Jiaochu

In a blink of an eye, the day of the scientific examination came.

Ye Lingxi informed her father and mother the day before and went out after breakfast that day. When she arrived at the place where the carriage stopped, she found that Yan Fei was there, her eyes lit up, and she quickened her pace and ran over.

"Brother Yan, did your father send you to protect me?"

"The emperor asked me to keep an eye on the princess and don't let her run around."

Ye Lingxi tilted his head and said, "Brother Yan, please be careful and don't let me escape." After saying that, he blinked again and immediately got into the carriage. Yan Fei clenched his fist and coughed lightly before ordering to set off. There was a hint of red on his face, which was a bit suspicious~

The gate of Gongyuan was already crowded with people and carriages, all friends and relatives who came to see off the candidates.

After the carriage pulled over, Ye Lingxi lifted the curtain and looked outside. He saw a sea of ​​people gathered at the door. After searching in the crowd for a while, he locked in a direction and then pointed the direction to Yan Fei, "Brother Yan, Brother Su is here." Over there, let's go there quickly." Yan Fei hummed.

Seeing that there were many people in front of them, Yanfei walked in front and led the way.

As soon as she got closer, Ye Lingxi heard a clear cry of "Brother Yan", and then saw a pretty little girl running over, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of watery almond eyes.

Seeing the other party running over, he took Yan Fei's arm and Ye Lingxi felt a little irritable. Yan Fei was about to withdraw his arm, but was held on by the other party. Ye Lingxi felt a little more irritable. At this time, Su Wan and Su Shi both came over.

"Yu'er, this is Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Su Wan introduced.

Only then did Ye Lingxi realize that the other party was Su Yu, the youngest daughter of Su Shangshu, who was two years older than her. Her temperament was different from what she had imagined.

"Are you the third princess?" Su Yu looked at Ye Lingxi from head to toe without saluting.

"Yu'er, don't be rude." Su Wan said with a slightly angry expression.

Su Yu made a face and immediately hid behind Yan Fei.

Ye Lingxi took a deep breath silently and got down to business, "Brother Su, take these knee pads with you. It's cold at night. Don't freeze." He He stepped forward and handed over the bundle in his hand. Su Yu came from behind Yan Fei. He stuck his head out and said, "Second brother has several pairs of kneepads. Mother has prepared everything, so there is no need for the princess to worry."

"The princess prepared this for Mr. Su," Lingdang was a little angry. Seeing that they were about to start a fight, Ye Lingxi looked back at her, and Lingdang stopped talking.

Su Shi thanked Ye Lingxi and asked the book boy to take the burden from He He.

"My mother has carefully inspected everything brought into the examination room. If there is something in it that will prevent my second brother from going in to take the exam," Su Yu glanced at the baggage, "my second brother's ten years of hard work will have been in vain."

Not angry, not angry... Ye Lingxi took a deep breath silently, "Sister Yu'er, don't worry, there is a pair of knee pads inside. I checked it myself."

Just as Su Yu was about to speak, Su Wan said: "Second brother, it's getting late. You go in first." Ye Lingxi seized the time and said a few auspicious words, "I wish brother Su a gold medal and a bright future." He sent Su Shi to Gongyuan and was taken away by Su Wan.

Ye Lingxi glanced at Yan Fei and said nonchalantly, "She's pretty good-looking." Yan Fei didn't react for a moment, feeling like he should explain himself when another uninvited guest came.

The other party is holding the dog, isn't it Zhao Ce or who is it?

Others were sent by their parents, brothers and sisters, but Zhao Ce was different and brought all the dogs at home. However, Xiao Hei's shiny black fur and powerful figure made it easy to clear the way. People around him retreated and gave way automatically.

Seeing Ye Lingxi, Xiao Hei rushed over with his head and tail wagging. Zhao Ce spent a lot of effort to hold the dog back. Yan Fei looked over and Xiao Hei sat on the ground obediently.

Seeing that Gouzi was so unsatisfied, Zhao Ce really hated the iron and felt that Yan Fei was an eyesore, "You don't want to take the exam, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Ye Lingxi waved behind him, and Zhao Ce looked back and saw Hu Yuhan and Hu Qian'er walking over. When the sun rose high, the gatekeeper sounded the gong and the Gongyuan closed its doors.

All the relatives and friends gathered outside the door dispersed, and those who were dragging their feet were driven away by the officials.

It was a rare meeting. Ye Lingxi and Hu Qian'er first went to visit Rouge House and then the dim sum shop, while Yan Fei brought them things.

The three of them planned to go to Jufulou for dinner. Ye Lingxi hadn't eaten the steamed cheese with sugar for a long time, and Hu Qian'er was also craving for the crab-stuffed orange dish.

As soon as the three of them entered the building, someone greeted them.

Seeing Dong Mo, Ye Lingxi was a little surprised, "Second brother is here too?" Dong Mo made an invitation gesture, "His Royal Highness is upstairs."

When they went upstairs, Hu Qian'er asked Ye Lingjue when he came and if he was also here to give someone away. Dong Mo replied that he was here to buy pen and paper.

After leading the three people into the box, Dong Mo closed the door and left.

Ye Lingjue glanced at the things Yan Fei was carrying and said, "Put it there." Yan Fei put the things on the empty chair next to him and said, "Does Your Highness have any other instructions?"

The atmosphere is a little cold.

"Let's eat first. I'm already hungry after shopping for a long time." Ye Lingxi broke the slightly awkward atmosphere.

However, after the three of them were seated, the atmosphere seemed a little more awkward.

Ye Lingjue and Yan Fei happened to be sitting across from each other, with Ye Lingxi and Hu Qian'er separated from them.

"Ahem..." Ye Lingxi cleared her throat and called the waiter. Dong Mo opened the door and walked in, "Just tell me what the princess wants to eat."

After Ye Lingxi and Hu Qianer talked about what they wanted to eat, there were already eight dishes, enough for four people. Ye Lingjue signaled, and Dong Mo went to tell the waiter to serve the food.

After finishing the meal, the atmosphere became a bit quiet.

When leaving, Hu Qian'er and Ye Lingxi walked together and quietly asked her if the other two people had quarreled. Ye Lingxi's explanation was that both of them were a little shy and not good at words.

After coming out of Jufu Tower, two carriages went in the direction of the palace, and one carriage went in the direction of Hu Mansion.

After dinner, Ye Lanchen summoned Ye Qingran, Ye Lingjue, Ye Xingye and Yanfei to the imperial study room. Then Eunuch De took the four of them to the library and arranged a room for each of them. There is an examination question on each desk, the same as the candidates in Gongyuan.

The next night, after Lingxi learned about this from Xiao Anzi, he quietly sneaked to the library and had a look.

In the next few days, she would come to the neighborhood every day to take a look.

On the day when Gongyuan opened its doors, the four of them also came out of the library.

The four of them were more or less tired, but Ye Xingye was the most obvious, with a disheveled face and blurry eyes, as if more than half of his three souls and seven souls had been taken away, while the other half was floating above his head, half-dead.
