Mind Reading: Who understands? The emperor finally has a princess.

Chapter 163 But she has been a little unhappy recently, and I don’t know what’s going on?

As the sound of gongs and drums gradually spread through the streets and alleys of the capital, everyone came out to see the number one scholar.

The woman who was previously heartbroken by Hua Rong's self-exposure now has a new goal.

"This third place winner is so handsome. There are so many sisters who like him, so I'd better let them be. I still prefer the simple and unpretentious style of the first place winner!"

"Wow, Yun Qianhe, Yun Qianhe, I'm your die-hard fan, Yun Qianhe..."

"Yun Qianhe is so popular, I think his younger brother can also be my brother. Then Yun Qianhe will be my older brother, haha!"

"I didn't expect that the runner-up this time would be the daughter of Minister Lin. This is truly amazing and truly makes us women proud."

"Lin Bangyan has already been reserved for the Seventh Prince. Give up on your hopes, but I heard his family has four daughters waiting to be married! And they all passed the exam this time!"

"Minister Lin is amazing! I'm going to take my child to his house someday to pray for him to pass the next imperial examination!"

"Look here, Mr. Number One Scholar, Mr. Number One Scholar..."

……

The area was packed with people, and some of the ladies upstairs would throw their handkerchiefs to anyone they liked.

When passing by Wangyun Tower, Mrs. Jin and her daughter were also watching.

Mrs. Jin was so envious when she saw other people's daughters riding tall horses in parade.

Then he looked at his daughter, who was gnawing on a pig's trotter, and frowned.

In the crowd in the distance, an old woman tried to squeeze into the crowd, but failed.

"Old lady, please slow down. There are so many people here. Your legs and feet are not in good condition. Don't force your way in!"

"Daya, come in and see if my son is in high school yet?"

"Hey, wait for me here!"

So, the girl squeezed in, and at that moment, the top scholar who was parading in the streets came over.

She looked closely at the horse leading the way and saw that it was the old lady's son. She immediately shouted excitedly.

“I got it, I really got it!”

She cheered and waved towards Zhang Qianhe who was in the middle of the crowd.

Zhang Qianhe was sitting on his horse when he saw his mother standing in the corner in the distance.

Then, Daya quickly squeezed out.

"Madam, your son has graduated from high school. I saw him riding a horse!"

The old lady's eyes were filled with tears of excitement: "Really?"

At this moment, Zhang Qianhe turned over and got off the horse!

The people parading suddenly stopped, the top scholar in the lead dismounted, and the others looked over.

After Zhang Qianhe dismounted, he walked into the crowd, and the people around him automatically made way for him.

The old lady was still excited when she saw Zhang Qianhe coming up to her.

"mother!"

Zhang Qianhe called out.

The old lady looked at Zhang Qianhe, who was still wearing a big red flower.

"Did you win?" asked the old lady.

Zhang Qianhe immediately knelt down in front of the old lady.

"Mom, thank you very much for your guidance over the years!"

Having said that, the top scholar kowtowed to his mother in front of everyone.

Everyone was stunned. This was the mother of the top scholar!

Everyone thought that Zhang Qianhe, who won the top spot in the imperial examination, should have a good family background. He had an air of nobility about him, and was at least a noble son from a poor family.

But when I saw his mother, she was clearly just an ordinary peasant woman.

However, if he is chosen as the top scholar by the emperor, he will become the new noble of the dynasty.

Everyone couldn't help but envy and admire this old woman.

She was a peasant woman, but she raised such a great son.

The number one scholar's kneeling also showed his character.

The old lady: "Hurry up and get up, there are so many people watching!"

After Zhang Qian calmed down, he asked Daya to send his mother back first, and then went to parade again.

But the action just now was secretly recorded by someone, and he left with the old lady.

Inside the palace.

After the emperor left the court, he took Long Xianxian back to Xianfu Palace.

Today's morning palace examination has only just ended.

Long Xianxian was already howling with hunger.

At this moment, he was being held by the wet nurse and started to drink milk.

Xianfu Palace.

The Queen was talking to Nanny Jinsu who came from the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is attaching great importance to the little princess's full moon banquet. She is planning to go to the Huguo Temple outside the city tomorrow to chant sutras and pray for the little princess. I have come here specifically to let this old servant inform Your Majesty."

The Queen: "How can this be done? My mother is old, how can we allow her to continue to travel and work so hard?"

Jin Su: "The Empress Dowager has only one precious granddaughter, and she is thinking of praying for her granddaughter's safety and happiness at the birthday banquet."

The Queen: "Since that's the case, I, your concubine, would like to thank you, your mother, on behalf of the little princess!"

At this moment, the emperor came in holding Long Xianxian.

[Mother, mother, I'm back. Did you miss me? Let me tell you, today's palace exam is...]

Before anyone came in, my daughter's thoughts were already there.

The Queen and Jin Su come to the door.

"I have met His Majesty!"

The Emperor: "Mammy is here too. How is Mother doing lately?"

[Of course, the Empress Dowager is fine. She can eat and sleep well, but she seems a little unhappy recently. I don't know what's going on.]

Not very happy?

Jin Su smiled awkwardly. Ever since she asked those eunuchs to leave the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager had indeed been unhappy.

Jin Su: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is doing well. She sent me to tell the Empress today that she will leave the palace tomorrow to go to the Huguo Temple to ask for a peace amulet for the little princess."

[Amulet of Peace? What is that? I don't need it. It's better for me to ask for it than for the Empress Dowager. I'm much more useful than that thing!]

Jin Su was stunned. This was just childish talk!

The Emperor said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mother. However, the journey is long, so it would be better if the Queen could send more people to accompany us."

Queen: "Yes, I will have someone arrange it later!"

Long Xianxian suddenly remembered something.

[The Imperial Grandmother is leaving the palace. Ahhhhhh, Father, can I go with her? She's asking for that thing for me. If I don't go, will it be ineffective?]

[The palace is so boring, Father, I want to leave the palace and go find my grandmother!]

The emperor was speechless. His daughter was addicted to leaving the palace.

He couldn't help but think of what Yun's father said about raising children. Should he find some books to read to his daughter so that she could develop a hobby?

Jin Su: "Then I will go report to the Queen Mother first!"

As soon as Jin Su left, the queen couldn't help but come over and hug Long Xianxian in her arms.

"Xianxian, have you been good in the court today?"

[Of course, I didn't pee the entire time. If you don't believe me, ask Father. But the court today wasn't fun at all. I thought those students taking the imperial examinations would be fun, but after watching them, some of them looked so miserable.]

[Mother, the mother of that number one scholar was a child bride bought by his father. Furthermore, his mother was the eldest daughter of Jun Jiuling, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, who was abducted that year. And Jun Jiuling's first wife was even more miserable. Because her daughter was lost, she cried until one eye went blind. Later, she ran out in a mad state in the middle of the night and froze to death. It was so tragic!]

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.
