Lucky men are the last to have children, and fertile women are the last to have children

Chapter 515: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 65
Chen Mufeng looked at her happy expression and felt happy too.

The two children have already had their milk and are sleeping soundly side by side in bed. Babies in confinement spend most of their time sleeping.

Seeing their two children sleeping soundly, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

It is not easy to take care of a child, especially during the confinement period.

Aunt Liu helps me during the day, but it’s not convenient to ask her to take care of me at night.

Yu Yao reached out and touched the two children's butts. Fortunately, they had not peed or defecated, so there was no need to change them.

"Yao'er, Aunt Liu has to do the laundry and cooking. She usually takes care of all the household chores. You need to recuperate during the confinement period, and it's not convenient for you to take care of the children. How about I ask Aunt Liu to go to the dental clinic tomorrow and buy two more experienced maids to take care of Yu'er and Yue'er."

Chen Mufeng tucked in the quilts for the two children and spoke.

Yu Yao nodded slightly when she heard his words, but did not refuse. "Okay, ask two people to come back, so I can relax a little."

The two smiled at each other, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Chen Mufeng told Liu Pozi about going to the pawnbroker to buy someone, and brought him back for Yaoer to take a look.

Today is the ceremony of announcing the imperial examinations, and he has to go to the palace later, so he is not free.

"Okay, sir, I'll go to the dental clinic after I'm done with my work."

Mrs. Liu agreed with a smile.

Then, he retreated.

Chen Mufeng had just finished his breakfast when officials from the imperial court brought him the top scholar's uniform.

"Thank you for your help, everyone."

He took out some silver from his pocket and gave it as a reward to several officials.

"You are too polite, Mr. Number One Scholar. We are so lucky to be able to congratulate you, Mr. Number One Scholar."

Several officers flattered Chen Mufeng extremely, said a few polite words, and then left.

Chen Mufeng changed into the top scholar's uniform and prepared to enter the palace.

As soon as he went out, Li Mingxuan's servant Li Lei came to pick him up in a carriage.

Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan were both sitting in the carriage, each dressed in new clothes.

The only difference was that Zhang Shuhan was wearing the runner-up's uniform, with a golden pattern embroidered on the chest.

Although Li Mingxuan was wearing casual clothes, he was also very handsome. The material of his clothes was excellent and it was obvious at first glance that they were very expensive.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then the carriage slowly set off and entered the palace together.

Not long after.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate.

At this time, many people have gathered here, all of them are new Jinshi who are preparing to enter the palace to participate in the ceremony of announcing the imperial examinations.

Three hundred in total.

Chen Mufeng got off the carriage, wearing a bright red top scholar uniform, which made his face look even more handsome and his posture as straight as a pine tree.

It was very eye-catching in the crowd, attracting everyone's envy and discussion.

He adjusted his sleeves calmly, turning a deaf ear to the various discussions around him, without any concern at all.

Having come this far, he has long learned to remain calm in the face of honor or disgrace.

Zhang Shuhan and Li Mingxuan followed beside him and were equally eye-catching.

Especially Zhang Shuhan, wearing the second place uniform, he was still very eye-catching.

Xie Yunze was wearing a Tanhua uniform. His eyes fell on Chen Mufeng. After looking at him for a moment, he moved to Zhang Shuhan, stayed for a few seconds, and then turned away.

Although these two people came from humble backgrounds, he had to admit that they were indeed very talented and better than himself.

Although he accepted his defeat with a clear conscience, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

But he didn't say anything unpleasant, he just stood there with a calm expression.

As the time came, the palace gate slowly opened.

A eunuch walked out, shook off the dust in his hand, and shouted in a shrill voice: "The grand ceremony of announcing the success of the imperial examinations is about to begin. Please enter the palace one by one."

Upon hearing this, everyone straightened their robes and lined up to enter the palace in order of their ranking.

As the top scholar, Chen Mufeng naturally walked in front. He held his head high and walked steadily into the palace gate, followed by a long line of scholars.

The fifth princess, Xiao Nanqi, had long heard that the new number one scholar was talented and handsome, and was highly appreciated by her father, the emperor. Yesterday, she was even granted an official position by her father on the spot in the Golden Palace.

