Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lin Xiaoyue felt her heart heat up, and she felt like she was about to sweat.
“Yes…” Then, she responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
Li Xiao was instantly shocked, thinking that he heard wrong.
After a long while, he asked with a dry throat, “so you agree?”
Lin Xiaoyue was embarra.s.sed.
“You heard wrong! Stop talking about this late at night, I’m going to sleep!”
After saying that, she broke free from Li Xiao and moved further away.
It was almost late autumn, and the weather was getting colder.
However, this fellow was like a furnace, too hot.
It was better for her to stay further away from him. It was cooler.
When Li Xiao heard this, he was not sad. Instead, he looked happy.
He quickly went over and pulled his wife into his arms again.
“I heard everything. In any case, you can’t go back on your word…” He said in satisfaction.
It wasn’t easy. After more than a year, he could finally get it.
“d.a.m.n it. It’s so hot, let go!” Lin Xiaoyue struggled as she was touched by the ball of fire again.
As she was embarra.s.sed and angry, she even cursed.
Li Xiao didn’t mind. Instead, he felt that his wife was getting cuter.
He still hugged Lin Xiaoyue tightly.
“Just get used to it…when winter comes, you should feel warm…”
“You…”
Outside the door, the plum garden gradually quieted down.
In the room, the tired people slowly fell asleep.
The next day.
When Lin Xiaoyue woke up, Li Xiao had already left.
At this moment, Zhao Shanshan also came from outside.
Zhao Shanshan entered the room when she heard a voice coming from inside.
She saw that Lin Xiaoyue had really gotten up.
Zhao Shanshan quickly came forward and helped Lin Xiaoyue change and wash up.
“Yesterday, the Imperial Advisor said that the palace examination has to begin in the morning. In addition, it will take some time to enter. After breakfast, you have to set off.”
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue responded cooperatively.
Since she had already decided to win this, she would do her best.
Zhao Shanshan was relieved when she saw this.
She quickly helped Lin Xiaoyue change and wash up. Then, she put on a more dignified makeup for her.
Looking at the dignified woman in the mirror, Lin Xiaoyue was satisfied.
This makeup covered up some of the childishness on her face, making her look a little older than her actual age.
This was just right. To her now, looking steay was more important.
Outside, breakfast was already prepared.
Lin Xiaoyue finished a bowl of porridge and two eggs and did not continue.
She had to eat before taking the exam, but eating too much might cause her brain to become sluggish and affect her performance.
Only by eating appropriately and even maintaining a small sense of hunger could she maintain her best condition.
“Let’s go.” After putting down the bowl, Lin Xiaoyue stood up.
“Yes.” Zhao Shanshan replied.
Then, she followed Lin Xiaoyue out of the room.
The two of them had just left the room when Li Xiao arrived.
When Li Xiao looked at Zhao Shanshan, she immediately understood and handed her young lady to her master before turning around and going back.
It is inconvenient to move around in the palace, so it is not appropriate to let too many people follow the young miss.
Since the master wanted to accompany the young miss, she could only stay in.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao and didn’t say anything.
Her husband had told her last night that he would find a way to meet his sister today.
And her partic.i.p.ation in the a.s.sessment was a good opportunity for him.
The husband and wife had a tacit understanding. After a while, they arrived at the front hall.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue realized that the Imperial Advisor, the Sixth
Princess, and Liang Chengcai were all waiting there.
An apologetic expression flashed across Lin Xiaoyue’s face as she hurriedly apologized for being late.
“It’s fine. We just arrived.” Liu Wuji said with a smile. His gaze deliberately stopped at Li Xiao, who was behind Lin Xiaoyue.
“Since everyone is here, let’s set off.”
“Yes.” Everyone replied.
Thus, Liu Wuji led everyone out of the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
Outside the manor, there was already a carriage waiting.
Everyone got on the carriage, and the coachman rode the horse towards the
Imperial Garden.
That’s right, Emperor Yan had set the location of this a.s.sessment at the
Imperial Garden and personally supervised it.
In the carriage, Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao looked at each other. They didn’t say a word and only communicated with their eyes.
A moment later, Li Xiao finally held Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“Don’t worry,” he said in a low voice.
The Imperial Garden was not far from the rear palace. In addition, he knew the location of his sister’s room, so it was not difficult to find it.
Lin Xiaoyue felt a little more at ease when her hand was held.
“Pay attention to the time. The test will only last for an hour and a half at most.
If the time is up, even if you can’t find sister, you have to retreat as soon as possible.” Lin Xiaoyue warned..
