Chapter 46: Parade, Little Father, Wait for Me to Marry You
This year's top scholar was an unknown student from a lower state, which was unexpected to everyone.
Everyone was surprised and full of curiosity about this new top scholar.
Everyone was looking forward to the parade three days later to see the appearance of the new top scholar.
At Si's house, Si Yao lives his own life behind closed doors.
After these few days, she was afraid that she would never have such leisure time again.
Moreover, Si Yao was fully focused on planning the date of her marriage to Fang Zhiyue. This was obviously more of a concern to her than anything else going on outside.
"Father, when do you think we should set the date? The eighth and tenth day of next month are both good dates. Which day do you prefer?"
Hearing her mention this, Fang Zhiyue's hand, which was carving the walnut, immediately paused.
The month has come to an end.
The two dates she mentioned were more urgent than the last.
Fang Zhiyue whispered, "I'll listen to Sister Yao..."
"Okay, then I'll decide. My little father is just waiting to marry me."
Si Yao did not refuse and agreed immediately.
She took the carved walnut aside and took his hand, sitting on her lap. "In three days, the top scholar will be paraded through the streets. How about your father come to watch it? I'll have Shi Qi take you there."
"Can I go?"
Fang Zhiyue sat obediently on her lap.
Asked in a low voice.
Doesn't she dislike him going out?
"Of course I can go. I want my father to see me in the red top scholar robe."
"Okay, I'll go..."
Seeing how well-behaved he was, Si Yao couldn't help but lean over and kiss him on the lips.
She was getting more and more excessive in her kissing.
Fang Zhiyue quickly nudged her shoulder and said, "Sister Yao, I still have to carve some walnut carvings. It's almost next month, and Hu's shop is waiting for them."
During the time the two of them settled in the capital.
Hu's shop also successfully opened in the capital.
"Okay, let's continue tonight..."
Si Yao didn't force him, but he didn't let him get off his legs either.
She casually picked up a book and let him sit on her lap: "Little father, continue carving your walnut sculptures. I won't disturb you."
Then he picked up the book in his hand and started reading.
Fang Zhiyue twisted his waist uncomfortably, and seeing that she lowered her head and no longer looked at him, he could only sit there.
The two of them stayed quietly in the room for a day.
After dinner in the evening, Fang Zhiyue had just taken a shower when Si Yao pushed him down on the bed.
"Little Father, how many days have we not been this close?"
She asked in a hoarse voice.
"You've been nursing your body for so long, it should be fully recovered now, right?"
Fang Zhiyue met her dark eyes and knew that there was no way to avoid it tonight.
He only whispered a reminder, "You...don't go too far."
Si Yao hummed and lowered her head to kiss his mouth. Her lips moved slightly, and she easily conquered him.
She chased after him, dominating his breath and snatching away all the air from his nostrils.
Fang Zhiyue couldn't help but whimper twice.
Si Yao struggled even more eagerly, his hands firmly gripping his waist and exerting pressure to prevent him from resisting.
She released his lips, slid down his neck, and finally bit his small Adam's apple. Warm kisses rained down on his protruding collarbone.
Fang Zhiyue held her head and tilted his neck back, sobbing uncontrollably: "Sister Yao..."
Si Yao, however, clung to him, turning a deaf ear to his pleas, holding his body and locking him tightly in his arms.
The two hadn't been this close in a few days.
Fang Zhiyue couldn't stand her violent treatment...
Finally I couldn't bear it anymore and cried out loud.
Si Yao listened to his delicate crying, but his eyes became more excited.
She grabbed his struggling hand and pressed it over his head, allowing her to do whatever she wanted.

Three days later, a lot of people gathered at Yugui Tower in the capital.
Especially the private rooms on the second floor were all reserved by the noblemen in the capital.
Just because the top scholar parade will pass by here today——
Room No. 1, the best private room in Yugui Building.
Several young men in elegant clothes were sitting under the stained glass windows. If Si Yao and Fang Zhiyue were here, they would definitely recognize one of them as Yan An.
He was sitting with a man in a blue robe, his cousin Yan Xi.
The Yan family is a prominent family in the capital. Yan An's aunt is the current head of the Yan family. She holds the position of third-rank Minister of the Central Secretariat and concurrently serves as the Grand Tutor of the Crown Princess.
He is now of marriageable age, but there is no one he likes in Qinghe County.
So County Magistrate Yan sent him back to the capital and entrusted him to his aunt and uncle, who asked them to find a good marriage for him.
"Andi, my father specifically asked me to bring you out to watch the parade of top scholars today. He wanted you to see someone. If you find someone you like, remember to tell me."
Yan Xi was quite friendly to this cousin.
His own marriage has already been decided, and the main purpose of coming out today is for Yan An.
Yan An nodded when he heard this.
It's just that my mood is a little low.
He didn't expect to hear Si Yao's name again, and he was the new top scorer this year.
Yan Xi didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing him nod, a smile appeared on his face.
