The autumn examination that determined the fate of the students began with the sound of the gong. The examination hall that was the size of a square was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. Many students were answering questions in a small space. They were either biting their pens and thinking hard or writing quickly. A solemn and tense atmosphere enveloped the examination hall. In front of the examination hall, Gu Moxi, the Prime Minister and the head of the Ministry of Official Personnel were sitting in front of three desks, surrounded by a different atmosphere.
Now, everyone knew that King Jing, Gu Moxi, doted on his pet black cat. The Prime Minister and the official in charge of the Ministry of Official Personnel knew this even more clearly. Think about it, which one of the high and mighty Emperor Gu Moran or King Wu Gu Moyan would bring a pet to court? But this King Jing would. He even fed the black cat in the meeting hall openly, not caring about the so-called rules at all. Now, the Prime Minister was turning a blind eye to him bringing the black cat to the examination hall to supervise the exam. The manager of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.
Gu Mo Xi saw the disdain in his eyes from the corner of her eyes. She gently stroked the black cat sleeping soundly in her arms with her warm palm and sneered at his hypocrisy. He could only show his attitude when he was advising. How could such an official be used? He was obviously afraid of his identity as a prince. In this case, he should put away his dissatisfaction on the surface.
The black cat curled up in the warm embrace and wriggled its body. Its chubby paws pressed against its forearm, and it shook its furry little head to chase away the remaining sleepiness. It yawned lazily and walked to the desk in front of it. It lifted its paws to knock off the lid of the teacup and bent down to lick the hot water.
The Prime Minister on the left was stunned. He felt that King Jing, this black cat, was quite magical. It was no wonder that his highness doted on it so much that his dissatisfaction with it had subsided quite a bit.
On the right, the manager of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs snorted coldly in disdain. So what if he had intelligence? In the end, he was just an unranked beast.
After Lan Xi finished drinking the water, she lazily returned to Gu Moxi's arms and curled into a ball. She was still sleeping during the day and going out at night. She slept most of the time during the day and went to the garden to cultivate with spiritual energy after dark. Gu Moxi would sometimes go to the garden to check if she was there when she woke up. This situation lasted for two days, but the cat's eye never looked up at him. Even if he forced it, it did not succeed, and he did not speak again.
The reason was the kiss that day. Although Lan Xi had no emotional experience, it did not mean that she had no EQ. She could vaguely sense that Gu Moxi had different feelings for her. She had never encountered such a situation and did not know what to do. She could only avoid her eyes. Perhaps she should leave King Jing's Imperial Residence as soon as possible, but she could not bear to part with the rich spiritual aura.
It was not that she had not heard of love between humans and demons in the Demon Realm for three thousand years. Lan Xi had even witnessed it with her own eyes. It was precisely because she had seen such a bloody example that she did not dare to try it. The female demon was willing to sacrifice her inner core to save a human man. She had lost two thousand years of hard work and ended up being reduced to ashes in exchange for a few years of her lover's life. In her opinion, it was not worth it. And in those stories and moving legends, which love between humans and demons had a happy ending? Humans, ghosts, immortals, demons, demons. No matter which clan it was, it would be difficult for them to accept the union. She really did not want to end up in a miserable state.
Gu Mo Xi didn't know what the black cat was thinking. She only sighed that it had been shy for a long time. She was looking forward to it becoming a human and loving him. The hand that stroked the black cat couldn't help but become gentler. The smile on her face was radiant and instantly took away the surrounding light.
Two hours later, Lan Xi scratched her head in frustration. She opened her ink-black cat eyes in frustration. She could not fall asleep. She jumped onto the desk and lay down softly. Her forelimbs were crossed in a lazy posture. Her unfathomable eyes swept across the examination hall. The stone wall that blocked her vision became transparent in her eyes, and the situation inside was clearly displayed.
A plate of sweet-smelling osmanthus cakes appeared in her line of sight. Pure spiritual energy surrounded the cakes, which were obviously produced by the Imperial Residence of King Jing. Behind her, a man's words of indulgence and love came from behind. His pleasant voice seeped into Lan Xi's ears like spring water." Xi 'er, if you're hungry, eat it. It's very fresh this morning."”
Lan Xi was indeed a little hungry. Coupled with the spiritual energy in the pastries, she did not hesitate and immediately lowered her head to eat the osmanthus cake.
This shocked the Prime Minister again. A black cat eating pastries? His murky but bright eyes turned to King Jing, Gu Moxi. Seeing his warm smile as he watched the black cat eat, he was a little surprised. His right hand stroked his goatee and a strange arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. No one could guess what he was thinking.
The fragrance of the osmanthus cake lingered on her lips and teeth. The pure spiritual energy was also absorbed by Lan Xi. She lowered her gaze to block the light that flashed past. She quietly watched the small movements of the examinee in the middle of the examination hall. The examinee had the appearance of a nouveau riche. At this moment, he was holding a wolf-hair brush in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other. He looked at it for a while before writing on the paper for a while.
Lan Xi smiled coldly. For the first time in two days, she looked up at Gu Mo Xi and gave him a look to follow her. She jumped off the desk and walked towards the examinee with elegant cat-like steps.
Gu Mo Xi's eyes turned cold. He understood the black cat's intention and got up to follow. The Prime Minister and the official in charge of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs only said that he had chased after the cat and did not move. No one knew what he was thinking.
