But she didn't expect that Pu He was so confident.

I didn't complete my sister's order...

"You go down first. I already know everything." Mi Qingxue waved her hand.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Mi Qingxue did not stay in the mansion any longer. She ordered someone to prepare a carriage for her as she wanted to go to Qin Yan's place.

……

"Brother Pu, how is it? Does Princess Liao Ning like you?"

"Brother Pu, is Princess Liao Ning going to offer you an official position?"

"Brother Pu, when you become successful in the future, please don't forget me, your brother!"

"..."

After Pu He left the Ruyang Palace, he randomly chose a teahouse. As soon as he sat down, the students who knew him surrounded him.

Pu He looked at them with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, the news spread so quickly. I had just come out of Ruyang Palace not long ago, but so many people knew about it.

But when you think about it, it is normal. After all, I am very popular among the students in the capital.

It is normal for some people to pay attention to their own situation.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess really values ​​me and wants me to help her, but I thought that I had to give myself an explanation after studying so hard for so many years, so I rejected Her Royal Highness the Princess's kindness and chose to continue taking the exam with everyone else."

Pu He smiled and spoke.

Hearing this, the students around were silent for a moment, but soon they couldn't help but start talking again.

"Brother Pu, how confident do you have to be to reject Her Royal Highness the Princess? Well, well, I think I'll be the runner-up again this year."

"Brother Pu is so generous!"

"Brother Pu, if I had an opportunity like you, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to refuse. Brother Pu, you are worthy of being our role model!"

"Brother Pu, what can I say to you? Well, now, you will definitely take up a place, and our chances of passing the exam will be even smaller, alas~~"

"You said that Brother Pu can't help Her Royal Highness the Princess anymore, so can Her Royal Highness the Princess be interested in me?"

"..."

Some people admire Pu He's noble character, while others are naturally jealous.

After all, in their opinion, if Puhe did not take the imperial examination directly, then they would have one more place.

However, as long as Puhe takes the exam, their competitiveness will be greater.

"I don't know, how about giving it a try?"

"I think it's okay."

"Go and try it. Go and try it."

"..."

Everyone pushed each other, and soon, the many students who had gathered around Puhe left the teahouse and headed towards Ruyang Palace.

Pu He: “…”

No, these people, don’t they really think that anyone can work for the princess?

However, these people's reactions made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Originally, he thought that his rejection of Princess Liao Ning was such a heroic act!

Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely look upon him with new eyes.

Even other students must have admired his character that could not be changed by poverty and humbleness.

But now it seems that they all feel a little stupid.

In fact, their current behavior made him feel as if he had voluntarily given up something particularly important...

No, he wants to go and take a look.

Pu He couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and went to Prince Ruyang's Palace.

Gu Shuyan left the restaurant with a book in his hand and noticed that many people seemed to be heading towards one place.

"Strange."

He muttered, slightly curious.

He stopped a man and asked, "I don't know, what's going on? Why is everyone going in that direction now?"

If he remembered correctly, that direction seemed to be where some nobles lived.

Aren’t they afraid of offending some important person by going this way?

You know, in Kyoto, a falling vase could potentially kill an official.

Those who lived in that direction were either royal relatives or high-ranking officials of at least the third rank. These ordinary students who didn't even have any academic achievements could not afford to offend them!

"do not you know?"

The man he stopped looked at him with a strange look.

"Know what?" Gu Shuyan was even more puzzled.

He just asked because he didn't know!

If he knew, he would be the same as them now!

"It's Master Pu of Puhe. He rejected Princess Liao Ning's invitation. That means there is an extra position available at Princess Liao Ning's place. Now, everyone is eager to go over and try to see if they can get this position for themselves!"

"Okay, I won't say any more to you. I need to hurry over there. Don't miss it."

Seeing the man leaving in a hurry, Gu Shuyan: "..."

No, there’s no point in going there for something like this!

Isn't it the right way to take the imperial examination on your own?

What's more, since Pu He refused, how could that be a good position?

Besides, they don’t really think that a princess would be unemployed, right?

It’s never their turn!

However, he did not expect that Pu He would actually reject Princess Liao Ning.

I heard that this princess used to have a bad temper, but in the past six months or so, her temperament has changed a lot. She often goes out to provide free medical treatment and is very popular among the people.

In other words, if you can really work under her, then it would be pretty good.

But what does this have to do with him...

Gu Shuyan shook off the mess in his mind.

He turned and walked towards his own residence.

"I'm telling you, Gu Qi, your entire Gu family depends on me. For so many years, I have worked hard for you without complaint, but you are so good that you actually support someone outside for me!"

The woman's voice was fierce and filled with anger.

Gu Shuyan frowned.

This is the fifth time this has happened in the past week.

Unexpectedly, he was arguing when he went out and was still arguing when he came back!

Just last week, his mother discovered that his father Gu Qi seemed to have a mistress outside, but he didn't know how many years he had been keeping her.

However, his mother was a hot-tempered person to begin with, and after finding out about this, she naturally refused to give in.

I heard that he went to settle the score with his mistress.

After coming back, he started smashing things at home.

He suggested that now that he was grown up, he could divorce his mother and live with her outside.

However, his mother was unwilling and even called him an ungrateful person.
