Children of Loulan

Chapter 390 Best Friend

Looking at the magnificent inn in front of him, Mamtim suddenly realized. He realized that the unusual behavior of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday was actually just a clever test of him. Thinking of this, Mamtim was overjoyed and secretly glad that he had not made a mistake. It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a wise ruler who cares about the world and the people!

Thinking of this, he happily stepped into this unique "inn". As soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by its unique atmosphere. The inn was crowded, but it did not seem noisy or chaotic. Instead, it had a unique liveliness and warmth.

He looked around curiously, his eyes occasionally falling on those students who also came from poor families. After a while, he took the initiative to approach a few of them and started chatting with them. During the conversation, he deliberately concealed the fact that his brother-in-law was the current crown prince and his sister was the crown princess, and only presented himself as an ordinary civilian.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the crucial exam day arrived. In the early morning of that day, the sun shone through the thin clouds, covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze. Hanguli knew that she couldn't let others know that the prince's brother-in-law was taking the exam, so she deliberately changed into a simple and plain civilian outfit.

When she and her parents sent Maimaiti to the entrance of the examination room, they were amazed by the scene in front of them. The entrance of the examination room was already crowded with people. Some people were holding their children's hands, giving them many instructions; some had their servants standing by, silently cheering for their children; and more candidates were walking into the examination room alone, nervous and expectant.

Looking at the solemn and dignified door of the examination room, which slowly closed with a dull sound, as if the whole world was divided into two different worlds, Hanguli clenched her palms tightly, her uneasy heart hanging high in the air, unable to land.

This exam was very serious, and was divided into three sessions, each lasting three days. That is to say, all students taking the exam had to spend nine long days in this closed space. Although Hanguli had made careful preparations, and had prepared all kinds of daily necessities for Mamtim, and even brought a thick quilt just in case, her deep concern for her brother did not diminish in the slightest.

Time passed by bit by bit, and every day was a torment for Hanguli. She kept imagining the scene in the examination room, wondering whether her brother could cope with it well, whether he would encounter difficult problems... This anxiety followed her like a shadow, making her unable to sleep or eat.

Finally, the moment of the final exam came. When Maimaiti appeared at the entrance of the examination room, Hanguli's eyes were immediately attracted. Maimaiti's face was a little haggard, and his originally bright eyes now revealed a trace of fatigue and tiredness. Seeing such a brother, Hanguli's heart, which had been hanging high, suddenly felt as if it had found its home, and fell heavily.

Han's mother also walked forward quickly, looking at her son with a distressed look on her face, and couldn't help asking, "My son, how come you have lost so much weight in just a few days?"

However, before Mamtim could answer his mother's question, Hanguli said, "Mom, he has been very hard these days. Let's go home and talk slowly!"

Han's father smiled and nodded, saying in agreement: "That's right, the child just had his exam nine days ago, we need to let him go home and have a good hot meal, then wash up comfortably, it won't be too late to talk about anything later!"

Han's mother came back to her senses at this moment, as if awakened from a dream, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, oh, look at me, as a mother, how confused I am! Let's go home first!" Then she reached out and grabbed her son's arm, ready to get on the carriage together.

At this moment, a clear and familiar voice suddenly came from behind them: "Brother, how do you feel about this exam?"

When Mamtim heard the voice, he was slightly shocked and turned around quickly. When he saw the man's face clearly, he immediately showed respect and saluted with his hands clasped together, saying, "Brother, I have tried my best in this exam, but the final result will probably depend on God's arrangement!"

Hanguli also looked in the direction of the voice out of curiosity, and saw a young man standing in front of her, about 25 or 26 years old. The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome face. He was dressed in brocade clothes, which made him look elegant and extraordinary. At the same time, the man also noticed Hanguli and others, so he asked casually, "Who are these people?"

Mamtim quickly introduced with a smile: "Oh, brother, let me introduce them to you. This is my father, mother, and sister." Mamtim introduced his family members one by one!

I saw a man bowing respectfully and said softly: "Hello, uncle and aunt, Miss!"

Seeing this, Hanguli and her parents smiled and returned the greeting. Mamtim greeted the visitor warmly, and the two chatted happily. After a long while, Mamtim agreed with the man to meet again another day, and then he turned around and got on the carriage.

As the wheels rolled slowly, the carriage drove steadily on the road back to the Xuanwang Mansion. Hanguli turned her head curiously, looked at her brother Mamtim, and asked, "Brother, I saw that you were very respectful to that person just now!"

Mamtim nodded without hesitation, his face full of admiration, and replied: "Sister, you don't know, this man is a close friend I have made recently, he is really a great scholar with a wealth of knowledge! In the past, I always thought that our prince was already knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that this man's knowledge is even better!"

Hearing this, Hanguli couldn't help but widen her eyes, staring at Mamtim in surprise, and asked, "Oh? How did you get such a high evaluation? Then how did you two meet? Tell me quickly!"

Mamtim smiled slightly, recalling the scene of their initial meeting, and said: "It was a coincidence. A few days ago, I saw many students sleeping on the streets with nowhere to stay. I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to ask His Highness for help. Who would have thought that His Highness already knew about this and had arranged everything properly. When I went to visit the students' resettlement place, I happened to meet him there. After a conversation, we were pleasantly surprised to find that we had similar interests and it felt like we had met too late! Since then, we have often visited each other and exchanged knowledge."

Hanguli nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then asked again: "Then in your opinion, can he pass the imperial examination and gain fame this time?"

Mamtim answered with a firm look in his eyes: "In my opinion, he can at least get the third place in the high school draft this time!"

Hanguli couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and then turned the topic to Mamtim himself, asking curiously: "So what do you think of yourself?"

Mamtim pondered for a moment, then said confidently: "I think I can get into the top three!"