Martial arts practitioners could restrain their inner breath. Gu Mo Xi's martial arts skills were outstanding, so she didn't make a single sound when she stepped on the ground. Cats walked soundlessly. One man and one cat quietly came to the third row of the examination hall, the tenth seat. The surrounding examinees stopped answering questions and cast their attention. They also found that the examinee cheated, and each of them revealed a gloating expression. The examination hall was like a battlefield, so naturally, the fewer enemies, the better.
Gu Mo Xi quietly watched for a while, and indeed saw the examinee knock on the table after cheating.
The examinee was secretly pleased with himself when suddenly, a hand knocked on the stage, causing his face to turn pale in fright. He quickly raised his head and saw King Jing in front of him, but he hung his head down tightly and did not dare to raise it. His mind was only filled with the question," When did King Jing come over?"
Coincidentally, the invigilator passed by and saw Gu Mo Xi. He quickly came over and asked seriously," Your Highness, what's the matter?”
"Chase him out of the examination hall and disqualify him for life.”Gu Mo Xi lowered her head out of habit but didn't see the black cat. She looked up and asked," Have you seen this king's black cat?"”This time, it was not difficult to detect the nervousness and worry in his expression.
The official looked around before replying," Your Highness, no.”
Gu Mo Xi looked at the examinees next to him and saw that they also shook their heads and didn't stay any longer. He personally searched the examination hall. Although he looked like he was searching for examinees who cheated, he had to say that his acting was good. In fact, who could see the nervousness in his heart.
Yes, Lan Xi had said that she would not leave for the time being, but Gu Moxi was worried that she would not be able to see it again when she opened her eyes one day. This worry was unfounded and could not be explained clearly. Especially after the black cat left last time, he only wanted to keep her in his sight. Therefore, when he woke up in the middle of the night and did not see her, he would look for her in the garden until he saw her sleeping there.
Gu Mo Xi was a little anxious after looking around and not finding it. If it wasn't for the exam, the examiner couldn't leave his post and he would have left without a care. At this time, he could only pretend that nothing was wrong and return to his seat. However, when he saw the black cat lying on the desk, the worry in his heart instantly dissipated. His sexy thin lips curled into a smile and he took big steps to sit down and continue the invigilation.
The sun in the sky gradually moved to the center. The first exam was over and the nine examiners kept the collected exam papers. After the three exams were over, King Jing, the Prime Minister, and the chief official of the Ministry of Official Personnel would read them together. 99 examinees rushed out of the exam hall as they came, asking each other about their feelings for the exam. They even chased one of the examinees out of the exam hall after King Jing found out that he had cheated. For a time, there was a wave of praise for Gu Moxi. The examinee who was chased out of the exam hall had already left dejectedly. He did not know where he had gone.
Before going to bed at night, Gu Mo Xi asked the black cat how he discovered the cheating examinee. Because the stone wall blocked his view, the black cat ignored him and had no intention of answering. The charming phoenix eyes suddenly dimmed a bit, and then immediately burst into a dazzling light.
The second round of the exam was scheduled for the next day, so the examinees had a day to rest and prepare. The next day, in the court, His Majesty Gu Moran heard King Jing praise the examinees for their cheating. Gu Moxi did not claim credit for it, but directly said that it was the black cat in her arms, causing everyone present to be at a loss for words.
Gu Moran and Gu Moyan quickly looked at each other. Gu Moxi naturally wouldn't lie to them, but he should also consider the situation. A cat would catch a candidate cheating, who would believe it?
Little did they know that the Prime Minister had seen their exchange of glances. He narrowed his bright eyes and looked at the black cat in Gu Mo Xi's arms. No one could understand the meaning behind it.
Most of the other officials did not believe him, but they were puzzled as to why King Jing would say such a thing. Even if he did not want to take credit for it, there was no need to push it to the black cat. It seemed that ever since it appeared, they had become more and more confused about King Jing's conduct.
After the morning court session, Gu Moxi was once again called to the royal study by her elder brother. He knew the reason for this, and his third brother, Gu Moyan, was also there. On the way to the royal study, Gu Moyan repeatedly asked if the words were true. After getting the affirmation of his second brother, he became more and more unlucky. Why couldn't he meet such a spiritual pet? Or perhaps he should have forcefully adopted it.
In the royal study, Gu Moan arrived first. When the two brothers came in, he was changing out of the palace's plain clothes. Gu Moxi and Gu Moyan looked at each other and understood that their big brother was going to go out of the palace in plain clothes again. This was already a common occurrence for them, so they took the clothes that the palace servants had prepared earlier to change. Don't doubt, there were still a few plain clothes in the palace.
The three brothers successfully left the palace and came to the street. Their different but equally outstanding charms immediately attracted the eyes of the opposite sex. They rarely saw Gu Moran and didn't know him, but who didn't know Gu Moxi and Gu Moyan? They were sure about the black cat in Gu Moxi's arms.
The three brothers were unmoved by the countless burning gazes around them. They had grown up under such gazes and were already used to it. They found the most lively teahouse and sat down, listening to various topics as they chatted.
After listening for a while, Gu Moran and Gu Moyan looked at the man opposite them with amusement. They saw that his expression was as usual as if he had not heard anything. They could not help but feel a little disappointed. After all, they were all saying that the reason why King Jing did not have a woman was because of his pet black cat. It sounded ridiculous. They knew that the black cat had only appeared for a month, and their second brother had no intention of taking a woman into the palace.
Suddenly, someone revealed that Gu Moxi had pushed the credit to the black cat in the morning court. The teahouse once again set off a heated discussion. As for the good or bad of this discussion, it did not enter the black cat's ears. It was comfortably nestled in Gu Moxi's warm embrace and sleeping soundly.
