My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Qinglong Terrace.

This was the place where the emperor, his concubines, princes and princesses would watch the dragon boat race in previous years.

It is also the end point of the dragon boat race.

The contestants from the Imperial College all hugged each other and cheered.

The members of the Bingmasi and the Imperial Guards, however, were somewhat dejected.

Some were magnanimous and gave thumbs up to the people from the Imperial College.

Those young and energetic people who thought their team could win the championship this time glared at everyone in the Imperial College.

Some people were even more dissatisfied and beat the water surface to vent their dissatisfaction.

But the people from the Imperial College didn’t care about that, they won!

Looking at Fu Zhiyi who was still standing there, his expression was still very calm although his breathing was a little rapid and his chest was obviously rising and falling, the two rowers nearby were extremely excited. They wanted to hug Fu Zhiyi and pat him a few times to vent their excitement.

However, when they met Fu Zhiyi's calm gaze, the hands they stretched out froze in mid-air.

He smiled awkwardly, retracted his outstretched hand, and scratched the back of his head.

"Well, Brother Fu, if we win the championship today, you have to take the lead!"

"That's right! All thanks to you, Brother Fu! I'll be hosting you at Deyue Tower tomorrow, Brother Fu, please come and do me the honor of coming—"

The people around heard this and came over to make a noise: "That's right, Brother Fu must show us the way! Let's go together and not leave until we're drunk——"

……

As they were talking excitedly, they saw a eunuch coming to the shore respectfully being led over by the Supervisor of the Imperial College.

The other people in the Imperial College didn't take it seriously, but Fu Zhiyi's eyes narrowed. The eunuch was wearing a hat with a golden top, a dragon robe, and a quail patch. He was a first-class eunuch of the eighth rank.

Such a young eunuch of the eighth rank is only found by the side of the current emperor.

As expected, the Supervisor respectfully asked the person to step aside, then clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me!"

The people in the Imperial College fell silent and looked at the Chancellor.

The Supervisor smiled and said, "The eunuch beside His Majesty is here to announce His Majesty's order—"

After a small commotion, everyone quickly jumped from the dragon boat to the shore, stood with their hands behind their backs, waiting to hear His Majesty's instructions.

Although the eunuch was young, he was very calm and composed.

After everyone was seated, he faced the Qinglong Terrace where the emperor sat, bowed, and then spoke: "In compliance with His Majesty's order, the captains, drummers, and helmsmen of the top three dragon boat races are summoned to the audience!"

The emperor wants to summon them.

Everyone looked at each other. They hadn't changed their clothes yet and they were all wet. Some of them even had water dripping from the hems of their pants.

It would be very rude to meet the Emperor in this state.

The leader of the Imperial Guards spoke first: "Sir, could you please allow us to change our clothes before we go to see the Emperor?"

The young eunuch smiled slightly and said, "His Majesty has urgently summoned you, so please follow me to see him!"

There was no other way, so everyone followed the young eunuch.

While the eunuch wasn't paying attention, he wrung the water out of his trousers and hem as he walked, trying to make himself look neater.

Fu Zhiyi is the most well-organized among the crowd.

After all, he is the helmsman, and he needs to show more of his keen observation and strong control, so apart from some water splashed on his clothes, they are still relatively neat.

When we were celebrating just now, you patted me and I pulled you, and on a whim, some people even pulled others to jump into the river and splash water on each other.

He was at the stern of the ship and was less affected.

At this moment, among a group of disheveled people, she looked even taller and more graceful.

When they arrived before His Majesty the Emperor, besides the Emperor, there were also several trusted ministers and princes.

After going forward to meet the emperor, he stood in front of him.

The emperor looked at the people lined up in front of him with great interest, then turned to look at the two adults beside him: "This year, the Imperial College has surpassed your military and imperial guards."

The two gentlemen were Lord Qi, the commander-in-chief of the military, and the former commander of the Imperial Guards.

Both of them had smiles on their faces, but when the emperor wasn't paying attention, they glared at their subordinates fiercely.

What a useless thing, he is not even as good as those pale-faced scholars in the Imperial College, he is simply a waste!

They completely disgraced the Bingmasi and the Imperial Guards.

The emperor was at most a little surprised that the Imperial College won the championship. After all, the Imperial College nowadays is not just a place where weak scholars study hard.

Instead, we should learn the six etiquettes of a gentleman, and be both civil and military!

Therefore, I gave him a few more words of praise.

People in the Imperial College had only seen the Imperial College's chief academic officer on ordinary days, although everyone knew that they had to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the imperial family.

But my biggest dream is to pass the imperial examination and see the emperor from afar at the Qionglin Banquet. I am afraid that will be the most glorious moment of my life.

At this moment, they were so close to the emperor, and the emperor even praised them individually. They were so excited that they were speechless and didn't know what to do.

It was Fu Zhiyi who calmly took the lead in kneeling down and thanking the emperor for his praise.

Everyone suddenly woke up from their dream and followed behind, kneeling down to pay their respects and express their gratitude.

This makes Fu Zhiyi seem even more different from ordinary people.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Zhiyi twice, a little puzzled: "What's your name? Whose child is this? Why do you look so familiar to me?"

Seeing Fu Zhiyi from the side, the Sixth Prince, who had been making eye contact with him for half a day, couldn't wait to introduce him: "Father, he is the fourth child of the Ningping Marquis's Mansion, Fu Zhiyi, the one who passed the imperial examination last year? You heard it at the time and told the Ningping Marquis that their family is full of military generals, and it's rare for them to have a scholar. Have you forgotten?"

Once the emperor was reminded, he remembered.

There is such a thing.

He motioned Fu Zhiyi to stand up: "So it's the youngest grandson that Mr. Fu always talks about, saying he's the most like him! Stand up, let me see—"

Fu Zhiyi stood up, not daring to look directly at the emperor's face, but only looking at the emperor's chest.

The emperor circled around Fu Zhiyi twice and nodded with satisfaction: "He does look a bit like Fu Qing when he was young!"

After that, he asked Fu Zhiyi a few more questions before signaling him to step aside.

The Sixth Prince rubbed against Fu Zhiyi and couldn't help but punch him: "Good fellow, why did you go to the competition today? When I saw you on the stage, I thought I was seeing things!"

At the same time, he asked slyly, "Where's your sister-in-law? Does she know you're participating in the competition?"

Fu Zhiyi ignored the Sixth Prince's teasing and only explained why he wanted to participate in the competition.

The Sixth Prince finally understood and nodded, then pulled Fu Zhiyi to show off: "When I saw it was you on the stage, I immediately pestered father to summon you! I want you to be the center of attention this time! Compared to the winners of previous years, you will be in great glory this time-"

He had a look on his face that said, "Look how awesome I am! Why don't you come and thank me! Kowtow to me!"

Fu Zhiyi finally understood. The emperor had never summoned him in previous years. It turned out that the Sixth Prince had been behind this.
