Yan Qianqian
After the three of them had all taken their seats, the Emperor began discussing with them the specific implementation methods and which people should be chosen to take responsibility for this matter, along with a series of other important issues.
Their discussion was extremely lively, with everyone actively expressing their own opinions and views; the entire Yudi was filled with sparks of intellectual collision.
Simultaneously, after leaving the Yudi, the Minister of Hubu rushed back to Hubu without stopping.
He knew full well that time was urgent and the household registration issue awaited resolution; thus, as soon as he returned to Hubu, he immediately instructed his subordinates to implement the relevant matters as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qianqian today was uncharacteristically not sleeping in. The reason was none other than the Spring Imperial Examination matter weighing on her mind.
Last night, she had already tossed and turned, unable to sleep because of the Spring Imperial Examination; this morning she woke up even earlier, full of anticipation that her father would bring her some news about the Spring Imperial Examination after court.
However, as time passed minute by minute, Qianqian never managed to wait for her father's return.
Her heart grew increasingly uneasy, and she began to wildly speculate: Could it be that the Spring Imperial Examination issue had never been resolved? Or had some other unforeseen event occurred? Various conjectures swirled in her mind, making her unable to sit or stand still.
Just like that, Qianqian kept pacing circles in her own Yuan Zi, anxiety following her like a shadow. It was not until near midday that An Wang finally returned home.
The moment An Wang stepped through the door, Mantou immediately went to report to Qianqian.
Upon hearing the news that her father had returned, Qianqian also instantly bolted toward An Wang's Yuan Zi like an arrow released from a bow.
Right at this moment, An Wang was standing in the Room, leisurely changing his Clothing. Meanwhile, Qianqian came running from Outside the door.
Just as she was about to burst into the Room, Yue Yi blocked her path. Qianqian looked at Yue Yi with a puzzled face, but before she could ask, Yue Yi spoke first: "Xiao Zhuzhu, Master is changing clothes right now."
Hearing this, Qianqian suddenly understood and hurriedly said: "Oh, then I'll wait." With that, she obediently stood in place, no longer moving about.
Not long after, An Wang finished changing, slowly pushed open the door, and walked out. His gaze swept casually and landed on Qianqian, who was boredly pacing circles Beside him.
An Wang helplessly rubbed his temples and said to Qianqian: "Stop pacing, you're giving me a headache."
Hearing her father's voice, Qianqian snapped back to her senses, hurriedly stopped pacing, walked up to An Wang with quick steps, affectionately took his arm, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Father, how did it go? How exactly did the Spring Imperial Examination matter turn out?"
An Wang naturally knew what Qianqian was asking about, and he had no intention of keeping her in suspense; he directly told her the result agreed upon in the Imperial Court today.
The two chatted about the matter as they walked toward Shantang; An Wang only gave the general outline, after all the distance from An Wang's Yuan Zi to the canteen was not long, and if he were to describe it in detail, he probably couldn't finish in a short while.
Since this matter was not classified, and the other people in the household had no great interest in these details either, An Wang had already finished saying everything that needed to be said by the time they reached Shantang.
Finally, they arrived at the Shantang entrance. Upon entering Shantang, a wave of food aroma rushed at them, instantly making one feel ravenous.
An Wang and Qianqian each walked to their own seats and sat down, beginning to enjoy this sumptuous lunch.
After the meal, Qianqian seemed somewhat impatient; she hurriedly got up and headed straight for where Luo Shun was.
For Qianqian, going to Luo Shun's place was already familiar territory; she went straight to Shufang without any hesitation.
Sure enough, as expected, when Qianqian pushed open the Shufang door, she saw Luo Shun leisurely lying on the small couch in Shufang, holding a book and reading it with great relish.
However, Qianqian's sudden intrusion clearly caught Luo Shun off guard; he sat up from the couch with a "whoosh" as if shocked by electricity.
You see, normally Servants would knock before entering; a situation like this where someone pushed the door and entered directly truly gave Luo Shun a huge fright. The book in his hand also fell to the ground due to this sudden scare.
Luo Shun stared in shock at the doorway, while Qianqian, the moment she pushed open the door, also saw Luo Shun's terrified appearance. She couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Ah, Brother Luo, I'm really sorry, I had an urgent matter, and in my haste I forgot to knock."
Luo Shun focused his gaze and discovered the visitor was actually Qianqian; the boulder in his heart instantly settled. He bent down to pick up the fallen book while asking with concern: "Qianqian, what urgent matter brings you in such a rush? Could it be related to the Spring Imperial Examination?"
Qianqian smiled faintly, revealing two shallow dimples, and replied coquettishly: "Brother Luo is indeed remarkably clever, guessing it in one go." She paused slightly, then continued: "The Spring Imperial Examination matter has been settled, so I rushed over to inform you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shun felt a surge of excitement in his heart; he stared wide-eyed and pressed urgently: "Oh? What is the result then?"
Seeing this, Qianqian's smile deepened; she caught her breath and said softly: "Huang Bobe has ordered Hubu, requiring them to complete the household registration matter within two months as quickly as possible. As for the Spring Imperial Examination, it will be postponed.
Once the household registration issue is resolved, Huang Bobe will dispatch special personnel to organize the children's examination and provincial examination in various locales, and finally hold the metropolitan examination in Kyoto. At that time, you only need to go to the registration point nearest you and take the exam on time."
After hearing Qianqian's words, the heart Luo Shun had been holding in suspense finally settled securely back in his belly. He was so excited he could not contain himself, and involuntarily stepped forward, wanting to give Qianqian a big hug.
However, just as his hand was about to touch Qianqian's shoulder, he suddenly realized that Qianqian was, after all, a woman, and such an action seemed somewhat improper.
Consequently, his hand froze in mid-air as if struck by a Ding Body Curse.
But he was only awkward for a second; then Luo Shun gripped the scroll in his right hand, rolled it up, and used it to lightly pat his left palm, while his body kept spinning in circles, muttering incessantly: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Qianqian Beside him smiled and chimed in: "Yes yes, this way you'll have enough time to prepare for the exam."
Luo Shun excitedly nodded in agreement: "I will definitely do my utmost to prepare!" His eyes were full of confidence and determination.
However, watching Luo Shun so excited, Qianqian suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness hit her. After all, she hadn't slept well last night, and had gotten up too early this morning; now she could barely hold on.
