Rise up, all your own family, you don't have to be like this. ”

Zhengde waved his hand, "Give a seat." ”

The family sat down before they sat down, and Jian Ning said, "Mother Zhang, Li Niang, quickly bring the eldest sister and the eldest man to me to see." ”

Zhengde was busy trying to stop it, but was glared at by Jian Ning, and only heard her say: "Your Majesty, I'm not a tofu person, I'll be fine sitting down." ”

This time, it was difficult to refute Jian Ning's face, so she could only watch her take the heavy brocade from Li Niang, pinch her little face, and the little guy grinned as if he knew who she was. was so shocked that Li Niang said again and again: "Does this child know that her aunt loves her?" Girl, you smile when you see it! ”

Jian Ning smiled and said, "That's not it?" For her sake, I don't worry less. Now that the splint was removed and my foot was corrected, I was finally relieved. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Zhengde, "Thank you, Your Majesty." If it weren't for your order, I'm afraid the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital wouldn't have moved. ”

"This is also my niece, what kind of stupid thing are you talking about?"

Zhengde looked at Chongjin a lot bigger, and also felt a little incredible, when he entered Beijing, he looked thin and small, and now more than half a year has passed, and he has grown so big, it feels amazing. Thinking about the fact that Jian Ning already has his own child in his belly, and he will grow up like this little in the future, he felt warm in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Chongjin, but as soon as he pinched the child, he cried "wow", and he didn't give any face at all.

Jian Ning said angrily: "You light, you have been practicing martial arts for many years, but don't hurt the child." ”

Zhengde's face turned red, and he said a little helplessly: "I, I didn't mean to ......"

Looking at the dignified Ninety-Five Venerable's helpless appearance, many people bowed their heads and smiled unkindly.

"Oh, good, Chongjin doesn't cry, your uncle is a no-nonsense, you can't worry about him."

The child sobbed and choked, didn't give Zhengde face at all, and spit out a few mouthfuls of foam when he was finished, as if protesting. Zhengde looked embarrassed, looked at his hand, and couldn't help muttering, "I didn't make any effort......"

Finally, he stabilized Chongjin and hugged Da Lang over to see. This kid is a lively and active person, Zhengde teased him, he just giggled, making Zhengde nod again and again, "You are a good one, unlike your sister, who is virtuous and stingy with her aunt." ”

"Who's stingy?"

Jian Ning couldn't help but pout, "You are the Son of Heaven, who dares to be stingy with you?" ”

"Look, this face, isn't it stingy?"

Zhengde pointed at her, and the people in the room laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After talking for a long time, the queen came. Not long after, Concubine Xian and Concubine De also arrived, and the Queen Mother also came after a while.

When the family is here, it's time for a feast. Hongzhi, the two generations of emperors in Chenghua have few heirs, and many princesses have not lived to adulthood, and the prince of the Ming Dynasty is going to the fief when he is an adult, so the real masters in this huge Forbidden City are all here.

This year, Jian Ning's family was gifted into the palace, and the addition of the second brother and his wife and a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses seemed to be much more lively, not as always a little lonely as before.

As the Queen Mother gets older, she likes to be lively more and more. After eating the reunion dinner, she couldn't wait to let Li Niang and Zhang's mother hold the two children to her, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became. Although Chongjin has a disability, Zhang's brain hole doesn't know what's going on, she feels that this is a strange person with a vision.

After all, the child's aunt is unusual. Although she doesn't have six toes or fingers, what she does is what the average daughter's family can do?

If she makes up for it in her brain, she will be out of bounds. Holding the two children, his eyes always aimed at Jian Ning's stomach. I also wondered in my heart, in the end, Xi'er can give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus? Or does the Jane family have this inheritance? Wouldn't it be auspicious if he could also give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus for the Son of Heaven?

This is the New Year, the Queen Mother is not thinking about the New Year, but thinking about the child. It's understandable to think about it, when my son is older and my husband is gone, I think I can take care of my children and grandchildren. Wouldn't it be better if there were two?

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is the New Year's Celebration, and there are some performances in the palace, and the fireworks festival after that is even more exciting. There is a margin this year, and everyone can finally have a slightly more prosperous year, and they don't have to be so bitter, so they are all very happy in their hearts.

When she arrived, the dozing Queen Mother was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and then took out the red envelopes that had been prepared earlier, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, give the New Year's money." ”

Everyone naturally knelt down to thank him, and Xi'er, the second brother, and the eldest brother and eldest sister also got a share, which made Xi'er very excited.

People talk less about the time, no matter what the future holds, the Queen Mother's New Year's money is enough to blow for a lifetime.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year in the palace is really up. The courtiers will celebrate the New Year of the Son of Heaven on this day, and grand events will be held in the palace.

Of course, for the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, the first day of the Lunar New Year is definitely a bitter day. Because from this day on, in addition to paying New Year's greetings to the Son of Heaven, they also have to pay New Year's greetings to other bosses and colleagues.

As soon as the activities in the palace are over, they are running around non-stop. In fact, the owners of each family are not at home, but you sign a pen on the book prepared by the master to indicate that you have been here.

And compared with greeting the boss and colleagues, what is more painful is to visit relatives and friends. If you meet on the road, you have to kowtow on the street, which is really hard to the extreme. This is the atmosphere in Beijing, everyone works hard, but no one is powerless to change it.

So compared with the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor is a little more relaxed. Of course, the New Year's sacrifice is not a trivial task, you have to wear a big dress, until the person's neck is bent before it is finished.

And after the New Year, there is also the Lantern Festival. Since the seventh year of Yongle, the Lantern Festival has had a rule: officials can take another ten days off. And the palace will prepare for the Ao Lantern Conference before the year.

