The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420: 212 Entering the Palace (Second More)

The mansion.

A list of candidates’ ranks from the Imperial Examination was delivered into the hands of Prime Minister Zhuang and Prince An.

Prime Minister Zhuang had already known the foremost two ranks. Apart from Prince An, there were no other prominent candidates from the Zhuang faction this time, so the list was set aside by him after it arrived.

Prince An didn’t look at it either.

He had absolute confidence that he would be the top scorer.

He only asked one question, “Is there a person named Xiao Liulang on the list?”

Wuyang said, “Yes, he tied for first place with you.”

“Oh?” Prince An pointedly glanced at the side.

Wuyang passed the list back to him.

Prince An’s gaze fell on Xiao Liulang’s name, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. “This Xiao Liulang is somewhat unexpected,” he commented nonchalantly.

Just as Wuyang was about to speak, a maid outside spoke, “Master, you’re here?”

Wuyang quickly retreated to the side to pay his respects to Prime Minister Zhuang as he walked in.

Prime Minister Zhuang waved his hand, and Wuyang respectfully withdrew.

Prince An stood up, greeted him with a smile, “Grandfather!”

“Hmm.” Prime Minister Zhuang responded in a deep voice.

Prince An walked around the desk and waited for Prime Minister Zhuang to sit down on the official’s chair before he took a seat on another chair below him.

A maid served tea, and then slipped out.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of Prime Minister Zhuang sipping his tea was audible.

Prince An asked, “Grandfather, why haven’t you rested so late?”

“I came to see you.” Prime Minister Zhuang set down the hot cup of tea in his hand, looked at him without a smile and said, “Have you seen the Imperial Examination list?”

“Hmm.” Prince An nodded, “Just a moment ago.”

Prime Minister Zhuang asked, “Is this Xiao Liulang a classmate of yours from the Guozijian?”
