What does oh mean?
The prefect of Shengjing followed Jiang Qi with trepidation in his heart.
Jiang Qi saw Yue Lingfeng, waved away the prefect of Shengjing, and asked, "What did the princess ask you just now?"
Yue Lingfeng raised his eyes and said, "Hello, Lord Temple Minister. The princess just asked me about the candied haws."
"You accidentally dropped the candied haws on the ink scroll." Jiang Qi's tone was very certain.
"yes."
"Where did it fall?"
Although they were just a few questions, when combined with what Wen Yu had asked before, Yue Lingfeng immediately realized that this candied haws was the key to proving him.
He said in a deep voice: "Bottom right corner."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Jiang Qi looked at him and said, "But your ink scroll has been burned. There is no way to prove that what you said is true."
Yue Lingfeng did not rush to refute this question, but slowly said: "Master Jiang, since you asked, it means that the clue of candied haws must have been found in the copied red paper, and I was the only one who brought candied haws to the examination room, so whether you doubt the truth of my words or not, the facts are there."
Jiang Qi heard this and suddenly said something completely unrelated: "The princess really has good taste."
The topic jumped too quickly, which made Yue Lingfeng stunned.
However, although these words seemed to praise Wen Yu, they actually praised him as well.
After a moment of silence, Yue Lingfeng said, "The princess is naturally good in every way."
Jiang Qi's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he suddenly asked, "You should not have known the princess's identity, otherwise you would not have gone to the step of filing a complaint with the emperor. So, do you know the princess's hobbies?"
These words were particularly unclear, but Yue Lingfeng knew what Jiang Qi meant in an instant.
He was asking if he understood the lady's amorous feelings?
In fact, Yue Lingfeng had recognized Jiang Qi in the hall.
When the imperial guards caused a riot on Lin'an Street, the princess grabbed Jiang Qi's hand and left with him, completely forgetting about him.
It was also at that time that he saw through Wen Yu's amorousness and fickleness.
But he had lost his heart as early as the first glimpse at the Thesis Teahouse.
Even if he is not the lady's only one, he is happy with it.
Now that the young lady has turned into a princess, the heart he has given to her cannot be taken back, so he puts himself in the right position and waits obediently for the princess's favor.
Yue Lingfeng looked at Jiang Qi, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "When she was still a young lady, I knew her hobbies."
Jiang Qi frowned when he heard this: "You don't mind?"
Yue Lingfeng did not answer him, but asked: "Master Jiang, have you ever been moved?"
Jiang Qi shook his head: "I won't be attracted to the princess."
"Really?" Yue Lingfeng said, "But I didn't ask you, Princess."
Jiang Qi: ...
There was a rare flash of panic in his eyes, which was extremely inconsistent with his aura.
Jiang Qi always has a serious expression, and the phrase "staying calm even when faced with a catastrophe" can best be used to describe him.
But he never seemed to realize that he could remain calm even when the sky was falling, but a word of teasing from Wen Yu could make his expression change drastically.
Jiang Qi concealed his panic and returned to a serious look: "I have never been tempted."
Yue Lingfeng nodded, without saying anything more, and only said: "Then when you are interested, you will naturally find the answer."
After he finished speaking, he murmured in his heart: Anyway, it’s not far away…
Jiang Qi lowered his eyes, somewhat puzzled as to why he asked Yue Lingfeng this question.
But at that moment, he asked without thinking.
He calmed himself down and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to take back the title of the top of the examination tonight."
"You dropped the candied haws on the lower right corner of the ink scroll, leaving a candy stain, and the princess found the same candy stain on the upper left corner of the back of the red scroll."
"It can be inferred that when the transcriber was copying the red scroll, it was stacked on top of your black scroll and stained. Because it was on the back, the transcriber did not notice the sugar stain."
"The candied haws you brought just happened to prove yourself."
Yue Lingfeng was not very surprised when he heard this, as he had already guessed most of it.
He chuckled and said, "The candied haws were given to me by the princess. In the final analysis, it was the princess who helped me."
Jiang Qi: ...
"I will go to the palace to see the emperor now, but the mastermind has not yet been found. For your safety, you will have to stay in Shengjing Prefecture Prison for a few more days."
Yue Lingfeng watched Jiang Qi leave.
At this time, Yang Cheng in the cell next to him nudged Ai Suo and said, "No wonder you brought candied haws into the Spring Examination Hall."
Only then did Yue Lingfeng realize that there was another person next door.
He thought of the conversation he had just had with Jiang Qi and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Master Yang, I am sorry to have embarrassed you."
Yang Cheng leaned against the wall, propped up one leg, and flipped through the book in his hand. He said calmly, "What's so funny? The princess's speech in front of the main gate has been spread among the ministers. Who doesn't know that you are the man the princess likes?"
Yue Lingfeng: ...
Yang Cheng said: "But I would like to advise you not to think that you can rest easy just because the princess has said so. After all, the princess has also said that she will definitely take down Prime Minister Lin, but how is Prime Minister Lin now?"
Even Yue Lingfeng, who didn't like gossip, had heard about Wen Yu's pursuit of Lin Yu before. After all, it was a source of entertainment for the entire Shengjing City.
Yang Cheng added: "Not to mention there is General Lu."
Although the ministers did not say anything, everyone could see that the flirting between the two was so intense that it was visible on their faces.
What's more, General Lu once asked the emperor to grant him a marriage with the princess.
The relationship between the princess and General Lu is no longer a secret in the court.
Of course, the relationship between the Dali Temple Minister and the princess seems a little unclear.
However, the ministers all understood Jiang Qi's style of doing things and knew that there was no way he would have anything to do with the princess.
After all, Jiang Qi is law-abiding, self-disciplined and polite, while the princess... is the complete opposite of Jiang Qi.
The two people are one from the south and one from the north, one black and one white.
Yue Lingfeng heard about the relationship between Lu Ren and Wen Yu for the first time. He pursed his lips and said, "General Lu?"
Yang Cheng closed the book: "You don't know?"
