Cai Ji thought Xu Yun wanted to ask about some academic matters.

This gave him great satisfaction.

He even felt a little proud, and looked at Xu Yun with more favor: This woman really knows what's good!

However, Xu Yun's words froze Cai Ji's smug smile on his face. His originally rosy complexion also completely lost its color.

Xu Yun asked him, "Lord Cai, why are you targeting our Qingji Cake?"

These words were like a slap in the face, leaving Cai Ji unable to recover.

He looked at Xu Yun in shock and anger, not understanding how Xu Yun dared to do that - how dare she say this at this time!

And, how did she know?!

Xu Yun just looked at Cai Ji with a smile.

Some people around Cai Ji had already started whispering.

But no one stood up to question Xu Yun on behalf of Cai Ji, or to scold Xu Yun.

It has come to this, who is the fool?

Just one look and you'll know there's something wrong!

The scene was a bit weird for a while.

Finally, Xiao Zheguang blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "What did he do?"

After all, he was still young, and Xiao Zheguang didn't consider Cai Ji's feelings at all. He was just curious.

Of course, he doesn't have to consider Cai Ji's feelings.

After all, the Xiao family is still slightly stronger than the Cai family.

To Xu Yun, this sentence was like someone sending a pillow to a sleepy person. Xu Yun smiled and answered immediately.

When Xu Yun briefly mentioned the incident of slapping the child and framing the fake cakes, everyone's expressions became a little subtle.

People nowadays still admire the gentlemanly conduct.

A gentleman is upright and has noble character. He would never do such a thing!

Some people quietly moved away from Cai Ji.

Cai Ji finally calmed down a little at this moment. He looked at Xu Yun angrily: "What does this have to do with me?!"

Xu Yun still smiled, still gentle: "Someone told me that this matter was instigated by Lord Cai."

She paused, looked at Cai Ji, and explained, "That's why I wanted to ask you this question when I saw Mr. Cai today. After all, I don't have the chance to see Mr. Cai on weekdays."

These words...

Cai Ji could hardly contain his anger, and his voice became much higher: "You believe what others say? How dare you ask! Xu Yun, do you have no brains!"

Seeing Cai Ji like this, Xu Yun knew that he was in a state of confusion, so he immediately stopped and said, "I'm sorry, the other party is very sure of what he said. Besides, I have been confused and felt that Mr. Cai really didn't need to do such a thing."

"This doubt is like a thorn in my throat, so I took the liberty to answer it."

Her apology was sincere.

Anyone who sees it can feel her sincerity.

Cai Ji wanted to say something more, but his friend pulled him back and he came to his senses. In the end, he just said coldly: "That's very presumptuous of you. Don't say anything without evidence in the future!"

When he said this, he really looked like an innocent person who was wrongly accused.

A little angry, but not upset.

Xu Yun apologized with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Cai, for clearing up my doubts. Next time I will definitely find evidence and deal with this matter."

Cai Ji looked at Xu Yun, flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, turned around and stopped looking at her.

But in fact, in his heart... there was only infinite fear and panic: Xu Yun actually wanted to find evidence for this matter!

Besides, who told Xu Yun?

Cai Ji's mind was full of random thoughts, but he also had to deal with other people's concerns, which made him extremely annoyed.

Xu Yun walked back to Zeng Wuji with satisfaction.

When passing by Gao Xu, she and Gao Xu looked at each other again.

Gao Xu's gaze made people feel that he seemed to know everything.

But Xu Yun didn't care and just walked away with a smile.

Zeng Wuji was stunned.

Zhao Mu and Lu An were also standing here now.

Zhao Mu disagreed: "After all, it's in the palace, and the news might get to His Majesty."

Wouldn't that just ruin the image?

Lu An didn't say anything, but seemed to be thinking about something.

Zeng Wuji grinned and said, "It's so refreshing! You didn't see the look in Cai Ji's eyes when he looked at us just now! Ah Yun, you are really like this!"

He gave Xu Yun a thumbs up.

His face was full of admiration.

He also wanted to do this to embarrass Cai Ji, but he did not dare to offend Cai Ji.

There is no good reason.

But Xu Yun——

Zeng Wuji felt that Xu Yun was really brave!

Xu Yun smiled and said, "I was going to ask him anyway."

Zeng Wuji lowered his voice excitedly, his eyebrows and eyes showing joy: "Maybe Cai Ji won't get a good rank this time! Let's see what he will be so arrogant about then!"

Look at Gao Xu!

They are all from noble families, why is there such a big gap between them?

Lu An glanced at Xu Yun, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked inquiringly.

Xu Yun smiled and took the initiative to explain: "I have a little conflict with him, but I am not a big shot."

So, I hold a grudge.

Lu An understood.

In a moment, everyone was together.

Then the officials led them to the Golden Palace.

Of course there is not enough space in the Golden Temple, so many tables are set up outside the Golden Temple.

The sun in June is extremely scorching. After a while, I feel like the oil will come out.

Xu Yun glanced at Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu and sighed in his heart: They will probably suffer outside.

This time the seating arrangement was entirely based on ranking.

As the third, Xu Yun is right under the noses of the two majesties.

As for Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu, they were indeed placed outside.

But it was not like what Xu Yun thought, that he was suffering outside.

Next to each table, there is a large umbrella supported by bamboo poles.

People sit under umbrellas. Although it is hot, at least they are not that exposed to the sun.

Xu Yun looked at the rows of large umbrellas and suddenly felt that the two emperors were indeed very considerate of them, the examinees.

It is their blessing to follow such a monarch.

After sitting in his seat, Xu Yun quickly composed himself.

Their Majesties will definitely not come now. They will wait until the exam starts.

So at this moment, they just familiarized themselves with the seating arrangement, and if they wanted to go to the toilet or something, they would go there quickly.

The eunuchs have already talked about this.

Xu Yun is a little palace maid speaking here.

The young maid looked young, but she was very brave, with a round face and dimples when she smiled. She looked at Xu Yun curiously, then explained her duties, and emphasized again: "This is arranged by Her Majesty the Queen, and it will not cause any inconvenience to Xu Jinshi."

Xu Yun first thanked the two chairs for the emperor, and then asked the maid to take her there.

It was not known whether Gao Xu really had no such need, but he sat upright in his seat, motionless.

Cai Ji didn't go either.

He was still thinking about what Xu Yun had said, and was still wondering who was working against him behind the scenes.

However, no one whispered.

After all, no one wants to affect their image in front of His Majesty - how do you know that His Majesty hasn't sent someone to keep an eye on them?
