Xiao Yunting thought of Cheng Qing's difficulty, and infinite interest surged in his heart.

After he and the five princes separated, the little thistle guarding outside the door came over with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes:

"Shizi, Master Meng and Cheng Huiyuan are in the restaurant across the street."

Xiao Ji didn't know if Xiao Yunting wanted to see Cheng Qing, so she asked Xiao Yunting if she should avoid it.

Since Cheng Rong's incident, Xiao Yunting has not allowed Xiao Ji to appear in front of Cheng Qing, Xiao Ji has obeyed her orders and has never met Cheng Qing once.

Xiao Yunting shook his head, "If you don't see them today, it's not time yet." ”

Not yet?

Xiao Ji's heart was full of doubts, and she didn't dare to ask.

More than half an hour after Xiao Yunting left, the four princes returned from Qiao's Mansion.

The fourth prince was not happy when he left, and he was not in high spirits when he came back, and when he saw the fifth prince, he was angry, and asked the fifth prince in a cold voice if he had thought about it.

The fifth prince only said that he didn't dare to offend the eldest princess, and the fourth prince snorted:

"The fifth brother is older, he has his own ideas, and he won't force you to be the elder brother!"

Until he returned to the palace, the four princes did not pay attention to the five princes.

If it had been before, the five princes would definitely bow their heads and show goodwill, but this time the five princes gritted their teeth and held on.

The two princes in the prince's office had an awkward quarrel, and Concubine Ning had a head disease that night, which Concubine Ning had when she was young, and the medicine stone was useless when she attacked, and it could only be relieved by gently rubbing the acupuncture points on her head with her hands.

Concubine Ning has a lot of people around her, but when it comes to massage kung fu, it has to be Zhao Jieyu, who has been a palace maid for Concubine Ning.

Zhao Jieyu gave birth to a pair of skillful hands, the needlework is done well, and the strength of the massage is not light or heavy.

As soon as Concubine Ning was sick, the palace maids around her went to invite Zhao Jieyu.

This night, Concubine Ning lay comfortably on the bed, but Zhao Jieyu knelt beside the bed, her wrist dangling in the air, and rubbed the acupuncture points for Concubine Ning all night.

Even if Concubine Ning fell asleep, Zhao Jieyu couldn't stop.

The palace maid said that as soon as Zhao Jieyu's movements stopped, Concubine Ning was about to wake up, and in order for her to sleep well, she had to work hard for Zhao Jieyu.

"It's not hard."

Zhao Jieyu didn't dare to take credit.

Although she didn't know why she had to be rectified by Concubine Ning, she had already gotten used to it over the years.

As long as Niangniang doesn't embarrass her son, Zhao Jieyu doesn't care about these at all.

The next day, the fifth prince heard that Concubine Ning had a head disease, and when he went to ask Concubine Ning for peace, he also saw his biological mother Zhao Jieyu, who had not rested all night.

Zhao Jieyu's wrist hidden under the sleeve robe trembled slightly.

The five princes saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts.

It happened that the fourth prince also came, so Concubine Ning sent Zhao Jieyu and the fifth prince and asked her son:

"How can Xiao Wu offend you again, do you want this palace to rectify Zhao Jieyu?"

The fourth prince pouted, "It's nothing, it's all a trivial matter." Mother, have you thought about what your son said yesterday? ”

Concubine Ning muttered: "Your aunt also mentioned when she entered the palace a few days ago, but the palace did not respond on the spot, and you said it yesterday, so it can be seen that you are also willing." Bengong also thought that he was really helpless to be a side concubine, and it was okay to hurt her more on weekdays, and it was not bad to find a noble girl to be your concubine. ”

Concubine Ning didn't care if she could marry the powerful, she was bent on pulling her mother's family.

However, the optimistic niece can only be a side concubine if she loses her reputation, and the position of the main concubine is vacant, and it is not impossible to take it out to marry.

But her sister-in-law entered the palace a few days ago and proposed to let Qiao Sanniang be the fourth princess, and in the future, one of the two sisters will help the four princes take care of the back house, and the other will care for the four princes, take care of each other, and let the four princes worry about the future - Concubine Ning is a little moved.

Several nieces and nieces Concubine Li Ning do prefer Qiao Yingzhen, but Qiao Yingzhen is really not as capable as her sister Qiao Sanniang.

Concubine Ning was still hesitating, and after the fourth prince returned to the palace, she mentioned this matter again, and she was also in favor of letting Qiao Sanniang be the concubine.