Thinking of something, he reminded him again: "Oh, by the way, Cheng Huajunzi will be here soon. He is a domineering man. Remember not to conflict with him. It is best not to say a word."
Yan An had been away from Beijing for many years, so he naturally didn't know who else in the capital should not be offended.
He nodded and asked, "Does this Chenghua County boy have a very powerful background?"
"His father is the elder brother of the current Saint, and the Saint is his aunt. Do you think his status is impressive? Prince Shuhe and the eldest prince only have him as their son. They pamper him and no one dares to cross him. The nobles in the capital avoid him when they see him."
Seeing how powerful he was.
Yan An's expression became a little more serious.
I was thinking that I must stay away from this Chenghua County Master soon.
Just as he was thinking this, the door of the private room was suddenly opened.
A man dressed luxuriously and with a haughty look walked in, leading a group of servants and guards.
The nobles sitting under the flowered windows saw him and stood up to greet him: "Greetings to Master Chenghua——"
Quickly give him the best position.
Prince Chenghua raised his well-maintained hand and sat down on the flower stool.
He glanced at the nobles around him and his eyes fell on the window. "Hasn't the top scholar parade reached here yet?"
The boy closest to him immediately said, "It should be soon..."
He had just finished speaking.
There was a noise under the stained glass window.
The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground came from far away.
The boys' eyes lit up and they all leaned their heads out to look.
From afar, three female emperors could be seen approaching on horseback. The leading woman wore a red top-ranking scholar robe, with a golden and red cape draped over her shoulders. She was tall and graceful, with a refined face, like an immortal in a painting. Behind her came the runner-up, dressed in a blue robe. Her features were well-proportioned, and her expression was righteous, conveying the impression of a righteous and upright character. Following behind was this year's third-place scholar, a female emperor. She wore a cyan robe and a flowered hat, her aura as elegant as a flower, her noble and distinguished, her background evident at first glance.
The three female kings came on horseback, and the streets were lined with ordinary people who came to watch the fun.
Cheng Huajunzi saw Si Yao at a glance, and her eyes lit up immediately. Her beautiful eyes kept following her movements.
The other noblemen couldn't help but look at Si Yao, who was in the lead.
Someone couldn't help but say, "Isn't it said that the third place winner is the most beautiful? Why do I feel that this year's top scorer is even more beautiful than the third place winner?"
"Hey—look, the top scholar threw her flower hat to a boy!"
Below, Fang Zhiyue squeezed into the crowd and hugged the flower hat that Si Yao threw to him.
Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, he pursed his lips a little helplessly.
Si Yao sat on the horse, raised her lips to him from a distance, her eyes so gentle that they seemed to melt into a pool of water. Her eyes only held him, no one else.
He silently said to Fang Zhiyue: "Little father, wait for me to marry you."
Then he rode away on horseback.
Fang Zhiyue stood there in a daze, and only came back to his senses when Shi Qi reminded him from behind.
He looked at the flower hat in his arms, and his cheeks felt a little hot.
Upstairs, Cheng Huajunzi had been staring at Si Yao and naturally witnessed this scene.
He immediately narrowed his eyes, "Who is this person? What is his relationship with the No. 1 Scholar? Why is the No. 1 Scholar smiling at him so tenderly?!"
There was anger in his voice.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became stagnant.
Several noblemen around him carefully looked at his face with their eyes, and they had some amorous feelings in their hearts, but they suppressed them in an instant.
This Chenghua County Master is so interested in this new number one scholar, it seems he has taken a fancy to her...
"I know this man here. He is the young father of this number one scholar."
A clear and beautiful voice suddenly rang out in the private room.
Yan An's words attracted everyone's attention.
"Andi, stop talking!"
Yan Xi, who was sitting next to him, immediately pulled his arm.
Unfortunately, Master Chenghua had already shifted his gaze over, and his eyes fell on Yan An with a sharp look, "Whose family are you from? Why do you know this young man down there? Could it be that you also know this number one female scholar?"
Yan An ignored Yan Xi's obstruction.
He bowed and spoke slowly, "My Lord, I am the son of the second branch of the Yan family. I have been serving with my mother in Qinghe County, Yunzhou. This newly crowned champion is also from Yunzhou, and her registered residence falls within my mother's jurisdiction. She has always been a scholar and well-known in Qinghe County, so I am somewhat familiar with her. This young man is her mother's second wife, her young father. After her mother and grandfather passed away, the newly crowned champion and her young father have been living together."
"but…"
When Yan An said this, his voice paused deliberately.
"But what?" Cheng Huajunzi asked impatiently.
Yan An's expression became secretive. "Although this man is her father, he and her mother were never married, and he is not included in the family tree. Their relationship is very unusual."
"Are you saying that there is an affair between her and her young father?"
Chenghua County Master immediately frowned.
Yan An nodded, "I'm not too sure about this... This is all I know..."
He stopped talking at the right time.
The rest is left to Chenghua Junzi to guess.
Sometimes you don't need to say things too clearly; being vague and vague can arouse more speculation.
