The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

  Chapter 115 116: Tan Hua Lang

  Feng Yi saw the changing expression on Song Yunzhao's face, thought she was afraid, so he held her hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

  Song Yunzhao thought that men don't need to have children, so naturally they are not afraid.

  The imperial physician lowered his head, listening to the emperor comforting Song Jieyu in a soft voice, thinking that there is no real name under great favor.

  Song Yunzhao cleared his mind, stretched out his wrist and put it on the pulse diagnosis.

  Xiangxue stepped forward and put the handkerchief on Song Yunzhao's wrist, and then the imperial doctor put his fingers on it.

  Song Yunzhao looked at the imperial physician's expression unchanged, unable to figure out whether it was something wrong or nothing.

   After a while, the imperial physician moved his finger away, got up and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, Song Jieyu is in good health and there is no abnormality."

  Feng Yi said that there seemed to be something wrong with Song Yunzhao's energetic appearance all day long, and nodded very satisfied.

  Song Yunzhao looked a little puzzled. She was in good health, but she didn't have any symptoms, so she took the initiative to ask the imperial physician, "Emperor physician, since I have no physical problems, why am I still infertile?"

  The imperial physician immediately said: "If you go back to Jieyu, there is indeed nothing wrong with the pulse."

  Song Yunzhao:…

  Healthy but not easy to conceive, there is no reason for this kind of thing.

  Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao's dark face, suppressed a smile and waved his hands to make the imperial physician retreat, then said to Yun Zhao, "I'm not in a hurry because I can't eat hot tofu, why are you in a hurry?"

   "How can this be the same?" Song Yunzhao heaved a sigh of relief knowing that his body was fine, and he relaxed mentally. Looking at the emperor, he said, "I have a constitution that is not easy to conceive. If I want to conceive, it depends on God's will. Why should such a kind person like me suffer such hardships?"

  Feng Yi:...

   "Is there any language in the harem?" Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao and asked, otherwise, she didn't care about these before, why is it so important this time.

   "Not at all." Song Yunzhao shook his head and denied, and he couldn't say that there was nothing at all, but the palace has been focusing on the fraud case recently, so there is no time to stare at her stomach.

  Feng Yi looked at it but decided that it was her duplicity, there must be some bad rumors about her in the harem.

  Thinking about it carefully, he has only favored Yunzhao these past few months, and his stomach has never moved, so it is indeed easy to be misunderstood.

  It depends on God’s will to give birth to a child. It depends on whether he works hard or not. The emperor who decided to work hard put Song Yunzhao into the tent.

  Song Yunzhao:…

  Song Yunzhao felt the sincerity of the emperor this night. He really did not intend to prevent her from having a baby, so she had nothing to worry about. Whether she could conceive one or not, she could only do her best and obey the destiny.

  The emperor has worked so hard, is she ashamed to be lazy?

   During the few days waiting for the end of the autumn, the emperor came to Wangyou Palace to stay overnight almost every day, showing his attitude with actions. Song Yunzhao felt that if this continued, would the emperor's waist be able to bear it?

  Even if the emperor's waist can bear it, she still can't bear it.

   She needs to take it easy.

   Fortunately, the students were released from the examination room, and the emperor got busy again, busy reading the examination papers.

  Song Yunzhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and soon began to worry about the grades of her cousin and her cousin's husband. When she was at home, she only knew that her eldest cousin was good at studying, but she didn't know how good he was, so she couldn't estimate how well he could pass the exam, which was a bit tormenting.

   There are candidates in the family, and the days are like years.

   Not to mention Song Yunzhao who was in the palace, after Song Yanran returned home from the examination room, he fell asleep with his brother-in-law and didn't even bother to take a shower and change clothes.

  The eldest lady and Song Guiyi hurriedly asked people to prepare hot water and prepare meals, and after the two of them got enough sleep and packed themselves, they went to the backyard.

  The eldest lady didn't ask how she did in the exam, and let the two of them eat first. Song Guiyi personally served the meal for his younger brother and husband, and said with a smile, "You're starving, let's eat first."

   They were really hungry, so they ate first, and after a while Song Yexi also arrived, greeted them, and went to sit next to the eldest sister.

  Song Guiyi looked at his younger sister and smiled, "Why are you here now?"

