The emperor smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you came at the right time. Come and give the Prime Minister a seat."

Xie Suzhi was dusty and dusty, and his clothes were still stained by autumn dew. It was obvious that he didn't even have time to go home and change clothes.

He sat at the table where the powerful ministers were seated, together with Taifu, General Chen and others.

Then, Xie Suzhi looked at Shen Ningning. The little guy was even more excited. He almost couldn't sit still and wanted to jump down and call daddy.

However, Xie Suzhi just nodded slightly towards her, smiled lightly, and then looked away.

Shen Ningning suddenly came to her senses.

No, her father doesn't know her identity yet. She can't act rude and make her father think she is an unruly child.

Thinking of this, the little guy sat upright and behaved appropriately.

There was a serious expression on her pink little face.

She took the eunuch's gift list, bowed her head slightly, and thanked the emperor and the prince.

Immediately afterwards, the congratulatory gifts presented by the guests were delivered to the long table beside her by the eunuchs like flowing water.

The little guy thanked everyone in a polite manner.

During this period, Concubine Rong always looked at her with a gentle smile.

The emperor said: "Ning Ning, from now on, you will be the princess recorded in the ultimatum of our Cangyun Kingdom. Thousands of years later, the world will still see your name on our bamboo slips and books."

"Now the emperor uncle needs you to take three sticks of incense, one to the ancestors of Cangyun Kingdom, one to heaven and earth, and the other one to the Rain Goddess."

Shen Ningning nodded obediently: "Okay."

The Imperial Master came forward with Qin Tianjian and several senior monks from the National Temple, and the senior monks held the tablet of the founding emperor of Cangyun Kingdom.

On weekdays, the tablets are enshrined at the highest point of the pagoda in the national temple and are filled with incense. Now that the princess was enthroned, the emperor Taizu was invited down.

Everyone was amazed, and they whispered in low voices——

"Your Majesty is really fond of your house and loves your highness the Crown Prince. Even Princess Funing is so fond of you."

"Who says it's not the case? I think it won't be difficult for Princess Funing to canonize her as a princess in the near future."

Shen Ningning held a stick of incense, kowtowed to the Emperor Taizu, and then paid tribute.

Then, under the guidance of the Imperial Master, she kowtowed to the heaven and the earth. Her small body knelt down and stood up repeatedly. There was a little dust on her fair forehead, but she was not impatient at all.

By the time the last step was to offer incense to the Rain Goddess, Shen Ningning had already kowtowed and was about to insert the incense into the altar.

She put her little hand in, and suddenly she let out a painful cry: "Hiss!"

The little guy quickly retracted his hand.

Mo Lingwei suddenly stood up and walked towards her: "What's wrong?"

All the guests present were looking forward to it.

Mo Lingwei held Shen Ningning's little hand and saw a red spot on her fingertips burned by the falling incense ash.

Shen Ningning blew twice and endured the pain and forced out a smile: "Brother, I'm fine. I was too careless just now."

The emperor hurriedly asked: "Do you need the imperial doctor to prescribe some plaster?"

Shen Ningning shook her head: "It doesn't matter to me, uncle emperor."

Mo Lingwei confirmed that Shen Ningning was okay, then took her little hand and returned to her position.

In this way, he did not forget to complain to the emperor in a cold voice: "Why does the emperor have to burn three sticks of incense here to worship the gods? Normally, the canonization is done in the Ancestral Temple."

The emperor smiled: "Don't I want everyone to see Ningning being conferred? I also want to express my love for her."

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips, looked at Shen Ningning and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, brother!" the little guy said with a sweet smile.

She glanced at Prime Minister Xie Suzhi secretly from the corner of her eye, and saw that he was sipping tea with his head down, seemingly not paying attention to her at all.

The little guy puffed up his cheeks and reassured himself that it was okay.

Daddy doesn’t know yet that she is his daughter!

After all the things were removed, the emperor said again: "Taking advantage of this auspicious day, I would like to announce another happy event. I heard that the results of the examination of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have come out."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Yuanjiu, who had always felt a little boring, immediately raised his head.

