Chapter 2366 Seven Volumes 67 Cunning ([-] words completed)
"Even though the eighth elder brother has bad legs and feet, the dragon's veins are the dragon's veins after all. In ancient times, the throne was passed on, and there were fools and idiots who inherited the throne, let alone just a problem with legs and feet."

Sandan took a careful look at Concubine Yu, "What's more, the emperor was well aware of the problem with the eighth elder brother's feet back then. So this defect will not make the emperor dislike the eighth elder brother, on the contrary, it may make the emperor very special Take pity on him."

"Now that the eighth elder brother has another marriage like Yin Jishan, it's like a tiger with wings added."

Sandan said as he lifted his robe and knelt down, "The slave knows that the master doesn't like to hear this, but the slave should still tell the master. The slave has been serving the master and the fifth elder brother all his life, so his heart is devoted to the master and the fifth elder brother." Fifth elder brother, the master is concerned about the big things, so it is inevitable that some small things will be left behind, so the servant should remember for the master."

Concubine Yu sighed, and stretched out her hand to help Sandan, "How could I not understand your intentions? Now that Yongqi is married, he still has his own little life, and now in the inner court, I am the one in my heart." If there is anything, only you can help me plan it."

Only then did Sandan heave a sigh of relief, and with Concubine Yu's support, he stood up.

"The slave just feels that the master and the fifth elder brother have not fortified the eighth elder brother over the years. The slave is worried that this leg problem may become the best disguise for the eighth elder brother. Once he gets the opportunity, he will You can take advantage of the situation and have less obstacles than other princes."

With the same mentality, even the queen naturally never regarded Yongxuan as an opponent, even if she was on guard against anyone, she would not be against Yongxuan.The whole situation among the princes, on the contrary, is that there is no bondage at all around Yongxuan.

Concubine Yu also nodded, "You're right. It's just that we didn't guard against him before, but since his wedding, we have to guard against him."
.
The dining room brought dinner, and the three pills served Concubine Yu.It's just that Concubine Yu didn't have much appetite, she didn't eat a few mouthfuls, so she asked to withdraw.

Sandan was afraid that Concubine Yu's belly was still empty, so he served milk tea to her.

Anyway, I can still pad my stomach.

Concubine Yu drank the milk tea slowly, but her mind was obviously not here.

Sandan then said in a soft voice, "Concubine Xin is quite interesting today, she even fooled the master into going to 'catch the top' with her, almost getting the master into trouble."

"What's even more interesting is that she was able to admit it in front of her master... Just look at it, Yi Nu, this is not like the old Concubine Xin."

Concubine Yu raised her eyebrows, but also nodded.

"No. Although Concubine Xin is young, she has a lot of heart. You see, since Concubine Ling was able to give birth, in the harem these years, besides her who gave birth to two princesses, who else has given birth to a child? Go? Her two princesses were snatched from Concubine Ling alive, she is the only one with this ability, no one else can."

"Therefore, her heart is not given for nothing. If it is not for the fact that she is ten years younger than Concubine Ling, her experience and experience in the harem will be a bit of a disadvantage, otherwise, Concubine Ling may not be her opponent! "

"In this harem, I am afraid that she is the only one who understands best now. If she wants to win the favor of the emperor, she must compete with Concubine Ling. Only when Concubine Ling falls, can she regain the favor of the emperor, and it is possible to replace her. .She has the heart, and she also has the ability, all that is missing is the opportunity and someone who can help her."

Concubine Yu paused a bit when she said this, her eyes rolled with clouds, "You're right... With Concubine Xin's heart, she wouldn't admit her feelings in front of me."

Sandan nodded, "The servant feels that something is wrong, and that's it."

Concubine Yu sneered slightly, "But since she admitted it in front of me, it can only be said that her own temperament has changed."

"That's right, she fell out of favor all these years and asked the emperor to be thrown in the Xianfu Palace alone for so many years. She is no longer the high-spirited, young and energetic Manchurian yellow banner and the governor of the seven provinces when she first entered the palace. daughter."

