Gu Zhiyin opened her eyes, tilted her head back and looked at Fu Yunjing with a dazed look.

"Fu Yunjing, you..."

Is he expressing his feelings to her?

Gu Zhiyin was speechless for a moment, but the calm lake of her heart seemed to be gently brushed by a feather, causing shallow ripples.

"If you don't believe me, I'm willing to sign a written agreement. If I regret it one day, I will be expelled from the Fu family." After thinking about it, Fu Yunjing felt that this oath was wrong: "This won't work. If my father and grandmother get excited and favor me, they will definitely not be willing to expel me from the family, and you will lose. Then I will give you all the wealth of the Fu family and make the Fu family a pauper. If you are still worried, ask the queen mother to be a witness. The queen mother loves you so much, she will definitely not let me go, and then she can also take away my father's throne and my fame."

Gu Zhiyin listened to his mumbling, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

You are really your father's great son.

Fu Yunjing's straightforward words hit Gu Zhiyin's heart hard. She was shocked, but also felt a little sweet.

Gu Zhiyin pursed her lips and gently took Fu Yunjing's hand.

"it is good."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's whisper, but it reached Fu Yunjing's ears very clearly.

When Fu Yunjing heard the answer he had been anxiously awaiting, his dark pupils suddenly shrank, followed by a burst of cheerful laughter, so wanton and ostentatious that it aroused the curiosity of those around him.

The laughter reached the second floor of Yunjian Teahouse, where many daughters of wealthy families gathered.

The eldest daughter of the Hanlin scholar hosted a party and invited the young ladies she was familiar with to have tea and to watch the grand parade of the top three candidates in the Spring Examination.

Liu Zhenzhen was also there, with her friend Li Yanran sitting next to her.

Zhao Anrou has been keen on making friends with young ladies from various families ever since she came to the capital. Taking advantage of the fact that she is the daughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, she also came today.

"What did the Princess say to make Prince Ming so happy?" A young lady from an official family stuck her head out of the window and asked curiously.

"No matter what is said, the eldest daughter of the Gu family is now in the limelight. Who could have thought that the playboy who was the least optimistic about her at the beginning would now become the top scorer in the imperial examination, a new noble in the court, and a prince of a royal mansion. Her status is even more noble and she has a bright future." Another person said enviously.

Liu Zhenzhen said with a proud look on her face: "That's also because Sister Gu is blessed and has a good husband. Otherwise, how could Prince Ming have changed his ways?"

When she spoke, naturally no one dared to refute her.

"Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen, look at the third place winner."

Liu Zhenzhen's attention was immediately attracted by Li Yanran.

Some people looked outside curiously, and the parade was slowly passing by in front of them.

At this time, a charming voice with a smile sounded: "Miss Liu is right. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Ming kept a concubine and caused a stir in the capital, Gu Zhiyin would not have been able to enter the gate of Prince Pingyang's Palace with her family background."

When these words were spoken, many people showed embarrassed expressions.

Although it is true, it sounds sour.

"Who the hell do you think you are? You're here to bully others in a sarcastic way. Do you think we are fools and can't hear the sarcasm in your words?" Liu Zhenzhen didn't even look at the third place winner. She slammed the table and pointed at Zhao Anrou and cursed angrily.

Zhao Anrou was startled and said hurriedly: "Miss Liu, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to mock you."

"Pah!" Liu Zhenzhen rolled her eyes without disguising, "Wu Nianjiao, the threshold for holding a banquet is so low nowadays, you bring all kinds of shabby things here, you treat us as a garbage collection place."

Zhao Anrou's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Liu Zhenzhen with anger in her eyes but didn't dare to flare up: "Miss Liu, how did I offend you that you have to humiliate me like this."

Isn’t it just that my aunt is the queen?

Her great aunt is the current empress dowager.

Was she wrong? Gu Zhiyin came from an ordinary family, but she was also liked by the Queen Mother. She even treated her as an equal and called her grandmother.

And he is the Prince of Ming.

The handsome and high-spirited young man riding on the horse is enough to make you fall in love with him at first sight.

Do you think Gu Zhiyin is worthy of it?

Wu Nianjiao glanced at Zhao Anrou, then hurried to Liu Zhenzhen and said soothingly, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Can you please give me some face today? She is the cousin of the Xie family."

It's only because of the Xie family's status that they have support, otherwise who would care about Zhao Anrou.

You don't think before you speak. Even if you don't know that Liu Zhenzhen and Gu Zhiyin have a good relationship, no matter how poor her family background is, she is now the princess of a county prince and the wife of the top scholar in the imperial examination. How can you slander her so casually?

In the future, she would have to think carefully about whether to invite Zhao Anrou to her banquets.

"I don't care whose cousin she is, tell her to get lost."

Wu Nianjiao was about to cry, but Zhao Anrou felt a little unhappy in her heart, and looked at Li Yanran with a look of help.

The two of them are close friends, and Li Yanran's words are more effective than his own.

Li Yanran received the request for help, pulled Liu Zhenzhen's sleeve, and whispered, "That's the cousin of the third place winner. Didn't you just want to find out about Xie Jichuan?"

The implication is that if you really like someone, you should at least give your cousin some face so that you can meet her in the future.

Liu Zhenzhen's expression cracked when she heard this: "..."

After a while, she said, "People of the same family are alike. My cousin is disgusting, so how can the third place winner be any better? If she doesn't leave, I will."

Anyone who dares to play tricks on Sister Gu is her enemy.

Even the third place winner is useless.

Having said that, Liu Zhenzhen stood up and left.

Li Yanran gave Wu Nianjiao a helpless look.

Wu Nianjiao suddenly felt hopeless. Liu Zhenzhen left with a cold face today, and she would never be able to hang around in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing from now on.

Everyone knows that the Duke and Duchess of Huguo dote on their daughter excessively. It is true that the Xie family has a relationship with the Queen Mother, but Liu Zhenzhen doesn't even give a good face to the real daughter of the Qin family, let alone this cousin who is beating around the bush. What's more, Zhao Anrou's words are indeed sarcastic. Not to mention what kind of blame the Pingyang Palace will bring if these words are spread to the Pingyang Palace, even if that doesn't happen, Zhao Anrou's behavior is also disliked.

When they couldn't understand the meaning of her words.

After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and walked towards Zhao Anrou: "Ms. Zhao, Miss Liu is angry. If the quarrel continues, it may not look good for everyone. Why don't you go back first and meet again later."

The blatant order to leave made Zhao Anrou so angry that her face turned blue. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly and turned away under the strange gazes of everyone.

No one spoke to keep her.

Sooner or later, she will return the humiliation she suffered today.

Zhao Anrou thought hatefully.

At the gate of Prince Pingyang's mansion, the old princess ordered servants to bring a few baskets of copper coins and distribute wedding money to passers-by at the door. Then there were dozens of long strings of firecrackers, which made Fu Zheng and others so crowded that they couldn't even get into the house.

In the end, Fu Yunjing rode his horse back home, and everyone spontaneously made way for him. They looked at the newly crowned number one scholar excitedly, and congratulations were heard everywhere.

"It's quite glorious, number one scholar!" Gu Zhiyin glanced at the crowd and said with a smile.

Fu Yunjing curled his lips, and the fragmented sunlight fell into his eyes, rippling with a faint golden light: "It's the same for you, Madam No. 1 Scholar!"
