It wasn't until the two of them finished washing up and changed into their middle clothes and went to bed that Ye Yichen seemed to come back from his excitement. "This king has grown so big, and it's the first time that he has been let by others like this!" There was some self-deprecation and some banter in his voice.

Yulan knew that she couldn't hide it from him, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. A uniform sound comes out of the mouth.

"Escaping won't solve the problem." Ye Yichen turned his back to her, so he turned over, and his hands habitually reached into her clothes. There was a slight hint of ridicule in the words.

First touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and then his hand went all the way to the forehead, lingering on the plump of her chest for a moment. Tonight, this enemy frequently discharged electricity to him, and Ye Yichen has also been a person for several months, so he really can't hold it at this time.

Yulan sensed his body's reaction almost instantly. "Lord Wang...... No......" She grabbed Ye Yichen's hand and said coquettishly.

Ye Yichen sighed secretly, "Go to sleep." His hand obediently withdrew from his clothes. He's not the kind of person who doesn't have self-control. He knew which was more important.

Yulan could clearly sense the changes in his body, and Ye Yichen turned over and turned his back to her again. Yulan knew that he actually endured it very hard.

In the darkness, a pair of small hands reached out and gently rubbed his chest. "Lord Wang......" The voice is coquettish, as if it can drip water.

Ye Yichen was really a little helpless.

was already tense, and she was going to tease him. Anyway, he knows that his little wife has some bad taste and likes to tease him. For example, when she plays chess, she will be happy if she abuses him to the point every time. Today is an exception.

It's just that he doesn't get angry at all every time. On the contrary, there is a faint warmth flowing in my heart.

Ye Yichen's whole body felt numb and crispy, and he wanted to stop her evil little paws, but for a while, he was a little greedy for that feeling.

"Lord Wang......" Yulan blew like an orchid in his ear, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

Although in fact Ye Yichen was very uncomfortable, this question was a bit difficult to answer. Ye Yichen coughed lightly and was about to say something. Yulan was already close to his ear and said, "Let me help you!" The voice was as low as a mosquito humming. If it weren't for the dark light, Yulan felt that she wouldn't be able to ask such a thing anyway.

Then her hand stretched out to the bottom, and Ye Yichen couldn't spit out the three words "no need".

Xiaoyue, who was on night duty outside, heard a faint and lingering voice coming from inside. Her face turned red, and then her expression changed: The princess's fetus is unstable, but she can't help it. I was so anxious that I stomped my feet, called a little maid to guard here, and hurriedly ran to the back room to knock on the door of Mother Qian's room.

Since Yulan was pregnant, Qian's mother hadn't really slept peacefully, as soon as Xiaoyue knocked on the door, she woke up, and when she saw that it was so late, and someone came knocking on her door, she chuckled in her heart.

got out of bed as quickly as he could, and saw Xiaoyue standing at the door with an anxious face. Mother Qian's heart sank, and she asked anxiously, "What happened?" ”

Xiaoyue's words came to her lips, but she was a little speechless: "That...... That ......"

Mother Qian said anxiously: "You are talking!" ”

"You'd better follow me to have a look!" Mother Qian hastily put on her clothes and followed Xiaoyue to the outer room of the main room, and the little maid just now saw the two people coming in and hurriedly saluted them.

Xiaoyue asked, "How's it going inside?" ”

The little maid is only ten years old this year, and she doesn't understand anything: "It's very good, nothing happens!" ”

Xiaoyue listened with her ears open for a while, and sure enough, there was no sound. Mother Qian was even more strange, "You called me over in a hurry, what happened?" ”

In the darkness of the night, Xiaoyue's face swelled like a red cloth. She waved her hand and sent the little maid down, and it took Ai Ai half a day to make these words clear.

Mother Qian finally understood, and she was also frightened. During pregnancy, it was not for nothing that she was greedy for joy and got rid of the child, and Qian's mother had heard of several of them. You can't let young people come around. But think about it, Yulan doesn't look like that kind of person who doesn't know anything.