   "I heard that brother-in-law and elder brother are coming, so I hurried over to have a look." Song Yexi said, although she knew that her brother was well educated, but entering the arena was different from making a fuss, so she was naturally concerned about it.

  The eldest lady looked at the youngest daughter, "You have gotten closer to the county master Ming'an recently. It's not impossible to go out to drink tea and go shopping, but don't cause trouble."

  County Master Ming'an is somewhat reckless.

   "We didn't go to other places, so we went to Yuquanlou to listen to the opera. Yuquanlou released a new play "The Peony Pavilion". Many people like to listen to it." Song Yexi laughed.

   It sounds like I went to Yuquanlou to settle down for a while. Xie Jinshu and Xie Linlang are looking after Xie Jinshu and Xie Linlang on the Xie family's territory, so they are not afraid of anything.

   After saying this, the two finished their meal, and the eldest lady asked with concern: "How did you do in the exam? Are you sure this time?"

  Song Yanran and Zhong Yingzhang looked at each other, and then said: "It should be no problem to be on the list."

  The eldest lady was overjoyed, and looked at her son-in-law again, "Yingzhang, what about you?"

   "Mother-in-law, I checked with Boran on the way back, so it should be about the same." Zhong Yingzhang also laughed.

  Song Guiyi and Song Yexi also had joy on their faces. It would be great if they can really go to high school, but it's hard to say how many places they can rank.

   After high school, you have to prepare for the palace examination. Only the students who are admitted to the list are eligible to participate in the palace examination.

  There is a re-examination before the palace examination, and you can only participate in the palace examination after the re-examination. The palace examination will be handed in at dusk on one day.

  After Song Yunzhao knew the whole process, he thought it was much more complicated than the college entrance examination in later generations.

  The news that both Song Zhenran and Zhong Yingzhang were able to participate in the palace examination spread to the palace, and the whole Wangyou Palace cheered. This is a great joy.

  Song Yunzhao was very happy. Although she estimated that the two would not fail the ranking, she was relieved to hear the news.

   After the palace test, the final word will be finalized.

  The news quickly spread in the harem. For a while, everyone looked in the direction of Wangyou Palace and didn't know what to say.

  Two Jinshi, although one of them is the son-in-law of the Song family, the relationship is very close.

  Wait until the day of the palace examination, Song Yunzhao was waiting for news in Wangyou Palace, and soon Han Jinyi, Feng Xiaoyuan and a Lu Zhixue formed a group. With them talking with them, I didn't feel that time passed slowly.

  Waiting from sunrise to sunset, Zhang Maoquan rushed into Wangyou Palace out of breath, shouting, "The master is overjoyed, Mr. Song was ordered by the emperor to be Tanhualang!"

  Song Yunzhao stood up abruptly, Tanhualang?

   "Congratulations master, congratulations master!"

  Han Jinyi and others also stepped forward to congratulate, and the hall became lively for a while.

  The surprise came too suddenly, Song Yunzhao was a little dazed, it was Tanhualang, Yijia.

  She looked at Zhang Maoquan again, "Boss Zhang, how did my brother-in-law do in the exam?"

   "Young Master Zhong is ranked eighteenth."

  Ranked eighteen?

   This ranking is also very good, this is the eighteenth student in the country.

   "Rewards! All rewards!" Song Yunzhao looked at Xiangxue and said.

  Zhang Maoquan took a thick purse, said a few more auspicious words, and hurried back to Taiji Palace. Thinking of Xu Sixi's complicated eyes when he got the news and ran to Wangyou Palace, he couldn't help feeling proud.

  He still can't compare with Meng Jiuchang, but Xu Sixi has already been overwhelmed by him. This is all thanks to Song Jieyu, can he not pay attention to the matter of Wangyou Palace?

  The news that the Song family had a Tanhualang was spread all the way by Han Jinyi and the others, not to mention Qin Xiyue's mood, but the third concubine's mood was not very good.

   This is Tanhua Lang handpicked by the emperor.

  Song Yunzhao asked someone to send a congratulatory gift back to the Song Mansion. This time, there is no need to keep a low profile. For such a big event, one should go to congratulate him openly.

  The eldest lady accepted Song Jieyu's reward, and she couldn't keep her mouth shut. After the Song family came to Beijing, even if there was a Jieyu in the family, it would not be as good as it is today.

