The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

After living in the Palace of Compassion and Peace for more than three months, Sheng Yuan finally returned with a full package of money.

Sheng Xiangxun looked at the carts of boxes that looked like they were heading into the yard, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"Sister Yuan!"

Unable to bear it, Lord Sheng pulled the little girl to the side and asked in a low voice, "Are you entering the palace to rob?"

"Talking nonsense!" Zheng Shi just heard it, and kicked his calf lightly.

"Then it must be that this girl is so annoying, this is sending her out happily!"

Sheng Xiangxun stroked his beard, and said firmly: "These gifts show the mood of my aunt and the emperor! Listen, these gifts can be piled up into a hill, and they are clearly cheering! It can be regarded as sending this girl out of the palace!"

"..." Mrs. Zheng had never seen such a person who buried her own children, and she no longer wanted to talk to him.

It was Sheng Xiangxun who grabbed Sheng Yuan and asked her tirelessly if she had caused any trouble in the palace these days.

"Except for helping Brother Yu to resist the third prince, and Brother Yu recommending himself to the emperor, it's the same as before! Horse racing and kung fu in the outer garden, cuju rafting in the middle garden, strolling and letting kites in the inner garden, oh, yes, this time it's the same. Occasionally, I go to Chuxiu Palace to see my sister." Sheng Yuan felt that she was very honest, and her father was purely worrying.

But I don't want his father to automatically generate a translation in his mind:

Fighting against the third prince with that kid An Yu? ... How is the third prince? !

Do you want to benefit from the emperor with that kid An Yu? ... The emperor is not dizzy, is he? !

Sheng Xiangxun wanted to pinch himself.

"The emperor is really tolerant!" Looking at the lively little daughter, Sheng Xiangxun felt that he had underestimated the emperor's heart before. This is not narrow-minded, it is simply a horse in the stomach!

"How is your sister in the palace?" Zheng rubbed her forehead, caring about her eldest daughter first.

As for the third prince and the emperor... Let her hear the worry-free news first!

"Sister is fine!" Sheng Yuan didn't know if the emperor had given any letter to his parents, so he let them rest assured first, and then looked around.

Seeing her like this, Sheng Xiangxun and Zheng Shi called their confidantes to watch over here, while the couple took their youngest daughter back to the inner room to talk.

"I heard the exact news from the empress dowager's aunt. It seems that the emperor is going to marry his sister to the second prince!"

Sheng Yuan didn't know, her words were like thunder, which shocked her parents.

"Why, why are you bringing up the old story again?" Zheng woke up from the dizziness, hurriedly pushed her husband's arm and said, "You don't know at all?"

Sheng Xiangxun was dizzy at first, but when he heard his wife's questioning, he knew that he was under suspicion, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The two of us have been vacationing in the suburbs of Beijing for the past three months, and the emperor never invited me to go, so where can I go?" And know?!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng stopped losing her temper as a matter of course, let's continue to lose her temper, the couple had a great time playing together in the past three months; but don't continue to lose her temper, as if she was making trouble out of no reason.

"You are the father! You don't even know if the emperor intends to marry you! Why didn't you inquire about it earlier!"

After all, Sheng Xiangxun lost his temper after being punched a few times.

He knew that Lingniang's raised fist would never fail!

Sheng Yuan looked at his parents, and the words "I'll be on vacation in the suburbs of Beijing for three months" kept echoing in my mind.

Good guy, she and her elder sister entered the palace for a draft, while her parents went to the suburbs of Beijing to enjoy leisure!
If the draft practice was longer, wouldn't they have to go out to Beijing for sightseeing!
How unreasonable!Don't even want children? !

"Cough, cough, cough!" Hearing the little daughter's question, Sheng Xiangxun and Zheng Shi immediately punched their mouths to relieve their blushes.

"Oh!" Originally, Sheng Xiangxun wanted to talk about him like his wife, but his wife stepped on his foot, so he could only face the dissatisfaction of his little daughter.

"The queen mother in the palace is your aunt and grandma. You often go to the palace to play when you are a child. The flowers, trees, mountains and rivers, and the directions of the routes are as familiar as your own. Even if you close your eyes, you can walk well. Why bother me and you?" Your mother is thinking about it!"

"Then there is no sister!"

"Although the Empress Dowager rarely summons your elder sister, she is her own niece and granddaughter. Now that she has entered the palace, how can she not take care of her? What's more, there is your own sister here, so we can rest assured!"

Sheng Yuan didn't expect his father to be reasonable, but she seemed a little unreasonable: "..."

"Okay, let's put the matter of the emperor's marriage aside for now, and talk about the matter of beating the prince with brother Yu!" Sheng Xiangxun transferred the conflict with ease.

In an instant, the offense and defense changed!
So, on the first day back home from the palace, Sheng Yuan ran away with his head in his arms because he lost to the mixed doubles.

……

As night fell, stepping into the bed, Sheng Xiangxun and Zheng Shi whispered.

"I heard from Sister Yuan that the Second Prince used to study at the Imperial Academy under the pseudonym Xie Yuan, and he and Sister An have not only known each other for a long time, but also seem to have a good relationship?"

Sheng Xiangxun could hear the expectation and fluke in his wife's words, he hesitated for a blink of an eye, then made up his mind, and told him softly: "Mother and daughter talk about everything, some things are not easy for me as a father, you Still have to tell her clearly.

As a gentleman, I see it more clearly than you. Whether you are a childhood sweetheart or love at first sight, you can't do anything with the prince, and you can't take it seriously.You and my husband and I are so weak that taking a spoonful of water for three thousand is a good talk among the people, but it is a wrong example for the royal family.

There are many cases in the palace where confidante break their favor before they are old, not to mention, when the youth is gone, the appearance will no longer be.

Instead of being sad and hurt in the future, it is better to see clearly in advance and seek peace and leisure. "

The more Zheng heard it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she wanted to refute one or two things, but after thinking about it, everything her husband said was true, and if it wasn't for his daughter's far-reaching consideration, he would not be able to say these words.

Hearing his wife's choked-up sigh, Sheng Xiangxun could only comfort him: "Actually, think about it, this kind of marriage is not bad... Don't worry, just listen to my analysis and see if it makes sense.

Although Sister An said that Zhizhu has her own city, she does not have the ambition of Sister Yuan. Even if she enters the officialdom, she just lives leisurely like me.Although it is good to be like me, but it is difficult for a woman to find a decent marriage if she becomes an official through the imperial examination.

You and I have searched for many people before, many of the families who know the basics are willing to let their daughter-in-law study in the imperial examination, and very few are willing to let their daughter-in-law show their faces; There are not many families who have no children and take concubines.

It was so easy to pick out one or two of them, either because of their average looks, their mediocre talents, or their poor family atmosphere. How could those people be worthy of my sister Anthra? "

Speaking of the couple's previous efforts, Sheng Xiangxun became annoyed: "I thought I could pick out good talents from the Imperial College, but I didn't think it would be better to search outside! It's just reliable if you find it outside? How many examples are written that people know well?" I don't know what to do, but if I really want to let sister An go out, if I encounter a Zhongshan wolf, what should I do? Even if I take the effort to bring the child out of the wolf's den, I will be sad!"
