Chapter 368: Special Agent 363 has turned into a commoner (9) at the fourth update

Here they come!

Ye Shaoming and the others, seeing Yang Ziji in such a state, couldn’t help but smile inwardly.

They were waiting for Yang Ziji to explode in anger — it would be perfect to see Ye Shaohua’s hand wasted!

"Brother Ziji, this is the fourth son of Lord Ye..." At this time, the Third Prince had already gotten to know Ye Jin, and therefore he knew a bit about Ye Shaohua, whom he also disliked immensely.

Yang Ziji waved away the Third Prince’s hand, his face flushed with excitement, completely ignoring the Third Prince.

Ye Qingweng watched, his mind going blank.

It’s over!

He thought.

Meanwhile, the other noble disciples closed their eyes, thinking to themselves that the young general was still as bloodthirsty as ever.

However, after waiting a long while, they did not see Yang Ziji draw his sword.

"Fourth Master, I was just saying that I’ve been looking for you at your estate recently, and you were nowhere to be found. Turns out you were also in the Imperial City!" Yang Ziji showed no intention of drawing his sword. Instead, he even saw Ye Shaohua standing there and poured her a cup of hot tea, "Here, let me hold the birdcage for you, Fourth Master. Where have you been lately? Give me a place to find you, otherwise Aunt Mei might even miss me. When will you have time?"

Ye Shaohua handed the birdcage to him, looking at Ye Shaoming with an almost smiling expression, then glanced at Yang Ziji, "I need to prepare for the Imperial Examination for the time being and don’t have time. What do you want from me?"

"The Imperial Examination?" Yang Ziji looked at Ye Shaohua as if he was going to participate in the Imperial Examination, his face showing surprise, "You can’t be serious, you’re going to take part in the Imperial Examination? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Ye Shaohua narrowed her eyes and it didn’t take long for her to remember which matter Yang Ziji was referring to.

She put down her teacup, took the birdcage from Yang Ziji’s hand, "I remember now; let’s wait until after I’ve participated in the Imperial Examination."

"Third Prince, I have another banquet to attend, so I’m going to leave first." Originally, Ye Shaohua wanted to see what kind of tricks Ye Shaoming had up his sleeve.

But having seen Yang Ziji, she knew there wouldn’t be anything interesting happening today.

Without further ado, she left.

Seeing her agree, Yang Ziji did not stop her, though he wouldn’t have dared to anyway.

He turned back to look at the Third Prince with a sizzling glance.

"Third Prince, I never expected you could actually invite the Fourth Master here. In view of this favor, I’ll agree to the matter you mentioned," Yang Ziji patted the Third Prince’s shoulder, "Since you are the Fourth Master’s friend, you are also my friend from now on. If there’s anything you need in the future, just come to me!"

The people present were shocked at Yang Ziji’s behavior.

Not to mention Ye Shaoming and Ye Qingweng, even the Third Prince changed his expression several times.

In the Imperial City, apart from the Emperor, even Yang Ziji’s own father couldn’t make him sell face.

This was the first time they’d seen Yang Ziji show such an attitude towards anyone, calling them "Fourth Master" over and over.

Who was this esteemed "Fourth Master" who had managed to make Yang Ziji refer to them as such?

Just who was this "Fourth Master"?

The people present were full of thoughts.

Originally there to watch the excitement, they didn’t expect the situation would turn into a thriller instead.

"Lord Ye," the Third Prince personally escorted Ye Qingweng to the carriage with utmost politeness, "I apologize for the unsatisfactory hospitality today; I shall visit you another day."

Ye Qingweng was flattered beyond belief.

But he also knew, the Third Prince’s respect was surely because of Ye Shaohua’s face.

After today, Ye Qingweng started to treat Aunt Mei better.

After all, Ye Shaohua was acquainted with Yang Ziji.

The members of the Ye Family clenched their teeth in frustration.

Finally, the next spring’s Imperial Examination arrived.

The Ye Family, seeing Aunt Mei advise Ye Shaohua at the other carriage, couldn’t help but sneer, "With his year of wining and dining, he really dares to attend the imperial meet and might even dream of becoming the Number One Scholar? Just let him keep dreaming!"

Ye Shaoming nodded, "Mother, rest assured, your son will definitely not let you down."

He was well aware of how much his father had favored his younger brother this year, but now the examination had finally arrived. It wasn’t just any ordinary Rural Examination; this time his little brother wouldn’t be so lucky!

His brother’s stroke of luck was about to run out.

The examination lasted several days, an ordeal for the frail scholars.

The Ye Family and Aunt Mei were closely following the event. Halfway through, they saw several students being carried out with fevers, which caused them great worry.

Finally, when the time came, both Ye Shaohua and Ye Shaoming had finished their exams and came out along with a host of students.

Aunt Mei, seeing Ye Shaohua still looking as usual, graceful and holding an unfolded fan, handsome beyond compare,

caused several passing maidens to blush and avert their gaze.

Aunt Mei immediately felt relieved.

On the other hand, Ye Shaoming did not fare as well as Ye Shaohua; his spirits had been highly strung for several days, leaving him haggard and without his usual handsomeness, just like the other scholars.

"Madam, looking at Fourth Master’s state, he probably slept through the Exam Venue until now, completely missing the exam," the butler remarked while observing Ye Shaohua’s side, his gaze lowering, "It seems you don’t need to worry about Aunt Mei’s side anymore."

Upon hearing this, both Ye Shaoming and the Ye Family felt this must be true.

After all, they had been inside for several days, confined to a small cubicle without the chance to wash or anything, and had to go through several rounds of essay writing—how could anyone maintain such a good appearance?

Ye Shaohua’s energetic appearance would certainly raise suspicions.

Especially since Ye Shaohua had done nothing but indulge in pleasures over the past year and hardly been seen reading, the Ye Family felt even more assured.

Upon returning home, the old lady and others all gathered around Ye Shaoming to praise him, then instructed him to rest well and wait for the announcement of the results.

As for Ye Shaohua, seeing that he was still full of vigor, the old lady merely asked indifferently.

Ye Shaohua just smiled and said nothing.

Soon, half a month passed, and the day of the results announcement arrived.

The Ye Family sent someone early to wait for the imperial list.

It seemed that Ye Shaohua had gone out again, while only Ye Shaoming was anxiously waiting in the hall for the joyous news to arrive.

Seeing Aunt Mei also waiting for the news, he couldn’t help but smile behind his hand, "Aunt Mei, why are you here?"

This time her son wouldn’t be so fortunate.

The other wives also chuckled.

Ye Jin simply glanced at Aunt Mei without intending to strike up a conversation.

As they were speaking, the messenger bearing good news arrived.

"A messenger from the Government Office bearing good news? It must be for my Ming-er securing the top spot. Quickly, invite them in!" The old lady was beside herself with excitement.
