I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

The eldest grandson of the emperor died of illness. Although there was no need for national mourning and filial piety as a rule, Emperor Longning's mood was affected. The ministers sympathized with the emperor's mood. Many things that were not urgent and had room for relaxation were delayed in this way.

The palace test is one of them.

In previous years, the interval between the general examination and the palace examination was at most ten days, but this year it was nearly a month, and no elder dared to arrange the date.As a result, the scholars who participated in the examination were temporarily stuck in the capital.It's hard to say whether it's a good thing for scholars to get together, and the ministers are also afraid that they will make some emotional disputes out of boredom, and cause troubles. After several elders discussed, they sent all the Jinshi who were above the second grade to the Imperial College.

Fast forward half a year, and after the Double Ninth Festival, Emperor Longning finally instructed the court elders to arrange a palace examination. Qin Jiahong even won the first place in the palace examination and became the number one scholar in the new department.

The Qin family naturally celebrated with great fanfare. Even Qin Mengzhang took his youngest son to the capital after holding a banquet in his hometown and entertaining a group of relatives. Naturally, Hui Niang was even more happy to see her uncle and cousin. It's a pity that Mung Dou didn't follow him to Beijing, but stayed in his hometown, where he was taken care of by his loyal servant for many years.

When Qin Mengzhang came to Beijing, it was inevitable to meet Qin Mengyuan——Qin Mengyuan didn't seem to know that there was a rift between him and Qin Mengzhang, and he had been in office for many years, so he had long been unemotional. When he saw Qin Mengzhang, his face was a little embarrassed Lu, first asked about the affairs of the village, and then praised Qin Jiahong.Qin Mengzhang was slightly uncomfortable at first, but when he talked about his eldest son, he gradually let go of the past.

Uncle meets her father—even though it appears that her father is receiving her relatives, Aninette is reluctant to show her face.Speaking of which, the number of times she went back to her mother's house in the past six months is not infrequent. First, Qin Jiarong's marriage was wrong two months later, but she also achieved good things in July. Lingniang also got married in August, and the two brothers and sisters were next to each other. One after the other, two weddings were arranged in a row, and the Shangshu Mansion was really in a hurry.

Then came the birthdays of Qin Mengyuan and Wei Shi.After going down several times in a row, Hui Niang found that she and Qin Jiarong's daughter-in-law, Gao Shi, were very close.

Although compared with the Qin family, the Gao family is not from a wealthy family, nor can it be regarded as a scholarly family, but Gao's personality is friendly and lovely, and he is not scheming. After a few months of marriage, not only did the old lady and Wei Even Qin Mengyuan is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law - but he is indifferent to Qin Jiarong, and only takes the word "considerate and decent".

However, even so, Qin Jiarong didn't hate her, and even reprimanded Bai Shu after Bai Shu provoked dissension several times.

Such a good girl, to be allocated to Qin Jiarong is really a waste of money!Hui Niang felt that it was a pity, even she unknowingly walked around with her natal family more often, just to talk more with Gao Shi.

This time when he returned to his natal home, Qin Mengyuan also mentioned Shanniang's marriage——Qin Jiahong's high school champion. His marriage is not easy to decide with a few words. Tell the champion sister into the house.Knowing the family relationship between Qin Mengyuan and Qin Jiahong, it is not a surprise to pass the words to Qin Mengyuan.

At first, Hui Niang was worried that Wei Shi would be a hindrance, and she wanted to tell Shanniang to her natal nephew, but this time Wei Shi didn't change her dirty thoughts—after all, after being reborn, Wei Wei seemed to have really changed her mind. Sexually, she has never interfered in the marriage of the younger generation in the family, which is completely different from the previous life.

In the end, Qin Mengyuan and Qin Mengzhang still selected a new Jinshi. He was slightly older than Qin Jiahong. Although his grades were not as good as Qin Jiahong's, but at this age, Jinshi was famous and had never been married. Such a candidate was hard to find.Qin Mengyuan even asked someone to inquire about it. This Jinshi Meng's family is also considered a prominent family. Although his family is not the clan head, he is a double relative with the head of the clan clan. suffer.

