The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

In the Huai Prince's Mansion, the Huai Prince and the Princess sat in the front hall waiting for news about their two sons.

Xiao Nuoning obediently served tea to the two of them...

"Father, this is Longjing tea that my daughter has been brewing with dew water collected over the past few days. Please try it. Mother, please have some tea..."

"Um……"

Princess Huai responded indifferently. She didn't like this concubine's daughter, but because her biological mother Liu was dead, the prince favored this concubine's daughter. For the sake of her reputation as a princess, she never treated this concubine harshly.

Prince Huai picked up the teacup, brushed off the tea foam, took a sip, nodded, and said with a smile: "Nuo Ning, from now on, these trivial matters will be left to the servants to do, so there is no need to work so hard."

Xiao Nuoning replied obediently: "It's not hard for Nuoning to do this for my father and mother."

"Very good... our Nuoning is still sensible..." Prince Huai praised happily.

Princess Huai looked at the happy scene of the two people and felt it was very annoying. Just when she felt chest tightness, she suddenly heard her daughter Jiayi's voice coming from a distance.

"Father...Mother, Mother..."

Xiao Jiayi lifted her skirt and trotted straight to the front hall. As soon as she arrived in front of the two people, she sat down and gasped for breath.

The maid thoughtfully handed over the tea, and Xiao Jiayi took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Girls are always so noisy. Can't you learn from your sister to be more steady? Which man would want someone like you..."

Princess Huai retorted dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, Yi'er is naturally lively, innocent and romantic. She is your and my daughter, and she is of noble status. Which family in the capital would not be vying for my Yi'er? Besides, my Yi'er deserves a more distinguished husband."

"that is……"

Xiao Jiayi looked proud. She was a princess, born noble. How could Xiao Nuoning compare with her? ? Learn to serve people and please them? ? That was something only servants did.

"A loving mother often spoils her child. I am too lazy to tell you..." The prince of Huai didn't like the arrogant look of his princess. She was so vulgar.

"you……"

"Don't be upset, mother. Father is doing this for my sister's own good..." Xiao Tiance quickly acted as a peacemaker to appease Princess Huai.

"Did Ce'er make the list?"

Princess Huai finally remembered the important matter. Although her tone of voice was calm, her tightly clenched handkerchief had betrayed her.

"Mother, my second brother ranked 48th in the exam this time..." Xiao Jiayi had already said it.

Prince Huai nodded with satisfaction. Not bad...

Princess Huai nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "What about your elder brother?"

"One hundred and forty-two on the Big Brother list..."

"Has the second son of the Zhenbei Marquis family made the list?"

Xiao Tiance quickly informed the King of Huai of what he knew: "Father, Song Chengzhou is the runner-up in this joint examination, and the first place winner is a man named Liang Yize, who is not from the capital. It is said that he won the first place in the previous college examination and the provincial examination, and he also won the first place in this joint examination."

"The two people who are on good terms with Tianyi are from the family of the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works. Did they make the list?"

"The third son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue ranked 145th on the list, and the second son of the Minister of Works ranked 150th on the list..."

"Hehe... He is the prince of the Huai Palace, but his ranking in the imperial examination is not as good as other noble families' sons. It would be fine if he is not as good as his own brother, but he is almost the same as the son of the Minister of Revenue. This is really embarrassing for me, Xiao Qingyan."

The Prince of Huai became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He slammed his palm on the table, and the teacup instantly fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please calm down..."

"Father, please calm down..."

"Father, please calm down..."

"Father, please calm down..."

"Shut up, everyone. Humph... My son, Xiao Qingyan, is not as good as Song Boyan's son in fighting in the battlefield, and he is not as good as the sons of noble families in literature. How can I safely hand over such a big palace to such a mediocre person?" Xiao Qingyan roared, stood up and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Only a few people present were at a loss...

"Yier, why hasn't your brother come back yet at this time?" Although Princess Huai was also angry at Yier for not living up to her expectations, the most important thing now was to make the prince calm down.

"When we came back, he was still at the results announcement place..."

"Why don't you two come back with your eldest brother, so that your eldest brother can apologize to your father in time." Princess Huai looked at Xiao Tiance with a reproachful look on her face.

