Although Yuan Chaochang was very excited, he was also anxious to go back. However, Yuan Chaochang had not eaten or slept well in the Imperial Examination Hall these days, and he was exhausted.
At this time, Yuan Chaochang got on the comfortable carriage, which was shaking.
The carriage had not gone far when Yuan Chaochang fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage in a daze.
Yuan Chaokang was chatting with his eldest brother Yuan Chaochang. When he saw that his eldest brother had fallen asleep, Yuan Chaokang specifically told the coachman to drive slowly and steadily.
Yuan Chaokang also took off his cloak and put it on Yuan Chaochang. Yuan Chaokang himself leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
Yuan Chaokang kept wondering in his mind what positions in the court were reserved for the successful candidates in this subject, and which position would be best for his elder brother to choose this time.
Just as Yuan Chaochang believed in Yuan Chaokang's intelligence, Yuan Chaokang also highly believed in Yuan Chaochang's talent.
Because the carriage was moving slowly and there were many carriages and pedestrians on the road, it was already half an hour later when the carriage arrived at the palace.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Yuan Chaokang opened his eyes calmly. He picked up the cloak covering his elder brother and handed it to his follower.
Then he gently pushed Yuan Chaochang and said, "Brother, we've arrived at the palace."
In fact, Yuan Chaokang could have chosen not to wake up Yuan Chaochang. He could have just had someone help Yuan Chaochang sleep in the front yard and wait until his elder brother woke up.
But Yuan Chaokang felt that his elder brother probably wanted to see his elder sister-in-law and nephew first.
Yuan Chaokang has never been a self-righteous person, he will respect his elder brother's ideas.
Yuan Chaochang was indeed sleeping soundly, and Yuan Chaokang couldn't wake him up even after calling him several times.
Yuan Chaokang increased his strength and shook him hard, and Yuan Chaochang finally woke up slowly.
Yuan Chaochang rubbed his face roughly and asked Yuan Chaokang, "Have we arrived at the palace?"
"Well, we're here, let's go downstairs! Big brother, do you want to go back to the front yard to wash up first? Otherwise, with your appearance, you probably won't be able to see your nephew."
As Yuan Chaokang spoke, he looked Yuan Chaochang up and down, and his disdain was clearly expressed.
Yuan Chaochang raised his hand and smelled himself, and instantly he couldn't help but dry heave.
Yuan Chaokang jumped off the carriage in an instant, his movements were extremely swift and without hesitation. Brotherhood is brotherhood, and one thing is another.
Yuan Chaochang touched his nose angrily and said, "Let's go back to the front yard and wash up first!"
Although Yuan Chaokang was disgusted, he still followed his elder brother back to the front courtyard. After his elder brother finished washing up, he escorted him to the main courtyard. He also paid his respects to his mother and father before returning to the Prince's Mansion.
Yuan Chaochang was actually very sleepy, but just like Yuan Chaokang thought, he wanted to take a look at his wife and children before going to sleep.
He almost fell asleep while washing up, but he pulled his thighs hard several times to prevent himself from falling asleep.
When Yuan Chaochang went in, he did not ask anyone to inform him. When he entered, he saw his wife and son lying side by side on the bed, sleeping.
Both mother and child had rosy faces while sleeping, which Yuan Chaochang thought was very cute.
Yuan Chaochang had no intention of waking up Gong Lianyu and her son. He just sat by the bed for a while and reached out to poke his son's hand exploratoryly.
Yuan Chaochang instructed his servants to serve him well before reluctantly returning to the front yard to rest.
Yuan Chaochang slept until the next night. The imperial physician came to see him during the night, otherwise Zhou Qiongyue would not have been at ease letting Yuan Chaochang sleep all the time.
The results of the Tianyuan Dynasty's imperial examination would not be announced until twenty-five days later.
So before Yuan Chaochang's results were announced, a full moon banquet for Yuan Chaokang's eldest son was held first.
Although Yuan Chaokang had no real power and had not entered the court, he was one of Zhou Qiongyue's only two sons. In Yuan'an, everyone knew the status of Prince Fu'an in the eyes of the emperor and the empress dowager.
What's more, Yuan Chaokang was a prince, and this title alone was very important among the nobles of Yuan An.
After all, among the late emperor's illegitimate sons, the best he has achieved now is just a prince.
Therefore, the full moon banquet for Yuan Chaokang's eldest son was also held in a grand manner, and the three giants in the palace also gave gifts respectively.
On the day of the full moon banquet for Yuan Chaokang's eldest son, Prince Yi's Mansion was also crowded with people.
The full moon banquet was organized by Yuan Chaokang alone, but it was still announced to the outside world that it was organized by Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua.
After all, it is normal for a "dandy" to be incapable of hosting his own son's full moon banquet.
On the day of Yuan Chaokang's son's full-month banquet, Yuan Bohua named his eldest grandson Yuan Hantao. Yuan Chaokang directly opened a clan temple and wrote the name of his eldest son on the family tree.
Originally, Yuan Bohua wanted his son to choose his own name, but Yuan Chaokang wanted his mother to choose it. Zhou Qiongyue was a bit indecisive in this regard and tried several names but couldn't find a suitable one.
As a prince who doted on his princess, Yuan Bohua could only take on the job with a smile.
Yuan Bohua chose the name very casually. He sat in the study for the whole morning and thought of more than 30 names. Then he drew lots and chose the one he drew.
The main focus is on being clean and neat.
Yuan Chaokang had no objection to this. It didn't matter whether his father or his mother chose the name, as long as he was not allowed to choose it.
In his previous life, Yuan Chaokang had more than thirty children in his harem, and he felt that all the names with good meanings had been given to them.
Yuan Chaokang never wants to have a name again in this life.
On the day when Yuan Hantao was one month old, Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue gave the child a lot of things, from houses to shops to farms, and even banknotes.
However, they were all given to Ren Xiyu privately, and the ones given by Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua openly were just average.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua gave too much, causing Ren Xiyu to suffer a lot during childbirth. At that time, she thought that she would never have any more children after having a son, so she took good care of her body.
Even Yuan Chaokang sometimes teased his own princess for being "blinded by money".
Ren Xiyu rolled her eyes at Yuan Chaokang, thinking her husband was a fool. Having a child meant no worries about their future or wealth, but it was a bit risky. It was a gamble, and Ren Xiyu was willing to take it.
Especially when Ren Xiyu realized that her husband was not the kind of "playboy" that was rumored outside, she could not let others take advantage of his wealth.
In fact, Yuan Chaokang was not as lustful as people said, but he actively accepted concubines.
Yuan Chaokang did not want to rebel. The current royal family had a very stable status in the minds of the people.
But Yuan Chaokang wanted his family to become a prominent family after a few generations, so he needed children, especially smart children.
However, Yuan Chaokang still preferred legitimate children and would give priority to legitimate children in everything.
But he might not be able to treat all his children fairly like his father and mother did. Since the starting point was unfair, there would be no possibility of fairness later on.
But Yuan Chaokang will try his best to give them the opportunity to work hard, and whether they can seize it depends on themselves.