She was curious and wanted to come over to take a look.

He was followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids. They arrived at the palace gate in a mighty procession and happened to see the new scholar entering the palace.

Xiao Nanqi saw Chen Mufeng who was walking in the front. His bright red champion uniform made his face look like a jade-like jade, and he looked handsome and outstanding.

Her heart moved and her face turned red.

I couldn't help but secretly praise in my heart: What a handsome and talented top scholar.

Chen Mufeng also noticed the Fifth Princess. After all, it was hard not to see such a big scene.

He tilted his head slightly and caught a glimpse of the Fifth Princess, who was dressed in luxurious palace clothes, had a pretty face, yet was dignified and elegant, and was staring at him with burning eyes.

He paused for a moment, quickly looked away, and continued walking forward with a normal expression.

Although I don't know her identity, I can guess that she must be a noble in the palace.

Fortunately, the two sides were not on the same palace road, so there was no need to stop and salute.

Seeing how calm and composed Chen Mufeng was, Xiao Nanqi admired him even more.

She did not step forward to disturb them, but just stood there quietly, watching Chen Mufeng leading the scholars away.

It was not until their figures disappeared into the depths of the long palace corridor that Xiao Nanqi withdrew his gaze. His eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of light flashed across their depths. It was unknown what he was thinking.

"Princess, that number one scholar is indeed worthy of his reputation. I have never seen such a handsome and talented man."

A palace maid couldn't help but praise him.

Xiao Nanqi smiled softly, "He is indeed talented, and what's even more rare is that he has a peerless face that looks like Pan An, and his demeanor is also outstanding. I just wonder if this number one scholar has a wife."

When the maid heard this, she knew that the princess had set her eyes on the number one scholar, and smiled, "Don't worry, princess. I will send someone to inquire about it right away."

After that, he turned around and left.

Xiao Nanqi looked at the palace maid's departing back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

Chen Mufeng didn't know that he had accidentally attracted a beautiful peach blossom, a royal one at that.

At this time, he had already brought all the Jinshi to the Wenhua Hall where the ceremony of announcing the successful candidates was held.

At this time, the Imperial Guards, the Jiaofang Music Band, and the drum and music imperial guards were waiting on both sides of the Wenhua Palace gate.

As the ceremonial officer sang loudly, "The new Jinshi enters the palace~"

Chen Mufeng, Zhang Shuhan and Xie Yunze were the first to enter the hall, and the other scholars entered one after another and stood according to their ranking.

Inside the Wenhua Hall.

Emperor Yong'an sat high on the dragon throne, wearing a golden dragon robe, looking at the new scholars below with a majestic look.

His gaze lingered on Chen Mufeng for a few seconds, and admiration flashed in his eyes.

On both sides stood civil and military officials, all dressed in court robes and ranked according to rank.

Leading the group was the Crown Prince in court robes, followed by several princes, all looking at these new scholars.

The third prince's eyes inadvertently swept over Chen Mufeng, Zhang Shuhan, and Li Mingxuan, then moved away.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple had already set up a yellow case on the east side of the Wenhua Hall. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet held the yellow list and placed it on the yellow case. Everything was ready.

As the new scholars entered the hall, the Jiaofangsi band began to play music on both sides of the Wenhua Hall.

It is the "Qingshan Music" commonly used in palace ceremonies. It is a famous elegant music that is played during every celebration and ancestor worship.

After the newly-appointed Jinshi performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows, the music began to change to the "Shangyuan Music".

One song is played.

The official of the Honglu Temple began to read out in a loud voice: "In the 28th year of Yong'an, I tested the tribute candidates in March. The first place was awarded the title of Jinshi. The second place was awarded the title of Jinshi Chuan. The third place was awarded the title of Tong Jinshi Chuan."

After this imperial edict was issued, all the new Jinshi were officially transformed from "Gongshi" to "Jinshi".

After the announcement was made and the first place in the first class was called out, Chen Mufeng had just heard his name when an official from the Honglu Temple led him out of the line and knelt down on the Zuoyu Road.

