The two were in perfect harmony, a tacit understanding that was unprecedented, Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue laughed heartily below the arena.
"Emperor, those two are simply too presumptuous!"
Empress Feng was furious.
"Although they were a bit heavy-handed, indeed, neither of them has violated the rules. It's a pity about Zhang Zhiqing, such a talent. Give her family some consolation money, take her away."
Emperor Longteng saw that things had come to this and had no intention of reprimanding them.
One Murong Ziyue, one Xin Lin, both ranking first and second in the literary and martial exams, it was clear that they were both accomplished in both arts and combat.
Not to mention that this Imperial Examination led to Emperor Longteng acknowledging a son, and Chu Beiqing finding a daughter.
With such outcomes, Emperor Longteng was quite satisfied.
