Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 206
Jiang Changning didn't care at all whether the Zhuang family and the Daijian County government were married or not. For her, the affairs of the two families were just gossip to kill time.

Jin Wang left early and returned late, and the husband and wife have been unable to speak for several days.

On this day, Jin Wang Shen Shizheng came back. Hearing the sound, Jiang Changning greeted him, "My lord, you are back!"

"Are you and the child all right these few days?" King Jin asked with concern.

"We're doing well. It's delicious to eat." Jiang Changning didn't have the morning sickness that pregnant women often have. He ate well and slept soundly. Seeing King Jin's tired face, "Your Majesty has worked hard, do you want to go to the Yamen soon?"

"No, rest for half a day, and then go tomorrow." King Jin put his arm around Jiang Changning's shoulders, and they entered the Nuan Pavilion together.

"Steal half a day's leisure in Fusheng." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"Exactly." King Jin sat down on the kang and took a long breath.

"My lord, go to bed and take a nap?" Jiang Changning suggested.

"No need, I'm not sleepy, let's talk." King Jin smiled.

"Then I'll let the maid serve tea and snacks, and we'll talk slowly." Jiang Changning got up and walked out, "Let Madam Cui prepare some easy-to-cook pastries and bring them in."

There is still more than an hour before dinner, let King Jin eat cakes to cushion, so as not to starve people.

"Go and prepare hot water for bathing." Jiang Changning made arrangements, and when he entered the room, King Jin was leaning on the leading pillow, already drowsy.

Jiang Changning curled his lips, it was already like this, and he still persisted, saying that he was not sleepy.

She took the blanket that she usually used to cover her stomach and covered him, then retreated quietly, and lowered her voice to order the servants, "The prince is asleep, please keep your voices down."

All the people in Rujingyuan relaxed their movements.

Jiang Changning went to practice calligraphy in the study next to her. Her stomach is not too big now, and she can't stand against the table.

Half an hour later, King Jin woke up, stretched his waist, looked around, and found no one in the house, "Come here."

Fu Cui came in at the sound, saluted and said: "My lord."

"Where did your concubine go?" King Jin asked.

"Go back to the prince, the princess is practicing calligraphy in the study next to her."

"I have a big belly, and I'm still practicing calligraphy, and I'm tired of being careful." King Jin said, and he was about to go to the study to find someone.

It was impossible for Jiang Changning to practice calligraphy for an hour. She was pregnant, but she couldn't stand for that long. After practicing for a quarter of an hour, she leaned on the noble bed and read a script.

Looking at it, she felt drowsy, and she fell asleep staring blankly.

When King Jin came in, what he saw was the picture of the beautiful woman in spring.

Walking over, picked up the book that fell on the floor, put it aside, and reached out to pinch her nose.

His nose was blocked and he couldn't breathe. Jiang Changning woke up and saw King Jin in front of him, "Yong Zhou, you're awake!"

The voice was soft and soft, revealing a trace of lazy charm, which seduced King Jin who had been a vegetarian for two months, "Ningning, why did you come here to sleep? Do you not want me to sleep with you?"

This aggrieved tone made Jiang Changning laugh dumbly, "If I don't want to sleep with you, what's in my stomach?"

King Jin's eyes lit up, "Physician Xue seems to have said that after three months, you can have intercourse."

"There are a bunch of beauties waiting for the prince in the backyard of the prince. The prince doesn't have to wrong himself like this." Jiang Changning said this deliberately, with a little temptation.

"I'm guarding my wife, what's wrong with me?" King Jin leaned over and kissed Jiang Changning on the forehead, "I'm happy with it."

Then he said: "Ning Ning, you don't want to push me to others."

Jiang Changning pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't want to push him to other people.

That night, King Jin ate meat. Although it couldn't be deep-fried, it had a special taste if it was stewed slowly.

The next day, the energetic King Jin went to the morning court, even if the emperor made things difficult for him again, it didn't affect his good mood.

