Chapter 445 How Much Love Deepens the Mandarin Alliance 5
"Who did you take with you on the day the rankings were announced?"

"Of course it's someone Yue Huaiyi doesn't even know, otherwise it's not good if you see someone you know and reveal your secrets."

"It's really lively now. The dignified princess will go to the list to catch her son-in-law. Then don't be laughed at and lose face."

"Of course it's impossible." Yuan Zhao was full of confidence.

Chunwei took three consecutive exams, each of which lasted three days, and was administered by the Hanlin Academy.The list issued by the examination is called Xingbang, and when the list is released, the Xingbang is overcrowded, all students or their family members who come to see the list, and those who come later will not be able to squeeze in.How many people in front of this list wept with joy, and how many people returned disappointed.Catching a son-in-law under the list is a very interesting thing. On the day when the list is released, the whole family of wealthy gentry officials will be dispatched to compete to choose the son-in-law of the first-ranked scholar.

Exams are the main way for the imperial court to select officials. Those who pass the imperial examinations will receive both fame and wealth and generous remuneration, so many students regard rushing to the exams as the ultimate goal in life.However, the official positions in the imperial court are limited after all, and they cannot withstand the competition of people all over the world, so only the best can hope to win.After ten years of hard work, "If you don't make it to the top, you can't get married" has become the motto of many young students. It is precisely because of this that the arrest of a son-in-law under the list has become more and more intense and has become a custom.

There were also quite a few jokes among them. There was a person who was "hungry and hungry" and didn't ask if the student had any family members. He robbed anyone he saw, and snatched them at home. People in high-ranking robes came to ask, "I only have one daughter. Would you like to marry the young master as your wife, I wonder if it is possible?"

The student bowed deeply, and declined: "I come from a humble background. It would be a blessing if I can climb high. How about you wait until I go home and discuss it with my wife?"

The crowd around the audience roared with laughter, there are countless such embarrassing things.It was even rumored that an old man was awarded a Jinshi, and someone proposed marriage to him. He did not refuse, but wrote a quatrain: "If you read all the documents, you will get a green shirt when you are old. But the matchmaker asked Yu's age, 40 years old. Before 33."

Therefore, finding a son-in-law under this list is also a science. You need to know whether someone has a family background, and you also need to know how old the student on the list is. Don't snatch a man who has a regular wife at home, and don't get a son-in-law who is older than his father-in-law Disciples make jokes.

Therefore, the people who came to the Xingbang to snatch the marriage at this time all stared wide-eyed, some were holding portraits in their hands for comparison, and some were waiting with the servants who had met the person in advance, and they would go up as soon as the person arrived. Grab it and leave.Yuan Zhao was in the wing room on the second floor, watching the commotion below, three of them had already been robbed of his time.

"I said why haven't you seen that nerd show up yet? Could it be because he didn't dare to come?" Ji Xiucheng has been busy recently and didn't care about Yuan Zhao's affairs. Anyway, let's have fun.Just looking at the few people who were robbed first, several families robbed one place, and it was a lively fight, which was really interesting.

"What's the hurry? With his calm temper and his confidence, he won't bump into everyone." Yuan Zhao said indifferently. There are many people on the list, so they must be latecomers.

While the two were talking, the door of the wing room was pushed open, and it was Tong Qi and Dong Yingxi who walked in.

"Hey, haven't you started yet?" Dong Yingxi sat across from Yuan Zhao and asked with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm too late and I won't see the excitement."

"Why are you here too?" Yuan Zhao glared at Tong Qi, and knew that he must have slipped up.

Tong Qi shouted injustice, "The noise of your tossing is too great, no one in the palace knows about it, and you can't hide it. I just happened to meet Brother Dong, and it's none of my business."

No matter whose business it is, people have come, and they can't be driven away, Yuan Zhao simply let them go, saying: "Just watch, don't make trouble."

"Don't dare, dare not. I haven't seen a son-in-law under the list since I was so old. Today I am here to open my eyes." Dong Yingxi said with a smile.

