I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"Don't be afraid. It's a good thing that my elder brother is stronger than me. He won't bully me. Besides, he can protect me and make great contributions in the army."

"I don't have any aspirations. Building achievements is the job of my brothers."

"Princess, can I show my elder brother the sword manual?"

Qiao Linxi nodded: "Okay."

She admired Meng Qingyu's character very much. He might be the kind of person who didn't have any lofty ambitions and just wanted to be a rich kid who had no worries about food and drink.

"Thank you Princess. I will go back to my brother now."

Meng Qingyu was so excited that he hugged Qiao Linxi, and he used too much force and the heat made Qiao Linxi cry out in pain.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so happy at the time that I forgot you were injured."

Meng Qingyu immediately became nervous when he heard Qiao Linxi's cry of pain.

"It's okay. It's too late tonight. You can go back tomorrow."

Qiao Linxi also wanted to see if there were any other so-called martial arts secrets in the system.

[Of course, Xiaojiujiu has various mental methods and methods of refining various elixirs. Would you like to buy any, host? ]

The system felt a little frustrated. It was obviously the most powerful survival system, and its gratitude value far exceeded that of other systems. However, those gratitude values ​​could not be credited to her and could only be considered frozen.

To put it simply, Xiao Jiujiu is now like a salesperson in a supermarket. She knows that the customer has tens of millions of assets in his hands, but if the customer does not spend money in the supermarket, it cannot become hers.

She also needs to compete in sales volume in the system world, but now her sales volume ranks last.

I just feel a little unhappy.

Qiao Linxi agreed with the system's words, and the system quickly opened the mall, where all kinds of colorful books were displayed.

Qiao Linxi curled her lips again. These books looked like pirated books. What secrets of immortality, what secrets of beauty and skin care, and secrets of rejuvenation, they felt like charlatans.

[These books are very useful. If you don't believe me, you can buy them and have a look. They are produced by the system and must be high-quality.]

Qiao Linxi was not fooled. She glanced at the books in the mall and saw some books similar to those on state governance, and she made up her mind.

Seeing that Qiao Linxi did not spend gratitude points, the system became a little angry and directly closed the mall and ignored her.

"Princess, there will be a test at Tianqi Academy tomorrow. Do you want to go and see it?"

When Meng Qingyu calmed down, he remembered what the emperor and Gu Changfeng had said, and asked Qiao Linxi to select a group of people she liked and keep them in the princess's mansion.

"What's the test?"

"Students who want to participate in the Autumn Chamber can go to Tianqi Academy to take the test. If they stand out in the test, they may be directly promoted by the Ministry of Rites to serve as officials in the court. Some students who are eliminated in the test will go home directly and will not participate in the imperial examination."

Qiao Linxi was puzzled: "Isn't this an audition?"

"Open auditions?" Meng Qingyu had never heard of this term, but he continued to explain: "The competition held by Tianqi Academy is actually equivalent to an imperial examination. It's just open. Some students are obviously knowledgeable, but they get nervous and perform poorly when they get to the formal examination venue. So Tianqi Academy held such a competition, where students are very relaxed and can perform better."

"But those who come to the capital to take the imperial examination are all candidates who have passed the provincial examination. Generally, their knowledge is not too bad. Princess, you can go and have a look. If there is one you like, you can extend an olive branch. I'm sure there will be many students willing to follow you."

Qiao Linxi is a princess, and a princess with a title. Not to mention the students outside, there are many people in the capital who want to get on her bandwagon.

"Is that so? Then I have to go check it out."

Qiao Linxi became interested. How could she miss such a large-scale poetry conference?

"Then I will make arrangements and have Tianqi Academy give the princess a good position."

Qiao Linxi shook her head: "No, I will go directly there tomorrow and get in close contact with the students, so that I can better observe their character."

As for Qiao Linxi, she thinks you can be uneducated, but you can have bad character.

"There will definitely be a lot of people in the academy tomorrow. If we don't make arrangements in advance, I'm afraid our safety won't be guaranteed."

Meng Qingyu was a little worried about Qiao Linxi. She was injured now. If he didn't make arrangements in advance and just squeezed with those people, what would happen if she got bumped or bruised?

"Don't be afraid. Do those scholars want to bully me when they see a weak woman like me? They are well-versed in the books of sages."

"There are some hypocrites who are sanctimonious."

"Don't be afraid. If you are worried, just go with me."

Meng Qingyu could not change what Qiao Linxi had decided, so he just went downstairs to arrange for the guards to go out tomorrow.

He then considered whether he should ask Gu Changfeng for a few female guards so that he could protect Qiao Linxi.

The next day, before Qiao Linxi and Meng Qingyu went out, they saw someone in the princess's mansion.

A young man in a black robe was kneeling at the door of the princess's mansion, his eyes fixed on the door. There was a bunch of straw stuck on his head.

"Hey, isn't this the legitimate son of Marquis Jian'an? Why did he come to the princess's mansion to sell his head?"

"You don't know yet, do you? The Marquis of Jian'an's mansion is under siege."

"Ah? When did it happen? How come I didn't know about it?"

"How would a commoner like you know? I have an aunt who works at the Duke of Chen's mansion and heard it from people who went out to buy things. They said that when the Marquis of Jian'an was young, he made a mistake, and the emperor was furious and surrounded the mansion. It seemed that he wanted to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan."

"Also, I heard from my brother-in-law that Xu Yanzhou hired someone to kill the princess. What do you think, if this isn't a capital crime?"

"Then why is Master Xu kneeling here? Isn't this selling himself?"

"Hush, I heard that Princess Dingguo likes young and handsome men. I guess Mr. Xu wants to sell himself to the princess and then ask the princess to save the Xu family."

Amid the discussion of the crowd, the door of the princess's mansion slowly opened. Qiao Linxi saw the young man kneeling at the bottom of the stairs, and her eyelids twitched.

"Master Xu, why are you kneeling here?"

Meng Qingyu was also extremely surprised. Was Gu Changfeng's movements so fast?

"Princess, I am willing to sell myself as a slave. Please take me in."

The person who came was Xu Ruifeng. Although he was now a prisoner, he still knelt straight.

Qiao Linxi's brain exploded with a bang, and her body staggered and she almost fell. Fortunately, Meng Qingyu behind her supported her in time.

Qiao Linxi covered his chest with his hands, his voice trembling: "I knew it, I knew it!"

"Princess……"

Meng Qingyu didn't expect Gu Changfeng to act so quickly. He just mentioned Xu Ruifeng last night, and today he was kneeling here.

"Please take me in, Princess."

Xu Ruifeng looked at Qiao Linxi. They were not very familiar with each other, having only met once before. He did not expect that the next time they met would be like this.

He hated Qiao Linxi. If it weren't for her, how could their Jian'an Marquis Mansion have become prisoners?

But if he didn't come to ask Qiao Linxi for help, he would probably have no chance of survival.
