After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute

After a burst of excitement, someone in the crowd shouted, "Come here, come this way."

Guyu and Li Jiao were hooking their necks, their petite bodies almost getting pushed down. They managed to calm themselves, and the three people who were being paraded had already walked up to them.

The leader rode on a red-maned horse, wearing a red round-necked champion robe with cloud patterns outlined in gold thread on the lapels and cuffs, a big red flower tied across the middle, and a champion hat on his head.

His facial features are three-dimensional, his jawline is distinct, his lips are slightly pursed, his eyes are looking straight ahead, and the big red flower on his chest makes him look like a groom.

"This top scholar is so handsome."

"Yes, I heard that he hasn't married yet. The noble ladies in the capital must be fighting for his spot. I wonder which master's son-in-law he will become."

Guyu was stunned. Why did this top scholar look so familiar? Could it be that he had seen him somewhere before?

One of them lost his balance and was pushed by someone behind him, and fell into Li Jiao's arms.

Li Jiao helped the man up and said unhappily, "Be careful, you bumped into someone."

The man on the horse heard that he had bumped into someone, so he turned around and saw the back of a boy wearing a hat. He couldn't see his face clearly, and he stood up by climbing onto the shoulders of another boy.

He turned around and continued walking. Guyu stood up and took another look at the number one scholar who had already passed by. He suppressed the strangeness in his heart and looked at the second and third place scholars behind him.

After Li Jiao helped her stand steadily, she gestured to the third place winner behind her with both hands, "Brother Xu, here!"

The sound was so loud that the people nearby couldn't stand it, "Why is this young man so loud?"

Guyu felt embarrassed and turned to everyone and said, "I'm really sorry, the Tanhua is someone we know, so we were a little excited."

"Oh, that's your brother, so cool."

Another person didn't believe it, "Hey, why don't you say that the top scholar is your brother?"

Don't tell me, it's true.

Then they saw the scholar on horseback waving at them, "Be careful."

Li Jiao excitedly pulled Gu Yu and said, "Brother Xu saw us, he saw us."

When I was about to pass by, I heard him shout again, "Go back quickly."

The people next to him believed it and said with envy, "It really is your brother, so amazing."

"That's it." Li Jiao pulled Gu Yu out, "You see, Brother Xu is so handsome and talented. If he wasn't so good-looking, he would definitely be the top scorer."

Although Guyu agreed, she didn't think so in her heart. She thought the top scholar was more handsome.

There were too many people outside, and they were about to go back after everyone had passed. Suddenly, a riot broke out nearby, and they heard people talking about robbery or something like that.

Guyu escorted Li Jiao back. Seeing more and more people coming, Guyu thought it was over when several guards appeared behind him, "Miss Guyu, I will escort you back."

The two returned to the palace under the protection of the guards, and were caught red-handed by the princess.

Guyu quickly bowed, and the princess almost fainted when she saw how they were dressed.

"You, what are you wearing? It's really inappropriate!"

Guyu quickly knelt down to plead guilty. Li Jiao took the princess's hand and walked inside. "Mother, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

The princess knew what she meant, but she thought about who would be responsible if something happened if the two of them went out like this without the guards, so she said sternly: "Guyu, kneel down, and don't get up without your order."

"Mother..."

The princess said, "You are still begging for her to stay with her."

Guyu winked at Li Jiao, who reluctantly went in. She sat on the couch and said dissatisfiedly, "Mother, I asked her to go with me. It's not her fault."

The princess reached out and tapped her forehead: "You, you don't look like a lady at all, what a shame."

"Did you meet the number one scholar today?"

Li Jiao was very happy when this topic was mentioned: "I saw it, and I also saw Brother Xu, the third place winner. He is very handsome."

The princess scolded: "Girls are so old that they can't be kept here. Now they want to get married."

"whee"

"I'm going back now. Don't do anything stupid again, or I'll beat you with the Guyu stick."

"Yes." Li Jiao knew that her mother's words were final, so she agreed honestly. She didn't want Guyu to get beaten.

He sent the princess out the door and said, "Take care, mother." Just as he was about to help Guyu up, the princess turned around and said, "Guyu, you have to kneel for a full stick of incense before you can get up."

After saying this, he left and sent someone to keep an eye on him.

Li Jiao went in and got a pillow to put on the ground. Guyu didn't dare to use it, thinking that it was only thirty minutes and it wouldn't be a big problem. Although she didn't know what thirty minutes meant, she thought of it subconsciously.

Li Jiao saw that she insisted and it was difficult to persuade her, after all, her mother's spy was nearby. So she took a small stool and sat beside her waiting for her. It was not until the incense stick of time was up and the little maid came to remind her that she helped Guyu up.

Li Jiao flattered: "You've suffered a lot today. I'll ask the kitchen to make you something delicious to replenish your body later."

Guyu watched the maid go away, then said, "Then I want to drink carrot and bone soup."

Li Jiao looked at the little maid, "Go, tell her that I want to drink carrot and bone soup tonight."

After entering, Li Jiao helped her sit on the stool and asked, "Does your leg hurt? Do you want to see a doctor?"

"No, I'm fine, but I want to rest for a while."

Li Jiao said, "Then go back. I'll ask the maid to bring you food later."

Guyu returned to the room and felt very tired. He took off his shoes and went to sleep. He always dreamed of wolves and peppers in his dreams.

In Li Yu's courtyard, a guard came in and said, "Master..."

Li Yu hummed: "Are they back?"

The guard replied, "Yes, the princess and Miss Guyu were caught by the princess when they entered the house. Miss Guyu was punished to kneel for an incense stick of time."

After the guard said this, Chang'an, who was grinding ink next to him, paused for a moment. A little ink got on his sleeve, and he immediately pushed his sleeve up a little.

Li Yu looked up, an emotion flashed across his eyes, "Are you up now?"

"I got up. I just said I felt a little uncomfortable and went back to my room to rest."

Li Yu lowered his eyes: "Well, go down."

When Chang'an heard that Guyu was not feeling well, his face was full of worry and he looked absent-minded, but the man next to him didn't notice.

Li Yu: "Changan!"

Changan put down the grinding ingot: "Sir."

"Give the porcelain bottle on the table over there, and don't say it was given by me."

"Yes." Chang'an knew that it was the best medicine for curing diseases, but he didn't know why the third young master was willing to give it to Guyu.

A possibility flashed through his mind, and he immediately rejected it. No, the young master must have sent the medicine because of the princess. He didn't want the princess to be sad. This must be the case.

He took the medicine over, but Guyu was sleeping. He felt a little disappointed and gave the medicine bottle to the maid, "Then please give it to her later."

The little maid smiled and said, "It's no trouble."

Outside the palace gate, the top three candidates who had just met the emperor came out, and the third place winner greeted the first place winner skillfully.

"Brother Su, my father insisted that I take you home to visit him after he found out it was you. Would you mind coming with me today?"

That’s right, the top scholar in front of him is Su Yi, and the third place scholar Xu Zijin is the second son of Mr. Xu, the former prefect of Qingyang County.

It was not until Su Yi came to Beijing that Lord Xu saw the list of successful candidates and remembered Su Yi, so he asked his son to interact with him more often.

Chu Yi said, "Wait a few days. Have you forgotten that you have to go to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow?"

Xu Zijin suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, yes, I forgot, see you tomorrow at the Prince's Mansion."

After saying this, he got in the family's carriage and drove away.
