The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

The imperial examination lasted three sessions over nine days, with each session lasting three days. The first imperial examination after the new emperor of the Great Chu came to an end. The dignitaries in the capital, the students who studied hard, and the people who were eagerly waiting for the good news of the results were all waiting for the announcement.

Xiao Wanyue was studying various dishes in the imperial kitchen, and the aroma of the food could be smelled from afar.

The palace servants in the imperial kitchen were all very curious about what delicious food this noble lady was making in the kitchen.

In fact, they are more interested in who this noble lady is to their Majesty, what is her relationship with their Majesty, and whether she is their Majesty’s sweetheart or their future queen.

Although they were curious, they didn't dare to ask.

But this noble lady is really beautiful. They have never seen such a stunning beauty.

In the past, the eldest daughter of the Qin family was considered one of the most beautiful women in the capital, and Princess Qingning was also known as the most beautiful woman, but compared with the woman in front of him, she was not even one-third as beautiful.

Xiao Wanyue was still tinkering in the kitchen. She was making grilled fish today, which she hadn't eaten for a long time.

Not only that, she also made dry pot shrimp and maocai with tripe.

The most important thing is that she also made hamburgers, fried chicken, and cola. I felt happy just thinking about eating them.

She wanted to give some of these to Zheng Tiaodi and Zhao Jingyu, and then she remembered that the little villain's brother she knew also participated in this scientific examination.

Well, he is definitely on the list this time, and he is at the top of the list. She misses him a little after not seeing him for more than a year. Why not send him some fried chicken? She wonders if he still remembers her.

Xiao Wanyue asked several maids to bring the food to the imperial study. She originally wanted to take it to the Qin'an Palace, but the eunuch told her that He Jingming was in the imperial study.

Seeing that it was lunchtime, she went to the imperial study. She couldn't skip a meal no matter what.

When he arrived at the imperial study, he saw Wang Gui, the godson of the eunuch Wang Fu, waiting quietly at the door.

Seeing Xiao Wanyue coming, he immediately came forward and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, you are here. His Majesty is handling government affairs. Please go in directly."

Xiao Wanyue: When he is handling government affairs, he shouldn't let Wang Gui pass the message before he can go in.

Now there is no need to pass on the message. It seems that he had given instructions in advance. She felt indescribably happy. He did not hide anything from her, and her heart was full.

Wang Gui opened the door, and Xiao Wanyue brought several palace maids into the imperial study. She asked the palace maids to place the food on the table used for rest. Each dish was covered, mainly to prevent the heat from dissipating.

As soon as Xiao Wanyue came in, He Jingming raised his head and looked at her with a smile. He knew that Yue'er would cook delicious meals for him. When he heard An San say that Xiao Wanyue was in the imperial kitchen, he knew that she would definitely cook delicious meals. He didn't even eat the pastries, and just waited for Xiao Wanyue to call him to eat.

After delivering the food, the palace maid quickly left. Wang Gui was very considerate and did not forget to close the door before leaving.

Xiao Wanyue said, "Come and eat quickly. There are so many political affairs that we can't handle them all in a short time. It's better to eat first."

He Jingming: "Yue'er is right, let's eat first."

As he said this, he went to the side to wash his hands and dried them with a towel, then sat down at the table and started eating. His favorite thing every day was to have a meal with Xiao Wanyue, which was warm and sweet.

It's time to put their marriage on the agenda, and he can't wait.

I ate a piece of fish. The skin was very fragrant and the fish meat was very tender. The fragrance lingered in my mouth after every bite. The tripe was also very crispy and the shrimp tasted very fragrant. It was especially delicious with rice.

He doubted whether he would be fattened by Xiao Wanyue in no time if she cooked such delicious meals every day.

I’m scared just thinking about being fat. I guess I have to train for half an hour longer in the morning.

