“It’s almost time. Let’s go to our seats and wait.” She said.

“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue replied.

The three of them then walked towards the examination hall.

After the guard checked the tokens, they entered the examination hall empty-handed.

The so-called examination area was a separate area in the Imperial Garden.

Then, in the open space, the tables were arranged with some distance between each.

There was a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on each table.

Behind the table was a mat with a soft cushion on top.

Those who participated in the assessment sat on the cushion to answer the questions.

Their tokens were all at the front, and the three of them found their positions without much effort.

Liang Chengcai was quite far away from the two of them, but Lin Xiaoyue was next to the Sixth Princess.

After the Sixth Princess sat down in the first seat, she turned to look at Lin Xiaoyue.

“This assessment is very important to Father. He will personally supervise it.” “Moreover, the exam questions were proposed by the Ministry of Finance and the Imperial Advisor. Father was the one who chose them in the end.” The Sixth Princess said excitedly.

“I heard that the questions are very difficult!”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“Oh? The Imperial Advisor is also involved?” She asked with a smile.

She heard that his arithmetic ability was also very good.

But if that was the case, why not let him represent the Great Yan?

Although she was not sure what level his arithmetic ability had reached, it would definitely not be low.

“Yes!” the Sixth Princess said.

“If you are in the top three in the assessment, you can go to the Imperial Advisor’s residence in the next two days and receive his personal guidance. After some preparations, then you’ll have a match with Chu Jin’s envoy.”

This was also one of the reasons why she valued this assessment so much.

If he could enter the top three, he would need the Imperial Advisor’s personal guidance. Perhaps she would be able to successfully become his disciple.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“Why didn’t the Imperial Advisor participate in the competition with Chu Jin’s envoy?”

The Sixth Princess finally stopped smiling.

“He can’t! Chu Jin also knows that the Imperial Advisor is powerful, so they specifically mentioned that the Imperial Advisor is not allowed to participate in the competition!” The Sixth Princess said angrily.

Otherwise, Father would not have gone through so much trouble to select people from the entire country.

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flashed with understanding.

Chu Jin also knew that it was impossible to prevent the Imperial Advisor from helping.

Hehe, they were really afraid of the Imperial Advisor…

Knowing that the Imperial Advisor would be helping her in her future competition with Chu Jin, Lin Xiaoyue felt much more at ease.

“The Emperor has arrived, the Imperial Advisor has arrived!” At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

The originally noisy Imperial Garden instantly fell silent.

Everyone knelt down and greeted the Emperor.

Lin Xiaoyue also mimicked the princess and bowed.

After a while, Emperor Yan, who was wearing a dragon robe, sat down on a throne not far from Lin Xiaoyue.

Liu Wuji sat in the seat below Emperor Yan.

“Rise.” Only then did Emperor Yan speak.

“Thank you, Emperor!” Everyone thanked him in unison. They all stood up.

Emperor Yan’s gaze swept across the people participating in the assessment below.

When he looked at the Sixth Princess, she winked at him playfully.

The solemn Emperor Yan could not hold it in any longer, and his expression broke for a moment.

Then, he put on a stern face and gave the Sixth Princess a warning look.

The Sixth Princess almost stuck her tongue out.

Emperor Yan did not mind her. He then looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

After seeing Lin Xiaoyue’s face clearly, there was a moment of shock in his eyes.

Then, he glanced at Liu Wuji, who was sitting below him.

Seeing that Liu Wuji was smiling at Lin Xiaoyue, his brows subconsciously furrowed.

However, when Liu Wuji felt that something was wrong and turned to look at Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan’s gaze had already moved away from Lin Xiaoyue.

At this moment, Emperor Yan had already returned to his serious appearance.

“Let’s begin.” He said to Eunuch Dahu beside him.

“Yes.” Eunuch Da Hu hurriedly bowed.

Then, he waved his hand not far away.

A group of imperial guards immediately walked over with their examination papers.

Then, they distributed the exam papers one after another.

Eunuch Dahu didn’t wait for the imperial guards to finish handing out the exam papers before he spoke at the top of his voice..
