Chapter 246 is not something you can just access if you want to.
The Seventh Princess was blocked by Su Mowan, but upon hearing this, she immediately stuck her head out.
She exclaimed excitedly, "Huanhuan?! What are you doing here? You know my sister-in-law—"
"Young Master Gu, your question from last time was really boring, and I don't intend to answer it. Also, next time you see me, don't get so close. When you're in a bad mood, you might just remember that grudge from that day."
Su Mowan promptly swallowed the words "sister-in-law" that the Seventh Princess was about to say.
Gu Huan didn't know her identity and still thought she was a man. Su Mowan was now a little regretful that she hadn't put on her mask when she left the private room.
After saying that, she tried to walk past Gu Huan and go downstairs.
Gu Huan didn't see the Seventh Princess at first glance, but when he saw that the Seventh Princess was with Su Mowan, he quickly and shamelessly followed behind her.
"Seventh Princess, where are you all going?"
"Want to come along for a stroll?" The Seventh Princess seemed quite happy.
Gu Huan's eyes lit up. She looked at Su Mowan and Shangguan Qingqi in front of her and said excitedly, "Yes, yes! When the results are released, are we going to go see them?"
"Haha, yes! Will you make the list?"
The two started chatting immediately.
Shangguan Qingqi had no feelings for Gu Huan, only glancing at him indifferently, but was somewhat grateful for Gu Huan's appearance.
Although he didn't know what questions Gu Huan had asked Su Mowan before, Gu Huan's current clinging to the Seventh Princess suited his interests perfectly.
In this way, he could walk side by side with Su Mowan.
Su Mowan walked ahead and listened to Gu Huan and the Seventh Princess's conversation, so she knew that the Seventh Princess and Gu Huan had a good relationship.
The seventh princess kept calling her "Huanhuan," which made Su Mowan want to laugh.
But Gu Huan showed absolutely no aversion to it.
A man is actually quite happy to be called "Huanhuan," which sounds so effeminate.
After leaving the building, Su Mowan put on her mask. She and Shangguan Qingqi got into the carriage first, then she turned around and pulled the Seventh Princess along. Gu Huan followed without hesitation, not at all like a stranger.
Yinshuang and the others hired another carriage and followed behind.
After getting into the carriage, the Seventh Princess and Gu Huan chatted even more enthusiastically, while Su Mowan felt a constant buzzing in her ears. The two had an unbelievably good relationship and talked about everything.
Just like now.
The Seventh Princess glared at Shangguan Qingqi, who was sitting next to Su Mowan, and said to Gu Huan, "Why didn't you tell me you had the wrong person when I went to the Wan Hua Lou last time? It caused me to be confined by my father for more than half a month!"
Gu Huan knew about this.
He often went to the brothel, and he was naturally there on the day the Seventh Princess went. But by the time he heard the news and rushed over, the scene was already quite dramatic.
Then the Seventh Princess left after beating him up, without giving him a chance to say a word.
When the Seventh Princess went to the brothel again to look for someone, Gu Huan was there too. Unfortunately, the two women were fighting, and he couldn't go up to help, otherwise he would be suspected of bullying the women.
Thinking of this, Gu Huan said to the Seventh Princess, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but Lu Qingtong is too bold. She actually dared to fight you."
The Seventh Princess snorted.
"She's just a barbarian! Even if I, the princess, hit the wrong person, what business is it of hers? She's just making a fuss over nothing!"
Su Mowan was taken aback when she heard the name 'Lu Qingtong'. Wasn't this the daughter of the Minister of War?
Once, he even went to her clothing store to look at clothes. That time, Lu Qingtong and Liu Ruxu had a conflict.
As for the fight at the brothel involving the Seventh Princess, it was Murong Jing who personally went to the Wan Hua Lou to bring her back, as she was seriously injured at the time.
So it turns out he was beaten up by Lu Qingtong?
Thinking of this, Su Mowan asked the Seventh Princess, "Didn't you go to the Wan Hua Lou? Why is Lu Qingtong there?"
Before the Seventh Princess could answer, Shangguan Qingqi interjected sarcastically, "Why not? If Your Highness can go to a brothel to beat people up, then Miss Lu can certainly go to a brothel to save people."
This is quite intriguing. Lu Qingtong went to the Wan Hua Lou to rescue someone? And even fought with the Seventh Princess. This means that Lu Qingtong was after Tang Minzhi!
Su Mowan's expression instantly turned strange.
Lu Qingtong and Tang Minzhi...
This pairing seems pretty good, although there's a slight sense of awkwardness.
Upon hearing Shangguan Qingqi's words, the Seventh Princess immediately turned her attention to him.
"How dare you even speak up? If you hadn't been running off to the brothel, would I, the princess, have encountered such bad luck?! And you're even gloating, aren't you? When I get back, I'll tell my father to choose a barbarian woman for you! Let's see if you'll still be laughing then!"
"We don't need the barbarian woman. One is already enough to broaden our horizons. If we had another one, life would be too tragic."
Shangguan Qingqi said with a cool breeze.
He had just been thinking not to stoop to the level of a little girl, but now he couldn't help himself.
These words are an insult! The Seventh Princess's eyebrows shot up.
Her slightly round face looks chubby, and even when she's angry, she's exceptionally cute.
She raised her chin and retorted, "This princess has seen enough! I've never seen a pervert like you!"
Who are you calling a pervert?
Shangguan Qingqi raised an eyebrow.
