Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

Palace, New Year's dinner.

"This year is another year of peace in the world. My sons and ministers will respect father and emperor first, and wish father and emperor a long life like Nanshan and good luck like the East China Sea!" Nan Rong Zehan raised his glass and drank it down, and the princes and ministers below followed suit. It was very pleasant at the family dinner for a while.

Emperor Xuande sat at the top, with the empress on his right and Concubine Liang on his left, the sickness on his face could not be concealed even by alcohol.

After sitting for a while, Emperor Xuande left feeling unwell, "I am here and you are not comfortable, you are drunk, you should have fun."

After the emperor left, the queen also left immediately, and the others became less restrained.

"Fourth brother, I respect you!" After Nanrong Zeli took up the wine glass and finished drinking, Nanrong Zehan also toasted him, "Seventh brother, you have been unknown for so many years. When Ze Yu and I were together before, I don’t see who you’re on good terms with, have you figured it out now?”

Nan Rong Zeli put down his wine glass, "Fourth Brother, Eldest Brother and us are siblings, you can't do this, please ask the Emperor for mercy, the Emperor may let Eldest Brother return to the capital during the New Year when he is happy."

"Old Qi, Lao Qi, I said, what are your plans? You are just the son of a lowly maidservant. What ability do you have to gossip in front of me? Ze Yu has no ability himself, and this deposed prince is He asked for it himself, so why do we bother to intercede here. If you want to intercede, go to Jiangnan and accompany him!"

The expression on Nanrong Zeli's face was not very good-looking. Everyone in the entire palace looked down on him because he was a prince from a humble background. Only the elder brother treated him like a sibling, but he had no ability to treat his elder brother like a brother. rescued.

The Seventh Prince tugged at Nanrong Zeli's sleeve and shook her head at him, so Nanrong Zeli could only sit down and watch Nanrong Zehan socialize with the ministers.

"You know what means he is, why bother to fall for him."

"Hey, brother is far away from the capital now, and no one remembers him. He hasn't attended this banquet for three years."

The seventh concubine comforted, "Brother is not the kind of person who has no ambition. We will be far away from the capital without causing trouble. It is hard not to be the target of public criticism. Even if it is for the sake of the child, we can't be so reckless."

Nanrong Zeli held the wine glass tightly in his palm, and endured the calm for a while.

After the family banquet, the third watch had passed, everyone had basically left the palace with their family members, and the fourth prince took Mo Huai for a walk in the back garden.

"Master, there is a rule in the imperial court that everyone has to leave after the family banquet. Is it appropriate for us to go see the imperial concubine now?"

"As long as the news doesn't reach the emperor's ears, His Highness can do whatever is appropriate. Besides, how many people in the palace are our eyeliners now, what are you afraid of?"

"Yes."

Nanrong Zehan arrived at the gate of Concubine Liang's palace, the little girl saw that it was the fourth prince who hurried in to communicate, and invited them in after a while.

Concubine Liang drank a lot of wine at night, her face was still flushed, and she was lying on the chaise longue chair full of charm.

"My son, please greet my mother and concubine."

"Get up quickly, what's the matter now?"

"This is the new year, and my son specially greeted the concubine mother in advance, wishing the concubine mother good health and all wishes come true in the new year."

Seeing her son's respectful blessings, Concubine Liang was also happy, "You, I don't repeat these polite words every year, and I don't know what I'm pretending to be."

"Mother and concubine, we are all in power now, why did the emperor only let me temporarily take over the prince's affairs, and did not re-appoint the prince."

"I've blown a lot of wind around the pillow, and the old guy is not a big deal, but there has been no news. Is it inappropriate to establish a new one because the prince has just been abolished?"

Nanrong Zehan always felt that there was something strange about it, "The emperor's body is getting worse day by day, if we don't hurry up to establish a prince now, if one day he drives west, the bosses will have a chance. The emperor is willing to see us brothers fighting for life and death in the spirit of heaven?"

"Why don't I ask again in two days, and you can also mobilize the officials to make the emperor feel that the country cannot live without an heir."

Nanrong Zehan always felt sullen in his heart, "If he had made me the crown prince early, he would have been able to suffer less from illnesses. What is the matter now that there are soups and medicines hanging around."

"What did the silly boy say? In any case, he is also your father. The throne will be yours sooner or later. Why are you so anxious? After he dies, this position will naturally be yours. It would be great if his name will be justified by then."

"My son respects his life."

When the fourth prince left the palace, it was already dawn outside, and the bells could be heard ringing in temples on mountains outside the capital.

-

Yun Yun sat in the county mansion all night, and was still sitting propped up at dawn, while Xiao Bao had already fallen asleep by the stove, and her clothes on her chest were soaked with saliva.

"My lord, I haven't eaten the dumplings from last night. I'm going to put the dumplings in the pot now." Mrs. Meng asked considerately. My lord worked hard too. He waited in the house all night, but Mr. Cheng didn't come back.

"Sister-in-law Meng cooks two more bowls, just treat it as me eating for Cheng Mu."

Mrs. Meng agreed, but her heart was sour, she hurriedly woke up Xiaobao and told him to follow her to the kitchen, don't be an eyesore.

After the dumplings were cooked and served, Yun Yun acted as if nothing happened, ate three bowls of dumplings by herself and went back to sleep.Before leaving, I told him that if there were any New Year greetings today, they would come back in the afternoon and not see them in the morning.

Yun Yun went back to the house, looked at the big red bed and the curtains on it, and finally couldn't restrain herself. Cheng Mu had promised to come back before the Chinese New Year, but now that it was over, there was still no one.

As if a piece of her heart had been hollowed out, Yun Yun opened the letter box, and there were six letters written by Cheng Mu herself, each of which was neatly placed in the box.

In the past, he would definitely not be able to stand this person during the Chinese New Year, but now he is a county magistrate, and he can't lose face in front of his servants. If he has any uncomfortable words, he can only swallow it in his heart. Xiaobao is too young, and many things are wrong I understand, Mrs. Meng is a woman, and she is sentimental, so he doesn't want to bother her.

Going to bed with the box in her arms, Yun Yun felt that the only thing that could comfort her was Sui who had been watching all night this year.

Lying on the bed, he fell asleep unknowingly. He dreamed that when firecrackers were being set off everywhere on New Year's Eve, he and Xiaobao were also setting off firecrackers in the county mansion, and Mrs. Meng was sitting beside him laughing.Then a fine horse rushed in through the gate, and Cheng Mu got off the horse, holding a roast goose in his hand, saying it was a New Year's gift for him.He smelled his roast goose, and his whole body was drooling, and then Cheng Mu tore off one leg of the roast goose and stuffed it into his mouth.

In a daze, someone asked, "What makes it so delicious?"
