The verbal edict was announced.
Chen Yi's world turned upside down.
What had he ever done to deserve the attention of the Emperor of Great Wei, let alone be granted special permission to participate in the imperial examinations?
It wasn't until Xiao Yuan had Xiao Wan'er arrange seats for Feng Erbao and his retinue, and Xiao Jinghong came to his side, that he finally snapped out of it.
Xiao Jinghong studied him for a moment before asking, "You seem... unhappy, my husband?"
Chen Yi grunted in affirmation and said bluntly, "If I told you I don't want to take the imperial examinations and I don't want to be an official, would you believe me?"
Upon hearing this, a serious look appeared in Xiao Jinghong's eyes.
After a moment of thought, she parted her red lips. "I believe you."
Chen Yi looked at her, certain this time that she wasn't being sarcastic.
He couldn't help but smile. "I'm serious. If it's possible, can I just be a carefree, live-in son-in-law here in the mansion?"
