Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue led a few maids and slowly got on the carriage, away from the noisy crowd, and embarked on the journey home. In the carriage, Su Yue leaned against the carriage quietly, thinking about a thousand things. She couldn't help but start thinking about a question: Have I fallen in love with Qin Yi?

In the past, Qin Yi was just a useful tool in her eyes, and she would only think of him when she needed his help, but now she longed for more attention and respect from Qin Yi. Is this what love is? Su Yue couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

Recalling the pain of love she had experienced in her previous life, Su Yue sighed deeply. She had been hurt too much, so she was unwilling to fall in love easily. However, what could she do in this era? She knew clearly that with her current status, she could not really get involved in the business field. Therefore, for a woman, the most effective ability is to be good at using people.

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel worried. Those people who were eyeing Qin Yi must think that she was a stumbling block in their pursuit of Qin Yi. After all, her current identity was Princess Mingyue, and they could no longer treat her as they did with ordinary merchant girls in the past.

So, how can she avoid being eliminated? The only way is to prove her worth to the world. But does she really understand her worth? In the past, when she was still a merchant, her greatest advantage was her wealth. But now? What else is there to be praised about her? And what is the value that is indispensable to her?

Su Yue frowned slightly, bit her lips, and her mind was full of thoughts. She knew that to gain a foothold in this world, she had to find her own unique value, a value that Qin Yi and everyone else could not despise. She knew that for Qin Yi, the love net might be the most effective, but she couldn't figure out how to weave Qin Yi into her love net for a while. Thinking about it, this era is really not as easy as imagined. Although Su Yue has seen many things that don't exist in this era, and there are also business models, it is really not something that can be used under the rules of this era. It is really difficult to integrate the rules of this era. Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and her mood became low. Forget it, just let it go and live every day well.

At this time, Qin Yi was riding on the road, his eyes scanning the crowds on both sides of the road who came to watch their parade. Suddenly, he seemed to see Taozi's figure flash by. When he looked carefully, he only saw Su Yue's back as she got on the carriage and left. He was filled with joy because he was very happy that Su Yue came to watch him parade. However, at the same time, he was also a little confused. Why didn't Su Yue stay a little longer? Was there something that made her leave in a hurry?

As time went by, the sun gradually set in the west, and the light became softer. Qin Yi and others rode horses in the streets, attracting many people to watch and cheer. They enjoyed the glory and pride of this moment, but also felt a sense of responsibility and pressure. After the parade, they went to attend the Qionglin Banquet, a banquet specially held for new Jinshi.

At the Qionglin Banquet, everyone congratulated each other and exchanged their experiences. Among them, Xie He, the grandson of Prime Minister Xie, is already 24 years old this year. He is handsome, elegant, and talented, and can be said to be a model of young and promising people. The runner-up Yang Ancheng is from Anyang, his family is poor, his personality is introverted and honest, and he gives people the impression of a nerd.

Everyone came forward to congratulate the top three, and Qin Yi inevitably drank a few more glasses of wine. However, he was not drunk, just a little tipsy. When he returned to the mansion, he first went to the front yard to greet his father, and then went to Zhichun Courtyard to visit his mother.

When Qin Yi entered the room, he was surprised to find that it was full of people. Qin Jiaojiao saw him coming in and shouted excitedly: "Third brother, congratulations on winning the third place!" Others also congratulated Qin Yi. Qin Yi smiled and responded one by one, and thanked everyone. Then, he walked to his mother and asked with concern whether everything was okay at home.

Mother Qin smiled and nodded, indicating that everything was fine.

Qin Yi didn't see Su Yue, and thought that Su Yue didn't come, so he felt a little disappointed, but soon he calmed down. At this time, the Lu family also came, and they all congratulated Qin Yi. When Lu Anruo saw Qin Yi, he hurriedly said, "Third cousin, congratulations! You are so majestic today!" Qin Yi smiled and responded, "My cousin is too polite, it's all because of everyone's kindness." Lu Anruo blinked and asked curiously, "Third cousin, did you see me when you were parading?" Qin Yi shook his head and replied, "There were too many people on the street at that time, and I didn't notice it."

Xie Nanqiao also stepped forward to congratulate Qin Yi. The second wife smiled and said, "Xie Zhou also made it to the second place, and Yang's nephew also made it to the second place. Our family is really having a happy event! We should hold a good banquet to celebrate, right, sister-in-law?" The Marquis' wife nodded and said, "Yes, our family is really blessed by our ancestors. Everyone is on the list. We have to choose a good day to go to the temple to fulfill our wish."

After Qin Yi talked with everyone for a while, he returned to Yunxiao Courtyard. When he walked into the yard, he found Su Yue sleeping on the bed. Qin Yi slowly walked to the bed and looked at her, with a tender feeling in his heart. He felt that he was really lucky recently. Not only did he experience the wedding night, but now he has passed the imperial examination. It can be said that his life is perfect.

He gently stroked Su Yue's cheek and felt her steady breathing. He thought, how nice it would be if he could always watch her sleep like this. However, he knew that now was not the right time because he still had a lot of things to deal with. So, he quietly left the room, leaving Su Yue to continue sleeping peacefully.

After Qin Yi left the room, he went to the study and began to think about his future. He knew that winning the third place was just the beginning, and he needed to work harder to make a difference in the officialdom.

At the same time, Su Yue vaguely heard Qin Yi's voice in her sleep. She opened her eyes dazedly and found that she was the only one in the room. She sat up and recalled what she had seen and heard today, and a feeling of happiness rose in her heart.
