Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 283

At the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, everyone could see the contradiction between Fang Yun and Yang.

For a while, apart from the concubines, the servants in the palace were also vaguely divided into two factions.

Some are optimistic about Fang Yun, and feel that Concubine Zhao is beautiful and favored, and she has a life-and-death relationship with the emperor. Now that there are two heirs, the second princess and the fourth prince, she must have a better future.

But the other part is thinking that Concubine Zhao will be favored again, without the support of her mother's family, she will be rootless duckweed, unable to withstand storms.

Although Concubine Yang was treated coldly by the emperor, but she has a son under her knees and is in good health, and she is of noble birth, so she will not fall down easily.

Of course, no matter what these slaves think in their hearts, Fang Yun still has the upper hand on the face, being flattered and flattered everywhere.

After all, at present, Yun has not fallen out of favor, so he is the celebrity in front of the emperor, isn't he?
Yuzhang Palace.

Fang Jun leaned on the beauty's couch, holding a small white jade bowl, drinking the bird's nest slowly, watching the second princess and the little fox roll and play together on the blanket spread in the hall.

"Your Majesty, Beauty Song is here." Yuan He came in from the outside and reported in a deep voice.

"Please come in."

Fang Yun nodded.

Not long after, Song Meiren was lured by the little maid and came in from the outside.

"My concubine, please give my concubine peace."

"No." Fang Yun waved his hand, "Sit down."

Song Meiren bowed, "Thank you, Madam."

After she sat down, Fang Jun gave Qing Rong and Yan Wei a wink, the two understood, one ordered the wet nurse to carry the second princess and the little fox down, and the other also shunned other people in the hall.

Song Meiren is not stupid, seeing her like this, she knew that she had something to say, so she asked directly.

"I don't know what your order is for your concubine to come here?"

"I won't hang around with you anymore. I called you here. There is indeed something." Fang Yun put down the small bowl in his hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth. It's time for the East Palace, the place is so big, even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't keep an eye on it, not to mention that I'm weak now, and there are four princes to take care of."

Upon hearing this, Song Meiren immediately understood.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although my concubines are dull, they still know how to make eyes and ears for your Majesty, so I should watch over the affairs of the palace more often for your Majesty!"

Fang Yun nodded with peace of mind and satisfaction when she said so well.

"You don't need to worry about it. Wan Lingyi and Xie Meiren live together now. You just need to keep an eye on them for me. I have my own sense of propriety in Zhongcui Palace."

"Yes, the concubine obeys." Song Meiren nodded.

This is considered a clear division of labor.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Fang Yun say, "I heard that you have a younger brother from the same mother? How old is this year?"

"Yes, Chenqie's younger brother and Chenqie are twins, about the same age as Chenqie, he is twenty this year, and his name is Shuyan." Song replied.

"Twenty, it's two years older than my brother." Fang Yun smiled.

The young masters of the Fang family didn't know where the ashes were blown to, and everyone knew that Fang Yun had a younger brother, so Song Meiren knew who the younger brother she was talking about at this time, so she praised her.

"I heard that Mr. Liu is both resourceful and resourceful. When the emperor and the empress were in trouble, if not for Mr. Liu's great help, they would have escaped from the plane crash."

"That's right, so the emperor told me that he was granted permission not to take the provincial exam, but to go directly to the general exam. If he passed the exam, he could enter the palace exam. If he didn't pass the exam, he should be honest and follow the steps."

When Fang Yun said it in detail, his heart beat a little.

According to the rules of Daqi’s imperial examinations, children’s examinations are taken first, and after passing the examinations, they are called scholars, and then the provincial examinations. If they pass the examinations, they become Juren. This is considered to be qualified to be an official.

Of course, if you can’t get into the Imperial Academy, you can study by yourself, but the Imperial Academy is taught by great Confucians of the dynasty, so it is still a school that many scholars yearn for. .

The next step is to take part in the general examination. If you pass the exam, you will become a tribute. Only after you become a tribute can you be eligible to attend the final palace examination supervised by the emperor himself, and the ranking will be determined.

That's pretty much the process.

Although Liu Qin is as his name suggests, he is very diligent in studying, but after all these years of poverty, most of them are self-study, without a teacher to teach, and he is young, so he will take the exam directly, and it is still difficult to compete with other candidates who have prepared for a long time.

At this moment, Zi Song Meiren probably felt something was wrong, so she said.

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that you place all your hopes on Mr. Liu, and you are worried that something will go wrong, so you want the concubine's younger brother to end together?"

"I really have that intention." Fang Jun didn't go around the corner, "You can see the situation in the palace now. Although I am favored, there is no one in the previous court. I can't compare with Concubine Yang's deep foundation. These deficiencies must be taken advantage of. I make up for it when I am favored, otherwise how can I compete with her in the future?"

Although Song Meiren's family background is lower, she is also a girl from a decent official family. She has read some books and understands some truths, so she nods now.

But he was embarrassed and said, "The concubine is happy to be promoted by the empress, but the concubine's younger brother is now a candidate, but the competition for the exam is fierce, and he is afraid of failing."

"Do your best."

Fang Yun said softly, and finally lowered his voice.

"I begged the emperor to arrange a good Confucian lecturer for my younger brother. One listened to it, and the two listened to it. After all, the first emperor's filial piety period was not allowed to take the exam this year. The emperor came back to Enke for the first time when he ascended the throne. It's the day, and there is still a year to go, if there is a master who teaches well, there will always be more chances of winning."

Hearing this, Song Meiren was relieved and very happy.

How could her younger brother have such an opportunity to be taught by a great Confucian in a small place? If her younger brother passed the exam, it would also honor the Song family.

So he nodded quickly, "Thank you for your help, my concubine will order someone to send a letter to my mother's house later, asking my younger brother to pack up his things and go to the capital to study!"

Sitting and talking for a while, Fang Yun rewarded a bunch of things before telling Song Meiren to leave.

When the room was quiet, Qing Rong came in with the medicine.

"Ma'am, the medicine is ready."

"Yeah." Fang Yun responded, took it and drank it down, "I've given birth to a baby, and I'm getting used to drinking the medicine, so I don't feel bitter anymore."

Qing Rong's eyes were full of distress, "If it wasn't for Yang's murder, the empress would not have hurt her body to this point. Now that the empress is just better, and she has to plan things outside, if she has a brother who can support her, the empress should be more relaxed."

Putting down the medicine bowl, Fang Yun narrowed his eyes.

"I don't have any real brothers, so I will grow my own wings, and send another set of the Four Treasures of the Study to the Liu family."

"Yes, this servant has recorded it." Qing Rong nodded.

After explaining this sentence, Fang Yun suddenly remembered something, so he continued to ask.

"By the way, has Liang Xi'an taken office at the Imperial Dining Room?"

Speaking of this, Qing Rong's eyes became brighter, "Don't worry, Madam, you will take care of it. Mr. Liang was originally the chief steward of the dining room of the Eastern Palace. Now that he has entered the palace, he is also the deputy steward of the imperial dining room."

If he is in charge, he will naturally be the same as before, but once he is the emperor and the courtiers, he may also be laid off soon.

Hearing this, Fang Yun showed some satisfaction on his face.

After explaining these few words, he got up and went to see the child.

The fourth prince is weak, and she is also 1 worried.

At the same time, a secret letter written by Mrs. Yang in Nanning Houfu, Huizhou also reached his father and brother.

Seeing her daughter's grievances in the palace, Nanning Marquis was naturally displeased, and immediately rushed to Beijing with his confidants, and went to the residences of various ministers he had good friends with.