She didn't care about anything, she craned her neck and listened for a long time, but there was no sound in it, thinking that she had already slept. Mother Qian was slightly relieved. She didn't go to sleep anymore, so she stayed here and stayed with Xiaoyue for the night.

Early the next morning, Ye Yichen woke up and found that his big hand was pressing on Yulan's lower abdomen, he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand. On weekdays, he is extremely careful when he sleeps, probably because he endured it for half a month last night, and once he was able to vent, he slept very comfortably this night, and he was also dead.

Ye Yichen hurriedly checked it. I saw that Yulan was still asleep. The wings of his nose moved with his breathing, his little face was flushed, and there was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth. Ye Yichen saw that there was no painful expression on her face, and his heart was relieved of most of it.

Looking at Yulan's expression again, it is really cute. Ye Yichen couldn't help but look at it again and again. Thinking of last night, this kind of experience was really the first time for him, although Yulan was a little jerky, but he was still very satisfied.

whispered to the maid to come in and serve him to dress and wash, he even walked quietly, for fear of affecting Yulan's rest. Before leaving, he went to see her again, and then reluctantly walked out of the main room. At this time, it was just now. When I went out, I saw Xiaoyue and Qian's mother standing solemnly waiting outside - Ye Yichen changed his clothes and called Qiu Hong and Qiu Aya, so the two of them didn't go in.

He gave them a rare smile. Although he often goes in and out of the main room, he has always turned a blind eye to his subordinates. Xiaoyue and Qian's mother glanced at each other, and they both showed surprise.

Ye Yichen strode out refreshed and went to punch first. Chengying and Hanguang followed Ye Yichen, and they had never seen him so happy. I secretly wondered in my heart.

After the boxing, I came back for breakfast, and in the kitchen, according to Yulan's instructions last night, I made toon noodles, Ye Yichen ate two bowls in a row, and he was very satisfied, and said after the last: "This toon noodles are good." "I asked someone to reward the cook, and asked them to leave some toons, and when Yulan and Ye Minwen woke up, they made them to eat.

Yulan didn't get up until Chenzheng, and he had a good night's sleep, and he was in good spirits after waking up. Mother Qian and Xiaoyue came in to serve Yulan to wash, and Yulan was a little strange when she saw Mother Qian with two panda eyes. "Mom didn't sleep well?"

Xiaoyue hurriedly said, "Mom didn't sleep all night. ”

"Is something wrong?" Yulan is quite strange.

"Because...... It's ...... "Ai Ai during the dawn period, and Yulan is even more strange when she sees her spitting. Mother Qian called her down, lowered her voice and said, "Although the prince is ...... But you can't let him come in case he hurts the child in your womb...... But how good! ”

Yulan finally understood after listening to it for a long time, first her face turned red, and then she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "Mom thinks left, we don't have that ......" But he couldn't say it for a while.

Mother Qian thought that she didn't know the severity of the way, so she couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Princess, you still listen to the advice of the old woman, it's not impossible to have sex during pregnancy, but it also depends on the specific situation, your fetal appearance is already unstable......

Yulan couldn't help but have a big headache, knowing that Qian's mother really cared about herself, if she didn't explain this matter clearly today, I am afraid it would be difficult to pass the test. I had to blush-face and squirm about last night's events.

Mother Qian was stunned for a while. This...... Can it also be?

Yulan lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her. After Qian's mother understood, she was happy. Stretched out his hand and slapped himself in the face: "The old woman is confused, it's the old woman who is confused!" The old woman said that you are not the kind of person who does not know the importance of the way! ”

While helping Yulan put on the gown lightly, he whispered in her ear: "Since the prince is willing...... It's better to ...... later. The prince is in the prime of life...... There is always a time when I can't help it...... It's better to ...... "The voice is getting lower and lower the more you talk."

Yulan's head was almost lowered to his chest. Although she felt very embarrassed, she felt that Qian's mother was ...... What a wise saying!

