The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1802 -1795: Qin Yu Cherishes the Beauty

The subordinate saw Yun Sijin go upstairs, then retreated first.

Yun Sijin walked up to Zhuo Junli and saw him watering a pot of orchids so much that it overflowed the pot. She frowned and said, “This flower already has too much fertilizer, if you keep watering it like this, it will die in a few days, either from rot or drowning.”

Zhuo Junli put down the watering can, curling his lips, his eyes like an old fox, “This flower blooms too brightly, it can only be placed in a vase here in the pavilion. If there’s any change, it’ll be gone. I’m watering it more now hoping it’ll last a few more days.”

Having been married to him for many years and having children, Yun Sijin understood everything he said, “Are you talking about the flower? You’re clearly making a veiled jab at the Crown Prince. Even though you serve two dynasties and hold a high position of power, you cannot overstep your bounds!

The Crown Prince is, after all, the emperor’s bloodline. If the emperor finds out you’ve been monitoring him for years, he won’t let you off!”

“I’d rather have Chu Yihan come rushing at me now and punch me in the face!” Zhuo Junli sneered, “The surgery many years ago almost took half his life. Su Yingxue took him away from the throne, leaving their three-year-old son all packed up for me. Now he’s finished his carefree days and plans to return!”

He had been bound to the royal court by Chu Yihan for a full twenty years.

He’s tired and weary!

“Imperial power is supreme!” Yun Sijin reminded him, “The Prime Minister’s Estate and you have both been deeply favored by the emperor. I also know you have no aspirations for the throne, but you should know that the Crown Prince is getting older and is about to ascend the throne. No emperor wants to be monitored. Need I explain such a simple and crude truth to you?”

“The rabbit dead, the dog cooked?” Zhuo Junli pulled out a folding fan, laughing and shaking it, asked Yun Sijin, “My lady, tell me, what end does an old fox like me get from the emperor?”

Yun Sijin slightly furrowed her brow. She couldn’t persuade Zhuo Junli.

She didn’t dwell on it, but she imagined if Zhuo Junli continued monitoring Chu Heng, there would be no good end for him!

Fortunately, years ago, he planned for it, sending their dragon and phoenix twins, a boy and a girl, into the common folk, without raising them by his side. They now raise children brought from Fufeng Center.

Yun Sijin looked at Zhuo Junli with his folding fan gently waving, appearing both cunning and slightly arrogant, she sighed inwardly, “Now at this age, I’ll just go along with your whims.”

The children are settled, any outcome, she is willing to stay with him.

Zhuo Junli embraced her waist, holding her in his arms, gently comforting, “Madam, you worry too much.”

Everything is within his control.

He’s just waiting for Chu Yihan and his wife to return.

Ten days later, the imperial exam results were released.

The entrance of the examination hall was crowded with people, the examinees couldn’t wait to know their scores, their eyes gleaming.

But this time it was peculiarly released. The list wasn’t posted outside, but inside the examination hall, and only examinees were allowed to view it, while others were forbidden from peeking.

“Brother, these results are strangely released!” Qin Mujin remarked with her long hair tied high, her face full of confusion.

Qin Yu, wearing a dark blue robe, had a mysterious look in his phoenix eyes under his thick eyebrows, “Something’s off!”

Being of the imperial family, even though not yet in power, they should know this procedure does not fit the norm.

Before leaving Great Wei, Qin Yu had even investigated all the procedures for the imperial exams of the Great Cheng Dynasty over the past twelve years. This year, with Chu Heng personally presiding over the exams, everything was different, even the questions were unexpected.

Qin Yu’s thin lips pressed tightly, “In my opinion, don’t go in, so as not to fall into Chu Heng’s trap.”

Qin Mujin was unwilling, “But we at least took the exam, I’ve prepared for two years now, how can I not see the result?”

“Can you even hold an official post in the Great Cheng Dynasty? What results are you looking for?” Qin Yu pinched her ear.

“Who says I can’t? I’m as tall as the men in the Great Cheng Dynasty, binding my chest and disguising myself, unless you’re my brother, can you tell I’m a woman?” Qin Mujin widened her eyes.

She simply didn’t like going back to the Wei Palace, even though her father pampered her and exempted her from many rules, but that restraining golden cage is nowhere as pleasurable as the officialdom.

She doesn’t want to marry off or ally or be sent as a peace emissary when she comes of age. She would rather pose as a man all her life, live freely wielding brush and ink!

Her mother said, people only live once, don’t seek grand riches and honors, but a fulfilling life.

Qin Yu picked her by the back of her neck, pulling her out of the crowd to take her away, but Qin Mujin struggled fiercely, and they bumped into a young lady while wrestling.

Qin Yu glared at Qin Mujin, had to let her go to first help the young lady on the ground.

Seeing her brother helping someone, Qin Mujin couldn’t help but laugh, “Brother, why are you so compassionate everywhere, loving and cherishing? Last time at the examination hall entrance, you also liked helping little girls.”

Last time was a plump girl, this time a thin one!

So thin, like a willow swaying in the wind, her waist seemed thinner than her brother’s thigh!

Zhuo Wenyuan was about to express gratitude, but upon hearing the brothers speak like this, she immediately shook off his hand and retreated several steps, looking at him with an expression of panic.

Qin Yu looked at his empty hand, inexplicably annoyed, “Miss, I’m not some pervert, don’t mind my brother’s nonsense! Did you get hurt when you fell just now?”

Zhuo Wenyuan’s face was pale, with her almond eyes full of an almost pitiful weakness.

She shook her head, “I didn’t get hurt, I just wanted… wanted to see the list for my brother, but…”

She seems to be unable to go in.

The examination hall permits only those who sat for the exam to enter.

Her brother is currently gambling at the Silver Moon Pavilion, too lazy to come see the list, leaving it to her.

Qin Yu glanced at the examination hall behind him, the examinees were reporting their names and entering one after another to check the list.

Seeing the young girl appear so fragile, as if she’d topple with a gust of wind, he felt a tender sympathy, and said, “What’s your brother’s name? I’m an examinee, I can go in and have a look at the list for you.”

“Really?” Zhuo Wenyuan’s eyes lit up, sparkling like a starry river.

She clasped her hands together, slightly bending her knees, “My brother’s name is Zhuo Qingyu, thank you, young master!”

“Which characters?” Qin Yu asked carefully.

Zhuo Wenyuan didn’t have pen and paper, so she had to take out her handkerchief, picked up a stone from the ground, scraped out some chalk, and wrote the words for Zhuo Qingyu on it, then handed it to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu could have remembered it with just a glance, but smelling the light fragrance from the young lady’s handkerchief, he directly took it, “I’ll help you look inside, and tell you when I come out.”

He walked away with Zhuo Wenyuan’s handkerchief, leaving her in stunned silence, “My handkerchief…”

He already knows the characters, why does he still need to look at her handkerchief for reference?
