Mind Reading: Who understands? The emperor finally has a princess.

Long Xianxian: [Oh, yes. His family wasn't well off, but he was a bit clever. He knew that being poor would make people look down on him, so he used the money his wife gave him for the imperial examination to buy a good outfit and set off on his journey in a respectable manner.]

Along the way, whenever he met a woman, he would tell her he was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. He would ask for her accommodation, and even eat and drink for free. He persuaded many women to support his journey to Beijing to take the examination. He did not tell them that he had a wife. During this journey, he deceived more than thirty women.

Ah this!

Everyone was speechless!

How could there be such a person!

The emperor frowned: This guy has become a cunning person. If he can pass the exam, won’t it disrupt the government?

Tu Shanjin: [This is the first time I've seen such a shameless person! ]

Ministers: This fox is simply their substitute!

Long Xianxian: [Indeed, but the embarrassing thing is, Miss Liang and Miss Lu both sponsored him, and now they're still fighting over this person! Oh, if this fight keeps up, they'll both be running around naked. Shouldn't they look at that scholar? He's smirking!]

The Vice Minister of Works and the Vice Minister of Revenue looked at each other and stood up together.

The Minister of Works said: "Your Majesty, I have a headache and would like to ask for half a day off!"

The emperor was speechless, and then looked at the Minister of Revenue.

"What about you?"

The Minister of Revenue said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty has a stomachache, so I'm going to take half a day off!"

The emperor waved his hand, feeling annoyed at the sight of the two men.

The Vice Minister of Works and the Vice Minister of Revenue ran so fast that there was no sign of any illness.

Long Xianxian was surprised to see the two of them leave like that.

[Why did they leave? Why didn't I notice they had a headache or stomachache?]

Everyone was trying to hold back their laughter, and their noses were all wide open at this moment.

They all looked out the door eagerly. It was so sad that they couldn’t eat the melon on the spot!

But the emperor was still angry, and then said: "For this civil service examination, after reviewing the papers, we must verify the character of the candidates. We must not let people with bad character in!"

The Grand Tutor, the Second Prince, and the examiners from the Hanlin Academy all stood up.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Because he had to go to the city gate to welcome Hua Rong and the Northwest Army back to the court tomorrow, the emperor left the court.

He also asked people from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department to arrange a palace banquet in the palace.

We plan to host a banquet for the soldiers of the Northwest Army who have made outstanding contributions.

After the others left the court, they all ran out.

If you hurry, you can still eat today's melon.

The second prince and the fifth prince did not leave, but came to the fourth prince.

"Fourth brother, everyone has missed you during the days you were away from the court, but I'm particularly curious about what happened between you and General Hua Rong?" The fifth prince came over first.

When Hua Rong was mentioned, the Fourth Prince's face turned dark.

"If you don't mention her, we'll still be good brothers!"

The Second Prince patted the Fourth Prince on the shoulder and said, "Yes, we are good brothers. So who is on top, you or General Hua?"

The fourth prince blushed, "Second brother, I heard you've been getting close to the Imperial Master lately. What's going on?"

The second prince was stunned: "That's not the case!"

The Fifth Prince: "Second Brother, didn't the Imperial Preceptor break his leg a few days ago? Why didn't you go and see him?"

The Second Prince: "His broken leg has nothing to do with me. I've been supervising the exams lately and I'm very tired."

The Fourth Prince: "Don't just talk about Second Brother, Fifth Brother, what about you? You're still with Jiayi. Don't tell me you're the one who stole her away!"

The Fifth Prince said, "Fourth brother, please don't talk nonsense. That's just because the family of the Minister of Revenue is not a good person. Let's go and have a drink. I will explain it to you slowly."

The Second Prince waved his hand and said, "You guys go today. I won't go. I've been invigilating these past few days and I'm pretty tired."

The Fifth Prince: "Okay, then my fourth brother and I will go first."

After leaving the palace, the second prince did not rush back to his own residence, but went to the residence of the imperial teacher next door first.

