Chapter 142 Like the Prince
"Why are you shy? Do you want to enter the palace and become the Crown Princess?" Qin poked Li Tangluo's forehead.
Li Tangluo's cheeks turned even redder. She had seen the prince in the examination room that day and was in love with him at first sight.
The prince is not only androgynous and extremely handsome, but he is also the future king.
If she marries him and becomes the Crown Princess, she will be the future Queen!
Qin looked at Li Tangluo's blushing cheeks and said, "Luo'er, everything depends on human effort. Although our family background is ordinary, as long as we are willing to work hard, we will have a chance. When you become a female official, mother will teach you how to keep a man's heart!"
"Mom, you're so annoying!" Li Tangluo covered her face shyly and ran out.
......
After Chu Li finished his breakfast, he packed up his things and prepared to leave the inn.
Suddenly she sneezed twice.
She rubbed her nose. It seemed that someone was either thinking about her or scolding her!
Anyway, the Imperial Examination was finally passed safely, and the next one was the Palace Examination which had little to do with her.
On the way back to the East Palace, she asked Huanyan, "How is the Li family doing?"
Huanyan replied, "I had someone sneak into the Li family at night and found that the head of the Li family had disappeared. Qin went to the Ministry of Rites to report that Li Jinglan had run away from home, so the Ministry of Rites has already selected Li Tangluo as a substitute candidate for the palace examination."
Chu Li analyzed, "It seems that the head of the Li family has been imprisoned by the Qin family."
"What a vicious woman! She is willing to take risks for her daughter." Huanyan was a little angry. If she had known this would happen, she should have kicked her harder.
Chu Li suddenly thought of something. She looked at Huan Yan and said, "Go investigate Qin's company."
"Yes, master."
"How are Li Jinglan and her maid?"
"The maid named Qingzhu needs to slowly recuperate. The two of them are living in a private residence. Miss Li has not been affected too much and is studying hard to prepare for the palace examination."
Chu Li smiled with relief. Li Jinglan was a woman with great tenacity.
I wish she could snap out of it so quickly.
Chu Li suddenly caught a glimpse of Ye Hanting coming out of the inn. She immediately lowered the curtain and urged Kong Wu.
"Quick, go back to the palace."
Huanyan was a little surprised. What happened to the master?
When he saw Master Ye, his expression suddenly changed.
Did something happen between the two of them last night?
Chu Li greeted Ye Hanting confidently and generously in the morning, but that was just her disguise.
She still felt awkward when she saw Ye Hanting again, after all, they really kissed.
Even though she didn't know who the man was when she did that last time, she didn't feel embarrassed.
However, Ye Hanting and she were both quite sober that day. The kiss was a kiss, and they both knew it very well.
As long as they looked into each other's eyes, they would think of that thing.
Anyway, recently, she felt embarrassed whenever she saw Ye Hanting.
It’s better to be rare.
When Ye Hanting saw Chu Li saw him, he left as quickly as an arrow.
He felt a little disappointed. Could it be that Chu Li was so unwilling to face what happened yesterday?
It was just an accident.
It turns out that Chu Li is so averse to being intimate with him.
After he got on the carriage, Chi Yan came over and asked, "Master, Miss Wanying won first place in the women's examination this time. Even if it's inconvenient for you to see her, you should at least give her a gift to show your friendship as we grew up together, right?"
Ye Hanting said sternly, "Chi Yan, if you like her, go and give her away."
Chi Yan was humiliated. He had not yet fallen in love and had no woman he liked.
He doesn't like Yun Wanying either, and he does all this just to win his master back!
"Master, Miss Yun is actually quite good. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also proficient in poetry and songs. How wonderful!"
Ye Hanting was upset because of Chu Li's affairs, and when he heard about Yun Wanying, he felt a headache.
He said in a cold voice: "Chi Yan, if you mess around with couples again, go back to protect the old lady and don't follow me!"
Chi Yan instantly turned into a pitiful puppy, "I don't dare anymore, I want to follow my master!"
Ye Hanting closed his eyes and listened to Lan Yi say, "Master, you have found some new clues in your investigation."
Ye Hanting's eyes lit up, and Chi Yan's expression also became serious as he listened to Lan Yi speak.
......
The palace examination came soon and was divided into two days.
The first day was the palace examination for three female candidates, and the second day was for men.
Yun Wanying was dressed in red, dressed up and sat in her seat.
Xia Nishang was dressed simply and elegantly and sat next to her.
Li Tangluo was wearing a delicate pink dress and had exquisite makeup, she was very lovely.
Emperor Qingyuan felt indescribably comfortable looking at the three beauties, each with their own unique characteristics.
Most of the women in his palace were old and ugly, and even those who were a little pretty were vulgar.
There are also some that simply cannot be let go and can be said to be completely uninteresting.
He liked a woman like Xia Nishang who was well-educated, sensible and had a good sense of romance, even if they didn't have sex in private.
There's more to a man and a woman than just what happens in bed. For him, he's no longer interested after they've slept together.
He just likes that kind of pulling and heart-wrenching feeling.
Xia Nishang has such charm that he can't stop.
His gaze turned to Yun Wanying again. This girl was indeed very beautiful. The more aloof and beautiful she was, the more irresistible she made people want to be with her.
Challenging women like this are the most interesting to men.
His eyes finally fell on Li Tangluo's face. Her beautiful eyes were very alluring, and her face still had the shyness of a young girl.
A woman like this is easy to conquer, but may be less interesting, but fortunately she has good literary talent and is young enough, making her suitable for an affair in the imperial study.
The three beauties made Emperor Qingyuan feel itchy.
After all, he was an emperor, so of course he hid the dirty thoughts in his heart very well.
He looked at the three people with a serious expression, full of imperial aura, and then waved to the people from the Ministry of Rites.
Li Tangluo was excited. Look, the exam is about to begin. This is Li Jinglan’s fate!
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been outshined by Li Jinglan. Their husbands always say that Li Jinglan is hardworking and talented.
So what? She is the one taking part in the palace examination now!
And Li Jinglan will always be a loser!
Yun Wanying prides herself on being talented, and ever since Ye Hanting won three first places in a row, she has worked even harder.
She thought about standing side by side with Ye Hanting one day.
She glanced confidently at Ye Hanting who was sitting in the hall.
She has already ranked first among the women in the imperial examination. She will definitely take the top spot in this palace examination and work in the court with Brother Han Ting!
Xia Nishang waited calmly for the papers to be distributed. All she did was to repay her master's kindness. Acting according to the circumstances was what she was best at.
In order to find out the truth, she was willing to be her master's best chess piece.
The people from the Ministry of Rites were preparing to distribute the test papers to the three people.
Suddenly, Chu Li's voice sounded in the hall.
"Father, I have something to report!"
