This time in the exam, one in ten will be selected, which will determine the hundred Jinshi.

Those who are interested in taking the imperial examination can go and register.”

Upon hearing this news, many scholars in the venue couldn’t help but be happier, while those who were sad and miserable became even more so. Even the number of people crying increased.

Perhaps seeing too many people crying, the shouting officials and soldiers couldn’t help but comfort them: “Even if you didn’t pass the exam, it’s not a big deal. Next year the imperial examination will be held again, and everyone can participate.

If you didn’t pass the first time, try a few more times, and you’ll surely pass eventually. There’s no need to be too sad.”

Upon hearing this, the scholars of Changsha felt much better.

Indeed.

If they didn’t pass this time, it was no big deal, and they could try again next year.

However, it was even more bitter for the scholars from Ninghai and Southsea.

In their country, the military was in power, and it was not only difficult to become an official, but it was even a question whether there would be imperial examinations in the coming years.

And they traveled thousands of miles to attend the examinations in Changsha, which took them two to three months round trip.

The expenses for food, accommodation, and traveling were not cheap.

Many people wouldn’t be able to take the exam again without a few years to recover.

Thinking of this, some resolute individuals suddenly yelled out, “Forget it! I might as well not go back. Starting now, I’ll live in Changsha. I don’t believe I won’t pass next year’s imperial examination.”

“You’re right. I think there are plenty of job opportunities in Changsha, where things are just beginning to develop. At the very worst, we can live here and find a job while preparing for the exam on the side.

This time, we came all the way here and didn’t even manage to score half a decent achievement.

To return home in disgrace would be too humiliating to face our hometown.”

If we don’t pass the Juren exam, we won’t leave.”

“Exactly! Exactly! If we don’t become Juren, we won’t leave.”

“Let’s all stay together!”

Inside the examination venue, many of the unsuccessful exam candidates started encouraging each other.

Inspired by their determination, some of the previously dispirited cheered up as well.

Particularly some of the would-be returnees who were now infected by their enthusiasm began to seriously consider whether or not to stay.”

After all, from what they have seen and heard in this period of time, Changsha is indeed stronger than Ninghai and Southsea in all aspects.”

If they stay here, even if they only help others write letters for a living, there won’t be as much competition.”

Both making money and the pressure of life will be much easier.”

As their minds were changing, Lu Yuan, who was walking with Lan Cai’er in the Royal Palace garden, suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked into the distance.”

“What’s wrong, Your Majesty?” Lan Cai’er noticed something off about her companion and turned to ask curiously.”

“Nothing. I just suddenly feel much better.”

Lu Yuan turned back and looked at his future queen before teasing, “Perhaps it’s because of being with you, my lady.”

“Your Majesty.” Lan Cai’er’s face reddened, and she became slightly displeased.”

“Hahaha!” Lu Yuan laughed heartily and spontaneously embraced Lan Cai’er as his spirits lifted.”

Of course, the reason for Lu Yuan’s halt wasn’t his claimed cause, Lan Cai’er. Although being with her did indeed cheer him up.”

What really caught Lu Yuan’s attention was the sudden influx of Qi Luck from his practice of the Way of Taiping.”

The Qi Luck gathered around him surged significantly, drawing his attention.”

‘It looks like the source of this Qi Luck is coming from the southern barracks, which, if I recall correctly, is where the exam venue is located.

That’s right, today is the results announcement day.

It seems that after this examination, I’ve gathered a lot of people’s Qi Luck. Many examinees have already become attached to me.’

To gather people’s Qi Luck, Lu Yuan either had to directly rule over people or have them sincerely admire him.”

As a large number of scholars in the exam venue were foreigners not under his rule, any Qi Luck from there meant that someone regarded him as their true ruler and began to devote themselves to him.”

Looking at the amount of Qi Luck he gathered, there must be at least two to three thousand people who had devoted themselves to him this time.”

With one examination, so many people’s hearts were gathered. How could this not make him happy?

Thus, Lu Yuan and his soon-to-be queen enjoyed themselves even more as they continued their walk in the garden.
