Quick Transmigration: Leisure

"Report!——"

When Fu Zhao heard the familiar report again, he hadn't even had time to react; less than half an hour had passed since the last time.

I was just gradually becoming dazed, and I couldn't even perceive how time was flying by.

When he heard faint inquiries coming from below the city gate, he looked over and saw someone who looked somewhat familiar.

Fu Zhao leaped down and led the person, along with the messenger guard, into the pavilion.

"how?"

His tone was urgent, and despite having only met twice, there was no trace of politeness or distance between them.

"Your Highness, is he well?"

"Then, what about the others?" Fu Zhao felt half relieved.

Xia Yisong didn't quite understand what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I don't know. We didn't follow those routes."

"What! You didn't go to look for your sister?" Fu Zhao almost exploded, thinking that all his knowledge about the loving relationship between the Xia siblings was false.

"Your Highness is referring to my sister?"

"Exactly."

“She’s on her way, with His Highness.” This time, it was Xia Yisong’s turn to explain through gritted teeth.

His radar, which's used to peek through cabbages, has been installed for years.

They were initially worried that the Crown Prince would take action.

this time,

They finally found out why the Fu siblings often invited their sister out.

He was furious, but important matters were at stake, so he had to put aside the trial of Fu Zhao for the time being.

"Alright, how far is it? I'll come pick them up." Fu Zhao felt relieved and completely at ease, though for some reason, the air seemed to have thinned out a bit.

"About five miles outside the city."

"Alright!" With that, Fu Zhao immediately sent someone to the palace to deliver the message.

Then he leaped onto his horse and followed Xia Yisong's steed out of the city, accompanied by several royal guards.

It was so easy to contact Fu Zhao and others.

This was also thanks to his deployment of sentries, setting up a sentry post every three miles to intercept suspicious persons and vehicles. This completely disrupted the previous distribution of post station locations.

It can deliver messages faster and also confuse the enemy's accomplices.

Xia Youmi and his group were stopped only six miles outside the city. They were initially very wary, worried that the other party had ill intentions.

They only procrastinate and test the waters.

After all, they came from the completely opposite direction from Qingtan Lake. At first, Xia Yibai successfully passed the checkpoint by claiming that he was taking his family to the capital for the imperial examination. However, after only a few steps, a new order came: martial law would be imposed on those coming from the direction of Dingzhou.

They were caught up and almost got into a fight.

It was only when a member of the Imperial Guard stationed there recognized the two Xia sisters that the two sides made contact.

The person who delivered the message, along with Xia Yisong, went to report back to Fu Zhao.

Their carriage was surrounded by guards and moved forward slowly.

Xia Youmi was speechless, thinking to herself, "Isn't this an even bigger target?!"

However, she also sensed the guards' subtle wariness, so she didn't say anything more for the time being.

"Hey!——"

Several horses stopped beside the carriage. Fu Zhao stepped forward, passed by Xia Youtian in the coachman's seat, chuckled, and then leaned in to look inside.

Seeing his cousin nod and exchange glances, Fu Zhao silently withdrew.

Command to advance at full speed.

Upon arriving at the city gate, there was no need for prior communication to open the gate, and the carriage proceeded smoothly without any obstruction.

During this short stretch of the journey, Xia Youmi had already briefly explained to Fu Zhao what had happened and the reason they were taking the Dingzhou route.

Still holding on, she told him about her second brother's trip to take the imperial examination, explaining that her eldest brother should return to the mansion first, while her second brother would go to the examination hall first.

As the people involved in finding the crown prince, they should have stayed with the group throughout the entire process and been questioned by the palace.

Yes, in urgent situations, one should act expediently.

Only the Crown Prince and the Empress Dowager, two people at the center of power, could vouch for them and ensure they were not suspected.

"understood."

Fu Zhao was delighted and not worried about any subsequent punishment. He directly ordered the carriage carrying the Crown Prince to stop near the examination hall, ensuring Xia Yibo's safe arrival before the handover took place.

