Zhan Heng no longer calls himself me. In front of Nan Jin, he is willing to put down his pride as an emperor.

Nan Jin stared intently into Zhan Heng's eyes. Apart from being filled with deep affection, she could not find any trace of dishonesty in them.

Silently, her heartstrings trembled slightly as if being plucked by invisible hands.

She no longer persisted, and relaxed into the man's arms, letting his arms cover her completely.

The maids withdrew with winks, leaving only this pair of beautiful people in the palace who looked like a couple of gods.

After a while, a woman's charming and trembling moans could be heard in the palace.

In August, the golden breeze blows coolly and the sky is clear and clear.

In the Song Mansion, Lan Xi and others were sitting around the hall looking forward to it. Today was the day when the results of the provincial examination were announced.

Song Lanzhang is the eldest son of the Song Dynasty and the successor of the next generation. He is only sixteen years old and he became an academician last year. To put it bluntly, he can be called a Song scholar.

"It's just a provincial examination. My brother is so knowledgeable and will definitely be among the best. Why do you need to be so nervous!"

Song Lanjiu spoke to comfort everyone, but he himself stared at the door without blinking, for fear of missing the announcement from the boy who was watching the list.

Song Lanzhang was a little embarrassed by the praise, but did not refute. He was indeed quite confident in this provincial examination.

"Yeah, that's right!"

Lan Xi, however, agreed with her third brother. She had no idea about the ancient imperial examinations. She just truly felt that Song Lanzhang was very powerful from her daily interactions. If nothing else, there would be no problem in the provincial examinations.

With her sharp eyes, she saw Wen Chen running quickly across a few thresholds.

"Coming!"

There was no need for her to remind her, everyone who was staring at the door carefully saw it, and they couldn't help but stand up from their seats. The result was right in front of them, and even Song Lanzhang became a little nervous.

"Great joy! Not only is the eldest son on the list, but he is also number one. He is Jieyuan!"

As soon as Wen Chen entered the door, he couldn't wait to announce the good news. His face almost turned into a flower with a smile, and he was so proud of the eldest son's good results.

When he proudly stated that Jie Yuan was his son in front of the imperial examination, the people around him were filled with envious eyes and endless cheers.

"Jie Yuan! It's Jieyuan! That's great!" Liu Yunyao repeated it several times in surprise, overjoyed.

"Brother, congratulations, your years of hard study have not been in vain!"

Song Lanshu is also happy for her brother. She and Song Lanzhang are close in age, so she understands her brother's pressure and ambition best.

Song Qinnian nodded and patted his son's increasingly thick shoulders.

"good!"

Song Lanzhang, who was recognized by his family, finally stopped trying to hide his joy and had a smile on his face.

"Dad, Mom, eldest brother won the first place, should we go to a restaurant to celebrate!"

She knew that Lan Xi wanted to go on her own, but her eldest son was indeed very happy today, so Liu Yunyao didn't care about it.

With a wave of Song Qinnian's hand, the family arrived at Sifanglou, the largest and most prosperous building in Beijing.

The results of the provincial examination were released today, and the whole capital was very lively. Many families whose students were successful came to the Sifang Building to hold a banquet.

Lan Xi and the others arrived just by chance. Not to mention the private room, there was only one table left empty in the lobby. Lan Jiu relied on her small agility to grab it in front of another family.

Lan Xi gave him an appreciative look and hurried over with her second sister Yun Shu in hand.

"There are so many people today! This is the first time I have seen so many people in the capital!"

Only such a scene can be worthy of the word prosperous!

"I don't know, let alone the Chinese New Year, even the Lantern Festival, when the whole city celebrates it, is more lively than this!"

Lan Jiu summoned the waiter and murmured to Lan Xi.

"So what, it's because there are too many people, so my parents don't want me to play!"

It's not that she doesn't know, but at times like this, she usually has no part in it and can only covet it.

"You will be six years old during the Chinese New Year. You and your mother will rub it in, and maybe she will agree. Then you can take your second sister with you and let her watch you!"

Lan Jiu has been watched by her eldest brother and second sister since she was a child. They are biological brothers and sisters, so there is no doubt about the brother-sister relationship between them.

During this period, the second sister was always constrained by some broken rules and was bored at home day after day. Lan Jiu felt very sad and took this opportunity to let her go out to relax.

Lan Xi then thought about it and realized that this was indeed somewhat feasible.

Even Liu Yunyao didn't want to see her daughter too quiet. What did the rules of a noble girl in the capital have to do with the Song family's daughter.

Several people ordered a large table of dishes, but unfortunately there were too many guests so the dishes were served slowly. They were not upset, so they waited patiently to feel the smell of fireworks here.

At this time, voices came from the next table.

"Master Feng, you are here too!"

"Mr. Meng! Nice to meet you!" someone at the table responded.

"Isn't this the results of the provincial examination? Quanzi got on the list by luck. Her mother is doting on her and she insists on coming to Sifanglou to celebrate. Could it be that Mr. Feng is also..."

The man laughed loudly: "Isn't that why I came here? Unfortunately, I came late and there are no seats left."

"What's so difficult about this? My table is just big enough for two families to sit together. If Master Meng doesn't mind, we might as well come together!"

"That's...good! I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!"

The people at the table were behind the Song family. Lan Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at Song Qinnian.

Dad, do you know these two?

Song Qinnian blinked, nodded affirmatively and then shook his head.

We know it, but not familiar with it!

Lan Xi noticed Song Qinnian's seat and sideways sitting posture, and immediately understood that it was not only unfamiliarity, but also a bad relationship!

The table at the back started talking again.

"October is the birthday of Your Majesty. I wonder if Master Feng has prepared any birthday gifts?"

"Brother, don't laugh at me. I'm worrying about what to do in two months!"

"Don't worry, brother, it's still early, and you can still make it in time whether you search inside or outside Beijing."

"I hope so! Haha..."

…

The conversation at the back table came to an end temporarily, and Lan Xi immediately looked at her father in surprise.

Dad, what about you, are you ready?

Song Qinnian had no choice but to close his eyes and shake his head to indicate this little girl.

Not yet!

Lan Xi wanted to continue, but Liu Yunyao gently slapped her on the forehead.

"What are you two talking about? The food is already served, why don't you hurry up and eat it!"

Lan Shu, who was sitting next to Lan Xi, didn't miss the movement behind her and the quarrel between the two of them. She looked at Lan Xi with a half-smile and gave her a piece of mutton with chopsticks.

Well, she doesn’t need to worry about this. Since her father is here, she should just concentrate on eating!

Two months later, Lan Xi and others put on new clothes specially made for entering the palace and boarded the carriage.

Thanks to Song Qinnian's promotion, otherwise their family would not be qualified to enter the palace for the banquet!

The two daughters were sitting in a car with Liu Yunyao. It was not her first time entering the palace, but it was her two daughters, so she had to carefully explain some of the rules in the White House to them.
