The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

On February 17, the nine-day examination ended.

The examiners and students walked out of the Imperial Examination Hall together.

Liao Wei met Li Jin at the door and went up to greet him.

"Second Prince, are you waiting for someone?" Everyone in the capital knew that his sister was crazy about Li Jin.

Concubine An also summoned her mother several times, and her words showed that she liked Liao Qinglan very much. She said that she would ask the emperor to grant her marriage when Liao Qinglan was older.

Everyone knows that Liao Qinglan will be the second prince's consort in the future.

Li Jin's eyes were gentle and he smiled: "I will host a banquet for all the examiners at the Huibin Building. Brother Liao, please come with us."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I am a juren and it is not appropriate for me to have close personal relationships with you gentlemen, so I will not go." Liao Wei politely declined.

Li Jin secretly cursed Liao Wei for being ungrateful.

Liao Wei is his future brother-in-law. If he can pass high school, he will definitely be a great help to him. He intends to help him make some connections, but who knew that Liao Wei is so pedantic at such a young age.

"Brother Liao is a man of integrity, worthy of the character of a scholar." Li Jin praised reluctantly, "Then I will take Brother Liao back home."

"I dare not trouble Your Highness, my family is here to pick me up." Liao Wei saw Liao Qinglan in the crowd and raised his hand to greet her.

Liao Qinglan had seen them a long time ago, but she didn't want to see Li Jin, so she hid in the crowd and didn't come out.

After Liao Wei shouted like that, she could only walk over reluctantly.

"Greetings, Second Prince. I'm here to take my brother home. My parents are waiting for us at home. We'll take our leave first." Liao Qinglan bowed and said goodbye with an expressionless face.

The smile on Li Jin's face froze.

In the past, Liao Qinglan would always cling to him whenever she saw him and he couldn’t get rid of her, but today her attitude was very abnormal.

Liao Wei didn't know that his sister's mood had completely changed from before. He just thought that his sister was a little uncomfortable because he was here.

"Lan'er, I'll wait for you in the carriage first. You and the Second Prince haven't seen each other for many days, so you must have a lot to talk about." Liao Wei said with a smile.

Liao Qinglan wanted to go along, but was stopped by Li Jin.

"Qinglan, what's wrong with you? Are you still angry because I didn't let you send me to the Imperial Examination Hall?" Li Jin coaxed her patiently.

All the bad memories from the past came to her mind, and Li Jin's disguise made her want to vomit.

She lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Are you still blaming me for not letting you see me off? It's all my fault. I made Miss Liao unhappy just for these false names."

Liao Qinglan still didn't speak.

Li Jin suppressed his annoyance and said gently, "I'll be with you all day tomorrow. Don't be angry, okay?"

Liao Qinglan finally raised her head.

Humble and kind, like a spring breeze, is her favorite type.

Sometimes I really can't blame her for being stupid in her previous life.

She also couldn't have imagined that Li Jin, as a prince, could be so pretentious.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Li Jin in her life, so she said coldly: "Second Prince, you should go and accompany Liao Wan'er."

Li Jin thought she was jealous and laughed, "So this is the problem. You know, Liao Wan'er and my cousin Linglong have a very good relationship. I didn't know Linglong would bring her here. You're not jealous of your own cousin, are you?"

Liao Qinglan was almost laughing because of him.

He first pushed all the responsibility onto An Linglong to clear himself, and then hinted that if she made a fuss again, he would be just being jealous and being unreasonable.

She was really blind before, treating this kind of person as the bright moon in the sky.

"Since you mentioned An Linglong, I have to ask Your Highness. An Linglong often humiliates me, and everyone in the capital knows it. Others say that I love you madly and try to please your cousin in every way. Your Highness, have you never heard anything about it?" Liao Qinglan questioned.

Li Jin palely defended himself: "I thought it was just a joke between little girls, so I didn't take it too seriously..."

"Do you not care, or do you deliberately let the rumors spread? Not only will everyone in the capital think that the daughter of the prime minister's family is harassing you, but you can also let An Linglong test my temper and let me be manipulated by you!" Liao Qinglan tore off his mask.

Li Jin's face turned pale when his thoughts were spoken, and he acted as if he was deeply distressed: "You... Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

Liao Qinglan didn't want to see him pretending anymore, so she turned around and left.

The Liao family's carriage was parked on the side, and Liao Wei saw clearly the expressions on the faces of the two people talking just now.

"Did you have a fight?" Liao Wei asked.

Liao Qinglan shook her head: "It's not a quarrel. I should have made some things clear to him a long time ago."

"You used to be so obedient to him, but now you are going to change your strategy?" Liao Wei couldn't believe that his sister would part ways with Li Jin on bad terms.

"Brother, don't mention him anymore. I will never have anything to do with him in this life." Liao Qinglan said with disgust.

Liao Wei blinked his eyes: "Isn't that just a rant?"

"No."

Liao Wei leaned back in his chair, feeling very relaxed: "I always felt that he was not a good match for me. You liked him so much that you lost yourself, but you were stubborn and wouldn't listen to anyone. It's a good thing that you figured it out, but you can't regret it."

Liao Qinglan sighed silently.

Jinxiu also said something similar. It turned out that no one was optimistic about her relationship.

Liao Wei was a little curious about how his sister suddenly came to her senses, and asked, "Why do you suddenly dislike him?"

"He treats me well only because I am the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. The one he likes is actually Liao Wan'er."

"Liao Wan'er?" Liao Wei was very surprised.

"I don't know when they started dating, but judging from An Linglong's attitude, it's certain that Li Jin and Liao Wan'er are in love with each other." Liao Qinglan sighed.

Liao Wei didn't understand what was going on between girls, but he believed in his sister's judgment, so he said, "It's a good thing that you give up on him. With your father's status, even if he doesn't want to take sides, as long as you marry the prince, he can be lifted up to the throne even if he's a pig."

"I will not marry the prince, don't worry, brother. We have more urgent things to worry about right now."

"what's up?"

"Someone reported to me a while ago that my second aunt would use aphrodisiacs on my father at the banquet today, hoping to have sex with him and force him to marry two wives."

"Ridiculous!" Liao Wei's face turned pale.

He had been well-read in poetry and books since childhood, and had learned the teachings of sages. He simply could not accept such obsolete etiquette.

"Don't worry, brother. I knew the news in advance and have taken precautions. I won't let her succeed." Liao Qinglan said with a smile.

Liao Wei scowled, "Father took them in out of pity for them, but I never thought they would become ambitious. One of them stole the person you liked, and the other dared to covet my father!"

"I think so too. These two people cannot stay in our house any longer. I need my brother to help me drive them away tonight."

"Do you already have a solution?" Liao Wei was stunned.

He had only been away from home for a few days, and his sister had changed a lot. From a carefree young lady, she had become someone who could take on her responsibilities for the family.

Liao Qinglan smiled mysteriously and whispered to Liao Wei about her plans for tonight.