The left is the most respected, and the top scholar kneels on the left imperial road.

Soon Zhang Shuhan's name was sung, and the runner-up knelt down on the right imperial road.

Xie Yunze was the third place in the imperial examination and was kneeling behind Chen Mufeng.

Only three people in the first class have this honor, while those in the second and third classes only need to sing the announcement and do not need to kneel down.

After the singing, "Shangyuan Music" was played again.

Three hundred Jinshi performed the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows to Emperor Yong'an.

The ceremony in Wenhua Hall is basically over.

Emperor Yong'an returned to the palace.

The official from the Ministry of Rites received the yellow notice on a cloud disk, and led the way out of the Wenhua Hall with a yellow umbrella, followed by drums, music and imperial sticks.

Three hundred Jinshi and hundreds of civil and military officials followed the yellow list, with Chen Mufeng at the lead. They passed Taihe Gate and Wumen Gate, and walked all the way to the outside of Chang'an Gate, where they posted the yellow list on the palace wall.

The ceremony is completed only after the successful candidates have viewed the list.

The yellow notice will be posted for three days.

Afterwards, an official put a red belt and a big red flower on Chen Mufeng, and after toasting him, he rode on a tall white horse.

The top scholar must ride a white horse, this is the rule.

Then, they paraded through the streets on horseback.

The people in the capital all knew that there would be a number one scholar riding a horse in a parade today. It was very lively and the streets were already crowded with people.

In order to avoid congestion and affect the parade of the top scholar on horseback, soldiers had already gone there in advance to maintain order and separate the people on both sides of the street, leaving a wide passage in the middle.

Chen Mufeng rode on a white horse, with an upright posture and handsome face. His bright red top scholar uniform was extremely dazzling in the sun, causing the people on both sides of the street to cheer.

He kept talking.

Even many young ladies in the capital city waited early in nearby teahouses, opened the windows and looked out onto the street, just to catch a glimpse of the number one scholar.

When they saw Chen Mufeng riding on a white horse with a big red flower on his chest, handsome, outstanding and talented, many young ladies blushed and fell in love with him.

Even many women who never left their houses came out to watch.

Some of the bolder girls screamed with excitement and shouted words so loud that it made people's ears burn.

Or throw your scented purse handkerchief at him.

Zhang Shuhan and Xie Yunze are actually good-looking, but they pale in comparison when they are next to Chen Mufeng.

At this moment, almost all the people on the street were looking at Chen Mufeng, as if he could glow and attract everyone's attention.

It was bustling and noisy, with constant discussions.

The Marquis of Zhenguo was sitting in a teahouse not far away, watching through the window.

Thinking of finding a son-in-law from the list.

He has several unmarried daughters.

But then he heard his colleagues talking about how the number one scholar already had a wife and had recently given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. He could only regretfully give up this idea.

Then, he turned his attention to Zhang Shuhan and Xie Yunze.

Although these two people are not as outstanding as Chen Mufeng, they are also extremely outstanding.

Especially Xie Yunze, he is the eldest grandson of Lord Xie and comes from a noble family.

However, he didn't dare to just capture Lord Xie's grandson to be his son-in-law.

Otherwise, Lord Xie would be the first one not to let him go.

Finally, only Zhang Shuhan was left.

Zhang Shuhan didn't know he was being targeted. He just sat astride the tall horse with an excited look on his face.

Mrs. Liu had just bought two maids from the pawnbroker and was about to go back when she saw the young master riding a horse through the streets, so she stopped to watch.

She said proudly to the two newly bought maids behind her: "See? The one riding on the white horse is my young master, the new number one scholar. He is extremely talented and handsome, and was just appointed by the emperor as a sixth-rank official in the Imperial Academy. In the future, follow my young master and work hard. I won't treat you unfairly."

The two maids nodded hurriedly, their faces full of flattery, echoing what Mrs. Liu said and praising her repeatedly.

Chen Mufeng just smiled faintly at the enthusiasm of the people and did not express much.

As for the handkerchiefs and sachets thrown to him by the girls, he naturally would not take them.

