The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.
Chapter 5 Submitting for the exam
"Miss, you should sleep a little longer." Jinxiu was very worried when she saw that she looked tired.
"I'm fine. How was Gu Mingzhao last night?" Liao Qinglan asked.
"No one came to report from the guest room, so I guess everything is fine."
Liao Qinglan nodded. She had specifically instructed that if Gu Mingzhao's condition worsened, she must be informed immediately. She thought he should be fine.
But without seeing it with my own eyes, I still felt a little worried: "Jinxiu, take two ginsengs from my storeroom and bring them with me to the guest room."
"Miss, do you still want to go to the guest room? The imperial examination will be held tomorrow, and we have to send the young master to the Imperial Examination Hall today. Don't be late!" Jinxiu reminded with a wink.
"It's okay. Let's go see Gu Mingzhao first. It's okay to wait for my brother."
Liao Qinglan sounded as if she was talking about what to eat today, with a matter-of-fact tone, which shocked Jinxiu so much that her eyes almost popped out.
That’s the eldest young master!
The eldest lady has always regarded the eldest young master's affairs as more important than anything else. She has been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures for more than half a year to pray for the eldest young master!
Now, for the sake of a poor scholar, she would put the young master behind other things!
Liao Qinglan didn’t think there was anything wrong, so after breakfast she went to visit Gu Mingzhao with some ginseng.
When she arrived, Gu Mingzhao had already woken up.
Gu Mingzhao was half leaning on the bed, the warm sunlight outside the window shining gently on him, casting a soft golden glow on his chiseled face.
He stared out the window in a trance, with a few strands of hair scattered across his forehead, adding to his sense of haggardness and brokenness.
Even though Gu Mingzhao had an extreme and weird personality in his previous life, Liao Qinglan had to admit that he had a good-looking face.
Gu Mingzhao, who was still in his twenties, was even more immature and pure.
But Liao Qinglan will not let her guard down just because of his deceptive face and vows to do her best to curry favor with the powerful.
"Mr. Gu, are you feeling better? I brought some ginseng to use as medicine later. Your injury will heal faster."
Liao Qinglan held the ginseng in front of him like presenting a treasure.
This ginseng is large in size and has fine texture. It is obviously of excellent quality and is very hard to find in the market.
"Thank you, Miss." Gu Mingzhao nodded slightly.
With just five words, Liao Qinglan was so excited that she almost cried.
He said thank you!
You know, the first two times she talked to Gu Mingzhao, he was always lukewarm!
This time he said thank you! Sugar-coated bullets are still useful!
"Actually, I came here to ask you for something else. Can you be my husband in the future?" Liao Qinglan struck while the iron was hot and stated the purpose of today.
Gu Mingzhao looked puzzled.
"It's like this. My father always complains that I don't like studying. I heard from others that your knowledge is one of the best in the school, so I want you to teach me." Liao Qinglan spoke nonsense in a serious manner.
Gu Mingzhao hesitated: "If you want to find a teacher, there are many great scholars willing to teach you. Why do you need to find me?"
"They have taught so many people! You are different. When you pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, I will be his founding disciple. It will be so prestigious to tell others about it!" Liao Qinglan said with a smile.
The abacus in her mind was clacking.
Gu Mingzhao said that she was struggling to make a living, so she asked him to find a job for her. As her teacher, his life would be better.
Looking at the longer term, when Gu Mingzhao ascends the throne, based on their teacher-student relationship, even if Gu Mingzhao doesn't take care of her intentionally, others will still give her some face.
This reason obviously could not convince Gu Mingzhao.
He couldn't figure out what Miss Liao was up to.
But he had studied in the Prime Minister's Mansion for three years and had long been accustomed to the various strange ideas that suddenly came up from these powerful and wealthy children.
He had no better choice at the moment. Since the young lady was interested, he would play with her and wait until she got bored and then think about the future.
Gu Mingzhao nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
Having gotten his consent, Liao Qinglan was extremely excited, and happily went out to send Liao Wei to the exam.
There were huge crowds of people outside the Imperial Examination Hall.
The people and carriages from various families who were sending their children to take the exam filled the area for several miles, making it impossible to move forward. The people had to get off and walk.
Liao Qinglan followed her elders obediently, listening to her father Liao Zhendong's detailed instructions on some matters to pay attention to.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, Liao Qinglan casually glanced at the students around her.
Most people had solemn expressions. Even my brother, who was always calm and composed in his dealings with others, seemed a little nervous.
The imperial examination, held every three years, is very important for all scholars.
Liao Qinglan couldn't help but think of Gu Mingzhao again.
With a background like his, the imperial examination was his only chance to change his destiny, and he must have prepared for it for a long time.
In his previous life, he was excited as if lighting a firecracker when he heard about the imperial examination. He must be regretting that he couldn't take part in it.
Liao Qinglan was lost in thought, and Liao Wei called her several times before she heard him.
"Lan'er, I'm going in." Liao Wei said.
Liao Qinglan came back to her senses and bowed slightly: "I wish my brother to pass the imperial examination and get a good score!"
After Liao Wei left, Liao Zhendong waved his hand and said, "Go and have fun by yourself. You don't have to follow us."
Liao Qinglan said goodbye to her parents and wandered aimlessly on the nearby streets, thinking about bringing back something fun for Gu Mingzhao later.
She was wandering around when she came across two women walking towards her arm in arm.
Liao Qinglan immediately turned around and tried to avoid them.
"What a coincidence, Sister Lan is here too!" Liao Wan'er called her softly, her tone very gentle.
This is my cousin Liao Wan'er who lives in the Liao Mansion. Her father died early, leaving behind an orphan and a widow.
As the head of the Liao family, Liao Zhendong naturally took on the responsibility of taking care of the mother and daughter and reserved a place for them in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Bad memories from her previous life flooded into her mind, but Liao Qinglan pretended not to hear them.
An Linglong, who was standing next to her, was very angry when she saw that she didn't take her seriously. She stepped forward and blocked her way: "Wan'er is talking to you, are you deaf?"
Liao Qinglan couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart: "It's not a coincidence at all. My brother is going to the Imperial Examination Hall today, so it's normal for me to be here. I want to ask Sister Wan'er, why didn't you come to see my brother off today?"
"The Second Prince is also going to the Imperial Examination Hall today. He said that we won't be able to see each other for half a month, and he insisted that I come to see him off." Liao Wan'er twirled her hair with her index finger and said shyly.
The second prince Li Jin, her husband in her previous life, was asked by the emperor to assist in this imperial examination.
In her previous life, she had pestered him for a long time and wanted to send him to the Imperial Examination Hall, but he refused.
"This is the first time that my father has entrusted me with an important task. If you follow me, others will say that I am not steady and that you are ignorant."
"Besides, if others see me and Liao Wei together, they will definitely think that I am looking out for him. You don't want to give your brother a reason to talk about it, right?"
In her previous life, she felt that what Li Jin said made sense, and she admired him for being thoughtful and considerate of her and her brother.
It turned out that these were just words to please her, as he had other beautiful ladies to accompany him.
Liao Qinglan said "Oh" and walked around the two of them and prepared to leave.
