The day before the imperial examination, Yuan Zhao and several children gathered in the East Palace to pack Yuan Musheng's luggage.
These days, Yuan Musheng has been preparing for the exam in the East Palace, and he has not left the house.
Everyone in the capital city almost forgot about him.
He doesn't care.
Yuan Zhizhi hadn't been seen for a long time, so Yuan Musheng picked up his little sister and kissed her for a while.
Yuan Zhao was packing his clothes, mumbling, "It's very cold in early spring. The Imperial Examination Hall is not like the Eastern Palace. Mother prepared some extra warm clothes for you. You must remember to use them."
"Don't forget to study. If it's cold at night, go to bed early so you'll have enough energy for the exam the next day."
Yuan Musheng smiled and wrote them down one by one, "Mom, don't worry, I can take good care of myself."
Yuan Zhao felt relieved when he saw his eldest son, who was already half a head taller than him.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's okay if you don't pass the exam."
Yuan Zhizhi was in her eldest brother's arms, waving her hands.
[Big brother is throwing the stick! He's sure to beat Wei Tianci to a pulp!]
Yuan Nan'an was also cheering his elder brother on. Yuan Qiyu asked blankly, "What are you going to do, elder brother..."
"Brother, go take the exam!" Yuan Nan'an answered him.
"The exam is Senma?"
"Well... if you pass the exam, you can become a high-ranking official!" Yuan Nan'an explained to Yuan Qiyu in the simplest words.
Yuan Qiyu thought for a moment, then turned to Yuan Xuan and asked, "Brother Xuan...are you going to take the exam to become a high-ranking official?"
Yuan Xuan has been with Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Qiyu during this period. They are of similar age and can play together.
Yuan Nan'an went to the General's Mansion every day, not to mention Yuan Qiyu, who was almost hanging on Huo Yan.
Although Yuan Xuan was a little afraid of Huo Yan, he found that with Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Qiyu around, Uncle Huo was much more amiable than usual.
The three little ones travel back and forth between the Princess's Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the Eastern Palace every day, having a lot of fun.
It’s a pity that Yuan Zhizhi is still too young, otherwise she would join them.
Zhizhi could only play with Xiaobai, and was dragged into the palace to do hard labor from time to time.
When Yuan Xuan heard Yuan Qi Yu ask this, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"I...I shouldn't need to take an exam to become a high-ranking official." He touched his head.
"Then what are you doing?" Yuan Qi Yu asked.
[Brother Xuanxuan just needs to rely on his parents for support!] Yuan Zhizhi joins the conversation.
Yuan Zhao burst out laughing.
Yuan Xuan was the legitimate son of the crown prince, so naturally he did not need to take the imperial examinations. It was not wrong to say that he was a parasite.
Why not? Waiting for the throne...
Yuan Qiyu didn't understand what "parasite" meant. Yuan Xuan felt that this was not a good word, so he asked Yuan Qiyu and Yuan Nan'an:
"Brother Mu Sheng wants to be a high-ranking official, what do you want to do?"
"I want to be a female general!" Yuan Nan'an answered without hesitation.
Yuan Xuan tilted his head, "But my dynasty doesn't have any female generals yet..."
"If not, then I will be the first one!" Yuan Nan'an said without any hesitation.
Yuan Xuan was stunned for a moment, then asked Yuan Qiyu: "Xiaoyu, what about you?"
"I want to kill a pig." Yuan Qiyu did not hesitate.
"Killing pigs?" Yuan Xuan was very surprised. "Why kill pigs?"
Except for Yuan Xuan, everyone present knew why and their expressions changed.
Yuan Nan'an first tugged at Yuan Xuan's sleeve and said, "Killing a pig is killing a pig. Why are there so many reasons?"
Yuan Xuan didn't ask any more questions, but just fell into thought.
Nan Nan and Xiao Yu are younger than him and both know what they want to do in the future.
What about him? He seemed to have never thought about this question.
Not only was he thinking about this question, Yuan Zhao who was standing next to him was also infected by the conversation between the little kids.
What about her? How will she live the rest of her life?
At this moment, Yuan Musheng interrupted her thoughts and asked her, "Has mother prepared anything for the Hundred Days Banquet?"
Yuan Zhao came back to his senses and nodded.
The most important thing right now is to divorce Wei Shaoqing and then consider what happens next.
She shook Mu Sheng's hand and said, "Just take the exam with peace of mind. Don't worry about anything."
Yuan Musheng curled up the corners of his lips into a faint smile. He squatted down and waved to his brothers and sisters.
Several people gathered around him.
"Brother is going to take the exam. You must help mom and don't let her get bullied, okay?" He was still holding Zhizhi in his arms.
[Great!]
"Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely not let the bad guys get close to mother!"
"Yeah, protect mother!"
"My father, mother, and I will also be there, so don't worry, Brother Mu Sheng!"
…
The next day during the exam, Wei Tianci caused a sensation when he arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.
There were many people who came to see the candidates off for the exam that day, so naturally the Bai family all went.
Qin Yao happened to be riding in a carriage out of the city to the farm outside the city, and she also detoured to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall to see Wei Tianci in.
Seeing those girls couldn't hide their excitement when they saw Wei Tianci, she felt happy.
As long as Tianci passed the exam, she would be happy.
The people at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall gradually dispersed, and Qin Yao was also preparing to leave.
Just as she was about to lower the curtain, she vaguely saw a figure.
Why does that person look so much like the eldest son?
When he wanted to look again, a carriage blocked his view.
I must have seen it wrong. Yuan Musheng was still paralyzed, how could it be him?
…
Yuan Zhizhi's hundred-day banquet was lively and grand. Early that morning, everyone in the Wei Mansion was busy.
Yuan Zhao dressed up Yuan Zhizhi and several other children.
Especially Yuan Zhizhi, she has been fed so much these days that she is plump and has a round and cute face. She is wearing a red dress with a touch of red between her eyebrows, like a fairy child descended from heaven.
You can spot her in the crowd at a glance.
Yuan Nan'an has grown a lot taller recently and is almost as tall as Yuan Xuan, who is three years older than her.
In addition, with Huo Yan training her in martial arts, she already had a sharp gaze at a young age, and her small body was full of heroic spirit, which was something that other girls from aristocratic families in the capital did not have.
Yuan Qi Yu has been told many times today to just talk less.
He recently learned a good trick from Yuan Xuan, which is to put on a stern face and pretend to be cold when he doesn't want to talk.
Yuan Qiyu didn't understand what cruelty was at first.
Yuan Xuan told him: "Just imitate the way Uncle Huo treats others."
Yuan Qiyu understood.
So this is what daddy is like.
Daddy is worthy of being his daddy, he is cruel to so many people.
Then he has to learn from his father and be cruel to everyone except his mother and his brothers, sisters and younger sisters!
You know what, when he stood next to Yuan Nan'an with a stern face, his handsome little face looked quite charming.
Today is a big day, so Wei Shaoqing naturally got up early and went to the gate with Yuan Zhao to greet them.
Qin Xin was very conscious of not showing it in front of others.
Wei Shaoqing was stunned for a while when he saw the three children beside Yuan Zhao.
When did these children change so much and become so healthy?
In his impression, weren't these people all skinny and mentally unstable?
Why do they all look like little fairies now?
While he was stunned, Yuan Zhao had already walked out.
Finally, the Wei Mansion in Tingyu Lane welcomed its first wave of guests...
