Chapter 156: Ancient Farmers' Son (13)
The days of preparing for the exam were fulfilling yet boring.
Thanks to Young Master Sun’s favor, Lin Shiheng moved into the upper floor room, and the inn would prepare everything for his meals. The coachman would also do his best to think of ways to serve him.
The day of the exam came quickly. Following the process, he entered the examination room. Before the formal start of the exam, people around whispered to each other.
“Did you hear? The Crown Prince is also here as an invigilator.”
“Isn’t it said that the Crown Prince doesn’t involve himself in politics?”
“Brother Zhao is confused. That is indeed the Crown Prince. How could he be compared to other princes?”
The current Crown Prince was 15 years old. Before his birth, His Majesty had been delaying the announcement, so when he finally had his first son, he was overjoyed and immediately declared him the Crown Prince.
If only he were the only child, it would be better. Unfortunately, ever since the birth of the Crown Prince, the curse of infertility in the imperial harem seemed to have been automatically lifted. One prince or princess after another emerged, all of them not much younger than the Crown Prince.
With so many children, the Emperor no longer doted on the Crown Prince as much as before, and the situation of the Crown Prince with a large group of younger brothers and sisters became awkward.
