Looking at Li Jingjing's almost pleading eyes, Ye Xiaoxiao felt a flash of pity in her heart, but when she thought of the empress dowager and Madam Ye's nagging, she immediately shook her head cruelly.
"Don't blame me for not helping you. If you want to go, go back and tell your parents."
"You don't know, ever since I got pregnant, everyone who sees me can recite a few lines."
"Especially Mother and the Queen Mother. I haven't told them about my own affairs yet. You should figure out your own affairs yourself."
Ye Xiaoxiao made a helpless expression, and Li Jingjing was a little discouraged. However, she quickly cheered up.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Since His Majesty has already agreed to it, I believe my parents won't say anything more."
"Besides, we're just watching and not going on stage to compete, so there shouldn't be any accidents."
Ye Xiaoxiao laughed, "Swords have no eyes, so it's better to be more careful."
"By the way, recently because of the scientific examination, many people are dissatisfied with our Ye family."
"I think you guys don't need me to worry about it, but as for the waiters and the shopkeeper, you must remind the brothers and sisters-in-law to be careful."
Li Jingjing nodded in agreement, but her mind was now entirely focused on the martial arts test.
"I understand. I'll tell my parents when I get home. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded and asked Tianxuan to personally send the person back to the Ye family, and then went to Shangguan Lingyun's imperial study.
He simply told Shangguan Lingyun about Li Jingjing's plan to go to the martial arts test together, and Shangguan Lingyun naturally had no objection.
"It's good to have her accompany you. You won't be bored alone. If your mother-in-law finds out, you'll have someone else to take the nagging for you."
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, and then looked at Shangguan Lingyun with some embarrassment.
"My mother has been visiting me in the palace quite often lately. I've talked to her about this many times, but she never listens. My dear husband, could you help me think of a solution?"
Shangguan Lingyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Ye Xiaoxiao's cute appearance.
"I never thought that Xiaoxiao, who always does her own thing, would have a day when she would be afraid."
Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips, "What do you know? A gentle knife cuts the heart."
"They are all concerned about me. If I don't appreciate it, I would be ungrateful."
Shangguan Lingyun smiled lightly, "You have to understand the feeling, but you can't be too hard on yourself."
"Alright, I'll go talk to the Queen Mother and ask her to be more indulgent with you."
Ye Xiaoxiao chuckled and flattered Shangguan Lingyun a few times, which was rare.
Shangguan Lingyun couldn't help but shook his head and then went to do his own thing.
The imperial examination began soon amid everyone's anticipation. When Ye Xiaoxiao and Li Jingjing appeared in the martial arts examination room, everyone was stunned.
It’s not because two women suddenly appeared in the examination room, but because even though they were dressed as men, they were still the most eye-catching presence in the examination room.
Under everyone's surprised gaze, Ye Xiaoxiao walked to the platform where the examiners were. There were already many examiners sitting there, all of them were military generals of Daxia.
Looking at the burly men, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Not long after they sat down, Qin Lei came over with the eldest princess who was also dressed as a man.
Shangguan Ruowei looked at Ye Xiaoxiao and Li Jingjing in surprise, then quickly stepped forward and greeted them.
Originally, Qin Lei was cornered by Shangguan Ruowei and had no other choice but to bring her along.
But when she saw Ye Xiaoxiao and Li Jingjing, she suddenly felt a headache.
"Why are you two here too? Does His Majesty know?"
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and nodded. Qin Lei shook his head helplessly and glanced at the people below the stage who were preparing for the competition.
"The three of you should leave the examiner's seat now and go to the viewing platform next to it to watch."
The examiner's seat is relatively close to the competition venue, so when the fists and kicks start fighting, there will definitely be dust all over the sky.
In addition, there was a shelter on the viewing platform, so the three women sitting below were not exposed to the wind and sun.
The three girls glanced at the viewing platform not far away, then glanced at the candidates who distracted them from time to time, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Qin Lei shook his head and asked Shangguan Ruowei to help take care of the two pregnant women. Shangguan Ruowei agreed with a smile, and the three of them left.
When the candidates in the audience saw the three people leave, they all withdrew their gazes and began to prepare for the competition.
The three women sat on the viewing platform. Tianxuan took out a lot of pastries from somewhere and brought hot tea.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Tianxuan in surprise, and Tianxuan smiled faintly and said that Shangguan Lingyun asked her to prepare it in advance.
Shangguan Ruowei and Li Jingjing looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with ambiguous eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, His Majesty is so good to you. Do you plan to leave in the future?"
Shangguan Ruowei looked at the two of them in surprise, and Ye Xiaoxiao showed a hint of shyness on her face.
"I'm trying to find an antidote for the two children, and you still have the nerve to criticize me."
"As soon as I left, you complained to me. I haven't even settled the score with you yet, but you're already making fun of me."
Li Jingjing looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with a smile, and Shangguan Ruowei was confused by what they said.
"What the hell are you two talking about? I don't understand."
The two smiled faintly, and Li Jingjing briefly told her about Ye Xiaoxiao's previous plan to run away from home.
Shangguan Ruowei looked at Ye Xiaoxiao in disbelief.
"Sister-in-law, my brother has treated you so well, and you still want to leave. I have no choice but to stand on my brother's side."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled a little embarrassedly, then changed the subject by inviting the two to watch the competition.
