The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"What else can I do? After my fiancée broke off the engagement, my brother has never smiled. When I came back this time, he studied books all day and never went out. My father is now the minister and is very busy and doesn't care too much about my eldest brother. I'm also afraid of worrying about my eldest brother. Don’t dare to talk nonsense during the imperial examination.”

Time is the best medicine. For those who are heartbroken, any comfort is superfluous.

"Then we can only wait for my eldest brother to come back from the examination room and ask him again. Regardless of whether he passes or not this year, the marriage must be decided. We can't keep thinking about Song Xuerou."

After hearing what Meng Wenyao said, Meng Yueling's face was filled with a smile: "Sister, since my father has been promoted step by step, there has been an endless stream of people coming to our house to say goodbye to my brother. Thanks to the Song family's dog-like eyes, now Song Xuerou I’m afraid I’ll have to spend the rest of my life in a ancestral temple.”

Speaking of this, Meng Wenyao also started gossiping: "I heard that after the eldest prince was deposed, the Song family took Song Xuerou back. I thought they would let her get married. Why didn't she send her to the family temple?"

"Yes, I heard that she was not allowed to enter the family and was sent directly to the family temple. Also, the elder of the Song family is really thick-skinned. Seeing his father being promoted, he even thought of marrying his youngest daughter to his eldest brother. The eldest brother Even if I can't get a wife, I won't marry the Song family, it's just a matter of trying to be superior and worshiping the inferior."

Hearing that Song Xuerou was not doing well, Meng Wenyao felt better. When the two sisters talked about the imperial examination, they naturally mentioned Meng Wenyao's former lover Wei Zian, the scholar who retreated and escaped under Yang Qilang's power. This time Also entered the examination room.

Looking at Meng Wenyao's face, Meng Yueling whispered: "I heard that Mr. Wei's family has also announced that he will get married. It will be about to get married after his imperial examination is over."

"So fast?"

Meng Wenyao blurted out and heard a rich boy repeat: "What's so fast?"

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

Before his legs could bend, he was helped up by the man who strode over. His face darkened: "I told you so many times that you don't need to salute in Jianzhang Palace."

The emperor's intimate tone made Meng Wenyao feel slightly uncomfortable: "My sister is still here."

"Miss Meng is one of our own. Besides, I love you. If your sister sees it, your family will feel relieved."

Unexpectedly, the man who was once so cold would be so gentle and considerate now. Meng Wenyao smiled sheepishly at Meng Yueling.

"what are you guys saying?"

The emperor once again brought up the topic just now, and Meng Wenyao replied slightly flustered: "It's just the eldest brother's exam and the marriage. The two of us talked about it randomly. These are all father's decisions."

"Well," the emperor helped Meng Wenyao sit down, and continued: "Your eldest brother is not young anymore, and it is really time to get married. When the marriage is finalized, you tell me, and I will personally decree the marriage to give your family some dignity. "

"No, no, no, the emperor has attracted attention by promoting my concubine's father in this way. If my natal family treats me so favorably, wouldn't it make people think that I am proud of my favor?"

The emperor sighed, patted Meng Wenyao's hand gently and said, "If there hadn't been too much trouble in the palace, I would have made you the queen immediately. I'm just afraid that there would be too much talk in the previous dynasty, and Yao'er would have wronged you."

No matter what, Meng Wenyao never felt that there was anything to be aggrieved about with the title, and if she really became the queen quickly, then all the big dramas in the harem would definitely be blamed on her. She understood that the emperor was just protecting her. .

"I don't care about this."

There was also Meng Yueling, both of whom were hesitant to speak. Meng Yueling, who was watching from the sidelines, quickly found an excuse to leave.

The results of the general examination will be released in a month. The eldest brother of the Meng family and Wei Zian are both on the list, and then the general examination will begin again.

The examination was conducted by the emperor himself, and he also reviewed it personally. Looking at the two papers in his hand, the emperor was unable to decide which one could be the top scholar.

"Yao'er, your eldest brother is indeed the number one scholar in his articles. It's just because of you that if you are named queen in the future, some people will inevitably think that his talent comes from my favoritism, so I think it's better to let your eldest brother be the second one. alright."

The No. 1 pick in the list, I heard, there is one every three years, and it lasts for a lifetime. A top pick can't guarantee a lifetime of achievements. Meng Wenyao doesn't really care about this false reputation, and I believe the Meng family won't care about the false reputation either.

She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to put the overall situation first. I don't care about this. I just don't know which student the Emperor likes to be the top scholar."

"It's a student named Wei Zian."

With a snap, Meng Wenyao's tea cup fell down.

The emperor was shocked and quickly comforted him: "If you don't like it, how about we change the number one scholar to your eldest brother?"

As scenes from the past came back to her, Meng Wenyao knew that those were the memories of the original owner. She herself had no romantic feelings for Wei Zian, but after all, there had been those entanglements. After thinking about it, it was better for her to tell the truth to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you. Please don't be angry, okay?"

In today's world, the emperor has a wife and children, what else can make him angry? He was very good-tempered and said: "You tell me, I will never be angry."

"That..." Meng Wenyao hesitated what to say.

"What?" The emperor continued speaking calmly.

"That's Wei Zian."

The emperor was a little unhappy and said angrily: "I will never be angry, just tell me."

"My concubine and Wei Zian were childhood sweethearts. Later, Yang Qilang wanted to marry me by force. Wei Zian didn't show any sign. I knew that this man was not a good match and could not be relied on..."

"I understand."

Meng Wenyao was interrupted by the emperor before he finished speaking. Meng Wenyao carefully raised her head to look at the emperor and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, are you not angry?"

"No, Yao'er was willing to enter the palace and stay by my side. This was a marriage destined by God. Otherwise, I would never have children in my life. Yao'er, let her pass the past. I won't be angry, and neither will you. Stop thinking about it."

Seeing the emperor gritting his teeth to express that he didn't mind, Meng Wenyao knew that the emperor had restrained his temper very well, but she didn't like Wei Zian anyway. Sooner or later, the emperor would know that this so-called love rival had no weight at all, and he would be relieved.

"I, my concubine, only have the emperor in my heart now, only our emperor's son."

The emperor hugged Meng Wenyao enthusiastically, as if he really didn't care at all.

Half a month later, the palace examination results were released. The eldest brother of the Meng family came second in high school, and Wei Zian came in last among the Jinshi.

Looking at the list in his hand, Meng Wenyao laughed so hard that his stomach ached. The emperor said he didn't care, but he really didn't seem to care in the past half month. He even made a top talent into the last place. If it weren't for Even with the examiner watching, he can make people fail.

"What a stingy man." Meng Wenyao muttered softly.
