Time travel, Your Highness Ninth Prince has been rejected from marriage again!

Everyone has arrived, now is the real start. Those just now were just appetizers.

The flower bed in the middle of the imperial garden was removed, and the male and female guests began to gather together.

Chu Wei quickly found Zhu Jianing and pulled her to his side. He reminded me secretly, "Now that you're here, be honest and don't cause any trouble for me."

Zhu Jianing nodded reluctantly. She used to look down on Chu Wei, but even now she feels that Chu Wei is worthy of her. But now that she is in the palace, Chu Wei is the only one she can rely on.

Qing Xiao walked towards Lin Ruochu. Obviously they had just met her a few days ago when they were getting engaged, but he was just thinking about it. Now that there were so many people, he didn't dare to show it too obviously, so he just walked to her side.

Lin Ruochu looked at his stiff movements and smiled.

The same goes for Mo Jingchun and Lu Xingci. But it was obvious that Lu Xingci was thicker-skinned than Qing Xiao and had already taken Mo Jingchun into his hands.

He couldn't stop praising Mo Jingchun's beauty, which made Mo Jingchun's little face turn red.

Shen Lingfei and Qingyun were sitting in the pavilion on one side. Watching these two young lovers, eating melon seeds.

Shen Lingfei clicked his tongue twice and shook his head, "The world is really in decline, morals are corrupt, and I have no shame at all."

Qingyun glanced at him, "Which one do you think is right? My eldest brother or my cousin?".

Shen Lingfei was dumbfounded, as if nothing he said was right.

He glanced at another pair and pointed at "that pair".

Qingyun looked in the direction of his finger. It was Chu Yi who was entangled with a woman.

Judging from the dress of the woman, she does not look like a young lady from a wealthy family, but more like a maid of that young lady.

But judging from the way she resisted but still welcomed her, she probably wasn't trying to rob a civilian girl.

Qingyun and Shen Lingfei moved in unison, raising their hands to eat melon seeds and shaking their heads in wonder. The action is the same as pasting and copying. Sitting in the pavilion and eating melon.

"Now that Chu Yi has gone back, Li Shumiao cannot die of grief."

"Looking at that woman's status, she probably doesn't have a high status. She will probably be a concubine."

"Looking like this is not a peaceful life. It will also cause trouble for Li Shumiao when we go back."

"What? When did you care about her so much?" Shen Lingfei looked at Qingyun curiously.

"I don't care about her, I just don't want Chu Yi to have it so easy."

"Yes, Chu Yi had a great time while we were away."

Meng Xiaoxiao was in another pavilion, with Meng Zixuan and Yan Yusen sitting on the left and right respectively. And behind him stood a group of noble ladies.

While Qingyun and Shen Lingfei were watching the lovers eating melon in the yard, Meng Xiaoxiao and Yan Yusen were also watching her. Qingyun knew, but she just didn't want to talk to her.

Yan Yusen stared at Qingyun angrily, then turned to Meng Xiaoxiao and said, "Queen Mother, look at her. A mere princess has more airs than a princess like me. And she also said that you can't compare to the Queen Mother."

She thought she would receive comfort from Meng Xiaoxiao, but unexpectedly she received a severe reprimand from Meng Xiaoxiao.

"First come, first served, it's just a matter of order. And she didn't come late. You are a princess, why bother with her. Besides, what she said is right, I can't compare to the Queen Mother."

Yan Yusen was a little surprised: "Mother, why do you...". Seeing the noble girls around him from the corner of his eye, he immediately changed his tone and nodded obediently, "That's what my mother taught me."

Meng Zihan disdained, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is too kind, but the talented Qingyun is so ignorant of etiquette. If you ask me, she should be taught a good lesson and let her recognize her identity."

"Don't be ridiculous. Your Royal Highness is still young, so you should be pampered." Meng Xiaoxiao pretended to scold Meng Zihan.

Meng Zihan rolled his eyes, "What my aunt said is that my niece realized her mistake."

"It's okay, it's okay if you know you're wrong."

Meng Xiaoxiao successfully received compliments from other noble ladies. It can be said that she is tolerant and has the demeanor of a mother of the country.

The other half was set off by slandering Qingyun. Meng Xiaoxiao liked such compliments very much.

In a blink of an eye, he looked at Lin Ruochu who was talking to Qing Xiao, his eyes darkened a bit. He motioned to the palace maid to invite the person over.

Qingyun and Shen Lingfei turned their heads at the same time, following the steps of the palace maid. Watching her invite Lin Ruochu to Meng Xiaoxiao.

The two stood up instantly, looked at each other, and walked towards Meng Xiaoxiao.

Lin Ruochu leaned over and saluted, "Better greetings to the Queen, may the Queen be well."

Meng Xiaoxiao stood up and stepped forward, helping Lin Ruochu up. "No need to be polite, I remember your cousin from Zhao Shangshu's family, right?"

"Yes, my daughter is Mrs. Huang's niece."

Meng Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction, "As expected of General Huang's relative, you are such a wonderful person."

"The Queen is ridiculous." Lin Ruochu didn't understand what Meng Xiaoxiao was going to do, so he could only follow her words.

Qingyun leaned against the Roman column in the pavilion, raised her ears, and listened openly to the corner of the wall. Shen Lingfei's actions were exactly the same as hers.

"You are so humble. You are the first beauty queen in Tianyuan Kingdom. You have brought a lot of glory to the Zhao family."

Qingyun snorted, trying to gain glory? She didn't think so, that was just a superficial statement.

If the Zhao family can produce a top pick, of course everyone will be happy. The premise is that it must be a man, but now it is a woman.

On the surface, they are complimenting the Zhao family, but secretly they don't know how much they want to despise them. When Lin Ruochu didn't come, how many noble ladies looked up to her. Seeing her coming, how many noble ladies are there to see her laugh?

In their view, it is a shameful thing for a woman to take the exam for meritorious service. If you fail the exam, you will be treated as a joke; if you pass the exam, you will be treated as a joke behind your back.

If the Zhao family really felt that Lin Ruochu had gained fame for the Zhao family, they would not just give a few words of verbal praise, but throw a grand banquet.

Lin Ruochu understood these truths even more. The moment she stepped into the examination room, there was no turning back. But she still chose to move forward and won applause from the audience. Even if it is hypocritical.

When Meng Xiaoxiao said this now, she didn't know whether she was being sarcastic or testing.

Lin Ruochu continued unhurriedly: "My aunt and uncle treat me like my own daughter. They are the ones who made Tanhua Niang Lin Ruochu, not Tanhua Niang who made the Zhao family."

"Well said, you are such a good boy. When you come to serve as an official in the court, I will definitely advise your majesty to give you a more relaxed official position."

"Thank you, Queen. Any official position is for the benefit of the people. My daughter is not afraid of hard work."

Meng Xiaoxiao's smile faded a bit, "That's all. I heard that you got married a few days ago?"

"Yes".

"The young master of that family, is he worthy of you?" Meng Xiaoxiao looked curious.

Qingyun hated the cold, she knew it clearly, but she still pretended to know nothing about it.

"She is the young minister of Dali Temple, the young minister of the Qing Dynasty. This is a young girl who has reached a high level."

"Hey, how can you belittle yourself like this? What about the young minister of Dali Temple? When you become an official, you will definitely surpass him in time."
