“He believed that his actions were flawless,” Su Bin remarked with a darkening expression.
Qin Zhenzhen quickly inquired, “Have you already shared this secret with the
Third Prince and the Emperor?”
Su Bin nodded resolutely. “We must inform them.”
“However, the Crown Prince’s advisors are undoubtedly formidable. They will likely have strategies in place.”
“In the end, it will hinge on the Emperor’s stance.”
Su Bin felt a wave of frustration wash over him when he contemplated the uncertain outco.
“Therefore, even if I secure a spot on the Golden List this ti, it’s far from guaranteed that my ranking will be at the top.”
“I shouldn’t aspire to be the Primus.”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled warmly and offered her support. “I truly believe you will rank at the top. You might even claim the title of Primus.”
Despite the nurous plot changes, as a key supporting character, the storyline involving Su Bin’s attainnt of the middle Primus position should remain unchanged.
Qin Zhenzhen’s words lifted Su Bin’s spirits, and he grinned mischievously. “If I do beco the Primus, what kind of reward are you prepared to offer ?”
In response, Qin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes playfully. “How juvenile! What reward would you like? A candy bar, a kiss, or a hug?l can give you all that now”
Su Bin seized the opportunity and kissed her on the lips. “None of those are sufficient. I want sothing more, sothing extra special!”
“The title of the Golden List is ‘Small Degree,’ while the bridal chamber is a ‘Big
Degree,”‘ Su Bin playfully remarked. “I want double happiness!”
Qin Zhenzhen blushed and chided him, “Why are you so shaless?”
“It’s clear that the bridal chamber is larger. Aren’t you shaless for reading it the other way around?”
“If your classmates ever find out, they’ll tease you endlessly!”
Su Bin couldn’t help but chuckle at her response. “If they knew, they’d only envy for finally having a beauty to share a bed with!”
“However, we absolutely mustn’t disclose this to anyone else. Only the two of us should know.”
Otherwise, their secret would be exposed.
The mont for announcing the rankings had arrived.
The procedure for releasing rankings in the capital examination differed from that of county and local examinations.
Before the red list was unveiled, there was a unique segnt involving singing. The nas of every candidate on the rankings were lodiously sung aloud, allowing everyone in the capital to hear them.
This tradition served the dual purpose of informing the examinees who had remained in the capital about their rankings imdiately and making the results widely known.
This year, a total of 150 scholars were selected in the capital examination, including thirty fellow scholars.
Candidates who achieved the sa scholarship were ineligible to participate in future capital examinations. Instead, they were given the opportunity to secure official positions, often serving as county magistrates in remote regions.
The lowest official position at this level was the seventh-grade sesa official, a term frequently ntioned in operas. So individuals would opt to remain in the capital and start from this modest seventh-grade position.
However, those with connections and influential backers could ascend the ranks swiftly, even from a seventh-grade position.
The singing chart comnced from the lowest position, and from early morning, all the examinees strained to catch the sounds emanating from the palace, fearful of missing their mont to hear their own nas.
The resonance of gongs and drums finally echoed through the streets of the capital, accompanied by the vigorous cries of strong n.
“Huang Yulin, hailing from Huang Family Village in Cannabis Town, Tongling County, ranked 150th. Gifted with the background of a scholar!”
Huang Yulin’s heart leaped with surprise and joy upon hearing his na. However, a tinge of regret shadowed his expression. He was pleased to have finally secured a place on the rankings, validating his ten years of diligent effort.
Yet, he couldn’t help but wonder how he had ended up in the last position. His self-confidence following the exam had been relatively high. Unfortunately, this marked the conclusion of his career journey.
If he were to be dispatched to a remote region and beco a seventh-grade sesa official, ascending the ranks would be an arduous endeavor..
