Crazy and bad again, the princess is the best in Beijing

Shi Wanwan slid off the horse's back...

She originally wanted to dismount and keep some distance from him, but because she had been riding for so long, her legs became weak and she accidentally knelt on the ground.

Shi Wanwan: “!!!!!!”

Xie Xuanzhi: "..."

He laughed unkindly: "Although the princess has always respected me as her father, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony at any time."

Shi Wanwan raised her eyes to look at him. At that moment, the sunlight happened to shine on the side of his face, giving him a golden edge, making him look extraordinarily handsome.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She had previously praised him as the ultimate virile, but in reality, she was just talking nonsense. She really didn't have any thoughts in that regard towards him.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt that she had some lustful thoughts about him.

She was not used to this feeling, so she rarely argued with him. She stood up by herself, brushed the dust off her legs, and walked away.

Xie Xuanzhi thought she was angry, so he tied his horse to a tree and followed her over, asking, "Are you angry?"

Shi Wanwan replied: "No, my legs are just a little weak."

She smiled again after she finished speaking, "Thank you for your hard work today, Your Highness. You are a big shot who is busy with all sorts of things every day. I can handle things like riding horses myself. I don't want to waste your time."

When Xie Xuanzhi heard this, he thought that he had thrown her onto the horse and forced her to learn how to ride, which made her angry.

He looked at her. The girl had a slender and delicate figure, and his heart softened as well.

No matter how tough she usually appears in front of him, she is just a little girl.

He also felt that he might have gone a little too far today.

He then said, "I was a little reckless today. I shouldn't have thrown you directly onto the horse. I scared you. I apologize."

Shi Wanwan was a little surprised to hear this. She originally wanted to say that she was so timid that she was not scared.

But if she said that, it would not explain her abnormal behavior just now.

Her gaze narrowed slightly, and her peach blossom eyes turned around. She chuckled and said, "In my eyes, all sincerity can be embodied with silver."

"If Your Majesty compensate me with one thousand taels of silver, I think my anger will subside."

Xie Xuanzhi: "..."

Okay, he knew, she wasn't angry at all, she was just tired and didn't want to ride anymore.

He then said, "I don't have that much silver on me, so I'll use this as payment."

After he said that, he took off a jade pendant from his body and handed it to her.

Shi Wanwan glanced at the jade pendant. It was made of the finest white jade with a three-clawed dragon pattern engraved on it. It was obviously a token of the Chong Palace.

Generally speaking, there will be consequences if you accept this kind of thing.

She just wanted to earn some pocket money and didn't want to get herself involved.

She said, "There's no rush. Your Majesty, go back and get the silver today, and you can give it to me tomorrow."

She walked forward twisting and turning, her posture a little strange.

Xie Xuanzhi knew that this was caused by the incorrect posture when she was riding a horse just now. He raised his eyebrows slightly and thought that she was really a delicate girl.

He said behind her, "The princess should be able to receive a gift from me after she leaves the Imperial College."

Shi Wanwan asked, "What gift?"

Xie Xuanzhi replied: "The princess will know in a moment."

Shi Wanwan felt that he was being mysterious and continued to walk out slowly.

Xie Xuanzhi followed her not too far away. If Shi Wanwan turned around at this moment, she would definitely see the tenderness in his eyes.

When he returned to the capital this time, he had originally planned to die and drag that group of people to hell with him.

But now that he met her, he didn't want to die anymore.

There are some things he can handle in a relatively gentle way.

When Shi Wanwan arrived at the gate of the Imperial College, she met Yu Song.

Yu Song bowed and said, "Princess, His Majesty invites you to the palace."

Shi Wanwan responded and turned to look at Xie Xuanzhi who was following behind her.

He said calmly, "Princess, please come to the palace quickly. Don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."

Shi Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly and immediately understood that this was the gift he was talking about.

Today is the palace examination. Normally, Emperor Qianyuan would be very busy today and would not have time to see her.

At this time, he sent the head eunuch Yu Song to pick her up, probably because of something important.

There weren't many important things related to her, and with today's palace examination...

She had a rough guess in her mind and looked at Xie Xuanzhi again.

Xie Xuanzhi stood there like a majestic pine or cypress, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

She chuckled and followed Yu Song into the palace.

This time she entered the Jiaotai Hall, which was filled with tables and chairs. She guessed that today's palace examination would be held here.

But at this time, all the candidates had finished the exam, and only Lu Xingzhi was kneeling on the ground.

Kneeling beside him were the dejected Mr. Lu and the angry-looking President of the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Lin Xingzhou.

Shi Wanwan bowed politely as soon as she came in.

As soon as Emperor Qianyuan saw her, he started to scold her: "You are so blind!"

"Look at the man you insisted on marrying, even crying and threatening to hang yourself in front of me!"

Shi Wanwan was shocked to hear this opening remark. She looked up at Emperor Qianyuan, and he winked at her.

Shi Wanwan understood immediately and asked, "What did Lu Xingzhi do to make his uncle so angry?"

Emperor Qianyuan said coldly: "Lin Qing, you come and tell the princess what Lu Xingzhi did."

Lin Xingzhou immediately said, "During today's palace examination, Lu Xingzhi copied a policy essay that Prince Chong wrote during his previous examination."

The joint examination covers many subjects, ranging from the interpretation of classics to mathematics and policy essays, but the palace examination only requires writing a policy essay.

Shi Wanwan was shocked and said, "Lu Xingzhi copied Prince Chong's essays from the imperial examination? Did Prince Chong actually take the imperial examination?"

Lin Xingzhou nodded and said, "Eight years ago, Prince Chong entered the government through the civil service examination. His literary talent was unparalleled in the world."

"At that time, His Majesty wanted to appoint him as the top scholar, and it happened that Xiliang invaded our dynasty from the south."

"On the day of the palace examination, His Majesty received news of a border defeat. The policy essay was then assigned to the topic of horse administration. Prince Chong wrote a brilliant essay that astonished the world."

"However, after he finished writing, he resigned from his majesty and went to the border to defend against foreign enemies. He asked His Majesty to give the top spot to another student so that more outstanding talents could be promoted."

"Thus, although the policy essay he wrote was the best in the world, no one knew about it except Your Majesty and the few examiners who helped mark the papers at the time."

Shi Wanwan had seen Xie Xuanzhi's handwriting and the contracts he wrote, and they were indeed top-notch.

But she really didn't know that he had actually passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer!

She couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it said that Prince Chong grew up in the borderland and was almost never in the capital?"

Emperor Qianyuan said calmly, "He lived in the capital for a few years when he was young, and went to the border when he grew up."

"After Prince Lao Chong took the Crown Prince to the border, he voluntarily stayed in the capital. That was the year he took the imperial examination."

"To be honest, I was extremely shocked when I saw his test paper."

"Because of this, I remember his test paper very clearly."

At this point, he pointed at Lu Xingzhi and said, "How dare you plagiarize Prince Chong's policy paper!"
