Qin Rong could hardly bear the look in his eyes.

"Then I tell you, you must never tell anyone else."

"Okay." Yue Yangrui promised: "I will definitely not tell anyone!"

"Actually, it's nothing. When I left the palace to look for Sister Yan'er that day, I wanted to go out and buy some gifts for her. Unexpectedly, I ended up entering a shady shop. The owner of the shop wanted to arrest me, so I fled in a panic and ended up in a small alley."

"And Master Cao happened to pass by there and saved me."

When talking about that day, Qin Rong's face couldn't help but blush.

"He was obviously very weak, but he still stood in front of me and fought with those criminals. He was even injured. Fortunately, my people found us in time, so both he and I are fine."

"But because of this, I think he is a pretty good person."

"Later, he came to me a few times, and I came to him a few times, and then we..."

Qin Rong's expression became a little more shy.

"So, you are together?" Yue Yangrui asked.

Qin Rong nodded slightly, which was considered as an admission.

"So when do you plan to get engaged?" he asked curiously.

Qin Rong pursed her lips and looked in the direction of Conghe Palace: "Isn't today the palace examination? We said that if he gets a good score in the palace examination, he will ask father and ask for my company, but if it's not a good score..."

Qin Rong looked a little lonely.

"He said he was too embarrassed to see me..."

Oh, I didn’t expect that this kid has such a strong sense of self-esteem!

He had to obtain fame and honor before proposing to his own elder sister.

But I have to say, it's quite courageous.

After all, if he became a royal consort first and then took part in the imperial examination, he would definitely be valued by Emperor Xia.

You will definitely get a good ranking and official position.

But if he had not spoken before and was not a royal consort, he would be the same as an ordinary student.

At a starting line.

He must have enough courage and confidence to make such a promise to his sister...

……

"It sounds like this Cao Shurui is pretty good."

At Princess Showa's Mansion, Qin Yan gave this comment after listening to Yue Yangrui's gossip sharing.

Yue Yangrui nodded: "Yes, I think so too."

"But, sister, do you think Cao Shurui can really get a good grade? Our eldest brother and Pu He are both involved!"

"Our eldest brother is undoubtedly the number one, but there are also second and third place winners!" Qin Yan smiled.

"But sister, didn't you say before that the runner-up is Pu He..."

"Well, that was in the past, but now! I'm afraid Pu He can't even get the second place..."

……

Conghe Hall.

After reading the examination papers of these students for the palace examination, Emperor Xia asked some more questions, which had to be said.

This student named Gu Shuyan was truly outstanding, and Emperor Xia immediately appointed him as the top scholar.

As for the second place, he was a little hesitant.

He wanted to let Cao Shurui take this position. After all, the runner-up was worthy of his daughter. However, when it came to some opinions on the article, he felt that the student named Pu He was better.

At this moment, the student named Pu He stepped forward and knelt down in front of Emperor Xia.

"Your Majesty, I have something that I think Your Majesty must know."

At this time, the number one scholar had just been announced, and Emperor Xia had not yet made a decision on who the second runner-up would be. His voice immediately drew everyone's attention to him.

"Oh?"

Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows slightly and fixed his gaze on him: "What do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for Gu Shuyan to be the top scholar. All his essays are plagiarized!"

Pu He's words shocked everyone the next second.

"what?"

Emperor Xia was slightly startled, then he slammed the table in anger: "How dare you! What evidence do you have?"

Pu He kowtowed quickly.

He was obviously prepared for this.

He took out a roll of paper from his sleeve.

Li Fu came down immediately and brought the papers to Emperor Xia.

"Your Majesty, please take a look. These are the articles I once wrote."

After reading these papers, Emperor Xia found that the contents and some insights on them were indeed very similar to the articles and insights written by Gu Shuyan today, and the handwriting on these papers was obviously quite old.

"these are……"

"These are the manuscripts that I wrote casually on weekdays. Unexpectedly, my manuscripts were stolen a few days ago. Later, they were returned to my room this morning."

"I felt strange, and when I entered the palace, I saw that all these manuscripts were brought with me. I didn't expect that the article written by Mr. Gu today and the opinions he expressed in court were so similar to the contents of my manuscripts. So, I thought that the person who stole my manuscripts that day was this Mr. Gu!"

Pu He's voice was somewhat decisive.

It seems that it has been confirmed that Gu Shuyan is the one who stole his manuscript.

"His Majesty!"

Gu Shuyan also knelt down in front of Emperor Xia: "I did not steal Pu He's manuscript, please understand, Your Majesty!"

"No? Then why is Mr. Gu's article so similar to mine?"

As Gu Shuyan had already been announced as the top scorer, his article was displayed in order to convince the public.

Everyone can see it.

At this time, Pu He pointed in the direction of his article and his voice was very angry.

"Mr. Gu, can you explain why this is happening?"

"It's a pity that I have always wanted to be friends with Mr. Gu. I have always admired his talent, but I never thought that he would do such a thing. I was really blind to ever want to make a friend like him!"

Gu Shuyan couldn't help but remain silent.

Although he did not see the contents of the papers that Pu He had just handed over.

However, since Pu He dares to be so excited and so confident.

I'm afraid the content on that paper must be extremely unfavorable to him.

"Puhe, you are so shameless!"

Just as Gu Shuyan was thinking about what to say to clear himself, a female voice with a bit of coquettishness suddenly sounded in the hall.

Then, a woman dressed in black Miao girl's clothing slowly walked in from the entrance of the hall.

When Emperor Xia saw this woman, he was slightly surprised: "Liao Ning?"

How did she get here?

Emperor Xia subconsciously looked at Li Fu beside him.

Li Fu was also confused.

Didn’t he hear anyone say that Princess Liao Ning would come today?

"Niece meets uncle!"
