Chapter 649: Handing In the Paper Early (3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When the participants below realized that someone had already handed in their paper in advance, and it was a woman, they began to panic.
Someone had already handed in their paper in. Did that mean that the exam time was almost over?
But they still had a lot of questions left to answer…
Not only did the others panic, but the Sixth Princess and Liang Chengcai were also affected.
They were not surprised that Lin Xiaoyue handed in her paper in advance.
At the same time, they felt proud of Lin Xiaoyue.
After all, the Sixth Princess almost regarded Lin Xiaoyue as her idol, and Liang Chengcai was the one who recommended Lin Xiaoyue to Emperor Yan.
However, when faced with some of the questions that were still unanswered, the two of them felt a sense of urgency.
The champion of today’s assessment would undoubtedly be Mrs. Li.
But now, it seemed that it would not be easy for them to get second or third place…
They quickly suppressed the panic in their hearts and focused on answering the questions again.
Above, Emperor Yan saw that everyone below had been affected by Lin Xiaoyue and was very unhappy.
He was once again annoyed with Lin Xiaoyue. At this time, Liu Wuji suddenly looked at Eunuch Dahu.
“Where’s the examiner?” He asked.
His granddaughter had already finished answering the questions, so why wasn’t her paper marked?
Before Eunuch Dahu could reply, Emperor Yan had already frowned.
Only one test paper was handed in. The marking officer could immediately give a score.
Wasn’t he worried she wouldn’t get any points and become a joke? Did the
Imperial Advisor not care about his pride?
Liu Wuji also noticed Emperor Yan’s expression, but he did not care.
“Let the examiner start marking the papers. The sooner the results are out, the sooner the winner will be decided.” Liu Wuji continued.
As soon as he said this, Emperor Yan finally could not tolerate it anymore. He turned his head to look at Liu Wuji.
The winner?
What shameless boasting. The Imperial Advisor actually thought that the woman could take the top spot? Where did the confidence come from?
Eunuch Dahu looked troubled.
However, he could not resist the Imperial Advisor’s gaze and agreed.
Then, he asked the guard to get the examiner.
While waiting for the examiner to come, Liu Wuji was in a good mood.
Not only did he not care about Emperor Yan’s gaze at all, but he was also in a good mood.
At this moment, Emperor Yan finally calmed down a little. He sensed something unusual.
The Imperial Advisor was calm and restrained, he was as open-minded as a valley and would not fight when he was not confident.
Today’s situation had something to do with the woman. However, it was still a little too much to trust the other party so much.
What was the reason?
Could it be that the girl’s mathematical ability was really that strong?
Or…there was something fishy about this assessment…
Thinking of the latter possibility, Emperor Yan’s face instantly darkened.
Then, he overthrew his second guess.
No, the Imperial Advisor was dedicated to the country, how could he be so muddle-headed on such a major matter?
However, in just a moment, Emperor Yan could not help but feel suspicious again.
Perhaps for other people he wouldn’t.
However, this woman looked so similar to the woman who had passed away…
As for the previous Imperial Advisor, he had abandoned his country for that woman. It might not be impossible…
While Emperor Yan was struggling with his thoughts, the examiner finally arrived.
After greeting Emperor Yan and the Imperial Preceptor, the examiner began to mark Lin Xiaoyue’s papers.
Emperor Yan and Liu Wuji both looked at the examiner, waiting for the results. The difference was that one wanted to see a low score, while the other wanted to see a high score, or even a full score.
As the marking went on, the two of them noticed that the examiner’s brows were furrowed.
Then, he seemed to be a little excited as he flipped through the test papers…
Emperor Yan and Liu Wuji did not know what the examiner had encountered.
After a while, he finally finished reading the paper.
He nodded, then stood up and walked towards Emperor Yan and Liu Wuji.
Just as he bowed to the two of them, Liu Wuji asked first, “what’s the situation?”
Emperor Yan glanced at Liu Wuji and also looked at the examiner. He also used his eyes to signal to the examiner to explain the situation.
The examiner smiled.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty. The champion of the examination has been determined.” Then, he bowed to Emperor Yan.
As soon as he said this, the examinees below were shocked and even in an uproar.
What? The exam time hadn’t even ended, and the top spot was already out?
The woman who was the first to hand in her paper? Her score was very high?
Not only were the other candidates shocked, but the Sixth Princess and Liang Chengcai were also shocked.
The examiner actually said that Mrs. Li is the top scorer?
What was the meaning of this?
Full marks?
If she didn’t get full marks, how could she be the top scorer?!
Glancing at the blank papers, the two of them were filled with admiration for the questions that they had not solved.
As expected of Mrs.. Li…
