Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Chapter 256 A Humble Son from a Poor Family VS A Noble Son 19

On the occasion of Madam Feng's birthday, Feng Yun and Feng Yunyan returned to the Marquis's residence to celebrate with her. After paying their respects, Feng Chang, Shen Qiwei, and Shengyuan were summoned to the study by the Marquis.

Logically, Feng Cibai wanted Feng Yun to come to the study to talk, but worried that these matters would trouble him and affect his recovery, so he didn't invite him.

Feng Yun stayed by her mother's side and was happy for her elder sister when she saw the joy on her face.

Only Chen Shi, Feng Yunyan, and Feng Yun remained in Old Madam Feng's house.

“Mother, after I entered the Duke’s mansion, I heard from Awei that the Empress Dowager is urging His Majesty to establish an Empress and take concubines, probably after the palace examination.”

"Your father also mentioned this to me," said Old Madam Feng. "According to the rules, the Feng family is supposed to send one of its daughters to the palace. Now that your only legitimate daughter has married out, the only eligible daughter in the family is Feng Yunhe, the daughter of Concubine Bai. Your father and I have already decided to register her under your mother's name, so she is now considered a legitimate daughter."

"Would my second sister be willing?"

Feng Yun asked a question. He and Feng Yun didn't usually interact much, but they were still siblings connected by blood.

"Don't worry about that. After your father told Aunt Bai about it, she was so happy she was practically setting off firecrackers to celebrate. These past two days, Feng Yunhe has been strutting around like crazy," Madam Chen said with a smile.

“Since Second Sister is willing, it can be considered a win-win situation now,” Feng Yunyan replied.

Feng Yun nodded.

"I am truly satisfied with your marriage. My son-in-law recently passed the imperial examination. Although it wasn't a high ranking, he has no worries about his future. My son-in-law is also a shrewd man, and he cares deeply for Yan'er. With him protecting Yan'er in the future, I can feel more at ease." As Grandma Feng spoke, she couldn't stop smiling.

Feng Yun lowered her head, unable to suppress her smile, and stole a glance at her elder sister. The two looked at each other, and Feng Yun saw that her elder sister's face was red all the way to her neck. The two elders looked at the two juniors and laughed.

"You didn't quite grasp your ranking," Feng Cibai said.

At best, Sheng Yuan is only a Jinshi degree holder, which he hadn't expected.

“But I think it’s just right,” Sheng Yuan said. “My grades have always been about the same as my two elder brothers’. If they suddenly fall too far behind, it would arouse suspicion.”

If it's the enemy, they'll investigate even more thoroughly.

Feng Cibai nodded.

Shen Qiyi immediately understood what they meant.

I never expected that my brother-in-law was not an ordinary student.

"Yoona's maternal grandfather is the Minister of Revenue. I have already spoken to him. After the palace examination, there will be a vacant sixth-rank official position next to him. You should follow him and learn from him."

"Yes, thank you for your planning, father-in-law."

Feng Cibai waved his hand, "You answered the arithmetic questions very well; it's your own ability that caught his eye."

He answered all the other questions terribly, but he didn't make a single mistake in arithmetic.

Feng Cibai didn't believe he hadn't done it on purpose.

This person wanted to go to the Ministry of Revenue from the beginning, so that on the surface, the power of his family would not be considered an expansion.

However, given his current status as the son-in-law of the Feng family, his presence in other places might arouse suspicion.

On the day of the palace examination, Feng Yun got up early.

"Today's palace examination is all about getting a ranking, so don't be nervous. I'll be waiting for you outside the palace."

Sheng Yuan was getting dressed, and Feng Yun helped him tidy up, giving him instructions as she did so.

Seeing his serious expression, Sheng Yuan squeezed his hand. "I'm not nervous, and Zi Yuan isn't allowed to be nervous either. Wait for me to come home, okay?"

With him around, Feng Yun would just fall asleep when he was tired. Sheng Yuan was really worried about letting him go out alone.

"Ok."

Seeing that Sheng Yuan was worried about him leaving the courtyard alone, Feng Yun nodded dejectedly.

