Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 490 The Emperor's Impression of Lu Jianglin Hits the Bottom

In the capital alone, nearly 8,000 people took part in the exam. Among the 100 people who passed, this ranking was not low.

In the past, Lu Jianglin, his mother, and Lu Jiangyue would have been ecstatic and held a grand banquet for their guests!

But what do people fear the most? Competition!

Compared with the top scholar, what is an ordinary juren?

At this moment, the excitement in their hearts was greatly reduced, and there was an indescribable sense of loss...

"Master Jiang! Master Jiang is here!"

"What Young Master Jiang? Now you should call him Lord Jie Yuan!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Jie Yuan is here! Stop stopping me! I want to go over and see his talent!"

"..."

Jiang Lingzhou looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a light blue brocade robe, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like bright stars. Every move he made carried an air of transcendence, what a handsome young man in this world!

The only flaw is that he is thin and his face is a little pale, giving people a feeling of being sickly.

But in the eyes of many young ladies, this is not a shortcoming, but it is more likely to arouse their sympathy.

This year's champion is so young, handsome and talented. His elegant and elegant air has attracted many girls.

For a moment, many brave ladies threw sachets, handkerchiefs and other objects at Jiang Lingzhou, hoping that his gaze would linger on them for a short while.

Although sachets and jewelry are private items, scholars are loved and respected. The autumn examination is nothing, but after the spring examination, when the top three and second place are paraded on horseback, it is a lively scene!

After a round of shopping, the number of sachets hanging on the body of the Tanhua Lang is so large that it is hard to count them...

People don't compare themselves with people who are too different from themselves. If Lu Jianglin was just an ordinary scholar, looking at Jiang Lingzhou who was praised by many people, he would only envy him, but would not have any other emotions.

But before today, under the influence of Shen Nanqiao's words, Lu Jianglin always believed that the top prize was in his pocket.

Looking at the glorious Jiang Lingzhou at this moment, he couldn't help but feel that his own glory was snatched away by others!

Not only Lu Jianglin's expression became increasingly ugly.

Lu Jiangyue was both envious and regretful.

If her brother becomes Lord Li Yuan, her status will also rise!

Lu Jiangyue couldn't even imagine what a good marriage she would be able to find by then.

But now, there is nothing!

Can the sister of an ordinary juren be compared with the sister of the top scholar?

Mother Lu even started to wipe away her tears: "My son's position as the top scholar!"

"Mr. Jie Yuan should have been my son, how could this happen?"

The person who could not accept it the most was Shen Nanqiao!

Especially the more lively Jiang Lingzhou's side was, the more miserable her situation seemed.

She should have become the wife of the top scholar today, surrounded and complimented by countless people. What went wrong? !

So, what on earth had she been expecting for over a year? !

Mother was waiting for Lu Lang to pass the imperial examination every day, so that she could be proud of herself! But now...

Just at this moment, some sharp-eyed neighbors saw Shen Nanqiao and his family.

Normally, they couldn't stand it. The results of the autumn exam hadn't come out yet, but Shen Nanqiao was already shouting outside every day that she wanted to be the wife of the top scholar. She was so proud that she didn't take them seriously at all.

At this moment, they finally got the chance to mock her, how could they let it go?

"Yo!"

A woman with a sarcastic look glanced at Shen Nanqiao from head to toe, and suddenly she covered her mouth and laughed, "Isn't this our Lady Jie Yuan? Your husband has become Lord Jie Yuan, shouldn't you be happy? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Another person chimed in, "Mrs. Jie Yuan? I heard that Mr. Jie Yuan, Master Lu, hasn't married yet, so where did he get a wife from?"

"Some people have been boasting every day these days that they are going to be the wife of the top scholar. How come they can't say a word now?"

"The results of the autumn examination haven't even come out yet, and you've already made such a big statement. Does it hurt to be slapped in the face now? How shameful! If I were her, I'd quickly find a hole in the ground to crawl into!"

"..."

They naturally did not dare to ridicule the daughter of a first-rank official. However, the Zhou Dynasty was very particular about the status of women after marriage, and they all followed their husband's family.

Lu Jianglin doesn't even hold an official position now, and Shen Nanqiao can't squeeze into the circle of noble ladies at all. She can only deal with common women every day.

Listening to their sarcastic tone and looking at their sneering expressions, Shen Nanqiao felt embarrassed and irritated, his chest heaving with anger.

She was so excited that her eyes rolled back and she fainted!

Lu Jiangyue said with an unpleasant expression: "What bad luck!"

"You just made such a big statement, and now you're embarrassing us!"

"Both are daughters of the Shen family, why is there such a big gap between my sister-in-law and Concubine Xian?"

Lu Jianglin still wanted to save face when he was outside, so he said gloomily, "Say less and carry her back first."

Otherwise, he would be embarrassed and thrown into the streets, and he would not be able to live as a human being anymore...

The four of them came here with great expectations and enthusiasm, but left in despair...

Wangbang Tower.

In the private room on the third floor.

The two guards sent by Zhan Weiran reported every detail of the conversation between Shen Nanqiao's family.

Not only was everyone speechless.

Even Nangong Xuanyu looked at Shen Zhinian with a look of amusement and tears: "Your elder sister's personality is very different from yours."

Shen Zhinian couldn't help but think in her heart that if they hadn't been reborn, according to the original trajectory, the person who entered the palace should have been Shen Nanqiao.

That’s not her elder sister, that’s his Concubine Shen!

Shen Zhinian silently picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "My eldest sister has been taught by Madam Zhou since she was young. Maybe there is something special about Madam Zhou..."

Ever since Nangong Xuanyu asked Shen Maoxue to make Shen Zhinian's mother his co-wife and posthumously conferred her the title of Imperial Concubine, Shen Zhinian only called his mother "Mother" and called Zhou "Mrs. Zhou".

Nangong Xuanyu was actually somewhat relieved at this moment. Fortunately, Nian Nian was not favored in the Shen family and had been growing up in a quiet corner of her own courtyard.

If she was taught by Zhou like Shen Nanqiao, he couldn't imagine what kind of personality Nian Nian would have now...

It has to be said that after this incident, the emperor's impression of the Lu family has fallen to the bottom.

Although Lu Jianglin has some talent, there are so many scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and what they lack most is talented people. His talent is not enough to break the emperor's prejudice against him today.

But Jiang Lingzhou... When Nangong Xuanyu's gaze fell on him, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Who is this year's champion?"

Knowing that His Majesty would ask, Li Changde had already sent people to find out the origins and identities of the top three.
