Chapter 14 Li Youwei ranked first in the exam

At the end of the day's exam, Li Youwei rode the horse given by the dean back home.

Bitao was also frightened when she saw the injury on her forehead.

However, after returning to Li's house, Li Dengyuan brought Li Yaozu to look for trouble.

Probably because he hadn't gotten any benefit from her in the past two days, Li Yaozu invited Li Dengyuan here.

Li Dengyuan looked at the injury on Li Youwei's forehead with displeasure in his eyes.

[How can a girl marry a good family if her family has scars? 】

Listening to Li Dengyuan's thoughts, the expression on Li Youwei's face became even colder.

She spoke before he was about to start reprimanding him.

"Dad, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Little General Wang, they are all my friends now."

Sure enough, after hearing Li Youwei's words, Li Dengyuan's reprimand turned into a gratifying compliment.

"Our little one is still lovable, so remember to say more good things about dad in front of them."

"Don't worry, dad. They all say that dad is fair and clear, and he is a rare good official."

Li Dengyuan didn't have much ability, but he cared most about his official reputation. He especially liked to hear others say that he was honest and upright.

"Did they really say that?"

[What do children know? They must have heard their parents when they said it. 】

Li Youwei followed Li Dengyuan's inner voice and said.

"Actually, they also listen to what their parents say."

"Okay, okay, Youwei, you are daddy's pride. Study hard in the academy and don't let down daddy's expectations for you."

"Yes."

It wasn't until Li Youwei left with Bitao that Li Yaozu tugged on Li Dengyuan's sleeve and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Dad, if I were the one who went to Hongru Academy, I would be able to make more good friends.

Even the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Palace had to fight to marry me. "

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, that person is the fiancée of His Royal Highness.

You actually want to steal a woman from the prince, you don't want your life. "

Although Li Dengyuan had not raised Li Yaozu much since he was a child, he doted on him very much because he was the only male in the Li family.

At this moment, his face turned dark.

"Dad, of course I won't compete with His Highness the Crown Prince, but what if the eldest lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion takes the initiative to take a fancy to me.

If this is the case, it is not considered disloyal as a minister on my part. "

Li Yaozu's arrogant words made Li Dengyuan angry and wanted to slap him.

"Stop your thoughts that you shouldn't have as soon as possible, even in your dreams, remember?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Hurry back and read the book."

"Yes."

Li Yaozu reluctantly returned to the room, but he was muttering dissatisfied in his heart.

His father was so screwed up, no wonder he was still just a fourth-rank official with no real power in the officialdom for so many years.

When he takes the imperial examination, he will come back with the top prize.

Li Youwei was relieved for the time being. Li Dengyuan saw her value for the time being and would not trouble her in the short term.

She must seize every moment to grow.

Li Youwei worked harder, and the eldest princess saw it. She could understand Li Youwei's pain, so she didn't persuade him, but just stayed with him silently.

The third day of exams soon began, with calligraphy and articles in the morning and arithmetic in the afternoon.

Li Youwei didn't dare to have high hopes for the morning exam, as long as he could pass.

No one is perfect, and Li Youwei knows very well where his shining point is.

After ensuring that her calligraphy and articles would pass, she would spend a lot of time practicing martial arts.

The exam ended in the morning, and the results were similar to what Li Youwei predicted. Although her handwriting looked much better than before, it was not much better.

As for the article, it was barely passable. But unlike before, no one laughed at her anymore. For someone who is so good at archery, what's wrong with being a little off-kilter?

Nalan Ling and the prince both got full marks, and Wang Boyan also got a good score.

Soon the afternoon exam came. Li Youwei completed all the questions quickly by doing mental calculations and written calculations. He was the first to hand in the paper in this exam.

As soon as he handed in the paper, the dean and several wives gathered together to look at her paper.

When school was about to end, the total results of the three days of exams came out.

The dean personally posted the red list.

All the students gathered around the red list to see their rankings.

In the past, His Royal Highness topped the list, but with the change of Li Youwei, the ranking may change.

Nalan Ling pulled Li Youwei to the front and shook her arm excitedly.

"You Wei, look, you and His Royal Highness are tied for first place."

The names in the first column clearly read Li Youwei and Huangfu Chenyang. They ranked first with eleven credits.

The second place is Wang Boyan, the third place is Nalan Ling...

Zhou Yanting could have been among the top five in the exam, but he missed the last two exams due to injury, and his grades fell directly behind.

Zhou Tengfei almost jumped up on the spot with joy when he saw that he was finally no longer the last one.

"Chen Tuo, you see, there are benefits to doing good deeds. Just because of the extra one-quarter credits, I can get rid of the label of being a bad student."

The fifth prince wanted to say that the second to last one was actually a scumbag, but seeing how excited Zhou Tengfei was, he didn't have the courage to say it in the end.

When he has the strength of Li Youwei, he will beat Zhou Tengfei violently, and then he can become a serf and sing.

"Master Zhou Xiaohou is amazing." The fifth prince praised him against his will.

"To be more powerful, it has to be Li Youwei. She has only been in Hongru Academy for a month, and she has defeated all the proud men in the academy. Even the monsters can't catch up with her."

When Li Youwei was mentioned, the fifth prince's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Then let's learn from her. I found out that she usually doesn't have any hobbies.

In addition to studying in the study room, we also practice swordsmanship and boxing in the yard. As long as we are diligent enough, we can also make progress in specific tasks. "

After hearing what the fifth prince said, Zhou Tengfei immediately backed down.

"Farewell, I think there is nothing wrong with counting down. Let's just be happy young masters.

Anyway, with my sister here, I don’t have to worry about anything. "

The fifth prince had long seen through Zhou Tengfei's lack of ambition, and he no longer tried to persuade him, but just secretly involved him when Zhou Tengfei didn't know.

After the monthly exam, the college took a three-day holiday because tomorrow is the annual New Year's Day.

In Nanchen Kingdom, this festival is very grand, and every household has already prepared things for the festival.

Li You was only focused on his studies and paid little attention to these things.

She really felt the festive atmosphere when she put on the dress and jewelry prepared by the eldest princess herself.

"Thank you, mother."

Due to martial arts training, Li Youwei has gained a lot of height. Although he is still thin, he is so thin that he is full of strength.

The eldest princess pulled Li Youwei to sit down next to her and stroked her fair face.

"You Wei, can you call me mother when no one is around?"

Although my mother is solemn and dignified, she lacks a bit of intimacy.

The eldest princess knew that she had never given birth to Li Youwei, so she didn't have much hope for the proposal just now.

Li Youwei heard the eldest princess's thoughts of missing her deceased daughter, and she stretched out her calloused little hand to hold the eldest princess's.

"Mom, I am your daughter."

"Hey, good."

The eldest princess hugged Li Youwei and shed a tear.

At this moment, the maid's announcement came from outside.

"Elder Princess, Master Li is here with Aunt Li and the others."

 Babies, here you go, please feed me!
