Chapter 515 The soft and bullying sister-in-law VS the sinister brother-in-law who was borrowed 65
Chen Mufeng looked at her happy look and felt very happy in his heart.
The two children had already received milk and were sleeping soundly in bed side by side. Babies in confinement spend most of their time sleeping.
Seeing the two children sleeping soundly, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
It is not easy to raise children, especially during the confinement period.
Aunt Liu helps me during the day, but it’s hard to ask someone to help me at night.
Yu Yao reached out and touched the little buttocks of the two children. Fortunately, they didn't pee or poop, so there was no need to change them.
"Yao'er, Aunt Liu has to do laundry and cooking, and she usually takes care of everything at home. You need to take care of your health during confinement, and it's not convenient to take care of the child. How about I ask Aunt Liu to go to the dental shop tomorrow to buy two more? The experienced mother-in-law came back to take care of Yu'er and Yue'er."
Chen Mufeng tucked the two children into bed and said aloud.
When Yu Yao heard what he said, she nodded slightly, but did not refuse, "That's fine, please bring two people back, and I'll be more relaxed."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Chen Mufeng told Mrs. Liu about going to the dental shop to buy someone, and Yao'er would take care of him after buying him.
Today is the grand ceremony of passing on the emperor, and he has to go to the palace later, so he is not free.
"Okay, sir, I will go to the tooth shop after I finish my work later."
Mrs. Liu agreed with a smile.
Then, he retreated.
Chen Mufeng had just finished breakfast when an official from the imperial court brought him the No. 1 Scholar uniform.
"Guys, thank you for your work."
He took out some silver from his pocket and rewarded several officials.
"You are so polite, Lord No. 1 Scholar. You guys are lucky enough to be able to congratulate you, Lord No. 1 Scholar."
Several officials complimented Chen Mufeng extremely, said a few polite words, and then left.
Chen Mufeng changed into the champion uniform and prepared to enter the palace.
As soon as he went out, Li Mingxuan's bookboy Li Lei drove a carriage over to pick him up.
Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan were both sitting in the carriage, each wearing new clothes.
It’s just that Zhang Shuhan is wearing the No. 2 uniform with a golden pattern embroidered on the chest.
Although Li Mingxuan is wearing regular clothes, he is also very handsome. The material of his clothes is excellent, and the price is high at first glance.
The three of them chatted and joked for a while, then the carriage set off slowly 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 scholars who are preparing to enter the palace to participate in the Chuanlu Ceremony.
A total of three hundred people.
Chen Mufeng got off the carriage, wearing a bright red No. 1 Scholar uniform, which made his face even more handsome and his posture as tall as a pine tree.
He was extremely eye-catching in the crowd, attracting envy and discussion.
He calmly adjusted his sleeves and turned a deaf ear to all the comments coming from his ears without any disturbance.
Along the way, he has learned to be unfazed by honor and disgrace.
Zhang Shuhan and Li Mingxuan followed him, equally eye-catching.
Especially Zhang Shuhan, dressed in the second place uniform, is still very eye-catching.
Xie Yunze was dressed in a flower-dressing uniform, and his eyes fell on Chen Mufeng. He looked at him for a moment, then 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 talented and better than himself.
Although he was convinced that he had lost, it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable.
But he didn't say anything unpleasant, he just stood there with a calm expression.
As the time came, the palace door slowly opened.
An eunuch walked out of it, flicking the dust in his hand, and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "The ceremony of passing on the body is about to begin, please enter the palace one by one, Jinshi."
After hearing this, everyone arranged their clothes and robes one after another, and lined up in order to enter the palace.
As the number one scholar, Chen Mufeng naturally walked at the front. He held his head high and walked steadily into the palace gate, with a long line of Jinshi behind him.
The fifth princess, Xiao Nanqi, had long heard that the new champion was talented and handsome, and was highly appreciated by her father. Yesterday, she was awarded an official title by her father on the spot in the Jinluan Palace.
