I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 994

The third day after the release of the results of the tribute examination is the day of the palace examination.

In other words, on the second day after the Meng sisters settled down, it was time for Gu Yuanlong to go to the palace to meet the emperor.

This is also the most important turning point in his life!

Before dawn, Xia Ying and Gu Tuo both got up.The husband and wife drove everyone out of the kitchen, one of them lit the fire and the other cooked. The two of them cooked a big bowl of chicken noodle soup, and then Xia Ying fried two round eggs.

After breakfast was ready, they brought the things to Gu Yuanlong.

"Brother Long, let's eat! After eating, you should go to the palace examination."

Seeing the plain noodles with a faint fragrance and the fried eggs neatly arranged on the plate this night, Gu Yuanlong smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked.

"Father and mother have worked hard. My son will definitely not let you down today!"

He picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and slowly ate a bowl of noodles and two eggs.

After eating, Xia Ying took out a new set of clothes for him to change into.

Then sister Fu and a group of children also got up.Everyone sent Gu Yuanlong to the door together, and watched Gu Yuanlong get into the car.

After sitting in the carriage, Gu Yuanlong waved at them. "Okay, let's all go back! It's still early, you'd better go back to sleep. When you wake up, things should come to an end."

He said it lightly.

But since she knew that if he entered the palace this time, it would be like entering a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair alone, how could Xia Ying feel relieved?

So after watching Gu Yuanlong's carriage go away, Xia Ying turned around.

"Brother Hao, take out all the good materials in the warehouse. Sister Fu, Xiaoqi, get ready with scissors and needlework, let's hurry up and sew new clothes for Brother Long!"

Anyway, it was impossible to just sit at home and wait, so she simply found something for herself to do.

Several children also agreed repeatedly.

In fact, not only Xia Ying's family felt uneasy today.Master Mao and Prince Ning's residence are also the same.

So as soon as Gu Yuanlong left on the front foot, Mrs. Mao and Ning Wang and his wife all came over on the back foot.

When they entered the door, they saw a large piece of bright red silk satin spread on the table, sister Fu and Xiao Qi were mixing paint, and Xia Ying was already writing and drawing on the cloth with a charcoal pen in her hand, She was still muttering words——

"The title of the gold list, known as Da Dengke, the pattern on this dress must be eye-catching, so it should be gold! As for the pattern... sweet-scented osmanthus? No, it was used in Jiangbian Province the year before last, and it must be Brother Long won’t compete with others for the supporting painting of the champion. Let’s use plum blossoms! The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. "

As she spoke, she quickly outlined the vigorous branches of plum blossoms on the red cloth with her hands.

Seeing this, Mao Linglong quickly pulled Mrs. Mao, and the mother and daughter stood aside and watched Xia Ying work quietly.

Xia Ying didn't realize that there were two more people beside her until she finished proofing the pattern.

She quickly put down the charcoal pencil. "When did you come? Why didn't you make a sound when you came?"

"You are busy painting, this is an important matter, why do we bother?" Mao Linglong shook her head.

Madam Mao looked at the rudiments of the flower branches on the silk and satin, and she also nodded: "Sure enough, things drawn with care are different. Sister Ying, your current painting is more exquisite than all the things in your previous albums."

The corner of Xia Ying's mouth twitched slightly. "I prepared this for Brother Long, so of course I have to do my best. Besides, he deserves it!"

Madam Mao frowned slightly. "Are you sure that he will survive this test and be named on the gold list?"

"Yes!" Xia Ying nodded firmly, "I believe in Brother Long's ability, and I also believe in justice. Brother Long will definitely get what he deserves!"

Her swearing appearance also gave everyone a little more confidence.

King Ning immediately said: "Actually, it's useless to say these things now. But I have already made arrangements in the palace in advance. If there is any movement in the palace examination, the people inside will immediately spread the news to us. More than a cup of tea. We'll just have to wait patiently now, and... the time is coming soon."

Xia Ying looked up at the sun that had already climbed high outside, but her heart sank even lower.

At this moment, the morning court was over in the palace, and it was time for a new batch of students who had finished the tribute examination to enter the palace to accept the emperor's assessment.

The emperor is also in a very good mood now.

Long before the morning court today, the eunuch beside him whispered to him: "My Majesty, among the Jinshi of the current department, there is a very good-born person who caused a sensation when the entrance examination started. Later, when the list was released at the gate of the Gongyuan, he Impressively on the list, it immediately attracted dozens of family members to fight for it, and the fight was so fierce at that time! In the end, it was the Gao family who was more skilled and snatched him away!"

"Really? This Gao family doesn't show their heads outside all year round, and every time they grab new subjects, they are quick and ruthless." Listening to the eunuch's description, the emperor couldn't help laughing, "So, the Gao family Is there going to be a son-in-law soon?"

"That's not it."

Ok?
The emperor was surprised. "Didn't they snatch people away?"

"I got it, but it doesn't mean that Xinke Jinshi will agree to marry Miss Gao's family! Xinke Jinshi's mother even sternly refused this marriage, and even went to the door to snatch her in person!"

"Is there such a thing?"

The emperor was really aroused this time.

"I found that the women in the capital are becoming more and more daring now! They can actually do such a thing!"

The eunuch sighed lowly. "How can it be people from the capital who can make things like this? The women in the capital are all virtuous, virtuous and well-behaved! This old slave has lived for so many years, and I have only seen such a bold person."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You mean, the person who did it was—"

"That's right, it's Xia Shuren who has caused countless troubles! This Xinke Jinshi whose head was robbed is Xia Shuren's eldest son!"

"It turned out to be her again!" The emperor snorted coldly immediately, "She really is becoming more and more lawless! But now, I want to take a good look at what kind of good son this woman has raised!"

With this doubt, when the Xinke Scholars entered the arena one by one, the emperor fixed his eyes on the three people standing in the first row.

These three are the tentative top three.

He remembered that the eunuch said that the Xia family's son was No.3 in the exam!

To be selected as No.3 by the examiner, in addition to being talented and learned, there is another very important feature, that is - must be good-looking!
The appearance of this young man has already been approved by the chief examiner.

This surprised the emperor even more.

With Xia's appearance, what a handsome and handsome son could she give birth to?
So after everyone finished their prostrations, the emperor said, "Which of you is Gu Yuanlong?"
