When everyone saw it, they all stretched their heads to look at the copied list, and the first thing they looked at was definitely the name ranked first.
As expected, the first person in the women's department all had the same name: Zhu Aao.
"Huh?" Xia Huiji said in surprise when she saw it, "Sister, isn't your name right?"
Hearing this, Xia Wanchun couldn't help but turn his head and glance at her: Why are you so stupid? How can any girl be called the right girl? Now this is her real name!
Zhu Yuluo naturally saw it clearly, and was immediately surprised and said: "What's going on? I'm going to ask why I was put on the list again?"
After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave.
When Zhu Cihong saw it, he stood up and said, "Let's go together, I want to hear it too. Otherwise, why did you let you take the scientific examination alone in the first place?"
It has never happened before for princes and princesses to participate in scientific examinations. For this group of young people, it is a rare and fun thing.
Although Zhu Cixiang was the prince and under the guidance of Empress Zhou, it was impossible for him to take the scientific examination. However, there were other younger brothers and sisters who actually had their opinions. Therefore, Zhu Cixiang wanted to hear the reason why he was allowed to take the scientific examination.
The father changed his mind and put Zhu Yu's name on the list. Wouldn't this let everyone in the world know that Princess Kunxing also participated in the scientific examination!
Seeing them both standing up, seemingly about to go back, Xia Wanchun immediately became anxious and quickly asked Zhu Aona: "Um... can we discuss the study of things together in the future?"
The reason why the two of them discussed it together before was to prepare for the special scientific examination of Gewu.
Now that the exam is over, there is no such reason, which makes Xia Wanchun a little anxious, especially since he will never see Zhu Ailao again.
When Xia Huiji heard this, she rolled her eyes and said to Zhu Aao: "Yes, sister, I feel so close to you as soon as I see you. Will I not be able to see you again in the future?"
When Zhu Yurao heard what they said, she glanced at Xia Wanchun, her face turned a little red, and then she turned to look at his brother.
When Zhu Cixiang saw this, he immediately laughed, then looked at Xia Wanchun and asked, "You really like my sister, do you want to study gewu studies with my sister?"
Such a straightforward question made Xia Wanchun blush. But he was a smart man and knew that this answer was very important.
So, he looked at Zhu Yuluo, then nodded seriously and said, "Yes."
You can tell from his tone that he is very determined.
Hearing this, Zhu Cixiang immediately smiled, and then said to Xia Wanchun: "Okay, then you wait for the news!"
After saying that, he strode out.
Zhu Yuyao took a deep look at Xia Wanchun, with a hint of shyness on her face, but said nothing and followed his brother.
Seeing this, Xia Wanchun couldn't help but become anxious. Just this sentence, what else is there?
Seeing that Zhu Yuluo and Zhu Cixi were about to leave the private room, he became anxious and asked quickly: "Where is the house? Xiaosheng will come to visit another day!"
As long as he knows where he lives, this matter will be easier to handle. Even if Zhu Yura doesn't come to him, he can still go to Zhu Yura. Well, let the eldest sister or the younger sister take him there.
Zhu Cixiang did not stop when he heard the question. He just answered as he walked: "In the palace!"
After saying that, he and Zhu Yuyao had already walked out of the private room and disappeared from the sight of everyone inside.
Xia Wanchun couldn't understand what he heard, and immediately became anxious and asked quickly: "Which street is it from? What's the house number?"
As soon as he said this, several maids who were following him out suddenly bumped into each other.
Afterwards, several maids quickly stabilized themselves and hurried out.
But the last maid, the one who had been following Zhu Yuluo in the past few days, turned back with a smile on her face and whispered to Xia Wanchun: "Idiot, the palace is the palace, which other street can there be?"
After saying that, she no longer cared about the people inside and hurried out.
Upon hearing this, the businessman Xia Wanchun who was left inside was suddenly struck by lightning and was stunned.
This time, all three of them came to their senses.
The palace is the palace, where else could it be?
In other words, Zhu Yurao and Zhu Cixiang were people in the Forbidden City.
They look like this, they are definitely neither palace maids nor chamberlains, so there is only one possibility: they must be the prince and princess!
When I think that Zhu Yuluo is the princess and Zhu Cixiang is the prince, the three of them are so dumbfounded!
Valley
Even if they judged from Zhu Yura's usual words, deeds, and entourage, etc., they felt that Zhu Yura must be rich or noble, but they never thought that Zhu Yura would be a princess!
I don’t know how long it took, but Xia Shuji, the oldest and most experienced person, came to her senses first, and immediately murmured to herself: "No wonder, no wonder, I see, I see, that makes sense!"
