Chapter 203 Answer
Jiang Qingyan patted her chest in a panic, muttering unhappily, "Who is it? Playing tag with me in the middle of the night? You scared me half to death!"
Having said that, she slowly raised her eyes to look at the man in black.
Under the moonlight, the man in black's features were somewhat blurred, but one could vaguely sense that he was an extremely handsome man, though slightly immature, suggesting he was not very old.
Jiang Qingyan narrowed her eyes, pinched her chin, and looked him up and down, finally nodding in satisfaction.
The man in black chuckled and said, "What? Not afraid now?"
Jiang Qingyan coughed lightly and said, "Little brother, if you were an ugly monster, I would definitely be scared, but you're so handsome... on a dark and windy night... and you're a lone man... you're the one who should be scared..."
The man in black sighed and rubbed his forehead, speechless. "You...you really are...shameless..."
Jiang Qingyan curled her lips, extended her index finger to lift the man in black's chin, and said with a hint of amusement, "Little brother, tell me, why did you secretly drag your older brother to a corner so late at night?"
The man in black grabbed Jiang Qingyan's index finger and narrowed his eyes slightly. "I'm here today to ask you for a title."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan yanked her index finger back from his hand, raised an eyebrow, and said, "What? You want me to give you a title? How can you be gay at such a young age? Stop messing around, listen to your brother, go home and get a wife, have a baby, and a family of three would be so... happy..."
Before she could finish speaking, the man in black suddenly leaned in and bit Jiang Qingyan's lips hard.
Jiang Qingyan stomped her feet in pain, raised her hand and gently touched it, seeing bloodstains on it. She then angrily shouted at the man in black, "Are you a pervert?! It hurts so much! I'm bleeding!"
The man in black glared at Jiang Qingyan. "Who told you to talk nonsense? This is your punishment for talking nonsense."
Jiang Qingyan said speechlessly, "What nonsense did I say? Someone like you, I wouldn't want even if you were given to me for free! Bye-bye!"
After saying that, she covered her lips and turned to leave.
The man in black crossed his arms, silently watching Jiang Qingyan's departing figure, and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile, "This woman really hasn't changed a bit..."
Meanwhile, Ling Feng had already taken a bath and was lying naked in bed waiting for Jiang Qingyan's arrival.
Jiang Qingyan arrived at Ling Feng's residence cursing all the way. Only when she reached the door did she manage to calm her agitated heart a little.
She gently pushed open the door. The pleasant scent of incense burning inside instantly lifted her spirits, and she strode to the bedside.
Seeing Jiang Qingyan finally arrive, Ling Feng slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said softly, "Husband, you've finally come..."
Seeing the incredibly alluring Ling Feng on the bed, Jiang Qingyan couldn't wait to take off all her clothes and quickly slip into bed...
After their lovemaking, Jiang Qingyan nestled in Ling Feng's arms, half-closing her eyes and murmuring, "Ling Feng, I encountered a man in black when I came here, but he didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me. Keep a close eye on him and see who he is."
Ling Feng put his arm around Jiang Qingyan's waist and softly replied, "Okay..."
The next day at dawn, as soon as Jiang Qingyan opened the door, she saw Mo Ting, Lu Nian, and Lin Zhijie standing together in Ling Feng's courtyard.
Seeing a handsome guy when you open the door should be a happy thing, but then you think about Lin Zhijie and Mo Yan...
Jiang Qingyan sighed helplessly, then walked straight to Mo Ting and Lu Nian, took one of their hands, and strode towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Lin Zhijie, who was left standing aside, felt a little embarrassed, but still quietly followed.
After all, one is the Empress and the other is a Noble Consort. Her husband only has two hands, so in terms of rank, he should indeed hold both of their hands...
However, if her husband had three hands... he would definitely hold hers!
After silently comforting himself for a while, Lin Zhijie's mood improved slightly, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Jiang Qingyan sat upright on the dragon throne, receiving the homage of civil and military officials.
She missed the morning court session yesterday due to poisoning, so the imperial examination for candidates was postponed to today.
As the chief eunuch announced the summons, the scholars began to enter the main hall one by one.
After all the scholars had entered the hall, they all knelt down and bowed to Jiang Qingyan, saying, "This humble subject greets Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
Jiang Qingyan smiled and said, "Rise."
The scholars replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then they all bowed their heads, stood up, and lined up in formation.
After scanning the room, Jiang Qingyan finally spotted Mu Zhiqiu, who looked calm, and Du Ziteng, who was nervously rubbing his sleeves, in the last row.
Jiang Qingyan coughed lightly and said, "Alright, now that everyone is here, I'll start with the questions~ Listen carefully, the first question: What kind of egg can be looked at but not eaten?"
Everyone was startled upon hearing this. What kind of question did the Emperor pose?
But after the initial surprise, they all began to think about it seriously…
A moment later, some people's faces began to flush slightly, and they even couldn't help but poke their lower backs...
Judging from their expressions, Jiang Qingyan already guessed that those people must have misunderstood...
She suppressed a laugh and asked, "Well? Can anyone answer this?"
Those few, their faces flushed, awkwardly pursed their lips; how were they supposed to answer that...?
Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle before asking again, "If no one answers, then this question is invalid... You'd better think carefully before throwing away this easy question..."
At this moment, a scholar, head bowed, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject... has found the answer..."
Although the person's head was lowered very low, Jiang Qingyan could still clearly see that the person's ears and hands were already red and purple.
Jiang Qingyan nodded and said, "Okay, then tell me your answer."
The scholar gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty...it is...it is...yin...yin eggs..."
Jiang Qingyan finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. She clutched her stomach and leaned on Mo Ting's shoulder, laughing so hard she could barely breathe...
The ministers below the stage also blushed, wanting to laugh but unable to...
The Emperor's question is really... her style...
Could it be... that the answer really is that thing?
At this moment, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out in the hall, "Your Majesty, I have another answer."
Jiang Qingyan raised her arm to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and slowly turned her head to look at the audience. The person speaking was none other than Mu Zhiqiu…
Jiang Qingyan quickly replied, "Alright, then tell me your answer."
