The Second Prince was oblivious to Yuan Zhao's gaze; he was busy teasing Princess Chaoyang.
Princess Chaoyang, who had a good relationship with them, rolled her eyes and said:
“My elder brother, the Crown Prince, and my second elder brother have been visiting my residence for many years. They know this place better than I do. Do I need to see them off?”
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince both laughed.
At this moment, Yuan Zhao was speechless with shock.
She never imagined that the person would be the Second Prince.
She could tell from all that, but what about Rong Ruo?
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhao looked at Rong Ruo, only to see Rong Ruo looking at her calmly, her all-knowing gaze surely knowing what was going on.
Seeing her look at him, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at the Second Prince.
Yuan Zhao immediately withdrew his gaze.
She understood what the dead eunuch meant.
If you don't want others to know, then keep your eyes to yourself.
Once inside the carriage, Yuan Zhao realized he was covered in a cold sweat.
She never expected that her visit to the princess's residence today would lead her to witness such a secret.
Although Wen Feng didn't know that the man was the Second Prince, she was still frightened by what had happened today, and she didn't dare to speak.
Yuan's eldest sister-in-law sensed something was wrong and asked softly:
"What's wrong, Zhaozhao?"
The matter was of great importance, and the more people who knew, the greater the danger. Yuan Zhao did not intend to tell his sister-in-law, only saying that he was feeling unwell.
Upon hearing this, the elder sister-in-law did not say anything more, only telling Yuan Zhao to go back and get some rest.
Halfway through the journey, the carriage heard a great commotion outside. Even though Yuan Zhao was preoccupied with his own thoughts, he was somewhat drawn to the noise outside.
"What's wrong?"
She asked a question.
Linglong looked around from outside and replied:
"Miss, the results are out."
"Today is the day the results are released."
Yuan Zhao was taken aback. Zhou Shiyuan had been eagerly anticipating the imperial examinations, but failed to get in. She hadn't paid attention to it afterward and had even forgotten that today was the day the results were announced.
Suddenly thinking of Gu Qingchen, Yuan Zhao spoke up:
"Linglong, go and see if Gu Qingchen's name is on the list."
"Okay."
Linglong happily agreed; she had just thought of the person named Gu Qingchen as well.
Because there were many people on the street, the carriage moved very slowly. Before long, Linglong caught up, and she excitedly said:
"Miss, Miss, I saw it."
“Gu Qingchen is on the list, and he is the top scorer.”
really!
Yuan Zhao's answer was no exception. In her previous life, she had met Gu Qingchen and knew that he was very talented in literature and, most importantly, had excellent character.
This time his hand was fine, and he finally proved himself.
Previously, she helped Gu Qingchen partly out of gratitude for his help in her past life, and partly to take the opportunity to suppress Zhou Shiyuan.
However, when the Empress Dowager returned, she changed her plan and didn't even let Zhou Shiyuan go to the imperial examination, thus plunging him into despair in one fell swoop.
Regardless, she was still very happy that Gu Qingchen had achieved the top score; now it was just a matter of seeing how the palace examination went.
Seeing the joy on her face, and remembering what her husband had said about Yuan Zhao's fondness for scholars, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law couldn't help but ask softly:
"Zhaozhao, who is this Gu Qingchen? You seem to know him."
Yuan Zhao, unaware of what his sister-in-law was thinking, recounted how he had helped her that day.
When Yuan Zhao praised Gu Qingchen highly, and learned that he was the last disciple of a great Confucian scholar, and that he came from a poor family with only younger siblings and no parents, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law began to have designs on him.
If you're worried about Zhaozhao remarrying, you could bring this man to live with you as a son-in-law.
However, we also need to see how the palace examination results are.
The most important thing is to check their character.
Yuan Zhao had no idea that her sister-in-law had already chosen Gu Qingchen as her future husband, let alone what kind of trouble her actions today would bring in the future.