She was curious and wanted to come over and have a look.
Behind him were a group of eunuchs and maids. The group came to the palace gate in a mighty manner, and happened to see the new Jinshi entering the palace.
Xiao Nanqi caught a glimpse of Chen Mufeng walking in the front. His bright red uniform made him look like a crown jewel, he was handsome and outstanding.
Her heart moved and her face turned red quietly.
I couldn't help but secretly praise him: What a handsome and talented champion.
Chen Mufeng also noticed the fifth princess. After all, it was difficult not to see such a big battle.
He turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of the fifth princess, who was dressed in luxurious palace attire and had a delicate and dignified face, staring at him with burning eyes.
He paused in his heart, quickly looked away, and continued walking forward as usual.
Although I don’t know his identity, I can guess that he must be a noble person in the palace.
Fortunately, the two sides are not on the same palace road, so there is no need to deliberately stop and salute.
Seeing Chen Mufeng's calmness and calmness, Xiao Nanqi admired him even more.
She did not come forward to disturb him, she just stood there quietly and watched Chen Mufeng leading the Jinshi people away.
It wasn't until their figures disappeared into the depths of the long palace road that Xiao Nanqi withdrew his gaze. His eyes flashed slightly, and there was a hint of light flashing under his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Princess, the number one scholar is truly worthy of his reputation. I have never seen such a handsome and talented man."
A palace maid couldn't help but praise.
Xiao Nanqi smiled softly, "He is indeed talented. 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 don't know if the number one scholar has a wife."
When the palace maid heard this, she understood that the princess was interested in the number one scholar. She smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, princess. I will send someone to inquire about him right now."
After that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Nanqi looked at the leaving figure of the palace maid, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and showed a meaningful smile.
Chen Mufeng didn't know that he had accidentally provoked a peach blossom or a golden branch.
At this time, he had already led all the Jinshi to the Wenhua Hall where the grand ceremony of passing on Lu was held.
At this time, Luan Yiwei, Jiaofangsi Band and Drum Guards were waiting on both sides of the Wenhua Hall gate.
As the etiquette officer sang loudly, "The new scholar enters the palace~"
Chen Mufeng, Zhang Shuhan, and Xie Yunze were the first to enter the hall, and the other Jinshi entered in sequence and stood in order.
Inside the Wenhua Hall.
Emperor Yong'an sat high on the dragon chair, wearing a golden dragon robe, looking majestically at the new scholars below.
His eyes stayed on Chen Mufeng for a few seconds, admiration flashing in his eyes.
Both sides were filled with civil and military officials, all wearing court uniforms and ranked according to rank.
The leader is the prince in court uniform. Several princes are sitting behind, all looking at these new scholars.
The third prince glanced at Chen Mufeng, Zhang Shuhan, and Li Mingxuan inadvertently, and then moved away.
The official of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites had already set up a yellow table on the east side of the Wenhua Hall. The cabinet bachelor held the yellow list and placed it on the yellow table. Everything was ready.
As the new Jinshi entered the hall, the Jiaofangsi band began to play music on both sides of the Wenhua Hall.
It is the "Celebrating Good Music" commonly used in palace ceremonies. It is a famous elegant music. This music is played during every celebration and ancestor worship.
After the new scholar knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, he began to change the music to "Shangyuan Music".
One song is played.
The official of Honglu Temple began to read in a loud voice: "In the 28th year of Yong'an, in March, I tried to test the world's tributes. The first A was awarded a Jinshi and passed. The second A was awarded a Jinshi background. The third A was awarded a Jinshi background. .”
After passing this imperial examination, all the new scholars have officially changed from "tribute scholars" to "jinshi".
After the announcement was made and the first place was sung, as soon as Chen Mufeng heard his name, an official from Honglu Temple led him out of the line and knelt down on Zuoyu Road.
The left is the honor, and the number one scholar kneels on the left imperial road.
Soon Zhang Shuhan's name was sung, and the second person knelt down on the right imperial road.
