I'm a cannon fodder, but I'm actually a heartthrob

"I like me very much."

Shen Zhaoan said the following words.

Rong Jin doesn't want to play this game that means nothing anymore.

Before he could say no, Shen Zhaoan's expression changed and he pushed him down on the bed.

Rong Jin: “?” What are you going to do?

Shen Zhaoan had a cold face and his voice seemed to be mixed with ice: "How is my senior brother?"

Senior brother?

Rong Jin saw a page of the storybook.

[Another day, the Taoist priest returned to the Taoist temple, only to see the little fox being pressed on the bed by his fellow apprentice.

Before the Taoist priest got angry, the junior brother glanced at him and smiled softly, "Senior brother, do you want to join us?"]

Rong Jin: “…” Shen Zhaoan really knows how to play.

Shen Zhaoan said a few lines about his junior brother, then held Rong Jin's wrist again, and changed his expression: "Rongrong, who is better, junior brother or senior brother?"

Rong Jin: “Neither is good.”

"Pfft," Shen Zhaoanle's eyes curved, "Brother Shen is still the best, right?"

Rong Jin turned his head away, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Shen Zhaoan was not angry either, and said softly, "Rongrong, we should go eat."

Shen Zhaoan didn't act like an emperor in front of Rong Jin. Rong Jin was already used to it and got up from the bed and changed his clothes.

The last time Pei Zhuxing went crazy, Rong Jin was a little afraid of him and didn’t want to cause trouble for the time being.

"Qiqi, I will wait until Pei Zhuxing enters the court before I bully him, okay?"

0517: [It's all right. It's fine as long as you fill it up before winter comes. ]

Rong Jin said "Oh", "By the way, Qiqi, is the time of the palace examination in this world different from that in my world? I remember that the time of the palace examination in history seemed to be in spring."

[Well, the palace examination here is held at the beginning of autumn. Because of the climate in Dasheng, there is basically no spring. After winter comes summer, so their palace examination is held in autumn when the temperature is suitable.]

Rong Jin was listening to 0517's explanation in a daze, when Shen Zhaoan unexpectedly put a piece of meat in his mouth.

Rong Jin chewed it and swallowed it, looking at Shen Zhaoan in confusion.

"What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in it that the food will get cold soon."

"Got it." Rong Jin responded and began to concentrate on eating.

Time passed quickly. While Rong Jin was lying down happily, Pei Zhuxing showed his brilliance in the imperial examination and became the top scorer of the year.

After the palace examination, there was a Qionglin Banquet to entertain the new scholars.

The Qionglin Banquet is also an important plot point. Some people at the banquet dislike Pei Zhuxing and think that Pei Zhuxing became the number one scholar only because of his father, Master Pei. They deliberately target Pei Zhuxing and make him compete with them in this and that.

Pei Zhuxing took advantage of this banquet to dispel everyone's doubts and also laid the groundwork for him to recruit these talented newcomers to the court later.

On that day, Rong Jin proposed to attend the Qionglin Banquet with Shen Zhaoan. However, there were many people at the banquet, so Shen Zhaoan certainly disagreed.

After being rejected by Shen Zhaoan, Rong Jin stopped pestering him.

But it was just a superficial compromise. He planned to change his clothes and sneak in.

He was already in the palace, so it was easy for him to sneak in.

Rong Jin watched from the side for a long time, and only dared to go in after Shen Zhaoan left.

Pei Zhuxing and Shen Susheng have the aura of protagonists in the crowd, and Rong Jin can see them at a glance.

He made an expression that he thought was very fierce, and walked behind Pei Zhuxing with an arrogant attitude.

"Master Pei, do you dare to compete with me?"

Seeing that Pei Zhuxing didn't say anything, Meng Qin felt that Pei Zhuxing was guilty, and the smug expression on his face became more and more obvious.

"Mr. Pei won the title of No. 1 Scholar thanks to Master Pei? If not, why don't you dare to compete with me?"

Under the gazes of the crowd, Pei Zhuxing said calmly, "You said that I won the top prize because of my father's status. Do you have any evidence?"

Pei Zhuxing's reaction was completely different from what Meng Qin had expected. When something unexpected happened, he panicked and blurted out, "This isn't obvious!"

Alas, I arrived at the right time.

Rong Jin did not step forward, waiting for Pei Zhuxing to slap Meng Qin in the face.

Pei Zhuxing had his back to Rong Jin and did not notice Rong Jin coming. He continued in a cold voice, "Then there is no evidence. What you said is not only a question to me, but also a question to His Majesty, and it is suspected of spreading rumors. According to the laws of Dasheng, those who spread rumors and slander will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and exiled a thousand miles away."

Rong Jin originally wanted to increase his bullying value by agreeing with what Meng Qin said, but then he heard Pei Zhuxing say this.

"Qiqi, how about we brush up on the bullying points another day?"

0517: [Look at you.]

Rong Jin hesitated for a moment, not wanting to give up this opportunity, and decided to look for another time.

As soon as Pei Zhuxing said that, Meng Qin fell silent.

He didn't expect that a casual remark of his would be so serious. Perhaps all the rumormongers were thinking the same thing.

Despite what Pei Zhuxing said, Meng Qin still insisted: "Since you didn't win the title by connections, why don't you compete with me?"

Pei Zhuxing sneered: "Why should I compete with you? What qualifications do you have?"

Meng Qin's face turned red from holding it in.

Rong Jin saw the right moment and said, "Pei Zhuxing, you will know if it is true or not after you compete with others. Why are you talking so much?"

Pei Zhuxing looked at Rong Jin, and the indifference on his face was broken.

Rong Jin didn't even look at him, he just looked at Meng Qin and said, "Tsk, you're going too far by trying to scare this young master, Pei Zhuxing!"

Anyone who heard this would think that Rong Jin was just looking for trouble.

But no one could say a word of reproach to Rong Jin's face.

When Meng Qin saw Rong Jin, his ears turned red, and he was especially excited when he heard Rong Jin speak for him. He said with extra energy, "This gentleman is absolutely right. Why is Mr. Pei unwilling to compete with me? Are you feeling guilty?"

Rong Jin's eyes never fell on Pei Zhuxing from beginning to end.

Pei Zhuxing clenched his hands, suppressed the darkness in his heart, and said word by word: "Okay, then let's have a competition."

He looked at Wei Qingci again, with a smile on his face: "Please trouble Lord Wei to give the questions."

The question was set by Wei Qingci, an important official of the imperial court, and no one raised any objection.

Rong Jin felt that he was uneducated, so he didn't listen much to what followed. He just watched Meng Qin think for a moment and then recite two lines of poetry, which drew applause from several people.

Pei Zhuxing said a few words, and then everyone present applauded.

It's easy to tell whose poem is better.

Rong Jin almost clapped along with them.

Meng Qin was unwilling to give up and the competition continued.

The outcome is clear now.

The humiliation value just increased by 6%, and the time is almost up. Rong Jin has to go back quickly. If Shen Zhaoan finds out that he sneaked out, he will be doomed.

When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Rong Jin suddenly had his mouth covered by someone’s hand.

"Well……"

"Rongrong, do you miss your husband?"

It's the pervert who harasses him all day and at night!

Rong Jin regretted that he didn't bring anyone with him when he came out, and now he couldn't call for help even if he wanted to.

"Rongrong, my husband misses you so much. I miss you so much that I am going crazy. I miss the smell of you, I miss you..."

The pervert was saying obscene words in Rong Jin's ear. This was the first time Rong Jin had a conversation with this pervert while being sober, but he still couldn't tell who this pervert was.