Ye Yichen's work efficiency is extremely high, and he arranged for Manager Ma to take the four accompanying children to the house on the same day. The eldest grandmother had already prepared, and cleaned up a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the main courtyard, and placed all four companions there. Yulan was not at ease in the end, so she asked Xiaoyu to explore it herself.

After a short time, Xiaoyu turned back: "The eldest grandmother has settled down, and the yard was renovated a month ago." The bedding is new, and the furnishings are all new things that have been opened in the storeroom. "The eldest grandmother is a capable one, Yulan breathed a sigh of relief. Those four children, Ye Yichen can see them as slaves, but Yulan can't do it. Just like other people's children come to her house as guests, she always has to take care of other people's children to feel at ease.

In the afternoon, all four children moved in, and the family was sensible, so each child only brought a personal maid to wait for their daily life, and the eldest grandmother arranged for them to stay in Duoyuan, and dispatched more than 20 maids and mothers-in-law to wait. The name "Multi Paradise" was given by Yulan.

After all, these four children are still young, and Yulan is a little uneasy about living in the outer courtyard, and when Brother Wen reaches the age of ten, he will definitely move to the outer courtyard, and then move the four children out of the outer courtyard as well.

Yulan finished lunch, took a nap, and then met the four children. However, after a month or two of hard work, I feel that I have grown up a little, but Ye Minwen may be because of the relationship between him every day, and it feels not so obvious.

The four children kowtowed to her together, Yulan gently encouraged her, rewarded some things that had been prepared a long time ago, and then told them to go down. Ye Minwen stood behind her in an orderly manner, with an excited face.

After the children had gone, Ye Minwen said, "Mother, I want to go to Duoyuan to see them, okay?" ”

Yulan nodded with a smile, and said with a pleasant face: "You are the master of the palace, do you want to do your best to be a good landlord and entertain the little guests?" ”

Ye Minwen nodded vigorously. His eldest maid was already well ill and returned to Ye Minwen on an errand. Yulan instructed the nurse and Tingxiang to follow him.

Four days later, Ye Yichen took advantage of the rest time to take Ye Minwen and the four accompanying children to Zhilan Courtyard to meet Mr. Meng, and officially performed the great ceremony of apprenticeship. Mr. Meng officially enlightened his five children.

That night, Ye Minwen came back from Zhilan Courtyard, Yulan called him to his side and asked him what his husband taught and how he was doing, Ye Minwen replied one by one, with a sense of excitement. It can be seen that he likes Mr. Meng very much.

Yulan asked Tingxiang who was accompanying him again, and heard that Xiang said that Mr. Meng had very good rules, and she and the four maids in Beppu could only wait outside during class, but the young masters liked Mr. Meng very much, and they were discussing Mr. Meng all the way back with the four companions, and they should like him very much.

Yulan thought about it, Ye Yichen's vision should not be wrong, so he was relieved.

The time of the test will not be announced to the world. It was postponed for two months, and it was finally going to end, the eldest wife and the second wife were all nervous, and they had to burn incense and worship the Buddha everywhere in their busy schedules, and it was set for March 25, when the Yang family went out to Wenchang Temple to burn incense.

Yulan couldn't go out by himself, so he sent Qian's mother as a representative, and also went to Wenchang Temple. Mother Qian grew up watching Chengzong,

On the ninth day of the fourth month, Chengzong and Chengye were sent to the Gongyuan located in the southwest corner of the capital before dawn, and Yulan also got up early to wait at home to listen to the news. After a while, Chengying personally came in to report to her, but it was Ye Yichen who knew that she was not at ease, and personally sent Chengying to inquire about the news.

There will be three exams, and it will take more than ten days before the results will be released. Although Yulan was a little worried, he knew that it was useless for Lu Dao to be anxious, so he waited patiently for the result under the persuasion of Qian's mother and others.

