The imperial guards had already sealed up and secured the whole imperial street, even so, it was still impossible to resist the enthusiasm of the crowd. People kept rus.h.i.+ng in, and the imperial guards had no choice but to use themselves as embankments to stop them.

It was just, they might have stopped the people, but not the things in their hands.

Originally, people came for An Junw.a.n.g, but who would have thought that the new Zhuangyuan was so beautiful! Was this really a person? You guys sure he wasn’t a celestial being who descended on earth? Was he not really ? So this was the world’s renowned number one scholar?

"Zhuangyuan! Look at me!"

"Zhuangyuan! Look here!"

A brave girl cried out at the top of her voice.

There were also people shouting for An Junw.a.n.g, but it sounded a little different.

They called out to the Zhuangyuan and Tanhua very smoothly, but when it was the Bangyan’s turn... Why did it sound so weird?

It was unknown whether the girl was too nervous or her speech was just naturally slurred, she suddenly opened her mouth and shouted "White-eyed wolf", making An Junw.a.n.g's face as black as a charcoal on the spot! [T/N: The chinese word for white-eyed wolf, which means thankless wretched or ingrate, sounds similar to bangyan.]

Feng Lin wasn’t very happy at first, but in the midst of cheers and congratulations from people, he suddenly felt his blood boiling with excitement. What was a brilliant facade? This was it.

So what if he was just a Tong Jins.h.i.+? All the people in the capital still came to celebrate them. This simply made all their hards.h.i.+ps worth it.

Suddenly, a perfume sachet fell into Feng Lin's arms.

Feng Lin was surprised at first, then picked up the perfume sachet and looked in the direction where it flew from.

"Up here!"

A girl with a veil on her face waved at him.

Feng Lin's face turned red at once.

Growing up, this was the first time that a girl had given him something.

Studying was really the answer, pa.s.sing the exam and becoming a Jins.h.i.+ was really the right way to go.

There was only one new Zhuangyuan, and only one An Junw.a.n.g. Not everyone was able to scramble up to them, so others simply went to target other Jins.h.i.+ such as Feng Lin. Feng Lin was. .h.i.t by the perfume sachets thrown by the ladies several times, turning his face as red as a monkey's b.u.t.t, which caused the girls to laugh.

A lot of perfume sachets also fell on An Junw.a.n.g's body. He didn't pick up any of them deliberately, but he didn't throw them away either.

"Give it to me if you don't want it." Ning Zhiyuan, who was riding beside him, reached for the perfume sachet on his saddle. "These are all good fabrics and can be sold for a lot of money."

An Junw.a.n.g：“…”

Xiao Liulang received the most perfume sachets, but he did not want any of them, so he threw them away unceremoniously. He kept a cold face the whole time, which really crushed the hearts of the young ladies!

This year's Zhuangyuan was so hard to hook up with!

These young ladies did not necessarily want to do anything out of line. It was just that this was the Zhuangyuan's parade’s tradition. It was best if the Jins.h.i.+ accepted your good feelings, but if not, it was also good to just have fun.

Xiao Liulang was a little absent-minded.

So many women came to see him, but why didn't she come?

Though he told her not to wait for the release of the list before he left in the morning, did she really not come to see it in the end?

At that time, he hesitated. He actually wanted to tell her that the new Zhuangyuan would lead the Jins.h.i.+ to a parade in the streets, but he was so thin-skinned that he ultimately didn't say a word.

That’s right.

She wasn’t originally a girl from the capital, so she didn't know there would be such a parade.

That was why she didn't come.

Anyway, so what if she came?

Did he want her to see him?

No.

He answered no in his head, and yet his hands clenched the reins tightly and his head looked slowly toward both sides of the street; first at the crowd below, and then at the private rooms on the second floor of the shops.

"The Zhuangyuan looked at me! He looked at me!"

"Nonsense! He was clearly looking at me!"

"It’s me!"

"Zhuangyuan——"

Just a small glance led to a terrible commotion, so much so that the imperial guards barely stopped the crowd as dozens of perfume sachets suddenly flew in. Xiao Liulang's body shook, and he dared not look into the crowd again.

She really didn't come.

Ridiculous, what was he so disappointed about?

Pah!

Another perfume sachet landed firmly on his saddle. Without looking, he planned to throw it away, but as soon as he picked it up, he felt something was amiss.

He paused and examined the perfume sachet in his hand. The st.i.tches were fine, but the thread was outside.

His heart shook. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at a teahouse to his right.

He tightened his grip on the reins all of a sudden which caused the horse to a halt.

No Jins.h.i.+ could walk in front of the new Zhuangyuan.

As soon as he stopped, all the Jins.h.i.+ behind him had to stop too.

Even the imperial guards responsible for escorting them along the way had to stop as well. The whole procession, the whole street, all stopped for one person.

Holding the perfume sachet in his hand, Xiao Liulang looked at the girl in the teahouse.

The girl wore a dark colored dress as usual and had a slender figure and picturesque eyes. The red birthmark on her left face was like a cloud on the horizon, but was also like a piece of begonia petal falling in the wind. It was such a splendid sight, able to reach people’s hearts.

Gu Jiao leaned on the windowsill, looking at him with her chin resting on the palm of her hand, and her lips were slightly bent upwards.

Xiao Liulang's mood suddenly brightened up, and the coldness in his eyes melted away as he smiled back at her.

His expressionless face was already enough to make people go crazy, now that he smiled, they simply felt that the ice and snow melted, and everything regained their vitality as the warm morning light shone down upon them!

This breathtaking moment was difficult to transcribe into a book.

Not only the girls, but also the men lost their bearings.

After that, they saw Xiao Liulang hang the only perfume sachet he accepted today on his waist.

The young ladies were extremely jealous!

Zhuangyuan, were you not accepting perfume sachets from anyone? Why suddenly make an exception? Be fair and refuse everything to the end!!!

Also, why were you smiling? Don't smile ah!

Just when the girls thought this was enough to make them feel despair, something that gave them even more heartbreak happened.

The new Zhuangyuan actually removed the flower hairpin on his head which was given to him as an imperial gift.

People were stupefied. It couldn’t be, could it? The Zhuangyuan wasn’t going to give her the flower hairpin, was he?

No, no, no! They wouldn’t allow it!
