Chapter 170
Besides, Du Yuan, he may be regarded as the most low-key number one scholar in history.Behind him were many sons of rich families. These people had already made good connections before the exam, so many ministers in the current dynasty had already searched for the talents they wanted in advance.Only Du Yuan really keeps his ears shut and only reads the books of sages and sages.Since he was No.1 on the list, and then he was hand-picked by the emperor as the champion, there are even some people who don't know his identity at all.

But this does not include Xiao Xuanyun and He Lianfeng, they have already found out about Du Yuan's net worth by taking advantage of knowing Mu Qiu.

"My lord, that champion man happens to be Miss Mu Qiu's friend, why don't you take this opportunity to draw him into your camp?"

"Don't worry, this person has a meticulous mind, so being too impatient will ruin the event." After finishing speaking, Xiao Xuanyun asked, "Where is Mu Qiu at the moment?"

"Miss Mu Qiu entered the palace early in the morning, so she should be at the empress's place at this time."

"It's just right, it's time for the king to pay a visit to the emperor's wife!"

The meeting between Mu Qiu and Xiao Xuanyun was said to be accidental but inevitable.She had just come out from the Queen's place, and was planning to leave the palace to find Du Yuan, but this was the only way to leave the palace, so Mu Qiu was not particularly surprised.

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Heng!"

"You are still so polite to me, when will you not be so polite?" Xiao Xuanyun said with a little disappointment.

Seeing his sad expression, Mu Qiu wondered if he had gone too far.In any case, I have seen it so many times. As a prince, he has never put on airs. It seems that it is really not good for him to deliberately alienate others like this all the time.In order to ease the atmosphere, she replied half-jokingly: "If I'm not polite, the prince will have a headache even more."

"Then I'm looking forward to it." Xiao Xuanyun's tone became a little lighter: "Are you in such a hurry to leave the palace?"

"That's right, the tasks that the emperor arranged for me have almost been completed, and there are still some things that I need to be busy with at the evening banquet, so I thought about going back first and entering the palace at night."

"Isn't it troublesome to go back and forth like this? You can go to Xingchen Pavilion to rest!"

"Forget it, I..."

"I've seen the prince!" The voice of the maid saluting interrupted Mu Qiu's words, and the two of them looked back, just in time to see He Lianfeng walking towards this side.

Compared with Xiao Xuanyun, Mu Qiu is obviously more familiar with He Lianfeng.Although the outside world reported that the regent was a little scary, but because of the impression left by "He Feng" at the beginning, Mu Qiu didn't feel that there was anything scary about him.

"Helian! You also entered the palace?"

"Well, you're going back? I just happened to see you off."

"Ah? Aren't you going to see the empress?"

"No, I just came here when I heard your voice. It just so happens that I'm done with my work, do you want to go out of the palace together?"

Only then did Mu Qiu think of Xiao Xuanyun: "My lord, go get busy if you have something to do, I'll go back first!"

Mu Qiu turned around and left, leaving only a back that gradually drifted away, Xiao Xuanyun looked at He Lianfeng who was walking side by side with her, and felt uncomfortable for no reason.He tightly clenched his hands into a fist, staring at Mu Qiu's back with a gloomy expression.

Although He Lianfeng's mansion is a bit far away from Li's house, it doesn't prevent him from sending Mu Qiu to his house, and then he walked around before returning to his own house.

Although he won the first prize, Mu Qiu really admired Du Yuan's unfazed appearance.He also wanted to attend the banquet in the evening, so Mu Qiu told him some things to pay attention to.

The young talents at the banquet were all the pillars of Beizhao Kingdom, so all the court ladies who came in and out of the banquet were all pink-faced, so they had to take a few more glances.Because only Xinke Scholars and Ministers of the court attended the banquet, Mu Qiu did not appear at the banquet. She is mainly responsible for the drinks this time, and it is enough to manage the behind-the-scenes.

The emperor promised her that if the wine was well received by everyone, he might reward her with some money.Mu Qiu just took a fancy to the emperor as a real person, otherwise those jars of wine would never have been given to him for nothing.
