Whose child is I pregnant with?

Xiaodie walked to the carriage with her head down and got on with gritted teeth.

Yun Wanying sighed, "Alas, it's just a third place. Although it's a pity, it's still worthy of my ability."

Xiaodie stammered and told the truth, "Miss, your ranking is tenth."

It was like a slap in the face of Yun Wanying, and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

The first place in the palace examination is called "Zhuangyuan", the second place is called "Bangyan", and the third place is called "Tanhua". She thought she was at least third place, but she didn't expect to be tenth place!

She got off the carriage unwillingly, stood behind the crowd, looked up and saw Li Jinglan's name.

Li Jinglan was her defeated opponent in the joint examination, so how could he be ranked so much higher than her in the palace examination?

She looked at Xia Nishang's ranking again, ninth!

Those two are ranked higher than her?

It seems that the emperor's vision is not very good.

Then, she set her sights on the names of the top two candidates.

Her pupils dilated. Luo Mingchuan was actually the new top scorer, and Liu Ximing was the runner-up.

It is normal for Luo Mingchuan, the most talented man in Jiangzhou, to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. But she is the most talented woman in Jiangnan, but she only ranked tenth. Isn’t it strange?

Yun Wanying looked unhappy and left, twisting her handkerchief.

Someone in the crowd said behind Luo Mingchuan: "Mr. Luo is indeed the most talented person in Jiangzhou!"

Liu Ximing smiled and congratulated Luo Mingchuan who was not far away from him. Luo Mingchuan bowed and left.

The smile on Liu Ximing's face froze. What an arrogant Luo Mingchuan.

It is still uncertain which of them will have a smoother career in the future!

Not far away, Ye Hanting passed by here in a carriage.

Chi Yan sighed and said, "Master, Miss Wanying is ranked tenth. Will she be happy?"

“It all depends on one’s ability.” Ye Hanting answered casually.

Emperor Qingyuan asked him to look at the answer sheets of three female candidates.

Li Jinglan has a broad vision and great literary talent, which directly crushes both Xia Nishang and Yun Wanying. There is no comparison between them at all.

Xia Nishang's answer was average, with some insights, but it was too narrow-minded.

Yun Wanying can compose poems and lyrics on weekdays, but her views on court affairs are quite superficial.

For some reason, Prime Minister Jiang proposed that the top ten candidates should attend the court meeting tomorrow. He didn't hear it clearly. Perhaps Prime Minister Jiang had other intentions.

Originally, Yun Wanying's ranking was higher than that of Emperor Qingyuan.

However, he was also worried that the ministers would discover his selfish motives, so he made Yun Wanying the tenth.

However, based on Yun Wanying's true strength, she can only barely make it into the top 30.

Chi Yan shook his head and said, "They say a man with talent and a woman with beauty is good enough!"

"Do you think she is pretty?" Ye Hanting played with the folding fan in his hand and looked outside the car.

Chi Yan nodded, "Of course, Miss Wanying is the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan!"

Ye Hanting suddenly caught a glimpse of Chu Li sitting in the teahouse. He smiled faintly and sneered, "Chi Yan, wash your eyes when you have time."

Chi Yan narrowed his eyes, twisted his eyebrows into knots, and protested: "Master, I have the aesthetic taste of a normal man!"

Ye Hanting retracted his gaze and reminded Chi Yan, which was also a reminder to himself, "Investigate the case carefully and don't think about anything else."

"Yes, master." Chi Yan became obedient when it came to business.

In the teahouse, Chu Li closed the window and Liu Chuang came in wearing a veiled hat.

"Your Highness, long time no see." Liu Chuang took off his veil and grinned.

Chu Li motioned for him to sit down. Liu Chuang rested his hands on his legs and asked, "Prince, are you going to treat me to tea today?"

Chu Li smiled slightly, "I'll treat you to tea this time, and wine next time."

Liu Chuang's smile deepened, and he said cheerfully, "Your Highness, you are my savior, so don't be polite. If you have any problem, just tell me directly. I, Liu Chuang, will definitely help you if I can!"

"That's great!" Chu Li raised his teacup, "I do have a favor to ask of you."

Liu Chuang raised his teacup and drank it all. "Don't mention one thing, even if it's a hundred things, I'll agree to them all!"

He pricked up his ears and listened quietly to Chu Li's words.

"Liu Chuang, I need to disappear for a few months. You have been traveling around the world for many years. Please help me find a place where no one will disturb me."

"Ah, you are the prince, you have everything you want, why are you thinking of retiring from the world?" Liu Chuang grabbed a handful of peanuts and asked while eating.

Chu Li shook his head, "Everyone has difficulties. I may not live as freely as you do."

Liu Chuang thought about it, his eyes lit up, "At the foot of Tianwu Mountain, there is a paradise, there are only simple farmers there, my good brother Pang Dahai is the boss there."

Chu Li's eyes lit up. A paradise on earth, it sounded so desirable.

Liu Chuang crossed his legs and continued, "Pang Dahai knows martial arts and is loyal. Besides, the four elders of Tianwu Mountain are guarding the mountain. No one dares to enter Taoyuan Village to cause trouble. The prince can hide there safely... No, I mean to cultivate his character!"

Chu Li smiled, she knew that Liu Chuang was very reliable.

Liu Chuang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will contact him immediately and we will be able to set off right away."

Chu Li believed more and more in metaphysics. In her previous life, she was abandoned in Tianwu Mountain by her biological mother.

In this life, her child will also be born at the foot of Tianwu Mountain.

This is fate.

She will soon be able to see whether it is the same Tianwu Mountain.

Chu Li nodded in agreement and poured Liu Chuang another cup of tea. "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first!" Liu Chuang stood up, drank the tea that Chu Li handed to him, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and left quickly.

Chu Li then went to Ye Hanting's house.

Ye Hanting was very happy to see her coming to find him. Chu Li seemed to have been avoiding him since what happened that day.

It’s a good thing that you can take the initiative to come here today.

Chu Li knocked on the door, entered the room, and got straight to the point.

"Sir, I need you to do me a favor."

Ye Hanting stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chu Li lied, "I want to leave the capital for a while."

Ye Hanting frowned, "Why?"

Chu Li stretched his neck and looked at Ye Hanting helplessly, "The students are so tired. I want to sneak out to play."

Ye Hanting breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Chu Li didn't want to be the crown prince anymore and wanted to flee the capital in order not to expose his female identity.

Chu Li moved closer and said, "Sir, after the morning court tomorrow, I will pretend to be exhausted, and then you can ask Du Nanzhou to conceal it for me and say that I need to rest for a while."

Ye Hanting's eyes darkened. How did Chu Li know that there was a relationship between him and Du Nanzhou?

Chu Li smiled slyly, "I saw you and Du Nanzhou whispering to each other, are you friends?"

Ye Hanting poked her between the eyebrows and said, "How dare you threaten me to do something?"

Chu Li raised an eyebrow, "How could that be possible? It's my honor to share a secret with you, sir."

Ye Hanting stared into her eyes and asked, "How long will you be gone?"

Chu Li thought for a moment and said, "Half a month."

Ye Hanting rubbed his fingers. When he suddenly heard that Chu Li was leaving the capital, he felt inexplicably reluctant to let him go.

However, Chu Li was indeed too tired during this period.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Chu Li looked at Ye Hanting expectantly and asked, "Sir, is this okay?"
