Kapitel 483: Chapter 256 Special Gift_3

Yijin was thrilled to hear that his idol had become the head of the Grand Bachelor's Cabinet Elders. He silently resolved to learn from his idol and strive to be closer to him...

Lately, he had been feeling rather dejected. Qian Yishan was due to retire next spring, and Yijin believed his own learning was far superior to Qian Yishan's and wanted to have a try himself. However, Mr. Yu disagreed, saying he was not yet ready. Yijin believed he was not inferior; his calligraphy was much better than that of Li Zhandong, a paternal cousin who had been successful in the spring examinations to become a Scholar, and his knowledge was superior too.

A couple of days ago, he had confided his perplexity to Yixiu.

Knowing that Mr. Yu did not allow the young boy to enter the examinations further confirmed Yixiu's speculation that Yijin might indeed be Prince Ning's son. A Prince's son has no need for examinations.
