Chapter seven hundred and thirty sixth imperial examination storm
Gao Ziyue felt that among the peers she had met, Chu Huaining would definitely be in the top three in terms of intelligence and strength.
"I bet on Xu Yan, and I support him no matter how long it is."
Xu Qing also smiled, with a look of firmness in her eyes.
When she just heard the news that Aunt Lu was pregnant, she felt a bolt from the blue.
However, she is extremely lucky that Aunt Lu is pregnant at this time.
Mrs. Xu has no experience paying attention to them now.
Xu Yan took this time to take the imperial examination.
She took advantage of this opportunity to think about her future life and then figured out how to find a reliable husband's family for herself.
"Since that's the case, I'll bet on Gao Ziheng."
Murong Hui smiled and felt that since they had chosen people, she simply chose one that they had never chosen.
"Your Highness, just wait and ask us to dinner at the Zhuangyuan Building. I know how capable my brother is. He has not passed the exam for two years."
Gao Ziyue curled her lips and said with a giggle.
Even though she said this, she still hoped that Gao Ziheng would pass the exam this time.
He can at least get the favor of his father, and they can live a better life in the three of them.
"If you lose, then I will invite you to the top room in the Zhuangyuan Building for dinner."
Murong Hui doesn't care, and she doesn't think Gao Ziheng will lose.
Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing both nodded, but did not show any excitement. They were obviously worried about their own affairs.
Murong Hui simply didn't say anything more. The two sat for a while before returning to Ningcui Palace.
"Although they lived a little cautiously in their lives, they were not worried. Now they have too many things to worry about and are restless all day long, so I feel sad."
After seeing the two of them leave, Murong Hui couldn't help but sigh.
"How can a person not encounter any troubles when he is alive? It will be fine if his highness does not need to be attentive. Your two companions are blessed."
Madam Huang hurriedly comforted her and looked at Murong Hui helplessly, feeling that among them, the most problematic one among them was Murong Hui.
Due to the imperial examination, the three of them were always in a state of anxiety.
Until the day the results of the provincial examination were released, Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing got up early in the morning. Both of them stared at dark circles and their faces were full of anxiety.
"Are you two? You are just taking the exam for the child, and you will also take the exam for scholars, juren, and jinshi in the future. You will always drag down your bodies like this."
When Murong Hui saw them like this, she hurriedly spoke and reminded her.
"Your Highness, I'll have a break tomorrow. You have to invite us to the Zhuangyuan Building for dinner."
Gao Ziyue forced a smile, but she felt a little nervous. She suddenly didn't want to go to the Zhuangyuan Building for dinner.
"Let's go to the study room. If you don't leave, it's too late. Anyway, the results will not be released until noon."
Murong Hui grabbed the two of them and walked towards the study with a smile.
The two were restless all morning, and after school at noon, they hurried to inquire about the news.
Murong Hui did not follow him, but sent Qingyue to inquire.
She went back to the East Parting Hall first and asked Madam Zhang to cook a few more dishes. She thought in her mind that if one of Xu Yan and Gao Ziheng failed the exam, they would definitely not be in a good mood, and they would also comfort them at that time.
As soon as she set the meal, she saw Qingyue running back. Her hair was messy, but her face was full of joy.
Seeing her like this, Murong Hui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Have you all passed the exam?"
"Of course, I passed the exam, but the three of them were not in the same state. I'm afraid the rankings are not easy to rank."
Qingyue was thinking that Murong Hui would spend a meal and invited two companions to go to the top student building for dinner.
"Your Highness, this is really good news."
Xu Qing and Gao Ziyue walked in at this time. Xu Qing was busy wiping her tears. Gao Ziyue looked excited. After running in, she took Murong Hui's hand and said excitedly.
"We will go to the Zhuangyuan Building for dinner tomorrow, and I will treat you."
Before Murong Hui could speak, Gao Ziyue said excitedly again.
"Let's get some money, don't you give it alone."
Xu Qing burst into tears and laughed, pulled Gao Ziyue and shouted.
"Mrs. Xu thought she knew that Xu Yan had passed the exam and went to find out about her words. If she played any tricks, it would be troublesome."
Murong Hui thought for a moment and suddenly spoke.
She has heard of some families who have tried to prevent their children from taking imperial examinations from appearing in a row.
"Don't worry, your highness, my second uncle is working there. After Xu Yan passed by, he lived in my second uncle's house."
Xu Qing smiled, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm. Others wouldn't tell her this, and only Murong Hui and Gao Ziyue would think so much about her.
Murong Hui then breathed a sigh of relief, and someone urged her to serve fruit wine. The three of them ate and drank, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
The next morning, the three of them rushed to the Zhuangyuan Building. If you didn’t make an appointment in such a place in advance, you would definitely not be able to book a seat.
Murong Hui still used the royal identity and booked a room.
