Wenxian Hall.

In the examination room.

While Hu Fei was deep in thought, a ringing sound came into his ears.

Immediately afterwards, all the candidates slowly stood up and prepared to hand in their papers and leave.

Hu Fei came back to his senses, glanced around, and originally planned to get up and leave directly, but after thinking of the exam papers as white as snow on the table, he sat down again.

After thinking about it, Hu Fei picked up a pen and wrote a few lines at random after the last test question. Then, like the previous two games, he mixed his own test paper with the test papers of other candidates before and after, and handed it to the person who had already entered the venue to start.

The teaching assistant who sealed the papers.

After doing all this, Hu Fei took a long breath and slowly walked out of the examination room while waving his folding fan.

At this point, he no longer cares about his results, he just wants to wait for what kind of outcome he will face after the Spring Festival is over.

However, after careful consideration, he had already thought of how to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, so his mood was no longer as heavy as when he first arrived, and his face became lighter.

When Princess Anqing and others who were waiting anxiously outside the Wenxian Hall saw Hu Fei walking out of it with a relaxed look, they all gathered around him.

"How about it?"

Princess Anqing opened her big eyes and looked at Hu Fei without blinking, asking expectantly.

"Let's go back to Hong Bin Building first."

Hu Fei smiled and said lightly. After that, he took Princess Anqing's hand and walked straight to the carriage.

"It seems that you did well in the exam. The young master is already planning to go back to celebrate!"

"Xiaowu, hurry up and catch the train."

Pei Jie smiled and shouted to Xiaowu and Chundie to follow them immediately.

At the entrance of the Wenxian Hall, Teng Ziqian stood with several other candidates, looking at Hu Fei leaving in a carriage, each with different expressions.

"It seems that this spring's top pick is already in his pocket."

"Yes, if I were as talented and knowledgeable as someone else, I wouldn't be ridiculed by my father all day long. Let alone the top pick, I wouldn't even be in the top tier. I'm just here to go through the motions."

"The one with him is Princess Anqing, right? I'm so envious. She has both the number one scholar and the consort. Why is there such a big gap between people?"

Several children from the capital's aristocratic families couldn't help but talk about it, all of them looked envious and felt ashamed.

"Even if he wins the top prize this time and becomes the consort, I will still look down on his playboy behavior. It is really a shame for the Ming Dynasty that such a person becomes the top pick!"

Teng Ziqian gritted his teeth, stared at the carriage going further away, and said unwillingly.

But after hearing what he said, the people next to him shook their heads in unison, showing a look of scorn.

...

Hong Bin Building.

backyard.

"Master, I'm going to ask the front hall to prepare wine and food, so we can have a good celebration."

As soon as he entered the door, Pei Jie said excitedly and walked to the front hall before he finished speaking.

"You can celebrate in the backyard and help me clear the second floor of the front hall. I want to be alone with the princess."

Hu Fei glanced at Pei Jie and said loudly.

"Okay, Master."

Pei Jie agreed and quickly ran to the front hall.

Hu Fei ignored Chundie and Xiao Wu, took Princess Anqing's hand, and walked straight to the front hall.

Chundie and Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the main hall of the backyard while looking at the backs of Hu Fei and Princess Anqing with expressions of relief on their faces. They couldn't help but feel happy for the young master.

Soon, Pei Jie had made arrangements, not only setting up the kitchen, but also clearing out the second floor for Hu Fei.

Hu Fei took Princess Anqing slowly up to the second floor and entered a private room facing the street.

Looking at Hu Fei, who was alone in a box with her, a blush slowly appeared on Princess Anqing's face, and she sat down on one of the chairs shyly.

But Hu Fei did not sit down immediately, but slowly walked to the window, with his hands behind his back, looking out the window, but never spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Princess Anqing waited for a long time and finally realized that something was wrong with Hu Fei, so she couldn't help but ask softly.

"I have something to confess to you."

Hu Fei turned around, looked at Princess Anqing, and said seriously.

