Chapter 82: Two Leaders in One Family
"Oh my God, not only is she beautiful, but she also has such a beautiful voice!" Lu Xingxia subconsciously exclaimed, and then replied: "I know her. Miss Chen is a very knowledgeable person. Miss Chen and I hit it off right away!"
"This beautiful girl looks so familiar, and we feel like we've known each other for a long time!" Lu Xingxia's eyes seemed to be glued to Ling Qingyan's face, and he couldn't stop looking at her.
Chen Chuo felt annoyed when he saw her trying to divert His Highness's attention. He wanted to trip her and make her fall, but he withdrew his foot the moment Ling Qingyan looked over.
Chen Mansheng tugged at Lu Xingxia and whispered in a low voice, "This is His Highness."
Chen Mansheng and Lu Xingxia met during the Spring Examination. When she was standing behind Lu Xingxia during the body search while queuing, Lu Xingxia's pen was stolen by a thief who wanted to tease her. She was very anxious. Chen Mansheng was always cautious and would consider several situations. She had brought several wolf-hair pens with her. Unable to bear seeing her miss the exam, Chen Mansheng lent a helping hand and gave her the extra pens.
Lu Xingxia was planning to write it with her hands dipped in ink, but she received help from a kind person and she was very grateful.
She asked Chen Mansheng for his name so that she could thank him for his kindness in the future, but he shook his head and told her not to worry about it, as they would meet again in the future if they were lucky.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had such a connection. During the martial arts test, Chen Mansheng finally faced off against Lu Xingxia, who had conquered all the obstacles along the way.
Her mother taught her poetry, books, etiquette, Yi, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her father taught her martial arts and military tactics. He never looked down on her because she was a girl, and even had high expectations for her.
So Chen Mansheng's kung fu was not bad, but he only got second place. The first place in the martial arts test was Lu Xingxia.
She is indeed a very capable girl.
She is cheerful and lively. Although her husband has died and her life is not so smooth, she is still optimistic and free-spirited. After her husband's death, she went to Beijing alone to take the examination for female officials.
When Lu Xingxia heard Chen Mansheng's words, his eyes changed and he looked even more excited.
"Dian Dian Dian..." Before Lu Xingxia could finish his words, he saw the beautiful girl like a flower making a "hush" gesture, so he swallowed his words.
Lu Xingxia's voice was indeed quite loud, and Ling Qingyan didn't want other students to know that she was a princess, as it would make them uncomfortable.
"Just call me Qingyan." Ling Qingyan said with a smile.
Lu Xingxia was originally answering while stuffing a steamed bun into his mouth, but after hearing Chen Mansheng tell him that the beautiful girl in front of him was a princess, he immediately put the steamed bun down, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and became much more reserved than before.
Seeing this, Ling Qingyan said, "Miss Lu, there's no need to be so uncomfortable. I see that your personality is very lovely. You must be a cheerful and open-minded person."
Lu Xingxia's face turned red when he was praised by the beautiful princess, and his tail was almost raised to the sky.
"Your Highness is truly a wonderful person. The capital city is truly interesting!"
This was Lu Xingxia's first time in the capital. Although she encountered a daring thief who stole her pen and played a trick on her, she also met kind-hearted people like Miss Chen who helped her.
Because of this, I even got to see the legendary princess. So, I really should thank that little thief.
With such an experience, even if the results are not ideal, it is not in vain.
Several people were chatting and laughing. Lu Xingxia was a carefree person and they chatted very harmoniously.
After a long time, the crowd began to commotion.
An official came out and posted the notice!!
Heads were looking around, standing on tiptoe, pushing and shoving to look forward.
Ling Qingyan was accompanied by guards, and Han Qixilan was also beside him, and they were in the first row, so he didn't suffer much.
Lu Xingxia felt his heart rise to his chest. He subconsciously tugged at Chen Mansheng's sleeve, his hands shaking. "Please bless me, Bodhisattva, God of Wealth, Yue Lao, Wen Qu Xing, and all the other deities. I must win, win, win, win... Seventh! I won!"
Lu Xingxia muttered to himself as he scanned the list of female officials who had passed the examination. When he saw his name, his eyes welled up and he burst into tears.
Crying and laughing, "Miss Chen, Miss Qingyan, I, I, I got it!"
"I am also capable of being an official!"
"Hahahahahahaha thank you all great gods!" Lu Xingxia stuffed the remaining half of the bun into his arms, puffed it up a little, clasped his hands together, and muttered to the sky with confidence.
Chen Mansheng was much calmer than her. Although he was also anxiously waiting for the result, he did not show it and just searched for his own name calmly.
There were more than 300 names of men on the gold list, but only more than 50 vacancies for women. No matter how well Chen Mansheng could control her emotions, when she saw her name at the top of the list, her heart was surging, as if a huge wave was rolling up, and her heart was beating very fast.
She was extremely happy, and the first person she looked at was Ling Qingyan. Her eyes were slightly red, as if she was hiding a thousand words.
Ling Qingyan held her hand, she was really happy for her.
"I knew that someone as tenacious as you would get what you want."
Ling Qingyan was originally prone to tear incontinence. When she saw Chen Mansheng's red eyes, tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Your Highness, I won the first place in the imperial examination! I am the first in the imperial examination!" Shen Chuo looked at Ling Qingyan excitedly.
"You're so promising, Chen Chuo! What's wrong with your brain? I'm so happy! I'm so happy!"
With two top leaders in one family, there must be something special about the brains of the Chen Guogong family.
Ling Qingyan's face was full of emotion. It was great that everyone was getting better and better.
"Tonight, Zuixianglou! We won't go home until we're drunk!" Ling Qingyan was excited. How could one or two of them be so promising?
Ling Qingyan looked at Lu Xingxia again and said with a smile, "Miss Lu, Mansheng and I are so compatible. Mansheng and I like Miss Lu's personality and hope to become friends with her. Is Miss Lu willing?"
"Of course I do!" Lu Xingxia said hurriedly, "It's my great fortune to be friends with Miss Chen, Hedian... and Miss Qingyan! I told the fortune teller that good things would happen to me this month, and they were right!"
Lu Xingxia felt that he had never been so happy in his life. He had passed the imperial examination and met a close friend. He was truly in high spirits.
"Then Miss Lu should also come to tonight's celebration banquet. Let's drink tonight!"
"Okay! I'd love to!" Lu Xingxia is not the type to be shy. As long as she wants to do this thing and participate in this banquet, she won't even say a word to save face and refuse.
The mission is about to be completed, and Ling Qingyan is about to leave this world. Lu Xingxia seems to be extremely free and open-minded. She wants to leave Mansheng with a good friend who knows her, so that she won't be too lonely and sad after she leaves.
A faint smile appeared on Ling Qingyan's face. The sun was glaring. She looked at the clouds in the sky and murmured, "It's really a nice day today."
She looked at the blue sky, and Chen Chuo beside her was also looking at her, with a deep smile containing some imperceptible fascination.
Tonight is really getting more and more lively.
