The emperor must not entertain such thoughts. All of the above are playful words made by the minister to seek approval for exams. Lan Su: ??? (looking confused) After an engaging beginning, it abruptly shifted to a new paragraph, ending with this sentence. Lan Su, who just read it, was puzzled. Did you write something inspiring and lengthy only to follow it with this? Are you telling me it’s all boasting for the sake of scoring points? The second, however, I’d like to discuss with Your Majesty.…-

Three questions, count: Question: Pheasants and rabbits are in the same cage, with thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four feet on the bottom. How many are the pheasants and rabbits? Minister solution: Suppose chickens are numbered as A and rabbits are numbered as B. Then the addition of A and B is thirty-five, and the addition of two A and four B is ninety-four. A can wait for thirty-five minus B, then multiply by two (thirty-five minus B) plus four B to get ninety-four. Then seventy-plus two…

In the first segment, Lan Su ignored the rigid assessment of basic knowledge in the “Four Books and Five Classics” and swiftly transitioned to the next section. For the second set of questions on poetry, participants were tasked with crafting a poem on the theme of a general’s conquest on the battlefield. Here’s Bai Yu’s response: Minister’s Reply: In a drunken haze, by the lamp, swords are examined, dreams echo, and horns blow in a continuous camp. Eight hundred miles unfold under the…

“Yeah~.” Bai Yu smiled upon hearing this, refraining from commenting on Sister Dragon’s obedience. He didn’t boast about not needing help, just graciously accepted and said, “Thank you, Long Zhi, for your concern~.” “Exams take a long time! You’re here so early~. What if I don’t come out early?” Bai Yu asked gently. “It’s okay, I can wait,” replied Long Zhi. “Is that so…” Bai Yu mused, wondering how a demon could be so cute. “Young master, did Long Zhi get into…

“ “I’ll see who dares!” However, Bai Yu hadn’t waited for her to speak. The desolate beauty suddenly frowned, snorted softly, and drank a soft drink. This was the first time she showed such an emotional change since this beauty came here. Yang Shancheng was shocked for a moment, but before he could react, the next moment, “ A terrifying pressure swept over as if facing some prehistoric beast-like oppression as if it could crush his spirit to pieces. He felt a thousand pounds of force smash…

“I’m waiting for my son!” The cold and indifferent female voice softened when mentioning the son. “There is only one thing I ask of you: please don’t stand beside me.” If this annoying person didn’t leave, she couldn’t help but consider using surgery! “Young master?!” However, upon hearing her words, Yang Shancheng ignored the second half of her sentence and froze. His eyes widened in disbelief at the beauty, wondering why she wasn’t taken as a wife but treated as a…

“Um?” On the top floor of the study palace, a noble young man in black emerged from the door, glancing downstairs as if sensing something. He couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly, “Bai Yu?” With exceptional eyesight, he could see clearly. A young scholar leisurely walked out of the examination room in the distance. Since the courtyard in front of the building was empty, he stood out alone, particularly conspicuous. The person was memorable. Once you spoke to him, you wouldn’t forget.…

“My Lord, I’ve completed the answers!” Bai Yu said to the invigilator. The fading sunlight cast a warm glow through the pavilion gate into the examination room. The exam room was hushed. Everyone sat upright, deeply contemplating, cautiously wielding their pens to answer questions. However, at that moment, a sudden voice echoed, startling everyone. They dared not lift their heads, just listening intently with a look of horror on their faces. A clear male voice broke the silence, distinctly audible…

“The examination room is strict. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?” Bai Yu’s words made Yaoyun tremble, staring at him in disbelief. Bai Yu’s words had a double meaning. Was she found with a private pen, or was she personally discovered? “I have my way,” Yaoyun replied hesitantly after a pause. Bai Yu nodded, “Oh, that’s good.” Candidates were bustling around, entering the examination room. “Master, are you here to accept me?” The girl asked, no longer pretending. Bai Yu…
