If it was really what she thought, should she lend a hand to save Yu Chaoyang?
Oh, it’s a bit confusing.
Yu Chaoyang can't be that bad, right? I should have expected that.
Never mind, let’s live our own lives. If Yu Chaoyang can’t defeat Nanhua, that’s her fate.
The wedding date is set three months later, which is the first year that the daughter-in-law will marry into the family.
In the past half month, another more important event for the literati in the capital has been in full swing, that is, the once-in-three-years Autumn Examination.
Yu Yuanzheng took some time to go back to her mother's home again to cheer her father up.
But her father didn't seem nervous at all, and looked confident.
"Okay, don't worry. Dad knows what's going on. Mr. Jin also said that Dad has made great progress and it won't be a problem for him to pass the imperial examination. Just take good care of your baby and don't worry about your parents' home." Yu Yunzhi also admonished his daughter in return.
"Then I, your daughter, would like to wish you in advance that your writing will be as if divinely inspired."
On the first day of September, the wife of Duke Weiguo celebrated her birthday.
The princess is going to take her family back to her parents' home.
This family of course refers to the prince and Shangguan Ziqi and his wife. No one else is included. Since it is not a birthday party, the Qin family did not hold a big celebration and only invited a few relatives to join in the fun.
Early in the morning, the princess sent Nanny Zhao to urge the couple to get up early.
Yu Yuanzheng could understand the princess's desire to return to her parents' home.
Ever since her son fell into a coma, she has not returned to her parents' home. She would not go out unless it was absolutely necessary.
I started going out more after I got married.
Someone took care of her son for her.
When a family of four went out, only the prince rode a horse, while the other three took a carriage. It felt like the old man had become a flower protector.
Of course, the prince is not too old, he is only forty-one years old.
When we arrived at the Duke of Wei's mansion, his two sons were already waiting at the door to greet us.
"Brother-in-law." Qin Song, the eldest son of Duke Wei, stepped forward and bowed.
"Brother-in-law." Qin Bai, the son of Duke Wei, also stepped forward and bowed.
The two men were not good at studying, but both became small leaders in the imperial guards through the relationship between the Duke of Wei and the prince.
Qin Song was thirty-four years old and a colonel, while Qin Bai was only thirty years old and worked in logistics management for the Imperial Guards.
At this time, the princess also came out of the carriage with Yu Yuanzheng.
"Sister, I see that you look much better today." Qin Song smiled even more gently when he saw the princess's face, which was just smiling faintly.
Although they were from a duke's mansion, their father was not an official in the imperial court, and there was only one good-looking title in the family.
This title was also earned by our ancestors for their great contributions in resisting the Canglan Kingdom many years ago.
However, during the He period, there were not many opportunities for military service, and they had no chance to establish themselves in the world, so they could only get a small position with the help of their brother-in-law.
However, with the title of Duke of Weiguo, the Qin family's status in the capital is second only to that of a prince.
"Big brother, little brother." The princess was very happy to see her relatives.
When the two younger brothers saw that she was no longer as sad as before, they knew that their eldest sister had helped her nephew to sober up and get out of his depression.
"Uncle, uncle." At this time Shangguan Ziqi also got off a carriage at the back with the help of Qingfeng and Mingyue.
"Uncle, uncle." Yu Yuanzheng followed.
"Okay, okay, okay."
A group of people entered the main courtyard.
The two old people had already taken their seats waiting for them.
"My daughter (son-in-law) pays homage to my father and mother." The prince and princess bowed together.
Then there are the Shangguan Ziqi and his wife.
"Ziqi is really awake. Now your mother is finally relieved. Ziqi, come here, grandma hasn't seen you formally yet."
Lady Chen Yuyuanzheng, wife of Duke Weiguo, waved her hand.
Yu Yuanzheng looked at his father playing chess, and when he nodded, he walked over.
Chen took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on Yu Yuanzheng's hand.
You can tell it’s top quality stuff at first glance.
"Thank you, grandma." Yu Yuanzheng squatted and bowed to express his gratitude.
Chen was not the princess' biological mother, but her stepmother.
