Liu Huan was stunned. The registration for the Ming Classic examination had already closed by the end of last year, and now adding a slot indeed required someone like the Emperor to speak up. But...
He hadn't planned to sit for the Ming Classic exam this year!
Even if he keeps failing the imperial exam and ultimately has to go for the Ming Classic, that would be at least two years, no, maybe a year later?
There's just over a month left before the exam, and he has spent nearly a year traveling outside. Although Mr. Zhuang frequently quizzes him and assigns some coursework, and they all recite books for fun during boring rides, yet...
There's still a gap compared to students who sit in a classroom and study earnestly, right?
Liu Huan felt pained and wanted to express that he didn't want this reward, but when he looked up into the Emperor's eyes, he could only hold back his tears and accept.
