With Zaizai's reminder, Chu Yuening finally remembered that today was the day when the county exam results would be announced. She nodded thoughtfully.
I don’t know how many talents were selected through the county examination, but the difficulty of the examination papers for the first imperial examination was relatively low.
However, there are too many people and too few porridge, so there must be a large number of people who are eliminated. The competition will be even more intense when it comes to the county and palace examinations.
Even though the competition in the imperial examination was brutal, it was the most convenient and fair way to select an official for students from poor families.
Class stratification cannot be changed overnight. Aristocratic families naturally have advantages that others cannot match: power, wealth, knowledge...
The only things that people from poor families can rely on are talent and hard work.
Ying Zhao stared at his mother's complicated expression, puzzled.
The little one's eyes are clear and transparent, and he has not seen the darkness and ugliness of the world. Under the warm wings of his parents, he is carefree and innocent.
"What is mother thinking about?"
"Are you thinking about your father?"
"Mother is partial... Isn't Zhao Zhao the most beloved child of mother?"
The series of questions made Chu Yuening confused. She met Zaizai's accusing eyes and looked at this cute little face that was 50% similar to A Zheng, and suddenly she couldn't help laughing.
Zaizai's jealous temper is exactly like his father.
Chu Yuening held up the little guy's chubby face and kissed him several times, until he covered his face with his hands shyly.
She chuckled and coaxed softly.
"Yes, yes, of course Zhao Zhao is mother's favorite cub~"
"Zhao Zhao loves mother the most too!"
Looking up at his mother with gentle eyes and eyebrows, Ying Zhao happily hugged his mother's neck, rubbing against her affectionately, and not forgetting to act coquettishly in a sweet baby voice.
Just as the mother and son were interacting intimately, Chu Yuening suddenly felt a slight movement in her abdomen, and she covered it with her hand in surprise.
A feather-soft sound came from the palm of my hand, like a butterfly slowly flapping its wings, and a wonderful itchy feeling surged into my heart.
Chu Yuening suddenly had an idea and whispered softly.
"These two little darlings are also my favorite cubs~"
"Mother, is my brother or sister moving? Can Zhao Zhao touch it?"
"Of course, it's a good opportunity for my younger siblings to say hello to their older brother, Zhao Zhao."
Ying Zhao lowered his little head and stared at his mother's bulging belly without blinking, his little face full of excitement. Chu Yuening took his little fleshy hand and placed it on her abdomen.
The two little babies were very considerate of their older brother. One turned over and the other stretched out his legs. The indescribable feeling made Ying Zhao open his mouth wide, and he asked in surprise.
"Mom, are my younger brother and sister transformed from fish? It feels like the fish are swimming in my hand, it's itchy~"
"Hahaha, maybe that's right. Maybe Zhao Zhao is a transformed pig."
"Humph, mother lied, Zhao Zhao is not a pig, his brothers and sisters are fish, so of course Zhao Zhao is also a fish~"
Chu Yuening poked Zhao Xiaoyu's bulging cheek with her fingertips. Her cold face was now calm and gentle, with a deep smile on the corner of her mouth, and her whole body was filled with the radiance of motherhood.
Ying Zheng had just returned from court, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the mother and son snuggling together.
He first glanced at the woman's face worriedly, and when he saw that her face was rosy and not tired, he felt relieved.
He then strode forward, picked up the naughty kid, slapped his chubby little butt a few times with his big hands, and taught him a lesson in a cold voice with a stern face.
"Zhao Zhao, are you bothering your mother again?"
"Um...Father, please don't spank Zhao Zhao. Zhao Zhao was wrong..."
"Alright, A Zheng, the cub is here to keep me company, put him down."
Looking at the little girl covering her butt with an expression of shame and anger, her fair little face was so red that it was about to smoke, and Chu Yuening smiled unkindly with her hands covering her lips.
But she couldn't bear the pitiful look of her baby anymore, so she grabbed the man's big hand, shook it, and pleaded softly.
When his young wife cast a gentle glance at him, Ying Zheng's solemn expression relaxed, and the tenderness in his phoenix eyes unconsciously leaked out. He patted the little boy's butt again before letting him go.
As soon as Ying Zhao landed on the ground, he ran away quickly with his short legs, holding his little butt tightly with his hands, for fear that his father would catch up with him.
The two of them looked at the fleeing little person and smiled at each other. Then Ying Zheng sat down beside the bed, put his arm around the woman's thin shoulders, and spoke with concern in a gentle voice.
"Yuening, did you sleep well last night? Did you feel uncomfortable?"
"Well, I'm fine, but my waist is a little sore. A Zheng, please rub it for me."
Chu Yuening wrapped her arms around the man's narrow waist and snuggled up to his warm and broad arms.
There was tender affection in her bright eyes, her dark eyebrows were filled with anger, her nose was slightly wrinkled, and her pink lips were slightly pouting, she looked extremely delicate.
Ying Zheng kissed his little wife's eyebrows, and his eyes were full of indulgence.
He put his hands on the slender waist, which felt smooth and delicate like the finest silk, and soft and lustrous like jeweled jade.
However, Ying Zheng did not have any romantic thoughts at this time.
As the baby in my belly grows bigger, the burden on my wife's body becomes heavier. Even with the Worry-Free Pills, back pain is still unavoidable.
As a husband, he naturally wanted to do his best to relieve her pain. Ying Zheng kneaded and pressed her muscles skillfully, with a serious expression and gentle movements. His techniques were extremely precise and clever.
"A Zheng, are the county exam results announced today?"
The faint soreness in her waist gradually eased, and Chu Yuening couldn't help but squint her eyes, looking enjoyable and lazy. Suddenly she remembered what Zhao Zhao said, and she asked casually.
"Well, Zhao Zhao told you?"
"Yes, he came to me as soon as he heard that Teacher Xiao was delaying the class."
"Humph, it's all A Zheng's fault. He won't let my baby sleep with me. I'm just a three-year-old baby who was just weaned."
