Fragrance Returned

The emperor promoted Concubine Cai Shu to a noble concubine because it was impossible for King Kang to seize the throne again. Otherwise, she would never be given this position, allowing them to have thoughts they shouldn't have.

At noon, the emperor went to Jinling Palace where Concubine Li Xian lived to celebrate the full moon of his little girl.

Queen Ye sent another ten pieces of silk satin.

Xunxiang accompanied Queen Ye to finish lunch before leaving the palace.

When getting on the bus at the palace gate, I unexpectedly met Qiu Wangzhi.

Haven't seen him for a long time.

Qiu Wangzhi was wearing official uniform and his face was serious.

He also saw Xunxiang, bowed to Xunxiang and walked over.

He put his hand into a fist and put it to his mouth, and said in a very low voice, "I just received the news that Master Mingyuan and Master Hongyi will be able to return to Beijing in early June."

The emperor also eagerly awaited their return. The main reason is that several princes and grandsons have been poisoned by "Lianxin Powder", and it's time to see if Master Mingyuan can detoxify them.

Xunxiang was very happy.

He smiled brightly and said, "Really? I've been looking forward to seeing them. I haven't seen them for a long time, I miss them so much."

Xun Xiang's joy infected Qiu Wangzhi, and there was a smile on his serious face.

Xunxiang asked again, "How is Jingjing now? I haven't seen her for a few days, and I miss her too."

Qiu Wangzhi's smile grew stronger, and he returned to his normal voice and said, "Very good, but it's a bit boring to stay at home. If the princess is fine, make an appointment with a few handkerchiefs to see her."

I know I feel sorry for my little wife. Moreover, being able to face Xun Xiang so calmly, the obsession he had before should be gone.

Xun Xiang was also happy for them and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll make an appointment with my second sister-in-law, Hong Lan, and Zi Yan to see her another day."

Qiu Wangzhi crossed his fists and said, "Thank you very much."

Xunxiang was laughing while sitting in the car.

My uncle is twelve years old and has grown into a young man. As soon as he returned to the palace, the situation in the palace completely changed...

The test results will be released on April 18th.

At Mao hour, the rising sun rises in the east and the morning glow blooms. Because it rained yesterday, the road was still moist, round dewdrops hung on the flowers, plants and leaves, and the morning breeze blew towards us with a moist breath.

Xun Xiang sent Xun Yibo to Dongjiaomen, and he went to Zhonghe Hall to wait for the announcement.

Xun Xiang bent her knees and said with a smile, "I wish my brother a good start and immediate success."

Xun Yibo smiled and clasped his fists, "I'm borrowing my sister's good words."

At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Xun came with Grandma Xun and her eldest grandson Xun Zhengqian.

Brother Qian didn't even go to school today, and he was specially asked to receive on-site education. Second Grandma Xun was pregnant and did not come.

Not long after, Princess Ji brought her daughter Gao Wan, Princess Nanyang brought her daughter Wei Yusheng, Princess Qing brought Gao Mingzhu, Mrs. Qiu brought Qiu Yuhan, Mrs. Sun brought Sun Mingjiao, and Mrs. Mi brought her concubine. Mi Hongxia and Zhang came with Xue Tian and Mi Hongmian with Dong Youcheng.

Mi Honglan is shy and embarrassed to come.

They came here to hear the news so that they could congratulate Princess Dongyang and Xunxiang immediately.

Mrs. Qiu is almost seventy, and her body is in great shape, even tougher than when she was young. Xunxiang felt that this had a lot to do with the soft algae he "passed" to her.

It's a pity that he became an unsung hero, and the old lady didn't know about the good deeds he did. She only thought that Master Mingyuan helped diagnose and treat him because he was in good health.

Seeing her like this, Xunxiang was still happy. At that time, she passed it on to all her relatives who could pass it on, and their physical fitness must have been greatly improved.

At the beginning of noon, a burst of firecrackers suddenly came from the outer courtyard.

Yan Jialing has prepared firecrackers and will set off the firecrackers as soon as the news reaches home.

