After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Xiao Minshen seemed to be burned by his tears and let go of Ning Ruyan.

Ning Ruyan hugged Xiao Minshen instead, "Your Majesty, it was my fault. I have already regretted it!"

As she said that, she raised her head and kissed Xiao Minshen on the lips.

Xiao Minshen was stunned and felt a little dizzy. A warm current surged in his body and flowed to one place.

He shook his head, trying to sober himself up.

But the heat all over his body made him unable to help but hold the coolness in his mouth.

On the second day, everyone knew that the prince had stayed overnight in Qixia Garden.

Because early in the morning, Nanny Zhao sent someone to inform everyone that they didn't need to pay their respects to the main courtyard.

Xiao Minshen's biological clock makes him wake up on time at the beginning of the morning.

When he turned his head, he saw Ning Ruyan sleeping beside him.

He narrowed his eyes and saw clearly that Ning Ruyan's exposed body was covered with marks.

He recalled his unusual reaction last night and a cloud of emotion appeared in his eyes.

"Your Highness, it's still early, you should sleep a little longer." Ning Ruyan, half awake, put her arm around Xiao Minshen's arm.

Xiao Minshen’s indulgence last night still made her feel dizzy.

Xiao Minshen grabbed her neck and said, "Tell me, why did you drug me?"

Ning Ruyan, who was in deep sleep, woke up suddenly and struggled hard.

She reached out to pull Xiao Minshen's hand, trying to get him to let her go.

But the hand around her neck kept getting tighter and tighter, and soon she felt like she couldn't breathe.

She dug her fingernails into her neck and said breathlessly, "I...did not...drug...you."

"I...love...your Highness, but...I added...Hehuan...Powder...into the wine."

Xiao Minshen threw her to the edge of the bed and started to put on his clothes.

Ning Ruyan covered her neck with her hands. The feeling of being resurrected from the dead made her collapse on the bed, gasping for breath.

Xiao Minshen went out angrily and took away the wine jug from last night before leaving.

When Nanny Zhao saw this, she rushed in worriedly.

I saw Ning Ruyan laughing like a madman on the bed.

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Why did the prince leave in such a rage?"

Last night, Ning Ruyan and Xiao Minshen consummated their marriage, and Aunt Zhao prayed to the Buddha outside the door for much of the night.

Before she could be happy for long, she saw Xiao Minshen coming out angrily.

"Hehe, does he think that I just added Hehuan Powder?"

Ning Ruyan sat on the edge of the bed, crying and laughing.

Did he think she wanted this? The person she loved in her heart was not him at all.

However, for the sake of the family, she had to sleep with him against her will.

In order to get pregnant at once, she not only added aphrodisiac powder to the wine, but also added aphrodisiac drugs to the incense in her room and even her lip balm.

She hadn't even mourned her innocence yet, but Xiao Minshen, a man, became angry as if she had defiled him.

It's so funny, she didn't even dislike him, but he was so angry that he wanted to kill her!

So funny! Hahaha!

Nanny Zhao looked at Ning Ruyan who seemed to be crazy, and went forward to hug her with heartache.

...

"Zhenxiulou" opened for business.

More than ten days ago, Shen Yunjin asked someone to make a lot of flower invitations.

The teachers from each academy will be invited to have a day's meal for free, but each of them needs to come up with a test question.

The test paper is hung in the middle of the hall and anyone who comes to dine can answer it.

Those who answer the questions correctly will have their bill at "Zhenxiulou" waived on that day.

The students who had gathered in Beijing for the autumn imperial examination rushed to the "Zhenxiu Tower" upon hearing about this.

In a short time, "Zhenxiulou" became popular.

Some come for the test questions, some come for the fun, and some come to try the delicious food.

The ground floor of "Zhenxiulou" is designed as an open hall.

There was a platform in the middle of the hall.

There are more than a dozen test questions hanging high on the table, and this is just a part of them.

If someone answered one of the questions correctly, a guy would go up and take it down and put up a new one.

The second floor of "Zhenxiulou" is made into private rooms on all four sides.

From each private room, you can see the situation in the lobby on the first floor directly through the window.

Many ladies from wealthy families directly booked the private rooms on the second floor.

While eating, I watched the students downstairs answering questions.

There were simple test questions, and as soon as they were taken out, students immediately came forward to answer them.

The waiter would hit the drum on the side of the stage and shout, "If so-and-so solves one of the questions, today's purchase will be free!"

Then, the student was handed a silk flower and given a free number plate.

Because the test questions are hung randomly, there are always many students surrounding the stage.

However, there are more and more difficult problems left on the stage.

There are even questions that require you to write a policy essay within a limited time.

The question that took the longest time to answer was "Yellow Flowers Like Scattered Gold", which required students to compose a fu poem.

Many people answered the question, but no one got it right.

On this day, Zhao Jingyan hosted a banquet for his good classmates.

He chose the location at the "Jiuweifang" restaurant.

The classmate that Zhao Jingyan wanted to invite to the banquet was named Song Liang, and he was the son of the Dali Temple Minister.

Because Zhao Jingyan was eloquent and well-educated, he was often praised by the teacher in the Imperial College, and Song Liang was willing to make friends with him.

The two of them were walking together, and when they were about to enter "Jiuweifang", they saw that the newly opened restaurant opposite was crowded with people.

However, "Jiuweifang", which was once bustling with people, is now deserted.

Zhao Jingyan was embarrassed for a moment. The "Jiuweifang" restaurant was Shen Yunchu's dowry, and it was also one of the few large restaurants in Shangjing.

Originally, treating guests here was a very honorable thing, but now it made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Why don't we go to the other side and take a look?" Song Liang suggested kindly.

"Oh, okay." Zhao Jingyan touched the silver in his sleeve.

"Please come in, gentlemen." A waiter ran out and greeted them.

"Hey, man, why are there so many people gathered here?" Song Liang was very curious.

"Is this your first time here, sir? We have test questions from teachers from various colleges in our store. If you answer them correctly, you can get a free meal." The waiter said with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Song, Brother Zhao, you are here too?"

As the two approached, an acquaintance came over to say hello.

When the two looked around, they found that there were many familiar faces, almost all the students from the Imperial College were there.

Everyone was discussing the test questions on the stage.

"I think the five-character one is easier to understand. What do you think?"

"Why has no one ever gotten the answer to 'Yellow Flowers Like Scattered Gold' right? Doesn't it look pretty simple?"

"You are ignorant, aren't you? That question is the most difficult one here, except for the policy essay."

"That's right, there are many people who answered, but no one got it right."

"No one answered that policy paper, mainly because the time limit was difficult to answer."

Zhao Jingyan was browsing the test questions on the stage while listening to the discussions of the people around him.

He suddenly had an idea and squeezed next to the waiter, "You said, if I answer correctly, the bill will be free?"

"Of course, if you answer correctly, you will get a number plate and all your consumption for the day will be free."

Zhao Jingyan pointed at the question "Yellow Flowers Like Scattered Gold" and said, "I want to answer that question."