"It's said that there is still a gap in Baimi. She has lost the sixth princess these years, and she has fallen out of favor. She has ups and downs. Even her cleverness is about to wear off."

Sandan thought about it, but still nodded, "Master Mingjian, it should be like this if you think about it."
.
Concubine Yu didn't know, but Concubine Xin had a very good appetite at this time, she used up a bowl of purple rice and asked Le Yi to add another bowl.

Le Yi was naturally also happy, and said jokingly, "Master, I have a really good appetite today. It is fitting that people are in good spirits on happy occasions. Now, Mrs. An Ning has been reinstated as the Chief Envoy of Suzhou. Next year, the Emperor will be on a tour to the south. This meeting is Mrs. An Ning It's time to perform meritorious service. Come to think of it, the day when the master will return to favor is just around the corner."

Concubine Xin snorted softly, "If I didn't have this idea, why would I have worked so hard for a year or two, trying my best to plan for my brother-in-law's reinstatement?"

Le Yi also laughed, "It's still the master who can pinch and count, and even in the harem, he has the ability to influence Jiangnan's affairs. Based on this, there is no second one in the harem."

Concubine Xin picked up purple rice grains with her tooth chopsticks and put them into her mouth, she couldn't stop smiling.

"The matter far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the master said that it will be settled, but the person who is near the harem, isn't that the master can easily capture it?" Le Yi picked up another chopsticks dish for Concubine Xin, "It's as happy as you want to be." Concubine, this is also a scheming one, but today, after all, she was subdued by the master."

Speaking of Concubine Yu, Concubine Xin couldn't help raising her eyebrows while holding the rice bowl.

"There was nothing difficult about subduing her. Because of her age, her seniority, and her cunning, she didn't pay attention to the people in the harem. You haven't seen that she has been in the harem all these years, and she rarely interacts with people." What? Even if there was an E Chang there later, it was only because the two of them were relatives-in-law; as a result, that E Chang was useless now, and she threw it away."

"That's why, if you want to subdue such a person, you have to use the word 'showing weakness'. Let her think that I subdued her, that I belonged to her sect, not that she took refuge in me... I have long known this truth You know, it’s just that I was too lazy to deal with her in the past. A person from Nanyuan Haizi, my family used to feed and watch deer for the emperor in Nanyuan. Even the Eight Banners Mongolia is also the lowest family background. I am a Manchurian with a yellow flag Ge Ge, is it worth 'showing weakness' to her?"

Speaking of this, Concubine Xin lost her appetite.She put down the dishes and sighed softly.

"But now and then, when I need her now, even if I take the initiative to 'show weakness' once, it doesn't matter."

Le Yi saw that the master was a little depressed, so she hurriedly said with a smile, "What are you talking about, the master just moved his little finger so simply, wouldn't she believe it? Speaking of which, she is so old, so many years old. Ingenuity, but in front of the master, it is nothing more than mediocre."

Concubine Xin felt more at ease now, nodded and smiled, "...she didn't even think about it, am I as stupid as she thought? Did I really take her to catch Eighth Brother and Concubine Ling's adultery? There is no evidence Thing, just by looking at it from a distance, I will shoot myself at the emperor's gun? Then I don't have to wait to regain favor, the emperor can directly demote me into an official woman just because I have falsely accused the noble concubine .”

"Besides, catch and catch, how could I admit it in front of her, I purposely went around her and went to catch it with me? - Me, I just purposely made a loophole in front of her to make her believe me more In front of her eyes, she is just an ignorant little girl. Even if she is a little clever, she can't escape her eyes."

"Tell her to be at ease with me, so she is willing to join hands with me. Tell her to think that she will be the leader in everything in the future, and I will only do things for her."