Xie Yunze was the top pick, kneeling behind Chen Mufeng.
Only the first and third graders have this honor. The second and third graders only sing the newspaper and do not need to kneel down in line.
After singing, "Shangyuan Music" started playing again.
Three hundred Jinshi knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to pay homage to Emperor Yong'an.
The ceremony in Wenhua Hall is basically over.
Emperor Yong'an got up and drove back to the palace.
The official of the Hall of Rites used a cloud disk to connect the yellow list, and the yellow umbrella led the way out of the Wenhua Hall, followed by the drum and music staff.
Three hundred Jinshi, civil and military officials followed behind the yellow list, led by Chen Mufeng, passed by Taihe Gate, Meridian Gate, and all the way to the Chang'an Gate, where they posted the yellow list on the palace wall.
The etiquette is only completed after the Jinshi has viewed the list.
The yellow list will be posted for three days.
Afterwards, officials put a red ribbon on Chen Mufeng's head and a big red flower on his head. After toasting him, he rode a tall white horse.
The number one scholar must ride a white horse. This is the rule.
Afterwards, there was a parade on horseback.
The people in the capital all know that today the number one scholar will parade through the streets, which is very lively and the streets are already crowded with people.
In order not to cause congestion and affect the champion's horse-riding parade, officers and soldiers were sent in advance to maintain order, separate the people on both sides of the street, and leave a spacious passage in the middle.
Chen Mufeng was riding on a white horse, with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face. His bright red No. 1 Scholar uniform was extremely dazzling in the sun, making the people on both sides of the street cheer.
He kept talking in his mouth.
In fact, many young ladies in the capital had been waiting in nearby teahouses early, opening their windows and looking out onto the street, just to catch a glimpse of the champion.
When they saw Chen Mufeng riding on a white horse with a big red flower on his chest, he was handsome, outstanding and talented, many ladies turned red in the face and secretly expressed their feelings.
Even many female relatives who stayed home came out to watch.
Some bold girls screamed with excitement and shouted words that made people's ears warm.
Or throw your scented purse handkerchief at him.
Zhang Shuhan and Xie Yunze are actually good-looking, but when they are together with Chen Mufeng, they look much worse.
At this moment, almost all the people on the street were looking at Chen Mufeng, as if he could shine and attract everyone's attention.
It was noisy and noisy, and there was endless discussion.
Marquis Zhen Guo was sitting in a teahouse not far away, watching through the window.
I thought about catching my son-in-law.
He has several unmarried daughters.
But when I heard colleagues talking about it, saying that the number one scholar had already had a wife, and not long ago he even gave birth to a pair of twins, I could only regretfully give up this idea.
Then, he set his sights on Zhang Shuhan and Xie Yunze.
Although these two people are not as outstanding as Chen Mufeng, they are still extremely outstanding.
Especially Xie Yunze, who is the eldest grandson of Mr. Xie Ge and comes from a noble family.
However, he would not dare to capture Mr. Xie Ge's grandson casually and make him his son-in-law.
Otherwise, Mr. Xie Ge would not let him go first.
In the end, only Zhang Shuhan was left.
Zhang Shuhan didn't know he was being targeted yet, so he just sat astride the tall horse with an excited look on his face.
Mrs. Liu had just gone to Yahang to buy two Mrs. Liu, and was about to go back when she saw the young master riding a horse through the street, so she stopped to watch.
She proudly said to the two newly bought women behind her: "Did you see that the one riding on the white horse is my young master, the new champion scholar? He is outstanding in talent and learning, and his appearance is also first-rate. He was just captured by the emperor. I have been granted the title of a sixth-grade official, and I am still in the Hanlin Academy. From now on, I will work hard with my young master, and I will not treat you badly.”
The two ladies nodded hurriedly, their faces full of flattery, they echoed Mrs. Liu's words, and they praised her repeatedly.
Chen Mufeng only smiled faintly at the enthusiasm of the people and didn't express much.