At the same time, a personal guard was sent to accompany him to the Xia family to help deliver the household's invoices and other items. Xia Yisong then drove a carriage with the original examination basket and went to the examination hall again.

If you can make it in time, the thoughtfulness of using materials carefully prepared by your family is immeasurable.

All the study materials, including the thick, easy-to-write clothes and blankets sewn by family members, were blessed by Tian Chaoyu and prayed to by his ancestors.

Psychologically, this can help you move up several places in the rankings.

......

At the end of Yin hour,

Fengzhou City.

"It's done! Waaah, my husband!" Tian Chaoyu looked at the yin and yang figures before her and finally burst into tears.

As was her usual custom, she would throw "divine cups" at night to consult with her ancestors about household affairs.

Unexpectedly, when inquiring about the success of Bai'er's imperial examination, the "yin cup" was thrown three times in a row, which was an unprecedentedly bad omen.

In a panic, she grabbed Xia Liangjun and knelt in the ancestral hall all night, changing her story countless times. She even bathed, burned incense, and kowtowed repeatedly.

But all she got in return were "yin cups" (a type of negative energy in Chinese astrology). Her behavior became increasingly erratic, and occasionally "laughing cups" (another type of negative energy in Chinese astrology) would appear, but these could no longer comfort the panicked people.

Searching for any movement,

Xia Yiliu and Xia Youqing, a married couple, arrived at the ancestral hall one after the other and knelt down. In the end, it was Yu Lingling who persuaded his wife to stop, saying that he would take the blame himself and that if they still couldn't throw the "holy chalice" by dawn, they would set off for the capital immediately.

finally,

Just as Xia Yibai successfully obtained the examination basket prepared at home, Tian Chaoyu of Fengzhou City finally cast the "Holy Grail" hexagram.

One yin and one yang indicate that the desired outcome is feasible.

Much later,

A major incident has occurred in literary circles: a wealthy student from Dingzhou City has been reported for cheating and is now unable to take the exam.

He then harbored thoughts of revenge and secretly hid cheating devices in the best-selling and most high-end test kits in Dingzhou.

In reality, the test takers who bought the items never needed them, but once it was revealed that the items were defective, none of them could escape punishment.

Presumption of guilt.

This action resulted in many innocent candidates being expelled from the exam hall for cheating, prompting a thorough investigation that finally cleared those students of wrongdoing.

However, the exam was over, and the rankings had already been determined.

In any case, they can only suffer this undeserved disaster.

Xia Yibai heard about this and found the set of exam supplies that Xia Yisong had exchanged in Dingzhou. He then discovered the unscrupulous cheat sheet hidden in the inkstone.

I felt extremely scared!

If it weren't for Fu Zhao's arrangements that saved time, Xia Yisong wouldn't have been able to deliver the items from home to the examination hall earlier.

If it weren't for treasuring his family's good intentions, Xia Yibo wouldn't have patiently waited for his older brother to arrive; instead, he would have entered the examination hall early with the other examinees.

This time

They not only saved the Crown Prince, but also received a reward from His Majesty, who granted him permission to reopen the case of Xia Liangjun's embezzlement.

He also made a fortune during Xia Yibai's imperial examination!

"Dong dong qiang!" A group of officials and yamen runners arrived at the Xia family's gate with gongs and drums.

Among them were two familiar figures: Fu Zhao and Fu Shi. Their faces wore gentle smiles, a smile befitting their first meeting, as they offered their congratulations in rhythm with the music.

"Congratulations, Young Master Xia! You ranked ninth in the high school!"

"Congratulations! Thank you all!"

"I've made a fortune! Second Sister!" Xia Youtian jumped three feet high, waving a red silk ribbon, causing Fu Zhao to stumble.

The other person had a perverted grin on their face, which made Xia Yisong tense up all the muscles in his body.
