Qin Rong glanced at him, smiled and nodded: "Then I will wait for your gift."

"Ah."

After saying goodbye to Qin Rong, Yue Yangrui quickly left the palace.

As soon as we arrived at the palace gate, the imperial edict was posted.

Afterwards, three tall horses with red silk tied on them, and three young men full of high spirits, sat upright on the tall horses and went out of the palace gate.

At the gate of the palace, the people were already gathered around and waiting.

When someone comes out.

Suddenly they cheered excitedly.

"Wow, are these the top three this year? They are all really good-looking!"

"The one at the front should be this year's top scorer!"

"I know him, I know him, this is Master Gu Shuyan!"

"Mr. Gu is so handsome. If I could marry him..."

Before he finished speaking, countless purse flowers flew towards Gu Shuyan.

Gu Shuyan was slightly stunned and a little surprised.

But it soon became clear.

This is a custom in the Great Xia Kingdom.

After each imperial examination, the top three winners would ride on horses and parade through the streets. Unmarried girls of marriageable age would throw handmade purses or flowers to the top three winners they had chosen.

Show your affection for him.

If someone's purse or flower is caught and picked up.

Then you will be able to find a good marriage right away.

Thinking of this, Gu Shuyan felt helpless and tried his best to avoid these purses and flowers.

Don't let any of them fall on you.

Even if it falls, get rid of it as soon as possible.

He didn't want to be dragged into the bridal chamber right after finishing the exam.

It’s scary just to think about it, okay?

"Puchi, it seems that our new number one scholar is very popular among the girls!"

Seeing this, the third place winner couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right!" Cao Shurui responded with a smile.

Gu Shuyan glanced at the two of them and wanted to say something back to them.

Do you want this kind of love?

However, he held back.

He smiled and said, "It's okay, but I have no intention of getting married now, so I can only disappoint these girls."

"Okay." The third place winner smiled and said, "In the past, as the third place winner, I must have been the best looking among the three. This year, Brother Gu became the first place winner, and I, the third place winner, really can't compare to him in terms of appearance."

"Appearance is nothing, I just hope to achieve great things in the future and work hard for your majesty and the prosperity of Xia country!"

Tanhua Lang smiled and said, "Brother Gu is very ambitious, that's right! We have studied so hard for so many years just to benefit the people!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the bustling people, Gu Shuyan's lips curled up slightly.

He has already figured out what to do next.

Hopefully, Emperor Xia will approve some of his proposals by then...

"Brother Cao, I heard that you and the eldest princess are going to be engaged?" The third place winner set his eyes on Cao Shurui.

When talking about Qin Rong, Cao Shurui couldn't help but blush.

"Brother, please don't make fun of me. I do like Her Royal Highness the Princess, but I don't know whether Her Royal Highness the Princess will like me."

"Brother Cao, you are joking. The story between you and Her Royal Highness the Princess has already spread. Besides, Brother Cao is so outstanding and is now the runner-up. How could Her Royal Highness the Princess not like him?"

"It seems that you like princesses very much too!" Gu Shuyan said, "Besides the eldest princess, there are also the third and fourth princesses who are unmarried. If you want, you can give it a try."

In the past two days, he probably knew who Qin Yan and the others had a good relationship with in this world.

Qin Yan truly treats Qin Rong as his sister.

How could he tolerate others talking about Qin Rong like this?

This scholar is indeed talented in writing, but his character...

Tanhualang didn't expect Gu Shuyan to suddenly respond, and smiled awkwardly: "No need, no need, I don't want to be a prince consort yet, so forget about this kind of thing, forget it..."

Cao Shurui looked at Gu Shuyan with gratitude.

Gu Shuyan nodded slightly at him.

There are some things that are actually difficult for the person involved to say, but if someone else says it, there will be no problem.

When the parade reached the door of Gu's house, a series of firecrackers suddenly rang out.

Lu Yao stood in front of the Gu family mansion, looking at her son riding on a tall horse, with a smile on her face.

Gu Shuyan frowned slightly, but still got off the horse and saluted Lu Yao.

"Mother, Shuyan lived up to my expectations and got the top spot in the imperial examination."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Lu Yao said three good words in a row and was really happy.

In fact, she was even happier than on her wedding night.

"Shuyan, you are really a good child of your mother."

At some point, two lines of tears began to flow down her cheeks.

Gu Shuyan stepped forward, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Mother, this is a good thing, why are you crying?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just happy." Lu Yao took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"By the way, mother, where's father?"

Gu Shuyan looked inside the Gu Mansion. Logically speaking, after something like this happened today, Gu Qi should not be away!

Isn't he the most face-saving?

Therefore, she should be excited to come out at this time and enjoy the honor of her son becoming the top scholar with her mother.

"I'm not sure. Someone from Princess Showa's mansion came and took your father away." Lu Yao was a little worried.

"Our Gu family has never had any contact with Her Royal Highness Princess Showa, and we don't know why they took your father away. Shuyan, do you know this Princess?"

I heard that it was Qin Yan who ordered the person to be taken away.

Gu Shuyan's heart suddenly calmed down.

Since it was my sister who did it, she must have her reasons.

"Don't worry, mother. Princess Showa is the kindest person in the world. As long as father hasn't done anything wrong, nothing will happen."

"That's right." Lu Yao nodded.

She had also heard some rumors about this Princess Showa.

Not only does he do very well in business, he is also a very nice person.

So, she wasn't really worried.

However, now that his son has returned, Gu Qi is not here...

She always felt that she owed Gu Shuyan something.

"If mother is worried, why don't we go to Princess Zhaohe's mansion together? It just so happens that General Xiao Yue should be here too, so it won't be too out of place if we go."

Gu Shuyan suggested.

Lu Yao knew that Gu Shuyan had been living with Yue Yangrui recently.

Although she was very surprised as to when her son had such a good relationship with General Yue, who was good at killing on the battlefield.

However, Yue Yangrui has a good reputation and is someone worth making friends with.

She certainly wouldn't stop anything.

On the contrary, I am happy to see it happen.