Royal study room.

The emperor had just told the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department about the banquet for the Northwest Army.

As soon as the man left, he heard his daughter arguing with the fox.

One was howling and the other was squeaking.

Long Xianxian: [You're still getting excited! I told you I didn't remember what you looked like as a human, and you're blaming me? You were already a drowned fox back then, how could you possibly look good?]

Tu Shanjin: [This young master is the most beautiful nine-tailed fox in the Qingqiu fox clan in a million years, and you actually call me ugly? Wuuwuwuwu, Great Immortal, would you like to take a closer look?]

Long Xianxian: [No matter how hard I try, you're just a fox. How about you transform into a human so I can see you again?]

Tu Shanjin: [I haven't recovered yet. I've been working really hard. Look, I can even grow three tails!]

Long Xianxian: [Alright, alright, let's talk about this after you can become a human. You're nothing but a pillow now, you're useless!]

Tu Shanjin: ...

The emperor also looked at the fox on the ground, but he didn't see that it had three tails.

According to him, he is a nine-tailed fox.

He had seen it before in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but thought it was just a legend.

If it is true, I hope that if Xianxian encounters any difficulties in the future, this little fox can really help Xianxian. This is also the reason why the emperor kept him.

The emperor didn't even look at the memorial, but came over and picked up Long Xianxian.

"Let's go and have dinner with your mother!"

……

Suburbs of Beijing.

The Northwest Army is currently stationed here to rest.

It would take another half day to reach the capital.

But Hua Rong was in no hurry to let people move forward.

"General, we still haven't found the young master."

Hua Rong frowned, still not understanding why that person left.

And it was done quietly.

It was the first time that Hua Rong had seen such a handsome man, and he was also well-behaved and lovely. She clearly felt that the two of them had a very good relationship.

Last night, she drank some wine and confessed to him while drunk.

He also said that when he returned to the capital, he would tell His Majesty and ask Him to grant them a marriage.

She really wanted to take the man home and pamper him.

The man also agreed and was particularly proactive last night.

Thinking of this, Hua Rong rubbed his already messy hair.

She still couldn't understand why he left without saying a word?

At this time, a voice came from outside the tent.

"The military advisor is here. Please go and persuade the general. The general has always been reluctant to return to the capital."

The military advisor nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and persuade the general."

Then, the military advisor entered Hua Rong's tent.

As soon as I came in, I saw Hua Rong looking so haggard.

"General!"

Hua Rong sighed slightly when he saw the person coming.

"Bai Xiao, I can't find him!"

Bai Xiao felt bad when she saw Hua Rong like this.

He never imagined that the general he had always respected was a woman, and even thought that he might like a man.

Just when he accepted his fate, God played a joke on him. He didn't expect that the general he thought was would be a woman.

He thought he had a chance and wanted to confess his feelings, but he didn't expect that there was another man next to the general.

But that man was completely obsessed with his beloved.

At this moment, Bai Xiao was like a mute swallowing bitter pills, unable to express her pain.

Bai Xiao: "General, if the young master really likes you, he will naturally not leave."

Hua Rong: "Yes, maybe I scared him away. I was planning to go to the capital to see His Majesty tomorrow and ask His Majesty to grant us a marriage. Why did I say this yesterday?"

Hua Rong was very upset.

But Hua Rong's words stabbed Bai Xiao's chest like a knife.

Bai Xiao: "I understand General, but General, we will soon arrive in the capital. If you stay here for too long, His Majesty may become suspicious."

Hua Rong also understood, and she also wanted to search further, but the 200,000-strong army was still waiting for her.

Hua Rong nodded helplessly: "Okay, tomorrow... let's go to Beijing!"

Bai Xiao: "Then I'll go make the arrangements. Oh, Lord Yan Cheng has already gone back early."

Silence returned to the big tent again.

After Bai Xiao came out, she looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

He never thought that one day he would become so cruel and ruthless.

It was just a little bit, and I almost killed that man.