Xiao Wanyue was also satisfied with the meal. She asked, "I made a lot of delicious food and gave some to Zheng Tiaodi, Zhao Jingyu and the others. I also want to give some to He Jingxun, but I don't know where he is. Can you help me send it to him, okay?"

He Jingming: ………Why do you want to give so many delicious foods to others? It would be fine to give them to Zheng Tiaodi and Zhao Jingyu, but why give them to He Jingxun? His face looked a little bad.

Is Yue'er attracted to He Jingxun?

As soon as Xiao Wanyue saw his expression, she knew that he was lost in thought again and said, "What are you thinking about? He Jingxun is just a little brat. He also took the imperial examination this year. I am her sister, so what's wrong with giving him something?"

She just wanted to see how He Jingxun had become in this year, and whether he would be what she expected.

He Jingming's face still looked a little sour, but he still ordered a guard to deliver the things over.

He Jingxun is indeed a genius, and his achievements in Lishan Academy are obvious to all. He also participated in the imperial examination this year, and I believe he will achieve good results.

In the past two years, he has occasionally asked people to send him many books from famous authors and respected teachers. He has also learned very quickly, hard and attentively. Xiao Wanyue would definitely be very happy to see this, but he just doesn't like it.

I feel indescribable jealousy.

Xiao Wanyue pulled He Jingming to sit on the soft couch beside her, and then gave him a massage. He Jingming relaxed all over.

A few days later, the imperial examination results were announced, and as expected, He Jingxun was among the top, ranking first.

Yunlan is second, and Meng Yinzhou is third.

The three men were not very old, but they were ranked in the top three, which was a grand occasion that had never happened before in the Great Chu. The dignitaries in the capital were all alarmed, and they were busy trying to find a son-in-law from the list.

When Zheng Tiaodi heard this, he asked his father to find Meng Yinzhou. His father also doted on his precious daughter and thought it would be okay for him to go and see this man. Even if he could not become his son-in-law, he could at least get to know this rare talent.

Meng Yinzhou was pulled away by Zheng Tiaodi's father on the street. Before he could react, he arrived at the general's mansion, and Zheng Tiaodi was at the door.

For a moment he felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he had had a good impression of Zheng Tiaodi for a long time, but he was just a scholar at that time. Only now did he seem to have a chance to get close to her.

Zheng Tiaodi is innocent, cute, and carefree. Her timidity when encountering things makes him pay constant attention to her. Gradually, he finds that he is attracted to this girl.

Zheng Tiaodi didn't expect that her father would actually bring her here. This was so bad. Although she said this, she didn't mean to be so direct.

A large-scale social death scene is coming.

Zheng Tiaodi: "Dad, did you really catch him?"

Father Zheng: "It's true. Let's go to the mansion and talk now."

Meng Yinzhou: "Miss Zheng, we meet again."

When they entered the mansion and reached the front hall, Old Man Zheng asked Zheng Tiaodi to step aside. He asked Meng Yinzhou a few questions, and Meng Yinzhou answered them one by one fluently.

Old Man Zheng was very satisfied with Meng Yinzhou. He was young, promising and talented, and he seemed a bit too rich for his daughter.

After all, his daughter is a naughty girl.

Zheng Tiaodi didn't know that her father was belittling her in his heart.

Meng Yinzhou also noticed that Old Man Zheng was very satisfied with him. If he didn't say something now, there might be no hope.

He said, "Uncle, I fell in love with your daughter at first sight. I wonder if you can give me another chance and let me spend the rest of my life with her."

Father Zheng: "Okay, my nephew is such a talented person. As long as he treats Tiaodi well, I will naturally agree."

Old Man Zheng arranged a marriage for the two, but it had to wait until Zheng Tiaodi reached the age of 15 and she was willing to marry.

Meng Yinzhou agreed without hesitation.

Zheng Tiaodi was confused by her father's actions. Her father had arranged a marriage for her, and it was with Meng Yinzhou. She felt like it was a bit like a flashy dream.
