Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Chapter 90 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (24)

When Shen Yunzhao woke up, he saw Gu Shuqiao sleeping next to him, the dark circles under his eyes saying it all.

Shen Yunzhao buried herself in Gu Shuqiao's arms; it was always warm and always safe there.

I fell asleep again.

When she saw the results of the provincial examination, Nuonuo said she was not surprised.

One first place, one second place.

With a host present, the protagonist can only be second.

Finally, only the palace examination remained.

On the day of the palace examination, Sheng Yuan sensed an aura of evil power emanating from the emperor, but it wasn't very strong.

Therefore, the possessed person is in the imperial city.

Who is it?

Sheng Yuan already had a guess in his mind, but he used magic to remove the evil aura from the emperor.

Sheng Yuan thought to himself, "I hope the emperor won't let me waste this effort."

The emperor, sitting on the platform, suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated.

My mood improved immediately.

And so it was true; the emperor was very pleased when he named the top three scholars: the first, second, and third.

In the end, Sheng Yuan became the top scholar, the third-ranked scholar was a scion of a prominent family from the imperial concubine's maternal clan, and Gu Shuqiao became the second-ranked scholar.

However, this third-place scholar was in a very awkward position because the emperor made it clear that he had chosen from among the scholars who did not have the talents of Sheng Yuan and Gu Shuqiao.

The parade of the top scholar was the highlight of the event.

Everyone in the capital seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

When the three of them came out, it caused a sensation throughout the city.

Many women and men prepared sachets.

"This top scholar is truly handsome; I wonder if he's married..."

"This second-place scholar is also handsome; I think it would be good to marry him..."

"The third-ranked scholar is handsome too, they're all handsome, I want them all..."

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

"Handsome top scholar, do you have someone you love?"

……

Sheng Yuan walked past without expression, offering no response.

The procession moved forward slowly when suddenly Sheng Yuan, who was at the front, stopped, leaned down and snapped his fingers at a young man, and a bright red rose appeared in his hand.

"Young man, I am a top scholar who has married into the family; am I a match for you?"

Everyone looked at this young man with disbelief and envy. He was wearing a light blue cloak, had a handsome face, and his hair and makeup were simple and exquisite. The red mole at the corner of his eye was unusually bright, indicating that he had been pampered.

[Ding! Target's affection level: 70%]

"What do you mean by this, top scholar?" Lin Nan asked irritably as he accepted the roses.

Sheng Yuan's eyes flickered, carrying a hint of flirtatious meaning: "Flowers are given to a beautiful woman's hand, and affection is given to a beloved."

[Ding! Target's affection level: 80%]

“But I’m already married, aren’t I, my husband?” Lin Nan said with interest, holding a rose in her hand.

Only after hearing this did everyone realize that the two were a married couple.

Sheng Yuan laughed, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hahaha... Yes, so my beloved husband, would you like to parade through the streets with me?"

"How could I refuse such a kind invitation from my husband?" Lin Nan placed his hand on Sheng Yuan's hand.

Sheng Yuan grasped Lin Nan's hand and pulled him into his arms with a forceful pull.

Lin Nan sat sideways in front of Sheng Yuan, with Sheng Yuan's arm around Lin Nan's waist.

Lin Nan was so embarrassed by this blatant act that he almost burned alive.

[Ding! Target's affection level: 90%]

"Nanbao, are you happy now?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Nan looked up. He recalled his husband's words when they first married: "I don't need you to be useful, I need you to be happy."

Lin Nan's eyes reddened slightly: "I am very happy. With my husband by my side, we will be happy together forever!"

[Ding! Target's happiness level: 50%]

Sheng Yuan grasped his hand and said, "Yes, we'll be happy together forever!"

[Ding! Target's happiness level: 60%]

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.

The entire capital knew that the handsome top scholar had a beautiful husband.

In love, being firmly chosen and undisguisedly favored is always the most touching.

Nuonuo sighed as she watched her heart rate soar.

Gu Shuqiao stood expressionless, partly because he hadn't seen his Zhaozhao, and partly because his brother Yuan was really good at this; it made him so jealous!

Just then, Gu Shuqiao looked up and saw a spot in Fuyuanlou. Upon seeing the person there, he smiled brightly.

Then he continued to parade through the streets with a blank expression.

Seeing this reaction, everyone was curious about who this person was who could make the runner-up smile so brightly.

Suddenly, Sheng Yuan looked up, his eyes filled with coldness as he stared in a certain direction.

[Host, these are the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Princess. The Seventh Prince, Liang Nan, is Zhao's child, and the Eighth Princess is the daughter of the Imperial Concubine.]

Sheng Yuan withdrew his gaze.

Gu Shuqiao suddenly leaned forward and asked, "Isn't your brother-in-law waiting upstairs with Zhaozhao?"

"Nuonuo saved this spot for me. Brother Zhao said he had something to do, so he was just coming to take a look and then leaving. There will be too many people if we come down, and it will be difficult to leave later."

After Gu Shuqiao found out, he nodded.

They didn't hide their words, so everyone around them heard them.

This confirms the relationship between the two couples.

The story of the top scholar parading through the streets with his husband became a legend in the capital.

But at the same time, time is brewing a war.

[Host, the enemy's invasion has been brought forward.]

Upon hearing this news, Sheng Yuan couldn't help but glance at Gu Shuqiao, who was socializing with others at the Qionglin Banquet.

"Brother Yuan, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Spend some quality time with your husband." After all, you'll be spending less time together in the future.

"Huh? Oh, I see." Although Gu Shuqiao didn't understand, listening to Brother Yuan was always the right thing to do.

When the time came to end, Sheng Yuan got into his carriage and left.

What a joke! What could be more comfortable than holding your sweet, soft husband at a banquet?

Lin Nan obediently waited at home for Sheng Yuan to return, only to find Sheng Yuan, dressed in the robes of a top scholar, drunk.

Sheng Yuan, still half-asleep, clung to Lin Nan and refused to let go.

"Nanbao smells so good~" Shengyuan buried his face in Lin Nan's neck and inhaled deeply.

Lin Nan helped Sheng Yuan take off his scholar's robes while he was in this position.

Sheng Yuan felt his movements, pinned him down, and laughed, "So my husband is in such a hurry~"

"Don't talk nonsense..." Lin Nan was silenced by Sheng Yuan before he could finish speaking.

Sheng Yuan kept touching him, refusing to stop.

His eyes were no longer dazed.

Lin Nan said angrily, "You're not drunk...you're lying to me..."

“I didn’t lie to Nanbao… Do you like it if the top scholar comes to serve you?” Shengyuan coaxed.

"like……"

……

Lin Nan failed to get up the next day.

"Nanbao, why don't you open your eyes now that you're awake?" Shengyuan hugged him from behind.

Lin Nan slapped Sheng Yuan across the face, saying in a cute but fierce tone, "You lied to me!"

Lin Nan's hand was weak; his slap was like a kitten's scratch to Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan held him in his arms, leaned him against the headboard, and massaged his lower back, saying, "I wasn't lying to Nanbao, I really did drink quite a bit. I couldn't resist when I saw Nanbao~"

Lin Nan reached out and covered his mouth, complaining, "You're being indecent!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my husband is right."

Meanwhile, in the imperial palace, in the concubine's bedchamber, the Eighth Princess was clinging to the concubine's arm and acting coquettishly.

"Mother, please help your child! I really like him!"
