Among the emperor's grandchildren, there are now only two posthumous sons of Yonghuang, and the emperor's eldest grandson Miande inherited his father's title when he was three years old and was named Prince Ding.

But compared with the emperor's eldest grandson, the emperor prefers the emperor's second grandson Mian'en, and now the ten-year-old Mian'en also entered the Shangshufang to study, and the emperor often praised him for his prudence and diligence, which was quite important.

Since Yonghui went out, the emperor has not many children and grandchildren, Yongqi is now actually the emperor's eldest son, if Jinxiu can give birth to a boy, it will be a great joy for the emperor and Concubine Yu.

Therefore, Concubine Yu no longer deliberately makes things difficult for Jinxiu.

The emperor was still worried about Yingyun giving birth to a little princess for him, not only summoned the imperial doctor to consult her, but also superstitious astrology and divination, and quietly ordered Qin Tian to monitor numerology.

Bowls of fetal pills were sent in like water, but they were poured by Yingyun like flowing water, and the two of them went back and forth, never getting tired of it.

When Yingyun's body was a little more active, where would she stay in Jiangning Mansion honestly, while the emperor was busy with political affairs, she took Yu nobles, changed into two men's clothes, and went shopping on the street in a grand manner.

Yu nobles were born rough, wearing a royal blue satin robe, very burly.

The two of them walked to the most famous pedestrian street in Jiangning, where a dazzling array of vendors sold all kinds of snacks and handicrafts, which were not inferior to those in the capital.

Yu nobles have been staying in the north for a long time, and for the first time they saw the delicacy of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, like wild horses on the loose, wandering around the streets wantonly, and the shopping ability and Yingyun can have a fight.

Tasting the famous sugar painting on Jiangning Street, both of them were a little tired of it, Yu Guiren had sharp eyes, pointed to a teahouse in front of him, and said, "Eldest brother, let's go sit there." ”

Ying Yun raised her eyes and saw that this teahouse was next to the Tribute Courtyard, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, noisy and noisy, and it was very lively.

Yingyun likes to watch the excitement the most, so she hit it off and slipped into the teahouse. Love me

The little second child of the teahouse saw that they were well-dressed, either rich or expensive, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he led them to occupy a private seat and serve them with good tea and water.

Xiao Er wiped the table and asked with a smile: "The two sons are here in time for this year's Enke?" ”

Yu nobles don't understand the imperial examination, their faces are full of confusion, but Yingyun happened to hear the emperor mention that this trip to Jiangning, in addition to worshiping the Ming filial piety tomb, there is also a very important thing, that is, to open the Enke to take the office.

Therefore, Yingyun looked around the teahouse, and it was basically a group of students chanting poems against each other, talking about the past and the present.

"Yes," Ying Yun followed his words and said with a smile: "We are just a shallow learner, but we are here to have a good time." ”

Xiao Er sneered and said: "Those who can enter Enke are all those who have passed the township test, and you are modest, son." ”

Yingyun smiled and ordered him to serve tea and snacks quickly, so she didn't say anything more.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a rule that the banner people did not occupy the Dingjia, and the top three in the annual palace examination were from the Han people, so participating in the imperial examination was the only way for the Han people to get ahead.

Just like now, Yingyun looks at the past, most of them are Han people who are learning and exchanging, and they are eager to try this Enke.

The emperor's move was the most direct and effective way to win over the Han people.

Ying Yun was sipping tea, and was explaining the matter of the imperial examination to Yu Guiren, when suddenly a figure flashed in front of her, secretly approached them, and asked, "Are the two sons here to take the exam?" ”

"Hmm." Yingyun nodded.

The man smiled mysteriously and whispered, "I have the title of this year's paper here, do you want to buy a copy of the two sons?" ”