Concubine Xin laughed again as she spoke, leaning on the pillow with her elbows, her eyes dim, "Since she loves to be the leader, I will help her. After all, if something happens in the future, the emperor will only ask the responsibility of the leader." , I am so happy that I can only fall into the responsibility of being 'inspired by it'."
.
April is approaching, besides Yongxuan's wedding, the emperor has another major national event, which is this year's appointment of Enke.

Since this year is the Empress Dowager's 70th birthday, Enke is specially opened this year.

Before the Qing Dynasty, there were only three times of Enke, and two times during the Kangxi period; the third time was the 17th year of Qianlong, when the emperor celebrated the [-]th birthday of the Empress Dowager.It has been ten years since the last Enke.

Since it is Enke, the number of candidates has increased compared with previous years; the emperor has even decreed that if anyone is over 70 years old, they will be rewarded with titles regardless of whether they pass the exam.Therefore, in addition to the solemnity and solemnity of previous years, this grand ceremony for recruiting talents for the country has added a festive atmosphere this year.

After finally pressing the matter of Cuihuan and Yongxuan for the time being, Yurui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when she came in today, she was smiling again.

Wanxi couldn't help joking, "Isn't it that you have learned the ability to 'change faces'? You were so sad before, but now you are having fun."

Yu Rui blushed, stepped forward and said with a smile, "You can't hide anything from my sister... two pieces of good news came from my family."

Wanxi nodded with a smile, "Why don't you ask me to follow Lele too?"

Yu Rui smiled and said, "This year's Enke, the emperor has decreed that Mr. Liu Tongxun will be the official examiner, and my uncle Guanbao will be the deputy examiner~"

Wanxi raised her eyebrows, "Oh, this year is the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. Your uncle became the deputy examiner of this subject, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to your uncle. Does Yingyuan Gege know? If she knows, It must be joyful too. Even Yongqi is naturally happy too."

Originally, Yongxuan got married this year. Yongxuan had a father-in-law like Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, but Yongqi's father-in-law E Bi was ordered by the emperor to build a palace without permission. You can imagine Yongqi's heart It must not be a taste.

But this time, the emperor asked Yingyuan's Ama to be the deputy examiner of this subject.Although Yingyuan is just a "prince's servant girl" and Guanbao is not qualified to be Yongqi's father-in-law, the factual relationship is the same as that of her father-in-law.At any rate, this can make Yong Qi feel more balanced.

Presumably because of this, Yong Qi would love Ying Yuan more.

"What about the other case?" Wanxi smiled and looked at Yurui.

Yurui was a little embarrassed, "There is another case... I, Ama. The emperor just issued an order, asking me to take the post of deputy commander of the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army."

"Ouch!" Wanxi clapped her hands, "That's really a happy event. Quickly order a jug of wine, and I'll have a happy meal with you!"

After all, Debao was born in Baoyi, but now he has become the commander of the Eight Banners, and he is the Zhenghuang Banner of the Shangsan Banners!This meaning is extraordinary.Although it is not officially raising the flag, the meaning inside may even exceed the words of raising the flag itself.

"Sister, don't be so busy eating Xi'er, the happy events I brought back today are not limited to these two from my family."

"Oh?" Wanxi also raised her eyebrows, "Is there anything else going on?"

Yurui said, "An extra good thing, this first case belongs to our brother-in-law, Brother Long! The emperor asked Brother Long to take care of Guanglu Temple's affairs!"

Wanxi raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Oh, that's really delightful!"

Wanxi couldn't help patting the edge of the Kang twice, and didn't care that her palms hurt, "Jiu Fujin is happy again just now, I think it's because he and Master Jiu have reconciled, and it's the happiest moment of husband and wife. Now; now their eldest son has got a serious job at such a young age, this is the double happiness of Master Jiu and Fujin Jiu."

"In the past, Jiufujin still cared a little about how Ruxiang's Fu Ling'an got military merits in the northwest, but it surpassed Long'er. Now that the emperor has given her a real job, she can feel relieved~"

Fu Long'an only married Princess Hejia last year, and he is only fifteen years old this year.Wanxi originally thought that since he was still young and just married, the emperor would not give him a practical job for a while, but unexpectedly, the emperor rewarded him with a job in Guanglu Temple.

Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief, bowed her head and said, "Actually, I'm still worried about their young couple. I never had the nerve to tell you... After all, Sister Chun passed away only a year ago, and He Jia vowed to marry her." To fulfill the three-year filial piety period for Sister Chun. I was worried that this young couple just got married, and Jia Ruo insisted on keeping filial piety, and refused to have sex with Long Er, so what should I do?"

"According to the practice of the children of the aristocratic family, if He Jia refuses to share the same room, then it is natural to arrange someone else for Long Er... I am worried for He Jia."

"But this time it's alright. The emperor has arranged an errand for Long'er. As a fifteen-year-old kid, he is busy enough with the errands in charge of Guanglu Temple. Doesn't he have no other thoughts to go?"

Wanxi blushed a little when she said this, and Yurui covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.

"Isn't that right! Guanglu Temple is in charge of sacrificial tributes and state banquet arrangements. Those things are complicated and full of clues, which is enough for the fourth son-in-law to have a headache for a while. If you want to straighten it out completely, with his age At the age of two, don’t go there in two or three years! At that time, when his errands are fulfilled and our fourth princess’s filial piety is over, everything will be peaceful and beautiful!”

Wanxi smiled and stretched out her hand to slap Yurui, "Look at you, you're smiling so badly! This is a good thing!"

Yu Rui made a funny face on purpose, "Since it's a good thing, why did sister hit me?"

Wanxi spat softly, "Little hooves, who are you making fun of? Didn't I hit you for the emperor? You dare to laugh even the emperor..."

Yurui suppressed her smile, but still couldn't help sighing, "Your Majesty, you are so careful to take good care of our four princesses. If you are talking about the emperor's princess, even Princess Hejing married Mongolia. Although the mansion was given to live in Beijing, But I have to go back to Mongolia with my son-in-law to visit my parents-in-law, observe filial piety and so on; on the contrary, the fourth princess is the first one of our emperor not to marry into Mongolia."

"For the sake of the fourth princess's hand, the emperor is really careful and considerate; now he wants to care about the happiness of the fourth princess in such a 'secret' way."

Wanxi smiled and glanced at Yurui, she didn't say anything, but her heart was soft.

A 15-year-old child is called to take care of such things as sacrifices and state banquets. He attaches great importance to it, but it is really a toss.If it wasn't because Fu Long'an was the fourth concubine, how could the emperor be so reckless as to ask a 15-year-old child to take care of these things?After all, if the sacrificial tribute is slightly wrong, it is disrespectful to God; the state banquet ceremony is even more important, and there can be no mistakes in the same way.

Wanxi is very pleased that the emperor is so prepared for the marriage; she can't help but think of her Xiaoqi and Jiujiu... When Xiaoqi and Jiujiu are gone in the future, will the emperor take care of her so carefully? Now, what will the emperor do for these two little girls?
.
Yu Rui saw that Wanxi was distracted, and understood that Wanxi must have thought of the Seventh and Ninth Princesses, so she put away her jokes.

"Sister, there is one more thing..."

Wanxi regained her senses, raised her eyes and nodded, "Say it."

Yurui deliberately played tricks, "The "Dream of Red Mansions" submitted by the eighth elder brother, sister, can you read it first? It is a complete book with 120 chapters, and you can read it in one go. I'm carrying it."

Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "You little hoof, how did you get to this? What kind of happy event is this? Is this what you want to talk about?"

Seeing that Wanxi took it seriously, Yu Rui quickly laughed, "Sister, don't worry. I just want to say, why is it my turn to watch "A Dream of Red Mansions" this year? Isn't that Mr. Hu Shuo suddenly put down his pen and ink! Said I'm also angry now, he really is, what is he busy with, he didn't even write the book, and made my sister feel so lonely for so long that she went to watch "Dream of Red Mansions"~"

Wanxi spat, "Bah! You have something on your mind, why don't you tell me everything quickly?"

