Chapter 173 Princess Saint Ann is clearly guilty!
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this man..."

"Don't worry, Prince Taifu!"

Knowing what the other party wanted to say, the prince waved his hand happily:
"What I said was 'go down' to claim the reward!"

You know so much, and you still want to live?

That must be impossible.

The prince emphasized the word "go down" and emphasized his tone. The prince's tutor immediately smiled knowingly:
"Your Highness has indeed been thoughtful. In this case, I, the old minister, would like to congratulate Your Highness first!"

"We have to celebrate!"

The suffocating feeling caused by Yun Shu a few days ago disappeared at this moment.

The prince was in high spirits, as if he had just won a battle:
"I thought Yun Shu was difficult to deal with, but it turns out he's just this tough!"

"Your Highness is right. Princess Sheng Ann was, after all, a little girl who was not taken seriously and did not even finish reading the Four Books and Five Classics. How can she be compared with Your Highness?"

The Prince's tutor agreed, but a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes.

Is Princess Saint Ann really so easy to deal with?
Could it be that the failure of the Empress and the Crown Prince's previous plans... were all due to her good luck?
He felt something was wrong, but he really couldn't think of any way Yun Shu could turn the situation around after all this.

Maybe he was just being overly concerned...

*
On the day of the Spring Examination, the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was crowded with candidates coming to take the examination.

As the chief examiner, Yun Shu was quite familiar with the environment here because he had personally brought people to inspect the situation in the Imperial Examination Hall a few days ago.

She was standing at the entrance, smiling as she watched the expectant candidates outside undergoing the inspection of their belongings.
Occasionally, she would see someone noticing her presence and bowing to her from a distance, and she would extend her hand and greet the other person happily.
The whole person looked very relaxed, which formed a sharp contrast with the Minister of Rites Li who was so nervous that he was sweating.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Princess Saint Ann seemed quite easy to talk to during the previous encounters.

They said he had worked in the Ministry of Rites for many years and had experience in organizing the Spring Examination.

But she was just a newbie who knew nothing, and it was inappropriate for her to give orders, so she just had to do everything he said and she just watched from the side.

As a result, when the Spring Examination officially started today, this girl started to act up!
Lord Li looked like he was about to cry:

"Are you sure it's okay to start letting these candidates enter the Imperial College half an hour in advance?"

"Master Li, this is the third time you have asked this question."

He raised his hand with a smile and greeted another candidate outside.
After replying to the same question three times, Yun Shu was too lazy to even reply again:

"Why, Lord Li, do you think that what I said before, that I have already reported this matter to the Emperor, is false?"

"I don't dare."

Minister Li immediately bowed his hands:
"I am just a little worried. After all, there has never been such a situation before. I am worried that if something goes wrong..."

"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, the first person to bear the brunt will be me, the examiner, not you."

Yun Shu raised his eyebrows:

“I know that Lord Li only wants to complete this task peacefully and does not want to cause any trouble.

But has Lord Li ever thought that there are some people who don't want this Spring Examination to be a success? " "Your Highness, be careful with your words!"

The Crown Prince recommended Princess Sheng An to preside over the Spring Examination. Who doesn't know that this is a battle between the two princes and princesses?
They are just playing deaf and dumb, pretending they know nothing.

Who would have thought that Yun Shu would suddenly come up and want to break through this disguise?
Minister Li was startled. He looked around and made sure that no one else heard what Yun Shu had just said to him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't even want to mention the matter of letting the candidates enter the examination room in advance. I just wanted to stay as far away from this living ancestor as possible and not say anything to him.

"Your Highness, I just remembered that I have other things to deal with, so I'll excuse myself now."

"Are you going to be busy now?"

Glancing at Minister Li's anxious back, Yun Shu deliberately raised his voice:

"Want to chat for a while?"

"..."

Minister Li fled even more hastily.

"Old fox!"

Without any surprise, Yun Shu looked away and snorted.
I continued to watch the candidates enter the Imperial Examination Hall in an orderly manner like a bystander.

Because of what she did during this period,
After the poor students guessed her identity, they were all very excited and treated her with even more respect.

The students from prominent families were unhappy when they saw her, but because of her status, they did not dare to show any negative emotions.

Overall, the scene looked very harmonious and friendly.

Except for one person——

Dou Jifei.

After recognizing that the "young lady from a rich family" whom he had approached with a little cat servant that day was actually the current Princess Sheng Ann,

He felt guilty at first, but then he was overjoyed.

He felt guilty because he suddenly realized that Princess Saint Ann appeared at Keats Home that day, probably because she had discovered the leak of the exam questions, and not to choose a prince consort!
As for ecstasy... didn't you see that Princess Saint Ann had someone announce this year's spring examination questions as the last questions of the "Five-Year Simulation" outside the Tianwaitian Restaurant the day before yesterday?

He didn’t understand why before, and even suspected that he had been deceived by the servant of the Cao family.

But now he understands.

Princess Saint Ann is clearly guilty!
She knew that the test questions she had leaked to the young master of the Tang family were leaked to more people.

So they just made the test questions public to everyone, so that even if someone later found out that the candidates who bought the test questions had obtained the test questions in advance,
It can also be said that someone guessed the topic correctly, but she herself was completely unaware of it.

Otherwise, she would not have announced the Spring Examination questions to the public as mock test questions!

However, he had already known today's test questions half a month in advance. This advantage was far beyond what other candidates who only knew the test questions two days in advance could achieve.

In other words, he will definitely be on the list of candidates in this spring's imperial examination!
By then, he will have become an official and will have the leverage over Princess Saint Ann in his hand. Why would he not be able to rise to prominence?
The more Dou Jifei thought about it, the more excited he became. After checking the belongings, he bowed to Yun Shu from a distance, just like the other poor students, and smiled, which he thought was a gentleman's smile.

Yun Shu: “……?”

Is this myopia or face blindness?
It's impossible that he recognized her and still dared to hang around under her nose so blatantly?
