"Yes." He felt it too.
Both of them are first-time parents, and they should savor both the joy and the hardships involved.
With his wife by his side, Chen Zhiyan felt exceptionally happy.
He knew about other people's husbands' pregnancies, and it was considered very good if the wives could visit them occasionally. They couldn't possibly stay by their pregnant husbands' side all the time; they would have already gone off to have sex with other servants.
Only his wife would always be with him. When he couldn't sleep at night, she would hold him and hum a lullaby to lull him to sleep. She would also notice when he had cramps in the middle of the night and massage his legs. Even when he was in a bad mood and lost his temper, she would indulge him.
He knew everything and remembered it all.
He also wanted to repay her kindness tenfold.
After the palace examination, Wang Fenglun also planned to settle scores with his older sister.
She caused her a lot of trouble during this time, harassing her to no end. Eventually, she simply moved out, and things calmed down a bit.
However, she had to go see the Fifth Prince first, since she didn't know what the Fifth Prince thought of her eldest sister. Otherwise, she would still owe him a favor, which would be difficult for her.
"Your Highness, Miss Wang Er requests an audience."
"Let her in."
"Greetings, Your Highness," Wang Fenglun said, bowing.
"No need for such formalities."
Wang Fenglun stood up. "I must thank Your Highness for reminding me last time."
Wei Wuyan remained noncommittal, simply stating that it was a matter of tit for tat.
However, I wonder what her ranking was; he didn't live to see the results announced in his previous life.
Therefore, it's time for Wang Fengyue's work to end here.
"No need for that. Just help me cause more trouble for Wang Fengyue, that's enough."
Wang Fenglun raised an eyebrow; this fifth prince was indeed extraordinary.
"What does Your Highness want me to do, or to what extent does Your Highness expect me to do it?"
Wang Fenglun was quite perceptive. "If I said I wanted her dead, would you believe me?"
Wei Wuyan suddenly leaned closer and said.
Wang Fenglun was startled and retreated repeatedly.
Wei Wuyan covered his mouth and laughed: "I was just kidding, look how scared you are."
Wang Fenglun's heart pounded wildly. The Fifth Prince's expression just now didn't seem like a joke; he really had murderous intent.
But she already knew what was going on.
Go ahead and do it; the Fifth Prince will never stop you, and might even applaud you.
Ha, it's rare to see someone act like her, the eldest sister.
Seeing that the man understood, Wei Wuyan waved him away.
He had no good feelings towards the Wang family, even though they had helped him.
The following day, the names were announced in the Golden Hall.
Wei Wangqing sat upright on it like a mascot.
But looking at these students, these were her first batch of students.
When Meng Jiujiu heard "Meng Jiujiu, the first place winner of the first class," she immediately looked up and met the emperor's gaze.
She succeeded.
But seeing the emperor's appreciative gaze, her intuition told her that it was this empress who had chosen her.
Wei Wangqing also said that the newly appointed top scholar she had personally selected was indeed different; he dared to look the emperor in the eye right away, and not everyone had that kind of courage.
Meng Jiujiu's thoughts raced, and without stopping, she knelt down on the left side of the imperial road.
She once possessed the talent to be the top scholar, but was only ranked third because of her beautiful appearance, which was her initial source of resentment.
The revelation of her cross-dressing as a man marked the beginning of her nightmare.
Finally, it was the emperor and her family who delivered the fatal blow to her.
Yes, she is not the original Meng Jiujiu at all.
Coming here is an opportunity given to her by God, a chance to fulfill her long-cherished wish.
She is determined to accomplish what she couldn't do in her previous life, and she will do even better this time.
Why can't women serve in the court and hold power over the country?
She wanted to be ennobled and appointed prime minister! To have her name recorded in history!
Everything that followed was perfectly logical; after the roll call, the procession began.
The newly appointed scholars rode horses through the streets.
The people cheered and welcomed them.
What is the purpose of taking the imperial examinations? Isn't it for this very moment?
Ten years of hard study go unnoticed, but one day of success brings fame to the world.
This is the moment when he is giving it his all.
And the one leading the pack was none other than the top scholar.
Many people don't recognize him, but that doesn't dampen their enthusiasm. He's the top scholar in the imperial examination! Even if no one knew him before, he's now a star.
Moreover, he looked quite handsome, so many men threw purses and flower branches at Meng Jiujiu.
Meng Jiujiu was both amused and exasperated. When she first arrived here, she hadn't thought about all this; she was simply delighted that women were respected here, and she could finally openly display her talents.
But I didn't expect the men here to be so... enthusiastic.
But she was also a empathetic person, and knowing how much suffering women had endured in the past, she was also willing to pity the men here.
However, she had no intention of accepting the offer.
She only wanted to achieve something in her career and had no intention of settling down, so naturally she wouldn't give these men any hope.
She hates people who string others along the string.
Wang Fenglun, standing behind her, also kept her distance from these men, especially after witnessing her elder sister's tragic fate. She dared not provoke them; they were too terrifying.
Yang Yuyun, the third-ranked scholar, seemed to be enjoying the attention, indicating that she really appreciated the adoration.
I heard that this person was a child prodigy from a young age, with a vast amount of knowledge, and was always pampered as a child.
They only ranked third this time, which probably shows they are quite dissatisfied with the top two scorers.
The common people cheered and lined the streets, while the men were more direct, wanting to see which of the three candidates was the most suitable to be the wife of the mistress.
All three of them are unmarried, which has made the men fight tooth and nail for them.