Moreover, as the second son in the family, Shanniang would not be the eldest daughter-in-law after marrying, so she would have to bear less responsibility. Qin Mengzhang and Zou didn't have to worry about their daughter all the time.

In this marriage, Hui Niang thinks about it and can't find any faults. The only regret is that after Shan Niang gets married, if the uncle does not stay in the capital, the two sisters will have fewer opportunities to meet in the future.Thinking of this, even after the marriage is settled, Shanniang should logically go back to the hometown with her parents to prepare the dowry, but Huiniang still struggled to talk and left Shanniang in the capital.However, even if Shanniang stays, there is no reason to live in Prince Tan's Mansion, only Qin's.In this way, the number of times Aniliang went to Prince Tan's mansion, or sent people to Prince Tan's mansion to pick up Shanniang was just a few times more.

Qin Mengzhang and Zou's couple had to go back to their hometown before the twelfth lunar month to prepare for ancestor worship and other matters. The eldest son and daughter stayed in the capital, but the youngest son had to be with him.Hui Niang saw off her uncle, aunt and cousin, and talked with Shanniang for a while, comforting her cousin who had left her parents for the first time and lived in a relative's house, and returned to the mansion feeling a little tired. Zi Su immediately greeted her.

Before Zou's departure, she had personally secured the matchmaker and arranged a marriage for Zisu. Now that Zisu was waiting to be married, naturally she had to avoid Qin Jiarong and avoid going to Qin's house.Hui Niang arranged for her and Ban Xia to switch errands and take care of the affairs of the house.When she comes back, Zisu will naturally report to her what happened today, and if someone sends her a post, or if there is any news from the palace, she must be notified in time.

"Your Highness, as soon as you went out today, Princess Rongcheng sent someone to deliver a letter to you."

Hui Niang was letting Banxia take off the top of her head, and took off the earrings by herself, when she heard that Princess Rongcheng had sent a letter, her movements stopped.Recently, Shan Niang was with her, and the atmosphere in the palace after the death of the eldest grandson of the emperor was heavy. There was always a posture of imminent rain, and she didn't go into the palace when she had nothing to do, and she also alienated Princess Rongcheng a little bit.

Now that Princess Rongcheng took the initiative to deliver the letter, Hui Niang opened it and took a quick look at it. Sure enough, as she expected, Princess Rongcheng's letter was an appointment with her to meet at Prince Tan's mansion.Thinking about it, the atmosphere in the palace was oppressive, and the princess also wanted to find a chance to come out and relax.

Hui Niang walked into the study immediately, picked up a pen and wrote back to Princess Rongcheng, and handed it to Zisu, "It's getting late today, and I'll send someone to the palace tomorrow."

Zisu received the reply, and discussed some household matters with Huiniang. Wang Yan walked in from the outside before leaving the room.

***

Princess Rongcheng may have been bored in the palace for too long, almost as soon as she received the letter from Hui Niang, she came to visit Prince Yi's mansion the next day.

Naturally, Anisel must be hospitable and entertaining, and she is ready to listen to her complaints.I don't want Princess Rongcheng to complain about the palace after she arrived, nor did she take Aunian to ride a horse or play games, but instead she wentssip a lot without saying anything.

Although Princess Rongcheng has a lively personality, she just likes to play, not gossiping.And judging from her various performances after her arrival, she obviously came with a purpose, but from the beginning to the end...

Hui Niang was a little doubtful in her heart, but when she spoke to Princess Rongcheng, she was a bit slow to react, but she didn't rush until she sent Princess Rongcheng out of the gate of Prince Yi's mansion, walked slowly back to the inner courtyard, and stayed in a daze for a while. Aftertaste.

Princess Rongcheng just said what she said, but she has been inquiring about her uncle's family all the time!

First ask her what she did that day, and she naturally replied to send her cousin and aunt away from Beijing.Princess Rongcheng knew that she grew up in her cousin's family and had a deep relationship with her cousin's family, so she took the opportunity to ask why her cousin's family returned to their hometown at this time, and asked some things about her cousins—even unintentionally. I've been to Qin Jiahong a few times.It was because Hui Niang was too absent-minded that she didn't immediately feel startled, and found that Princess Rongcheng mentioned a man too frequently.

