Chapter 111 Number One Scholar
Lu Yuan addressed the emperor as uncle or great-uncle.

It’s just that due to the rules of the royal family, this name is not generally used in formal occasions.

Lu Yuan left Beijing when he was very young and only met Emperor Sheng a few times.

When Xuan Jiuqing came to Taohua Town, Lu Yuan actually wanted to call Xuan Jiuqing his uncle.

It’s just that royal relatives are not something that can be easily obtained. Emperor Sheng has countless children, and these collateral relatives are even more numerous.

In addition, Princess Ning'an rarely appears in public, so she is not very famous in the capital.

Moreover, Lu Changqing doesn't like to have anything to do with the Ning'an Palace.

Another thing is, all the princes and nobles in the capital have some connection with the royal family!

In his previous life, although Lu Yuan entered the officialdom, he did not take the imperial examination.

A lot of things have changed in this life.

However, Lu Yuan ranked very high in the exam.

It's the second place.

The first place is Liu Shuyuan, the warm fiancé.

He came first in this examination.

He was also the top scorer in the previous provincial examination.

This person is quite talented.

After all, Lu Yuan was not like Liu Shuyuan who studied every day. Lu Yuan had not read for a long time and had neglected his studies for some time.

It’s normal to fail the exam.

Lu Yuan vowed that he would definitely win back in the palace examination.

Lu Yuan went out wearing a bright red dress.

At this time, the favorite for the top spot was Liu Shuyuan.

Because Liu Shuyuan was well-known for his talent, his previous test scores were also very good.

He is not a bookworm, he writes very well.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat Lu Yuan.

Emperor Sheng looked at the students in the audience.

He saw Lu Yuan at a glance.

Lu Yuan looks very much like his father.

Emperor Sheng remembered Lu Changqing.

"You must be Yun'er's grandson! You look exactly like your mother, I can tell at a glance. According to seniority, you should call me uncle!"

Emperor Sheng said to Lu Yuan very happily, "This is a lie with open eyes. It is obvious that Lu Yuan looks like Lu Changqing and is not similar to his mother and grandmother. But Emperor Sheng insisted that Lu Yuan looks exactly like his mother."

If Lu Yuan really looked like his mother, Emperor Sheng might not be able to recognize Lu Yuan at first glance.

After so many years, Emperor Sheng had almost forgotten what Lu Yuan's mother looked like.

Emperor Sheng was very happy to see Lu Yuan at the palace examination today.

After all, Lu Yuan also has royal blood, and now he is so outstanding, he naturally feels very happy in his heart.

He has read the papers of Lu Yuan and Liu Shuyuan.

In fact, he was also hesitant.

Both names were obscured.

Of course Emperor Sheng has the right to open it and read it.

But Emperor Sheng didn't.

If he had known earlier that the article was written by Lu Yuan, he would definitely give the title of champion to Lu Yuan.

After all, Lu Yuan is one of us.

When Lu Yuan heard that Emperor Sheng was talking about his relationship with him, he frowned.

He wanted to defeat Liu Shuyuan with his real talents and skills.

It was not because his grandmother was Emperor Sheng's biological sister that Emperor Sheng gave him a backdoor.

When Emperor Sheng said this now, it was clear that he was going to leave him behind.

Although Lu Yuan was unhappy, he was not so stupid as to offend Emperor Sheng in person.

Instead, he forced a smile, took a step forward, and called out sweetly, "Grandson greets uncle."

"Okay, okay, very good!"

Emperor Sheng said to Lu Yuan very happily.

Although Lu Yuan looks like Lu Changqing, his personality is not as dull as Lu Changqing.

Emperor Sheng liked Lu Yuan very much and gave him a token that allowed him to enter the palace at any time. Lu Yuan's position was appointed by Emperor Sheng himself.

Dali Zheng, also known as Si Zheng, is an official who directly tries cases under the Dali Temple. He is the highest-ranking judge and is in charge of trying specific cases or being sent to local areas to review cases. He is of the seventh rank.

A seventh-rank official is not a small position.

Still a Beijing official.

And he has real power.

It can be seen that Emperor Sheng values ​​Lu Yuan very much.

And he has already acknowledged Lu Yuan as his grandson.

He has made a name for himself here with Emperor Sheng.

In the future, when you meet other princes, you can call them cousin.

The other imperial grandchildren can be called cousins.

Lu Yuan’s identity is no longer the same as before.

Before, Lu Yuan had never paid homage to Emperor Sheng.

Although he has royal status, as long as he doesn't say it, others will pretend not to know.

But now, since Lu Yuan didn’t say anything, others didn’t dare to pretend they didn’t know.

Originally, Liu Shuyuan should have been the second place, but Emperor Sheng said that Liu Shuyuan was good-looking and the second place winner was not handsome, so Liu Shuyuan was the third place.

When the top three scholars in the imperial examination were paraded through the streets, many young ladies from the capital stood by and watched.

Xu Qiuyue was also watching from the side.

Liu Shuyuan was the top scholar in his previous life, but in this life he is only the third.

However, Xu Qiuyue understood why Liu Shuyuan was the third place.

Because the runner-up is already fifty years old, and has reached the age of knowing the destiny.

At this age, it is indeed not appropriate to be ranked third in the imperial examination.

Because the Tanhua position is usually held by a handsome and talented scholar chosen by the emperor.

Generally speaking, the third place winner is more popular than the first place winner in the marriage circle in Beijing.

However, two of the top three this time are already married.

The remaining Liu Shuyuan has also been engaged.

Standing tenderly in the attic, she looked at Liu Shuyuan from afar.

Sympathy.

"Miss, Young Master Liu was originally the top scholar. If Lu Yuan was not the grandson of Princess Ronghua, His Majesty would definitely not have given him the top scholar title."

"Yuling, what nonsense are you talking about? Tanhua is very good, but if you are too full, you will lose."

She looked at Liu Shuyuan's figure tenderly, feeling satisfied no matter how she looked at it.

"Miss, are you worried that the Crown Prince will target Master Liu?"

The maid Yuling knew some inside information. The master said that the young lady's reputation was affected, so she could only find a poor scholar.

However, Mr. Liu is very talented. Although his family background is not noble, it is still acceptable and can be considered a well-off family.

If Xuan Yi knew that Wen Qing had married well, he would definitely find out that the Wen family had deceived him.

“He was still not satisfied with marrying my sister and spent all day hanging out in brothels.

He already has several concubines in his mansion, and I heard that he recently fell in love with a notorious prostitute from a brothel.

How can such a person compare to Master Liu?"

Wen Qing doesn't like Xuan Yi.

Although his status is noble.

But Wen Qing looked down on Xuan Yi.

Just like Wenrou, Wenrou also looks down on Xuan Yi.

If Xuan Yi wasn't the only son.

Wen Qing had no doubt that the prince would focus on training another son.

Xuan Yi was obsessed with wine and women.

Such a person, no matter how honorable his status is.

Wen Qing was also unwilling to marry him.

The most important thing is that he kept saying that he loved Wenrou, but he killed Wenrou with his own hands. After killing Wenrou, he still wanted to marry her who was somewhat similar to Wenrou.
