"You don't know?" Xiao Guangzhao asked.
Pei Qin nodded, "I've heard some rumors, but I've been busy making fireworks lately, so the only free time I had was during meals and restroom breaks; I haven't paid attention to the rumors outside."
Seeing her confused look, Xiao Guangzhao's mouth twitched as he raised the matter of Jian Xiao, "... The officials at the Imperial Court are causing trouble, demanding that Pei Wendong be stripped of his scholarly title, strictly forbidding him from taking part in the imperial examination. It's really troubling for me to have to protect you!"
After saying this, if Pei Qin had been perceptive, she should have voluntarily suggested that Pei Wendong not participate in the examination. With the Emperor supporting him, although he wouldn't be able to hold office, he would still lead a prosperous life! Most importantly, Pei Wendong needed to take responsibility for Princess Xiyun and marry the Deposed Prince's daughter.