"Your Highness, let's order a carp leaping over the dragon gate. I have only heard of this dish before, but I haven't eaten it yet."
This dish is the signature dish of Zhuangyuanlou, so it is very famous, but the supply is very limited, and it is difficult to eat even if you book in advance.
Murong Hui raised her eyebrows, and thought she knew that Gao Ziyue wanted to enjoy the royal privileges, so she smiled and nodded.
The three of them, together with Sang Ning, ordered six dishes, but after just after eating, they were all tilted on the chair and moved unhappily.
Sangning lay beside the window and looked outside, feeling that the roads around him were unfamiliar and noisy, which made people feel much more peaceful.
"Your Highness, that person seems to be the eldest son."
Madam Huang's eyes were sharp-eyed, and she glanced outside inadvertently, and saw someone standing outside the Zhuangyuan Building.
Murong Hui also glanced out the window and saw Murong Kai standing outside.
He seemed to be with the people next to him and did not notice them.
Soon, the middle-aged man who was talking to Murong Kai suddenly grabbed Murong Kai's arm and pulled him to the carriage beside him.
"Go and ask what's going on?"
Seeing this, Murong Hui couldn't help but frown, thinking that Murong Kai was in a very bad condition now.
After responding, Madam Huang hurried downstairs, called Murong Hui's two guards, and walked towards Murong Kai and the middle-aged man.
Murong Hui looked at the few people on it, as if she was arguing.
It was unknown how long it took, but Murong Kai looked up at her with a smile, rode his horse and left.
The middle-aged man looked unwilling and asked someone to catch the carriage, so he followed Murong Kai, obviously still unwilling to accept it.
Soon after, Madam Huang came up and said with a look of fear: "The person downstairs is the newly promoted General Manager Chang from the Prince Ling's Mansion. It seems that he is standing completely on Concubine Shen's side. If it weren't for the old slave who went down just now, the eldest prince would probably be forced to take back to Prince Ling's Mansion by him."
"This concubine is not as good as Princess Ling in the past. She has no demeanor at all and has done many things inappropriately."
Xu Qing had to attend Duke Xu's mansion every holiday, so she often heard those wives and wives talking about new things in each family.
There are naturally many things about this concubine. In the eyes of all wives, this concubine has no advantages except with the support of the old concubine Ling.
Murong Hui sneered, agreed, and drank tea with the three of them for a while before returning to the palace.
In the next few days, Xu Yan and his team's results were passed back one after another. At first, they were a little excited, but in the end they even calmed down.
Half a month later, the scholar's grades came. The three of them passed the scholar's exam without any surprises, but Gao Ziyue still guessed this time.
Gao Ziheng got the last place in the exam, and he passed the scholar by luck.
"It seems I have to ask for a meal, Yue'er, you really know your dear brother."
Murong Hui couldn't help but tease her, and her eyes were even more cramped.
"Your Highness, you don't need to invite me this time. It's really my ancestors who can get into a scholar. I'll invite me this time."
Gao Ziyue laughed and circled around the small living room. She started crying while laughing, and murmured in a low voice: "He finally knows that he is motivating, and it's not in vain that his mother endured for him for so many years."
Xu Qing's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and the originally cheerful atmosphere instantly became solemn.
"You guys don't even do this. Come and eat more. I'll have to accompany me to ride and archery class in the afternoon."
Seeing that the two of them were sad again, Murong Hui hurriedly spoke and urged.
"Your Highness, can you not be so disappointed? He is in a bad mood."
Gao Ziyue wiped her tears and complained.
"Your Highness, I have to take a leave tomorrow to go home. The wife seems to have been reminiscent of the past few days and is convincing his father to force Xu Yan to return to Beijing."
Xu Qing recovered from her senses, frowned and said to Murong Hui.
"My aunt is planning to be a second wife, so I have to go back and help my mother."
Gao Ziyue looked cold, and this expression had never appeared on her face before.
Murong Hui couldn't help but be surprised and asked in confusion: "Why do it all happen? I thought that the couples in the world were like my aunt and uncle-in-law, and no matter how bad they were, I was like driftwood."
Xu Qing laughed miserably and said helplessly: "Your Highness, there are very few monogamous people like the emperor and the empress, or like your parents, and most of them are like Yue'er's parents."
Gao Ziyue also nodded in conjunction and said helplessly: "Your Highness, you are different from us. Even if you marry someone in the future, you can make your son-in-law kneel down to you. You may not allow him to take a concubine."
Murong Hui's face turned red suddenly, and she looked at Gao Ziyue speechlessly.
Gao Ziyue laughed, completely different from the way she cried just now.
"Madam Huang went to take the bright pieces of material for them and took them home tomorrow, and give them to whoever they were happy."
Murong Hui did this just to make it clear to the two families that Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing have such a backer as her, which can be regarded as adding some confidence to them.
