The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

On the day when the palace examination results came out, the golden list was crowded with candidates who came to see the list. Liang Chongyue and Li Yu'an stood by the window of Wangjiang Tower and watched the hustle and bustle outside the Imperial Examination Hall not far away, just like before. The difference was that last time Liang Chongyue was the only one standing by the window and watching.

The situation was unstable at that time, so it was inconvenient for her to show up, so as not to attract some people's bad intentions.

"The barbecue at Wangjiang Tower has been improved today. You can eat more later. When the weather gets warmer, I will take you to the hunting grounds to catch some fresh meat and grill it for you."

"Concubine, thank you Your Majesty."

Liang Chongyue waved her hand. She was not as fond of barbecue as Li Yu'an. She had only eaten two more bites today because of the incense he used. Now she was full and didn't want to eat anything. She just stood by the window and looked out of the Imperial Examination Hall.

At this time, the outside of the Imperial Examination Hall was extremely lively. Because His Majesty had issued an edict that the court was short of people this year, the enrollment had to be expanded. Most of the candidates who had passed the imperial examination were admitted. The entire Imperial Examination Hall was filled with joy, and Liang Chongyue could hear the bustling noise even from his position on the Wangjiang Tower.

Liang Chongyue also saw a familiar figure in the crowd. A Zheng accompanied Qu Lian'er and Bai Fu to look at the list. After seeing that they were on the list, the three of them were very excited. They hugged each other and cheered.

When Liang Chongyue saw this scene, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. A woman should be so lively and unrestrained.

Among the three, only Xiang Zheng knew where her cousin must be watching here. It was most likely the No. 1 private room in Wangjiang Tower. After cheering, she looked in that direction and saw a white figure standing by the window of the private room. It was her cousin.

Xiang Zheng waved upwards, as excited as a child who had just come of age. Liang Chongyue saw it, raised her hand and waved it gently twice, and the little girl became even more excited.

Seeing the other two pairs of eyes looking over here, Liang Chongyue quickly stood behind the window. She didn't want too many people to know that she was here. Watching from afar and sharing this joy was enough.

Bai Fu followed Xiang Dong's gaze and saw nothing. She didn't understand why, but she was so indescribably happy and excited that she quickly forgot about the matter.

Qu Lian'er was very smart. Just by looking at A Zheng's appearance, even though she didn't see anyone, she guessed that it was His Majesty who was there.

Your Majesty is a role model for women all over the world. Today is the day when the results are announced, and Your Majesty will definitely come to see it.

Qu Lian'er recalled what her mother had said to her the day before the results were announced. She said that the Rong family had already agreed with her father on the date for the engagement, but her father had found an excuse to reject them.

It's not that she doesn't want to marry into the Rong family. The two families are old friends. She and Brother Rong have known each other since childhood, and their mothers would occasionally say that they are a good match. It's just that Brother Rong is not an ambitious person, and even her mother can't guarantee how he will live in the future.

The Rong family is a good family. If she marries into the family, her mother-in-law will be kind and she and her sister-in-law have been friends since childhood, so she will always be able to live well in the harem.

But having entrusted her life to him like this, she always felt fear and anxiety in her dreams at midnight.

Now she has achieved fame and rank 11th in the second class. Although it is not too high, it is enough. Her future finally does not have to rely on men. The feeling of knowing what the future will be like is in her own hands is so good that she almost cried several times just thinking about it.

It was His Majesty who gave her this opportunity. Without His Majesty, she would have been married now, or perhaps even pregnant and about to give birth.

But since her husband is not ambitious, it is difficult for her to even foresee the end of her future.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. You're making me want to take the test."

Xiang Zheng wiped the tears of one person and then that person. The handkerchief was already half wet and water would come out if she squeezed it hard.

The two of them burst into laughter at the princess's words, and the atmosphere around them became cheerful again.

"You're in high school today, and I'm in a good mood. Let's go eat. It'll be more and more crowded here soon, and it'll be hard to get out."

Xiang Zheng looked at the increasing number of people who were tiptoeing to squeeze in to see the list. Not wanting to stay any longer, she took Qu Lian'er and Bai Fu's hands and walked out of the crowd.

They brought seven or eight servants with them to protect them. With the servants leading the way, they didn't have to squeeze in on their own.

A Zheng has already thought about what to eat today. Hot pot is the best in winter, it is warm and delicious.

"Miss Bai Fu, Miss Bai Fu, here, we are here, but it's high school? My silly son said you will definitely pass, and I was afraid you would be nervous, so I came here to wait for you."

Hearing this all-too-familiar old voice, Xiang Zheng narrowed her eyes dangerously. These two followers had indeed followed her here.

These days, she listened to her cousin's words, secretly sent people to enlighten Bai Fu, and explained the rules of the capital to her one by one, teaching her not to be timid anymore. Bai Fu also went out and explained things clearly to the mother and son, but they still didn't give up, so don't blame her for being rude.

Under the protection of the servants, the three of them walked out of the crowd. The old woman's voice was quite loud, which immediately attracted many people who had come out and those who couldn't squeeze in to stop and watch the fun.

"Miss Bai Fu, we bought some lotus cakes from the place you said was delicious. Come and try some."

The mother and son were stopped by the servants of Duke Dingguo's Mansion. They all lived in the capital. Even if they had never spoken to Princess Yongle, they must have met her. Everyone knew that Princess Yongle had a good personal relationship with the current emperor. The mother and son were not stupid and did not dare to force their way in. They just stood behind the servants and kept shouting, fearing that others would not know who they were calling.

"Miss Bai, Bai Fu, I just bought this. It's delicious. Try it."

The middle-aged man passed the hibiscus cake wrapped in oil paper through the gap between the servant's shoulders and handed it to them. He looked happy and his eyes were warm as if he was welcoming his wife, but his appearance was so greasy and ugly that it made people feel sick.

"These two scoundrels."

Xiang Zheng had listened to her cousin these days and had been restraining herself from dealing with these two ruffians. Now they had reached the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall and were making such a loud noise, hoping to ruin Bai Fu's reputation so that she would have no way out and would have to marry him obediently.

As early as after leaving the palace that day, Xiang Zheng sent people to investigate the background of the mother and son. The mother and son originally had property in the west of the city. Later, because the man abused his wife and beat her to the point of dementia, she could not even recognize people. The wife's family took the case to court, and the property was exchanged for silver. Half of it was used as compensation, and the mother and son rented a small house in the suburbs of Beijing to live in with the remaining half.

They had no land and could only survive for a while with the money left from selling the house. The man was also lazy and liked to eat. So the mother and son decided to target a poor girl who came to the capital to take the imperial examination. That day, they really happened to meet Bai Fu, who had fainted from hunger.
