Fast Passage

At this moment, the princess walked out from behind Li Yu and the others.

After hearing these words, he became even more interested in Li Yu.

"Mr. Li, why are you in such a hurry to go back? I think I'm quite pretty. Isn't that enough to make you stop for a moment?"

The beauty with a white veil on her face raised her eyebrows slightly, took off her veil gently, revealing a delicate and charming face.

She has skin as white as cream, bright eyes and a charming look, and is a peerless beauty.

The beauty opened her red lips slightly.

"Could it be that the young master's wife is so beautiful?"

Li Yu was only stunned for a moment by the beauty of the person in front of him, then he immediately came to his senses, took two steps back and kept his distance.

"Miss, Li Yu and my wife have a very deep affection for each other. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In my eyes, my wife is naturally perfect. So in my eyes, it is not an exaggeration to say that my wife is a beauty that can topple a country."

The beauty took a step closer, her almond-shaped eyes fixed on Li Yu's, and she spoke again with her red lips, like a seductress.

"But she's just a merchant girl. She can't help you, and she can't help you rise to the top like I can."

Li Yu's eyes were clear and firm, and he looked back without any fear.

"Miss, you are wrong. I was originally a poor scholar. It was my wife's family who provided financial support for my studies, which led to my current achievements."

"If it weren't for my wife and her family, Li Yu would never have reached this imperial city, let alone achieved a meteoric rise in the world. Therefore, my wife and her family have given Li Yu a second life."

"Besides, whether he can rise to prominence depends on Li Yu's ability. What does this have to do with my wife?"

"Miss, Li Yushi has an urgent matter at home, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he turned and left, not wanting to have any more involvement with this noble man.

Only when I returned to the courtyard did I feel relieved.

Shen Qingli asked him what was wrong, but Li Yu didn't want her to be upset about it, so he replied with a smile.

"I was afraid you'd miss me, so I rushed back after the bamboo meeting."

Qingli gently punched his chest and said angrily, "Who misses you?"

Li Yu hugged her and smiled.

"It's me, it's me, I miss you."

Qingli was a little embarrassed.

"Stop messing around and wash up quickly. You have to get up and study tomorrow morning. The bath water is already boiled, and there's warm hangover soup in the kitchen."

Li Yu couldn't help but give Qingli a light kiss on her sweet lips.

"My wife is so good. With a virtuous wife at home, what more could a husband ask for?"

"Go quickly, you're sweating."

Qingli then drove Li Yu to take a bath.

At the same time, in the imperial city, the guards were reporting the princess's itinerary for the day to the emperor.

As the emperor's only daughter and the apple of the dynasty's eye, the princess not only has guards in public, but also secret guards.

After listening to the conversation between Li Yu and the princess, the emperor raised his eyebrows and looked interested.

"This boy is quite interesting, he values friendship and loyalty. Tell the people below to pay attention. I want to see what this boy can do to attract my Princess Wenhui. Please leave."

After the guards left, the emperor wrote two words "Li Yu" on a piece of paper, thinking that since he could attract his daughter's attention, he must have some extraordinary qualities.

A few days later, Li Yu and other candidates went to the Imperial Academy to take the exam.

Before leaving, he repeatedly told Qingli not to pick him up outside the examination hall.

After the exam, there will definitely be a huge crowd of people, and Li Yu was really worried that she would get bumped or bruised.

There was another nine days of exams. After they were over, Li Yu returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

Qingli looked at his haggard face, dipped a towel in warm water, gently wiped his body, and told the servants to prepare some light food and warm it up.

He slept for a whole day, and only woke up when Qingli was so anxious that she wanted to call a doctor.

Looking at his wife's worried face, Li Yu gave her a reassuring hug.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content and having nothing to do, Li Yu took his wife for a stroll in this prosperous imperial city. The two of them were inseparable, and Ren Zhun couldn't interfere with the atmosphere they shared. The talented man and the beautiful woman were a perfect match, and wherever they went, they attracted the envy of others.

More than ten days later, the good news about the imperial examination began to be distributed. Qingli held Li Yu's hand tightly and comforted him not to be nervous or anxious, as there would definitely be good news.

As a result, after half of the list was listed, there was still no good news. Qingli comforted him that it was okay, and at worst he could start over. There were many people in the world who failed.

Li Yu felt so soft-hearted when he saw his young wife trying hard to hold back her tears and comfort him.

"Don't worry, dear. Maybe your husband is among the top ten."

Li Yu held his young wife in his arms and coaxed her gently.

At this time, the good news came: "First place in the imperial examination, Li Huiyuan, come quickly to receive the good news."

The young wife looked up with her red eyes wide open, and pushed Li Yu out the door.

"Hurry, go quickly."

He hurried to get the money from the wedding messenger. After receiving the good news, a group of people gathered to celebrate for Li Yu.
