The mama stopped talking and went behind the screen.
The mama and Cen Si nodded, "Master Cen Si, what did the Prince say about the first round of examination?"
The Fan mama nodded his head, seeing that the servants had already set up the tables and chairs, put in the fruits and tea, and had even placed a cushion on the chairs, he quietly retreated one by one.
After the servants left, more people came in from outside.
When Fan mama looked over, he realized that they were all people from Ministry of Rites and they were also the examiners.
The other one surprised her. He was the son of Ministry of Rites, the assistant minister of Ministry of Rites, the one chosen by the Emperor, Ji Hao Lin.
Ji Hao Lin was a male envoy, although he was not an examinee, it was reasonable for him to be here.
The Fan mama did not ask any further, his gaze continuing to stay on the doorstep.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a handsome figure slowly walked into the room.
Regardless of whether it was Cen Si or the mama, or even the other officials of Ministry of Rites, they all subconsciously tensed up as their expressions became respectful.
"Greetings, Prince."
When Yuan Jin got closer, everyone cupped their hands and bowed.
"There's no need to be so polite." Yuan Jin raised his hand and said with a smile.
His gaze swept past Ji Hao Lin's body and directly landed on the center seat.
There were a few chairs at the side. Yuan Jin waved his hand and the rest of the chairs quietly sat down.
Ji Hao Lin didn't have a seat, so he could only stand behind his father. He couldn't help but start to size up Flame King as well.
When Cen Si saw it, his eyes coldly glanced at Ji Hao Lin, and asked in a deep voice, "Does Ji gongzi have any dissatisfaction with the Duke?"
Ji Hao Lin was shocked, perspiring in cold sweat, immediately bowing and cupping his hands, "Hao Lin doesn't dare, Your Highness, please forgive me. It's just that it's only Hao Lin's first time seeing the Duke at such a close distance, and he admired the Duke for learning such skills.
Flame King only laughed, he did not say that he should blame others, and picked up an orange from the side and started peeling it.
The other officials could not help but look at each other. Initially, they thought that the Flame King would not care about this matter, but why did they feel that Ji Hao Lin seemed to have offended His Highness?
Ji Hao Lin was stunned, his heart thumped for a moment, and then cold sweat came out as well.
He was a little absent-minded just now, but he did not expect that the Flame King would be so unhappy. He immediately regretted it.
Seeing that, Ji Yun hurriedly stood up and apologized, "Your highness, your son has never seen the world, and is feeling uneasy, Your highness has let you down."
"Lord Ji, your son seems to be the one receiving the foreign envoys this time. It's not good if he hasn't seen the world." Yuan Jin did not even look at them, he still lowered his head to pick up the white silk on top of the orange, "If you meet the envoy again in the future and get distracted, won't you be a joke to others?"
Everyone was startled, Flame King's words were too serious.
The thoughts of the officials present were all different, because Yuan Jin's single sentence had already made them all think of countless of possibilities, but they all knew that they could not stand up and speak.
However, very quickly, Yuan Jin waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I am not such a petty person, take a seat Lord Ji, business is more important."
Ji Yun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, then turned and sat down.
He merely turned around and glared at Ji Hao Lin, warning him to not cause any more trouble.
Ji Hao Lin was a little resentful in his heart. Flame King was clearly relying on his status to make things difficult for him, if not, why would he choose to pick from him?
Just you wait, this time when the Great Nations sends out an envoy to the Daxuan, he, as the male envoy, will receive distinguished guests. After this, the Emperor will definitely give a huge reward, and at the very least, he will be an official of some rank. Wait until he climbed up step by step, then there would be a day when he would have the authority to rule the imperial court. At that time, wouldn't Flame King be polite to him, and even look at him with eyes?
No, by that time, Flame King would already be dead.
Thinking about it, Ji Hao Lin's mood became better, and hoped for the envoy of the Great Nations to come soon.
Then, he focused his attention on the other side of the screen, where his sister was. However, he also knew that Ji Lan Yu would probably not make it to the final round. The most likely ones were Princess Le Chen and Yu Family.
When he thought about Princess Le Chen's identity, appearance, and possibly the fact that he would receive foreign envoys together with him, and how their contact would develop feelings for each other, he suddenly became even more impatient to destroy the marriage between him and Mo Qian Yu.
Ji Hao Lin was still in a happy mood as he thought about it, but he didn't know that the Princess Le Chen in his mind was currently speaking about him in a low voice to Mo Wei Nong.
"I heard that this Ji Hao Lin is a Beijing's Most Beautiful Man. It's just that its appearance is too feminine. However, it's not as burly as my brother, who's even more unable to compare up to Flame King. " Princess Le Chen's father was a martial general, and his brother had followed him on the battlefield since he was young, training in the qi of a bastard, and was very valiant.
Princess Le Chen had always felt that it was a pity that he was a girl. His mother had taught his the etiquette of a noble family's daughter.
Does she look like she wants to gossip? When did the examination begin? She wanted to go home.
On the other hand, Mo Qian Zhu, who was standing beside her, was very excited when she heard Princess Le Chen take the initiative to chat. Seeing that Mo Wei Nong did not say a word, afraid that the princess would not come down, he quickly followed up, "Princess, have you seen Flame King?"
"Yes."
"How is the Flame King?"
"... "It's hard to guess." Princess Le Chen seemed to ponder for a moment before revealing his father's evaluation of him.
As she was thinking, the mama came out from the other side of the screen. Seeing that everyone was once again discussing in whispers, she couldn't help but furrow her brows and cough twice before saying, "Ladies, since we're all ready, the assessment has officially begun."
With that, she moved closer to the back of the screen and asked the Flame King for instructions. "Your Highness, please set the question."
Yuan Jin was already peeling the second orange, hearing this he laughed a little absent-mindedly. She was probably very impatient, as she was sometimes quite irritable.
He stuffed a clove of orange into his mouth and swallowed it. Then, he said in a low voice, "The first round will naturally depend on how you look like."
Yuan Jin, on the other hand, swallowed the second round of oranges. His smile became even more gentle, "Fan mama, get someone to bring them down there and wash their faces."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The mama stopped talking and went behind the screen.
The mama and Cen Si nodded, "Master Cen Si, what did the Prince say about the first round of examination?"
