Chapter 546 Chen Mo: I Hope Your Highness Will Not Blame Me

Only about a month has passed since the decree was issued to resume the imperial examination. More than 3,000 people have come to Luonan to apply for the examination. In fact, this number is quite high.

After all, before it was still the cold winter season, more than 3,000 people came to take the exam despite the cold. Now that spring has begun and the weather has warmed up, there will be more people coming to take the exam.

However, Lu Sheng was obviously not so easy to fool, and said in a cold tone: "Stop fooling me with these words, how much?"

The official surnamed Jia glanced around, then raised his hands and whispered: "There are only more than 800 people back in the prime minister's country."

"More than eight hundred people."

Lu Sheng showed a self-deprecating smile and said immediately: "Among these people, how many nobles from the three states applied for the exam?"

"Less than 10%, some of them are branches of the clan and concubines." said the official surnamed Jia.

In response to this, Lu Sheng immediately snorted and said: "Sooner or later, a bunch of blood-sucking moths, Prime Minister Country will have to settle accounts with them."

…

the other side.

Xiangyang City, Tongque Garden.

Chen Mo thought Xiao Yunxi was going to say something to him, but he didn't expect that she would bring him to Tongqueyuan and say that Princess Zhaoqing missed him.

In the carriage outside the gate, Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yunxi with warm eyes and said, "She really misses me, and is it not Yunxi who made the decision on her own?"

"How can I deceive you, my husband?" Xiao Yunxi took away Chen Mo's mischievous hand, her rosy cheeks flushed like pink, and said, "Come back later, concubine. Go ahead and let her get ready."

With that said, Xiao Yunxi straightened her clothes, got off the carriage and walked towards Tongque Garden.

Chen Mo listened to her words and did not follow her.

In fact, in his heart, he didn't care whether she made the decision on her own. Anyway, since Princess Zhaoqing lives in Tongque Garden, she always wants to eat.

It’s just that Chen Mo has never had time. Now that Yun Xi has arranged everything, it’s better to choose a day than to hit it.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he felt that it was almost done, so Chen Mo also got off the carriage and walked towards Tongque Garden.

…

Outside the courtyard of Princess Zhaoqing Chu Ran.

"Everything is ready. Husband, just push the door open and go in later." Xiao Yunxi saw Chen Mo coming and stepped forward to greet him.

Chen Mo looked at the beauty with a rosy face and concluded in his heart that she must be hiding something from him. However, he did not choose to break the casserole and ask the truth. Instead, he hugged the beauty's plump waist and whispered to her. With exclamations, he led her towards the courtyard: "Yun Xi, since you are here, let's go in together."

"Ah, husband, I don't want it." Xiao Yunxi was a little panicked, because she had just coaxed Chu Ran to take a bath and said that she would take her to a dinner party to meet Chen Mo. Now that she is going in with Chen Mo, wouldn't she be telling her face to face that I lied to you? .

Although Xiao Yunxi was lying to her, at least there had to be a period of relaxation in the middle.

"What don't you want? It just so happens that Yun Xi, you and Princess Zhaoqing are relatively familiar with each other. With you by your side, you can ease the atmosphere and make it less awkward." Chen Mo couldn't help but hugged her and came outside Chu Ran's room.

What lightens the mood?

Xiao Yunxi didn't know what bad idea Chen Mo had, didn't he just want to serve him together with Princess Zhaoqing?

Just when she was about to find an excuse to refuse, Chen Mo directly opened the door of the wing.

Behind the screen in the room, Chu Ran was taking a bath.

As a princess of the Song Dynasty, Chu Ran's face was graceful and gorgeous, and she also had the charm of a wife. Under the steaming heat, her moist face became densely covered with rose-red aura.

At this moment, she took off all her clothes and hung them on the screen. She picked up a ball of warm water and poured it on her collarbone, making the already fair skin become breakable.

Thinking about the dinner party in the evening, it was time for him to serve that person.

She lowered her head and glanced at her proud figure. Under the curved willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes seemed to catch a trace of charming light. She held her hand in the water, and a trace of light suddenly appeared between her graceful and bright eyebrows. A hint of shame.

Maybe she was too immersed in it, so she didn't hear the footsteps outside the house. It wasn't until the sound of the door opening that Chu Ran was startled. She quickly crossed her arms to her chest, shrank into the water, and looked in the direction of the door. , said softly: "Aunt, are you you?"

There was no reply from the other side of the door.

Chu Ran suddenly felt something was wrong, because she heard the footsteps of more than one person.

She turned pale and said, "Who is it?"

The sound of the bead curtain sounded, and footsteps came to the back room.

"Don't come over here. Come over to me again. I'm calling someone, come over."

"Your Highness, it's me."

Just when Chu Ran was about to yell, Xiao Yunxi quickly held back the shame in her heart and spoke.

There is no choice but to face it.

"Auntie." Chu Ran didn't relax and said immediately, "Why don't you knock on the door? Is there anyone else next to you?"

"Dong An Guo is here too," Xiao Yunxi said.

"ah?"

Chu Ran's head suddenly buzzed, and before she could react, two figures had already walked around behind the screen and appeared in front of her.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I lied to you," Xiao Yunxi bit her lip and said with a guilty look on her face.

Afterwards, in order to reduce the guilt in her heart, she added: "Your Highness, you are ready anyway, and you are the same now."

"Yun Xi, this seems to be different from what you said." Chen Mo said with a smile and pinched Xiao Yunxi's plump waist.

"Don't look."

After Chu Ran looked up at Chen Mo, she quickly lowered her head and covered her body as much as possible. When she first came to Xiangyang, she had caught a glimpse of Chen Mo outside the parade ground. She didn't see him clearly at that time. Now they met at close range, and the two figures overlapped.

Her graceful and plump face was now as red as smoke, like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite.

"I'll go. Close the door." Xiao Yunxi still wanted to escape.

"I closed it when I just came in. It's only been a short while, and you forgot it." Chen Mo's hand around her waist did not loosen.

"Today, your highness is serving you. It's not appropriate for me to be here. Next time, next time, I will definitely do it." Xiao Yunxi said with a little cry.

But the young man didn't seem to care about her embarrassment at all. Instead, he opened his hands to both sides and said to Xiao Yunxi: "It just so happens that I haven't bathed yet. Yunxi, undress for me."

"Ah?!"

Two screams rang out, one from Xiao Yunxi, and the other one was naturally from Chu Ran.

Chu Ran slowly raised her head, as if to confirm whether what Chen Mo said was true.

Chen Mo looked into her eyes and said, "I wanted to meet Your Highness before, but I didn't expect to meet the Jinxia barbarians going south. This time when I came back, I was busy and didn't have time. I hope Your Highness won't blame me."