Ye Yichen came back that night and saw Yulan doing needlework under the lamp. He smiled and asked, "Why did you think of doing needlework?" ”

Yulan is good at everything, but the needlework is not satisfactory. After marrying into the palace for so long, she only made a few purse sachets and the like for Ye Yichen, and even Ye Yichen's underwear was made by Xiaoyue and them.

Fortunately, Ye Yichen doesn't value this.

Yulan smiled: "I'm going to make a small dress for the baby in my belly." He raised his half-embroidered small sleeves and waved towards Ye Yichen: "Look, Lord Wang, is it good-looking?" "There was a faint maternal glow on his face.

She embroidered for a month, and it was not easy for her to embroider so much.

Ye Yichen looked at it, the material was a good Shu brocade, and said with a smile: "The material is a good material, but the embroidery is not good!" ”

"Lord Wang, you laugh at me!" Yulan was coquettish for a while. Ye Yichen was amused by her. There was a hint of worry in his smile.

Yulan was taken aback, and called the maid to remove all the embroidered things. asked with concern: "Lord Wang, is something wrong?" ”

Ye Yichen didn't expect Yulan to be so sensitive, and said, "It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it!" ”

In the evening, as soon as the two of them rested, a little maid reported through the curtain, "Master Yang and Second Master Yang ask to see the prince." ”

Yulan hugged the quilt and asked in shock, "Lord Wang, what happened?" "This has already fallen asleep, at this time, the eldest master and the second master came to visit Ye Yichen, Ye Yichen said that there was nothing wrong, how could she believe it.

Ye Yichen hesitated, and Yulan said, "If you don't tell me, I'm more worried!" ”

Ye Yichen's big hand touched her head: "You calm down your emotions first." Listen to me slowly, don't be in a hurry, and don't get angry. ”

Yulan nodded obediently. Ye Yichen said: "According to the legend, it is said that the deputy chief examiner of the examination leaked the exam questions to Minzhi. "Minzhi" is the word for Seongjong.

"Fraud in the field of science" is an extremely serious case, and if it is involved, it will take off its skin if it does not die. Yulan's heart couldn't help but prune.

"What the hell is going on?"

"You lie down first, and I'll talk to you slowly." Ye Yichen helped her lie down on the bed. Said lightly: "I just finished the exam, and rumors began to spread in the capital......" He said the matter briefly.

It turned out that there were rumors on the streets and alleys that Yang Chengzong, the grandson of Yang Shoufu, had teamed up with Zhang Lin, a scholar of Jiangyin, to bribe and buy test questions. This Zhang Lin is the Xie Yuan of the Township Test of Tianfu, one of the two is the Xie Yuan of Beijing, and the other is the Xie Yuan of Nanjing, Zhang Lin has been in the custody of Beijing for several months, he has traveled widely, and he has made a bold move, and when he arrives in Beijing, he will go to see Chengzong.

Both of them are young talents, and they appreciate each other's talents and learning, and it doesn't take long for them to come and go. And the two examiners who presided over the examination this time, the deputy chief examiner is Jiang Zheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who is the premier literati of Dachu, but coincidentally he is not only the protégé of the old lady, but also the teacher who presided over the township examination when he inherited the township examination.

It is rumored that Chengzong bribed Jiang Zheng to buy the test questions, and then revealed the test questions to Zhang Lin. It has a nose and eyes, just like the real thing.

Because there is this relationship between Chengzong and Jiang Zheng, people can't help but believe in three points first.

Yulan nervously grabbed Ye Yichen's shirt: "Lord Wang, I don't believe that the third brother can do such a thing." He is still so young, even if he fails this subject, he will still have a chance after three years, so why take such a big risk and buy the examiner to steal the test questions? Lord Wang, you must help him. "If a person like the Yang family can't get out of the business, then the future will be worrying. What's more, it would be a pity if a talent like Chengzong was buried.

Ye Yichen nodded: "I can trust Minzhi's character!" I'll rest for now, and then I'll wait until I go to meet my father-in-law and second uncle. ”

Ye Yichen dressed up and went to the front yard. Yulan was alone in bed, but she couldn't sleep. If something happens to Chengzong, Chengzu will definitely not be able to run away as his elder brother, so it is easier to understand that the eldest master and the second master came together.

