I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"I am sorry for my rudeness. I pay my respects to your Majesty!" The man quickly reacted, suppressed his shock and bowed, "Your Majesty, please take shelter here. I will leave immediately."

"I wonder if you are one of the new members?" Su Minglang carefully looked at the man in front of him, but his eyes were always on the ground and he refused to look up. "Why are you so restrained if you have no choice?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not offend you." The man bowed his head even more and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave immediately. Please do not worry."

Su Minglang had seen too many intrigues in the palace, and seeing a young girl was rare, she couldn't help but want to tease her, "What are you afraid of? Am I a man-eating beast?"

As soon as Xiao Ye saw the strange smile on Su Minglang's face, he knew that the person in front of him was in trouble, and he lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter.

Su Minglang turned around and glared at her, then turned around and continued, "Look up and let me see how many talented people there are among the new students this year?"

The man kept his head down and didn't dare to speak. A faint blush covered his neck. Su Minglang waited for a long time, but he was silent like a piece of wood. Su Minglang couldn't help but lose interest.

"Forget it. I won't make things difficult for you. It's just that we are destined to be together, but you won't even tell me your name?"

The man finally moved upon hearing this, but he stubbornly refused to raise his head: "Your humble servant Zhou Linsu greets the queen."

"Zhou Linsu?" Su Minglang was startled. This name and the familiar face in front of her, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

In his previous life, Zhou Linsu could be said to be Xiao Heng's right-hand man. As soon as he entered the court, Xiao Heng took a fancy to him and kept him by his side to train him. He was a talented person who was dedicated to serving the people. If you think about it carefully, now should be the time when he has just passed the imperial examination.

After being reborn, Su Minglang also thought about whether he could use the Su family to get in touch with this top scholar, but he didn't expect to meet him like this.

Su Minglang suddenly remembered how he looked just now and couldn't help feeling ashamed. He was afraid that this bad reputation would remain in the heart of this number one scholar.

"Boqi? Why are you hiding here?"

Just as Su Minglang was struggling with sadness, another familiar voice came from behind her. The person who came obviously did not expect to meet her here, "Your humble servant greets the Concubine Zhaoyi."

"Master Wen, there is no need to be so polite." Su Minglang saw the visitor slowly stand up and nodded slightly, "How did you find time to enter the palace today?"

"I just came out from the Queen's place. I wonder if you have paid a visit to the Queen?"

"No." Wen Ji looked a little lonely, "Eldest sister... the Queen is not suitable for a visit now. I will go again in the future."

Su Minglang then remembered that the queen was still under house arrest, and looked at him apologetically, "I was inconsiderate."

"The Queen is fine, Lord Wen, don't worry."

"Thank you, Empress Zhaoyi." Wen Ji smiled and bowed, "The Empress always likes quietness, this is a rare opportunity."

"Indeed." Su Minglang responded, and suddenly remembered Zhou Linsu who was left aside, and took advantage of Wen Ji's words to ask: "Master Wen, are you here to look for the number one scholar?"

"It seems that Brother Zhou's reputation for passing the imperial examination has spread to the palace." Wen Ji looked at Zhou Linsu jokingly, but saw that the usually calm man was uncharacteristically stiff, trying hard to distance himself from the two men, and even half of his body was about to get wet.

"Brother Zhou?" Wen Ji asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!" Zhou Linsu suddenly raised her head, and Su Minglang could see her full appearance. She was not as beautiful as the rumors said, but she did look gentle and refined, with the air of a scholar.

"Is Lord Zhou also so timid when facing His Majesty's palace examination?" Su Minglang stopped smiling and frowned. Although it was a good thing to meet a young and green top scholar, if he always remained so timid, Su Minglang would really despise him.

On the other hand, Wen Ji is open and generous, and he is obviously a rare talent. It's a pity that his surname is Wen, and he is from the Wen family in Kyoto.

Su Minglang suddenly understood Xiao Heng a little. If she were the emperor, with the old ministers and cronies around her controlling most of the court and the young men behind her all being extremely talented, she would break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. She was afraid that it wouldn't be long before she would no longer be the one calling the shots in this world.

"This is different!" Zhou Linsu retorted anxiously. As soon as she looked up, she saw Su Minglang looking at her sternly. Her heart trembled and she lowered her head again.

Su Minglang laughed and looked at Wen Ji helplessly, "Master Wen, do you think I look so scary?"

"Brother Zhou, please be considerate of etiquette and avoid suspicion. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Wen Ji bowed his head, covering most of Zhou Linsu's body.

"Master Wen, please don't mind. Master Zhou and I just met by chance. In the future, one is in the court and the other is in the palace. Naturally, we have nothing to do with each other." Su Minglang pulled the corner of his mouth to ease his expression and said, "Please do as you please, my two masters."

The rain outside slowly stopped. The weather after the rain was damp. Even if I took a few steps with an umbrella, the damp air would wet my clothes.

Su Minglang picked up the umbrella, called out to Xiaoye, and was about to leave. When he turned around, he saw that the only paper umbrella standing next to the pillar was the one that Wen Ji had just brought. After thinking about it, he decided to leave the umbrella in his hand behind, so that he could share one with Xiaoye.

"This umbrella comes from the Queen's palace. Lord Wen, please feel free to use it." After she said that, she turned and left without even looking at Zhou Linsu who was hiding nearby.

Zhou Linsu didn't come out from behind Wen Ji until the two of them walked away. He took a look at the oil umbrella lying on the stone table and felt ashamed. "Empress Zhaoyi is a woman and she can be calm and composed, but I, Zhou Linsu, a man, am so timid and unbecoming!"

But he suddenly remembered Su Minglang's joke and his ears turned red.

Wen Ji handed him his umbrella and picked up the one left by Su Minglang. "The rain has stopped, let's go quickly."

"Before entering the palace, I told you not to run around, so as not to bump into the nobles." Wen Ji squeezed the umbrella in his hand: "Fortunately, you met the Concubine Zhaoyi."

Zhou Linsu nodded, not paying attention to Wen Ji exchanging their umbrellas, and hurriedly followed him into the mist.

Not long after the two left, a heavy rain came and washed away all the traces left by that moment. The heavy rain suddenly poured down, and then turned into continuous drizzle.

Su Minglang and Xiao Ye hurried back to Linglong Palace before the second heavy rain. Although their clothes were not soaked, they were too wet to wear. After taking a bath and changing clothes, the rain did not stop.

The heavy rain fell, and the laughter and joy in my ears all disappeared. Only the sound of raindrops hitting the window eaves rang in my ears.
