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

The princes nearby were originally very interested in Fu Zhiyi. When they heard that he was the youngest grandson of the old Marquis of Ningping, they counted on their fingers.

This Fu Zhiyi was the only son of the third master of Ningping Marquis's Mansion, and he married the concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official. He immediately lost interest in him.

The Ningping Marquis' Mansion is still headed by the old marquis, but the prince is from the eldest wife.

Once the old marquis leaves, these three branches will probably become side branches.

My wife's family is so useless. What good will it do even if I can pass the imperial examination in the future?

If he were the eldest son of the Ningping Marquis's first wife, perhaps they would be willing to humble themselves and make friends with him.

As the fourth son of a third wife, it’s better not to waste this time.

Therefore, they all stayed away from the location of Fu Zhiyi and the Sixth Prince.

The emperor called out to a few more people and asked them a few questions before signaling them to come and watch.

The winning Imperial College team had an extra set of four treasures of the study, and the rest were the same as the other two teams.

Only Fu Zhiyi seemed to be the emperor's favorite and had a good impression of him.

The Sixth Prince was also there to cheer on the side. It was said that not long after the wedding, he had rewarded the bride with four top-quality palace fans, four fragrant ruyi (a type of fragrant scepter), four five-poison purses, four strings of red musk beads, four pieces of phoenix-tail silk, four pieces of hibiscus mats, four pieces of pomegranate-red silk, and four pieces of palace satin.

When everyone heard this, they knew that this was a reward for the female members of Fu Zhiyi's family, and they were all envious.

Fu Zhiyi thanked the emperor, accepted the reward, and followed everyone out of Qinglongtai.

After leaving Qinglong Terrace, everyone dispersed and returned to their homes.

Fu Zhiyi handed the thing in his hand to Daman who was waiting not far away, and returned to the stands of Ningping Marquis Mansion first. From a distance, before he got close, he heard the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers.

Fu Zhiyi frowned and turned to ask Daman, "What's all the commotion?"

Daman chuckled, "Didn't you, Fourth Master, and the others from the Imperial College win the championship? The old marquis was so happy that he asked the steward to buy firecrackers to set off! As for those people beating the gongs and drums, I think they also heard the good news and came here specifically to ask for good luck."

Fu Zhiyi has never liked crowds, so upon hearing this, he turned around and walked towards the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

Daman followed behind and said cautiously, "It's even more lively over at the Shu Prince's Mansion than here! Not only did the Shu Prince buy firecrackers for his visit, but I heard he also invited two small opera troupes to invite the local people to watch the performances for three days so that everyone can have fun together!"

Fu Zhiyi rubbed his forehead and suddenly felt that there was no need to win this championship!

Just as he was hesitating about where to go, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed steward of the Prince of Shu's Mansion, who immediately came forward with a smile, "Greetings, Fourth Master Fu! Our prince was extremely happy to hear that you were summoned by His Majesty! He has sent me here to wait for a long time. Fourth Master Fu, please come in—"

Before Fu Zhiyi had time to refuse, he was surrounded by the steward and a group of servants and guards and brought to the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

On the first-floor stands of the Prince of Shu's Mansion, his face was frozen from smiling, but he couldn't get away.

Upstairs, hearing that Fu Zhiyi had been summoned by the emperor, the Jin and Qin families remained calm.

The Hu family members all showed envy on their faces.

The fourth brother is really lucky. This time he has the opportunity to show up in front of the emperor. If he leaves a good impression, his future will naturally be limitless.

Thinking back to my own man, ah, there is really no comparison!

Upstairs, several concubines and wives were busy complimenting Bai and Lan.

Lu Zhenzhen was also surrounded by several people from the Hu family and was congratulated.

The couple, one upstairs and the other downstairs, although they are not in the same place, they suffer the same sin.

My face is stiff from smiling and I’m numb from saying polite words.

No matter what anyone said, she would just keep a stiff smile and reply skillfully, "No, no, you're welcome. No, no, not even close to that..."

In the end, Lu Zhenzhen didn't even know how she got home.

My mind is completely numb.

After returning to Tingtaoju, my first reaction was to ask someone to get a basin of hot water so that I could cover my face with it and soften the muscles that were stiff from smiling. Otherwise, I was afraid that I would have facial paralysis when I woke up tomorrow.

When Fu Zhiyi came in, he saw Lu Zhenzhen slumped on the couch, letting several maids cover her face with a steaming hot handkerchief.

"What happened to your grandma?"

Hearing Fu Zhiyi's voice, Lu Zhenzhen lifted the handkerchief and looked at Fu Zhiyi's face, which had a frozen smile but was still smiling at the moment, and burst out laughing.

Ask the maid to get another basin of hot water and apply it to Fu Zhiyi's face.

Fu Zhiyi couldn't wait any longer and felt a strong soreness in the corners of his mouth.

He grabbed the handkerchief off Lu Zhenzhen's face, threw it into the basin, poured some water on it, wrung it out, and then covered her face with it.

My face suddenly felt hot, a little hot, but it was so hot that it seemed to open the pores on my face, and I felt relaxed all of a sudden.

Fu Zhiyi lay down next to Lu Zhenzhen and sighed comfortably.

Lu Zhenzhen and the other maids poured some hot water, put a handkerchief over her face again, and then lay down.

The couple lay side by side, and only at this moment did they feel completely relaxed.

After a while, Fu Zhiyi finally found the strength to speak: "His Majesty has given me a few gifts. I asked Daman to take them back and put them in front. I will have him send them to you tomorrow. You can pick a few to give to the old lady and the others as a filial gift, and keep the rest for yourself."

Lu Zhenzhen turned over, touched Fu Zhiyi's arm, and patted it: "Fourth Master, you've worked hard today! Are you tired?"

Fu Zhiyi's body paused. For some reason, his nose felt a little sour, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and his eyes were swollen and sore.

Today, everyone is congratulating him or envying him, but no one cares about him. Is he very tired? Is it very hard?

You know, this was also his first time meeting the emperor.

He seems calm, but he is terrified in his heart!

Especially when the emperor asked questions, before answering, he had to quickly ponder every word and every sentence in his mind several times before he dared to speak out loud.

I was afraid that if I said something wrong I would offend His Majesty.

Or if I say something inappropriate, it will give His Majesty a bad impression of me.

His heart was always in tension.

Even after meeting His Majesty, he did not dare to relax until he returned to Tingtaoju.

Hearing Lu Zhenzhen's words at this moment, he felt that all the hard work and everything he had endured today were meaningful!

He was very glad that he had a handkerchief covering his face, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if Lu Zhenzhen saw him like this.

He took a deep breath, turned over, and hugged Lu Zhenzhen in his arms.

Lu Zhenzhen wanted to struggle a bit, but her face was still covered with a handkerchief.

Fu Zhiyi said softly, "Don't move. Let your husband hold you like this for a while."

Lu Zhenzhen sighed silently, relaxed her body, and snuggled into Fu Zhiyi's arms obediently, reaching out to hug his waist.

Silently comfort him.

Haitang and the other maids tactfully left early.

There were only two people in the inner room, hugging each other, very close.
