Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

As soon as he said these words, Aji suddenly took a few steps back, then stood there with his head bowed, tears sliding down his cheeks uncontrollably.

Ling Feng glanced at Aji and then looked at Leng Yu worriedly.

"I brought Aji. If anything happens to Mr. Yicheng, I am willing to take the punishment on Aji's behalf."

"Brother Feng, I don't blame you for this. It's my fault. I shouldn't touch other people's swords, and I shouldn't hurt people with the swords. Aji is at fault, and Aji deserves to die for his mistake."

"Shut up."

Ling Feng turned around and scolded her harshly,

"Didn't you cause me a lot of trouble along the way? You are my cousin. I promised my mother to take good care of you, so naturally I cannot make a mistake. The mistake you made was also caused by my failure to control you. This crime , naturally it will be my responsibility.”

"Brother Feng..."

"Stop talking."

Ling Feng raised his hands forward with a solemn expression,

"Your Majesty, lock me up!"

Seeing this, Aji hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his arm.

"This is my fault. If you want to lock us up, lock us together. I want to stay with you."

Leng Yu frowned unceremoniously, then waved to Ayu,

"Put them in the west wing."

The reason why he did not order them to be imprisoned in the woodshed was because they were Dongyang people.

Ling Feng took Aji without any complaints and followed Ayu and several of his guards out.

Leng Yu turned his head and looked at Luo Lan,

"Madam, you don't look good these days. Are you worried about Yicheng?"

Luo Lan looked at him with a face as pale as paper. She wanted to tell him about An An, but in the end she didn't.

Today was the three-day period he had set for the No. 1 Scholar, but at this time, something happened to Yicheng again.

These things were mixed together, and she didn't know how to speak.

At this moment, Qin Shun came forward to report,

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen, Miss An An would like to see you."

Hearing An An's name, Luo Lan's heart rose in her throat, Leng Yu waved his hand directly,

"Let her in."

After a while, Aji appeared in front of Leng Yu and Luo Lan dressed in men's clothing.

Seeing her attire, Luo Lan knew that this girl had admitted her mistake.

But she was also happy about it, which showed that she was a courageous person.

An An came to the main hall, knelt on her knees, and kowtowed three times in succession in silence.

Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan with confusion, then raised his hand to An An and said:

"An'an, what are you doing?"

An An did not stand up, but knelt on the spot, straightened her body, clasped her hands in fists and said:

"Your Majesty, the Queen, An An is here today to admit her mistake to you. If An An made a mistake, please punish the Emperor."

For the first time, she did not call them father and mother, which made Leng Yu even more puzzled.

He frowned and looked at her,

"An'an, what's going on? What mistake did you make?"

An An glanced at Luo Lan, bit her lip, and then took out a piece of straw paper from her breast pocket and spread it out.

When he saw this piece of papyrus, Leng Yu seemed to realize something.

He looked at her solemnly,

"Why did you take off the imperial list posted by my order?"

Luo Lan's heart was about to jump out of her throat.

She stared at An An with her charming eyes, fearing that if she said a wrong word, Leng Yu would be furious.

An An looked at Leng Yu with firm eyes, her body was shaking, but her heart was trying her best to stay calm.

"Your Majesty, the new top scholar Ling'an mentioned on the imperial list is me disguised as a man."

As soon as she said these words, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned livid, and Luo Lan turned to look at Leng Yu.

Leng Yu seemed to feel her gaze. He turned to look at her with sharp eyes, and then asked in a cold voice,

"Do you know about this?"

Luo Lan couldn't lie, she nodded immediately,

"know."

After receiving Luo Lan's affirmative answer, he immediately became furious and slapped the table.

"You know? Do you know what crime she committed? She committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. How dare she? How could she do such a thing? Is this something you condone?"

Seeing Leng Yu imposing the blame on Luo Lan, An An responded hurriedly,

"This is not something my mother condoned. She didn't know it at first. This is An An's own fault. All the blame will be borne by An An herself."

"Are you responsible? Can you afford it? First of all, you are a woman, so you should not have entered the examination room. Secondly, you took part in the imperial examination under a false name and passed the exam, and you did not show up for many days. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. It’s going to take your head off, don’t you know?”

An An's face turned red at this moment. She pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

"I know, I never thought I could get the top prize, I just wanted to have fun."

"Playing? Do you know the consequences of playing? You usually like to play, and you can play whatever you want. How can you play with such a serious matter? This is an imperial examination, an exam for the country to select talents. It is not just for you to play if you want to. It can be played.”

Seeing that Leng Yu was furious, An An buried her head on the ground again.

"I realize my mistake. I alone bear all the blame for this. This matter has nothing to do with my mother or anyone else."

At this time, Luo Lan's eyes had begun to turn red. She looked at Leng Yu and begged softly:

"Ms. sir, didn't you say that no matter how big a mistake the new top pick makes, we can forget about it for the sake of his outstanding talent? Can you be accommodating to An An this time?"

Leng Yu had been suppressing his anger. When he heard what she said, he looked at her angrily, pointed at his chest, and asked repeatedly,

"Accommodating? How do you want me to be accommodating? The imperial examination is not a child's play. Do you want me to tell the ministers that my daughter disguised herself as a woman to take part in the imperial examination and won the first prize? You want me to tell the people of the world that this was done by her and everyone. A joke? So what is this exam? Is it the laughingstock of the world?"

Luo Lan understands his mood at this time, but the facts are already here, what else can be done?

"Ms. sir, don't be angry. An'an is at fault for this matter, and I am also responsible. It was caused by my neglect of discipline. But let's think about it the other way around. It's not right that a female classmate like her can win the imperial examination in one fell swoop. Does it show her strengths? It also shows that we have taught her well enough..."

After her reminder, Leng Yu suddenly thought of something and looked at her with his eyebrows twisted.

"You said that you disguised yourself as a man and took the imperial examination as Ling An. Then tell me, what was the question of the last examination?"

This question made An An stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a long time, she could not reply.

"It's...I...I forgot for a moment."

"Forgot? How could you forget such an important exam?"

At this point, he looked at her alertly,

"Since you have forgotten, I will remind you that the title of the last question is: The land of Bailiang Zhejiang is called Lingjie, and it was called Duoxian in the past. Please give one or two comments..."

As soon as he finished speaking, An An nodded eagerly,

"Yes, that's the question. I just forgot about it in a hurry."

"Huh, you're lying."

While Leng Yu was questioning angrily, he made a "pop" sound, made a fist with his right hand, and slapped the table hard.

"This is a question from the last imperial examination. You accepted it without even a trace of hesitation. It can be seen that the person taking this exam is not you, but someone else."
