Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Miss Cui fell to the ground, gasping in pain. Where did this bandit come from? !

Ah, no, it’s Bai Zhanyang, the heir of Jiangnan Bai family. He is very handsome and also good at playing games.

Miss Cui stepped back subconsciously, "You two are a pair of adulterers..."

"Pa pa." After a few slaps, the face of every member of the Cui family was swollen, without exception.

Now, it's finally quiet.

The Cui family looked at Bai Zhanyang in fear and trepidation, "Bai Zhanyang, you are just a commoner, how dare you hit us?"

Bai Zhanyang was very impatient. "Your Cui family has been defeated, your property has been confiscated, and you have all been arrested. Why don't you behave yourself? How dare you beat the current county lord in public? Are you dissatisfied with the empress's will?"

The Cui family members turned pale with fear. They didn't think too much about it. "Don't talk nonsense. We didn't do that."

Bai Zhanyang yelled, "Get lost! If I see you bullying her again, I will definitely visit your parents-in-law and ask them how they discipline their daughter-in-law."

The faces of the women in the Cui family changed drastically and they ran away quickly.

Cui Yanxi let out a long breath, tidied up her messy hair and clothes, and bowed, "Thank you, cousin."

Bai Zhanyang showed a kind smile, "We are a family, why should we be polite?"

Cui Yanxi did not comment on this statement. Even her closest relatives wanted to harm her, let alone her cousin. She could no longer trust anyone.

Of course, the emperor is an exception. She is a very gentle and powerful person.

Bai Zhanyang saw through her thoughts at a glance and explained softly, "I heard that something happened to the Cui family. I was a little worried, so I came to see you. I didn't expect you to be bullied. You should pack your luggage and come live with me in the mansion."

Cui Yanxi didn't want to be controlled by anyone anymore. Once she entered the backyard, things would become difficult to say.

"Thank you for your kindness, cousin, but it's not necessary. Once the Xiangjun Mansion is repaired, you can move in."

It was a three-story house, very close to Nuhou Lane, with a nice environment, and she liked it very much.

Bai Zhanyang looked at her deeply. After not seeing her for three years, this cousin has become smarter.

"You... do you hate my father and me?"

Cui Yanxi lowered her eyes, "I dare not."

When her mother was alive, the relationship between the two families was good and they sent each other holiday gifts. But after her mother passed away, she never saw the Bai family again, and the letters she sent for help received no response. She knew that the Bai family had given up on her.

Bai Zhanyang sighed softly, "Hey, it's not that father doesn't want to help you, but Lord Cui doesn't like people saying that his wife is from a merchant family, and he doesn't like seeing us father and son, and even... he ordered people to trip us up and almost confiscated our property and exterminated our clan."

Cui Yanxi was stunned, "I don't know any of this."

Bai Zhanyang looked helpless, "There are too many things you don't know. In order to save your life, my father gave Lord Cui a lot of good things."

Cui Yanxi was half-believing and half-doubting. Her biological father was indeed a piece of shit, but was he really that bad?

Bai Zhanyang glanced at the sky and said, "It's this late, I'll treat my cousin to a meal."

"This..." Cui Yanxi hesitated, not wanting to be alone with a stranger.

But, he had just saved her, and it would be too heartless to refuse him outright.

Just when I was trying to find a reasonable excuse to push it away, a voice rang out, "Tiao Huaxiangjun, are you okay?"

Cui Yanxi looked up suddenly. It was Mo Yichen and Wu An. They were both dressed in scholar's clothes and were holding a few books in a very elegant manner.

"I'm fine, thank you."

Mo Yichen looked at the bruises on her cheeks and frowned slightly. It was obvious that she had been beaten. "Who is this?"

Cui Yanxi introduced softly, "My cousin, the eldest son of the Jiangnan Bai family, Bai Zhanyang."

"This is Master Mo Yichen, and this is Master Wuan."

Bai Zhanyang looked at them and asked, "Are you two students going to Beijing to take the imperial examination?"

Mo Yichen nodded slightly, "Yes, Mr. Bai, nice to meet you."

Wu An also bowed and greeted him.

There were three examinations in total, each lasting three days. They had already finished the first one and were waiting for the results.

Only if you pass can you continue to take the exam.

Bai Zhanyang was very enthusiastic, "I'll invite you all to have a meal at Phoenix Tower."

Phoenix Tower again? The three of them looked at each other and exchanged glances.

In the private room on the second floor of Phoenix Tower, Bai Zhanyang ordered a table full of delicious dishes and urged people to drink with a smile on his face.

He is good at socializing and handling affairs. Soon the atmosphere became harmonious and everyone was treating each other like brothers and being friendly and affectionate.

As we chatted, we talked about what happened that day.

Bai Zhanyang was filled with emotion after hearing this. "So that's how it is. The emperor is so gracious. Thanks to the emperor's help, my cousin's life was saved. Fortunately, the emperor is such a good man, kind and generous."

"Cousin, you must remember the emperor's kindness."

"Of course." Cui Yanxi has already made up her mind that she will serve the emperor like a slave for the rest of her life to repay her great kindness.

Bai Zhanyang rolled his eyes a few times and had a general understanding of Ning Zhiwei's personality.

Then, he changed the subject. "You two are both well-mannered and have good temperaments. You will definitely be admitted to the university."

Everyone was drunk and their faces were red. Wu An said, "Don't worry, this year's candidates are full of talented people."

Bai Zhanyang smiled and said, "My judgment of people is never wrong. You can definitely do it."

As we were chatting, we went off topic. "By the way, when will the emperor confer the title of the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards?"

Mo Yichen and Wu An were sobered up from their drunkenness, "What?"

Cui Yanxi also looked at him strangely.

Bai Zhanyang acted as if it was normal. "The emperors of previous dynasties all had three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. How could the empress only marry one person? Right?"

Wu An wanted to rush over and cover his mouth, "Uh, it's not good to say such things."

"I mean, if there is such an opportunity, you can try it."

Cui Yanxi raised her head subconsciously. He has this intention? No way?

Although the two cousins ​​didn't meet often, she still knew the Bai family very well.

How should I put it? Profits come first in everything.

Even though the head of the Bai family was extremely dissatisfied with the family division plan back then, he did not dare to get angry because Mrs. Bai married into the Cui family and her husband was a high-ranking official in the court.

Right now, entering the palace and becoming the emperor's husband can indeed maximize benefits, with the least investment and the greatest return.

"No, no, no. I just want to focus on the imperial examinations. I just want to be a good official." Wu An waved his hands. He only admired and looked up to the empress and did not dare to have any unrealistic fantasies.

That is an unattainable god!

Mo Yichen looked at Bai Zhanyang deeply and said, "With pearls and jade in front of us, it is hard to stop them."

Outside the door, a tall figure stopped and listened.

The more he listened, the uglier his expression became.

The person following behind him was a little confused and asked in a low voice, "Master Xiao, what's wrong?"

Xiao Linfeng's expression was cold and scary. "Go check who's in there?"
