”What if he can't break through?” Siyan asked.

”Naturally, there will be even better people for us to use.” Xiang Run gently stroked his wife's bulging belly, ”It's really getting bigger and bigger, Yan'er, do you have a hard time?”

”I've gradually gotten used to it, so it's not hard at all. The mama said that the last period would be a bit harder.” Siyan laughed, ”Anyway, they always scare me, I don't think so.”

”At that time, I will accompany you.” Xiang Run said, ”Don't be afraid, even if mother is not here, royal sister and aunt will come to take care of you.”

”With the Emperor here, with royal sisters and aunts here, I feel at ease. It's a pity that big brother can't come.” Siyan said, ”I really want to show him my nephew.”

”He is from a military family. If there are no major events, he cannot leave the base. When he returns to the capital next year to report, just stay for a few more days.” Xiang Run laughed, ”If it is the little prince, we will hand him over to uncle and have him ride the arrows and learn martial arts. He will become an indomitable man.”

Siyan was naturally happy, but she also understood the hidden dangers of being a relative of another person. In the future, whenever she met her brother, she had to remind him of some things, as this was also her responsibility.

However, it was better for the emperor to announce during the Dragon Boat Festival that he would not hold any concubines in the six palaces, and that there would be no princes born of concubines competing for power in the future.

Now, instead of worrying about these things, it was better to worry about when her brother would get married. There was always no one by her side to take care of her. In a flash, Siyan had already left the Chuanyu for more than a year, so how could such a beautiful girl enter his heart?

As for Ling Chaofeng going to the Li Prefecture to write a letter to Lian Yi, when the Mrs. Meng heard that Ling Ershan had taken the Province's Top Scorer seriously, he knew that he truly had talent.

He had initially thought that it would be difficult to become an Elementary Scholar, but once he became a High Scholar and became the top scorer, even if he failed the Elementary Scholar examination, he could still become an official with a bright future ahead of him.

The attitude of the Mrs. Meng was completely different from before. When he heard that her daughter wanted to visit the Xiaowan at an inn, she took the initiative to pack up a few bags for her since they were staying at an inn which was very far away. She told her to stay here for two more days and accompany Madam Ling properly.

Lian Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was still her mother after all.

As a result, everyone gathered at the tavern to celebrate with Ershan. They prepared a few pastries and shoes, and wrote a thick letter to him, and asked others to take him to the capital city.

On this day, the academy was dismissed and everyone went out. Outside were carriages, naturally most of the students were from outside the city, just like Ling Yu, living in the capital. The imperial government would reward them with silver taels and allow them to stay in the capital for a year.

However, walking on the streets of the city and living among the commoners, what they would encounter would be a test that all of them would have to go through this year.

Although passing the examination was the most important thing after a year, whether one would still be able to live to that day and have a healthy physique to take the trials in succession for several days, this was also the key to fate.

At this moment, everyone came out in twos and threes. After a few days of getting along with each other, the students had gotten to know each other very well. They were still on good terms with each other even before the final competition.

Today was different from normal days. Usually, when it was time for classes, the Bi’s Mansion carriage would wait outside the door. But today, Bi Zhenye left with the rest, but no one came to his house to fetch him.

Ershan walked behind him and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they were of similar age. In fact, they were about the same age, and Bi Zhenye was even a year older than him.

turned around and saw that Ershan had walked out. These few days, everyone had been discussing about Ling Xu, and some people even found out that he was born in some countryside inn. But how did such a person meet the emperor?

”Ling Yu, shall we go together?” Bi Zhenye opened his mouth and invited, ”Today, my family members have not come to pick me up.”

Ershan smiled lightly: ”It doesn't seem to be on the way.”

Bi Zhenye looked at the road ahead, and said: ”It's fine, let's walk to the front, maybe they will come, standing here waiting, it's boring.”

As the two of them walked together, the other students all watched on. Bi Zhenye was the Prime Minister's son, so he had an illustrious family background, and participated in the Country Exam as the supervisor of the country. He was different from Ershan and the other Elementary Scholars who had to pass the examinations.

It was so much so that if he did not participate in the Imperial Examinations, he could rely on his family's background to become an official and a member of the imperial court.

With such an identity, how could other people dare to easily cling onto him? Even though many people had already become sworn brothers with the Prime Minister, they did not dare to call Bi Zhenye brother. And this little rascal from the countryside actually dared to travel alongside Young Master Bi.

”The day the emperor arrived, he gave you a few pointers.” Bi Zhenye asked politely, ”When did you meet the heavens?”

”I forgot.” Ershan looked indifferent, ”That is a matter of the Tian Family.”

Bi Zhenye understood, to put it bluntly, this was also a personal matter with the emperor. The emperor would definitely not want others to find out about his private affairs, so Ling Yu had a responsibility to keep it a secret.

”Ling Chen, where are you from? Do you have any family in the capital?” Bi Zhenye said, ”If you are alone, why not come to my house to stay for the night? In the future, we can come to school together and study together.”

Ershan was about to answer, only to see a familiar horse carriage flying over.

The horse carriage came to a stop. A beautiful girl jumped off the carriage. Her clothes were bright, and in the deep autumn, they were bright and beautiful.