  A Jieyu is just a favorite concubine, but a Tanhualang is the hopeful of the Song family, with a bright future ahead. How many people can appreciate the wealth brought by Jieyu, others congratulate you on the face, but they may not think highly of it in their hearts.

  But it's different now, Song Yanran is the eldest son of the Song family, and he is so outstanding, he came back with Tanhua the first time he played.

   Others saw that the Song family was no longer the natal family of the favored Song Jieyu, but the residence of Xinke Tanhua.

   There was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate her. Even Cai, who had always stretched his hips, was still smiling today to help the eldest lady entertain guests. There was a cousin of Tanhualang.

   In a few years, when her son can also pass the exam and come back, she will be as beautiful as today's eldest lady,

  Song Jinxuan is helping Song Yexi, and she is also very hot in her heart. The first cousin is so good, it would be great if she can give her younger brother some free time. I dare not think that my younger brother can also get a candidate and come back. As long as she and my aunt can pass the exam, I will be satisfied.

  Gongli Feng Yi arrived at Wangyou Palace at night, Song Yunzhao's extraordinarily attentive appearance made him laugh, he pulled him into his arms, and asked with a smile, "So happy?"

   "That's Tanhualang, I dare not even dream about it, but my cousin really dares to take the test." Song Yunzhao said in a particularly proud tone.

  Feng Yi:...

  I couldn't hear a single serious sentence from her mouth, what is it that you really dare to test?

  He looked at Song Yunzhao and said with a smile: "Originally, your cousin could be the No.

  Song Yunzhao:! !

   That's the champion!

  Is the emperor still invisible face control?

   Can this be done with just one face?

  Seeing Song Yunzhao's look of losing his treasure, Feng Yi laughed loudly, stretched out his hands to pinch Song Yunzhao's angry little face, and said softly: "You are already so beautiful in the palace, your brother should keep a low profile, Tanhualang is just right for him."

   It turned out to be like this, Song Yunzhao's mood really went up and down like a roller coaster, "Anyway, what the emperor said makes sense, what can I do, of course I agree."

  Feng Yi smiled happier, and looked at Song Yunzhao with softer eyes than before, "Your brother has something to say, and Dang Tingzuo talked about it when he was timid. Your brother said that he improved his writing with clumsiness, made up for his weakness with diligence, and did not forget to encourage himself. He is so humble that those old men in the court can't name him a young maniac."

  Song Yunzhao looked at the emperor with a strange expression. He didn't expect the emperor to like Song Xinran so much, and he especially admired his character. Song Zhenran's act of handing in the blank paper gave him a layer of gold in the emperor's heart.

  The emperor is so happy, Song Yunzhao is even happier, her natal family is promising, this is her confidence in the palace.

  Just as the third concubine does not look down on others, it is because of her strong family background.

   Now she is slowly gaining confidence. Song Yunzhao once studied history and learned about relatives, and her perception of relatives is very complicated, but she is really in the torrent of this era, so she knows the importance of family to concubines.

  She is now walking on a path that she did not agree with, but she will restrain herself and restrain the Song family, and will not let the family go on the path of no return for foreign relatives in history.

  The second day was the Qionglin Banquet. Song Yunzhao didn't have the pleasure to watch it, but it must be very lively after thinking about it.

  After the Qionglin banquet, officials will be appointed, and the Ministry of Officials will take over this. Song Yunzhao waited for the Qionglin banquet, and immediately asked the eldest aunt to bring Song Guiyi into the palace.

  The eldest lady's face was flushed, Song Guiyi was slightly plump than Song Yunzhao's impression, after all, she was the mother of two children, but the overall mental state was very good.

  Song Guiyi was also looking at Song Yunzhao at this time. The gorgeous woman in palace dress in front of her was already different from the somewhat stubborn cousin she remembered.

  Yun Zhao was thin and thin when she was a child, but now she has fully grown, and the ease and calmness between her eyebrows and eyes adds a bit of momentum.

   "Your elder uncle means to let your elder brother go out to practice for a few years. I don't want your elder brother to go out to suffer and suffer, but he has decided to take this path himself, and I can only support it as a mother."

  Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, and said softly; "It's good to stay in Beijing for the examination of Shu Jishi, but it's another way to go outside."

