Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue led the four maids around her and booked a private room facing the street in Wangyue Tower, ready to watch the announcement of today's results. While drinking tea, she looked through the window at the bustling crowd downstairs. Today was the day for the announcement of the results, and there were more and more people on the street, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Su Yue was full of anticipation and curiosity. She wanted to know what the scene of the No. 1 scholar parading in this era would be like. At the same time, she was very puzzled by the strange custom of "catching a son-in-law under the list". In ancient times, marriage was so casual that people could be caught and married just by being on the list, without even knowing the other person's character, family background, etc. It was simply a gamble.

Su Yue couldn't help but think, do these people really think that passing the imperial examination will make them a good son-in-law? Although the exam can screen out top students, they are not necessarily people of high moral character! Moreover, even if the son-in-law is successfully selected, both parties have their own motives: one party hopes to gain connections and resources through marriage, while the other party attempts to cling to the powerful and take shortcuts. This behavior is no different from gambling, and both parties have a gambler mentality, only thinking about winning, but not the consequences of losing.

However, Su Yue also understood that for those candidates without background, it might be a helpless move to find a son-in-law. After all, in ancient society, marriage was often regarded as an important bond of family interests. But in any case, this method cannot be a reliable way to find a good son-in-law. Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but sigh at the madness and blindness of the ancients, and at the same time was glad that she lived in modern society and had more freedom to choose her partner.

Taozi came over to serve Su Yue tea and snacks, and then ran to the window to see when the parade of the top scholar would begin. Taozi once again walked from the window to Su Yue's table to pour tea for her and said, "Princess, do you think the third young master will pass the exam?"

Su Yue drank her tea quietly, not feeling nervous or anxious about Taozi's question. She smiled and replied, "Why are you in such a hurry? The parade of the top scholar is preceded by a gong. It's still in time to wait until you hear the sound and then go over to see. Why are you running around like this?"

Taozi smiled a little embarrassedly after hearing Su Yue's words, but still couldn't help asking: "But, Princess, aren't you in a hurry? If the third young master wins the first place in the imperial examination, then you will be the wife of the first place in the imperial examination!"

Su Yue shook her head slightly, with a faint smile on her face, as if she didn't care about this identity. She said: "If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. I believe everything will happen naturally. We just need to wait patiently."

After saying that, Su Yue continued to quietly taste the fragrant tea in her hand, enjoying the tranquility and comfort of the moment.

At this moment, a loud gong sound came from afar, and Taozi shouted excitedly, "Princess, it's started!" Su Yue slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the street. She saw a grand parade coming towards this side, led by a young man riding a tall horse. He was wearing brocade clothes and a red flower on his chest. He was obviously this year's top scholar. Taozi excitedly pulled Su Yue's sleeve, "Princess, look, isn't that the third young master?"

Su Yue looked closely and her heart was moved. She saw that the champion was riding a tall and mighty horse, looking heroic and vigorous. The runner-up and third place winners following closely behind him were also riding big horses, looking heroic and valiant. The three of them were wearing similar clothes, but the patterns on the champion and third place winners' robes seemed to be larger than those of the runner-up, making them look more gorgeous. Due to the distance, Su Yue could not tell who they were. She could only vaguely see that the three were young and handsome, with similar looks and difficult to recognize.

Su Yue smiled slightly, comforted Taozi who was very excited beside her, and said: "Don't worry, let's wait a little longer, we can see clearly when they get closer." As the parade gradually approached Wangyue Tower, the face of the champion became more and more clear in front of everyone. Su Yue stared at him closely, and couldn't help sighing in her heart. This champion was indeed born with a good appearance, sword eyebrows, star eyes, and a dignified demeanor. He was indeed a rare handsome man. However, she did not know this person, and was not sure whether he was Qin Yi.

At this time, many young girls threw down their purses, hairpins and other items in the hope of attracting the attention of the No. 1 scholar. At this moment, the guards in front shouted loudly: "The No. 1 scholar is Xie He!" Then, someone else shouted: "The No. 2 scholar is Yang Ancheng!" Finally, the crowd cheered: "The No. 3 scholar is Qin Yi!"

Hearing this name, Taozi's face flushed with excitement. She grabbed Su Yue's sleeve tightly and said excitedly: "Princess, it's the Third Young Master! The Third Young Master is the top scorer in the high school entrance examination! Come and take a look, isn't the Third Young Master the most handsome among the three?"

Su Yue looked at the three people who came over, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Sure enough, Qin Yi is the most handsome!" She secretly thought that Qin Yi was not only the most handsome among the three people, but even if he was placed in the entire examination room, no one could compare with him, right? If it weren't for his outstanding appearance, perhaps he should be the champion! Looking at the champion again, he was also good-looking, but compared with Qin Yi, he seemed too ordinary. As for the runner-up, standing next to Qin Yi, he could be described as ugly. But then again, the appearance of the candidates who can enter the palace examination will naturally not be too bad, after all, regular facial features are also a basic requirement. But Qin Yi is really too beyond the standard...

At this time, Su Yue heard a familiar voice, it was Lu Anruo's voice, she was shouting "Third cousin" while walking towards this side. Su Yue looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a group of girls surrounding Lu Anruo walking over, some of them holding exquisite purses in their hands, waving them at Qin Yi, and muttering: "Third cousin, third cousin..."

Su Yue couldn't help but sigh, these girls are really like the girls who chased stars in the previous life! However, these ancient girls are still relatively reserved. They only dare to wave and throw purses, and they haven't reached the point of going crazy to grab hands.

Su Yue was in a good mood, but when she saw the looks those girls gave Qin Yi, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of blockage in her heart.

Su Yue was a little confused. She didn't know if her mentality had changed after she and Qin Yi became a real couple. She began to worry about gains and losses, and her possessiveness towards Qin Yi became stronger. She really didn't like seeing too many insignificant people around Qin Yi.

Su Yue didn't like her current state of mind, but she didn't know how to change it, so she said uninterested: "Let's go back first. When there are more people, it will be difficult to leave."

When Taozi and the others heard this, they all looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces. They couldn't understand why the Third Young Master was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but Su Yue didn't seem happy. Was it because the Third Young Master didn't get the top scholar? But they felt that the young lady was not like this usually! Several people could only look at each other helplessly and smile bitterly, silently packing up their things and preparing to return with Su Yue.