At this point, she speculated based on the existing information: "Since she is a princess, then according to her age, she should be Princess Kunxing, yes, she should be Princess Kunxing!"
If the children of Emperor Chongzhen were granted a title, they would naturally be announced to the world. However, they would not be announced to the world so that everyone in the world would know the name of the princess.
After hearing her guess, Xia Huiji came to her senses and immediately asked her eldest sister: "Who is Princess Kunxing's brother?"
Princess Kunxing has a title, so the prince who is older than Princess Kunxing must also have a title.
Hearing her question, Xia Shuji just thought about it and was shocked. She stuttered a little and said, "Yes... it's the prince!"
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Xia Wanchun and Xia Huiji were dumbfounded and a little in disbelief, "Isn't it possible?"
You know, if the prince may not be very noble, then the prince is definitely one of the most noble people in the world. This is the future Emperor of Ming Dynasty!
Seeing the expressions of her younger siblings, Xia Shuji said with certainty: "Princess Kunxing has only one older brother, the prince!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Xia Wanchun and Xia Huiji were stunned again.
The person who was talking to me just now was actually His Highness the Crown Prince!
Several people in the Ming Dynasty were lucky enough to meet the prince, and they actually met him and even sat together and chatted!
Thinking about it this way, it feels very unreal!
By the way, there is also Princess Kunxing, who has been discussing the knowledge of physics with them these past few days. Now that I think about it, it is also very unreal!
……………………
Not to mention how surprised the three of them were, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Ayao returned to the palace and soon met Emperor Chongzhen who was handling government affairs.
"Come back?" Emperor Chongzhen saw the two people entering the palace, looked at Zhu A'ao, and said with a smile, "You girl, you are really posing a problem for me!"
As soon as she asked for a meeting, she was summoned. Zhu Yuyao knew that her father had something to say. When she heard this, she smiled mischievously, and then asked: "Then why did the father let his daughter be on the list?"
Zhu Cixi didn't dare to speak at the side, so he just listened.
Because he knows that his father has stricter requirements on him, and he is more doting on his sister and is easy to talk to.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and pointed at Zhu Yulao, and then replied: "After passing the special examination of gewu, I will not give any official salary, but only the qualification to enter the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy of Sciences. Including you, the number one scholar.
, it just has such a name, and has no actual benefits. If this is the case, then why can’t my daughter’s actual results be announced?”
After Zhu Cihong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.
This special examination on geophysics is indeed different from the ordinary imperial examination. In doing so, my father did not conflict with the previous practice.
The matter of the clan participating in the imperial examination is actually very sensitive. In the past, it was definitely not allowed.
However, with the huge population of clans, the imperial court was unable to pay so much salary, so that some clans with low-level titles were completely burdened by clan relationships, and their lives were worse than ordinary people.
Because the lower-level clan members did not have much money and were not allowed to do anything. The court did not pay them salaries, so they would have to starve to death except for begging.
Therefore, starting from Jiajing, in order to change the situation of the clan, and also because the court could not afford the salary, the clan policy was changed, allowing lower-level clan members to participate in the imperial examination and become officials. They also opened their eyes to doing business and working to make money.
One eye is closed.
However, these are only clans with low-level titles. High-level clans such as vassal kings, county princes, etc. still have many restrictions. They cannot lead troops to fight, nor can they participate in the imperial examinations and serve as officials.
The level of princes and princesses is the same as that of vassal kings. It is absolutely not allowed to participate in ordinary imperial examinations, at least it is not allowed by the current Ming Dynasty laws.
However, there is no such restriction when the study of physics turns to scientific examination. This can also be seen in the treatment after passing the scientific examination, which can also leave people speechless.
At this time, Zhu Cixiang was thinking about the relationship, but Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Moreover, I announced you on the list, which just happened to explain to the world that if you want to enter the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences for further study, even if you are my
Daughters, as well as sons, must pass the special examination in the study of physical studies! In this way, it can also reflect the meaning of justice!"
Princes and daughters are like this, not to mention civil and military officials. If you want to enter the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty, you must take the special examination on geophysics!
However, Emperor Chongzhen had this idea entirely because he remembered what Liu Weichao said about the college entrance examination in later generations. After passing the college entrance examination, he would go to university and then pursue an undergraduate degree, a graduate degree, a doctorate, etc. It seemed to be the same truth.
Therefore, with an idea, Emperor Chongzhen decided to let Zhu Aona be on the list as it was.
After talking about this matter, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something and asked Zhu Yurao: "You are now quite old, so your marriage cannot be postponed any longer. The special scientific examination on geophysics has also ended, but is there anyone you like? If not, then I will