"Mother, my son has thought about it carefully, is it good for a noble lady to be a high-ranking girl, what should I do if I bully my cousin after entering the door? was already wronged by his cousin as a side concubine, and then his cousin was bullied by the concubine, and his son couldn't bear it...... What's more, the father is rich in the world, and he will only value his daughter-in-law because of his son, how can there be a reason why his daughter-in-law values his son because of him! ”

What is a noble lady?

No matter how high the lintel is, it can still be higher than the royal family!

The four princes were very dissatisfied with the behavior of the three royal brothers who wanted to marry Roujia when they jumped up and down.

The mother and daughter actually have similar ideas, but Concubine Ning has been a concubine for many years, and she knows that once two women want to snatch the favor of the same man, any sisterhood will become empty.

Concubine Ning was not in a hurry to remind her son, because no matter whether the fourth prince would favor Qiao Sanniang or Qiao Yingzhen more in the future, both of them were daughters of the Qiao family, and they all met Concubine Ning's expectations.

Concubine Ning had eight points of interest, but she didn't show it, and when the four princes begged and begged, Concubine Ning reluctantly relented:

"It's all up to you, your aunt worked hard to raise her two daughters, and they all cheapened you. Although you married Sanniang for Yingzhen, she is also the concubine you want to marry, you can love Yingzhen, you can't treat Sanniang lightly, you have to give her the respect and decency that the concubine deserves, their wives and concubines are harmonious, and your life will be better! ”

At this time, what Concubine Ning said, the four princes all nodded.

The examples for reference are also ready-made, the emperor just gave respect and decency to the queen, but gave favor to the concubines.

The fourth prince thought to himself, it would be good if he had a true cousin, and he would never learn from his father and find another concubine to hurt the heart of his true cousin.

The four princes achieved what they wanted, and they were happy in their hearts, but they only wanted to sneer when they thought of the five princes' sudden backbone.

whispered a few words to Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning didn't bother to ask the reason, so she called Zhao Jieyu to come over and serve at night.

When the fifth prince heard the news, he was anxious, and he couldn't wait to climb up to the queen mother immediately, so that he could rescue his biological mother Zhao Jieyu from Concubine Ning!

When the five princes had insomnia, many of the new Kegongshi did not sleep well.

At that time, more than 300 tributes from this section had gathered at the Chengtian Gate under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites.

The tributes are lined up according to the ranking of the test list, and Cheng Qing is the leader of the test, so he is naturally ranked first.

Cheng Qing, the person behind him, had never seen it, but when he looked at the list that day, Cheng Qing remembered that he would try to be second named Tan Jingya.

Tan Jingya is about thirty years old, he is a native of Suzhou, and he is not well-known in Suzhou, but this time he was favored by Mei Hanlin. Cheng Qing won the championship, and Tan Jingya could only settle for second place...... Tan Jingya must be very disappointed, but there is no way to be disappointed, thinking that it is basically impossible for him to surpass Cheng Qing in the palace examination, Tan Jingya basically accepted his fate.

Who let Cheng Qing have already made a 'five yuan and first', in the Jinluan Palace, the emperor will definitely ask Cheng Qing to be the champion - as long as Cheng Qing doesn't die by himself, the glory of 'six yuan and first' will be nine out of ten!

Team leader Zhang Shilang also thought so.

Dong Jinqiu, Cui Yan and Zhou Heng also thought the same.

Cheng Qing lined up at the front of the line, led by Zhang Shilang, and was inspected by Jin Wuwei before he could pass through the Chengtian Gate and stop until he reached the noon gate.

Outside the noon gate, Zhang Shilang asked the tributes to stand in two columns according to the odd and even number ranking of the test list, the odd number went to the left door on the east side, and the even number entered from the right door, and the left door and the right door were the outermost door openings on the left and right sides of the noon gate.

There are a total of five door openings in the noon gate, the tributes of the palace test are only worthy of the outermost two, the two door openings near the middle are the princes and ministers when they go to the court, as for the middle door hole is only for the emperor himself to enter and exit, or on the day of the emperor's wedding, the queen can enter the palace from the middle door hole.

After the palace test, the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua went out of the palace and could also walk through the middle door hole once.

This is the supreme glory, even if he is a supreme minister in the future, he is not qualified to go to the middle door, only today, more than 300 tributes seem to have a chance for everyone......
