“Huh?” Li Xiaoran didn’t expect Luo Cheng to say this.
“You have the Midas touch! Li Xiaoran, you’re so impressive today. You inspired two people at once!” Luo Cheng said meaningfully.
Li Xiaoran shrugged, indicating that she had not done anything in particular.
That night, many people slept peacefully.
No one knew that after this night, a new round of changes would happen in the capital.
This round of changes was actually started by Li Xiaoran.
The next day, the emperor gave an imperial decree that all the scholars for this year’s imperial examination had to stay for longer.
Some people were happy, some were worried, and some were panicking.
At this moment, Qi Fei and Ai Mingze were gathered in a room while discussing something.
“What’s going on? Why did the emperor suddenly issue a decree to keep all the scholars in the capital? It’s been a long time since the imperial examination. Why haven’t the rankings been announced yet?” Ai Mingze said anxiously.
“Don’t panic! The more flustered you are, the more likely you will mess up. Calm down, please calm down!” Qi Fei wasn’t flustered at all.
What was done was done. The rest was up to fate.
Besides, their movements were very discreet this time. Even Pei Xuanxin didn’t notice anything.
As long as they didnt panic, they would definitely be fine.
After the imperial decree was announced, the imperial rankings for the imperial examination were released that afternoon.
Pei Xuanxin, who had received the news, also came to the imperial ranking list to see his ranking.
Although he was confident, Pei Xuanxin still looked up starting from the last place.
Pei Xuanxin finally found his ranking.
He was actually ranked seventh.
After seeing this outcome, Pei Xuanxin was finally relieved.
He had studied hard and his hard work finally paid off.
Thinking of this, Pei Xuanxin wished he could return to his hometown immediately and tell his old mother that he had passed.
Qi Fei and Ai Mingze were also looking at the rankings. Although the two of them had Pei Xuanxin’s help and had entered the rankings, their rankings were very low.
Even so, the two of them were very happy.
For the two of them, the ranking wasn’t important. It was fine as long as they entered the Ranking List of Scholars!
On this day, some were happy, some were sad, and some were crying. Li Yan finally found the Seventh Prince’s residence, but unfortunately, it was empty. She couldn’t even enter.
She had just dragged her tired body back when she saw Pei Xuanxin return with a happy expression.
“Li Xiaoran, I passed! I’m ranked seventh! ”
In the past, Li Yan would definitely be very happy, but at this moment, she could only force a smile.
“Congratulations, husband! Are you still going to participate in the palace examination?”
Pei Xuanxin was very happy. At this moment, he didn’t notice Li Yan’s forced smile and was still immersed in the joy of passing his examination.
“That’s right. The palace examination will be held in three days! The difference is that everyone on the scholar rankings will participate in the palace examination this time. I wonder how the emperor will test us! I hope I can pass the palace examination with flying colors. Only then can I have a better official career!”
“Then you should rest well for a few days so you can perform well on the palace examination!” Li Yan finally came back to her senses and encouraged him.
Now that it was impossible for her to find the Seventh Prince, she could only hold onto Pei Xuanxin.
Li Yan, who had finally recovered from her obsession, became smarter now.
Pei Xuanxin nodded, indicating that he would definitely work hard and let Li Yan live a good life in the future.
After Pei Xuanxin obtained such a good ranking, he naturally thought of Qi Fei and Ai Mingze, who had come to participate in the examination together.
When he heard that the two of them had passed the examination, Pei Xuanxin was also happy for them, so he asked the two of them out to a restaurant to celebrate.
At this moment, Luo Cheng had also obtained the news that Pei Xuanxin got seventh place on the examination. Thinking of what Li Yan had said previously, Luo Cheng smiled. It seemed that what Li Yan said was true.
But so what?
Everything had changed!
Li Xiaoran was already his wife, and Pei Xuanxin had married Li Yan.
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng ignored this news and got busy.
While everyone’s attention was on the examination, Luo Cheng began his counterattack plan.
At the same time, in a quiet house, a man was sitting in the main hall with wine and some side dishes, as if he was waiting for someone.
It didn’t take long for a figure to jump off the wall and appear in front of the man.
“Seventh Brother, I knew you would definitely be fine!” Ling Heng smiled when he saw Luo Cheng appear in front of him.
“Since you invited me, I naturally won’t refuse! I heard that you were sent by my father to deal with the sea transportation in Jiangnan a few months ago. Since you’re back today. It seems that the matters over there have been settled!” Luo Cheng sat down with a smile and poured himself a glass of wine.
Ling Heng nodded and said, “Actually, I didn’t do anything! Seventh Brother, you know that it’s very difficult to take action against the shipping industry now!”
Luo Cheng nodded. “Then let’s not talk about these unhappy things. We should catch up and relax instead of talking about these annoying things!” Ling Heng nodded and raised his glass.
The buddies ignored everything else and only talked about brotherhood.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran also went to the liveliest teahouse nearby in disguise.
Coincidentally, Pei Xuanxin, Qi Fei, and Ai Mingze were also in the private room of this teahouse.
Li Xiaoran had just entered the private room and ordered refreshments when she heard a man’s voice coming from the private room next door.
“Brother pei! Why didn’t your wife come here to celebrate with you today?” Qi Fei asked aloofly.
“My wife isn’t feeling well today. She’s been tired from taking care of me recently, so I let her rest at home!” Pei Xuanxin replied with a smile.
“Your wife has indeed worked hard!” Qi Fei said with a smile.
Ai Mingze thought of something and reminded him with a smile, “By the way heard that Madam and the Seventh Prince’s consort are from the same famil’ and theyre cousins. I wonder when you’ll visit the Seventh Prince? If you manage to get close to the Seventh Prince, don’t forget us! ”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
She forgot that Li Yan followed Pei Xuanxin to the capital to participate in the examination! She had been so busy recently that she forgot about this!”
