Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

The results of the martial arts exam were announced two days later, which happened to be the day of the civil service exam. Ran Qiongxi was on the list, and Cheng Mo shined in the palace.

"That's pretty cool, you were able to pass the exam."

Ran Qiongxi and Ran Qianxi were walking on the palace road and were invited by the Queen Mother to have dinner in the palace.

"You are the only one in our family who is not good at studying."

"Tsk, what's there to be proud of for being the second place in martial arts? It's more impressive to be the second place in liberal arts like dad."

Ran Qiongxi smiled sarcastically, not at her father, but at her sister who was talking without any worries.

"Then you should take the exam too."

Ran Qianxi choked.

"I... I'm not interested in this..."

"Hahahaha, you are aiming for unorthodox and crooked ways."

Hearing her brother's contempt, Ran Qianxi exploded with anger!

"Ran Qiongxi! I want your life!!"

She waved her right hand and Ran Qiongxi dodged it easily.

"You better save your energy. Be careful not to stretch your waist when you are looking for prostitutes. You may lose the confidence to order an oiran later."

Ran Qianxi lifted her foot, and Ran Qiongxi dodged immediately, failing to kick her.

"You are so talented, why didn't you get the top score? Ah... Is it because you are not good enough in your studies... You were outdone by others?"

The difference in scores between the top and second place is not too big, but they have to be ranked first and second, so the top and second place have been enemies since ancient times.

"What did you say?"

Ran Qiongxi rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and beat her, but she turned around and ran in a hurry, and suddenly bumped into someone else's arms. When Ran Qiongxi saw who that person was, his face immediately turned ugly.

Ran Qianxi slowly raised her head, and a handsome and heroic face came into her eyes.

"Oh my god, so pretty..."

The man looked at the beautiful Ran Qianxi in his arms and felt a little dazed. He thought that even a hero could not resist the temptation of beauty, but unexpectedly, he was pushed away by Ran Qiongxi!

"Let go of my sister."

Wei Jiguo glanced at Ran Qiongxi, and the expression in his eyes was exactly the same as his, dissatisfied and disdainful.

"She is your sister?"

Ran Qiongxi protected Ran Qianxi behind her and told her not to touch her sister.

"Could it be your sister?"

Looking at the tense atmosphere between the two, Ran Qianxi chuckled.

"Oh...tsk tsk tsk tsk...look at this majestic general, he must be the first place in our palace examination!"

She deliberately pronounced the words "first place" and "martial arts champion" in a sonorous and powerful manner, which made Ran Qiongxi's face turn green with anger.

"Oh my... Wu Zhuangyuan~"

Ran Qiongxi knew that she was deliberately disgusting her, so she was not angry. Because at the moment, the way Wei Jiguo looked at his sister just now made him even more disgusted, so he pulled Ran Qianxi away.

"Let's go, the Queen Mother is waiting."

Wei Jiguo didn't have time to say anything about being rude.

When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, as soon as they entered the hall, they saw a beautiful girl. When she saw Ran Qiongxi, she took the initiative to walk up to her and bowed.

"Hello, Mr. Ran. Lunch is not ready yet. The Queen Mother wants me to take you for a walk in the back garden."

Ran Qianxi was stunned, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The Queen Mother was deliberately playing tricks on them.

"No need, I will wait in the side hall."

"Tsk, you're not stupid, it's great that this girl comes to you for free."

Ran Qiongxi looked at her helplessly. Not everyone was as fickle and sentimental as her.

"do not like."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows in surprise. If she didn't like someone so docile and well-behaved, then why would she like someone who was fierce and sexy? The corners of her mouth raised meaningfully.

"Oh... I get it... Big Brother, you like the charming ones~"

"Stop talking."

The woman bowed to him and refused to give in. It was obvious that she had taken a liking to him.

"Mr. Ran, can you bear to embarrass me?"

After hearing such green tea remarks, Ran Qianxi's already little favor towards her disappeared in an instant.

"Why are you talking like that? Are you using the Queen Mother to pressure my brother? I've already said I don't like you, but you still insist on sticking with me..."

When her sister spoke out of turn, Ran Qiongxi reminded her in time.

"In that case, I will walk with the young lady."

The woman looked at Ran Qianxi and smiled faintly, and the feud between the sisters-in-law was formed.

"Please, young master."

Ran Qianxi followed impatiently, but was stopped maliciously by the woman.

"You don't have to follow me, Second Miss. The Queen Mother is waiting for you in the inner hall."

"cut."

Ran Qianxi crossed her arms unwillingly, pretending that she didn't want to go, and looked around in a pretentious manner.

"Who wants to go?"

The woman bowed.

"It's okay if you don't want to. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the back garden. I don't want to hurt you anymore."

Ran Qianxi was so angry that she laughed and felt unhappy for a moment.

The two of them strode away, and Ran Qianxi followed immediately.

"It's so funny. If you don't let me go, then I won't go? And you dare to have wild thoughts about my big brother? You're dreaming!"

As the two walked along, the woman tried to find topics to talk about, but Ran Qiongxi just responded with a nonchalant "hmm", showing no affection for her at all.

When they arrived at the back garden, the woman was delighted to see the beautiful view. Ran Qiongxi's expression was even more helpless than when she accompanied Ran Qianxi to catch cats.

"Pfft, I thought I was so good, but Ran Qiongxi doesn't think highly of me at all."

Ran Qianxi carefully hid behind an osmanthus tree, and suddenly a centipede crawled down from the trunk. This made her more devastated than encountering a snake!

"Ah! Centipede! Oh my god!! Ugh... Ugh..."

She jumped away suddenly, her body and scalp instantly went numb, she was so scared that her face turned into a deathly pale, and she didn't even want to keep her own hands anymore.

When the two heard the noise, they looked over immediately and realized there was a centipede. Ran Qiongxi ran over immediately.

"Where?"

Ran Qianxi pointed at the tree trunk and instantly closed her eyes as if she was blind.

Ran Qiongxi looked over and saw a five-inch long centipede raising its tentacles to eat.

The centipede probably never thought that one day it would scare such a big person so much that he would jump up.

Ran Qiongxi knew that she hated centipedes. She was either very afraid of them or felt terrified just by looking at them, so she carried her in her arms.

"My mother is so ugly, even uglier than you."

Ran Qiongxi glanced at her.

"Believe it or not, I'll throw you back."

"No, no, no, my eldest brother is the most handsome, the most handsome..."

Ran Qiongxi carried her directly to Wei Jidie.

"My sister is timid, please help me, Miss Wei."

Wei Jidie pretended to smile, but he couldn't tell how annoyed he was with this light bulb in his heart.

"It's not inconvenient. Sister Ran is timid, so let's go together."

"Thank you."

The atmosphere immediately became strange when the three of them got together. He just kept arguing with Ran Qianxi and ignored Wei Jide.

"A centipede can scare you to death, so how can you not be scared when you do so many weird things?"

"Who said it scared me? It was just ugly to me."

"Huh, what a great achievement."

Forcing the fragmented magnetic field together was nothing but torture. After wandering around for a while, Wei Jiguo came over.

"Xiaodie, it's time to eat."

Ran Qianxi looked back in the direction of the voice, and saw Wei Jiguo's lips slightly open, as if his heart was moved again.

"This is the sister of the number one scholar. No wonder you look down on her."

Ran Qiongxi looked at Wei Jiguo with a gloomy face.

"I know..."
