Kui Yongsi couldn't bear it anymore, covered her face and ran away.

Zhu Bamei rolled her eyes, feeling that she had won a little too easily.

I thought this number two was so powerful, but I didn’t expect it was just an embroidered pillow.

She did not leave in a hurry, but took a moral high ground and said a few words, which not only once again strengthened her and Zhu Qi's "victim" status, but also apologized for wasting too much of everyone's time, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Everyone saw the joke.

Well, she asked the maid and mother-in-law to buy some food as an apology gift.

The ladies didn’t expect that eating melons would have such benefits, and they were pleasantly surprised: “As expected of someone from a high-ranking family, look at this style, it’s so grand!”

"No, she is a rich lady."

"Fortunately, no one has slandered her. Otherwise, it would be a pity for such a good daughter to be ruined."

…

After returning home, Zhu Bamei told Ye Yuran and others about the matter.

She also told Zhu San that he must investigate carefully.

Although I don’t know what happened, the second-place finisher named Kui Yongsi must have great malice towards Zhu Qi, otherwise he wouldn’t have said such inexplicable words.

Fortunately, it was her who was with Zhu Qi today, and she had to change to someone with a foreign surname...

"When the time comes, it will be difficult to explain if he really spills the dirty water!"

Xu Yujin also looked surprised and said: "Isn't it? This second place...is so malicious towards Lao Qi? Could it be that Lao Qi didn't know when he accidentally offended him?"

Zhu Qi: "...Probably...no way? I'm not familiar with him, I just said a few words to him."

"Why not? Brother Qi, you have forgotten that last time he asked you to stay away from some girl..." Zhu Bamei didn't think so and said, "I see, maybe he has already planned it. It's just that he

I didn’t expect that I would be the one shopping with you today, otherwise if this matter reaches the ears of my future sister-in-law, it will definitely affect your relationship as husband and wife."

Outsiders don't know it, but the Zhu family members know that Princess Yaoyue will choose Zhu Qi as her consort, and she is really emotionally moved.

If there were not such deep feelings, Princess Yaoyue might just feel a bit slapped in the face and just need to explain clearly.

But if true feelings arise, people will become petty. Maybe these inconspicuous things will become a thorn in the couple's relationship, piercing deeper and deeper until one day it breaks out and turns into a thorn in the side.

Volcano eruption.

Ye Yuran asked Zhu San: "Didn't you find anything wrong with the previous checks?"

Zhu San shook his head: "No. I guess that either Lao Qi blocked his interests, or he was just jealous."

"That is to say, the eighth sister's guess may be right. Maybe the second-place Kui is here for the position of Prince Consort?"

"I don't know..."

…

Naturally, the Zhu family did not blame Princess Yaoyue for this incident.

She is the eldest princess, and it is normal for people to keep an eye on her status and want to take advantage of her.

Since Ye Yuran had allowed the two of them to be together in the first place, he had already been mentally prepared.

It's just that Ye Yuran didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen so quickly, so early, even if he was ranked second in the rankings, it would be inevitable.

Ye Yuran said: "This matter... let's talk to Princess Yaoyue. She has an idea in mind, and it will be easier for us to handle later."

At this time, Ye Yuran was very lucky. Fortunately, she asked Princess Yaoyue for someone to protect Zhu Qi early. People who passed by Princess Yaoyue could see clearly what happened, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

Originally, Zhu Qi was nothing, but rumors came out. As the saying goes, if there is no wind, it will not rise, and flies will not stare at the seamless eggs. Over time, some shadows will always be left.

Ye Yuran also hopes that this incident can inoculate Princess Yaoyue and allow her to prepare mentally early so that she will not "misunderstand" Zhu Qi by listening to other people's beliefs in the future.

In the palace.

Princess Yaoyue was also surprised when she heard this.

"Second place?"

"Yes, princess." Eunuch Ziqi lowered his head, indicating that the person who threw dirt on the consort was indeed the second-ranked concubine.

He was there at the time.

He guessed that someone would want to ruin the marriage between his princess and Master Zhu Qi, but he didn't expect that this person would be the second-ranked candidate who had just passed the exam.

To be honest, the second-place finisher has really good conditions in all aspects, be it looks or talent.

Unfortunately, he showed up too late, and the princess fell in love with Mr. Zhu Qi.

Otherwise, if two people compete together, it is not certain who will win.

Princess Yaoyue frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

She knew that there would be people watching her marriage, and the benefits were very attractive.

But how long has it been since?

The people she thought would move haven't made any move yet. How dare a second-place finisher from a poor family dare to take a chance on her?

He snorted coldly on the spot: "Humph! Who does he think he is?"

"For a dignified scholar who doesn't want to serve the imperial court and just wants to take this shortcut, it's a waste of his quota."

"If I had known he was this kind of person, I should have intervened when the emperor chose second place."

…

He is only second on the list. It would be easy to make him lose the selection.

But it's not too late to be ranked second in the rankings. At worst, his original official position will be wiped out and thrown into a corner somewhere.

After asking again, Princess Yaoyue fell silent.

Because the official position assigned to Kui Yongsi was not high to begin with, her position seemed... not very good either.

There is no corner more corner than that one.

So, does this guy not like the emperor's younger brother to begin with?

"You mean...Kui ranked second?"

Emperor Qin was surprised. He put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Princess Yaoyue who was sitting aside drinking tea.

So, his imperial sister suddenly came to interrupt his work just to ask about the second place candidate?

Don't tell him that not long after her marriage to Zhu Tanhua was decided, the imperial sister changed her mind and fell in love with the second-placed concubine again.

"Sister Huang, you... have a crush on him?"

It's not impossible to issue a new decree, that's right...

Emperor Qin frowned slightly, thinking about how to explain to the Zhu family.

After all, now he still wants to reuse Zhu San.

"Who has taken a fancy to him? I'm not blind, so I would have taken a fancy to this kind of embroidered pillow?" Princess Yaoyue rolled her eyes, "I came to you just to ask, why did you assign him such a place?

You don’t really like him, do you?”

"Isn't that true? I quite appreciate Kui's talent, but his articles lack some practical spirit. I want him to go to the local level for a few years to gain experience. If he performs well, he can be reused in the future.

." Emperor Qin explained to Princess Yaoyue that he transferred Kui Yongsi to such a remote place because he valued Kui Yongsi.

After all, Zhu San can achieve results with just one move. He believes that Kui Yongsi's talent should not be too bad.

He wants Qingyuan County to bloom everywhere in Dayan, so more talents are needed to go to the local area to display their talents and show their talents.

It just so happened that Kui Yongsi had talent, but it still lacked some flavor.

He sent Kui Yongsi to that place, firstly for experience and secondly for test.

In addition, Zhu Qi once shared Zhu San's local achievements and development plans with everyone at a party hosted by Zhuangyuan Lang. Emperor Qin was full of expectations - he believed that with Kui Yongsi's talent, even if he

He didn't know anything, but as long as he got to 30% of Zhu San, he could fix that place.

Princess Yaoyue: "...Royal brother, is there a possibility that you think highly of him?"

Only then did Emperor Qin realize that the emperor's sister didn't seem to value Kui Yongsi, but she didn't like her very much?

"What's wrong? Has Kui ranked second on the list offended you? It shouldn't be possible, right? It doesn't look like there is any intersection between you." Emperor Qin thought for a while, but he really couldn't figure out how Princess Yaoyue could be with Kui Yongsi.

Get involved.
