The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

On the day of the palace examination, Lu Shi waited at the palace gate with other candidates and was led into the palace by guards.

Under the gaze of the majestic emperor, everyone bowed their heads and knelt, respectfully waiting for the order from the top.

Emperor Sheng Zhao sat at the very top, looking down at the trembling students below with a calm expression. Only when he passed by Lu Shi, who was at the head of the crowd and remained calm, did his eyes change.

"Examinees, please take your seats."

Emperor Sheng Zhao had no intention of greeting everyone and fell silent after announcing the test questions.

Time passed bit by bit, and the final result was as expected. Lu Shi was personally awarded as the new top scorer, Yao Ting was the second, and Su Yunxi was the third.

"The top scholar, wearing a red robe and a red flower in his hat..."

The parade of the top scholar is always lively. A wide road is left on the street, and both sides are crowded with people. All the major shops and inns also come to join in the fun. The ground is covered with flower sachets, and it is very festive.

"Brother Lu, this thing really hurts."

Yao Ting fell behind Lu Shi, holding the sachet that had just been thrown away and muttering in dissatisfaction, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was saying one thing and thinking another, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the back of his head.

Su Yunxi, who was lagging behind, was even more amused. In the past, he was unwilling to accept it and would always study late into the night to surpass Yao Ting. He almost went blind from studying. It was no use regretting it later.

Ever since he took the medicine given by Lu Shi, his eyesight has been getting better day by day. Today was a good day and he could see the expressions on everyone's faces clearly. He suddenly felt his ears and eyes were clear. Before, because of his eye problems, he felt that he could not hear clearly.

Although he was only the third place this time, compared to Yao Ting's second place, his appearance was recognized by the emperor, which made him very proud.

Lu Shi looked at the smiling faces that were happy for him and his heart suddenly swelled up. He felt a little uncomfortable, but not painful.

Lu Shi slowly raised the corners of his mouth. This taste is really good.

No wonder the old man under the moon is willing to give this world a little favor.

The three young men, dressed in red robes, looked full of vigor and vitality, which made everyone feel happy and excited. Everyone expressed their sincere wishes for the young men.

Lu Shi moved into the mansion granted by the emperor and officially became an official in the court three days later.

But he didn't expect that someone would appear in the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion first. Looking at the mansion filled with gifts of all sizes and the servants arranged in an orderly manner, Lu Shi felt a little stunned.

"The top scholar is back."

Qi Jin smiled and looked at Lu Shi without blinking, as if he couldn't see enough.

After not seeing him for a while, he seems even more handsome.

"Thank you for the gift."

"Don't thank me yet. I've prepared a large table of food for you. Let's celebrate tonight. We're celebrating our eldest son, Lu, who has been ranked first in the imperial examination and has a bright future ahead of him!"

Qi Jin walked up to Lu Shi and held his hand, smiling broadly.

The warmth on his hand could not be ignored. Lu Shi did not struggle, but just kept thinking about it.

'She smiles like a woman, but it's pretty nice.'

There are many beauties in Beijing, but the one in front of me seems to be the most beautiful.

With fine wine and delicious food, and the company of his beloved, Qi Jin, as expected, got drunk again. Unlike his previous quiet and peaceful demeanor, he was quite noisy this time.

"Lu Shi, why have you been so close to Xiao Muyu recently? Are you attracted to her?"

Uh...how should he answer? Lu Shi guessed that Qi Jin probably didn't want him to get too close to Xiao Muyu. He really didn't have any feelings for her. After all, he wasn't a man, but he couldn't say it bluntly, as it would hurt her face.

"She's very cute." This answer is quite standard and should be correct.

Is this a crush? Qi Jin's heart skipped a beat.

"I don't allow it!"

This person is quite disgusted with him, reacting so strongly. Lu Shi pursed his lips and smiled, "Knowing that she is your cousin, she would never dare to touch her."

I didn't realize that this guy is a sister-con.

Huh, Qi Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that Lu Shi had no other intentions towards Xiao Muyu, his courage gradually grew.

He drank another glass of wine to give himself courage, and then his originally clear eyes gradually became blurred. He supported himself with his hands and stumbled towards Lu Shi, then his legs went soft and he buried his face in Lu Shi's arms, and his hands naturally wrapped around Lu Shi's neck.

"What type of women or men do you like?" Qi Jin deliberately blew gently into Lu Shi's ears. Lu Shi's ears moved, and he couldn't help covering his ears because they were so itchy.

Qi Jin looked at his red ears and raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

"I don't have a homosexual preference." Lu Shi couldn't say what type of woman he liked. After all, he was a woman, but he couldn't say he liked men either. She couldn't be exposed as a woman dressed as a man, at least not now.

Lu Shi was only thinking about how to get by, but he didn't realize how dark the eyes of the person in his arms were. Qi Jin's eyes were dark, and if anyone looked at him at this moment, they would be terrified.

"So what kind of woman do you like?"

"...smart, generous, and sunny."

The sun was shining brightly, but it was a little difficult for him. Qi Jin frowned, feeling worried.

His arms wrapped around him tighter, and Qi Jin leaned entirely on Lu Shi, their bodies fitting perfectly.

Such an intimate gesture made the Monkey System, which was enjoying the delicious food on the side, couldn't help but pay attention to it, and the voice of the Monkey System sounded in Lu Shi's mind.

"Host, something is wrong. There is something wrong with you two. This...this prince is too spoiled."

Indeed, seeing that someone was almost treating him as a bed, Lu Shi decided to pull the person down first. Although he used some tricks to prevent people from seeing his female characteristics, he did not block the touch. With the person sticking so close to him, he might be discovered.

But as soon as Lu Shi made a move, someone started to flutter violently, using the excuse of being drunk to push against Lu Shi. His original intention was to create an opportunity for close contact with Lu Shi, but he didn't expect that in Lu Shi's eyes, his actions were no different from a pig rooting against the ground.

"Don't move, don't move, I feel uncomfortable, why is this pillow so disobedient!"

Three black lines crossed Lu's face. "Did you bring anyone with you? Ask him to take you back."

But you can never wake up a person who pretends to be drunk, and his questions received no response from anyone.

Hehe, Qi Jin's eyes rolled under his eyelids, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Fortunately, he was very smart and did not bring the secret guards out today.

Lu Shi used his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, but he really didn't find anyone following Qi Jin. He sighed resignedly.

Unexpectedly, on the first day he entered the mansion, his new bed was given to a stranger to sleep on. Because someone held his neck and refused to let go, he was forced to share the bed with someone.

This made the monkey system jealous. It knew that the damn Qi Jin had other intentions. He just wanted to snatch the sleeping spot from Lu Shi.

It just saw that the host's new bed was so springy and soft, it must be very comfortable to sleep on.

It's a pity that someone else experienced it first. He was so scheming. It hated that it was a simple and kind system.
