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

However, Uncle Lan also told Fu Zhiyi not to worry too much, as the Spring Examination was a very important matter, especially since people from the line of Grand Princess Gang Deqing had been arrested or demoted, leaving a lot of positions vacant.

The emperor has all these positions in mind, and is just waiting to pick the right candidates to fill them.

The Jinshi who will pass the imperial examination in the coming spring and have their names on the list of successful candidates are the talent pool favored by the emperor.

The emperor has accumulated a lot of power over the years. Those who could have restrained him in the past have either retired and returned to their hometowns or had other things happen to them. These people are almost nowhere to be found in the court.

The last line of Princess Deqing also collapsed, and it was the peak of its power.

Anyone who dares to tamper with the Spring Examination, which the emperor values ​​most at this time, would probably think that his life is too long.

Therefore, Fu Zhiyi only needs to be more careful and cautious after entering the examination room, and nothing serious should go wrong.

He also specifically told Fu Zhiyi not to tell Lan and Lu Zhenzhen, so as to prevent them from worrying too.

Fu Zhiyi didn't need Uncle Lan to tell him, he just thought so.

If Lu Zhenzhen knew about this, she would probably blame herself.

How could he bear to let Lu Zhenzhen blame herself!

On the way home, I stopped by the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

When the Sixth Prince met Fu Zhiyi, the first thing he asked was, "Have you finished writing the latest chapter of Journey to the West?"

Fu Zhiyi rolled his eyes at the Sixth Prince, but before he could say anything, the Sixth Prince rushed over and started searching all over.

The manuscript was not found, but Fu Zhiyi gave him an elbow.

He grimaced in pain, rubbing his chest as he followed Fu Zhiyi into the house.

After entering the house, Fu Zhiyi poured himself a cup of tea to warm his hands, feeling as comfortable as if he were at home.

The Sixth Prince curled his lips and lazily sat down next to Fu Zhiyi. "How did you find time to come out? Aren't you supposed to be studying hard in seclusion?"

Fu Zhiyi ignored the Sixth Prince and only asked, "Is there any follow-up to the incident involving Grand Princess Deqing?"

The Sixth Prince's lazy smile remained, but his tone became serious. "Father is old after all, and remembering the old friendship, he has become much more lenient. Furthermore, Princess Deqing has gone to the Empress Dowager to ask for her help. With the Empress Dowager's intercession, Father will naturally hold back. At least for the short term, Princess Deqing won't cause any trouble, and I won't touch her again!"

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but complain: "Although Princess Deqing is a woman, she is also a character! In just a few days, she made such a decision and even submitted a list of her officials directly to my father, just to protect the Marquis of Jingning. This is not called cutting off the tail to survive, this is completely cutting off the head! This woman is really cruel. With so many sons and grandsons, she only saved her eldest son in the end!"

Fu Zhiyi frowned, "Grand Princess Deqing handed it over too readily. I'm worried there might be something fishy going on! Have someone keep an eye on her!"

The Sixth Prince's expression became serious. "What do you mean?"

"If you have time, carefully review the list of officials that the Grand Princess handed over. Besides the well-known members of Grand Princess Deqing's family, are the others all insignificant positions?"

"Also, wasn't the Grand Princess in constant contact with the Second Prince back then? Now that the Grand Princess has been impeached, the Second Prince hasn't made a single move. This doesn't make sense!"

……

The Sixth Prince's expression became more and more serious, and he changed from being lazy to sitting upright!

After hearing the last part, the Sixth Prince's face darkened and he gritted his teeth, "We have underestimated Grand Princess Deqing! After all, she has gone through three dynasties, so it's definitely not that simple! Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this!"

Fu Zhiyi reminded him, "After you find a clue, if you find it difficult to continue investigating, don't force it! Find a way to pass the information to His Majesty and let His Majesty investigate!"

The Sixth Prince nodded: "Don't worry, I'll save you the trouble!"

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and then Fu Zhiyi was about to say goodbye and leave.

The Sixth Prince did not stay in vain. Instead, he had someone pack up the four treasures of the study and asked Fu Zhiyi to take them with him. "This set is a valuable item, especially the inkstone. Even in the coldest weather, the ink will not freeze. It will be just what you need for the Spring Examination."

Fu Zhiyi didn't refuse. He packed up his things and rushed home.

On the way, I saw a stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts. I smelled the delicious aroma of the chestnuts, so I got off the carriage and bought a bag, putting it in my sleeve before going home.

As soon as I entered Tingtaoju, I saw Lu Zhenzhen talking to Aunt Ye, so I walked over and stuffed the sugar-roasted chestnuts into Lu Zhenzhen's hands: "I just saw someone selling them on the road, so I brought you a bag. It's still warm."

Lu Zhenzhen smelled the sweet fragrance of the chestnuts and immediately peeled one and put it in her mouth. It was indeed sweet and pink, filling her mouth with sweet fragrance.

It was so delicious that my eyes narrowed.

She peeled another one in her hand and fed it to Fu Zhiyi's mouth: "Try it too."

Although Fu Zhiyi doesn't like sweets, he would happily bite into the chestnuts peeled by his wife.

Seeing that Lu Zhenzhen loved to eat, he carefully peeled them one by one and fed them to his wife while asking Lu Zhenzhen, "I just came in and heard you talking to Madam Ye about what to prepare. What are you going to prepare?"

Lu Zhenzhen's mouth was full of chestnuts and she didn't have time to speak.

Madam Ye smiled and said, "Fourth Madam and this old servant are discussing the preparations for the Fourth Master's Spring Examination! The Marquis' Mansion may not be fully aware of the situation and may be worried that the preparations are not complete. This morning, Fourth Madam has already sent a letter to the Lan Family to inquire about what is needed so that nothing is left out and nothing is taboo."

Fu Zhiyi's eyes softened involuntarily. He stuffed another plump and sweet chestnut into Lu Zhenzhen's mouth and said, "Thank you, Fourth Grandma. Thank you for your trouble!"

After Lu Zhenzhen swallowed the last chestnut, she raised her head proudly: "Don't be so polite! The Fourth Master is the one who has worked hard!"

After saying this, the couple looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Nanny Ye also smiled as she watched the young couple perform their tricks.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone outside come to tell him that the Lan family had sent a maid over.

He hurriedly invited the person in.

The old woman looked somewhat familiar, and seemed like the one who worked beside Madam Lan.

After greeting, he explained his purpose and said that he had received the letter, which was a personal reply from Madam Lan, and contained a list of everything that needed to be prepared.

As he spoke, he presented the letter.

Along with the letter, there was also a box carried by the people following the old woman.

The old woman said respectfully, "The eldest lady said that there are many things. She was afraid that the young lady and her husband would not be able to find suitable ones, so she simply packed up what she had at home and asked this old servant to bring them here."

"Young lady and son-in-law, check if they can be used. Pick out the ones that can be used and use them. It will save a lot of trouble if you buy the ones that can't be used later!"

Lu Zhenzhen has always known that Madam Lan is reliable. This matter concerns the important matter of Fu Zhiyi's spring examination, and she is always attentive and considerate.
