The ministers who had been there all along exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with amusement. In the past, the Ninth Princess had always feasted on their gossip. Now it was someone else's turn, and they could enjoy the show without a care. Hahahaha...
Meanwhile, some of those attending the Palace Examination found that voice strangely familiar.
Once the candidates had entered, Jiang Yunsheng first tested them on material resembling eight-legged essays.
Jiang Nuan had little interest in any of it, but naturally, anyone who had made it this far knew the material inside out. Almost all of them answered clearly and logically.
One candidate gave such outstanding answers that even Jiang Nuan, who had barely been listening, noticed him.
[Guagua, who is he? I've decided. I want the gossip on him.]
Feeling as though she had stepped into a whole melon patch of gossip, Jiang Nuan had been agonizing over whose to sample first. Now, she instantly settled on her first target.
[All right, Host. Let me check his gossip.]
After answering, Guagua began looking into his gossip.
[Host, let me tell you, he's Xia Gaoyang, the top scorer in this Spring Examination. His gossip is so interesting. You'll never guess it, hahahaha.]
After finishing, Guagua spoke with a laugh.
[Host, listen to this. He's the youngest son of Xia Quanqiao, the General of the Agile Cavalry.]
At those words, Xia Quanqiao, who had been standing quietly to one side, abruptly raised his head and looked at Xia Gaoyang, only to discover that his face was equally shocked.
[Huh? Wasn't he a scholar from Jiangnan? How could he be General Xia's son? Isn't General Xia's family from Capital City?]
Jiang Nuan asked in confusion.
*[To explain that, we have to go back to a rainy day sixteen years ago.
