Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System

Chapter 129: The Prime Minister vs. the Qinhuai Singer (13)

The next day.

Liu Qianyu opened her eyes and felt a slight pain in her head and her throat was extremely dry due to the hangover.

She rubbed her temples gently, trying to ease the discomfort.

"This aged peach blossom wine has a really strong aftertaste."

Standing up and sitting down, Liu Qianyu accidentally touched her lips and felt a slight pain.

She walked towards the bronze mirror in confusion, and saw that her lips in the mirror were red and slightly swollen, as if she had been stung by a bee.

Yun Zimo's words last night involuntarily emerged in my mind.

"What is that? I'm really going crazy. Sister, can you teach me?"

Liu Qianyu held her forehead helplessly and chuckled to herself.

"This little Ling has such a bad mouth."

"Haha, host, this is none of my business. You raised it."

The mischievous voice of the system spirit sounded, with a hint of gloating.

"..."

Liu Qianyu smiled and shook her head, feeling that she had raised him a little crooked.

"Xiao Ling, help me exchange another amulet for peace. I want to add it to the amulets of Xiangguo Temple for Yun Zimo."

"Okay, host, are you worried that Yun Zimo will be in danger if he confronts the Fifth Prince?"

"The Fifth Prince has no moral principles. We should take precautions in advance."

"Uh-huh."

Everyone felt that the host was more partial to the ones he raised, so Xiao Ling quickly recorded it.

Liu Qianyu, Yun Zimo and their group sat around the dining table and had breakfast.

Liu Chan served Liu Qianyu a bowl of hot millet porridge.

Inadvertently noticing her slightly swollen lips, he couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Miss, why does your mouth look a little swollen?"

Liu Qianyu smiled slightly and turned her face away casually.

Avoiding Yun Zimo's burning gaze, he spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Oh, maybe the peach wine I made last night was too rich. I have a slight allergic reaction to it. It's nothing serious."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chan immediately became nervous.

"Oh, in that case, you can't touch this wine anymore."

Liu Hetai raised his head hesitantly, his eyes moving back and forth between Liu Qianyu and Yun Zimo.

Oh God, I hope I'm wrong!

Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with the young master’s eyes?

It was as if he wanted to tear Miss Liu apart and eat her.

Liu Qianyu took out a small and exquisite amulet from her sleeve and gently placed it in front of Yun Zimo.

"My dear, this is the amulet I specially went to Xiangguo Temple to ask for you. I made it myself. I was drunk last night and forgot to give you a birthday gift."

"May it bless you with peace, health and success."

Yun Zimo stroked the amulet with his fingers, his eyes as sweet as candy as he looked at Liu Qianyu.

"Sister Yu, thank you. I will never leave you."

The boy's deep and magnetic voice sounded particularly gentle and tender.

Liu Hetai watched his young master from the side.

Why did he feel that the young master's eyes towards Miss Liu had changed since last night?

So naked, so blatant!

That hot and stringy look gave him goosebumps.

Liu Hetai shuddered.

Liu Chan glared at Liu Hetai.

Liu Hetai quickly lowered his head and ate his meal.

Yun Zimo, along with the other tribute candidates, slowly walked into the Golden Palace under the guidance of the eunuchs.

At the palace examination, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Emperor Jiyuan sat high on the dragon throne.

He is about fifty years old. Time has left traces on his face, but it has also given him a pair of deeper and brighter eyes.

He was wearing a bright yellow robe, looked slightly thin, and his hair was gray, but it couldn't conceal his imperial majesty.

The emperor is old, the crown prince's position is unstable, and the empress dowager and the fifth prince are eyeing him covetously.

The princes fought for power and profit, and once they entered the court as officials, they had to take sides.

This magnificent Golden Throne Palace will be his battlefield in the future.

As the bell for the palace examination rang, Yun Zimo concentrated and calmed his mind, focusing his attention on the questions of today's palace examination.

He picked up the brush and wrote with neat and powerful handwriting. The other candidates around him also started writing.

As the palace examination progressed, Emperor Jiyuan's gaze swept over the candidates in his palace from time to time, and finally stopped on Yun Zimo.

Emperor Ji Yuan couldn't help but look at it a few more times, secretly admiring it in his heart.

This is the young man who was only seventeen years old and won three first prizes in the imperial examinations.

Calm and composed, with a dignified appearance.

Well, it's a good seedling.

The time for the palace examination passed in a flash and soon came to an end.

As the gong was struck to signal a stop, the eunuchs began to come over to collect the scrolls.

In the evening, Yun Zimo came back exhausted, got off the carriage and stepped into the courtyard.

Then he saw Liu Qianyu sitting quietly by the lotus pond, waiting for him.

It was like a blooming white lotus, so pure and elegant that it even made the pool of spring water pale in comparison.

"Sister Yu." He called softly.

"I'm back. Are you tired today?"

Liu Qianyu turned around, looking stunningly beautiful in the setting sun.

The smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling all of Yun Zimo's fatigue.

Yun Zimo shook his head. He no longer felt tired when he saw her.

"Sister Yu, there will be a horse race on the Imperial Street tomorrow. Will you go to watch it?" There was a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.

"Go, you must go and see the young master's highlight moment." Liu Qianyu nodded.

Sister Yu, you believe in yourself so much. If you believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to pass the high school.

Yun Zimo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and the smile diluted his usual coldness.

As exquisite as a painting, the person on the street is as white as jade and like a banished immortal.

The next day, the grand ceremony of announcing the names of the candidates was held.

Emperor Ji Yuan sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes like torches as he scanned the area below. He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful.

"This palace examination has brought together many talented people, each with their own strengths. However, one of them is outstanding in talent and stands out from the crowd. This person is Yun Zimo."

Just like a huge rock thrown into a lake, it caused ripples. The eyes of all officials were instantly focused on Yun Zimo who was kneeling on the ground.

His face looked calm and unusually composed.

Emperor Ji's voice continued to echo in the hall, every word sonorous and powerful.

"Yun Zimo, at only seventeen years old, has demonstrated extraordinary talent and insight. He is a rare talent with brilliant talents and unique insights. I am very pleased, so I personally select Yun Zimo as the top scorer of this palace examination!"

"Lin Yifei, you have a quick mind, so I have chosen you as the runner-up in this palace examination!"

"Jiang Botao, you have unlimited potential, and I have specially selected you as the third place winner of this year's palace examination!"

"The first place in the imperial examination was awarded the sixth rank of the Imperial Academy's editor, and the second and third place in the imperial examination were awarded the seventh rank of the Imperial Academy's editor."

The three of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Long live the emperor!"

After the ceremony of announcing the selection of successful candidates, the new Jinshi will, according to tradition, have the glorious moment of riding their horses through the Imperial Street.

Yun Zimo put on a brand new official uniform. The deep blue color symbolized calmness and wisdom, and the patterns embroidered with gold thread sparkled in the sun.

He followed the officials from the Ministry of Rites, passed through one palace gate after another, and finally arrived outside the Donghua Gate.

The red carpet extended from the palace gate to the center of the street, and the whole scene was both warm and solemn.

"Mr. Yun, please get on the horse."

An official from the Ministry of Rites came to Yun Zimo, leading a tall and strong horse.

The horse has shiny fur and its hooves are running fast, and it is obviously a carefully selected top-quality horse.

Yun Zimo jumped lightly and landed steadily on the horse's back.

He was full of anticipation, eager to have his moment of brilliance in Sister Yu's eyes.

With a loud gong sound, the horse-riding ceremony officially began.
