Yu Yiluo had been looking forward to the palace examination, but when the day came, she had a fever and was unable to go.
By the time her fever subsided, the palace examination was over.
The emperor came to Zuihua Palace immediately after the palace examination.
After entering the room, she skipped the formalities and went straight to the bedside and asked, "How is Luo'er?"
Yu Yiluo opened her eyes and muttered to herself.
[Next time I won't kick the quilt again. Having a fever is really unbearable. It's too uncomfortable.]
[No, isn't today the palace examination? Why is the tyrant here? Am I delirious?]
"The imperial physician said that everything will be fine once the fever subsides, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
The emperor was still worried, so he raised his hand to touch Yu Yiluo's forehead, then tried his own. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the temperature was about the same.
"I came here after the palace examination. I hope Luo'er is okay."
【Has the palace examination ended? 】
Yu Yiluo felt a chill in her heart.
[Who is the top scholar? Please don’t let it be Meng You.]
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly. Luo'er meant that Meng You was not capable?
This person answered the questions he asked very well, with absolutely no faults to be found. Cai Ze was also good, but he liked Meng You's personality more.
The emperor wanted to know the reason, and said casually: "The number one scholar I chose is Meng You, he looks good."
[Not bad, not bad at all. This guy is a great gift from the Prince of Yueqing to you and the Sixth Princess. He's probably already trying to seduce the Sixth Princess.]
[Since the gifts have been opened by the tyrant, I just hope that Sixth Princess will learn her lesson and not be taken advantage of.]
emperor:"……"
I instantly felt that this person was not worthy of being the top scholar, but he had already announced the names of the top three scholars in the Golden Palace and personally selected them as the top scholar, the second scholar, and the third scholar.
Now that the words are out, I can't take them back.
[The tyrant seems to really hope that this person can become the Sixth Princess's consort. He's really bad at everything and is the number one pitfall.]
The emperor raised his hand and touched his nose. He had this idea, but he still planned to ask Xiaoliu for his opinion.
In fact, if this person was not the King of Yueqing's man, he would really think he was good.
"The emperor has a keen eye for talent, so it must be good."
Empress Xian originally wanted to remind the emperor, but it seemed inappropriate to rashly say that the number one scholar he chose was the Prince of Yueqing's man.
Besides, she is a concubine in the harem, so it is wrong for her to interfere in this matter.
Anyway, if this top scholar really did something, the emperor is not stupid and will definitely be able to see it.
[Emma, please stop praising him, or he'll become too confident to even know where to go.]
[He has a keen eye for talent? That's true. Meng You already has a wife. The tyrant is probably worried that the Sixth Princess would be bored alone, so he specifically chose a man with a family.]
emperor:"……"
Why did he feel that Luo'er was plotting against him? This Meng You was also dishonest and actually deceived the king.
Concubine Xian glanced at the emperor and suppressed her smile.
She had been quite worried about her daughter's health before, but now she heard her daughter making up stories about the emperor, and she must be really fine.
The emperor sat in Concubine Xian's palace for a while and then returned to the imperial study. He asked Eunuch Cao to secretly send someone to Meng You's hometown to pick him up.
Didn't the Prince of Yueqing want to give him a great gift? He also gave him one in return.
…
at the same time.
The parade on Meng You's side had ended, and he dismounted and looked around.
Didn't the prince say that the Sixth Princess would appear today? Why didn't I see the Sixth Princess?
"Brother Meng, what are you looking at?"
Yang Jin, the third place winner who was standing next to Cai Ze, asked.
"It's okay," Meng You retracted his gaze and smiled, "I just thought the capital was huge, so I looked around."
Yang Jin looked mischievous when he heard this. "The Emperor still has an unmarried Sixth Princess. The Emperor has spoken highly of Brother Meng. What do you think..."
He hadn't finished speaking, but his meaning was self-evident.
Meng You disagreed, "The princess is of noble status, Brother Yang, please don't say anything nonsense."
Cai Ze was anxious to go back and see Li Qian, and had no intention of listening to their idle chat. He just said hello to them and turned away.
After both of them left, Meng You suddenly saw a familiar figure. Who else could it be but the Sixth Princess?
When the Sixth Princess heard that there would be a parade of top scholars today, she brought the Fifth Princess along to join in the fun, but they didn't see any parade along the way.
"Why can't I see anyone?" The Sixth Princess muttered as she walked, looking around.
At this time, a horse came out from nowhere and galloped towards the Sixth Princess.
The people around them screamed and scattered in fear. The Fifth Princess was also frightened. But when she saw the Sixth Princess who didn't feel the danger at all, she shouted, "Sixth sister, be careful."
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Princess withdrew her gaze and looked at the horse that was about to hit her. She could only stand there with her eyes wide open in fear, unable to do anything else.
At this critical moment, Meng You rushed out and pulled the Sixth Princess away, shouting, "Miss, be careful."
It was not until she heard the obvious relief from the people around her that the Sixth Princess slowly opened her eyes and met a pair of gazes filled with a hint of worry.
"I'm glad you're okay, girl." Meng You said softly when he saw her open her eyes.
The Sixth Princess's face suddenly turned red. She quickly stood up and realized that she had been lying in someone's arms.
"Thank you, sir," the Sixth Princess said shyly, lowering her eyes. "If it weren't for you, I would have been injured. How could I be standing here safe and sound?"
Meng You shook his head. "Miss, there's no need to thank me. It's just a small favor."
In fact, he had mustered up the courage to go out just now. The prince was really something. Did he have to do such a thing to be considered a hero saving the beauty? It was too dangerous.
"Sixth sister," the fifth princess came over to straighten the sixth princess's clothes and asked with concern, "Are you scared?"
The Sixth Princess shook her head obediently, "I'm fine, it was this young master who saved me."
The fifth princess glanced at Meng You and immediately noticed the clothes he was wearing.
"Young Master, are you this year's top scholar?"
Meng You bowed and said, "Yes, I am Meng You. If you two ladies have nothing else to do, I will leave first."
The Sixth Princess looked at Meng You as he walked away with a crazy look on her face. She didn't come back to her senses even after the Fifth Princess called her several times.
"Sixth sister," the Fifth Princess raised her hand and knocked her on the head, "come back to your senses. Now that we've seen the person, isn't it time to go back?"
…
The Fifth Princess's Mansion.
After the two got off the carriage, the Sixth Princess pulled the Fifth Princess into the house, holding her chin in her hand.
"Fifth sister, what do you think of Meng You?"
The Fifth Princess poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Why, Sixth Sister has taken a fancy to this man?"
After experiencing what happened with Qi Xuan, the Fifth Princess always subconsciously thinks of the worst in everything.
Especially the feeling Meng You gave her just now was the same as Qi Xuan in disguise.
"Oh," the Sixth Princess blushed, her face filled with longing. "Isn't that how it's written in the storybooks? A hero saving a beautiful woman, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Wouldn't that make for a wonderful story?"
Besides, this person was the top scholar chosen by my father, so he must be a good person.
At this point, the Fifth Princess stood up and said, "No, I must go to the palace to see my father and ask if this man has a family."