Yu Rui laughed like a bell, "Okay, okay, don't mess with sister! I, what I want to talk about here is the mystery of what this Mr. Hu Shuo is up to - it turns out that our Mr. Hu Shuo participated This year's Enke is busy doing academics and taking the champion exam!"

Wanxi was also surprised from ear to ear, "Oh? The news from your uncle?"

Guan Bao is the deputy examiner of this subject, the letter he gave must have been confirmed.

Yu Rui nodded with a smile, "That's right. Sis can feel at ease now. Mr. Hu said that he didn't stop writing for no reason, but he is really busy with more important things this year!"

Zhao Yi is a great talent, and even the person in the Military Aircraft Department that even Jiu Ye can't live without.Zhao Yi wrote all the plans and battle reports of the Military Aircraft Department.It's just that Zhao Yi's luck in the imperial examination was a bit unlucky, and he was never able to get a background in the "right way" of the imperial examination, so he had to take a detour to obtain the cabinet secretary.Therefore, upon hearing that he was taking the exam again this year, Wanxi's heart was raised instead.

"...You didn't ask your uncle, is there any other great talents who will take the exam this year?"

Yu Rui's eyes drooped slightly, "Because we are most concerned about Jiangnan affairs at this moment, so among so many talented people, I don't remember others, but I remember one related to Jiangnan...Jiangnan has outstanding people, how many champions They are all from Jiangnan, which is not uncommon; but this person, although related to Jiangnan, is not from Jiangnan."

Wanxi could hear the deep meaning in Yurui's tone, so she sat up slowly, "Go ahead."

Yu Rui raised her eyes, "There is a man named Wang Jie, who is from Shaanxi. He is the number one in the Shaanxi Examination, and he is Xie Yuan from Shaanxi."

Wanxi nodded, "Shaanxi is a province of humanities, and Xie Yuan in Shaanxi should not be underestimated."

"But, what is his relationship with Jiangnan?"

Yu Rui's eyes lit up quietly, "This Wang Jie lost his father at the age of eight, and his family was poor. Therefore, after passing the examination for a scholar, he used his mother as a foster mother and went to Jiangnan to be a guest."

"Screenkeeper." Wanxi nodded, "Zhao Yi used to be Wang Youdun's and Liu Tongxun's stalker, and Cao Xueqin was also Yin Jishan's stalker. Among the stalkers, the tiger dominates the dragon."

Yurui nodded, "... Coincidentally, this Wang Jie also worked as an aide in the residences of Governor of Jiangsu Chen Hongmou and Governor of Liangjiang Yin Jishan."

"Oh? Such a coincidence?" Wanxi couldn't help but stare, and was also slightly surprised.

Yurui sat down on the footrest, "That's what the explanation is about. As far as the behind-the-scenes are concerned, Mr. Zhao Yizhao is the behind-the-scenes of Mr. Liu Tongxun, and Mr. Liu Tongxun is the chief examiner of this subject; Wang Jie is the behind-the-scenes of Mr. Yin Jishan." Guest, Mr. Yin Jishan has returned to the capital at this time, and his daughter and eighth elder brother are about to get married..."

Wanxi nodded, "It's a good story for the two great talents to meet again in the Golden Palace this year."

Wanxi's face was calm, but it was difficult to suppress the waves in her heart.

Yu Rui quickly changed the topic again, "Tell me another interesting thing: the emperor actually ordered Mr. Zhaohui to be the examiner of Enke this year."

Wanxi also raised her eyebrows, "Master Zhaohui? Examiner?"

Yu Rui clapped her hands and laughed, "My uncle and Ama also reacted in the same way! After all, Mr. Zhaohui is a military general who just quelled the war in the Northwest. Now he told him to put down his gun and grab his pen instead to choose the champion for the imperial court. It's really interesting!"

