Before we knew it, the Spring Examination had arrived.

Fang Shiwan and Zhou got up early and went to Lu's house.

Today is the day of Lu Yunting's imperial examination, and it is an opportunity for the Lu family to change their destiny once again.

at this time.

The Lu family and the side branches were outside the door early to see them off, constantly saying blessings.

Lu Yunting waited at the door for a long time, but did not see the figure, so he prepared to get on the carriage to go to the Imperial Examination Hall.

Zhou Huiyi hurriedly got off the carriage and shouted, "Mr. Lu."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Yunting turned around happily.

Zhou walked forward quickly, "Mr. Lu, this is the snack I made by myself, you... take it in and eat it."

Lu Yunting lowered his head and saw Zhou Huiyi holding a basket in her hand.

He took it with a smile, and the touch of skin sent an electric current through his whole body.

"The weather is still cool now, so it's not likely to get bad."

"Thank you Huiyi, I will definitely finish it." He smiled like a child.

"Okay, it's okay if you can't finish it." Zhou Huiyi stood where she was.

Fang Shiwan joked in a voice that only a few people could hear: "Dad, you should study hard and you can marry me after you pass the exam."

Lu Yunting coughed lightly. This girl has no shame.

"Okay, let's go, time is running out."

"Well, Huiyi, wait for me to come back."

"it is good."

This time, he said he would never miss her again.

The imperial examination was divided into three sessions, each lasting three days, for a total of nine days.

Like the provincial examinations, the imperial examinations required students to prepare their own dry food and live in the Imperial Examination Hall, which was also a big challenge.

Lu Yunting had been exiled in Lingnan for more than ten years, and now he could cope with the environment there better than when he was young.

Many people who came to watch the fun had gathered at the gate of the Lu family.

He was able to return from exile and continue his life, and still took part in the imperial examinations without fear.

He is also the favored son of heaven that all the women in the imperial city dream of. Everyone wants to see this amazing man again.

Some women caught Lu Yunting's eye and showed admiration, "Oh my God, who would have thought that he would still be so handsome after returning from exile?"

"Yes, apart from being a little darker, his body seems... stronger." The woman said shyly.

"Yes, yes. Speaking of which, he is more charming now than he was sixteen years ago. Look at the way he talks to the general's daughter. He is really gentle."

"What do you mean the general's legitimate daughter? She is now a divorced wife. In my opinion, she is not worthy of Master Lu."

The chattering of several people fell into the ears of the woman in the white veil without missing a word.

There was a smile in her eyes.

When she met the man's gaze, her heart was slightly shaken. What a strong aura, what a powerful man.

If we say that King Qi is a handsome, domineering, majestic and decisive god of war.

Then this Lu Yunting is the young master of the world who is extremely talented and as beautiful as jade.

"How can a man like this be worthy of that divorced woman?" She curled her lips and smiled. Only a woman like her could be worthy of him.

Zhou sent Lu Yunting away with a hint of shyness on her face.

"Huiyi, wait for Yunting to come back and then you can get married. I have already asked people to prepare all the things for your wedding." Old Madam Lu looked at her lovingly.

She had liked this girl before, and if she had not been exiled, she would have gone to her house to propose marriage long ago.

Now that people don't care about their exiled status and still love their son, she is happy from the bottom of her heart.

Only Mr. Lu was not worried at all that she would not get married.

Zhou Huiyi blushed in embarrassment, "Madam, there is no need to make such a fuss."

They even have a child, but she hasn't dared to say it out loud yet.

"How can that be? You are my Lu family's legitimate daughter-in-law, I cannot let you down."

Fang Shiwan smiled. Such a good daughter-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern, but Old Lady Fang didn't cherish her.

It’s a pity that she can’t see the daughter-in-law she hates become someone else’s favorite.

"Miss, Concubine Xu invites you to the palace. She said that she has just received a bunch of tribute grapes and would like you to taste them together." Ziyun stood beside her and whispered.

"Wan'er, go ahead. Mother will chat with Madam Lu for a while."

"Okay, mother, you stay here, and your daughter will pick you up later."

"Okay." Zhou Huiyi nodded with a smile.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Fang Shiwan followed Ziyun's pace.

"Miss Fang, please." The driver gestured to Fang Shiwan.

Fang Shiwan nodded and got on the carriage.

The carriage moved forward and soon arrived at the palace.

"Miss, Concubine Xu is in the Queen Mother's bedroom. Please follow me."

At the palace gate, the Queen Mother's maids had been waiting for a long time.

Fang Shiwan got off the carriage and changed into the empress dowager's sedan chair, and was carried to Shoukang Palace.

Before I got close, I heard the laughter of the Queen Mother and Xu Zhaoyi.

"Empress Dowager, Zhaoyi, Miss Fang is here."

The Queen Mother immediately put down the melon seeds in her hand and said, "Quick, let her in. What are you doing standing there?"

Nanny You smiled and said, "Yes, Queen Mother."

Fang Shiwan walked into Fengyi Palace and saw the Queen Mother eating melon seeds and chatting with Xu Zhaoyi.

I was a little surprised at her childishness.

"Your servant pays respects to the Queen Mother and to Consort Xu."

"Hurry up, there's no one here and you don't have to bow." The Queen Mother's eyes almost narrowed into another line due to her laughter.

That day, the rouge she gave herself was really useful. After she applied it, she found that her skin became much more supple, and those small spots were much lighter.

Xu Zhaoyi stood up quickly and said, "Wanwan, I just got a bunch of tribute grapes, and the Queen Mother and I are waiting for you to eat them."

Fang Shiwan's eyes fell on the round pear wood table, and he saw that there was indeed a large bunch of purple grapes on the table.

Isn't this a Kyoto peak?

Her favorite...

Xu Zhaoyi understood her preferences.

"You haven't eaten it yet? Don't worry, I will teach you."

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Xu Zhaoyi picked up a grape and used her other hand to peel off the grape skin, revealing the green and translucent flesh.

If you smell it up close, you can smell a sweet and sour smell.

"Try it." She handed it to Fang Shiwan's lips.

Fang Shiwan smiled and took a bite of the grape that Xu Zhaoyi handed to her.

It tastes sweet and sour, juicy and thirst-quenching.

"Delicious." She smiled.

Seeing how pleased she was, the Queen Mother and Concubine Xu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Zhaoyi, are these grapes tribute?"

Xu Zhaoyi nodded, "Yes, it was a tribute. The Qian Dynasty did not have seeds, so we asked Donglin several times, but Donglin refused because of insufficient seeds."

"If the Qian Dynasty can eat grapes like this, then the people will also be blessed."

After hearing this, Fang Shiwan began to make some plans in his mind.

She looked at the grape seeds in her hand, spat them out, and took out a tissue from her sleeve to wrap them up.

Xu Zhaoyi just thought she was clean.

"Gulu gulu..."

It was not yet time for lunch, but the Queen Mother's stomach made embarrassing rumbling sounds.

After hearing this, Fang Shiwan and Xu Zhaoyi covered their mouths and smiled.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. I just have no appetite. I'm really tired of the dishes prepared by the kitchen..."

For breakfast today, she only ate half a bowl of porridge and was already hungry.

"Queen, if you don't mind, I will cook for you, how about that?"
