Chapter 182 Two People Deal with It
"I am not very talented, but I have passed the imperial examination and become a Juren."
"Wow, a scholar who has passed the imperial examination!" exclaimed Wu Shi, who was standing nearby, as he took the lotus seeds handed to him by the waiter.
As expected, Jiang Zhi praised, "Congratulations, Young Master Min."
“Not at all,” Min Xiang retorted instinctively, “that young master who went to the exam with us was truly remarkable. He topped the list, his name is Ren Shuying, and he was indeed outstanding among everyone.”
Jiang Zhi looked up when she heard that familiar name.
Min continued, "His appearance is comparable to that of Pan An."
Jiang Zhi smiled and asked, "Ren Shuying?"
"Did he leave any traces afterward?" Jiang Zhi asked him.
Speaking of him, Min wanted to recount everything he had learned: "I had a strange connection with this young master."
On the night before the exam, Min Xiang was so nervous that she kept tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. So she stared at the moon outside and unconsciously thought of Min Youxiang.
He knew his younger brother was doing well, but after all, he was his own brother, so how could he not worry? Besides, he worked so hard so that his brother could have a better life.
Perhaps because of this thought, he felt uncertain and stared blankly at the moon, trying to come up with some kind of answer.
Ren Shuying came up behind him and told him, "Doing your best is the best outcome. Even starting over is not a bad thing; what you need is the courage to start again."
They didn't need much conversation; just this one sentence was enough for Min to understand.
Jiang Zhi picked up a lotus seed from the table and slowly peeled it open. "Fate is truly wondrous."
"And then what?" Jiang Zhi asked curiously.
"Later, I also heard from others that he seemed to have a master guiding him, and that he was appreciated by His Majesty for his talent and was given an official position."
Jiang Zhixiao: "A master?"
Seeing her smile, Min Xiang looked puzzled. "Does the Princess know her?"
“Of course I don’t know,” Jiang Zhi said. “I’m just a little curious. I wonder how this expert could be so powerful and knowledgeable.”
Min lowered her eyes.
"It's because Young Master Ren himself deserves it."
Jiang Zhi sensed the disappointment in his tone, "Being able to pass the imperial examination is the mark of an outstanding person, so why be secretly sad?"
She casually uttered some unusual words: "In history, few talented people could rival the emperor. Even if they could, what difference would it make? Those who only care about their own merits and those who change their allegiance according to the wind will eventually become your supporters."
Min blinked.
Yes, he didn't understand.
Of course, Jiang Zhi wasn't just saying this to him.
"What brings Prince Pei to my Liang Prince's residence today?" Gu Liang asked coldly from his desk.
"What makes you say that, Your Highness?"
"You skip the morning court session and come to my residence. Speak, what brings you here?"
Gu Liang didn't want to waste any more words.
“Yes.” Pei Shangdao carefully chose his words. “Your Highness, the Prince of Liang is indeed wise. Then I will get straight to the point.”
"Has Your Highness not thought about your future?"
Gu Liang put down her pen and looked up.
"Is it for me, or..."
"For the sake of the Crown Prince."
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable.
Pei Shangdao remained calm and shook his head, "Your Highness is being too polite."
As he spoke, he took another step forward, "We are brothers-in-law, after all. Why are you speaking so formally? Besides, I am only thinking of Your Highness. Your Highness is not considering your own future."
"Hasn't Your Highness considered that the future Princess Liang will also need to find a way to survive?"
Was he being sincere?
"Oh?" Gu Liang continued to act. "Isn't the path I'm taking the path of life? I'm not dead yet, how would I know how to walk the path of death?"
“Your Highness, don’t speak too definitively,” Pei Shangdao replied.