Emperor: "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, please read out in front of everyone the list of the top three candidates who have successfully passed the examination of the National Academy of Chinese Studies."

"Yes." The Minister of Rites was already prepared. He walked up and down in front of everyone and took out the roll of orders from his sleeve.

All the young men and ladies present who went to take the exam could not help but prick up their ears and look forward to it.

Entering a Chinese university is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Sometimes even the powerful and powerful cannot get in. Who will be the three people who get admitted this time?

The ladies around Xie Yuanjiu are already complimenting her——

"There must be Fourth Sister Xie."

"Maybe he will still be ranked first in Class A."

Xie Yuanjiu smiled lightly, dignifiedly and generously: "Okay, even if it is true, don't publicize it for me. I still like to keep a low profile."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Minister of Rites said: "The first place in the Grade A examination: Shen Ningning."

The whole audience was surprised.

Shen Ningning reacted, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

Very good!

She passed the exam and gave an explanation to the crazy scholar.

Mo Lingwei took the lead in applauding, followed by Lu Shaoyuan and Xie Mingxu, and the scene suddenly became heated.

"Princess Funing? All good things have happened to her!"

"As soon as I saw this little girl, she was very smart. She is amazing!" the old lady sitting next to Xie Suzhi said with a smile.

General Chen nodded: "To come up with the idea of ​​leading a pack of wolves to rescue the refugees, he is not an ordinary child, he is indeed smart."

Xie Suzhi said nothing and just drank cup after cup of tea.

At this time, the lady beside Xie Yuanjiu quickly comforted her: "Her first place may be fake. You will know how much the emperor loves her."

"It doesn't matter, Sister Xie, there is no shame in second or third place."

Xie Yuanjiu's face even lost the smile.

The Minister of Rites announced the remaining two: "The second place in the second class is Xu Jingxi; the third place in the third class is Lu Shaoyuan."

Lu Shaoyuan jumped up in surprise: "Okay! That's great. It's not in vain that I read with a lantern every day and broke six Hu pens!"

After all his efforts, he and Shen Ningning were finally able to go to school together again!

Commander Lu pressed him down and said with a smile: "Okay, don't get too carried away."

Xu Jingxi, who is second in the second class, comes from a poor family, so he was not invited to the canonization ceremony, but the good news will be delivered to his home soon.

Everyone congratulated each other and said auspicious words.

Only Xie Yuanjiu's side was lifeless, and the ladies who had complimented her just now lowered their heads and said nothing, which was extremely embarrassing.

It's too late to praise him. Who would have thought that Xie Yuanjiu, who usually seems to be extremely talented, didn't even get into the top three of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After a while, Xie Yuanjiu took the initiative to smile and broke everyone's silence: "Principal Funing did really well in the exam. Let's go and congratulate him later."

Only then did the ladies smile and agree: "Okay, that's for sure."

Shen Ningning was very excited now, and her pink and white face was filled with joy.

Relying on her own hard work, she got the first place in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and she is also the princess!

In this way, when she recognizes her father later, she can openly tell him that although she has lived alone these years, she has not embarrassed him.

Mo Lingwei saw that it was almost time and was about to ask the emperor to help Shen Ningning recognize her relatives.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Xie Suzhi was one step ahead of him, stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty, since everyone is here today, I would also like to ask you to give me a favor."

The emperor immediately became interested: "Oh? Tell me quickly, what's the good thing?"

Concubine Rong looked towards Xie Suzhi.

Everyone only heard Xie Su say: "I have found the whereabouts of my biological daughter."

Like a drop of water falling into a hot pan of oil, everyone was shocked.

Prime Minister Xie's daughter has been missing for so many years and has been found? Who could it be? How lucky!

Xie Mingxu looked at Shen Ningning calmly, but saw the little guy looking at Prime Minister Xie hopefully.

The emperor became happy: "Seriously? Where is she now?"
