The scientific examination is divided into three sessions, each of which lasts for three days, and the walls of the Gongyuan are covered with thorns, and the examiners in the field do not talk, but only inspect them over and over again. The room is extremely small, and Yun Ze can only curl up at night to rest a little, nine days have passed, as if he has lost a lot of weight, and the candidates who go out are all wrinkled in their clothes, and their eyebrows are full of exhaustion.

"Childe, childe," Yun Ze's little maid Yantai followed the eldest princess to pick up people early, took the bookcase in Yun Ze's hand, and pointed to the eldest princess's carriage: "Childe, the eldest princess is over there." ”

There was a sea of people and a lot of traffic, "The eldest princess, the son is here," Mama Liu got out of the carriage first and helped the eldest princess down.

Yun Ze saw it, and walked over with quicker steps: "There are so many people, why did my mother come over." ”

The eldest princess looked at her son and dusted off her clothes with a handkerchief: "I'm thin, but I'm in good spirits, get into the carriage quickly, your grandfather and father are waiting at home." ”

Yun Ze helped his mother into the carriage together, while Mama Liu and Xiaowu followed on the side of the carriage.

In the Songbai Courtyard, Yun Yuan sat on the top, took a sip of tea, looked at Yun Yi who was sitting on one side, and asked, "Your second brother wrote a letter two days ago, saying that he would return to Beijing next month." ”

"My younger brother and sister are not in good health, the second brother's family has moved to the south for 4 years, and now that I have returned to Beijing, I think it will be fine," Yun Yi thought about it, and said: "The eldest princess also told me yesterday that her nephew Yunqin will be married in two months, and she can let Fuguang invite more friends to introduce her to each other, and she will be able to live in Beijing in the future."

"The eldest princess has always had opinions, and they never have to worry about each other, even when your mother was still alive, there was no conflict." Yun Yuan has always been at ease with his two daughters-in-law.

The eldest princess and Yun Ze walked into the Songbai Courtyard, and happened to hear Yun Yuan's words, and couldn't help but think of the two years they got along with their mother-in-law, who was the most kind, but they were married to their father-in-law when they were young, but they couldn't accompany each other until they grew old, which is really embarrassing.

Walking into the house, "Father, Brother Yi." "Yun Ze has seen grandfather, father". The eldest princess and Yun Ze greeted each other.

"How is Ze'er doing in the exam, but I am panicking." Yun Yuan asked.

"When my grandson first saw the exam questions, he was a little panicked, but according to what his grandfather said, when he was studying ink, he came around and calmed down......" Yun Ze elaborated on the exam questions and answering ideas.

Yun Yi looked at his father and affirmed his son's thinking, and knew that he would definitely be on the list, and when he saw his father get up, he patted his son and said, "It's not in vain that I have studied hard for so many years, this scientific expedition can be among the best, go and rest!" ”

"Yes, my grandson went to see Fuguang and his second brother, they have always been in the fun, but I didn't see them today." Yun Ze got up and bent over and said.

"They made mistakes, and now they are locked up in the yard and copying house rules, if you don't get tired, go and see them," Yun Yuan said.

"Father, let's go see how they're doing." The eldest princess and Yun Yi got up.

The three of them walked out of the yard, the sky was getting late, the glow was all over the sky, the clear wind was blowing from afar, and the sycamore flowers fell in the yard, filled with a faint fragrance.

"Mother, what did the two of them do wrong?" Yun Ze asked.

"After sending you to the Gongyuan that day, Rui'er took Fuguang to the black market, and was caught by Shangguan Yan, he is the confidant of the imperial brother, the imperial brother has always trusted our family, so it is nothing, if it is seen by people who have malicious intentions towards our family, I am afraid that the imperial brother will be fair, and he will also be questioned." The eldest princess said.

Yun Yi comforted his wife and said, "This matter is over, they are still young, and the commander of Shangguan is not a man of many tongues."

Yun Ze looked guilty, walked up to his father and mother and said, "It's the son's fault that he failed to guide his younger siblings well." ”

Yun Yi looked at the eldest princess, put his hand on Yun Ze's shoulder and walked forward: "How can I blame you for this, you used to study and practice martial arts, how much time can you spend with your younger siblings, and after the palace exam, you will be with your younger siblings more, close to Zhu Zhechi." ”

………………

In Guanyu Xuan, the little girl Luoyu sat on the steps, looking at his son-in-law with a puzzled face, these days the son-in-law copied the house rules for half a day, and sat in the corridor the rest of the time, and didn't know what he was thinking.

On the second day after kneeling in the ancestral hall, Yun Rui was called to the study by his grandfather, and told him in detail about the situation in the DPRK and China and the situation at home, and he did not leave the Songbai Courtyard until the evening.

Now the emperor has five adult princes, namely Xiao Mingheng, the eldest prince of the queen, King Feng Heng, now 26 years old, deeply favored by the emperor, taught by the emperor himself, and the prince of Dingguo Mansion Lu Cheng is on good terms, Dingguo Mansion has been guarding the border for generations, holding military power.

The second prince Xiao Duanmu is 22 years old, King Feng Mu is from Shuguifei, because the emperor taboos relatives, except for the queen, the concubines are all from average backgrounds, and Shuguifei's mother's family is just Shaoqing of Wupin Guanglu Temple.

The third prince, Xiao Duanbai, is 18 years old, uncanonized, born from the Jade Concubine, and his mother's family is an ordinary imperial doctor.

The fourth prince Xiao Duan'an, the fifth prince Xiao Duankang is a twin son, 15 years old, also not canonized, the mother died during childbirth, and the emperor decreed that Concubine Li would raise the four princes, and Concubine Ying would raise the five princes.

Because the four princes did not have the support of their mother's family, they were not valued by the emperor, and they blindly pulled the party for personal gain when they became adults. The emperor beat them many times, but it fueled their arrogance, and the undercurrent surging in the court.

Now his grandfather is a Taifu, his father is a household secretary, and his mother is the emperor's sister.

The century-old family of Yunfu has a way to establish the world, but the princes have formed gangs and factions in order to compete for power and profit, which has the faint meaning of overshadowing the imperial power. The army in the hands of the Dingguo Mansion has frequently been found out by traitors, but it cannot be completely resolved, as if it has taken root.

Yun Rui was thinking about it, when he heard the little servant get up and salute: "The slave greets the eldest princess, uncle, and eldest son." ”
