I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Qi Heng today is very different from before.

He was wearing a brand new tribute student uniform. The royal blue satin shone softly in the morning light. On the chest was embroidered a cloud and goose pattern, symbolizing the tribute student's status, with the gold thread shining brightly.

He was as tall and straight as a pine tree, handsome and extraordinary, attracting countless eyes.

Qi Heng's gaze passed over everyone and fell directly on Molan.

He looked at her infatuatedly, his eyes full of tenderness and love, as if she was the only one left in the whole world.

He saw Molan talking to Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng with a sweet smile, and her every gesture showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Every frown and smile was deeply imprinted in his heart, making his heart beat faster and his breathing quicken.

Minglan clearly caught Qi Heng's gaze.

Her heart tightened, and a sour feeling surged into her heart. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She clutched her cuffs tightly, her fingertips turning white and her nails almost digging into her flesh.

She forced herself to look away, but found that everything around her became blurred, and only Qi Heng's obsessed eyes lingered in her mind.

"The auspicious time has come——"

A sharp shout broke the brief silence.

The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall slowly opened and candidates began to file in.

After saying goodbye to their families, Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng followed the crowd into the Imperial Examination Hall.

Qi Heng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just looked at Molan deeply, then turned and walked into the Imperial Examination Hall.

Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, high walls stand tall, separating the inner and outer worlds.

Inside the walls, thousands of students are writing furiously, displaying their talents;

Outside the wall, relatives are eagerly waiting.

Wang Ruofu was extremely anxious and could not sleep or eat.

She knelt on the cushion in the Buddhist temple all day, muttering to herself and kowtowing to pray.

"Buddha, please bless my son to go to Changbai High School, High School!"

Wang Ruofu closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her makeup was a little smudged.

She stood up, pulled Sheng Hong aside, and urged him urgently: "Master, you also come and pray, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless Changbai High School."

Sheng Hong frowned, looking reluctant: "Why worship these insubstantial things? Whether an article is good or bad will be determined by itself."

Wang Ruofu's eyebrows were raised, her eyes wide with anger: "You! Changbai is your eldest son, and you are so cold and indifferent!"

Without saying anything, she forcibly pulled Sheng Hong to the futon, then turned to Lin Qinshuang and said, "Come too, bring Changfeng's share and worship together."

Lin Qinshuang's eyes moved, a gentle smile on her lips, and she walked forward slowly.

Although she had full confidence in Sheng Changfeng, she didn't want to go against the will of the rebellious King Ruofu, so she knelt obediently on the mat, clasped her hands together, and prayed devoutly.

Sheng Hong was forced to kneel down, but he kept muttering, "This is just nonsense."

Wang Ruofu glared at him fiercely and continued to kowtow and pray.

After Wang Ruofu left, Sheng Hong immediately changed his expression.

He dusted off his robes, tidied his appearance, knelt on the cushion again, and kowtowed deeply to the Buddha statue.

He closed his eyes, his lips moving as he muttered, "May our ancestors bless us, may our ancestors of the Sheng family bless us, may our sons Changbai and Changfeng pass the imperial examinations and bring honor to our family."

He kowtowed so much that his forehead soon became red and swollen, and he no longer had any of the reluctance he had just shown.

Inside the Buddhist temple, the sandalwood incense curled and the candlelight flickered, illuminating Sheng Hong's pious yet slightly funny figure.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened again and the candidates walked out one after another.

Lin Qinshuang wore a gorgeous brocade dress, had delicate makeup, and walked gracefully. Molan followed closely behind her, wearing a simple and elegant outfit, which further highlighted her elegant and refined temperament.

The candidates walked out one after another, each one looking haggard and staggering.

"Changbai, Changfeng!"

Wang Ruofu saw the Sheng brothers at a glance, and excitedly waved the handkerchief in her hand and shouted loudly.

Sheng Changbai looked pale and his steps were unsteady, but he was still in good spirits.

Sheng Changfeng was energetic and walked steadily. His years of martial arts training gave him an advantage over other candidates.

"Mother, my son is fine."

Sheng Changbai saluted Wang Ruofu, his voice a little hoarse.

"Mother, sister."

Sheng Changfeng smiled and greeted Lin Qinshuang and Molan.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay."

Wang Ruofu held Sheng Changbai's hand, looked at him carefully, and her eyes were red.

Lin Qinshuang gently straightened Sheng Changfeng's clothes and asked with concern, "Are you hungry? Mother prepared your favorite snack for you."

Molan silently handed Sheng Changfeng a handkerchief and asked him to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Not far away, Gu Tingye strode out of the Imperial Examination Hall with his head held high.

He immediately spotted Nanny Chang in the crowd, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He walked straight towards Madam Chang, ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him, and said frivolously: "Madam, I'm starving. Please prepare something for me to eat."

Nanny Chang shook her head helplessly, but still ordered the servants to prepare food.

Qi Heng, surrounded by the Duke of Qi and his wife, slowly walked out of the Imperial Examination Hall.

His face was calm, showing no emotion, but his eyes involuntarily drifted towards Molan.

He saw Molan talking to her family with a gentle smile on her face.

At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything around him, with only her in his eyes.

After getting on the carriage, Qi Heng still couldn't help but lift the curtain and look back.

He saw Molan supporting Lin Qinshuang and walking slowly away, her figure gradually disappearing in the crowd.

He lowered the curtain, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

The day of announcing the results has finally arrived.

Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng took Rulan, Minglan and Molan to the Imperial Examination Hall to see the list.

Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, there were already crowds of people, making it impossible to get through.

"Oh, it's so crowded, so crowded."

Rulan was pushed around by the crowd and couldn't help complaining.

"Fifth sister, be careful."

Molan took Rulan's hand and reminded her softly.

Minglan followed silently behind, looking around but she never saw Qi Heng.

"Look, look, there's the list!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone rushed to the list.

The Sheng brothers and sisters also squeezed in front of the list, stood on tiptoe, and tried to look up.

"I hit it, I hit it!"

Rulan screamed with excitement. She pointed to the top of the list and shouted excitedly, "Big Brother, Third Brother, you all won!"

Sheng Changfeng's name was ranked first, while Sheng Changbai was ranked twelfth.

"Great, great!"

Molan was also beaming. She took Sheng Changfeng's arm and said with great excitement, "Congratulations to both brothers. Congratulations to both brothers on getting into high school!"

Sheng Changfeng had a bright smile on his face.

Sheng Changbai was relatively calm. He nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

Minglan squeezed to the front of the list and read it carefully from beginning to end, but still couldn't find Qi Heng's name.

A feeling of uneasiness welled up in her heart, her brows were furrowed, and her face turned pale.

"Sixth sister, what are you looking at?"

Rulan noticed Minglan's strange behavior and asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing."

Minglan forced a smile to hide her inner disappointment.

"Okay, okay, let's go back and tell mother the good news."

Rulan grabbed Minglan's hand and pulled her away from the list without saying a word.