But this stepmother, the wife of the Duke of Wei, was well chosen. She only gave birth to sons and no daughters. She treated the princess very well and basically treated her as her own daughter.
When the princess was in her natal family, she never suffered from her stepmother's anger. Instead, she received the same love as her mother, and was also loved by the old wife of the Duke of Wei.
The princess is relatively lucky.
The old Mrs. Weiguo had passed away long ago.
Then the relatives and friends who had arrived from each family greeted each other and got to know each other.
It was Yu Yuanzheng’s first time here and she didn’t know anyone, so the princess introduced everyone to her one by one.
Two aunts and their cousins.
Many people also came from the Duke's wife's family.
People from the families of the Duke’s two younger brothers and the married aunts.
There are quite a few people.
"Brother and sister-in-law, come on, I'll take you for a walk in the garden." Qin Jiaoyan, the eldest cousin from my uncle's family, invited me.
She was the oldest of the children, already fourteen years old, while the others were too young.
"Just take your cousin's wife out to play, and your cousin can go to the study with grandfather to have a chat." Duke Weiguo Qin Jing ordered with a smile.
Yu Yuanzheng was surrounded by a group of children and went to the garden to play.
She felt like she had become the leader of the children.
"Cousin, I heard that you play the zither very well. I have prepared a zither in my garden. Come on, I want to listen and learn.
But I didn't go back for the palace banquet, and I heard about it from other people later." Qin Jiaoyan was very familiar.
It can be seen that she is a cheerful and lively girl.
"Cousin, you guys go and play. I'm not feeling well, so I won't go to the garden to get some fresh air." said Qin Jiaoyan, a girl who looked a little older.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Qin Jiaoyan was a little confused.
"Maybe." said the girl.
"Yes."
Yu Yuanzheng went to the garden with Qin Jiaoyan and several other girls of similar age.
"Cousin, who was that girl just now?" Yu Yuanzheng saw from the girl's face that she didn't look uncomfortable, but her face was rosy.
"She is my aunt's daughter, my cousin, Liu Yueru. My aunt asked my mother to find her a husband, so she is staying in our house temporarily."
"Have you decided to kiss?"
"Not yet. This family doesn't like her, and that family doesn't like her. I don't know what kind of family she wants to marry into."
"What does her family do?"
"Oh, my uncle was a judge in a state."
Yu Yuanzheng understood what he meant, which meant she didn't want to marry outside the capital, and wanted to marry into a good family in the capital.
In other words, you want to climb up the ladder.
Yu Yuanzheng and a group of children were playing in the garden.
The princess chatted with the wife of Duke Weiguo and a group of relatives.
The Duke of Wei took his son-in-law and grandson to his study to chat.
"Your Highness, is Ziqi's leg really beyond saving?" Duke Weiguo was very concerned about his grandson.
It is not a good thing for the position of crown prince to fall into the hands of a bastard.
After the prince's death, the crown prince inherited the throne, but he was not his grandson, so his relationship with the palace was not so close.
Shangguan Ziqi and the prince looked at each other, and the prince shook his head lightly.
"Grandfather, it's good enough that my grandson can wake up. I don't ask for too much. I just want to live a good life with my wife and raise a few children."
Shangguan Ziqi's nonchalant attitude made Duke Weiguo sigh deeply.
"You got a good wife. She got pregnant with twins at once. It's really rare that she can give birth well." Duke Wei smiled again when he thought of this.
"Yes, Madam is the best woman." Shangguan Ziqi's smile became even gentler when he mentioned Yu Yuanzheng.
"Okay, Your Majesty, let's play a game of chess. We can drink tea and chat while we play."
Shangguan Ziqi accompanied them and poured tea for them. After a while, he could not sit still anymore. He knew everything the two elders were talking about. Then he said he wanted to go to the garden to look for his cousins.
The breeze pushed him slowly towards the back garden.
It was almost time for the flower to bloom.
The two girls were running and playing, without looking at the road. The girl in front even ran backwards a few steps while running, teasing the girl behind her.
When he arrived in front of Shangguan Ziqi, he showed no intention of stopping and was about to fall into the arms of Shangguan Ziqi who was in a wheelchair.
