Song Ruqi returned to the private room and unsurprisingly received knowing and teasing glances from everyone, causing her cheeks to flush.
Song Ci teased her, "Qi'er is truly fortunate; this Qi San seems quite impressive to Grandmother."
Song Ruqi pouted, "Grandmother..."
Fortunately, Song Ci couldn't tease her for long because the results were being posted.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
No one knew who shouted excitedly from below.
Song Ci was also helped to the railing to watch the commotion. Sure enough, a civil official in formal attire, accompanied by two guards, brought out a sealed Imperial List, unrolled it, and pasted it on the wall.
As soon as it was posted, the people below went wild, surging forward to view the list.
"Ah, ah, ah, I made it, I made it! I'm ranked two hundred and ninety, I made it!"
"Awoo, awoo, awoo, I'm eighty-sixth, I made it too!"
"Brother Zhou, you're seventieth and I'm seventy-first, we both made it!"