As for the handkerchiefs and sachets thrown by those girls, he would naturally not pick them up.
Unless he goes back and wants to kneel on the washboard and sleep in the study for a month.
After the parade, that night was the Qionglin Banquet, which was a grand banquet held for new Jinshi scholars. The emperor personally gave the banquet to show his favor.
The venue is located in the Royal Garden.
As the top pick, Chen Mufeng was naturally placed in the most conspicuous position.
He wears a big red flower on his chest, has a handsome face, and is full of energy. He smiles and greets everyone, attracting everyone's attention.
Several unmarried princesses secretly hid in the imperial garden to watch and discuss in low voices.
The fifth princess, Xiao Nanqi, was also inside, but her expression was not good.
Just because the palace maid next to her inquired and came back to report that Chen Mufeng had already married a wife and had just given birth to a pair of twins. She is a princess, so she cannot be tricked by others.
But he fell in love with Chen Mufeng, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Look at the number one scholar, he is so handsome and has an outstanding temperament. This kind of style is really rare."
"Yes, and I heard that he is very talented. My father appreciated him very much and even appointed him an official on the spot. It's a pity that he already has a family and a pair of children, otherwise he would be an excellent husband."
After hearing this, the fifth princess Xiao Nanqi frowned slightly and hummed: "So what if you have a wife and children. A man with talent, learning and grace is rare. It would be a pity if you miss him just because of this."
When the other princesses heard this, they all looked surprised and looked at each other.
After hearing this, the eldest princess showed a look of disapproval and advised: "Fifth sister, please don't do anything wrong. The number one scholar has already married. As princesses, we are rich and noble, so we cannot do such indecent things." If my father knew about it, he would not spare you.”
The royal family cannot afford to lose face like this.
Xiao Nanqi frowned, but he didn't say anything, but he was definitely unwilling to do so.
It's rare to fall in love with a man who has already married a wife and has children, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Through the flowers and trees in the Royal Garden, she took a deep look at Chen Mufeng, who was chatting politely with everyone, stamped her feet angrily, and left angrily.
Chen Mufeng didn't know this. After the Qionglin Banquet, he got up and left the palace with all the Jinshi.
However, at the corner of the palace road, she met Xiao Nanqi, followed by two palace maids.
Chen Mufeng recognized at a glance that this was the luxurious woman he had seen in the palace road in the morning. He only guessed that she was a noble person in the palace, but he did not know her specific identity.
He was confused, politely bowed his hands, and was about to leave.
Xiao Nanqi stopped him, "No. 1 Scholar, please stay."
The other Jinshi glanced at the two people with different expressions, but they didn't stop 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 of them could tell that she was the woman of a nobleman 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, girl?"
Xiao Nanqi walked over and looked at his handsome face. His heart moved and he said softly: "The number one scholar is very talented. I admire him very much. I wonder if the number one scholar has a wife."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Mufeng frowned, a bad premonition surged in his heart, and his heart sank.
Although he didn't know who this woman was, he knew she was a certain princess since she called herself "I".
As for the concubines in the palace, they will definitely not ask whether they want to marry.
Unless you are older and have a princess's concubine.
But the woman in front of her was in her prime, obviously not.
His expression was as usual, but his tone was a bit cold, "Thank you for your love, girl. I have already married a wife and have a pair of children. Thanks to my wife, I have never given up and have been with you till now."
After saying that, he turned around and left, not wanting to tangle with this woman any longer.
Xiao Nanqi's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly stepped forward and blocked his way, "Wait a minute, Number One Scholar, I really appreciate your talent in my heart. Are you willing to be my consort? As long as you divorce your wife at home. Don’t worry, I will send someone to take care of your children, and I won’t treat them badly.”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Mufeng's face instantly darkened.
