"But it's understandable …" The chief steward recalled Feng Wu's mother, the most beautiful woman in the world. With a mother as beautiful as her, how could her daughter not be?
In the imperial palace.
Emperor Wu called out to Grand Secretary Fang as soon as he saw him.
"Come here. Help me look at these papers and see if there's anyone with potential."
Grand Secretary Fang smiled. "Your Majesty, Yu Mingye is taking the exam this year as well."
He was right.
Now that the Yu family had split off and formed an empire, Yu Mingye had been living a good life in the imperial capital.
Emperor Wu said, "Tear off the paper and show me Yu Mingye's paper."
Soon, Grand Secretary Fang found Yu Mingye's paper and handed it to Emperor Wu with both hands.
Emperor Wu nodded as he read the paper. "Not bad. That kid looks so energetic, but I didn't expect him to be so good at writing. Look, he didn't get any of the memorized questions right."
Emperor Wu didn't know what to say, and Grand Secretary Fang chuckled.
"His Royal Highness just didn't want to memorize them. He has a photographic memory," Grand Secretary Fang said with a smile.
Emperor Wu nodded. "He didn't want to take the exam. If he had, he wouldn't have gotten this score."
Shaking his head, Emperor Wu put Yu Mingye's paper aside and asked, "Where's the girl's paper?"
After all, writing it down from memory wasn't the same as answering it in the exam.
While Emperor Wu was reading Yu Mingye's paper, Grand Secretary Fang and the chief steward had been looking for Feng Wu's paper, but they couldn't find it.
Grand Secretary Fang said in a hurry, "Your Majesty, please wait. We'll find it soon."
Emperor Wu wasn't in a hurry. He went back to reading Yu Mingye's paper and smiled as he read.
What an idiot. This was such an important exam and he was acting like he was playing a game. Didn't he know how to fill in the blanks?
It was one thing to leave blank when you didn't know how to fill in the blanks. But how could you leave multiple choice questions blank as well? Even if it was a blind guess, you could still do it. The more Emperor Wu read, the happier he was.
However, Grand Secretary Fang and the chief steward looked at each other and saw resignation in each other's eyes.
"I've looked everywhere. I can't find it."
"I've already searched the house, but there's nothing."
The two of them looked at each other.
Grand Secretary Fang wouldn't believe it. Splitting the thick paper in half, he said, "You take half and I'll take the other half. Let's check it again."
How could he fail with such a good paper? That was a full marks exam!
Grand Secretary Fang and the chief steward took 500 each and flipped through the pages.
Feng Wu's handwriting was so beautiful that anyone who saw it would recognize it right away.
This time, Grand Secretary Fang and the chief steward flipped through the pages one by one, fearing that they might miss something. However, when they reached the last page —
No, there was actually no such thing!
Grand Secretary Fang's face darkened!
The chief also felt that something was wrong.
His Majesty had read the exam paper that Grand Secretary Fang had brought in, and so had the chief steward. Both His Majesty and Grand Secretary Fang had praised Miss Feng Wu so much that she almost flew into the air.
On the other side, Emperor Wu was done laughing. He yelled as he looked at the exam paper, "Hurry up! Give me Feng Wu's paper and let me wash my eyes. Yu's paper is a joke!"
"Your Majesty —" Grand Secretary Fang gave Emperor Wu a strange look.
