"Just follow the plan?" Lan Qingchu raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, just follow the plan." Ye Zuibi slowly unfolded his fan and covered his lip line, revealing only his slightly narrowed eyes. His eyes darkened little by little, and his voice sounded inch by inch, like a cold spring in an icy lake.

Generally speaking, "Our original intention is to make Her Majesty the Empress realize her wish and make Yan Junqing her husband. Since Her Majesty the Empress is unwilling, we cannot force it. But like the Marquis, I do not want any of the six young masters to be married."

To become the emperor's wife, we must prevent those six young masters from ascending to the top of the list."

Lan Qingchu looked at her intently for a while and asked suspiciously: "You're not even on the top of the list?"

The beautiful young man turned his head and looked back at him with delicate eyes like a woman, and then nodded very slowly: "The Marquis is the examiner for Enke. As long as the Marquis doesn't want to, they will never be able to go to high school."

"...His Highness is an important minister..." He hesitated, hesitated, and confirmed to Ye Zuibi: "Is the important minister changing his rank?"

The last question was asked so quietly that even Lan Qingchu felt his heart beat a little too fast. His Lan family was in charge of world articles and had never done anything like this. For this reason, the Lan family has been in charge of scientific examinations for generations...

...In other words, what Ye Zuibi said is absolutely true. As long as he wanted to, none of the six people could reach the top of the list.

But if this happens, won't the Lan family's century-old reputation be put to shame?

Is the price too high for a bet based on the Lan family's reputation?

Ye Zuibi noticed his worry, and closed the folding fan one by one, smiling brightly, "Master Hou, there is no need to change the ranking."

"...Why, does your Highness have any other ideas?"

She glanced at Lan Qingchu, tilted her head, and smiled sweetly, "As long as the number one scholar is not those six people, it doesn't matter who they are. I said this, Lord Marquis, do you understand?"

It turns out that he was asked to find a way to choose the No. 1 pick.

Lan Qingchu understood what Ye Zuibi meant, but at the same time he felt embarrassed, because the number one scholar was always appointed by the emperor. He could pull down those six people during the tribute examination and prevent them from having the opportunity to enter the palace examination, but he could not control it.

Who is Ye Jiangxue focusing on?

Ye Zuibi guessed Lan Qingchu's worries with just one glance. She lowered her eyes lightly, raised her lips slightly, and said in a slow and slow voice: "As long as the Marquis tells someone the test questions in advance, then this person will definitely become the number one scholar."

After she said this, Lan Qingchu stood up regardless of his expression. Under the wide aqua sleeves, he turned his wrist and turned the paulownia fan on his fingertips. His movements were smooth and flowing, and there was a sense of ease in them.

Paired with her weak appearance, it immediately reduced the femininity and added elegance.

"Whether you want to keep the Lan family safe, or whether you want your Majesty to marry the courtiers, it all depends on the Marquis's thoughts. I am waiting for good news." After saying this, she walked towards the palace gate, with her back turned to Lan Qingchu's eyes.

With a cunning twist, he quietly concealed a meaningful smile.

The Empress of the Southern Jin Dynasty, she had no choice but to take the bait of this cunning fish.

[Drag away the shady prime minister]

It is said that Ye Jiangxue finished announcing the imperial edict in court with great fanfare, but she didn't dare to look at Yan Junqing's face and sneaked back to Chaohuang Palace like a thief.

Biyun followed her with a look of gloating on her misfortune, and saw Ye Jiangxue first hiding in the imperial study room, then jumping up soon after, muttering to herself that it was not safe here, not safe, not safe, and then running away from the imperial study room.