He looked at Xiao Nanqi coldly, with anger in his tone, "Princess, please respect yourself, I am a family member, my wife loves me deeply, how could I do such a thing as abandoning my wife? If the girl If you appreciate my talent, please respect my choice. Otherwise, even if you are a princess, don’t blame me for being rude.”
After that, he walked away without even looking back.
Xiao Nanqi turned pale with anger at his words, and the two palace maids behind her quickly stepped forward to support her, "Princess, please calm down, this top scholar is too rude and dares to contradict the princess like this."
Xiao Nanqi gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Mufeng's leaving figure bitterly, "What a Chen Mufeng, how dare you reject me like this. Is there anything I can't get from the man I like? Just wait, there will always be one One day, I will let you kneel down in front of me willingly and ask for my mercy.”
Chen Mufeng walked forward quickly and angrily.
Zhang Shuhan and Li Mingxuan hurriedly came up to him. They were shocked when they saw his gloomy expression.
Brother Chen has a very good temper and rarely looks so ugly.
"Brother Chen, what happened? Why do you look so ugly?"
Zhang Shuhan couldn't help but ask.
Chen Mufeng stopped and took a deep breath before suppressing the anger in his heart.
He glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "Nothing, let's go back."
After 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 followed quickly.
The three of them left the palace gate 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 door of the house.
The two newly bought women were already waiting at the door. When they saw him coming back, they hurriedly greeted him and saluted respectfully.
Chen Mufeng was slightly startled, and after asking some questions, he found out that they were newly bought by Mrs. Liu.
When Yaoer saw that she had not come back, she asked them to check at the door.
He nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and quickly walked in.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Yao'er lying on the bed, with two children lying side by side, sleeping soundly.
Seeing this scene, the anger in his heart subsided slightly, and was replaced by tenderness on his face.
He changed out of his eye-catching No. 1 Scholar uniform, washed up again, and was about to lie down on the bed when movement woke Yu Yao up.
Yu Yao rubbed her eyes and smiled faintly when she saw him, "Are you back? Is the Qionglin Banquet over?"
"Well, it's over."
Chen Mufeng nodded, looking at her gentle smile, the gloom in his heart was swept away.
He leaned over and kissed her face, and whispered: "Yao'er, I love you, and I only want you."
After Yu Yao heard this, her face turned red and she glared at him angrily, "Why are you so disgusting today? Are you saying such things?"
But I felt something was wrong in my heart. It was normal to say that I loved her, but it was obviously not normal to say that I only wanted her.
I'm afraid what happened today.
She simply sat up, looked up at him, frowned and asked, "Are you worried about anything? What happened at the Qionglin Banquet today?"
Chen Mufeng hesitated for a moment, but still told her everything about meeting Xiao Nanqi at the corner of the palace road and her unreasonable request, which he sternly refused.
He didn't want to hide it. If any misunderstanding occurred and affected their relationship, he wouldn't be happy to see it.
When Yu Yao heard this, her face became very ugly, "This princess has gone too far. She actually said such things and asked you to divorce me. Who does she think she is? Do you want to be shameless? Returning the princess has no sense of courtesy or honor. Don’t understand.”
She has never been a good person. The man who dares to steal her depends on whether he has the ability.
She said to the system in her heart: "Everything, give that Xiao Nanqi a stinky pill, plus another pill that will never cure him, nor will he die, but will linger on his bed forever."
A smelly, sick princess, no matter how noble she is, can only be disliked by others.
"Okay."
The system agreed readily, and the host's mission was completed. He could leave this plane just waiting for the child to grow up.
At this time, a woman comes to steal the male protagonist's task, so naturally she must be dealt with severely.
"Okay, the Stinky Pill and the Lingering Sickbed Pill have been given to Xiao Nanqi."
The system quickly said again.
After hearing this, Yu Yao's face felt better.
She looked up at Chen Mufeng and said seriously: "Mufeng, you are mine and only mine. If anyone dares to rob you, I will make him regret living in this world."
After speaking, her voice was full of coldness.