Wanxi smiled slowly, "Using martial arts to select the champion is really special. However, Lord Zhaohui is also capable of both civil and military affairs, not just a martial artist. After all, there are naturally civil servants next to the examination papers; the emperor asked Master Zhaohui to participate in the examination papers , is the meaning of the emperor's reward for the merits of the Northwest of the Lord Zhaohui."

When Wanxi said this herself, she felt a little dazed in her heart.

Yu Rui hurriedly asked, "Sister...what are you worried about?"

Wanxi shook her head lightly, "No. Maybe I was thinking too much. After all, the emperor is fasting for the sacrifice, and the palace examination and biography will be around April [-]. I am suddenly worried about this, I am afraid it is too early gone."
.
On April [-]th, eighth elder brother Yongxuan got married.

Wanxi also invited Ama Debao of Yurui to take advantage of Yongxuan's big wedding. There are many opportunities in the palace to accept errands, so she asked Cuihuan's parents to enter the palace to accept.

So she took this opportunity to give Cuihuan and her parents a chance to meet each other.

Poor Cuihuan's parents didn't know about the entanglement between the eighth elder brother and her own daughter, but they thought it was a lucky thing for the prince to get married and her family to enter the palace to accept it.Even after meeting and reuniting with her daughter, and having told her parting and missing, she couldn't help but talk about all the grand ceremony of the prince's wedding.

Cui Huan's father participated in the welcome ceremony, so he preached, "...Master Debao, the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, led 20 officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to wear pythons, and forty guards came to the Fujin to welcome them. The entourage was sent in advance. Go to Fujin's mother's house and wait. Zanshi's wife will wait in the palace, first in another room of the imperial palace."

"When the auspicious time comes, Lord Jiqing, the commander of the infantry and also the elder brother of Concubine Ling, ordered his subordinates to clear the way; under the rule of Lord Luanyi Wei Zhaohui, prepare colorful vehicles, use red satin curtains for sedan chairs, and use school captains to walk. Tsk tsk, Yuying, you can probably imagine the pomp...it really only happens to the royal family, and the folks don't even dare to think about it."

According to her parents, Cuihuan is still the old Wang Yuying.

Cui Huan was even more dejected when she heard this, and she only turned her eyes to her mother, "Er Niang, in the identity of Bao Yi Fujin, is a compliment to the female officer, right?"

Cui Huan's mother smiled and replied, "Exactly. We, all the female officials under the leadership of the Baoyi Assistant and the Internal Management, accompanied the eighth elder brother Fujin's Caiyu to enter the palace together, and went to the imperial uterus. Or I will respectfully guide Eighth Brother's Fujin into the palace..."

Cuihuan's mother was a little embarrassed when she said, "Originally, I also wanted to fight for the opportunity to personally serve the eighth elder brother and eighth elder brother Fujin with the wine. But I didn't expect it. When the eighth elder brother heard about my identity, I actually Did not ask me to serve."

"The eighth elder brother actually stood up and talked to me, saying, 'Old man, we are too young to ask the old man to wait on you. Even if the old man sits outside, just ask them to wait on you'." Old Fujin didn't know what to do, and smiled. Ask Cuihuan, "Yuying, tell me, is this strange? Even though I am old, I am still a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How dare I work like this for a married prince? I really can't bear it." .”

Cuihuan was stunned, staring blankly at her mother; but she was afraid that her mother would see the expression in her eyes, so she hurriedly lowered her head again.

He only tried his best to say, "The prince is married, and those who can serve in front of him are naturally couples who grow old together. Ama and Er Niang are naturally among such people, but they are also old, even the prince should respect more Come on."

Cuihuan's father and mother looked at each other and smiled, "We don't see it that way, we both feel that I'm afraid it's thanks to you, Yuying! After all, you are now an official woman in Yongshou Palace. Even serving under the position of nobleman Rui, but at least under the name of Yongshou Palace. This can also be regarded as the servant of the master of the noble concubine."

"Based on the current status of Concubine Ling's master in the harem, plus the relationship between Eighth Prince and Concubine Ling, he will also give us a particularly high regard."