Yuan Zhao glared at him, "I know you have a lot of thoughts, cousin, do you have any other ideas?"

"No, how dare I have other ideas in front of the princess, dare not, dare not."

Yuan Zhao didn't believe it, so he said, "Anyway, whoever dares to hinder you today, I will put you on the blacklist."

Dong Yingxi looked at Yuan Zhao, "I said that you shouldn't be the one sitting in the palace and letting others capture people and send them to you. That's how you look like a royal. It's too cheap for someone to come here in person."

Knowing that Dong Yingxi was hurting her, Yuan Zhao would not be fooled, and said slowly: "You don't understand, how can a person like you know the fun in it. What's the meaning of others sending it to you, you have to see it with your own eyes to enjoy it Woolen cloth."

Ji Xiucheng grinned sullenly, Tong Qi looked outside without looking back, his eyes lit up, and shouted, "People are coming, and Cheng Wei is following."

Yuan Zhao stood up immediately, and her people had already ambushed there, waiting for her instructions.Yuan Zhao watched Yue Huaiyi and Cheng Wei squeeze into the crowd, carefully searching for their names on the list, and there was a student who was just snatched beside him still struggling, and it was very lively for a while.

Cheng Wei excitedly pointed at the front of the list and said something to Yue Huaiyi, when Yue Huaiyi looked up.Yuan Zhao looked at his back, didn't know what his expression was at this time, but he could also think of his happy look.Yue Huaiyi did quite well in the exam this time, although he didn't win the first prize, he still ranked third, which is already quite eye-catching.

At this moment, someone from the unknown family rushed out, caught Yue Huaiyi and was about to run away.This sudden change made Yue Huaiyi dumbfounded, and it also made Yuan Zhao upstairs dumbfounded.

There is actually a cut!
Dong Yingxi and the others had already covered their stomachs and laughed, obviously amused by the situation before them, and they all looked at Yuan Zhao's actions.

Yuan Zhao waved the handkerchief in his hand, and saw the guards hiding in the crowd pounced on them like hungry wolves and robbed them.Cheng Wei didn't know who caught him and dragged him away. This one was also unengaged. Although he was ranked at the bottom, he won the prize and was also in demand.

Cheng Wei still wanted to help Yue Huaiyi, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't protect himself.

Over there, Yue Huaiyi managed to break free and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, everyone, I have a marriage contract, please raise your hands high."

"Are you married?" Someone in the crowd asked loudly, full of domineering.

Yue Huaiyi blushed, "Not yet."

"If you don't get married, you have to grab it. Whoever grabs it will own it." As soon as the words fell, the two teams that had just stopped fighting again.

This time Yuan Zhao brought all the elites, all of them were good players in the Imperial Forest Army, and he didn't pay attention to the servants of other people's families. If it wasn't for the fear of accidentally hurting someone and making it hard to explain, how could they have been entangled for so long.Seeing the family members gnawing at it, the leading guard couldn't hold back anymore, he knew that Her Highness the Princess was watching upstairs.If you can't even deal with a few servants, what face do you have to stay in the Imperial Forest Army?

Immediately, he greeted and led his brothers to let go, but after a few breaths, he snatched Yue Huaiyi over.The leading guard stepped forward and said to the group: "Boy, go back and tell your master that this person was snatched by our princess. We had a fair competition just now, but you lost. I would like to bet Admit defeat, no more entanglement."

When they heard that it was Her Majesty's person, the lively crowd fell silent in an instant, and they were all dumbfounded. It's never been heard that Her Majesty is here to catch a son-in-law?
When everyone was in a daze, the leading guard shouted, "Is there anyone who is not convinced? Whoever comes to snatch it, hurry up, or the brothers will take people away."

Who would dare to fight against Her Highness the Princess? Besides, looking at the group of people, the fighting power is simply not something that a few of their servants can compete with, and their voices are hoarse in an instant.Everyone is envious of this scholar's good luck. This is a step up to the sky, and His Highness the Princess has taken a fancy to him.

