Chapter 165: Do Your Best

Li Nuo took the book Li Anning had sent over and casually flipped through it.

Indeed, it housed the Compositions of the top scholars from the Book Department from previous Imperial Examinations.

However, such material was supposed to be confidential, at least it was beyond Li Nuo's reach.

As for the Court Painters, they weren't considered officials, nor did they belong to any department in the court. They were under the jurisdiction of the Inner Court and only members of the Imperial Family had the authority to dispatch them.

In the spring exam, Li Nuo's Composition and paintings were among the few that did not receive excellent marks in the six subjects of the Nine-Categorized Exams.

Li Anning had truly worried herself sick for his tests.

She had never been so concerned before.

Knowing her as well as he did, how could Li Nuo not see through her little schemes?

He set the book down and asked, "The Ministry of Justice must be quite backed up with case files by now, right?"
