After taking care of Yuan Hantao's full moon banquet, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua were looking forward to the results of Yuan Chaochang's imperial examination.
Yuan Chaochang himself was not as anxious as Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua. He felt that as long as he tried his best, it would be fine.
Even if he really couldn't pass the exam, he wouldn't insist on taking the imperial examination.
He and his younger brother Yuan Chaokang have been practicing martial arts since childhood. If he really can't do it, he can go and be a guard for his cousin!
As the prince of Prince Fu'an's Mansion, he has many choices!
So Yuan Chaochang was not only calm on the outside, but also calm in his heart. He accompanied his wife who was in confinement every day and played with his son.
I read some books in my free time, and my father and mother take care of all the affairs inside and outside the palace. Life is so comfortable.
However, the full moon banquet for Yuan Chaochang's eldest son, Yuan Hanyu, was not held this time. After all, it was too close to the posting of Yuan Chaochang's imperial examination results.
If Yuan Chaochang is on the list, the palace examination will be held immediately.
First, it must not affect Yuan Chaochang's studies, and second, when Yuan Chaochang passes the exam, there will definitely be a big celebration.
The time was too close and Zhou Qiongyue was too busy.
So the family decided not to hold a full-month celebration, but to hold a hundred-day banquet instead.
As for other aspects, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua treat them equally and will give them both mother and son nothing less.
Gong Lianyu had no objection at all. In her opinion, the prince's future was more important.
If she wasn't in confinement after giving birth, her mother-in-law wouldn't let her worry about these things. She would have loved to take care of Yuan Chaochang herself.
In Gong Lianyu's heart, children come after her husband, and she can only say that it's a good thing that she married into a good family.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the day for the imperial examination results to be announced soon arrived.
Before daybreak, Fang Fu went to the list to wait. As soon as the list came out, he read it from beginning to end.
The main purpose was to allow him to explain clearly which prominent people in Yuan'an had won the title when the prince and princess asked.
However, when Fang Fu saw that Zhou Yirong was in first place, he was quite happy. Then, looking down, in third place, he saw that it was their family's eldest son, and Fang Fu was even happier.
Fang Fu did not leave. He looked carefully several times and remembered all the familiar names before riding back to the palace.
As soon as Fang Fu entered the palace, he dismounted and headed straight for the main courtyard, "Prince, Princess, the prince of the palace has passed the imperial examination, the prince has passed the imperial examination..."
Before I saw anyone, Fang Fu's voice came in.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua stood up immediately when they heard the sound.
Yuan Chaokang and Yuan Chaochang also stood up and looked outside anxiously.
Fang Fu came in with a happy face and was about to salute quickly when Yuan Bohua quickly stopped him, "No thanks, just stand there and talk!"
"Replying to the prince and princess, the prince won third place, and the eldest grandson of Marquis Cheng'en won the first place. Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the prince..."
Fang Fu said a lot of nice things, and then took four purses, all of which were light and fluffy.
Fang Fu knew without a second thought that the contents must contain banknotes. He almost broke into laughter.
Although he was very happy to receive many rewards, what made Fang Fu even happier was that the prince passed the exam.
For children like them, the main family has a strong successor, and their children and grandchildren also have hope. They hope more than anyone else that the main family will be prosperous for generations to come.
Fang Fu’s eldest son is with the prince. The prince is capable and his son’s future is foreseeable. How can he not be happy!
Zhou Qiongyue was really happy, and quickly ordered people to scatter money at the door and send a gift to her elder brother and sister-in-law.
Yuan Chaokang smiled and congratulated Yuan Chaochang, his eyes full of joy and admiration, "Congratulations, big brother!"
Yuan Chaochang waved his hand modestly, "If my second brother is willing to take the exam, he won't be worse than me!"
Yuan Chaokang never denied his intelligence and sophistication, but he was also quite self-aware. He knew that not all smart people could study well, especially those who could rank in the top three in exams.
Yuan Chaokang smiled and lightly punched Yuan Chaochang on the shoulder, "Brother, don't be so modest. Excessive modesty is pride."
"Hehe!" Yuan Chaochang didn't say anything else, but instead smiled foolishly.
Yuan Chaochang is actually a very affectionate person. He only reveals his somewhat naive side in front of people he approves of.
In front of outsiders, he is the Prince of Fu'an with full defense points.
Gong Lianyu, who was still in confinement after giving birth, heard the servants report that her husband had ranked third in the exam, and her admiration for her husband reached a new level.
Yuan Chaochang got third place in the exam, which was such a good result. The whole family was happy and of course they had a good meal to celebrate.
Zhou Qiongyue ordered the big kitchen and the small kitchen to start working at the same time, and prepared a large table of delicious food, with everyone's favorite food on the table.
Even Gong Lianyu, who was still in confinement after giving birth, was full, not to mention Ren Xiyu, Yuan Chaochang and the other two.
The main reason is that Gu Yu, who is by Zhou Qiongyue’s side, cooks delicious dishes. Every time Gu Yu cooks, Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang always eat their fill. As for the two daughters-in-law, they love them even more.
Ever since Ren Xiyu got married and ate the meal made with the ancient jade by her mother-in-law for the first time, she has coveted the ancient jade by her mother-in-law. But even though she coveted it, she couldn't have it!
At this time, Ren Xiyu, who was full, was savoring the meal and thinking hard in her mind.
Ren Xiyu thought that her mother-in-law had no daughter, and if she gave birth to a granddaughter first, she didn't know whether her mother-in-law would give the ancient jade to her as a reward.
As for why Ren Xiyu felt that giving birth to a girl would give her a chance to become the chef, it was of course because her mother-in-law already had two grandsons!
Grandchildren are something that cannot be absent, but there are too many of them, so the rest are just like that.
Zhou Qiongyue would never have thought that the first person to think about her cook would be her daughter-in-law.
After the family had a big meal, everyone went back to doing what they were doing.
In fact, except for Yuan Chaochang who continued to read and prepare for the imperial examination, the rest of the family was quite idle.
As for Yuan Chaokang, many of his businesses are not in Yuan'an, so he doesn't have to go there in person. He is more of a remote control.
As for Yuan An's assets, apart from what his mother and father openly gave him, and what he gained from the division of the family property, he also invested in a brothel.
However, this brothel was not under his name. It was a partnership between him and King Zhaoxian's grandson.
That guy is a "dandy" just like him. That guy is the youngest son of the second wife, and his three older brothers from the original wife are afraid of him. For the sake of harmony in the mansion, he can only choose to be a "dandy".
Therefore, it is quite normal for two famous playboys in Yuan'an to partner up to run a brothel business.
If we were to say who was most surprised by the results of this imperial examination, it would certainly be the emperor.
The emperor did not expect that his mother's family was so powerful. Two of the top three candidates in the imperial examination were from his mother's family.
If the emperor didn't know clearly that he had never given them a back door, he would have thought that he had given the hint.