At this moment, Yue Huaiyi managed to break free, but he could only say: "This official, I am already engaged to be married, Your Royal Highness, I don't dare to climb high, please let me go."

The leading guard only knew to catch people and didn't know anything else. Hearing Yue Huaiyi's question at this time, he felt that the scholar was a bit stupid. To be seen by their princess was a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation, and he dared to Refused, I felt a little unhappy.

Immediately, he asked in a rough voice, "Then are you married? Are there three matchmakers and six hires? Can Baoshan testify?"

Yue Huaiyi naturally didn't have it, but he didn't give up because of that, instead he said: "Even if it's a consensual choice to catch a son-in-law, I already have a marriage contract, and I never thought about breaking the contract. Even Her Royal Highness has to be reasonable. How can a person who is strong enough to make things difficult for others?"

"It's quite stubborn." The leading guard was also a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect the scholar to be so stubborn.He didn't dare to really hurt someone, who knows if Her Royal Highness will blame him if she finds out. "What do you have to say to our Highness in person, I just followed orders and offended you." As he said that, he was about to escort Yue Huaiyi away.

Yue Huaiyi was really furious at the moment, he was not willing to leave.He had thought it through at the beginning, since he couldn't grow old with Yuan Zhao, he didn't plan to marry again in this life.He is a bit stubborn. He agreed to Yuan Zhao's marriage contract, but felt that he could not give her happiness, so he thought about going back to his hometown.But now others are forcing him to marry, isn't this something that will kill him?That stubborn temper came up, not to mention Her Royal Highness, even the emperor's presence would not be allowed.

"Marriage has been a marriage of two surnames since ancient times. How can it be a good match if it is so difficult for others? I am stubborn, pedantic, and perverse. I am not worthy of Your Royal Highness. If I must submit, I would rather give up my life for righteousness." Yue Huaiyi said If he was really going to hit the wall, if the guard who pulled him did not grab him abruptly, it would have been fatal, and both of them were sweating from fright.

At this time, on the second floor, a group of people looked at the situation outside, Ji Xiucheng clicked his tongue twice, turned to look at Yuan Zhao and said, "I didn't expect that there was a bit of blood, the marriage contract he mentioned is the marriage contract with you, right?" ?”

Yuan Zhao didn't answer, but just looked at Yue Huaiyi who was still struggling across the street.When she left the palace, she thought about one thing, if Yue Huaiyi finally left with the person in the palace and agreed to the marriage, she would not be able to marry this person.If he still remembers the agreement with her, still thinks about her in his heart, and refuses to be the princess' son-in-law, he will risk his life and future to keep their agreement.She thinks that someone who can keep the promise with her life is worth it even if she puts down her identity for him.

In fact, when she sat here by herself, she felt uneasy.But she couldn't show it, so as not to be seen as a joke by everyone.

At this moment, seeing Yue Huaiyi who was still desperately lobbying and struggling, he had the mood to answer Ji Xiucheng's words, "Yes, are you satisfied this time?"

"Barely worthy of you." Ji Xiucheng snorted coldly, taking advantage of this kid.

Dong Yingxi had heard about Yuan Zhao's quarrel with Yue Huaiyi a long time ago, and thought that Yue Huaiyi might be Naqiao.Today, seeing his posture of really risking his life, I just came to my senses. This person is really stubborn, and even ten cows would not be able to pull the things he decided on. No wonder Yuan Zhao was in her Hands hit a wall.

"If you do this today, you also have the intention of testing it?" Dong Yingxi looked at Yuan Zhao and asked, otherwise why bother to conceal his identity.

"Yes." Yuan Zhao replied happily, "The man I want to marry cannot be a wimp."

"It does have some integrity, but being a couple with such a person will wear it down in the future." Dong Yingxi looked at Yuan Zhao and said.