"Mother, you don't have to look at second brother. I was the one who pulled him back. At that time, eldest brother was in such a bad mood, I didn't want to come back with him. Besides, he didn't do well in the exam, why should second brother and I suffer with him? I'm not that stupid." Xiao Jiayi looked like we were not wrong.

"You damn girl, you..."

"Mother is biased. It's obvious that eldest brother's skills are not as good as others. Look, second brother did very well in the exam! It would be fine if you didn't praise second brother, but you blame us. You only have eldest brother in your eyes, not us, and you ignore mother. Humph! Second brother, let's go..." Xiao Jiayi pulled her second brother away.

"Hey! Yier, that's not what mother meant, Ce'er..." Princess Huai shouted at the two people who were going away.

Princess Huai stood there helplessly. She turned around and saw Xiao Noning standing there like a piece of wood. She was furious.

As soon as Princess Huai raised her hand, the nanny quickly stepped forward to support Princess Huai's hand and helped her leave...

Xiao Noning squatted down and prepared to pick up the broken pieces of the teacup, but her maids Baihe and Banxia hurriedly tried to stop her.

"Miss, don't move, let's do it, be careful not to hurt your hands..."

Lily picked up the fragments, and Banxia took the fragments from Xiao Noning's hand and carefully checked whether his hand was scratched.

"Alas! I'm afraid I won't be able to rest today..." Xiao Nuoning murmured...

"It's the prince who suffered, what does it have to do with the young lady?"

Banxia glared at Baihe and said, "Baihe, be careful with your words... don't let this cause trouble for the young lady."

Lily quickly covered her mouth and looked around nervously.

"Come with me to see father! I'm afraid he might get sick because of what happened to my elder brother..."

As soon as Xiao Tianyi returned to the palace, he was scolded by King Huai. He watched his father and his second brother drinking and chatting happily, and then the king turned around and criticized him.

Xiao Tianyi could only keep drinking to numb himself. His father had looked down on him since he was a child, and he kept reminding him how he was not as good as his second brother, not as good as Song Chengzhou...

Xiao Tianyi, who was stimulated by alcohol, smashed the wine glass to the ground in anger, stood up and shouted: "Am I so unbearable in the eyes of my father?"

"You bastard..." Xiao Qingyan stood up and slapped Xiao Tianyi.

Princess Huai screamed and quickly stood up and hugged her eldest son. Xiao Jiayi was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound.

"What is your Highness doing?" Princess Huai held her son in her arms and looked at Xiao Qingyan sadly.

"Father, calm down..." Xiao Noning hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

"Father, please say it nicely... Don't get angry..." Although Xiao Tiance tried to comfort him, he was already very happy in his heart.

"Look at this rebellious son. He is inferior to others, yet he dares to look down on me."

"Father, you have looked down on me since I was a child. No matter what I do, you think it is wrong."

After Xiao Tianyi finished speaking, he broke free from Princess Huai and ran out. Princess Huai chased after him with a distressed look on her face.

"Rebellious son, rebellious son..." Xiao Qingyan slapped the table several times.

Compared to the tense atmosphere in the Huaiwang Mansion, the sound of firecrackers and joy continued in the Marquis Mansion...

When the old lady heard that Zhou Ge'er had ranked second in high school, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a line.

Jiang was so happy that she cried. She wiped her tears with her handkerchief and sighed, "It's a pity that the Marquis is not here, so I can't know the good news first."

Song Chengzhou remembered that the Fourth Prince had said that his father and elder brother had led a large army back to the capital, and he also received a letter from his elder brother a few days ago saying this.

He comforted his mother, saying, "Father and elder brother have returned victoriously this time. They should arrive in the capital in a few days. Then our family will be reunited."

"Mother, father, my eldest brother won the battle, and my second brother passed the imperial examination. It's a double happiness. This is a good thing! The future of the Marquis's Mansion will be good."

"Sister Xue is right. We will have a good life in our mansion from now on..." The old lady nodded in agreement with what Song Qianxue said.

Song Qianyu looked disdainful, saying that Song Qianxue, this little bitch, only knew how to flatter.

Song Qianning smiled but didn't say anything. Everything is fine? ? Who knows? ?
