God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Chapter 198 Cannon Fodder in the Imperial Examination 21

Chu Yueheng brought gifts for everyone, exchanged some greetings, and then made an excuse to talk to Zining alone.

Zi Ning took Chu Yueheng into his room. Everyone was still gathered in the yard, dazed and shocked by Chu Yueheng's identity.

"What are you all doing standing in the yard?" When Jiang Suining arrived, he saw everyone standing in the yard whispering, and all secretly looking towards Xie Ling's room.

"Brother Chu, oh no, it's the princess. She's here to look for Xie San, and they are talking in the room!" Wen Yuqin arrived early and got a big treat. Now he is curious about what they are talking about.

"How long have you been in there?"

"He just went in." Jiang Suining decided that if he didn't come out after an incense stick of time, he would go in and arrest him.

Inside the room, Zining stood three meters away from Chu Yueheng, not daring to go forward.

"Your Highness, why don't you just say what you want to say?" Chu Yueheng has been keeping her head down and not saying a word since she entered the room. No one can see her expression. I wonder what she is thinking?

"Xie San, are you doing well?"

ha?

Zi Ning was confused. He called me in to talk alone. After a long while, he just asked me if I was doing well.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm doing well." Zining scratched his chin happily.

"This palace... I... miss you very much... Thank you, San..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I...ah?"

ha?

Zining was shocked, with his mouth wide open, just like the shocked face in the Peppa Pig emoticon.

What did she just hear? Is this something she can listen to? Shut up, shut up, shut up, I won't listen!

"Xie San, I... I like you! Will you marry me? I don't want to marry anyone else, and I don't want you to marry anyone else either!" Chu Yueheng mustered up the courage to say these words. She rushed towards Zi Ning, threw herself into Zi Ning's arms, raised her head and kissed Zi Ning's lips...

Zi Ning didn't have time to react when hearing these words, and was directly hit by the princess. His back hit the wall behind him, and Zi Ning groaned. But then, the "hmm" was swallowed up by the princess' kiss.

Chu Yueheng had never kissed a man before, but when she saw the man she had been thinking about day and night, she couldn't help but want to get close to him, to be close to him...

She kissed randomly...

Zining's eyes widened. It was the first time in her life that she was kissed by a woman. Oh my God.

And at this moment, Zining felt that his second brother raised his head, as if he was about to soar into the sky!

Zi Ning's body stiffened. Help! Someone teach him how to control this! At this embarrassing moment, the second brother looked up. If the princess knew, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?

Whatever comes to mind.

Chu Yueheng clung to Zining tightly. This was the first time she expressed her feelings to him, and in such a reckless way...

Gradually, she felt something was wrong. Something was pressing against her lower abdomen...

"Ah! Xie San! You!" Chu Yueheng exclaimed and ran away shyly.

Chu Yueheng's face turned red. She quickly left Zining's yard, got on the carriage and ran away.

Everyone outside the house was startled by the sudden opening of the door, and then they saw the princess leaving quickly with a red face. What happened?

When Jiang Suining entered the room, he saw Zining standing there in a daze. His face was unusually red, like a patient with a fever.

"you……"

"Nothing." Zining walked quickly to the desk, sat down, picked up the book and started reading. But his heart was still beating very fast, and his heart was still restless.

She didn't expect that Chu Yueheng would actually like her. Oh my God, they haven't seen each other for such a long time, how could she suddenly like her?

Oh, I see. She must not want to marry someone she doesn't know and wants me to marry her. After all, Chu Yueheng and Zining are childhood sweethearts. They have known each other for several years and even slept in the same bed.

!

Does she know?

Never mind, the most important thing now is the imperial examination. Princess, why are you looking for trouble at this time? Can't you wait until you finish the exam to deal with it?

The imperial examination not only tests students' knowledge, but also their physical fitness and perseverance. Fortunately, Zining started exercising a long time ago, and his physical fitness was strong, so he did not faint from the torture of the imperial examination.

However, the weather in the north is really cold, and Zining, who comes from the south, is not used to it for a while. Fortunately, he came early. If he had come at a late date, he would have caught a cold after entering the Imperial Examination Hall. If he had a weaker constitution and developed a fever, he would have been carried out directly.

The results were announced three days later, and Zining topped the list, becoming the top scholar.

Zining did not return to Wujiang, but the good news had already been passed back. The Xie family was so happy that tears welled up in their eyes. Finally, the clouds had cleared and the moon was shining. Everything was getting better and better.

Zining is still reviewing his lessons in the capital and will continue to take part in the palace examination.

In the imperial study, Emperor Mingde was frowning. The Oirat had become more and more arrogant recently, and had sent an envoy to negotiate, but the demands they put forward were unacceptable.

"Father, your name is Xiaoqi?" Chu Yueheng was dressed in a gorgeous official suit. She was like a peony that had just bloomed, graceful and elegant, and most beautiful among all the beauties.

"Xiao Qi, your marriage... don't you like the prince of the Duke of Lu? Why don't you tell your father your thoughts?" Emperor Mingde always granted the requests of his most beloved Seventh Princess, and even hoped that her marriage would be perfect.

"Father, I have someone I like." Chu Yueheng had lost her appetite since returning to Beijing. When she slept soundly at night, she would always dream of Xie San who was far away in Wujiang. As time went by, she realized that she might have fallen in love with the handsome scholar without realizing it.

"Oh?" Emperor Mingde received a letter from Old Master Tong two days ago, which said that Xiao Qi was close to a scholar from Wujiang. The young man was talented and handsome, and had already gone to Beijing to take the imperial examination. If he was on the list, he would be more than a match for Xiao Qi.

Emperor Mingde saw the name, Xie Ling.

Isn’t this the freshly minted champion?

He specifically asked someone to bring his paper to him for a look, and he read it over and over again three times before he confirmed that he deserved the title of champion.

"Why aren't you talking, Xiao Qi? Who do you think your father is going to marry you?"

Chu Yueheng was about to speak, but changed her mind and decided to forget it. She wanted to hear Xie Ling's answer in person, confirm his intentions, and then ask her father to grant them marriage.

She didn't want to force it. If Xie Ling didn't want to marry her, she would naturally have a way to force him to marry her. However, her self-esteem told her that she couldn't do that.

Let’s talk about it after Xie Ling finishes the exam.

The palace examination only lasted one day, starting at dawn and ending at dusk, and the emperor served as the chief examiner.

Zi Ning calmed down and went to the palace to take the exam.

The results of the palace examination will be announced three days later. All the successful candidates will go to the Qinzheng Hall to wait for their names to be called and their grades to be awarded.

As the sound of ceremonial music sounded, Emperor Mingde ascended the highest platform and announced the top prize winner.

"The first place in the palace examination is Wu Jiang Xie Ling."
