"Ayu."

The guard who was called stepped forward, then took out a small box wrapped in red cloth from his arms and handed it to Lu Mingyun with both hands.

Lu Mingyun was still smiling, as if very happy, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."

He took the small box with both hands, the guard stepped back, and Lu Mingyun sat down.

"Now that you've made the list, the next step is to meet His Majesty. His Majesty's health has improved a lot these days. He would definitely be happy if he knew how capable you are." The King of Qi said with a smile.

Lu Mingyun smiled bitterly, looking very self-aware, "This little thing is not enough to make His Majesty happy."

"But I'm quite curious," the King of Qi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Lu Mingyun, "You are already the Crown Prince, why do you still need to take the imperial examinations?"

Lu Mingyun pretended to be helpless and pursed his lips. "Your Highness, you don't know that I have an aggressive stepmother at home. She keeps staring at my status as the Crown Prince all day long and she wants to tear me apart."

"So I thought about earning my own degree through the imperial examinations. If His Majesty remembered me and gave me a position, I could leave that home naturally."

The King of Qi clicked his tongue and shook his head. "So is the Marquis of Wu'an... But this is your family affair after all, so I can't say anything about it."

"It's okay, it's okay. I just hope Your Highness can listen to me." Lu Mingyun said.

King Qi smiled and patted Lu Mingyun on the shoulder. "But why don't you choose to get married? After you get married, you can move out, or separate your compound from other compounds."

"I'll still have to deal with them, but if I work somewhere else, I'll get a couple of years of peace and quiet." Lu Mingyun expressed his happiness at leaving home, but then he became slightly shy as if he had thought of something. "And..."

The King of Qi was curious, "And what?"

"And I found that I prefer men." Lu Mingyun said surprisingly.

The private room suddenly became quiet, and the King of Qi paused and laughed, "You, you are just young and like to play."

“…” Lu Mingyun scratched his face in embarrassment.

"Speaking of which, you have a male wife?" King Qi asked casually.

Lu Mingyun nodded.

"Is it because of him that he fell in love with men?" King Qi asked again.

Lu Mingyun blinked and looked at King Qi embarrassedly, "That's right... I like him quite a bit now."

"..." Li Mofu is dead, please burn incense if you have something to ask.

"Hahaha." The King of Qi smiled and glanced around the private room. His gaze lingered on Li Mofu for a few seconds before changing the subject. "Where do you want to be an official? I can tell His Majesty."

Lu Mingyun waved his hand and said, "I don't have anywhere I want to go. I'll go wherever your majesty wants me to go. It's my duty to share your majesty's worries."

The King of Qi nodded in satisfaction. "That's fine, but it's very dangerous outside the capital. You'd better be careful when you serve as an official elsewhere."

"Of course." Lu Mingyun said.

The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and then King Qi stood up to leave. Lu Mingyun immediately stood up and saw him downstairs.

Li Mofu was speechless and terrified throughout the whole process. The King of Qi kept saying congratulations but he didn't go to the Marquis' Mansion or the courtyard, but instead hurried to the restaurant.

I really don't understand what this prince is thinking.

However, Li Mofu despised Lu Mingyun for pushing him out as a "shield". He really felt that his identity was not embarrassing enough, and he had to add some "charm master" elements.

This wave of temptation from the King of Qi ruined their enjoyment of eating and drinking. Li Mofu felt a little uncomfortable, so when Lu Mingyun suggested going home, he did not refuse and went back with him obediently.

After returning to the yard, Li Mofu rolled back to his bedroom to sleep. Whether he could sleep or not was one thing, but he just wanted to hide in his bedroom.

Lu Mingyun, who was standing in the yard, originally wanted to talk to Li Mofu, but he didn't expect that the man ran away and hid in the bedroom.

"He wouldn't take it seriously, would he?" Lu Mingyun asked, looking at the closed door.

Mo Zhu, who was following behind him, was stunned at first, then he remembered what the young master said to King Qi in the private room, "...Mr. Li might have taken it seriously. The young master should explain it to Mr. Li when he has the chance."
