บท 366: Chapter 346: Invitation (Second Update)

The hustle and bustle filled the East Fourth Hutong, while in other major residences, there was a mix of joy and worry.

The Rui'an Queen was extremely pleased, rewarding the whole residence. She didn't expect her son to bring her such honor by being listed, although not at a high rank, it still brought her immense joy.

Upon inquiring from a servant and learning that Xie Lin had gone to East Fourth Hutong with Su Xingze and others, she prepared a gift and sent it there.

Inside the palace, due to the case of the precious concubine, there was not much joyous atmosphere on this happy occasion of the announcement of successful candidates for the examination, as the emperor was ill.

In the Duke Residence, the old duke had not expected Zhou Gu to win the first place together with Su Xingze. He had read the papers written by Zhou Gu and Su Xingze, and after pondering for a while, he felt that the two truly deserved this ranking, and it was indeed difficult to judge who was superior.
