Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Hong Xiu felt strange. "The princess also likes to eat this dim sum. It is very famous and expensive. We often bought it in the past and had to queue up. How come you bought so much so quickly this time?"

Cheng Feng said, "Then I have to thank Miss Hongxiu for your support, because I own this pastry shop. The pastries here are all carefully developed by me. They are made from various flowers and are not as sweet as powdered sugar. Moreover, women can eat them to beautify their skin."

Hong Xiu laughed and said, "Beauty and skin care, you are just making a gimmick!"

"I didn't expect Miss Hongxiu to be so smart. She saw through it at a glance. But it's not completely useless." Cheng Feng did not hide it.

Hong Xiu said, "But your cakes are really delicious. Your business is so good and you sell them at such a high price. You must have made a lot of money!"

"A little bit of silver is enough to prepare the betrothal gift and marry a wife." Cheng Feng blurted out.

Hongxiu looked indifferent and stopped talking.

Cheng Feng turned his head and looked at her, "Why are you silent?"

"Just focus on driving the carriage, there's nothing to say." She wasn't planning to get married, and if the young lady entered the palace she would follow her and serve her. She and Lian Ye had agreed that she would follow the young lady for the rest of her life, no matter where she went.

Seeing that she became cold, Cheng Feng did not dare to speak easily. It had been such a long time since they finally got to talk. In fact, he had known Hong Xiu for a long time. She used to come to buy snacks often, so he knew her.

Was she unhappy because he sold the pastries at a higher price and she felt that he made a lot of money from them?

Cheng Feng decided to lower the price when he returned and sell it at a cheaper price.

On the other side, Feng Jingyuan brought Zhang Yumo and Jiang Rumeng to the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall early in the morning to wait for the announcement of the results. Although they knew that Jiang Jinyan had the ability and would not fail, they were still very nervous. Instead of waiting at home, they decided to go out to the street to join in the fun.

As soon as the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall was opened, officials came out to drive away the candidates and their families who were trying to get in, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

Everyone was very nervous and expectant. Master Pan personally went to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall to give everyone psychological counseling. "Everyone please be calm and quiet. You have studied hard for ten years and have been waiting for this day. Compared to the horrible scenes during the exams in the past few days, I am very pleased today that your hard work has paid off.

Among the candidates of ***, there are several talented people who write well and have unique insights. If they are well trained, they will surely become the pillars of the country in the future. As for who they are, I won’t say, just look at the list!"

As soon as the officers and soldiers posted the list on the bulletin board, the atmosphere instantly became lively, and the candidates and their families came forward one by one to look for their names.

Soon someone excitedly said, "I won, I won, I made the list, number 48."

"I got in too, number 28..."

"Yes, Dad and Mom, I won."

Voices rose one after another from the crowd. Some were happy, some broke down in tears, some screamed and cursed, and some even rolled on the ground throwing tantrums. The scene was in chaos.

The invigilator was the highly respected Tutor Pan, who caught many cheating students in the examination room, including the sons of high-ranking officials. He upheld fairness and justice, and was impartial, so no one dared to object.

Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, there were many fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law waiting to choose sons-in-law. The scene was even more exciting than the examination in the examination hall. Everyone started fighting and scrambling to find a son-in-law.

Feng Jingyuan sighed as she watched the scene, "Luckily Ruan Ruan didn't come. If she got squeezed with her big belly, what would have happened?"

They couldn't squeeze in either. Jiang Zhiqin, the fourth son of the Jiang family, and Jiang Can, the doorman, were squeezed at the front like two loaches. When they found that Jiang Jinyan's name was ranked second, they felt a little disappointed. They looked at the first one and saw that it was Xiao Yu. They didn't want to look at the others.

Jiang Zhiqin also saw his mother and two sisters outside and couldn't come in, so he stood on tiptoe and waved outside, "Mom, I'm here, my eldest brother won, he won the second place."

When those who were queuing to see the son-in-law heard the second place, their eyes lit up instantly, "Whose family is the second place? Is he married? Does he have a fiancée?"

Jiang Zhiqin said, "The eldest son of Master Jiang's family has married the granddaughter of Duke Zhang. You all have no chance."

"Ah, it turns out to be the eldest son of Master Jiang. He wants to take a concubine. My daughter is only fifteen years old, gentle, beautiful, and has a rich dowry..." A wealthy man stopped Jiang Zhiqin,

"My daughter is only sixteen years old, and my dowry..."

Jiang Zhiqin hurriedly stopped him, "No concubines, my Jiang family does not take concubines, thank you all."

The woman in front of him saw that he was very delicate, as if he came out of a painting, "Young man, are you married? My granddaughter is only fifteen years old..."

"I'm only fourteen years old and I'm not married yet." He was overwhelmed and tried his best to squeeze out. He should not have come to see me if he had known.

At this time, a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes burst into tears, "Look again, why is my name not on the list? How come I didn't pass the exam?"

"Sir, your name is really not on the list. Why don't we just forget it?" The servants were embarrassed for him. The young master had only studied hard for a few days. He still wanted to take the imperial examination. There were many people who had studied hard for more than ten years, or even decades, but still failed to pass the exam.

"Forget it! How can I face Miss Lin if I didn't pass the exam and become the top scorer? How can I marry her?" Guo Xiao never thought that he didn't make the list. At least being the last on the list would be fine.

The servant was very upset, "The young master is really working hard for Miss Lin."

Another servant advised, "Master, don't be sad. Miss Lin Yu has seen your efforts. Sincerity can move mountains and rocks. Master will definitely move her."

When Jiang Zhiqin heard what they said, he felt that this was the real psychopath.

Hey! Miss Lin Yu, which Lin Yu is it? Is the person they are talking about Sister Lin?

Jiang Zhiqin was cautious and looked at him carefully, then he saw clearly that it was Guo Xiao, the playboy from Minister Guo's family.

He had heard of Guo Xiao, who took a group of playboys from Shengjing City out to play every day and did not do his job properly.

He also came to take the imperial examination, but fortunately he failed, otherwise everyone would accuse Master Pan of cheating by accepting bribes.

Since he still wanted to covet Sister Lin Yu, Jiang Zhiqin also kept Guo Xiao in mind.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly became agitated.

No one knew who started it, but someone in the crowd shouted, "Someone is cheating. Wang Qing is a idiot. How could he be on the list and even ranked fifth? I'm afraid he paid for this position!"

Everyone was upset when they heard about cheating. The hard-working students didn't pass the exam, but the idiot did. What's going on? Isn't it said that Master Pan is selfless? "

"It is also possible that other officials leaked the exam questions. We are not convinced that some candidates cheated. Did they all receive money?"

"Everyone, make a fuss. This matter must be very complicated. If we don't make a fuss, no one will care. All our efforts over the years will be in vain!"

"A person's life is ruined by these corrupt officials. The first and second place are all fake..."