Chen Mufeng looked at her little face and felt warm in his heart. He hugged her into his arms and held her tightly, "Don't worry Yao'er, I only want you, and I only want you. No matter you are the princess or anyone else, don't try to break us up."
He looked serious and his eyes were full of affection.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing, and hugged each other tighter.
Imperial Palace, Yihe Hall.
The next day, Xiao Nanqi woke up and as soon as he sat up, he farted loudly and melodiously, which was loud and smelly.
She was stunned for a moment.
The maids who were just about to come over to serve were also stunned.
Don't wait for them to react.
"Puff puff puff"
Xiao Nanqi farts several times in a row, each one louder and smellier than the last one.
The entire dormitory was filled with a thick stench, which made people dizzy and almost breathless.
"Ahhhh"
Xiao Nanqi let out a series of screams. She couldn't believe that she farted such a smelly thing.
The faces of several palace maids changed greatly, and they hurriedly covered their mouths and noses for fear of fainting from the stench.
One of the little palace maids couldn't bear it any longer. Her face turned pale and she ran out. She held on to the door frame and kept 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 pass out.
Xiao Nanqi's face was extremely ugly, he was shocked, angry, and even more disbelieving.
She is a majestic princess, with golden branches and jade leaves. She has been favored since she was a child. When has she ever suffered such humiliation?
What's more, she was fine before going to bed last night, so why did she become like this when she woke up?
There must be a reason for this.
"vomit"
Before she could continue to think about it, she lay on the edge of the bed and vomited, almost vomiting out the bitter bile in her stomach.
Although she farts herself, it doesn't mean she can't smell it.
"Puff puff puff"
He farted several times in a row.
Xiao Nanqi vomited and wondered what was going on.
She thought of Chen Mufeng she met last night and what he said, and a bad premonition surged in her heart.
Could it be said that it was his fault?
But then, she felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous.
Chen Mufeng was just a scholar who had just passed the exam. Even if he was talented, how could he have such a method? Let yourself fart as soon as you wake up?
No one would believe this.
What's more, after he walked away last night, he went back to the palace 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 he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Ever since she was a child, had she ever been so embarrassed?
"Come here, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor."
She held back her shame and anger and shouted sternly.
"Puff puff puff"
As she yelled, she farted several times, which was extremely smelly.
The palace maid couldn't stay any longer. When she heard the princess's shout, she ran away in a hurry.
Everyone rushed to call the imperial doctor, just wanting to escape from this extremely smelly palace.
Xiao Nanqi didn't dare to stay here, so she ran to the next room to stay, but she put the fart by herself, no matter where she went, she put the fart wherever she went.
The stench followed her everywhere, and she cried anxiously, and even fainted from her own stench.
"Princess."
"Come quickly, the princess fainted."
There was a series of screams, and the entire Yihe Hall was in chaos.
When the imperial doctor arrived, the story that the fifth princess kept passing out smelly farts spread throughout the harem in an instant.
Even outside the palace knew about it.
When Chen Mufeng heard about this, he was shocked. The fifth princess forced him to divorce his wife last night. Why is it like this today?
What happened in the middle?
However, no matter what happens, this is a good thing for myself.
The princess is troubled by smelly farts, so she probably has no intention of looking for her.
He breathed a sigh of relief and put the matter behind him. He wrote a letter to his family and had someone rush to send it back.
Tell Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang that he won the first prize.
And soon, I will return to my hometown to visit relatives.
All Xinke Jinshi have two months of leave. This is the grace of Emperor Yong'an, just to allow them to worship their ancestors.
Passing the Jinshi examination can be regarded as a major event to honor the ancestors and give them time to return home.
Chen Mufeng thought that Yao'er had just given birth and the two children were not yet one month old. It seemed inappropriate to leave at this time.
I don't want to leave at all.
But returning to your hometown to worship your ancestors is a big deal, so you have to go back. We only have two months of vacation. If we don’t go back now, we won’t have time in the future.
For a moment, my heart became entangled.
