As soon as she left the bamboo garden and noticed that there was no one around, Lin Xiaoyue stretched.

Then, she felt even more sleepy. She quickened her pace and walked towards the plum garden where she stayed.

Fortunately, the plum garden was not far from the bamboo garden.

After entering the plum garden, Lin Xiaoyue returned to her room and went to bed.

She didn’t even reply to Zhao Shanshan halfway through.

Zhao Shanshan sighed when she saw how sleepy her Miss was. She did not ask any more questions and left the room to let her Miss sleep.

After lying down, Lin Xiaoyue quickly fell asleep.

When hse woke up, it was already an hour later.

Because she was too sleepy, she didn’t even have a dream.

Her mind went blank for a moment. Then, Lin Xiaoyue suddenly turned over and got off the bed.

Oh no, she had slept for so long. Had they already started to choose the topic?

It was all Li Xiao’s fault. He was talking to her last night, causing her to be tired.

Just as she left the inner room, Lin Xiaoyue unexpectedly saw Zhao Shanshan.

“Quickly help me wash up. I have to rush to the bamboo garden.”

Although she did not think that her absence would affect everyone’s choice of topic.

However, everyone was busy, and even the Imperial Advisor participated. It would not be good if she was the only one slacking off.

Also, she was afraid of getting into trouble.

Zhao Shanshan stepped forward, but she did not panic.

“Miss, don’t be anxious. The Imperial Advisor told you to go after you wake up. They said that they could handle it.”

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned, but her expression did not relax.

“In that case, the test papers have been delivered?

“How long has it been?” She asked Zhao Shanshan.

Zhao Shanshan paused.

“How long has it been since the Imperial Advisor sent someone to pass the message?” Lin Xiaoyue raised her voice.

Hopefully, it wasn’t long ago.

“No…not long, just about 25 minutes.” Zhao Shanshan was frightened by her Miss’ expression and quickly answered her.

Lin Xiaoyue wanted to knock her head, but she held back.

“Forget it. It’s already half an hour late anyway.”

It was already too late. It was useless to rush over.

She only hoped that Emperor Yan would not hear about this.

Also, the Imperial Advisor actually told her to go after she woke up. Wasn’t he being too lenient?

Previously in the bamboo garden, the Imperial Advisor had asked everyone to return to the courtyard to rest. She felt that it was because of her.

Now that she thought about it, she no longer doubted it.

The Imperial Advisor was taking such good care of her, was it really just because of Li Xiao?

Did he like his disciple so much?

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head. She stopped and continued to think.

If not because of Li Xiao, who else could it be?

The Imperial Advisor was so good to them, so she had to treat him better.

She had to put in more effort in the topic selection this afternoon.

After all, the outcome of tomorrow’s competition concerned the Imperial Advisor’s reputation and her plan to publish a book.

The Imperial Advisor had planned an amulet for her, so there was no reason for her not to accept it.

Zhao Shanshan listened to Lin Xiaoyue’s words and helped Lin Xiaoyue wash up.

Of course, she didn’t dare to take it slowly.

Her movements were swift and she quickly helped Lin Xiaoyue wash up.

Lin Xiaoyue didn’t delay any longer. She quickly left the room and went to the bamboo garden.

When they arrived at the bamboo garden, they saw that everyone was indeed busy.

When Liang Chengcai and the others saw Lin Xiaoyue arrive, they only raised their heads and glanced at her without saying anything.

It was the Sixth Princess who greeted her.

However, because she was too busy, she quickly continued to work.

Only Liu Wuji was sitting at the head of the table, flipping through the questions leisurely.

When he saw Lin Xiaoyue, he even stopped checking the questions and looked at her with a smile.

“Since you’re here, take a seat.” Then, he said to Lin Xiaoyue and looked at the empty seat in front of him.

“Yes, Master!” Lin Xiaoyue replied awkwardly.

Then, she walked towards that position and sat down.

At this moment, Liu Wuji also walked over.

He gave one of the questions to Lin Xiaoyue.

“There are a total of twenty questions here. You can answer them after you read them.”

“Then choose the five questions that you think are the most difficult.”

“If you can’t answer it, you can look at the answer and the solution on the last piece of paper,” Liu Wuji said after a pause.

In fact, he felt that his granddaughter would not have any difficulty answering these questions.

However, there was always a chance..
