Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband

He had also developed a grudge against Su Yaoguang, and time flew by.

In the Drunken Spring Pavilion, Yichen leaned back on the soft couch, looking at the poems in his hand.

With eyes full of admiration, January suddenly entered from outside the door.

"Sect Master, I'm back! News from Longhu Mountain!"

Yi Chen then adjusted his posture and sat up straighter.

He spoke calmly, "Speak!"

"The situation at Longhu Village is rather strange, involving the Crossing Dragon and dozens of bandits."

They inexplicably appeared at the government office gate in the middle of the night!

Moreover, the day after Guojianglong was captured, Longhu Village was burned to the ground!

My subordinates have discovered a young man who escaped from Dragon Tiger Stronghold and obtained some information!

He said he was rescued from the clutches of a powerful outlaw by a chivalrous hero.

However, I couldn't see the person's face clearly, I only knew that it was a woman!

There's still no news about the tiger descending the mountain, but his men have reported back.

Several groups of people have secretly come to Yuntian Prefecture; we don't know what their purpose is!

This is the information that Dark Night Pavilion has gathered in the past few days!

Yi Chen's brows furrowed suddenly. "Is the Dark Night Pavilion really this bad these days?"

We haven't found a single definite piece of information. Looks like it's time to intensify training!

After saying so much, not a single piece of information was useful: "Where did the several groups of people come from, and why did they all appear at the same time by such a coincidence?"

There's definitely something fishy going on. Also, what happened to that Han Zixuan you were asked to investigate?

This poem is indeed excellent, and this person seems to be different from others as well!

Yi Yue bowed and said, "This Miss Han is a student from Mingxi County who came to the prefectural city to take the exam!"

"Master, are you interested in this person?"

With a glimmer of starlight in his eyes, the Pavilion Master is no longer young!

Yi Chen rolled his eyes at him. "I'm not interested, but this poem is indeed quite good."

"That's somewhat interesting! Heh, well, let's find out which factions are involved first!"

"The results are out! The results are out!"

"Quick, quick, let's go take a look together!!"

"Don't rush! Don't rush."

"After the results are posted, the yamen runners will beat gongs to announce the rankings! What you're doing makes you a laughing stock."

Early in the morning, everyone was waiting in the lobby of the inn.

They sat upright, but their anxious expressions were evident as they glanced at the pedestrians passing by on the street.

Han Zixuan and Ji Xiao sat around the table!

Ji Xiao looked at the group with a distressed expression.

"I wonder how I did on the exam..."

The group looked on, unsure how to comfort Ji Xiao and the others, each of them feeling anxious!

Finally, Meng Xueming couldn't hold back any longer and said calmly, "The path to the imperial examination has never been easy. Lady Ji, just do your best!"

Comforting her is also a way of comforting myself!

Han Zixuan nodded and echoed, "It's just a way to prove to myself how hard I've worked all these years!"

After all, Ji Xiao's previous rankings weren't that great!

"Boom!"

The sound of the gong rang out, and everyone tensed up!

Looking out, I soon saw two constables carrying gongs and drums walking towards Xiangyun Inn!

The innkeeper of Xiangyun Inn stood at the door to greet us early in the morning.

"Greetings, Lady Guan!"

It's clear that the shopkeeper and that official's wife are acquainted!

The official's wife smiled and cupped her hands in greeting.

"Ms. Ji Xiao of Mingxi County may stay here!"

Everyone was surprised; Ji Xiao was the first among the students to receive the ranking notification.

Han Zixuan, Zhuang Xinyan, and the other two looked surprised at first, then happily looked at Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao, who had been lying there looking dejected, sat up straight as soon as she heard her name called!

He hurriedly raised his hand high and shouted out before the shopkeeper could answer.

"I...I'm here! I am Ji Xiao!"

I was so excited, my face was full of enthusiasm!

The official's wife quickly came to their table with a smile.

He solemnly unfolded the red paper and read aloud, "Ji Xiao from Mingxi County has passed the prefectural examination, ranking 186th!"

"I...I won! Me, Ji Xiao? Is it me? Ji Xiao from Mingxi County?"

Incredibly, he grabbed the official's wife for a final confirmation.

The official's wife was also bewildered, and then carefully verified Ji Xiao's identity.

She said accurately, "It is you, Lady Ji, ranked 226th."

Ji Xiao excitedly turned to the people behind him and said happily.

"Haha, Sister Zixuan, did you hear that? I won! I'm now a virgin bride! Haha!"

Han Zixuan and the others congratulated her with smiles, "Hehe, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Ms. Ji, congratulations!"

As she laughed, tears streamed down Ji Xiao's face.

Han Zixuan was overjoyed to see Ji Xiao, while the constable standing to the side was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

He took out two pieces of silver from his sleeve, which weighed about five or six taels.

"Thank you both, ladies. I am so happy that I have kept you waiting!"

Seeing the silver in their hands, the yamen runners smiled; they had fought tooth and nail for this job.

This was all for the sake of pleasing these young scholars and their wives with the reward money.

Seeing Ji Xiao's reaction, they were a little worried about whether they would be able to get a reward!

Unexpectedly, the person next to me was quite sensible. "Hehe, it's inevitable that the lady will forget things when she's happy. This is the first one we sisters signed up for."

There are other students waiting, so let's share the good news with them first!

The two constables then left, banging the gong again, leaving the inn's inhabitants puzzled.

"How...how did we get here? Could it be...that none of us tested!"

"Really? Only this female ruler has been infected? No... surely not!"

"That's right, that's right! Are we all inferior to this female ruler?"

Everyone's faces were gloomy, and gradually some students became restless and walked towards Han Zixuan's table.

The shopkeeper quickly stepped in to stop them, saying, "Hehe, you all don't know this, but there's a specific order to how the yamen runners announce good news."

The first to announce the good news was the last-place candidate in this year's prefectural examination, and so on.

The last to announce the good news was the head of the prefectural examination committee.

Only then did everyone suppress their impulse and return to their seats!

He looked at Ji Xiao, who was still overjoyed, with disdain.

"Tch, last place, and still so happy!"

"Hehe, that's quite rare. After all, even being ranked last means you've already passed the preliminary exam, right?"

Ji Xiao ignored the others' ridicule and looked smug.

"What's so funny about you? I'm afraid there are some among you who are not as good as me!"

"Now that I am a confirmed virgin bride, if you continue to make fun of me like this, you'll be punished with a beating!"

Everyone thought it made sense, so they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Han Zixuan gave Ji Xiao a thumbs-up, cupped her hands, and made a fawning face.

"Excellent, excellent! Please take good care of me, Miss Tongsheng, in the future!"

Meng Xueming and Zhuang Xinyan exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles.

Ji Xiao straightened his clothes and said calmly, "Ahem, we can talk about it from now on!"

"Hehe, Sister Zixuan, what are you doing!"

I just wanted to show off a little! With your combined knowledge, you're definitely more knowledgeable than me.

After a few laughs, the group sat down again, waiting for the bailiff to announce the good news.

"Wang Yue'e from Shuiyang County ranked 172nd in the provincial examination!"

"I won! Haha, I won too!"

"Ranked 132nd in the Minxian County Prefectural Examination!"

Zhang Zitong from Huaiyang County ranked 115th in the provincial examination.

"Haha, I, I'm Zhang Zitong's parents' child, I've passed the exam..."

"........."

Everyone waited anxiously as the constables repeatedly announced the good news.
