Hearing this, the emperor looked sideways slightly. Xu Huaiqing's temperament had already attracted him before. Unexpectedly, the answer sheet he handed over was even more satisfactory to him.

"Are the opinions you put forward in the test paper a classic, or are you your own thoughts?" The emperor raised his chin with interest.

"Your Majesty, what is written in the student's essay is all his own thoughts, and there are no allusions to be found."

The emperor nodded slightly, he got up from the dragon chair and walked to Xu Huaiqing's side.

Seeing the emperor's actions, the eyes of all the ministers present widened. In the previous palace examination, even if it was the champion appointed by the emperor, it was not like now, and the emperor walked off the dragon chair regardless of his identity.

"I declare now that you are the champion of this palace examination." In front of everyone, the emperor announced without hesitation, "Your insights in the article are deeply impressive, so I will promote you to the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, I hope you will not live up to my hard work." ”

The news that Xu Huaiqing won the champion soon spread, and for a while, the Xu family was in the limelight and became the target of many people.

When the Bai family heard about this, Old Man Bai and Bai. Meng Ting's face became extremely ugly. Their father and daughter originally wanted to design to get rid of the Han family in order to solve their own troubles. But he never thought about it, but instead of eradicating it, he also let them climb to the prime minister.

Now that Xu Huaiqing is a high school champion again, he has been greatly praised by the emperor, and those who are a little more active can see that the emperor wants to promote him to the throne.

I'm afraid that the situation of the Bai family will become more difficult in the future.

During the time when Xu Huaiqing entered the palace to participate in the palace examination, Bai Jiujiu never went out. She silently prayed for Xu Huaiqing at home, hoping that he would be able to go to high school.

Xu Huaiqing, who won the top prize, returned home and saw that Bai Jiujiu was not greeted at the door, so he had already guessed that she must have been waiting at home all along, and he didn't know the news of his high school.

Thinking of this, Xu Huaiqing's heart arose with the idea of teasing Bai Jiujiu.

"Xu Gongzi, congratulations on your high school champion, when you will soar in the future, don't forget us." In front of Xu's house, those who heard the news of Xu Huaiqing's high school came one after another to congratulate him.

At this time, Xu Huaiqing just wanted to see Bai Jiujiu as soon as possible, and had no intention of dealing with these people in front of the door, "Everyone, please go back, I am tired of the temple test today, and I want to rest and rest." Tomorrow I will set up a banquet for everyone to gather at the house. ”

Hearing this, everyone had no choice but to leave. Xu Huaiqing breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and entered the house.

Hearing the sound of the door, Bai Jiujiu immediately ran out of the room. But when she saw Xu Huaiqing standing in front of and behind the door with a solemn face, her steps paused, and she opened her mouth sneeringly, not knowing what to say, she didn't even dare to ask about the results of the palace test. for fear that it would stimulate Xu Huaiqing.

Seeing the expression on Bai Jiujiu's face, Xu Huaiqing's heart softened. Soft, forcibly pressed down the corners of his mouth, and he deliberately made his face look very low.

"Huaiqing, you...... You might as well go to your room and rest first. Bai Jiujiu hesitated for a long time before he held back such a sentence.

Walking to Bai Jiujiu's side, Xu Huaiqing stretched out his hand and gently hugged her, "Jiujiu, I'm sorry." ”

A man's burning breath came from his shoulder, and Bai Jiujiu hugged the other party back, "Why do you want to apologize to me?" I've seen all your efforts, it's okay, it's good to be able to enter the palace exam......"

"I'm sorry, I won the top prize."

When Bai Jiujiu reacted, his voice stopped abruptly. Her eyes widened in surprise, wondering if something was wrong with her ears.

"Huaiqing, what did you just say, can you say it again?" Bai Jiujiu's eyes stared at Xu Huaiqing tightly and asked.

Seeing this, Xu Huaiqing couldn't hold back any longer, and Lang laughed, "Jiujiu, I won the champion." Moreover, the emperor praised me very much and appointed me as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy on the spot. ”

"Huaiqing, is this true, didn't you lie to me?" Bai Jiujiu excitedly took Xu Huaiqing's hand, already a little incoherent.

Xu Huaiqing smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true." The officials who will release the list will come to the door in a while. ”

After confirming it again and again, Bai Jiujiu finally believed that Xu Huaiqing had won the champion. remembered that Xu Huaiqing deliberately deceived himself just now, and couldn't help but pout.

"Since you won the top prize, why did you put on such an expression when you just entered the door?" Bai Jiujiu pushed Xu Huaiqing away dissatisfiedly, and hammered a few times angrily.

It's just that her strength, in Xu Huaiqing's eyes, not only has no deterrent effect, but is more like being coquettish. Grabbing Bai Jiujiu's wrist waving wildly, Xu Huai looked straight at the person in front of him, "I just want to give you a little surprise." If I you off, then I apologize to you. ”

The man's eyes were full of love, Bai Jiujiu's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at him, and his originally white and tender cheeks had already been dyed with a layer of red, like ripe honey. Peach, you can't help but want to take a bite.

"For your sake, this matter is over. If you dare to lie to me next time, I won't teach you a good lesson. Pretending to be calm and withdrawing his hand, Bai Jiujiu threw down such a sentence, and then fled, and Xu Huaiqing's low laughter came from behind.

In order to celebrate Xu Huaiqing's high school champion, Bai Jiujiu decided to cook some delicious dishes to celebrate.

After making a table of delicious food, she also took out a bottle of wine that had been treasured for many years. Maybe he was too excited after winning the champion, or maybe Bai Jiujiu under the moonlight was too charming, Xu Huaiqing drank too much unconsciously.

After finally helping the drunk Xu Huaiqing to lie down, Bai Jiujiu sighed leisurely. He looked at the person on the bed with a complicated expression, then turned and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, the previously messy table top had been cleaned up by the maid, Bai Jiujiu sat down on the stone bench on the side, looked at the full moon in the sky, and couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

At this time, there are only three months left before the Shangyuan Festival. Until now, she is still conflicted in her heart and does not know how she should choose. It is a good thing to be able to return to the former world, but it means that she has to leave Xu Huaiqing's side.

At this moment, because of Xu Huaiqing's excitement, the excitement of the champion gradually dissipated. No one knows what Bai Jiujiu thought about this night, and no one knows that Xu Huaiqing is actually not drunk. Looking at the lonely back outside the courtyard, his eyes flashed with a light called distress.

Early the next morning, before Bai Jiujiu opened his eyes, he heard a noise around him, and it seemed that Xu Huaiqing was ready to get up.