Qiu Yuhan smiled and said, "My cousin's ranking has been passed back."

Not long after, a young man ran in, knelt down and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Your Highness the Princess, Congratulations to the Princess, the Fourth Master won the third prize and is the youngest in our court. He is also the editor of the Hanlin Academy, just like the Prince Consort. It’s the Yamen.”

Xun Yibo made history. Not only was he the youngest Tanhua Lang in history, he was also the first Tanhua Lang born in a clan and the first Wen Tanhua Lang with a title.

There were immediate congratulations.

Princess Nanyang smiled and said, "The eldest imperial sister is blessed. Shang's consort is the number one scholar, and the son she raises is the third flower."

Mi Hongmian said, "The daughter I raised is still the most talented girl in Dali."

Dongyang was so praised that he kept laughing.

Everyone not only congratulated Dongyang and Xunxiang, but also congratulated Mrs. Mi.

Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Mrs. Mi is blessed. The husband-in-law for the eldest daughter is Marquis, and the husband-in-law for the younger daughter is Tanhua. They are both talented, beautiful and of excellent conduct."

Mrs. Mi smiled so hard that her face turned sour, and she praised her again, "Mrs. Sun is also very lucky. Her son has become a royal guard at a young age, and next year he will marry home the most talented woman in Dali."

After lunch, congratulatory gifts from the clan, relatives and friends came one after another.

Xunxiang and Dongyang negotiated a treat on the 20th to thank them.

The next day, the top three were paraded through the streets, and Xun Xiang made an appointment with sisters Mi Honglan, Zhang Ziyan, Xue Tian, ​​Ding Liren, Xun Yihui, and Xun Yiqiang to take Xun Zhengqian to the teahouse to watch the top picks, second picks, and third picks.

Ding Liren has already studied at the Imperial College and will study at home. Tao Weng agreed that as long as he was in good health, he would guide him in his studies for one day every ten days.

When Prince Consort Xun comes back, Xun Xiang will also ask him to provide regular guidance to Ding Liren.

A burst of silk and bamboo music came, and people immediately rushed to the windows. Pedestrians on the street also formed two lines.

There is a line of honor guards in front, holding banners and carrying a plaque that reads "Jinshi and the place". The first one is the number one scholar, the second is the second place, the third is the third flower, and there is a long line behind, it is he who has passed the Jinshi.

Jinwu guards and government officials on both sides maintained order.

The top pick and the second pick were both in their thirties and had beards. Only Tanhua Xun Yibo was young, handsome and graceful. Even though Xun Tanhua was ranked third, everyone mainly looked at him. The younger wives and older girls gave him the most flowers, purses, and hydrangeas.

The scene was very spectacular, even more lively than chasing stars in previous lives.

Xunxiang also prepared flowers and purses to throw to Xun Yibo.

The team gradually faded away, and the street returned to calm.

Several girls teased Mi Honglan, making her happy and shy at the same time.

They went home after eating at the restaurant diagonally across the street.

When Xunxiang returned home, Aunt Wei pointed at a basket of red eggs and said with a smile, "The palace sent someone to deliver it. My cousin gave birth to a daughter at noon today. The baby weighs five pounds and nine taels and is safe and sound. Princess, please go there on the 21st. It’s time to eat the third banquet.”

Ding Zhen gave birth to a baby.

Xunxiang smiled and peeled a red egg to eat, and asked others to share the eggs.

On the twentieth day, the Dongyang Princess Mansion was decorated with red and green decorations and was full of joy.

Xun Qianli and Xun Qianyue came to Princess Dongyang's Mansion early in the morning with their sons. Prince Consort Xun was away, so they and Xun Yibo entertained the male guests.

Mrs. Xun, Fourth Mrs. Xun, and Grandma Xun also came, and they helped to greet the female guests.

Today, almost all the clan members came to congratulate him.

Some important ministers, nobles, relatives and friends also came.

They not only looked at Dongyang's face, but also looked at the emperor's and queen's face.

Princess Zhaoyang came with Princess Kang. She always wanted to be alone with Xunxiang and seemed to have something to say. (End of chapter)
