“The assessment is divided into two parts. The first round will be a written test.”

“You may begin to answer the questions once you have your examination papers. After that, hand in the paper in 35 minutes.”

“After the papers are handed in, there will be someone to mark them on the spot. The top twenty would be retained and enter the next round of assessment. Those who fail will receive their rewards and leave.”

Eunuch Hu didn’t say anything more. He signaled for the guard to bring the water clock and start the timer.

Other than Lin Xiaoyue, almost no one paid attention to their surroundings. All of them had already started answering the questions.

Even the Sixth Princess was no exception.

Lin Xiaoyue was actually a little curious about the water clock. She was amazed at the wisdom of the ancient people. They actually came up with such a method of timing.

Emperor Yan saw this scene and frowned.

His impression of Lin Xiaoyue worsened once again.

Previously, he thought that the Imperial Advisor’s Residence recommending a woman to participate in the Arithmetic assessment was a little ridiculous.

Now that he saw her in person, he had some understanding.

But so what?

Selecting talents was a national affair, the Imperial Advisor was taking this too lightly.

Lin Xiaoyue suddenly felt that something was wrong. Then, she met Emperor Yan’s gaze.

Shocked, she quickly lowered her head.

Then, she didn’t dare to look at it anymore and took the test paper.

Emperor Yan, so this is what he looks like…

He did not look like Qing’er, but he did look a little similar to Prince Anyang.

Hmph, fortunately, he didn’t look like Qing’er. Otherwise, she would be disgusted!

Lin Xiaoyue quickly collected her thoughts and stopped thinking about it. She finally looked at the questions on the test paper.

Then, she picked up the brush and began to answer the questions.

None of the questions were difficult for Lin Xiaoyue.

The most difficult part was reading the questions.

After all, she was still not familiar with the words.

After about fifteen minutes, Lin Xiaoyue finished answering all the questions and checked them again.

However, when she looked up, she saw from the corner of her eye that the Sixth Princess on her left was still writing furiously on the paper, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

At the same time, on her right, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties was also calculating with a serious expression.

In the silence, she could even hear the sound of flipping pages coming from behind.

Lin Xiaoyue was a little confused.

So, she answered too fast?

Just as Lin Xiaoyue was in a daze, Emperor Yan noticed her again.

Seeing that everyone else was answering the questions seriously, but she did not seem to care, Emperor Yan’s anger rose again.

How could Lin Xiaoyue not sense such an obvious gaze?

After raising her head to face Emperor Yan again, Lin Xiaoyue quickly lowered her head again.

What was going on? Why did Emperor Yan keep looking at her like that?

Did he have a grudge against her?

Alright, strictly speaking, there was indeed enmity. However, this person probably didn’t know that her husband was from the Nangong family, right?

At this moment, Liu Wuji finally noticed the situation between Emperor Yan and Lin Xiaoyue.

Seeing Emperor Yan’s eyes staring at his granddaughter with extreme displeasure, and his granddaughter’s head was almost buried in the table, Liu Wuji also felt a sense of displeasure.

“You can hand in your paper in advance if you finish.” Liu Wuji suddenly said.

As soon as he said this, a soft voice came.

This test was so difficult and there were so many questions. It hadn’t been long since the exam started. Who could answer all the questions in such a short time?

Emperor Yan glanced at Liu Wuji.

He didn’t say anything.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue looked left and right.

She was hesitating if she should hand in her paper in advance.

When she thought about how Emperor Yan was looking at her dangerously and how she had already finished answering the questions and even checked them again, she felt bored sitting there.

She made up her mind and stood up.

Emperor Yan frowned and was about to berate her.

Then, he saw Lin Xiaoyue pick up the test paper after she got up.

Then, he walked forward.

A moment later, Lin Xiaoyue handed the test paper to Eunuch Dahu.

Then, under the instructions of the guard, she left the examination area.

After the shock, Emperor Yan’s gaze quickly turned into disdain.

Did she know that she would definitely not be able to pass the exam, so she was not even willing to stay until the end?

Liu Wuji looked at Lin Xiaoyue’s back as she left and smiled.

If one looked closely, one would find that there was some pride hidden within.

His granddaughter’s arithmetic ability was far beyond that of ordinary people. These questions were naturally not difficult for her..