She thought nervously, it was absolutely impossible for Chengzong to bribe the test questions. Although this younger brother has not had much contact, she knows very well that he is a very calm and measured character, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, even if he really bought the attempt, with his prudence, it would be absolutely impossible for people to know the truth, let alone tell the test questions to another candidate Zhang Lin.

This is not at all in line with his character.

This kind of rumor can't come out for no reason, and listening to Ye Yichen's meaning, it only took a day to spread to everyone in the streets and alleys, obviously caused by someone spreading rumors behind his back. Maybe it's because the teenager became famous and high-spirited, and he was too jealous. So someone deliberately spread rumors to frame him? Or is it that there are political enemies who implicate Chengzong in order to frame Jiang Zheng or Zhang Lin?

More likely, is it to deal with the Yang family, the old lady Yang, and even implicate the prince?

It's all possible! Yulan had a splitting headache and was in turmoil.

So do the people who spread rumors have a backhand?

The fraud case in the field is really too much for a literati to implicate his reputation. As far as Yulan knows, during the reign of Taizong, there was a similar case. Hunan political envoy Li Yu presided over the township examination, political enemies wrote to attack him for bribing and selling test questions, and took Fang Yue, the son of Fang Qian, the young Zhan Shi of the same department, as the person, Taizong ordered Dali Temple to strictly investigate, check and check, it is also a "no evidence", Taizong will demote the person who is falsely accused and transfer to another post, and the unlucky Fang Yue will be disqualified from lifting people, and he is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination again.

It was obvious that the political struggle was implicated, but Fang Yue had no chance with officialdom for the rest of his life. Yulan is really afraid that the orthodox emperor will cite the example of the Taizong Dynasty and come to such a punishment, and then Chengzong's life will be completely finished.

Ye Yichen told Yulan to rest early, where could she sleep. After waiting for more than half an hour, Ye Yichen was late. Yulan asked anxiously, "Lord Wang, how is it?" ”

Ye Yichen was a little helpless, if he didn't tell her, he was afraid that she would be cranky, and tell her that she would worry about it again!

"There is no result for the time being, so we can only wait and see how things develop."

Yulan suddenly said solemnly to Ye Yichen: "Please Lord Wang, no matter what, for my sake, you must help the third brother!" ”

Ye Yichen sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her hair: "Don't worry, I won't stand idly by." Dare to frame my brother-in-law, hum! He was also a little angry in his heart.

Yulan said the worry just now: "I'm afraid that the emperor will invoke the old example of the Taizong Dynasty, even if it is clear that the third brother is framed, he will get rid of his reputation and will not let him participate in the scientific examination for the rest of his life." ”

Just now, he discussed with the eldest master and the second master for a long time, but no one thought of this. This trick is really called drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, as long as he makes a big fuss, no matter whether Chengzong does it or not, he will be a dead end.

When the time comes, even the emperor can't refute the old example of the Taizong Dynasty. At that time, we paid attention to respecting the heavens and the ancestors, and what the ancestors did was right, even if it was wrong, it was right.

Yulan is familiar with the scriptures and history, but he is more keen-eyed than these big men. He said: "This matter is not trivial, you are resting here now, I will send someone to inform my father-in-law and second uncle to prepare in advance." ”

Yulan agreed, and Ye Yichen picked up the curtain and went out.

The next day, early in the morning, the eldest wife and the second wife came to visit Yulan.

Yulan called Mother Qian to welcome her in, and as soon as the eldest lady sat down, she said angrily: "Who the hell did you use such despicable and shameless means to frame our brother Zong'er!" ”

The second wife's face is not good-looking. At that time, joint and several responsibility was popular, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, Chengzong became famous, Chengzu must have followed the light, Chengzong was unlucky, and Chengzu couldn't run.