What a wretched body he has! He can barely even leave the house!

Seeing that he was unhappy, Sheng Yuan put one arm around his waist to close the distance between them, and with the other hand he stroked his neck and lowered his head to kiss his lips.

Feng Yun wrapped his arms around Sheng Yuan's waist, and, following his lead, lifted his head to accept Sheng Yuan's kiss.

A gentle kiss has a calming effect. When Sheng Yuan released him, Feng Yun stared straight at him and even looked up to kiss Sheng Yuan again.

"Rest well at home and wait for me to come back." Sheng Yuan picked her up and gently placed her on the chaise longue.

Feng Yun washed up and changed her clothes, but did not tie her hair up.

After Sheng Yuan left, Feng Yun lay on the chaise lounge, lost in thought.

"Young Master, the First Madam said she's going to the National Temple to pray for blessings. She sent someone to ask if you want to go, saying that everyone in the Pei household is going to pray for the three young masters." Sui Yun came in to report.

Feng Yun snapped out of her daze, "Sheng Yuan won't let me go out."

Logically, one should go when one's mother-in-law sends someone to find them, so Feng Yun did not hesitate to use Sheng Yuan's words to stop them.

"Yes, Suiyun will go and report back immediately."

After leaving with Yun, Feng Yun thought of something.

According to custom, Suiyun should address herself as "Young Madam," but except in front of the Pei family, she always calls herself "Young Master," even in front of Shengyuan, who seems not to care at all.

When Suiyun returned after replying, she saw that her young master was asleep, so she covered him with the blanket that the young master had asked her to prepare.

When Sheng Yuan returned, Feng Yun was standing in front of the Pei residence.

Sheng Yuan laughed when he saw him standing expectantly inside the Pei residence without crossing the threshold.

When Feng Yun saw him laughing at her, she turned around and ran away in embarrassment and anger.

Sheng Yuan hurried off to chase after the person.

The Pei family went to the national temple to pick up someone. When they got off the carriage, they didn't see Feng Yun, but they saw Sheng Yuan walking towards the mansion.

Madam Pei no longer dared to interfere in the affairs of this third son, and Aunt Luo, seeing this illegitimate son, felt disdain and said nothing.

Sheng Yuan, keeping a good distance, strode to the entrance of Ziyun Courtyard and reached out to wrap his arms around Feng Yun's waist from behind.

Feng Yun was lifted into the air. Before he could react, Sheng Yuan's other hand went through the back of his knees and he was picked up by Sheng Yuan. He subconsciously wrapped his arms around Sheng Yuan's neck, his expression still blank.

The servants all lowered their heads, not daring to look.

"Put me down!" Feng Yun patted Sheng Yuan on the back.

Sheng Yuan glanced down at him, then carried the person into the house on his own.

Feng Yun only struggled symbolically for a moment before letting Sheng Yuan hold her.

On the day the results of the palace examination were released, Sheng Yuan promised to bring Feng Yun to see the list.

"Shengyuan, your name!" Feng Yun was very excited. If Shengyuan hadn't been holding his other hand, he would have flown away.

"I saw it." Sheng Yuan tightened his grip on his hand to prevent anyone from bumping into him, and pulled him into his arms. "I've seen the list too. How about we go to a restaurant for dinner?"

Feng Yun nodded.

The infighting between the First Madam and Concubine Luo was none of their business. Feng Yun was naturally happy to finally be able to go out and eat at a restaurant, but he had no right to order food because he had to be careful about what he ate.

Sheng Yuan ordered a few relatively light dishes.

This restaurant is very popular in the capital, and the most popular thing about it is the storyteller.

Feng Yun chose a good spot; he came specifically for the storyteller.

Feng Yun had a great time, and after dinner, Sheng Yuan accompanied her for a walk back to the mansion. However, in the latter half of the walk, Sheng Yuan carried the tired and asleep Feng Yun back to the mansion in a carriage.

After the top scholar's parade through the streets ended, it was time for the Qionglin Banquet.
