"Oh dear, what happened at home? It's that our Xibao passed the imperial examination with top honors."

As soon as Su Muyao finished speaking, Su Laoda became excited and said that Xibao was a natural at studying.

Look at how a scholar rises from a low-ranking official to the top scholar in the imperial examinations, hahaha.

"Okay, okay, I'll be right back."

Immediately afterwards, Boss Su handed the things in his hand to the steward next to him.

He hurriedly got on Su Muyao's pink electric scooter and rushed home.

Before they even reached the gate of the princess's mansion, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard.

Soon, Xi Bao, riding a tall horse, began to travel around the entire capital.

At this time, Xi Bao was already 19 years old, a handsome young man.

After going around in circles, we finally returned to the Princess's residence.

Everyone knew that the princess's family had produced a top scholar, and all the ministers in the court came to congratulate them.

It was packed with people.

Fortunately, the princess's mansion that the emperor gave Su Muyao was large enough, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people.

Congratulations! (o^^o)

"Congratulations, sir."

The three Su brothers and their old man were busy serving the male guests.

Meanwhile, Old Lady Su was busy attending to the women.

"Madam, you are truly blessed. Your granddaughter is a high-ranking official, second only to the Emperor, and now your grandsons are all so successful."

"Then enjoy your blessings."

"Yes, Madam, you should visit our residence more often, so that our household can also benefit from your family's distinguished atmosphere."

Su Muyao, meanwhile, was happily playing with the little fox in her room.

"Squeak squeak squeak squeak, why don't you go to the front?"

"Is it possible that your pet is socially awkward, which is why there are too many people outside?"

"Squeak squeak squeak, what is social anxiety?"

The little fox looked at Su Muyao with wide, questioning eyes, tilting its head to stare at her.

Su Muyao looked at the little fox and scratched its head.

"Do you think I should go find you some other beautiful foxes? You've been with me for so many years, you'll be too old to find a young male fox soon, won't you?"

Su Muyao didn't answer what the little fox meant by social anxiety; instead, she worried about the little fox's happiness for the rest of its life.

As soon as Su Muyao asked the question, the little fox immediately bristled: "You're the old one! This fox fairy doesn't want that stupid mortal fox."

Then, it gracefully licked the fur on its paws and jumped down into Su Muyao's arms.

After seeing all the guests off, the family sat together and chatted.

"Hey boss, look at the name you gave him, 'Xi Bao'!"

"This Xibao is alright as a young man, but he's not so good as a mature man."

Grandma Su nodded in agreement: "I didn't think much of Su Xibao before, but now that she's become the top scholar, it must be so embarrassing for her colleagues to call her Xibao."

Xi Bao didn't think much of it when she heard this; it was just a name.

Huanbao nodded to the side; indeed, some people called him "Bao" every day because of his name.

"How about we have the Emperor name you tomorrow?"

Xi Bao's eyes widened when she heard her grandfather's words.

"It makes no sense for me to have someone name me on my first day of court tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Su nodded: "That makes sense. Then you can give yourself a name."

"Su Mulin, Grandpa, what do you think of this name? I want to follow in my little sister's footsteps."

Huanbao's name is Su Musen. I have seen everyone's unity along the way, especially Yaoyao's contributions to the entire Su family.

So I think this name is very suitable.

Old Man Su wasn't actually very satisfied with the two names Xi Bao had initially mentioned, but after hearing what Xi Bao said next...

Yes, their family is what it is today because of their unity.

Su Muyao nodded her little head.

But then it suddenly occurred to me that tomorrow would be my elder brother's first day attending court, and I would have to go with him.

Because I've been busy these past few days, I haven't been able to attend the morning court sessions anymore. After all, there's nothing of great importance to attend, and if I did, it would only make the ministers feel uncomfortable and make them feel awkward.

I had overheard two of the ministers talking about me.

They said they were afraid of the young princess, and that no matter how young the young princess was, as long as she stood there, everyone would forget all their other thoughts.

No matter what happens, they subconsciously look at the young princess, feeling that as long as the young princess is there, they don't need to do anything.

So ever since Su Muyao heard these words, she has rarely gone to the imperial court.

Just then, Long Yuan arrived late, carrying large and small bags of things to celebrate.

"Yuanyuan is here! Come on, sit here." Grandma Su greeted Longyuan warmly as always.

Su Muyao's lips twitched. This little old lady was really adorable. She had called the little prince "Yuanyuan" since he was a child.

Now that the Crown Prince is so old, he's still called Yuanyuan. I really want to know if my grandmother will continue to call him Yuanyuan after Longyuan inherits the throne.

It's funny to think about.

Long Yuan saw Su Muyao smile at him and returned a simple, honest smile.

If other generals in the army saw this, they would be astonished.

He was a veritable killing machine in the military, always sporting an icy expression.

Where have you ever seen Long Yuan give anyone a kind look in the army?

Look at Long Yuan now, that worthless smile on his face…

The group chatted and laughed as they thought about Long Yuan having dinner at the Princess's residence.

Liu Mansion

Er Ya was cooking for her family in the kitchen when she overheard the maids chatting about the Princess's residence.

"Xiaomin, do you know? The Princess's mansion was extremely lively today."

"What's wrong, Zhao Di? Did you sneak out of the manor? How do you know what's going on at the Princess's manor?"

Er Ya, standing to the side, perked up her ears.

"Xiaomin, I didn't sneak out of the manor. I overheard the two guards at the gate chatting."

"Then tell me quickly, what is it? You're really making me anxious."

"What else could it be? I heard that the eldest son of the main branch of the princess's family became the top scholar in the imperial examination."

I heard that all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital went to offer their congratulations, especially His Highness the Crown Prince, who reportedly brought many precious gifts in large and small bags.

"Keep your voice down, this happy occasion at the Princess's residence mustn't reach that person's ears, or she might start crying and wailing."

After Xiaomin finished speaking, she stole a glance at Erya.

Zhao Di naturally saw it too: "What are you afraid of? Although our Madam is the lady of the mansion, in the end, her life is not as good as ours as that of us maids."

Look at this, even though the eldest son of the princess's mansion became the top scholar, he didn't say anything about inviting this person back to the mansion for a celebration.

This shows that this lady did not have the status she claimed in the princess's mansion.

"What second young lady? She's just a maid who's favored by the old lady, yet she acts like she's the mistress."

Upon hearing this, Er Ya threw down the rag in her hand, stormed up to Zhao Di, and slapped her across the face.

“Even if my status in the Princess’s mansion is low, it is still higher than yours. You are just a servant girl, how dare you gossip about your master behind her back? Who gave you the audacity?”

Zhao Di, who was always under the old lady's thumb, was naturally fearless. Today, she was actually beaten by this unfavored first wife. How could she be willing to accept it?

He immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to go and fight Er Ya.