  The eldest lady nodded slightly, "Your uncle also said the same thing. Only by going to see how the people live can you be a better official in the future."

   "If this is the case, the eldest brother may be the county magistrate." Song Yunzhao said, being a county magistrate is indeed very hard.

   Song Guiyi heard this and said, "According to the regulations of the Ministry of Officials, it is correct. Your brother-in-law also wants to be released. If you stay in Beijing, you may not be sure to pass the exam. It is better to choose a good place to release."

  Song Yunzhao was a little surprised, she thought that Zhong Yingzhang would choose a concubine, and it seemed that Song Zhenran had influenced some of his thoughts.

   It’s true that it’s not easy for Shu Jishi to take the exam. Zhong Yingzhang said that he was afraid that he would fail the exam, so his grades in the exam should not be a big problem.

   "Brother-in-law has outstanding talents, so he must be sure to be a good scholar, but since he chooses to be released, he has to govern the side with political achievements, so it is not difficult to go up." Song Yunzhao said that when his uncle and father were unsatisfied with their promotions, it was because there was no one in the court.

  But it's different now, with her here, she won't take credit from others, but her own family's credit won't be taken away either.

  With Yun Zhao’s words, Da Furen and Song Guiyi felt much more at ease. The battle in the court is also very dangerous, and every step must be carefully considered, especially for low-level officials like county magistrates.

   After finishing the business, Song Yunzhao looked at Song Guiyi and asked, "Sister, do you want to stay longer in Beijing this time?"

  Song Guiyi shook his head, "After your brother-in-law is released, I will definitely leave together. Before taking office, we have to go back to our hometown."

  The eldest lady said: "Whether you take the child with your son-in-law to take office, or stay in your hometown and let your mother-in-law take care of it, you have to think about it in advance."

  Song Yunzhao also looked at Song Guiyi.

  Song Guiyi smiled and said, "Of course I will take it with me to the post."

  Song Guiyi has a good relationship with her mother-in-law, but the elders inevitably dote on their grandchildren, leaving the children at home for fear of being manipulated. Although it is hard to take her to the office, she can teach the children well.

  Song Yunzhao is very much in favor of it, the child has to be raised by himself, it cannot be said that the children raised by the elders are not good, but the relatives of the next generation will inevitably indulge them.

   "If the eldest sister wants to take the child to take up the post, she has to discuss it with her brother-in-law first. With her brother-in-law nodding, it will be easy to go back to the elders." Song Yunzhao laughed.

  The eldest lady naturally heard what Yun Zhao meant, and it was better for her son-in-law to tell his mother-in-law than to tell her daughter, and she immediately nodded in agreement.

  Song Guiyi had a plan, so he smiled and said: "What Jieyu said is that I will discuss this matter with my husband when I go back."

  The eldest lady looked at Yun Zhao, "I don't know when the third brother will be able to return to Beijing, does Jieyu know?"

  Song Yunzhao shook his head, "I don't know, Auntie, is there something wrong?"

   "You know about Qinghan's marriage. The third sibling wants your first cousin to marry her, but if the appointment is made, your first cousin will have to take up the post. In this way, if the third brother cannot return to Beijing, then your first cousin may not be able to send her off in time."

  Song Yunzhao is really not surprising at all, the Cai family is planning everywhere for Song Qinghan, and now Song Xinran is Tanhualang, and there is Tanhualang who will marry the natural scenery.

  The Cai family wanted to take advantage of Song Zhenran's limelight, but the eldest lady might not be willing.

  Wu Xinhou's mansion is just a trap, and it's too late to hide and walk away, so why would he let his son come to the door by himself.

  Thinking of this, Song Yunzhao said: "Song Qinghan must wait for my father to return to Beijing when she gets married, but the eldest cousin's errands are important, and he cannot delay his appointment because of her."

  Once the appointment is made, there is a time limit for taking office. If you fail to arrive within the time limit, you will be punished.

  Song Guiyi felt confident when he heard Yun Zhao's words, looked at her and said softly: "On the day our family held a banquet, Mrs. Wu Xinhou also came to congratulate her. However, although our family has a prospect, Mrs. Hou may not see it."

  Song Yunzhao understood, Mrs. Wu Xinhou must have come to the Song family to show her prestige and suppress the Song family's arrogance.