When she regained her senses, she was really a little frightened.If her guess is true, then... the consort of the imperial court always pays attention to not being involved in political affairs. Even if Princess Rongcheng finally gets her wish, Qin Jiayu, the number one scholar, will inevitably suffer from the reputation of the princess for the rest of his life.

However, given how much Emperor Longning and the Empress loved Princess Rongcheng, they might not be reluctant to part with this little champion.After all, although Qin Jiahong is talented, he has not yet shown his talent. Even this talent—he is not the youngest number one scholar since the founding of the country.Just say that three years ago, the champion of the last subject was only two years older than him. Speaking of which, the age difference is not too much. After staying in the Imperial Academy for three years, he has now been released. Compared with him, Qin Jiahong It's not too overpowering either.

Hui Niang's conflicts are only because Qin Jiahong is her cousin, who grew up together and knows everything.Otherwise, based on her friendship with Princess Rongcheng, she would only think that so what if he is the number one scholar?A princess who can be the queen's descendant, the number one scholar is also a high climber.

"Miss." Ban Xia called Hui Niang, and now she is the only one among the three maids who occasionally calls out the old address, and it is often when she notices that Hui Niang looks different.

"how?"

"My servant sees that the girl's face has been somber since she sent Her Royal Highness away, is it our prince..."

"It has nothing to do with the lord." Hui Niang shook her head, pondered for a while, but still didn't tell Ban Xia her guess.

After all, it's just my private guess. Princess Rongcheng hasn't revealed her intention yet. Even if Banxia is her confidant and she has her trust, this kind of marriage involving men and women will easily make people behind her back if she is not careful. It's not good to confide in pointing things at will, and if you don't do it well, you will get a bad reputation.

Even Wang Yan, she was still hesitating whether to tell or not.

She could tell that Wang Yan valued Qin Jiahong very much, but at the same time, the brother-sister relationship between him and Princess Rongcheng was also very deep.Even if Wang Yan was told, firstly, she had no evidence, and she might be suspected of being a villain just by guessing, secondly, she was not sure whether Wang Yan would help her and mess up the matter.

Hui Niang still can't fully trust Wang Yan, and she can't confirm that he can stand by her side in all situations.For more than a year, she hadn't encountered anything at all, but when something happened to her now, she was a little flustered.

Even Ban Xia could see that she was wrong...

Hui Niang forced a smile, but felt that the more she thought about it, the more confused she got, she simply got up and went to the study room, spread out the paper, took out the copybook and began to copy.After writing two large characters, my mood really calmed down. When I turned my head, I noticed that Banxia was standing beside me cutting candles, and then realized that it was getting late, and it was past the time for dinner on weekdays.

"My lord hasn't come back yet?" Hui Niang asked Ban Xia, turning her head to the side.

"Not yet..." Banxia had just said a few words, when Lianqiao lifted the curtain and walked in, "Sister Banxia, ​​the prince is back." When she looked up, she saw that Hui Niang had put down the pen in her hand, and then Concentrating on his expression, he repeated what he just said.

Hui Niang nodded slightly, patted the corner of her skirt, and walked out of the study.Wang Yan just entered the main house at this time, he had already changed out of the fine clothes he had gone out, and was wearing homely clothes, but his face was serious, he didn't know what happened.

"What? What's the matter?" Hui Niang hurriedly went up to meet her. In her memory, they had been married for more than a year, and Wang Yan rarely brought the outside emotions back to the mansion, especially the main house where the two of them lived. bedroom.If you came in today full of worries, something big must have happened.

Wang Yan stared at Hui Niang for a while, then pursed his lips, and said, "This afternoon, the Empress sent someone to call me into the palace."

Hui Niang's heart sank, and she immediately felt something was wrong.

"Your Majesty asked me, your cousin... Brother Jiayu, did you ever have a marriage contract, and said..."