The two elderly people held their daughter's hand happily, "Look at us Yuying, although she is only 15 years old and has only been serving in the palace for a year, she has already helped our family win face."

Cui Huan couldn't help feeling sad, and shook her head vigorously, "Ama, Er Niang, you are overthinking. I, I am just the most inappropriate official girl in Yongshou Palace. I am thankful for not causing trouble to the masters. How dare I Why are you fighting for face?"

The two old men didn't believe it, and they looked at each other and smiled, "You still say no? You just said that you have only been in the palace for a year, and you are able to meet us. What a grace! If there is no acquiescence from the masters, , where can I get such an opportunity?"
.
If this is a reunion with her parents, but when Cuihuan came back, she didn't smile, but hid in her ear room, crying even more.

Following Yurui's instructions, Cuixiao watched Cuihuan carefully, and when she saw Cuihuan like this, she hurriedly told Yurui to go.

Yurui was also inappropriate, so she went into Wanxi's bedroom and told Wanxi about it.

When Wanxi heard this, she bowed her head for a while.Fang slowly picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip.

"She feels uncomfortable, which shows that even though she may not know it clearly, she actually puts Yongxuan in her heart."

Yu Rui just sighed, "Oh, I wish it wasn't like this."

Wanxi nodded, "After all, she is the daughter of Bao Yi's family. Even if she is married to a prince, she can only be a maid. Even if Yongxuan values ​​affection, if she wants to 'please' her, she must be able to give birth to her." Let’s talk about it later.”

Yurui also sighed, "Isn't that the case? Even Yingyuan has already given birth to a boy for the fifth elder brother, but she can still only be a 'prince's maid'. In the future, 'please side', say no It sounds good, but you have to wait until the death of his wife, Fujin, before you can ask for a seal."

Wanxi turned her head and looked out the window, hesitated a little, took out the "Dream of Red Mansions" and handed it to Yurui, "Give it to her."

Wanxi agreed to Yongxuan long ago, but she didn't give the script to Cuihuan until now, not because Wanxi forgot the foreword, but because Wanxi saw Lin Daiyu's soul break at the end of "Dream of Red Mansions".Wanxi was really scared, and after Cuihuan finished reading the book, she couldn't think about it even more for a while.

Yu Rui hesitated while holding the book, "Sister, do you really want to show it to her?"

Wanxi lowered her eyes sadly, "If she doesn't feel uncomfortable today, then I might not want to give it to her. But since she is feeling uncomfortable today, and since she is in love... let her continue to chew on the pain."

"Those who are in the net of love know that lovesickness is the most painful, but they still enjoy it. The person in the book dies, but the person who reads the book, because of the maintenance of this book, there is still a glimmer of hope for the future; Only those who read can survive."

Yu Rui also sighed, took the book and went out.
.
On April [-]th, the emperor came back from the palace, his face was still full of joy.

Wanxi stood up to meet him, waited for the emperor to take off his big clothes, and then said with a smile, "Congratulations, this is three blessings."

This year is the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday, the eighth elder brother got married in this year, and this meeting is just the end of the palace examination.But whether it is in the country or at home, it is always a time of joy.

The emperor sat down, took the towel wrung by Wanxi herself and wiped his face.

"Grandfather is in the palace today. Fang accompanied the Queen's mother and personally summoned the 70-year-old and 80-year-old candidates in this department. Even if they failed the exam, those over 70 years old will be rewarded to the Imperial College The title of school principal; those over 80 years old will be rewarded with the title of review by the Imperial Academy."

Wanxi was also a little silly when she heard that, "Is there really a 70-year-old or 80-year-old juzi?"

"Of course there are!" The emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled, "There are quite a few! There are 18 people who are over 80 years old, and seven people who are over [-] years old!"

Although Wanxi smiled, she was still a little apprehensive, she couldn't help lowering her head and said, "...I don't know, who will be the No. [-] scholar this year?"

(Another update, happy first weekend of the new year~)
