The Rebirth of the Empress

Triumph

The examiners took to the stage to discuss the results of the exam and the students below the stage were heated in the discussion.

Today Shen Miao did not embarrass herself and it made the academy examination seem a little boring but many of her classmates who did not look at her paid more attention to her. Humans are all weird. When a normally terrible person performs a little better, perhaps someone else will think that there will be a reversal of luck.

Feng An Ning was a bit nervous and kept looking towards the examiners from time to time. For some unknown reason, some of the Daren on stage had a disagreement about something.

“It looks like today is also very intense.” Fu Xiu An laughed, "But for women, why should one be so competitive because they will not enter the official circle." He had some arrogant characteristics and was not afraid that Daren beside him would not be able to hear his words, after all some of their daughters were those who went up on stage.

"A chance of the academy exam is rare and of course people will take advantage of it." Fu XiuYi.

"The words of Ninth Brother aren't wrong." Fu Xiu Xuan took the tea on the table to take a sip before speaking, "If there is such an incredible woman, Ninth Brother should pay more attention." Even though he looked quiet, he was not a person that was easy to deal with. He secretly and openly tested whether Fu XiuYi would find a wife with a strong family background.

"Silver Fifth is joking." Fu XiuYi shook her head, “The Imperial Father will break my marriage. I will not have a voice in this matter.”

That's also true. It was the emperor who arranged Fu Xiu Yi's current duties and he rarely took the initiative to think of anything on his own. In the eyes of outsiders, this kind of Prince was too obedient and had no ambition, just like Consort Dong Shu. But in the eyes of Prince Jing, Fu Xiu Xi, it would always be different.

“There is only one life and one needs to take a chance on it. Isn't that the same as marrying a wife?” Prince Jing's words had an additional meaning, "Until the end, who knows what the outcome will be?"

Prince Zhou heard the temptation made by his own sister for Fu Xiu Yi, his eyes shifted but he did not speak.

Not long after, the examiners came out and announced the results.

In the qin category, as expected, it was Feng An Ning who came out as the top. Initially none were very strong and Feng An Ning could be considered as the most outstanding. He was naturally happy when he went up to collect the certificate of the exam and happily went down to show it to Feng Furen. Feng Furen looked happy because a glory like this would be a icing on the cake even women would not be officials. The children of noble and wealthy families were naturally not lacking in wealth or valuables but their talent and beauty would be able to separate them into different classes.

Feng An Ning used the academy examination and raised his level.

In the chess category, it was Bai Wei who appeared above. The records of the ongoing chess matches are shown from the people below to look to ensure fairness. Shen Miao glanced at the chess game and repeated his movements in his mind. Bai Wei's game was meticulous and could last the longest. Unfortunately too much attention is placed on trivial details and there is no better focus on the overall situation which hinders progress and makes it somewhat of a burden.

For the literature category, Shen Qing only ranked second. The first rank belonged to Yi Pei Lan. Her poem about the blooming Chrysanthemum complaint is very elegant and adorable. Although it was a bit of an exaggeration for a young unmarried woman to write such a poem, but Guang Wen Tang was a place that violated etiquette and was not too harsh on the requirements of women. Moreover the poem is written in an interesting and adorable way and not only from the point of view of the Chrysanthemum Flower but uses the Chrysanthemum Flower to voice one's thoughts and thus add another level more tall.

Shen Qing's expression was not good but he was naturally not good at writing poetry so the result was so helpless.

Finally Shen Miao's group 'painted'.

On the stage the expressions of the examiners were mixed and it was most likely this that was the subject of debate. The women began to speculate that Shen Yue and Qing Qin's pawns had their respective advantages and it would be difficult to make a choice, as the two were often compared to each other in Guang Wen Tang. Qing Qin sat in his original position arrogantly as if he was scoffing at the result but the fingers holding the teacup became stiff.

Shen Yue naturally had a well thought out plan, his brushstrokes showed strength, it was interesting and even the conception was all thought out. It was as if he had known the preferences of these examiners in order for him to always come out with the best work. So what if Qing Qin looked beautiful, it was only to be seen and pointless. Thinking of such a useless thing, his eyes were fixed on Shen Miao who was sitting at the side. Shen Miao had caused him to suffer such great damage and he thought that Shen Miao would humiliate himself in the academy but who knew that he passed it safely. Now that the pieces were displayed for everyone to see, Shen Miao would not be able to escape the ridicule.

After all he would be a joke and a hint of comfort appeared in his heart.

The examiner responsible for reading the results shouted on stage loudly, "The first rank of the painting group - Shen Miao."

Shen Miao's? first rank!

One stone creates a thousand ripples. Everyone made a fuss that the names of the next rankers recited by the examiners were drowned in them.

Shen Yue's smile stiffened on her face for a moment as she looked at Chen Rou Qiu with an incredible look and spoke in a trembling voice, “Mother, just now? I must have misheard.”

Chen Rou Qiu pinched Shen Yue's arm. Despite the shock and anger in her heart, she ate a few decades more rice than Shen Yue, who was a woman, and thus knew that in such a situation there would definitely be many people who would definitely see Shen Yue's reaction. If Shen Yue was generous, it would be good but if he were like it was a matter of life or death like before, he would be harmed.

Although Shen Qing and Ren Wan Yun felt proud that this was the first time Shen Yue had lost his face, they were also shocked when that person was Shen Miao. They thought the examiner had mistaken Shen Yue for Shen Miao.

There were continuous discussions among the female side of the banquet and of course there was commotion on the male side.

"What the hell is going on? Why not Little Yue?” Cai Lin suddenly stood up and looked at his classmate sitting beside him, “Did I hear wrong? The old man misread it, right?”

He's not the only one who thinks like that. Especially the youths who were Shen Miao's classmates had shocked expressions in their eyes.

“First Brother, look. I know he'll win.” Su Ming Lang pulled Su Ming Feng. In this group of people, it was most likely that she was the happiest of all and the fat on her pretty face also followed and trembled.

Su Ming Feng's head was also aching. Who knew that it was Shen Miao. Every year there would be an underground bet for the academy examination and he bet on Shen Yue for a thousand burrows!

Done it. A thousand burrows were just thrown away. If Master Su knew, he would definitely tear her apart. Looking at Su Ming Lang who was jumping in joy, Su Ming Feng wanted to cry but there were no tears.

Pei Lang frowned but he did not look towards the examiners on the stage and instead saw the purple-clothed young lady in the middle of the banquet lady's side.

He was very calm and indifferent with all the surprises and doubts from others.

He knew for a long time that he would win.
