Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 82, the palace examination is complete. Princess Dahuang: So angry, so angry, so angry!

"Zhen asks: How does a monarch govern his officials?"

Although the hometown is in a festive mood,

Old Bai is like a lost fisherman, asking anyone he catches, "How did you know my son ranked first in the imperial examination?"

But in reality,

In the capital city, the palace examination has just begun,

Bai Yu looked at the words on the exam paper and couldn't help but smile.

Other scholars who saw this question were probably dumbfounded.

Your Majesty, what does this question mean?

How are they supposed to answer?

If they answer poorly, they fail.

If they answer well, they are seen as too knowledgeable - is there a problem with their thinking?

Little did they know, Lan Su posed this question

Just for one person.

"Your Majesty, you still have a mischievous heart~"

He chuckled and shook his head.

Then he lifted his pen,

"As a subject, how can I understand the way a monarch governs his officials?"

"I don't know!"

"I only know to be diligent and dedicated as a subject."

"To devote oneself completely and only rest in death."

He wrote a few simple sentences on the exam paper that made other scholars scratch their heads.

The purpose of the exam is only to rank and select.

If he passes through the back door, he would already be the top scorer, so why bother writing these miscellaneous things?

It would be good enough if he doesn't submit a blank paper.

"Sir, I'm done answering!"

In the hall,

Bai Yu raised his hand towards the invigilator and said with a smile.

FFA: ???

Oh my goodness!

What is this thing!

I haven't even finished half of it yet?

How long has it been?

With a glance, it was Bai Yu sitting in the first place of Class A.

Bai Yu, it's fine now!

Almost ninety percent of the people present have attended poetry gatherings.

They also recognize Bai Yu.

He is abnormal, he is a monster,

People cannot be compared to such monsters.

It is said that during the preliminary examination, this person submitted his paper ahead of time.

Now in the palace examination, he is not restraining himself, but instead going all out.

In such a short time, he has finished answering.

Sitting next to Bai Yu, Jiguang Sui pondered...

Damn it!

But I've gotten used to it.

It's a tragedy to live in the same era as someone who shines too brightly.

Because of their brilliance, my own light will always be overshadowed by them.

I've always lived in the shadow of that person.

The second and the first are so similar, yet so far apart.

"Um... don't you want to double-check?"

The exam proctor looked at the young scholar and asked tentatively.

I've heard about this genius prodigy a long time ago,

But handing in your paper at this time is really outrageous!

Are you saying that His Majesty's questions are too easy?

To be honest... they were all quite nervous.

Last time, a large group of people were caught cheating during the imperial examination, and they're still in prison.

There are rumors that it's related to Bai Yu.

"No!"

"My darling wife is waiting for me~"

Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand, using the same words as last time when he handed in his paper.

But before it was just empty talk, this time it's real.

FA:......

This time it's not at home,

The little snake in his arms trembled lightly.

Showing a few people's embarrassment in a very human way.

What about in the examination hall!

Why is the young master still so unruly!

"Please hand over your exam paper, sir."

The green-clothed secret guard who had been waiting on the side came to Bai Yu's side and said respectfully.

Lansu had sent him here a long time ago.

His purpose in coming to this examination hall was for Bai Yu's sake.

Bai Yu obviously couldn't blend in with the other five hundred people.

Otherwise, if Bai Yu were to write something beyond expectations,

Just like last time, another group of people would be caught.

That would be too much for the exam proctors.

"Alright!"

Bai Yu glanced at him and nodded with a light smile.

He casually handed over the paper to him.

As a secret guard directly under the emperor, the exam proctors present naturally wouldn't stop him.

Then,

Bai Yu stood up, stretched lazily, and amidst the various thoughts of others,

He leisurely walked out of Baohe Hall.

"Bai Yu, how did it go?"

"You handed in your paper so quickly?"

After leaving Baohe Hall, he didn't walk far before encountering an acquaintance.

The eldest princess was dressed in black silk clothes, with her hair tied up,

It's not a bound chest men's clothing,

Looking dignified and elegant, noble and graceful.

