The Emperor quickly walked past Xiao Liulang and took a seat at the front.
Other proctors knew that the emperor had taken notice of a certain candidate, but they weren't sure whether it was for good or bad reasons.
After the Emperor settled in the proctor's seat, he didn't pay much attention to Xiao Liulang anymore. After all, it was too far to see clearly.
He ordered someone to bring his court memorials. He solemnly oversaw the examination while silently reviewing the memorials until the end of the examination.
The candidates stood up and paid respects to the Emperor. He randomly selected and questioned a few. Both the grandson of Prince An and Premier Yuan were chosen.
Xiao Liulang was not chosen.
At You Shi's third quarter, everyone left the Imperial Palace.
It was only one day of examination, yet everyone felt more exhausted than they had in the preliminary rounds, mentally exhausted.
