"How is that possible!"
"How can I not afford to lose!"
Qin Ji argued confidently, as if to prove himself, "I just think it's surprising that Lu Yan is so good at archery. Since you all insist that he didn't cheat, then forget it."
He turned around and wanted to leave, but was caught by Song Huaian, "Mr. Qin, it's not that we insist that Lu Yan didn't cheat, it's that you can't produce evidence that he cheated."
His smile was as warm as the spring breeze in March, but the words he spoke were aggressive:
"Mr. Qin, don't you agree?"
Everyone fell silent, subconsciously looking at Qin Ji. His attitude was very important. If he wanted to leave with an ambiguous answer, it was obvious that Song Huaian would not let go of his hand.
Lu Yan stood there quietly, like a green lotus isolated from the world.
Qin Ji suddenly felt very aggrieved. Why did these people rush to defend this mute without saying a word?
I just want to compete again and perform at my normal level. Why can't I give him this opportunity?
"Yes! He didn't cheat, I misunderstood. Is this okay?" Qin Ji shouted loudly. His self-esteem fell to the ground with these words and was crushed to pieces.
However, he couldn't get angry yet.
Otherwise, it really feels like I can't afford to lose...
Song Huaian smiled and let go of his hand. He looked like a good old man and said politely, "Mr. Qin, please."
Qin Ji turned away and left. The laughter of the crowd behind him was like sharp arrows, piercing his heart - during this period of time, Qin Ji didn't want to see these people anymore!
This dispute finally came to an end.
The exam results came out very quickly, as many of them were announced on the spot, so the teachers only needed to tally up the scores of the candidates to come up with a ranking.
After everyone had left, Lu Yan came to Song Huaian, who was about to leave, and took out his booklet.
It read: "Why are you helping me?"
Song Huaian was two heads taller than him. Seeing this, he bent down and put his head closer to look at it carefully.
"There's no reason. I just want to help."
Just like how Lu Yan helped him back then.
Lu Yan thought about it and was too lazy to get a pen. He just grabbed Song Huaian's hand and wrote on his palm: "Thank you."
No matter what Song Huaian's purpose was, it was a fact that he helped me.
After what happened last time, Lu Yan learned his lesson and would no longer approach people in such a self-righteous manner.
A word of thanks, a mixture of gratitude and resentment.
Cool raindrops slowly fell from the sky, wetting the boy's hair and his heart.
Song Huaian stood there, letting the increasingly heavy rain hit his shoulders. He just looked at Lu Yan quietly, and ran out without looking back, holding the booklet in his hand. After a long while, he finally revealed a self-deprecating smile.
What are you looking forward to?
He was the one who did something wrong.
What are you expecting?
The situation in the court was becoming increasingly turbulent, and news came from his father, asking him to make preparations early.
Now that the Red Turban Army is becoming more and more powerful, it is wishful thinking for the emperor to calm the people's anger by reinvestigating the case of Li Qingzheng.
Li Qingzheng's case needs to be investigated, but it is not the end, but the beginning——
These three words, "clear the court", really did not cause any waves in the emperor's heart!
Why does he think that simply exposing a murderer from that year would make the rebels retreat obediently?
Now that you have risen in rebellion, who would want to play house with you?
Song Huaian had no attachment to Shengjing. The only thing he couldn't let go of was Lu Yan.
When he was bullied, Lu Yan stood up for him, and he was moved in his heart.
But he knew that he was the prince of Huainan Palace, and in Shengjing City, his every move represented the intention of Huainan Palace.
If he walked with Lu Yan, the emperor would think that he was taking the opportunity to make friends with powerful officials in the capital.
When the time comes, find a reason to act, and the entire Huainan Palace will be in danger!
Behind him is not only his own life, but also the lives of hundreds of people in the Huainan Palace - he can't afford to gamble, nor does he dare to gamble!
So even though he knew that his original actions would disappoint Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan, he had no choice.
Everything that happened now was his own fault...
The dispute at the Imperial College had not yet reached Shen Ruoyan's ears.
Lu Yan was a person who only reported good news and not bad news. When he was studying, the servants had to wait outside and were not allowed to go in to accompany him.
So we don't know what happened inside.
In addition, Shen Ruoyan's mind has not been on this recently, and when Lu Yan came back as if nothing had happened, she didn't think there was anything wrong.
When she found out about this, the results of the Imperial College entrance examination had already come out - Lu Yan ranked first!
"Congratulations! Madam is so lucky! The prince is so knowledgeable. He will definitely pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family!"
"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Madam! I can see that the Crown Prince is the God of Literature descended to earth. He is truly extraordinary!"
The people who came to the Marquis' Mansion to congratulate him almost broke the threshold!
Chen Ruoyan was in front welcoming the guests. They were all relatives and old friends. They came to congratulate him, so he couldn't chase them away.
So she could only respond with polite words and arranged for people to serve her well. After sending everyone away, Shen Ruoyan's face was almost frozen with laughter!
"Where is the prince? Go and ask him to come over."
A lady just mentioned that Lu Yan was once harassed by the young master of General Huaiyuan's mansion during an archery competition. Although she said this to sow discord, Shen Ruoyan said it was nothing, just a fight between children, but she remembered it in her heart.
As soon as Lu Yan came in, he saw Shen Ruoyan's face was slightly gloomy, and she didn't look very happy.
Aren’t everyone here to congratulate you today? How can I not be happy?
With doubts, he first saluted, then stood aside politely, waiting for Shen Ruoyan to speak.
"Yan'er, do you know where you are wrong?" Shen Ruoyan's voice was light, but those who knew her knew that this was a sign that she was about to get angry.
Lu Yan was shocked and tried hard to recall, but after thinking for a long time he still didn't know what he did wrong.
So, he could only shake his head honestly, his eyes becoming somewhat panicked.
Mother, are you angry with him?
Shen Ruoyan looked at him like this, and even though he was very angry, he couldn't vent his anger.
Forget it, why bother with a child?
After all, she didn't do well enough, so her child couldn't rely on her wholeheartedly.
"You were bullied outside, why didn't you tell me?" Shen Ruoyan was a little disappointed. She didn't hide her emotions, lest Lu Yan think that this matter was a big deal. "I'm your mother. You hid it from me. Do you think I can't make the decision for you and don't trust me?"
