Chapter 163 Rejection of Marriage



Chapter 163 Rejection of Marriage

Soon, Sun Jinzhou was dragged out and beaten with a stick, and his cries of pain were heard outside the hall!

As a father, He Shouye felt heartbroken, but he could do nothing!

He couldn't figure out what went wrong. Why did everyone insist that Jinzhou cheated?

Cheating was suspected on the day, so they sent people to investigate afterwards. That was quite fast!

Not only that, the tigress in the house also knew everything. What went on every day?

In the palace!

Sun Jinzhou was stripped of his title of top scholar, and Emperor Deyuan immediately looked at Su Xiuwen!

"Su Tanhua, obey your orders!"

"I'm here!" Su Xiuwen stepped forward with his hands clasped! He was groveling!

"Sun Jinzhou cheated and is not worthy of being the top scholar. From now on, you are the top scholar. I appoint you as the deputy minister, third-rank imperial censor!"

Su Xiuwen was overjoyed to receive such a title, and immediately knelt down: "Thank you, Lord!"

Then he looked at the runner-up and said, "Xue Bangyan, I heard that you are close to Su Zhuangyuan. From now on, you are the third place winner. I will appoint you as the deputy minister and fourth-rank censor to assist Su Yushi in handling affairs!"

"Thank you, Lord!" Xue Zhiping was also very happy and knelt down to express his gratitude.

The next step was the advancement of the second place winners and the Jinshi candidates, who were all canonized one by one!

As they advanced to a higher level, everyone was happy except He Shouye and his son!

......

After the court session!

Su Xiuwen was called to the imperial study!

Without exception, Yan Jiaojiao was also called by Li Dachang as promised!

On the way to the Imperial Study...

"Eunuch Li, why did the emperor ask me to go to the imperial study? Didn't he ask Censor Su?"

Day by day, this fairy has become a frequent visitor to the imperial study!

"This old servant doesn't know either. Princess Xile will know once she goes there!"

[System, do you know? This fairy has recently felt that everyone around her is weird, especially the old emperor! The way he looks at me is not pure! ]

[Don’t you think that this fairy is too pretty? She is a bright spot in the green of the court. It is hard not to be dazzling! ]

After thinking about it, Yan Jiaojiao started to make fun of herself again!

[I am one year older now. I will be a grown-up girl in a few years. You guys are not going to set your sights on me, are you? ]

The system is like a pig, speechless!

The host has a very good imagination and always thinks of some fantastic things!

She is only seven years old and still far from the age of marriage. What are you thinking about?

Narcissism is a good thing, but going too far is too much!

System: [Host, I have not detected any bad intentions from the old emperor! It seems that he just wants to get close to you! ]

Yan Jiaojiao: Is that so? Why does this approach seem to have a purpose? I don’t have any sugar on me, so why do I stick so close to you?

[I see, this is really boring. I thought there was something new to discover! ]

System: So she is not happy that the emperor didn’t plot against her?

In the imperial study room!

When Yan Jiaojiao came in, Su Xiuwen also arrived!

"Good luck to the princess!" Su Xiuwen bowed, very respectfully!

"Minister Su, there is no need to be so polite. Please come in!"

[After a closer look, Minister Su is modest, polite, and well-mannered, not bad! ]

System: [Su Xiuwen is indeed absolutely beautiful, with an elegant and handsome aura! However...]

[But she is already married! And the guy from the princess's mansion happens to like him, so this is troublesome! ] Yan Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and said!

System: [This Su Xiuwen is a rare good official in the Great Sheng Chu Dynasty, but it’s a pity that he is about to die! ]

Yan Jiaojiao sighed and shook her head, then entered the imperial study and sat directly on the cushion in the corner!

Every time she came, she was like this. Emperor Deyuan also let her entertain herself, as long as she didn't talk too much and disturbed him. He would listen to her thoughts and then handle official business. This would be much more convenient! And he wouldn't be exploited by corrupt officials.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Xiuwen was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down!

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty! Long live the emperor!"

"Minister Su, please stand up quickly!" Emperor Deyuan was very envious of the young and handsome number one scholar in front of him!

Once upon a time, he was so young and handsome, but time flies and his youth is gone!

"Minister Su, I called you here because I have a great joy to tell you!"

happy event?

Su Xiuwen asked humbly: "Your Majesty, please explain clearly!"

Emperor Deyuan nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Jiaojiao took the lead...

[It looks like a happy event, but it is actually a funeral! ]

Emperor Deyuan: “….”

He hasn't said it yet, Jiaojiao knows it?

It was clearly a happy event, so why was it a funeral? Where did this come from?

"Did you meet a woman on your way home from court yesterday?" Emperor Deyuan asked softly.

Recalling yesterday, Su Xiuwen said seriously, "I did meet a girl. She sprained her ankle at that time, and I helped her! I wonder if this is... inappropriate?"

[Of course it's inappropriate, because that girl is the fifth princess of the dynasty, and she just happened to like you and wants to recruit you as her consort! ]

Emperor Deyuan: Nothing can be hidden from Jiaojiao.

"Do you know that girl is the fifth princess Qin Siyu!"

"Fifth Princess?" Su Xiuwen exclaimed, thinking that he had displeased the other party.

"I am a newcomer to the court, and I didn't know that girl was the Fifth Princess. I am so sorry!" He knelt on the ground with a sincere attitude.

"Minister Su, what are you thinking? I don't mean to blame you! Please get up quickly!"

Su Xiuwen: “…”

No blame, what does that mean?

"How is the Fifth Princess after yesterday?" Su Xiuwen asked with concern.

His concern made Emperor Deyuan very satisfied and he felt that Su Xiuwen was a trustworthy person.

"If Minister Su wants to know, he can go back to the Princess's Mansion and find out!"

Su Xiuwen cupped his hands and said, "I am a rough man and I don't know how to speak. It is better not to disturb the Fifth Princess's recuperation!"

Emperor Deyuan waved his hand: "No interruption, Siyu is happy for you to visit her!"

[I am not happy about this. After yesterday, my mind was completely focused on Su Xiuwen. Even my dreams were of his face!]

Emperor Deyuan: My daughter has grown up and she should not be kept here.

"I understand. I will go to see the Fifth Princess later!" As a minister, it was difficult for him to refuse even if he was unwilling.

"Actually, I have something else to tell you!" He smiled slightly, feeling happy just thinking about it!

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Emperor Deyuan sat upright and finally got to the point: "Minister Su, are you ready for marriage?"

"I am already married and will be getting married next month!" Thinking of the girl in his heart, Su Xiuwen raised the corners of his mouth slightly!

After hearing this, Emperor Deyuan was stunned for a second, then asked: "What is the identity of that girl?"

"A girl from an ordinary family, who grew up with me since childhood!"

Hearing that she was a girl from an ordinary family, Emperor Deyuan did not think much and said bluntly: "You are the censor of the dynasty, and you can take a girl from an ordinary family as a concubine!"

"To be honest with you, Siyu likes you, and I plan to recruit you as my consort! Are you willing?" Emperor Deyuan's face was serious, and he was sure that Su Xiuwen would not dare to refuse!

However, Su Xiuwen was not afraid of death and refused directly: "Your Majesty, I cannot be an unfaithful man. Youyou and I have been childhood sweethearts. I promised to marry her after she graduates from high school. How can I go back on my word!"

"The Fifth Princess is of noble birth. I'm afraid it would be unfair to her to marry me!"
