After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

Gu An did not take the imperial examination because he knew he was not cut out for it. The only people who took the examination were Chen Jiuchuan and He Linyuan.

After not seeing each other for several months, Chen Jiuchuan seemed relieved. At least on the surface, he was the same as before, and he was not so embarrassed when looking at Jin Yuanyuan.

The two of them tacitly agreed to pretend that what happened that day had never happened.

"Since you are all here, I have to get a good rank in the exam."

Jin Yuanyuan looked at them and encouraged them, "Come on, don't feel pressured. You are the smartest among us and you will definitely pass the exam. Even if you don't, there is still next year. We are young and can afford it."

The two nodded and listened to her very well. With her words, they relaxed visibly.

Watching them enter the Imperial Examination Hall, Jin Yuanyuan and Gu An Jianing found a teahouse to drink tea.

Jianing looked at the prosperity outside, thinking of something, and felt restless.

"Yuanyuan, do you want to go somewhere other than Kyoto? I wonder what the scenery outside is like."

Jin Yuanyuan took a bite of the cake and said, "We've been to Zhuangzi before. When you got married, you also went to Lin County to play. Haven't you had enough fun?"

They had a crazy time during those few days. They visited the small county town all over and bought a carriage full of things. Jianing looked like he was still not satisfied.

Jianing was a little embarrassed. "Maybe it's because he hasn't been outside much since he was born, so he's particularly yearning for the outside world. Gu An also wants to go out."

Gu An nodded in agreement, "Yes, I also want to go out, but I don't know where to go. Yuanyuan, do you have any place to recommend?"

Jin Yuanyuan thought about it and thought of a good place to go. "If you want to talk about a special and interesting place, it's the Western Regions. Sister Liyada wrote to me a few days ago and asked me to go to their hometown to play."

Liyada is now the king of the Western Regions. She is resourceful and good at strategy. In just a few years, she has greatly changed the Western Regions. Now, the Western Regions are exchanged with the Central Plains and she has sought a bright future for her people.

When Jin Yuanyuan learned that she had become king, she was extremely shocked.

In a previous letter, she mentioned that although the people in the Western Regions were open-minded, the kings were all men and there had never been a woman.

The fact that Liyada was able to fight her way out of a group of men shows how much effort she put in.

She really wanted to see what the country she founded where a woman was the king was like.

After hearing Jin Yuanyuan's words, Jianing was very excited.

"Are you going? If you are, don't forget to take me and Gu An with you."

Gu An nodded, "Yuanyuan, you must take us with you."

Jin Yuanyuan also wanted to go, but she had a lot of things to deal with. If she went to the Western Regions, she might not be able to come back for a year. Now that she and Gu An were gone, there was no one to take care of the store, so she had to make some careful plans.

After He Linyuan and Chen Jiuchuan finished their exams and the list came out, they both ranked first.

Seeing their names being called out in the first-class row, they both smiled brightly, almost grinning from ear to ear.

Chen Jiuchuan excitedly pulled Gu An's hand and said, "Gu An, look, I'm in the first class, first class!"

He was not a good student when he was young. In order to catch up with He Linyuan, he studied very hard. Unexpectedly, it really worked.

But he felt a sense of loss in his heart. He glanced at Jin Yuanyuan inadvertently and then turned his head away.

He Linyuan also looked at Jin Yuanyuan, not knowing what he was thinking.

The five of them celebrated at Jiuanyuan and talked about their childhood. They were so happy today that they all got drunk.

Jin Yuanyuan fell drunk on the table, his face as red as a red apple, and he was muttering to himself.

"Hey, cheers, drink! Don't go home until you're drunk."

He Linyuan also drank a lot, but he was the only sober one.

Even Jianing drank too much. After marrying Gu An, he became more and more casual, no longer bound by those rules, and became his own person.

She had never dared to think about getting drunk before, but now with Gu An, Yuan Yuan and the others around, she could get drunk without any worries.

Jin Yuanyuan held the jar of wine and thought it was Jianing. She pouted and looked very melancholy.

"Jia Ning, don't worry. When we go to the Western Regions, that will be our territory. Sister Liyada is the king now, the great king! We can walk sideways!"

Jianing hugged Gu An, unconsciously, and mistook him for Jin Yuanyuan, smiling foolishly in the same way.

"That's great, Yuanyuan, you're so awesome. I'll just follow you and be able to get by in the future! Hahahaha, but Yuanyuan, how did you become so strong?"

She pinched Gu An's arm and felt that Yuanyuan's arm had become fatter. She wanted to ask her what good things she had secretly eaten to make her so strong.

Several people were helped into the carriage by servants and prepared to go home.

He Linyuan supported Jin Yuanyuan. He hesitated for a moment in front of the Jin family's carriage, and said something as if he was trying to cover his ears and steal a bell, fearing that others would misunderstand him.

"Well... there are too many people in the carriage. Let Yuanyuan take my carriage."

Everyone was paying attention to Gu An and the others, and no one listened to what he said. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, He Linyuan helped Jin Yuanyuan to sit in his carriage.

When Jin Yuanyuan went in, her head was almost tilted to a right angle, and she looked uncomfortable.

Looking at the person lying in the carriage, He Linyuan had no choice but to straighten her up.

"Yuanyuan, sit still. Your neck will hurt if you sit crookedly."

As soon as he pulled, Jin Yuanyuan fell into his arms like a weak shrimp.

I changed into a comfortable lying position and felt nothing.

He Linyuan's heart seemed to be out of control and was beating faster and faster.

He held her shoulders to prevent her from falling to the ground.

But this was no different from hugging her. He was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his feet, and the redness from his ears spread to his face.

He could see her face as soon as he lowered his head. Her eyelashes were long and thick. She was even more adorable when she closed her eyes. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.

Jin Yuanyuan felt her face itchy and raised her hand to wipe it.

He Linyuan was frightened and immediately retracted his hand. Thinking of what Jianing had just said, he looked down at her and spoke in an unspeakably gentle voice.

"Yuanyuan, do you... do you want to go to the Western Regions?"

Jin Yuanyuan seemed to have heard his words and nodded slightly, "Yes, the Western Regions, hehe, I want to go to the Western Regions to play."

He Linyuan seemed to be lost in thought and was absent-minded all the way.

When they arrived at the general's mansion, he shook her, and seeing that she was not awake, he prepared to carry her out of the carriage.

He adjusted his sitting position and prepared to hug her. When he moved, Jin Yuanyuan, who was leaning on him, fell towards He Linyuan because of her weak body. Her lips happened to touch He Linyuan's.

His body froze in mid-air and he was directly controlled.

My heart was beating like a drum, and my brain was setting off fireworks.

Seeing that they hadn't come back yet, Cheng Che became a little anxious. When he got to the door, he saw that they were all drunk.

Yuanyuan hadn't gotten off yet, so he quickly walked to He Linyuan's carriage, ready to pick Jin Yuanyuan up.
