After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

The truth of the imperial examination cheating case was like the sun shining into a dark corner, shocking the entire Zhou Dynasty. What surprised people even more was that after this incident, the Zhou Dynasty welcomed two top scorers, which was an unprecedented event in history. Wang Ping was acquitted and regained his freedom. His joy and gratitude could not be expressed in words.

After making inquiries from many sources, they finally found out that it was Nan Rongxi who was silently helping them behind the scenes, which made the truth come to light.

So, Wang Ping discussed with his companions and decided to go to Nan Rong's house in person to express their deep gratitude to Nan Rongxi.

Nanrong's home is located in a quiet place in the capital, with a deep courtyard and towering ancient trees. Wang Ping and others stepped into this solemn and dignified mansion with gratitude and admiration. The servants led them through the winding corridors and came to an elegant living room.

In the living room, the aroma of tea wafted in the air. Nan Rongjie was sitting at the table, sipping tea quietly, his eyes deep and bright. Seeing Wang Ping and others coming, he quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "It is a great honor for Minister Wang and the two champions to visit my humble home!"

On the side, Nan Rongxi sat on a chair, yawning slightly. She was a little puzzled, not understanding why her father asked her to greet the guests today. Her sleep time was compressed again, and she was inevitably a little reluctant.

Wang Ping stepped forward, bowed deeply to Nan Rongjie, and said gratefully: "Minister Nan Rong, this time the three of us were able to clear our names thanks to your timely provision of key evidence! We will always remember this kindness in our hearts!"

Nan Rongjie smiled and helped Wang Ping up. He waved his hand gently and said, "Minister Wang, you are too kind. Everything I did was out of the pursuit of justice and the insistence on fairness. I just did what I should do."

He turned to Nan Rongxi and said gently, "Xi'er, come over here too and get to know Minister Wang and the others."

Although Nan Rongxi was a little sleepy, she still walked over obediently and saluted Wang Ping and others. Wang Ping looked at her with a flash of admiration in his eyes, thinking: Is this Nan Rongxi? She looks like a smart and kind girl. This time, it's really thanks to her.

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, what evidence did my father submit? How come I don’t know about it! ]

Nan Rongjie: ...

Wang Ping: It turned out that it was this so-called system that saved me. It’s amazing!

The two top scholars were also surprised, but they had to pretend that nothing had happened, after all, the emperor had issued an imperial decree.

System: [It is said that your father saw Wang An giving money to the people and asked someone to make trouble, but this is not important. Do you want to eat some melons about the three people in front of you? ]

Nan Rongjie: It seems that the system has a function to protect against being discovered!

Wang Ping: This is the legendary eating melon!

Nan Rongxi instantly became excited: [Tongzi, come! Pop the melons one by one! ]

System: [Let’s first take a look at this Shangshu Wang! ]

"Come on, everyone, have some tea! I sent someone to pick this tea from Longjing, it's great!"

Nan Rongjie wanted to divert everyone's attention, but then everyone was already attracted by the system and couldn't extricate themselves!

System: [This Lord Wang is not just a miser. He has such a high salary, but he doesn't even want to spend the cloth he has to make clothes. He has worn his underwear for seven or eight years and has several holes on it.]

Nan Rongxi's mouth corners instantly pulled up.

Nan Rongjie: ...

Tang Chen: So this is a terrible system.

Xu Dong: This...

"Pu!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping spat out the tea he had just finished drinking.

"Minister Wang, are you okay?"

Nan Rongjie also looked helpless.

Everyone immediately looked at him strangely, and Wang Ping suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Nan Rongxi: [This melon is good. Also, why didn’t they bring any gifts when they came to express their gratitude? ]

Wang Ping: …

Tang Chen: ...

Xu Dong: ...

System: [They wanted to buy a few melons, but the Shangshu tried to bargain for a long time but failed, and he didn’t have enough money, so he didn’t buy them! ]

Wang Ping: …

Tang Chen: ...

Xu Dong: ...

"Hahaha, it's okay, as long as everyone can come!"

Nan Rongjie gave an awkward but polite smile: Please, stop eating melons!

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, let’s continue eating melons. Where are the other two people? ]

Wang Ping: That’s great, you finally let me go.

Tang Chen: ...

Xu Dong: ...

System: [I’ll tell you a big story about Tang Chen. Actually, Tang Chen has always wanted to establish some kind of relationship with Xu Dong! ]

Xu Dong: Oh my god…

Tang Chen: What the hell? What the hell?

Wang Ping: So exciting!

Nan Rongxi: [Oh my god, this is so exciting! ]

System: [In fact, Tang Chen has always liked Xu Dong's sister, so he wants to be Xu Dong's brother-in-law! He has been pursuing his sister without telling Xu Dong, and judging from the situation, he should succeed soon! But he was afraid that Xu Dong would mind, so he didn't dare to tell him! ]

Xu Dong: You scared me, but I treat you as a brother and you treat me as your brother-in-law???

Tang Chen: ...let me go!

Wang Ping: Fortunately, fortunately, I thought it was something else!

Nan Rongjie: Can you please save some energy and stop eating melons?

System: [There is one more, Xu Dong’s gossip, do you want to hear it? ]

"I think it's getting late today, let's go back quickly!"

Xu Dong stood up and said.

How could Tang Chen and Wang Ping let him go? They each held one of his shoulders.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only a short time now. We can't neglect the respect of Minister Nan Rong!"

"It's a rare trip, it would be boring to leave so early!"

Nan Rongjie was watching the three of them from the side, sweat almost pouring down his face, while Nan Rongxi was concentrating on eating the melon.

Nan Rongxi smiled knowingly: [Don't talk nonsense, how can I not eat the melon! ]

System: [In fact, Xu Dong’s hair has already fallen out into a Mediterranean style. He spent a lot of money on this wig! He is still rubbing ginger on his head every day, but it doesn’t help.]

Xu Dong: I...

Tang Chen: You can’t laugh! You can’t laugh!

Wang Ping: The quality of this wig looks good. I think I will have to get one in the future.

Nan Rongxi's eyes began to turn to Xu Dong's head: [I have to say, this wig is good! It looks good when worn, but I want to see what's inside! ]

Xu Dong: Be a human being...

"I think it's getting late. Do you want to have dinner before going back?"

Nan Rongjie couldn't stand it anymore and quickly tried to find a way to resolve the embarrassment.

Nan Rongxi: [I am not sleepy anymore, I still want to continue eating the gossip about these three people! ]

Wang Ping: …

Tang Chen: ...

Xu Dong: ...

"No need, the three of us have things to do, so we'll leave first!"

"Minister Nanrong, please come visit me again next time if you have the chance!"

"We are busy, so don't bother us anymore!"

The three of them quickly showed awkward and mysterious smiles!
