Chapter 1208 - 279: Xie Yi Escapes_3
The Grand Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the rumors spreading outside and then summoned Princess Yong’an and Princess Xi Yun, bestowing numerous gifts on Princess Xi Yun as part of her dowry, to show her importance. When seeing Xiao Guangjing, she also mentioned that Princess Xi Yun must have dignity; other Commandery Princesses and Princesses were married to nobility, while Wendong only had his scholarship. Pei Qin and Mo Heng did not count as his family background.
Xiao Guangjing understood her meaning: with the spring examination approaching, he was to promote Pei Wendong in the exam.
When Xiao Guangmin met with him, they played chess without ever mentioning the matter. If his son-in-law truly had talents and learning, unless Xiao Guangjing was incompetent, he was sure to stand out!
As the warmth of the season crept in, both Tiance Mansion and the Pei Residence grew increasingly busy. There were too many things to prepare, none of them trivial, leaving no time for anything else.
The day of the spring examination swiftly arrived, with Pei Wendong, Chang Yonglin, and Fang Fu entering the arena.
After the three exams were over, the trio emerged from the examination hall as if they had been stripped of a layer of skin.
Pei Qin’s hope was simple: to attain scholarly honors. With that ladder, she trusted that the "Radishes" she and Mo Heng taught would prove useful and not disappoint anyone!
When the results came out, Pei Wendong’s name was at the top of the list, closely followed by Chang Yonglin. Although Fang Fu did not rank high, he was still on the list.