Unless he wants to kneel on the washboard and sleep in the study for a month when he goes back.

After the parade, the Qionglin Banquet was held that evening. It was a grand banquet held for the newly-appointed Jinshi, and was personally hosted by the emperor as a token of his favor.

The venue is located in the Imperial Garden.

As the top scholar, Chen Mufeng was naturally placed in the most conspicuous position.

He had a big red flower on his chest, had a handsome face and looked very energetic. He greeted everyone with a smile, attracting many people's attention.

Several unmarried princesses hid secretly in the imperial garden and watched, whispering to each other.

The fifth princess, Xiao Nanqi, was also inside, but her face did not look very good.

It was because the maidservants around her reported back that Chen Mufeng had already married and had just given birth to twins. She was a princess, so it was impossible for her to be someone's mistress.

But she just happened to like Chen Mufeng, and naturally felt uncomfortable.

"Look at that top scholar. He is so handsome and has an outstanding temperament. It is rare to see such a demeanor."

"Yes, and I heard that he is also very talented. My father admired him very much and appointed him to an official position on the spot. It's a pity that he already has a family and a pair of children, otherwise he would be a perfect candidate for a husband."

After hearing this, the Fifth Princess Xiao Nanqi frowned slightly and snorted, "So what if he has a wife and children? A man with talent and bearing is hard to come by. It would be a pity if we missed him just because of this."

When the other princesses heard this, they were all surprised and looked at each other.

The eldest princess showed a look of disapproval after hearing this and advised, "Fifth sister, please don't do anything reckless. This number one scholar has already married, and we are princesses, we are precious and we can't do such a disgraceful thing. If the emperor finds out, he will not forgive you."

The royal family can't afford to lose face.

Xiao Nanqi frowned, but didn't say anything. It was certain that he was unwilling in his heart.

It's rare to fall in love with a man, but he turns out to be married with children. It makes me feel so uncomfortable.

She looked through the flowers and trees in the imperial garden, took a deep look at Chen Mufeng who was greeting everyone politely, stamped her feet in anger, and left angrily.

Chen Mufeng didn't know all this. After the Qionglin Banquet ended, he left the palace with the other Jinshi.

However, at the corner of the palace road, he met Xiao Nanqi, followed by two palace maids.

Chen Mufeng recognized at a glance that this was the elegant woman he had seen in the palace in the morning. He only guessed that she was probably a noble in the palace, but he didn't know her specific identity.

Confused, he bowed politely and prepared to leave.

Xiao Nanqi called him, "Please stay, Mr. Top Scholar."

The other scholars glanced at the two of them with different expressions, but they did not stay and left quickly.

Zhang Shuhan and Li Mingxuan looked at each other, but did not leave. They just stood far away and waited.

The two men could tell that this woman was a noble lady in the palace, and she seemed to have something to say to Brother Chen.

Chen Mufeng stopped and turned to look at Xiao Nanqi with a calm expression, "What's the matter, young lady?"

Xiao Nanqi walked over and looked at his handsome face. She was moved and said softly, "The champion is very talented. I admire him very much. I wonder if he has a wife."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Mufeng frowned, a bad premonition arose in his heart, and his heart sank.

Although he didn't know who this woman was, since she called herself "this princess", he knew she was a princess.

As for the concubines in the palace, they would never ask themselves whether to get married.

Unless they are older and have concubines who are princesses.

But the woman in front of him was in her prime, so it was obviously not the case.

His expression was normal, but his tone was a little cold, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I have already married and have a pair of children. I am grateful that you have not abandoned me and have stayed with me until now."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, not wanting to get entangled with this woman any longer.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanqi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to block his way. "Wait a minute, Mr. Number One Scholar. I really admire your talent. Are you willing to be my consort? As long as you divorce your wife. Don't worry, I will send someone to take care of your children, and I won't mistreat them."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Mufeng's face instantly turned gloomy.

He looked at Xiao Nanqi coldly, his tone filled with anger, "Princess, please respect yourself. I am from a wealthy family, and my wife loves me deeply. How could I do such a thing as abandoning my first wife? If you appreciate my talent, please respect my choice. Otherwise, even if you are a princess, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, he turned away without even looking back.