The so-called Ao lantern is actually a giant lantern fireworks landscape. Because of its shape like an Ao, it is called "Aoshan Lantern Festival".

Since the Lantern Festival in the seventh year of Yongle, this grand lantern festival has been passed down.

"Listening to the subjects go to the noon gate to watch Ao Mountain for three days", the significance of the monarch and the ministers to enjoy together is very significant, which can be described as the Ming Dynasty version of the Spring Festival Gala.

This year, Jian Ning deeply felt the malice from the Daming Palace. It's too tiring, this is still taking care of her as a pregnant woman, if she doesn't take care of it, she can't imagine what it will be like to be tired. Looking at the queen's graceful appearance, you know how hard it is.

But this matter cannot be saved. There are several major festivals in the year, and the palace is very grand. The palace can be indulgent on these festivals all year round, especially the New Year. The people at the bottom are looking forward to a holiday all year round, and if they are saved, not only will the royal bearing not be there, but it will also be difficult to manage.

Therefore, the mother of a nation is not easy to be. Although Empress Dowager Zhang is still in charge of the affairs of the palace, after all, she is old, and most of these things still have to be handled by the queen, and her hard work can be imagined.

Finally, after the Lantern Festival, on the 17th, the lanterns in the palace began to be removed, the smell of the New Year slowly dissipated, and the queen had to start preparing for the spring festival with strong spirits. In addition, on the second day of the second month of February, the palaces had to withdraw from the makeup and eat "smoked insects"

The so-called "smoked worm" is actually a kind of dim sum, which is fried in oil with millet flour and jujube cake, or white flour, spread into pancakes, and eaten on the second day of the second month of February.

In fact, when she was in Jiangnan, Jian Ning felt that the ancients had a lot of festivals. There is a spring club in spring, and there is an autumn club in autumn, in short, there are many modern festivals, and every time it is very grand. And after entering the palace, she found that there were more such festivals, thinking that it was probably caused by the lack of entertainment of the ancients, right?

After the second day of February, and gradually by the end of March, her belly was already pregnant. Counting the days, she should have been pregnant in mid-October, and now it is almost March, and the child is more than four months old. The pulse is steady, and he is a strong child, so he can feel a little more at ease. And the nervous Zhengde is finally not so neurotic, every day to go to the court safely, and then go down to the court to accompany the queen mother for a while, is to stay with her, the relationship between the husband and wife is getting better and better, in the words of the palace people, that is about to become a person.

After three months, Jian Ning finally finished the chapter of the Great Qin. At this time, the six-year examination of Zhengde has ended, and Hu Yanshu has been successfully promoted to the tribute student with a score of 26.

In fact, after the examination, it is already a sure jinshi, and the palace examination is just a noun for evaluation. The champions, Bangyan, Tanhua, Erjia, and Sanjia Jinshi who are familiar to future generations are determined by the palace examination.

Among them, the top three, champion, list, and Tanhua are the most honored. If there is no accident, then he will enter the cabinet in the future, and after the palace examination, he will generally be ordered to become a nobleman among the nobles and a fighter among the officials.

Of course, if it is the fourth place, it can only be regarded as a second-class jinshi. However, the first place in the second class also has a name, called Chuanlu, which is also very noble, and basically wants to enter Hanlin. The worst is the top three, basically don't want to enter the cabinet for the rest of your life, and it is a good way out to be assigned to the county government to be a county master. The promotion in the back is also relatively slow, and it is unforgettable to enter the cabinet for a lifetime, and there is still some possibility of struggling to be a feudal official.

Therefore, Hu Yanshu will try twenty-seven places, in fact, if the palace test is normal, the basic second-class jinshi is stable. If it is a little better, and the noun is a little higher, it is not impossible to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Jian Ning asked Cui Yupu to give some money to the little eunuch who worked in the palace, and asked him to go to Jian's house to report a message and send a congratulatory gift for himself. According to the rules of the Daming Palace, the palace concubine is not allowed to send letters to the outside world, so she can only let people secretly bring a message to express her heart.

The April palace test began, and it didn't take long for Cui Yupu to report, "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang!" Your brother-in-law has been appointed by His Majesty as Hanlin! ”

Jian Ning was overjoyed, "Really?!" ”

"Yes, Hu Gongzi, oh, no, it's time to call Hu Hanlin now! The article I wrote was praised by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty! Several cabinet scholars are full of appreciation, praise Niangniang's righteous brother's article is brilliant, containing splendor, is a rare talent! Got a fourth place, this is a legend! Empress! His Majesty was pleased, so he appointed him Hanlin and awarded him the post of editor! ”

Janine laughed, "That's great! Speaking of which, the first part of my book has also been written, and I will show it to His Majesty another day, and I will entrust my brother-in-law to sell it on my behalf in the future! ”

Cui Yupu hesitated and said: "Niangniang, the rules in the palace are not allowed to pass on letters, Niangniang is now Jieyu, if she gives birth to a prince, she will definitely be able to promote the concubine, the slave maid said something that should not be said, Niangniang will be the prince's biological mother in the future, and it is also possible for the imperial concubine, why bother to write so hard?" It's not good if you break a taboo and be captured by the ministers! ”

Jian Ning's eyes were cold, and he said, "What?" What rumors have you heard? ”

Cui Yupu shrank happily, knelt down and said, "The slave should be damned!" Slaves shouldn't be talkative! It's just that there are some grievances for the mother! Today, someone said in the court that Hu Gongzi is your brother-in-law, and this fourth place is up for discussion......"

Jian Ning sneered, "Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and what kind of people, can they still be bought by this palace?" I've never said anything for my brother-in-law, where did that come from? It's clear that you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour! Don't bother! I'll show it to Your Majesty! ”