One day later, the group of the envoy to Annan was about to leave the capital. Li Tianyou, the younger brother of the king of Annan Yue Dynasty, arrived in the capital under the escort of several loyal officials.

The old minister tearfully reported the civil strife in Annan to the emperor, pointed out Yu's wolf ambition, and asked Daqin to send troops to fight against the rebellion.

"The minister is not self-respecting, dare to imitate the loyalty of Shen Baoxu, cry out, and is willing to revive the master of the siege, Long inherits the righteousness of Jue, wipes out the treacherous, restores the Li family, and the minister is dead and immortal!"

The emperor immediately issued an edict, severely condemning the rebellious behavior of the Yu family and his son, and immediately arranged for Li Tianyou and his party to return to Annan with the envoys and succeed him as King Annan.

After sending this group of people away, the Ministry of Rites began to get busy with the re-examination.

According to the imperial examination system of the Great Qin Dynasty, only after passing the re-examination, the tribute can participate in the palace examination presided over by the emperor himself.

On the sixth day of April, the retest began.

The re-examination is not difficult, just ask the scholars to compose a poem.

This poem is often said to be a test post poem, also known as Fu Dede, mostly five-character six-rhyme, or rhyme and rhythm.

Officials of the Imperial Academy presided over the re-examination, and the tributes who participated in the re-examination stepped forward to draw questions according to Chunwei's ranking.

Ten people form a group, No. 7 Zhou Duxin, in the first group, he got a poem title: Xiangling Drum Se.

Seeing the title of this poem, Zhou Duxin remembered what his elder brother told him, "It is said that Bachelor Qian is the No.11 grandson of Qian Qi, and he respects Qian Qi very much."

This question comes from "Chu Ci·Yuanyou" in "Make the Xiang Ling drum and sing, and make the sea dance with Feng Yi".

This is a legendary allusion. It is said that Emperor Shun was buried in Cangwu Mountain after his death. His concubine threw herself into the Xiangshui because of grief and became the goddess of Xiangshui.

In the Tang Dynasty, Qian Qi, the crown of Dali talented scholar, once wrote a poem with this poem title during the Jinshi examination.

Although the test post poems have metrical requirements and pay attention to rhyme, it is difficult to produce high-quality works, but the poems of Qian Qi have been highly evaluated in the past dynasties.

"Tang Poetry Classification Ruler" Praise: The whole story is elegant, and the knot is believed to be God's help!
"Er'an Shuo Tang Poems" praise: the falling sentence is really perfect, the chief secretary reads it so far, and sighs for the help of God.

"Master of the Nets Garden Tang Poetry Notes": The music, people and the earth are glued together wonderfully.The last two sentences rhyme leisurely.

Zhou Duxin took these comments seriously, and it was impossible for him to come up with a wonderful poem that surpassed this poem in a short period of time.

After pondering for a while, he composed a well-balanced poem and handed it in. Even though he didn't like it, it wouldn't make the examiner tired of his poem.

The re-examination starts from Maoshizheng and ends at Shenshichu.

During this period, the tributes simply had brunch. After the end, the hungry tributes could not leave, and had to learn etiquette from the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Most of the tribute scholars are good at folk, and they are lacking in etiquette.

What they have to learn is how to pay homage when they see the emperor, how to salute when they see their superiors, and what to do when they see their peers.

"When facing the saint, you should bow your knees and kneel on the ground, press your left hand on your right hand, support the ground, slowly kowtow to the ground, stay for a long time, put your hands in front of your knees, and put your head behind your hands."

"When passing by an adult whose rank is higher than your own, you should salute to show respect."

"The grade is the same, and when we meet, we can hand over the gift."

If you perform the wrong ritual, let alone become an official, you may even lose your life. Even though they are exhausted, the tribute scholars are still very serious in their studies.

It was not until Rixixie that they went out of the palace to find their own carriages at the urging of officials from the Ministry of Rituals, and each returned home.