Xiao Nanqi's face turned pale with anger at his words. The two palace maids behind her hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Princess, calm down. This champion is too rude to dare to talk back to you like this."

Xiao Nanqi gritted her teeth and looked at Chen Mufeng's departing back with hatred, "How dare you, Chen Mufeng, reject me like this? I have never failed to get any man I like. Just wait, one day, I will make you kneel before me willingly and beg for mercy."

Chen Mufeng walked forward quickly, angrily.

Zhang Shuhan and Li Mingxuan hurried over to him. They were shocked when they saw his gloomy face.

Brother Chen has a very good temper and rarely looks so unhappy.

"Brother Chen, what happened? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Zhang Shuhan couldn't help but ask.

Chen Mufeng stopped, took a deep breath, and then suppressed the anger in his heart.

He glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Nothing, let's go back."

After saying that, he took the lead and left.

Zhang Shuhan and Li Mingxuan looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes, but they didn't ask any more questions and just hurried to catch up.

The three of them left the palace and took a carriage home.

When Chen Mufeng returned home, it was already very late and his face was still gloomy.

There was a light on at the entrance of the house.

The two newly hired maids had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw him coming back, they hurried to greet him and bowed respectfully.

Chen Mufeng was slightly stunned and asked about it, only then did he know that they were newly bought by Mrs. Liu.

Seeing that she had not come back yet, Yaoer asked them to wait at the door.

He nodded slightly, said nothing, and quickly stepped in.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Yaoer lying on the bed, with the two children lying side by side beside her, sleeping soundly.

Seeing this scene, the anger in his heart subsided a little, and his face was replaced by tenderness.

He changed out of his eye-catching top scholar uniform, washed up, and was about to lie down on the bed when the noise woke Yu Yao up.

Yu Yao rubbed her eyes, saw him, and smiled faintly, "You're back? Is the Qionglin Banquet over?"

"Well, it's over."

Chen Mufeng nodded, and looking at her gentle smile, the haze in his heart was swept away.

He leaned over and kissed her face, whispering, "Yao'er, I love you, and I only want you."

Yu Yao blushed slightly after hearing this, and glared at him coquettishly, "Why are you so cheesy today? Why are you saying such things?"

But I felt something was wrong. It was normal to say that I loved her, but it was obviously abnormal to say that I only wanted her.

I'm afraid something happened today.

She simply sat up, looked up at him, frowned and asked, "Are you worried about something? Did something happen at the Qionglin Banquet today?"

Chen Mufeng hesitated for a moment, but still told her everything about his encounter with Xiao Nanqi at the corner of the palace road, and how she made unreasonable demands and he sternly rejected them.

He didn't want to hide it. If any misunderstanding arose and affected their relationship, he would not want to see it.

When Yu Yao heard this, her face turned very ugly. "This princess is too much. She actually said such a thing and asked you to divorce me. Who does she think she is? Does she have any shame? She calls herself a princess, but she has no sense of propriety or honor."

She has never been a good person. If you dare to steal her man, you have to see if you have the ability to do so.

In her heart, she said to the system, "All, give that Xiao Nanxi a stinking pill, and another pill that will never cure him, won't kill him, but will keep him bedridden forever."

A smelly and sickly princess will be despised no matter how noble she is.

"it is good."

The system agreed readily. The host's mission was completed and he could leave this plane as soon as the child grew up.

If a woman comes along at this time to steal the mission from the male protagonist, she will naturally be severely punished.

"Okay, the Stink Pill and the Lingering Sickness Pill have been administered to Xiao Nanqi."

The system quickly spoke again.

After hearing this, Yu Yao's expression looked better.

She looked up at Chen Mufeng and said seriously: "Mufeng, you are mine, and you can only be mine. If someone dares to snatch you away, I will make them regret living in this world."

When she spoke later, her voice was full of coldness.

Chen Mufeng looked at her little face, his heart warmed, he held her in his arms, hugged her tightly, "Don't worry, Yao'er, I only want you, only you, no matter if it's the princess or anyone else, don't think of breaking us up."

