladies present who went to take the exam couldn't help but prick up their ears and look forward to it.

It is difficult to enter a national university, and sometimes the powerful can't get in, who will be the three people who are admitted this time?

Xie Yuanjiu's lady is already complimenting her-

"There must be Fourth Sister Xie."

"Maybe it's still the first place in the first class."

Xie Yuanjiu smiled lightly, dignified and generous: "Okay, even if it's true, don't advocate for me, I still like to be low-key." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "First place in the examination: Shen Ningning." ”

The audience was amazed.

Shen Ningning reacted, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

That's great!

She was admitted and gave an explanation to the crazy scholar.

Mo Lingwei took the lead in applauding, Lu Shaoyuan and Xie Mingxu followed and clapped, and the scene suddenly boiled.

"Lord Funing? Anything good happened to her! ”

"As soon as I look at this little girl, I'm smart, it's amazing!" The old lady sitting next to Xie Suzhi said with a smile.

General Chen bowed his head: "I can come up with the idea of bringing wolves to help the homeless, I am not an ordinary child, I am indeed smart." ”

Xie Suzhi was silent, and only drank tea cup after cup.

At this time, the lady next to Xie Yuanjiu hurriedly comforted: "Her first place may be fake, just look at how much the emperor favors her." ”

"It's okay, Fourth Sister Xie, the second and third places are not ashamed."

Xie Yuanjiu didn't even have a smile on his face.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu read out the remaining two: "Second place in the second class, Xu Jingxi; third place in the third class, Lu Shaoyuan. ”

Lu Shaoyuan jumped up in surprise: "Okay! It's great, it's not in vain that the young master reads day and night, and writes six lake pens! ”

He worked hard, and finally was able to go to school with Shen Ningning again!

Commander Lu pressed him down and said with a light smile: "Okay, don't get too carried away." ”

Xu Jingxi, who ranked second in the second class, was born in a poor family, so he was not invited to the canonization ceremony, but the good news will soon be delivered to his home.

Everyone greeted each other and said auspicious words.

Only Xie Yuanjiu's side was lifeless, and the ladies who complimented her all lowered their heads and didn't speak at this time, which was extremely embarrassing.

It's too early, who would have thought that Xie Yuanjiu usually looks very talented, but he didn't even get into the top three of the Chinese Academy.

After a while, Xie Yuanjiu took the initiative to smile and break everyone's silence: "Funing County's main exam is really good, let's go to congratulate you in a while." ”

The ladies smiled dryly and agreed: "Okay, that's certain." ”

Shen Ningning was very excited at this moment, and her little pink face was filled with joy.

Relying on her own efforts, she won the first place in the national academy and is also the county lord!

In this way, when she recognizes her father, she can also tell him generously that although she has lived alone all these years, she has not disgraced him.

Mo Ling saw that it was almost time, and he was about to ask the emperor to help Shen Ningning recognize his relatives.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Xie Suzhi was one step ahead of him, stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, since everyone is here today, the minister also wants to ask you to give me a favor." ”

The emperor immediately came to be interested: "Oh? Tell me, what's the good thing? ”

Concubine Rong looked at Xie Suzhi.

Everyone only heard Xie Su's words: "The minister has found the whereabouts of his biological daughter." ”

It's like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pot, and everyone is shocked.

Prime Minister Xie Cheng's daughter has been lost for so many years and has she found it? Who will it be? What a blessing!

Xie Mingxu looked at Shen Ningning quietly, but saw that the little guy was also looking at Prime Minister Xie Cheng with hopeful eyes.

The emperor was happy: "Really? Where is she now? ”
