?Chapter 317: Chapter 313 San Yuan Ji Di Chapter 317: Chapter 313 San Yuan Ji Di The day the Metropolitan Exams released their rankings, Ruo Shan entered the palace to participate in the Palace Examination.
Ruo Shan had never entered the palace before, but the Ruo brothers bore a striking resemblance to one another, and when the Emperor asked for his name and heard the extremely rare surname Ruo, he inquired, “What is your relation to Princess Wuyou?”
Ruo Shan clasped his hands in a salute and replied, “Your humble subject is the fifth uncle of Princess Wuyou.”
The Emperor then laughed, “I knew you must be related to Princess Wuyou. The results of the Metropolitan Exams came out today. You came to the palace early in the morning and must not yet know that this time, Ruo Shui has obtained the first rank, while Ruo Jiang has secured the second. Each brother in your Ruo Family possesses exceptional talent and learning; truly the pillars of the state!”
This tone was as informal as casual conversation, and the Imperial Physicians listened in great astonishment.
When had the Emperor ever been so amiable and cheerful with someone?
“We have reviewed the articles of the two, and their literary grace is outstanding, their insights unique, and their learning profound! The officials grading the exams found it difficult to decide who should be the top scholar, so I made the final decision. Ruo Shui has indeed achieved the rare feat of ‘Zhuangyuan’ for the third time, a talent not seen in many Imperial Examinations. Is it true that each brother in your Ruo Family excels in both literature and martial arts?”
The Emperor favored Ruo Shui’s incisive writing, which was why he designated Ruo Shui as first.
Upon learning that his two older brothers had obtained the first and second ranks, Ruo Shan felt joy in his heart, yet he humbly said, “Your humble subject’s elder brothers possess exceptional knowledge and excel in both literary and martial skills. I dare not compare with them; I merely have a rudimentary understanding of the Qi and Huang Technique and practice martial arts merely for the sake of keeping the body strong and healthy.”