He looked serious, his eyes full of affection.

The two smiled at each other, everything was said without words, and they hugged each other tighter.

Imperial Palace, Yihe Hall.

The next day, Xiao Nanqi woke up and just as he sat up, he let out a melodious fart that was loud and smelly.

She was stunned for a moment.

The few palace maids who were about to come over to serve were also stunned.

Without waiting for them to react.

"Puff puff"

Xiao Nanqi farted several more times in a row, each one louder and stinkier than the last.

The entire bedroom was filled with a strong stench that made people dizzy and almost fainted.

"Ahhh"

Xiao Nanqi let out a series of screams. She couldn't believe that she actually farted so smelly.

The faces of several palace maids changed drastically and they hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, fearing that they would faint from the stench.

One of the young palace maids couldn't bear it any longer, so she ran out with a pale face, holding onto the door frame and retching.

But she didn't dare to vomit, otherwise the princess would not let her go.

But she really wanted to vomit, it was so smelly that she wanted to faint.

Xiao Nanqi's face was extremely ugly, he was shocked and angry, but more of it was disbelief.

She is a princess, born into a royal family, and has been loved since childhood. When has she ever suffered such humiliation?
What's more, she was fine before going to bed last night, how come she became like this when she woke up?

There must be a reason for this.

"vomit"

Before she could think further, she leaned over the edge of the bed and vomited so hard that she almost vomited out the bitter bile in her stomach.

Even though she farted herself, it doesn't mean she can't smell it.

"Puff puff"

He farted several times in a row.

Xiao Nanqi was vomiting while wondering what was going on.

She thought of Chen Mufeng whom she met last night and what he said, and a bad feeling arose in her heart.

Could it be that he was the one behind this?
But then, she felt that the idea was a little ridiculous.

Chen Mufeng was just a scholar who had just passed the imperial examination. Even if he had some talent, how could he have such a method? To make himself fart as soon as he woke up?
No one would believe this.

What's more, after he left in anger last night, I went back to my bedroom and never saw him again. He should not have this opportunity.

Xiao Nanqi couldn't figure out the reason. He just felt ashamed and annoyed, and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

From childhood to adulthood, had she ever been so embarrassed?
"Someone, call the imperial physician."

She suppressed her shame and anger and shouted sternly.

"Puff puff"

When she yelled, she farted several times, and it smelled extremely bad.

The maid could no longer stay there and when she heard the princess's shouting, she ran away in a hurry.

Everyone rushed to call the imperial physician, just wanting to escape from this extremely smelly palace.

Xiao Nanqi didn't dare to stay here and ran to the next room, but the fart was her own and she would fart wherever she went.

The stench followed her like a shadow. She was so anxious that she cried and even fainted from the stench.

"Princess."

"Someone come quickly, the princess fainted."

There was a series of screams, and the entire Yihe Hall was in chaos.

By the time the imperial physician arrived, the news that the fifth princess had farted so much that she had passed out had spread throughout the harem in no time.

Even people outside the palace knew about it.

When Chen Mufeng heard about this, he was completely shocked. Last night, the Fifth Princess forced him to divorce his wife, so why did she do this today?

What happened in the middle?
However, no matter what happens, this is a good thing for me.

The princess is troubled by her fart and probably has no intention of coming to see me.

He breathed a sigh of relief and put the matter out of his mind. He wrote a letter to his family and asked someone to send it back as quickly as possible.

Tell Old Man Chen and Mrs. Wang that you have passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer.

Soon, he will return home to visit his relatives.

All new Jinshi candidates were given a two-month vacation, which was a grace from Emperor Yong'an, so that they could worship their ancestors.

Passing the imperial examination is a great event that brings honor to the family, and it also gives them time to return home.

Chen Mufeng thought that Yao'er had just given birth and the two children were not even a month old, so it seemed inappropriate to leave at this time.

I didn't want to leave at all.

But returning home to worship ancestors is a big deal, and I have to go back. And there are only two months of vacation. If I don't go back now, I won't have time later.

For a moment, I felt conflicted.
