He stretched out his right index finger and made a “1” gesture to Lu Yao.

"First, ma'am, do you know what first means?"

His expression was filled with excitement that he could hardly conceal.

"I don't know."

Lu Yao shook her head. She seldom cared about these things. She just knew that if she took the imperial examination, she had to be listed on the imperial list. Apart from that, she didn't know much else.

"First, it means that it is very likely that our Shuyan will be the new top scorer this year!"

Gu Qi rubbed his hands excitedly.

"If he really becomes the top scholar, then Shuyan's future will be limitless!"

"I can already imagine how smooth Shuyan's career will be in the future!"

Since ancient times, anyone who passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar would definitely be valued by those in power.

As long as you are not too troublesome, there will be no bad consequences.

It can be said that becoming the top scholar is equivalent to opening a shortcut for yourself on the official path, and it is an extremely stable shortcut to promotion.

No matter which family or household this is, it is a major event that can bring honor to the ancestors!

"is it?"

Hearing this, Lu Yao was also very happy.

But when she thought about Gu Shuyan persuading her to divorce, her mood became not so good again.

How did I raise my child? How did I turn him into what he is now?

As soon as he got good grades, he actually wanted to kick his biological father away.

This is really...

She looked at Gu Qi's happy expression and felt a little guilty towards him.

It was she who failed to educate Gu Shuyan well...

"Madam, you have worked hard over the years to educate Shuyan so well. If he becomes a top scholar, then our Gu family will be famous throughout the capital in the future!"

Gu Qi hugged Lu Yao tightly, not noticing the slightly awkward look on Lu Yao's face.

Feeling the warmth in Gu Qi's embrace, Lu Yao's heart, which had been shaken by Gu Shuyan's decisive words, became firm again.

How can she separate?

In this world, how many women are separated from their husbands?

What's more, Gu Qi was just temporarily obsessed, he would eventually return to his family and know his own good...

Thinking of this, the last bit of hesitation in Lu Yao's heart completely disappeared.

She longed for Gu Qi's arms.

And, I feel very warm...

I have to say that Gu Qi really has a great appearance.

Otherwise, Lu Yao wouldn't be so reluctant to let go.

……

However, after Gu Shuyan returned to his room, he began to prepare for the palace examination in two days.

"Master, Princess Liao Ning has sent you another invitation, saying that she is hosting a banquet to celebrate your achievement of being number one on the imperial list. I wonder if you are still not going this time?"

Not long after Gu Shuyan sat down and started reading, his servant came in.

He also held an invitation in his hand.

Gu Shuyan frowned.

Since half a month ago, Princess Liao Ning began to frequently send him invitations, inviting him to dinner and so on.

It happens about once every three or four days.

He thought this princess was weird.

I invited Pu He before, and now I invite myself.

Could it be that she really just wants to find someone to work for her for free?

That's definitely not possible!

Guys like Pu He have to take their own exams, so he must have to take his own exams as well.

What's more, only if he really achieved fame and honor could he really leave this "home" that made him feel a little nauseous.

So, he found various reasons to reject the invitation from Her Royal Highness the Princess.

But today...

He gently stroked the gold-embossed invitation with his fingers and frowned slightly.

"Go."

He wanted to see what Princess Liao Ning was planning to do now that the list had been released.

After all, he would have to work in officialdom in the future, and he would have to come into contact with Her Royal Highness the Princess sooner or later. It would be unreasonable to keep avoiding her.

"Yes."

The book boy agreed.

Gu Shuyan tidied himself up and arrived at the restaurant mentioned on the invitation at noon.

Fengyun Pavilion.

Fengyun Pavilion is one of the best restaurants in the whole of Kyoto, and is almost on the same level as Juxianju.

But the most important thing is that Fengyun Pavilion is more suitable for entertaining others.

Juxianju is more suitable for people of noble status to have dinner with their friends.

The customer bases of these two places are different.

If you want to book a room at Fengyun Pavilion, you either have to be of a very noble status, or you have to pay enough money, or you have to be able to wait...

I heard that recently all the seats in Fengyun Pavilion have been booked for the next three years.

If an ordinary person wants to host a banquet in Fengyun Pavilion, it will probably take at least three years...

Gu Shuyan looked at the plaque of Fengyun Pavilion above his head, pursed his lips, and stepped in.

"Mr. Gu, you are finally here. Please come in. The princess has been waiting for a long time."

The enthusiastic waiter came over immediately with his signature smile on his face.

Gu Shuyan didn't know why, but the service of Fengyun Pavilion always gave him the feeling that he had suddenly returned to modern times and was eating at those high-end restaurants.

It seems that the waiters there are generally like this.

Talk about their services.

The waiter smiled and said, "Our boss specially sent someone to train us, saying that we should make the guests feel at home."

Gu Shuyan was slightly surprised. He looked at the waiter and then looked at the decoration inside Fengyun Pavilion.

It must be said that it was not the kind of old-fashioned elegance he had originally imagined, but rather it had a certain elegance and taste.

Some designs are extremely clever and practical.

"Our boss recently had some new ideas, so he tried them out here." The waiter explained with a smile when he saw Gu Shuyan staring at a peculiarly shaped coffee table.

"But I have to say that our boss is very smart. Although these things look strange, they are novel and convenient to use."

Gu Shuyan nodded.

He felt that it was very similar to some high-end Chinese restaurants in his previous life.

Soon, the waiter brought him to the door of a private room.

"This is Juya Pavilion. Her Royal Highness the Princess has been waiting inside for a long time."

He pushed open the door: "Mr. Gu, please!"

Gu Shuyan pursed his lips and stepped in.

What caught my eye was an extremely delicate and beautiful face, wearing exotic clothes, and the silver ornaments on her body made a tinkling sound as she moved.

Crisp and sweet.

"Mr. Gu is really hard to invite. I didn't expect that I would finally meet him today."

Mi Qingxue looked at the man who came in. He had an elegant demeanor, a handsome appearance, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, especially his eyes, which were like a galaxy of stars.