Seeing that Hu Fei suddenly became serious, Princess Anqing was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but stood up slowly and looked at Hu Fei nervously, wondering what Hu Fei was going to say to her.

"I never thought about participating in this Spring Festival. Although His Majesty personally ordered me to participate, I did not take it seriously."

"I got almost all the three exams with blank papers. His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to come to the palace yesterday for this very reason."

Hu Fei looked at Princess Anqing and said sincerely.

After hearing what Hu Fei said, Princess Anqing, who was originally nervous, was stunned for a moment. She looked at Hu Fei in surprise and was speechless for a moment.

After three exams, she didn't find any clues and always thought that Hu Fei performed well in every game.

"I'm sorry for telling you this so late."

"But you are the first person besides His Royal Highness to know."

"I know that you hope that I will win the first place in this spring, win the first prize in one fell swoop, and then make your Majesty promise that we will get married as soon as possible."

"But becoming an official is not what I want. No matter which one of the six films it is, I don't want to join. I have my own plans, but I can't tell you what they are."

"Everyone thinks that I will win the first prize, and many people also hope that I will win the first prize, but that is not my wish. I don't want to live for others."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Hu Fei looked at Princess Anqing and spoke eloquently, with a trace of seriousness on his face that he had never seen before.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Princess Anqing quietly, waiting for Princess Anqing to complain, blame, or even walk away. No matter what Princess Anqing's reaction was, he was willing to accept it.

But at this moment, Princess Anqing, who was originally surprised and dumbfounded, suddenly laughed, so sincerely that tears came to her eyes.

"Who told you I was disappointed?"

"I've said it a long time ago, I don't care whether you are the top scholar or not, whether you have an official position or not."

"Even if you are not even the Tao Mo of the Governor's Mansion now, even if you are not the God of Poetry, even if you are not someone who is valued in the eyes of my father and brother."

"Even if you are not the son of the prime minister, even if you are still the most arrogant and arrogant dude in the capital, I don't care."

"The only thing I care about is you. The only thing I care about is whether you are happy or not. Everything else is unimportant!"

"So, I am not disappointed, not before, not now, and never in the future."

Princess Anqing looked at Hu Fei, with tears in her eyes, and spoke word by word, every word clear and every sentence sincere.

After hearing what Princess Anqing said, Hu Fei felt as if he had received a heavy blow in his heart. He almost broke his guard. He couldn't help but rushed to Princess Anqing and hugged her tightly.

Hug.

At this moment, he felt a sense of worth that he had never experienced before. He was glad that he came to this world and that he met such a good woman.

"sorry."

Tang Bing hugged Princess Anqing tightly and apologized again, and the stone in his heart finally fell.

"No, I am the one who should be sorry. I should not impose such a hope on you. My father ordered you to participate in the Spring Festival, and I am also responsible."

"Forgive me, and thank you for being the first to tell me this."

Princess Anqing shook her head and choked out her words. A tear slowly slipped from the corner of her eyes, her eyes full of love.

Tang Bing said nothing more, kissed Princess Anqing's forehead gently, and hugged her tightly again.

The two of them cuddled together tightly like this, as if they had forgotten time and everything.

At this moment, Hu Fei finally understood why he was attracted to her when he first saw her.

There are not so many reasons to love someone, so sometimes, all it takes is one glance.

One glance at this will last for thousands of years.

...

Wenxian Hall.

Review room.

A group of invigilators were busy marking Chunwei's third exam paper, and the teaching assistants were busy assisting them.

However, there was a person walking back and forth between the various invigilators, asking questions constantly.

This person is Xue Ru.

"Have you seen the exam papers for Marquis Jiu'an?"

Xue Ru asked in a low voice while walking among the examiners, looking anxious.

"here!"

At this moment, one of the invigilators suddenly waved his hand and said loudly.

But then, the invigilator's face couldn't help but change, revealing a hint of panic.

When Xue Ru heard the shouting, he hurried over, took the exam paper, and looked down.

Immediately afterwards, even Xue Ru's expression changed dramatically...
