Chapter 308 May I ask?
Meng Jian looked at Qin Zhaoyue's unconcealed, almost glowing, infatuated look, and a surge of evil fire shot up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
My heart was burning and my throat was tight.
He laughed in anger, a cold and stiff arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a heavy sound came out of his nose.
"snort!"
Before he finished speaking, he turned around abruptly, and the armor leaves made a crisp sound with his sudden movement.
His feet moved like the wind, and he walked quickly towards the palace gate.
The back figure was wrapped in a biting coldness that kept strangers away, as if even the air around it was frozen a little.
Qin Zhaoyue:?
He was startled by the sudden rejection and grinned silently at the receding figure.
Hey, you can open a dyeing factory just by giving me three points of color, right?
Damn it, did I give you face?
Before she could finish her complaints, her third sister Qin Zhaowan, fourth sister Qin Zhaoshu and fifth brother Qin Jingzhan surrounded her.
"Zhao Yue, what did you say to Commander Meng just now? Look how anxious he was leaving."
"Nothing," Qin Zhaoyue quickly restrained his expression and waved his hand, as if the little episode just now was not worth mentioning.
"Let's go. Didn't the Queen Mother approve Qinghui Palace for us to stay temporarily?"
She took the lead and the three followed behind her, but the atmosphere was a little subtle.
There was a hint of worry between Qin Zhaowan's brows. He seemed to be walking calmly, but his eyes seemed to be fixed on a certain point in the void.
Like all the other officials, she felt that the Second Princess Shufeng's audience was too... frivolous, and was pondering her true purpose. Qin Zhaoshu didn't show it on his face, his lips slightly pursed, and his eyes drifted several times, seemingly unintentionally, across Qin Zhaoyue's face, which was filled with the expression of "none of my business."
Finally, she took two quick steps and walked side by side with Qin Zhaoyue, turning her head and piercing her with her eyes like a probe.
"Sixth sister, have you heard any rumors?"
Qin Zhaoyue paused and stopped.
The other three also stopped subconsciously, their eyes instantly focused on her.
Especially the third brother, his eyes quickly swept between the fourth brother and the sixth brother.
Qin Zhaoyue tilted his head and looked at Qin Zhaoshu in disbelief.
"Fourth sister, are you crazy? You ask me?"
Everyone: ...
The third brother couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
She stretched out her slender jade fingers and gently touched Qin Zhaoyue's smooth forehead with a hint of pampering and warning.
"You, your mouth is really unforgiving.
Be careful not to offend your fourth sister too much, or she will find an opportunity to make things difficult for you."
Qin Zhaoyue immediately cooperated by shrinking his neck, pretending to be scared, with his big eyes blinking.
"Oh, that's too scary, Third Sister, you have to protect me~"
Fourth Brother: Okay, okay, I’m the only bad guy, right?
Looking at this sister who was pretending to be stupid and stubborn, I felt a lump in my chest.
"I just saw that Sixth Sister was very relaxed, as if she didn't care about anything, so I asked this question."
Good, you old bastard! Qin Zhaoyue cursed in her heart, you have to throw the work on her, right?
"I feel relaxed because I don't have to worry about anything. Anyway, I have two sisters who are both virtuous and talented up front. Why should I worry about anything?"
The Fifth Prince Qin Jingzhan beside him: ...
He blinked hard at Qin Zhaoyue, meaning: What about me? Where's my good brother? I'm right here!
The third brother chuckled, "Just be lazy. The Queen Mother might assign you another errand."
Qin Zhaoyue shuddered immediately, "No, I won't leave Beijing even if you kill me."
The three sisters walked forward, talking and laughing.
Qin Jingzhan:!!!
May I ask, I'm on 8am!
Just as the Second Princess Shuofeng was paying her respects to the emperor, the notice boards outside the imperial city were already in an uproar.
The yamen runners had just laboriously slapped the huge yellow notice covered with glue on the wall and flattened it with a long pole when a surging crowd rushed up impatiently.
The final list of candidates for the supplementary preliminary examination of the Zhongchendao Women's Provincial Examination has finally been posted!
With the help of the second princess Shufeng's arrival in the capital, the whole Fengjing was instantly ignited with enthusiasm, like a spark thrown into an frying pan.
The people pushed and shouted, almost pressing the people in the front row against the cold wall.
Those who could read stretched their necks, anxiously searching for familiar names among the dense crowd;
Those who could not read anxiously tugged at the sleeves of others and asked questions repeatedly.
Discussions and exclamations arose one after another.
A few clever vendors pushed carts selling sweet soup and cakes and hawked their wares around the outskirts of the crowd.
A fortune teller also set up a stall, shouting "Predict your future and get your name on the list of successful candidates."
Logically speaking, it was just a list of candidates to be added to the preliminary examination. Even if there was curiosity about the news that Xiao Yunshuo was also going to take part in the provincial examination, people shouldn't be so enthusiastic.
In fact, there is another secret reason, that is, news has been circulating in various circles since yesterday.
All the major gambling houses and some secret flower shows will offer astonishing odds based on the ranking of the women's provincial examination!
After a day of fermentation, the news spread like wildfire.
If you invest ten or a hundred cents and bet on an unpopular dark horse, the return may be a hundred or a thousand times!
The temptation of getting rich overnight is like the strongest liquor, igniting the flames of greed and luck in the hearts of countless people.
Amidst the clamor, an incredibly sharp voice suddenly rang out:
"That's not right. Why isn't Miss Zheng from the Duke of Zheng's Mansion named here?"
These words were like thunder, instantly making the surrounding area quiet for a moment.
"Bullshit, how could Miss Zheng not be on the list?"
"That's right. If we don't talk about the most talented woman in the capital, she must be among the top three."
"This time, I'm definitely the favorite to win. How could I not sign up?"
"You can't read, right? Get out of here!"
The man was scolded and his face turned red. "Really not, see for yourself!"
There was another commotion ahead, but it gradually turned into an eerie silence.
"This... really doesn't exist?"
"That's impossible. Did I miss it? Or was it written wrong?"
"Hiss... really not."
"Look quickly, and look carefully again!"
As more and more people searched from beginning to end, whispers of surprise spread rapidly like ripples.
Many people showed disbelief on their faces and could not accept this fact.
The eldest daughter of Duke Zheng's mansion is one of the favorites to win the provincial examination.
Many people in the field even made up their minds to place their bets on her, but in the end they didn't even sign up?
…
At this moment, the carriage with the emblem of Duke Zheng's Mansion had just driven smoothly out of the palace city.
He was walking slowly along the broad Zhuque Street towards the government office.
Duke Zheng Mingyuan sat upright in the carriage, his eyes closed, resting, his fingers unconsciously twisting the oily red sandalwood Buddhist beads on his wrist.
Suddenly, the rapid and hurried sound of horse hooves broke the silence...