  How could the eldest lady be willing.

   Sure enough, I heard Song Guiyi continue to say; "My mother saw that the third aunt was very affectionate with Mrs. Hou, so she specially invited them to the back hall to talk. However, I saw that Mrs. Hou's expression was not very good, so I don't know if I will anger the third aunt."

  Song Yunzhao chuckled, "Sister, some people want to find excuses to embarrass you and embarrass you, and we don't have to be polite. My father didn't nod at the marriage between Wu Xinhou's mansion and Song's family. It was all the wife's and Song Qinghan's intentions. Since that's the case, I can't blame others for the way they chose. As for Mrs. Wu Xinhou, if she does things to play prestige in other people's homes, although our family is not as rich as the Hou mansion, we will not be afraid of her."

  Hearing Yun Zhao's words of confidence, Song Guiyi breathed a sigh of relief. If he dared to say such a thing, Yun Zhao seemed to be doing well in the palace, so she could feel at ease when she left.

   "Jieyu, this time we are farewell, and we don't know when our sisters will see each other again. You must take good care of yourself in the palace, and tell my mother when you encounter problems, don't bear it by yourself." Song Guiyi took good care of this cousin in the first place, and now that the family has gained power, they naturally want to protect her.

  Song Yunzhao responded with a smile, "Eldest sister should also take care of herself, maybe we can see each other again in a few years."

   Seeing each other in a few years, it means that Zhong Yingzhang's official career is going smoothly. Song Guiyi is very happy to hear this.

   Seeing that it was getting late, the eldest lady took her daughter to leave, Song Yunzhao asked someone to take out a pair of boxes, "Sister, this is a little thing for the children, please help me take it back."

  Song Guiyi hurriedly said: "When you first came to Beijing, you already gave the children a meeting gift, how can you still accept it?"

   "Is there anything you can't accept? It's not expensive for children to play on the way back." Song Yunzhao said with a smile, "It's made by Liushangju, and it's for children to play with."

  Hearing this, Song Guiyi took it, and said with a smile: "They won't be yelling about being bored on the way back."

  Song Yunzhao got up to send the two out, Song Guiyi turned to stare at Yunzhao, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled.

   "Zhao Zhao, you have to be well, and I will come to Beijing to visit you some other day."

   "Okay, I'll wait for Eldest Sister."

  The eldest lady left with her daughter, and Song Yunzhao stared at their backs as they went away. There will always be many partings and reunions in a person's life. She is not a hypocritical person, but she still feels a little sad at this moment.

   Not long after, Zhong Yingzhang left Beijing with his wife and children. A few days later, Song Zhenran also left. The weather was getting colder and colder. At the end of October, the disaster relief officials finally returned to Beijing.

  Before this, because of Song Qinghan's marriage, there were several tossings, and Wu Xinhou's Mansion wanted Song Qinghan to pass through the door quickly. Cai was a little hesitant, but the eldest lady did not give in and insisted on waiting for Song Sanye to return to Beijing.

  In the middle, He Lanyun's third aunt, the third wife of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, went to the Song family to propose a marriage, talking about Yue Shao, the nephew of Princess Zhenbei's natal family.

  The eldest lady went to the palace to discuss this matter with Yun Zhao. Although they said Song Yexi's marriage could be decided by their husband and wife, but if Ye Xi wanted to marry the Yue family, he really had to ask Yun Zhao.

  The natal family of Zhenbei Wangfu, this weight is not light for the Song family.

   "Auntie, have you seen Yue Shao?" Song Yunzhao asked.

  The eldest lady shook her head, "There is no intention of getting married yet, how can I meet other people's children first, but I have secretly inquired that although Yue Shao is only a general, he is not an unknown person in the army. The Yue family's reputation in the capital is not bad, because it involves the Zhenbei Palace, so this matter is up to you to decide."

  Song Yunzhao heard that she knew what the eldest lady was worried about, so she asked, "Auntie, have you asked uncle what he means?"

  The eldest lady nodded, "Your uncle also wants me to ask you."

  Song Yunzhao's heart warmed up. Although she and He Lanyun had a good relationship, the marriage between the two families was not a trivial matter, so it was natural to proceed with caution.

  The Yue family, did it appear in the book?

   She frowned and recalled to herself.

   Today’s update is here, my little cuties.