"No, he is his own strong bone, and I don't want to expose his arrogance. How can there be disputes?" Now that I figured out that I want to marry a husband instead of recruiting a son-in-law, the things inside are naturally clear. up.

Dong Yingxi was stunned for a moment, and then his face became serious, "Do you understand?" Obviously, he had already thought of what Yuan Zhao would do.

"Yeah." Yuan Zhao replied softly.

Tong Qi was dizzy when he heard it, but he didn't understand what it meant, so he pulled Ji Xiucheng to ask.

Ji Xiucheng glanced at him, and then replied in a low voice, "This is to marry someone."

Tong Qi still didn't understand, so he asked again.

Ji Xiucheng looked at him, "Poor thing, why did you become stupid in reading, go back and let your elder brother enlighten you."

Tong Qi: ...

Yuan Zhao couldn't stay on the second floor any longer, so he turned around and went downstairs.Neither Dong Yingxi nor Ji Xiucheng stopped her. When she left, Ji Xiucheng looked at Dong Yingxi and smiled, "I thought you were here to stop her."

"Who dares to stop Her Majesty's affairs? As I said earlier, I came to watch the fun." Dong Yingxi stood up, "After watching the fun, it's time to go home."

Ji Xiucheng didn't stop him, he was already looking out of the window, and saw Yuan Zhao standing in front of that person, Yue Huaiyi who was still struggling suddenly stopped moving.Seeing Yuan Zhao wave his small hand again, the group grabbed Yue Huaiyi and left.

Ji Xiucheng looked at Tong Qi and said, "Tsk tsk, it's really boring, why did you just take it away like this."

"Then what else do you want?" Tong Qi felt a little pitiful for Yue Huaiyi at the moment, he must have been dumbfounded and terrified at this moment, thinking that the sky had changed.

In a short period of time, it has long been reported in the capital that the princess's son-in-law was caught under the list. Everyone envied how this scholar named Yue Huaiyi had such good luck, and was favored by His Royal Highness the Princess.I don't know how many embarrassments there are for the students who have won the rankings. Why didn't they come across such a good thing?

But when he was arrested and entered the palace, he met the emperor and the prince who were far away in the clouds in a short time. Thanks to Yue Huaiyi's perseverance, he didn't lose his manners in front of the emperor, and the answer in front of the emperor was quite decent.When he saw the prince, he remembered who he was. He knew that this person was difficult to get along with, and he was Yuan Zhao's elder brother, but he never thought that it was their Dajin's prince.

When he got out of the main hall, he saw Yuan Zhao who was waiting for him outside. He walked over in a daze, and Yuan Zhao looked at him.

The spring is just right outside, and the gardeners in the palace are ingenious, and there are already blooming flowers swaying in the wind.Looking at Yuan Zhao again, he is still the same person, but he is not the same person anymore.

"I didn't expect you to be Her Royal Highness the Princess." Yue Huaiyi didn't know what to say, he had a lot to ask in his heart, but he felt that it was meaningless to ask.It doesn't matter if it's a princess or not, Yuan Zhao is still the Yuan Zhao he knows, but the distance between the two is even further.

Yuan Zhao looked at him and went straight to the point, "Let me ask you, why didn't you follow that guard? You didn't know that I was a princess at the time. If you became a son-in-law, you would be able to reach the sky in one step. This is something no one else can ask for." good thing."

After Yue Huaiyi heard the words, it took a long time before he said: "I already have a marriage contract with you. Even though I can't marry you home, I don't plan to marry anyone else."

"You told me clearly that you are going back to your hometown and have nothing to do with me, so what's the use of a marriage contract?"

"...I just need to know if it's useful or not."

"Hmph, in fact, you like me but dare not marry me. You are full of aloofness and arrogance, and you have the stink of a scholar."

Yue Huaiyi pursed his lips, his face was gloomy, "You are right, a person like me has nothing, only a few bones left, you pulled my bones, but I can't even stand on my feet in this world gone."

"Then I'll ask you something, I won't blow your bones, do you want to marry me?"
