If he was just to be a minor official, or to entertain Princess Liao Ning, then when would his mother be able to truly enter the royal family?

What he wanted was never just to be an official.

His mother stayed out there for so many years just to be with his father.

He must work hard to help his mother achieve this wish!

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I have studied poetry and books for many years just to get a good name on the imperial examination one day and become a good official serving the country and the people with my own abilities. Therefore, I am afraid that I can only refuse Your Highness's kindness."

Pu He’s words were very pleasant to hear.

He did not say that he disliked the low position, but he also highlighted that he has a clear bottom line in his life and work.

"You do have some backbone. Actually, that's true. If you can pass the exam, you can do better than what I can give you."

Mi Qingxue straightened up slightly and looked at him, but the smile in her eyes did not reach her.

"But this is assuming you can pass the exam. What if you can't?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't you be missing out on a great opportunity if you rejected me right now? Some opportunities only come once. I do think you have good writing skills, but I'm not someone who likes to meddle in other people's business. This time is an exception, but there won't be a next time."

"Are you sure you want to refuse this opportunity?"

Pu He smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I feel really bad for rejecting Your Highness, but I have studied poetry and books for so many years, and I must give myself an answer in the end. If I don't even take the exam, then..."

"so……"

He bowed to Mi Qingxue.

"I can only let down your highness's kindness."

Mi Qingxue was a little surprised, but didn't say anything more.

"Since Master Pu has made up his mind, I would like to wish you success in the imperial examination."

He waved his hand and immediately a servant came over.

"See you off."

After saying that, she stood up without even giving Pu He the slightest glance.

Looking at Mi Qingxue's departing back, Pu He felt a sense of loss for the first time.

It’s not that he particularly wanted Mi Qingxue to like him.

However, Princess Liao Ning's attitude of leaving without saying goodbye made him always wonder whether there would be any accidents in his exam this time.

In other words, Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't really take herself seriously.

This doesn't seem like a desperate bid for talent.

perhaps……

He thought that the princess was curious about him only because she had heard about his talents in public, but seeing that he was so determined, she did not force him.

Yes, that must be the reason!

He would never think that there was anything wrong with him.

"Mr. Pu, please come this way."

The middle-aged man who had brought him here before reminded him and prepared to take him away from the house.

Pu He came back to his senses and smiled at the middle-aged man: "Thank you, brother."

"It's just a small matter. I didn't expect that Mr. Pu could refuse the invitation from our Princess. I have to say that he is really a great man of the time!" said the middle-aged man with a smile.

Pu He, who was originally feeling somewhat regretful and uncomfortable, suddenly felt that his previous refusal was not wrong after hearing his words.

The imperial examination!

I have been preparing and managing this for so many years, so I have to participate.

What's more, with his talent, he will definitely get a good ranking.

Who knows, Princess Liao Ning might look at him differently by then.

Although he has rejected the princess now, he has definitely planted a seed in her heart, which is his image as a man of great character.

Women all have a desire to admire strong men.

As long as you are strong enough, the previous rejections will become what they long for.

I will wait until I pass the imperial examination and then express my feelings to Princess Liao Ning. She will definitely be touched and will be eager to marry me!

Thinking of this, Pu He felt that he had never been so refreshed!

"Pu He really can't accept your highness's kindness. Pu He has studied for so many years and he always has to give an explanation to himself and his parents. So, he can only refuse your highness the princess's kindness." Pu He said.

The middle-aged man looked at him with admiration.

"Mr. Pu is indeed amazing. He is indeed different from ordinary people like us. It seems that Mr. Pu is very confident about this year's imperial examination."

"Whether you have confidence or not, you should always try." He paused.

Pu He smiled and said, "Besides, I can't let Her Royal Highness the Princess look down on me, right?"

"As a man of your stature, you must always rely on your own abilities to create your own world!"

The middle-aged man agreed: "Mr. Puhe is right!"

"However, how can most people have the bearing and knowledge of Mr. Pu? We can only live one day at a time."

The two chatted with each other and arrived outside the Prince Ruyang's Palace.

The middle-aged man bowed to him and said, "To hear Mr. Pu's words today is really better than reading for ten years. Next, I wish you success in the imperial examination."

Pu He returned the greeting: "Thank you, brother."

After watching Pu He leave, the middle-aged man went to see Mi Qingxue.

"Has the person been sent away?"

"Yes, Your Highness." The middle-aged man said respectfully.

"Did he show any regret?" Mi Qingxue asked.

The middle-aged man thought about Pu He's performance and shook his head: "No, on the contrary, he seems to be very confident in himself and thinks he will definitely pass the exam."

That being said, this situation is still rare.

The imperial examination itself is like a situation where thousands of troops are crossing a single-plank bridge. What's more, only those at the front are selected. How could he know that he could defeat the others?

In comparison, if he could follow Princess Liao Ning, his future would definitely be bright.

Most people know how to choose, but Pu He refused.

This is really surprising.

Mi Qingxue nodded.

How could Pu He not be confident?

According to her sister, this person plagiarized other people's articles and eventually became the prime minister of a country.

It can be said that he has the means and some literary talent.

Otherwise, even if it was plagiarism, it would be difficult for him to become so famous. After all, normally, it would be possible for him to do some academic work on his own.

If it's too lame, wouldn't it be too easy to make a fool of yourself?
