Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 161

Lu Nanzhi was about to walk over, but Shen Lanze ran over before her.

"How was the test?"

"not bad."

Shen Lanze has confidence in his own strength, he must win the new champion, so that he can be worthy of such a good woman as Nanzhi.

"I made you a rich meal, and we will eat and chat when we go back."

Looking at his enthusiastic expression, Lu Nanzhi pulled a cheerful smile from the corner of his mouth.

"Miss Lu, please stay." A familiar voice came from behind.

Lu Nanzhi turned his head and saw Xiao Mengying coming with the maid, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Jiang Ziqi and Ye Jinran looked at her more vigilantly, treating her as an enemy.

"Miss Lu, do you still remember what I said?" Xiao Mengying had an indifferent smile on her face.

Lu Nanzhi pursed his lips slightly, unexpectedly she found her again.

Xiao Mengying continued: "Thank you, Miss Lu, for your success. I will definitely invite you to the wedding banquet on the day when Mr. Shen and I get married."

This sentence seemed to be threatening Lu Nanzhi, but it was a bit domineering and tough.

"Returning the princess, the skin is thicker than the city wall, openly snatching other people's husbands in public." Jiang Ziqi glared at her with disdain in his eyes.

"This princess likes to meddle in other people's feelings. What can you do to me?" Xiao Mengying looked at him provocatively, and then shifted her gaze to Lu Nanzhi, "Why, is Miss Lu afraid?"

Lu Nanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, with a gentle smile on his face: "What do you want?"

A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Mengying's face: "This princess hopes that you can retreat in spite of difficulties, and don't make things too ugly, lest you be ridiculed."

"Who will be ridiculed? The customs of Beiling Kingdom really opened our eyes." Ye Jinran sneered. .

Jiang Ziqi echoed, "That's right, I thought Beiling's people were simple and honest, but I didn't expect it to be so shameless."

The tone of the two of them was very unpleasant, and they didn't give Xiao Mengying any face at all.

Lu Nanzhi stood by the side without saying a word.

Xiao Mengying sneered: "If my princess wants you two to disappear today, will you be able to escape?"

"What an arrogant tone, princess, don't forget, this is the city of my kingdom." Shen Lanze kindly reminded.

Xiao Mengying sneered, and her eyes fell on Shen Lanze, "So what, do you think we will be afraid of you?"

"My Highness advises the princess not to act rashly. If the emperor of the United States really valued you as a princess, he would not let you stay here for so long."

Jun Moyu walked out of the crowd with an umbrella in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips.

Xiao Mengying was not angry because of his words, her expression was still so calm, "Yes, but if something happens to this princess, it will definitely provoke a war between the two countries. I believe your emperor will definitely not want to fight again."

"Why should the princess hurt both sides? She's just a man." Jun Moyu persuaded.

Xiao Mengying glanced at them, raised her finger to Shen Lanze, and said firmly, "I only want him alone, and this son-in-law can only be him."

After leaving these words, Xiao Mengying walked past the crowd.

A good celebration made everyone eat absent-mindedly, Jiang Ziqi swallowed, and couldn't help but said: "That princess won't come for real."

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, Brother Shen doesn't like princesses at all." Ye Jinran put down his chopsticks and took up the topic.

Lu Nanzhi never opened his mouth, and was a little worried in his heart. If the emperor issued an imperial edict, why would Shen Lanze not obey?Do you want him to disrespect his will and cause death?This is not the result she wanted.

With such a mood in mind, Lu Nanzhi waited until the day when the rankings were released.

On the same day, the capital posted the results of this year's imperial examination, and Lu Nanzhi squeezed into the crowd to look at the list ahead.

"The champion of the new division, Shen Lanze!"

"I hit it, I hit it."

Lu Nanzhi was ecstatic and clenched his fists tightly.

In the main hall, the top three were announced into the hall to have an audience.

When everyone saw the three people walking slowly, they began to whisper, and when they saw the person walking in the front, they always felt a little familiar.

The emperor was also taken aback when he saw the champion of the new division, it was indeed familiar.

"Caomin Shen Lanze, Caomin Su Changyu, Caomin Xu Beiting, join the emperor, long live my emperor." The three knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The emperor stood up abruptly from the dragon chair, and walked down step by step in shock.

The other ministers even whispered: "Shen Lanze? Could it be that the son of heaven, the grandson of Shen Taifu, Shen Lanze?"

"No wonder he looks familiar."

"It really is a dragon and a phoenix among people."

Ji Mingcheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, snorted coldly: "The son of a criminal minister is also worthy to appear in the court."

"That's right. At the time, the Taifu's family had a great reputation, but it's a pity that they were killed for treason, leaving only a single seedling."

"Are you the number one scholar in this new discipline?" The emperor stopped in front of Shen Lanze, staring at him with his lingering eyes.

Shen Lanze lowered his eyes, covered the expression in his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "It's the grass people."

The ministers couldn't understand the emperor's mind, and they all stood in place without daring to breathe.

The emperor withdrew his gaze, and opened his thin lips lightly, "Congratulations to the three of you on the gold list, and three glasses of wine."

After finishing speaking, the eunuch beside the emperor immediately walked up to them with three glasses of wine.

The three took the wine glasses and knelt down to thank them.

"Zhen, I will hold a banquet for you at the Beichen Hall tonight, all courtiers can bring their families along with them."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar, bowing their heads and whispering.

What does the emperor mean by doing this?Do you want to choose a son-in-law?

Shen Lanze lowered his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When they came out of the main hall, all the ministers congratulated Su Changyu and Xu Beiting, but they ignored Shen Lanze, the new champion, and they didn't dare to win over the son of a guilty minister.

When the courtiers dispersed and there were only three people left, Su Changyu nodded slightly to the two and left first.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen." Xu Beiting took a step forward and said.

Shen Lanze sneered, "I underestimated you, Mr. Xu is really capable, it seems that you have made a choice."

"What? Mr. Shen, even the son of a criminal minister can become a new scholar. Why can't I, an inconspicuous scholar, be able to become this year's candidate?" Xu Beiting raised his lips proudly.

He didn't believe that Shen Lanze could overwhelm him in everything.

"Mr. Xu has already made a choice, so I won't talk too much, I hope you can do it yourself." Shen Lanze didn't talk to him anymore, for this kind of person who doesn't like oil and salt, talking too much is like nonsense.

I just hope he doesn't regret his choice today!

Xu Beiting looked at the people who got into the carriage, his eyes gradually became darker.

When Shen Lanze returned to Lu's house, the whole mansion was full of joy, with red silk hanging everywhere, and those who didn't know thought who was going to get married.

"Welcome our No. [-] scholar."

When Lu Nanzhi saw the people coming back, he took out firecrackers and lit them, and the crackling sound of firecrackers kept ringing.