She waved her hand at Bai Yu and asked with a faint smile.

In the future, Bai Yu will enter the court as an official,

At his age,

It is certain that it will be their generation's loyal servant.

"What are you looking at?!"

I don't know if it's because of the special experience between the two when they first met.

Bai Yu glanced at her neck as soon as he saw Lan Xi.

And Lan Xi is also particularly sensitive to his gaze.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes and pout.

Is it just because he's wearing men's clothing again? Why does he keep looking at her!

This rascal!

Really audacious!

From childhood to adulthood, has anyone always been so rude to her?!

Strangely... she doesn't seem to be able to get angry.

Instead, she feels... a strange mood.

Bai Yu smiled and didn't say much.

"Just a simple top scorer!"

Bai Yu actually has a good impression of this great princess with grand ambitions.

Of course, the more important reason is because she is beautiful.

He smiled at her, completely without any humility, and said naturally.

Lan Xi:...

This person is really as unique as ever.

But this is indeed a fact,

After the literary meeting,

No one questioned Bai Yu's worth anymore.

Such literary talent, such a realm of thought... Even if it is extended to this world, there are not many people who can compare.

The literati in the capital are convinced.

If he doesn't get the top score this time, that would be strange!

"I heard that Master Shi Hongqu from the Imperial College went to buy a few letters from you?"

... Asking for flowers.

A thousand gold for four sentences, and a thousand gold for one character.

This is not a secret. The great princess is well-informed and naturally knows.

How should I put it?

Such grand ambitions, such a realm of thought in his writing,

Turns out to be bought.

It's tied to interests, which has a particularly strange sense of dissonance.

But... if you connect it with Bai Yu's strange talent, it doesn't seem so dissonant.

The acceptance of Princess Da Huang has now reached an infinite level for Bai Yu.

Whatever he says or does,

She can accept it.

"It is true!"

"How come, Your Highness, do you also want to buy it?"

"You should know that rare things are valuable, and it's not so easy for me to part with it!"

"But with our good relationship, I can give you a discount~"

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled at Lan Xi.

Doing business with wealthy people is the best!

Lan Xi:

0

Rare things are valuable... and now you're bringing up doing business with me!

The one talking about the thoughts of sages is him, and the one being so worldly is also him.

So annoying!

What a scoundrel!

But honestly, she was actually tempted.

But seeing this person looking so smug and deserving of a beating, she felt annoyed.

She couldn't help but scold him: "No!"

"What do you want to do now? Where do you want to go?"

"Do you have time?"

"Let's have a drink and chat, how about that?"

"Discuss with me the idea that 'the heart is reason, the conscience is the ultimate good, and knowledge and action are one.'"

Upon careful consideration, these simple ten words are truly profound.

As if containing a magnificent ideology that can establish a sect and govern the world.

This person always manages to bring out something shocking.

Being a king doesn't really require too much discussion of these saintly thoughts.

Sages are suitable for enlightening the masses, not for being officials, let alone kings.

Hearing too much of it makes the mind dull.

But this is Lan Xi's personal preference.

She leaned closer to Bai Yu, asking with some anticipation.

Being with Bai Yu, she truly feels enlightened.

This elevated state of mind makes everything appear clear, and she becomes particularly intoxicated.

Bai Yu: ............

Why does everyone rush to him to hear him talk about grand principles!

"I'm busy!"

"I'm going to the Flower Moon Tower!"

"It's the standard after the imperial examination, isn't it all about romance and pleasure~"

Bai Yu had no respect at all for the esteemed Grand Princess,

He just shrugged his shoulders and straightforwardly refused, as a matter of course.

The Grand Princess is indeed very beautiful!

Chatting with her is quite interesting.

But he is a commoner and really doesn't want to talk about these miscellaneous grand principles.

Romance and pleasure, enjoying music and beauty, what's wrong with that?

Lan Xi: ............

Who told you that visiting brothels is the standard after the imperial examination?!!!!!

Can this guy really be an official?!!!

So angry, so angry, so angry!!! Ugh!