"Liking men is perverted! Don't think I don't know what you've done just because I rarely leave the palace! Your reputation is infamous! I don't know where you get the nerve to hang around outside every day. If it were me, I would have dug a hole and stayed hidden to avoid making a fool of myself!"
"..."
They know quite a lot.
Shangguan Qingqi didn't argue. He glanced at the person, shrugged indifferently, and said, "The world laughs at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at the world for not seeing through things."
"..."
Su Mowan glanced at him sideways.
The Seventh Princess wanted to say something more, but Su Mowan shut her up with just one look.
Gu Huan, who was standing to the side, was actually a little afraid of Shangguan Qingqi. This man spoke and acted without any scruples, but now that Su Mowan and the Seventh Princess were there, he became bolder.
He sneered at Shangguan Qingqi.
However, he was intimidated by Shangguan Qingqi's gaze the next moment and had no choice but to continue speaking in a low voice to the Seventh Princess.
Su Mowan was very curious. Gu Huan looked like he was going to take the civil service exam. He didn't seem to have much ability.
Shangguan Qingqi actually saw through her thoughts.
He immediately whispered smugly, "We'll go check the list of successful candidates in a bit and see how amazing I am."
He looked very confident.
Su Mowan raised an eyebrow. Putting aside others, Tang Minzhi, whom she knew, seemed much more learned than Shangguan Qingqi. And then there was Mu Qingchen, the son of the Minister of Works, who was considered her second brother's rival in love, and she had heard that he was not to be underestimated.
Shangguan Qingqi, who appeared halfway through his career, can't compare to those who have been studying since childhood, right?
Su Mowan wasn't too optimistic, but she didn't want to discourage anyone.
He said, "We'll see in a moment. We'll see how you make a name for yourself."
About fifteen minutes later, the carriage gradually slowed down. Su Mowan lifted the curtain and saw that there were many people and carriages on the street.
This should be the time of day with the fewest people on the street, but today is a special day, so I guess everyone is here waiting for the results to be released.
The carriage was moving slowly, so Su Mowan suggested that they just get out and walk.
Several people nodded in agreement.
Shangguan Qingqi went down first, and after he stood still, he reached out to help Su Mowan. When the Seventh Princess saw this, she quickly reached out her hand to help him.
"Please help me up."
"..."
Shangguan Qingqi's expression froze for a moment, and he reluctantly took the Seventh Princess's soft hand and helped her down.
Gu Huan, who was following behind, secretly curled her lip.
If it weren't for Shangguan Qingqi's overtures, how would he have gotten the chance to help?
The Seventh Princess and he have been friends since childhood!
Gu Huan was unhappy.
Su Mowan smiled at Shangguan Qingqi. The Seventh Princess was a master at defusing awkward situations, and also a master at creating them.
The group all got out of the car, and Yinshuang and the others followed behind their master.
This is only the entrance to Xuanwu Street, and it's already this crowded. You can imagine how much more difficult it will be to walk further in. Obviously, walking in is the wisest choice.
Besides the students taking the written exam, the streets were also bustling with onlookers and cars.
It was already completely blocked.
Su Mowan and Shangguan Qingqi walked side by side at the front, leading the way, with the Seventh Princess and Gu Huan in the middle, and Yinshuang and the others protecting the rear.
It was past noon, and the sun was high in the sky. Fortunately, it was late autumn, so it wasn't too scorching. However, looking at the bustling crowds on the streets, Su Mowan felt a bit suffocated.
Seeing that she didn't look well, Shangguan Qingqi asked her with concern what was wrong.
Su Mowan shook her head and said it was nothing. She just didn't like places with too many people; she found them too noisy.
But since we were already here, we couldn't turn back, so we had no choice but to keep pushing forward.
Xuanwu Street was not as long as Qinglong Street, so after walking for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the group could no longer continue.
There were huge crowds in front, and even more people following closely behind, making it a real dilemma.
Without even looking up, one can see a large crowd ahead, and in the far distance, a yellow notice has been posted.
A dense crowd gathered in front of the notice, whispering among themselves.
Their expressions ranged from joy to regret, and some even pointed at the names on the list from time to time.
It was too far away, about fifty meters away, so Su Mowan couldn't see it clearly.
Seeing that the crowd showed no signs of dispersing, Su Mowan pulled Shangguan Qingqi through the crowd and squeezed into a corner, intending to let others see enough before they went forward.
The Seventh Princess and Gu Huan quickly followed.
So the group huddled against the wall, drawing stares from those around them.
Shangguan Qingqi's face is easily recognizable.
Just then, a man strolled over, accompanied by several guards who cleared the way for him, looking quite impressive.
Of course, the person also looks like a normal human being.
Just as Shangguan Qingqi turned his head, the person was already in front of him.
The man had a slight smile on his lips, glanced at Su Mowan, and then raised his hand to bow to Shangguan Qingqi.
"It's quite a coincidence to meet Brother Shangguan here. Brother Shangguan, are you also here to see the list? I hope we'll have the same connection on the list."
At first glance, these words seem to wish Shangguan Qing success in the imperial examinations, but upon closer examination...
Su Mowan's lips curled up, but the mask concealed seven or eight parts of her expression.
This guy is really bold; he's clearly here to provoke us.
Shangguan Qingqi, who was being provoked, seemed to have expected it.
He glanced lazily at the newcomer, his tone contemptuous and flippant: "Young Master Mu is quite confident, but unfortunately, the spots on the list are limited. This thing isn't a woman; you can't just get on it whenever you want."
