Not long after the third prince arrived, the princes began to compete in literary talent.

Zhuang Qionghui was too lazy to look at them. She didn't like any of the men here, so she wanted to go back to rest on the pretext that she wasn't feeling well.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince worked hard for a long time. After drinking for three rounds, he pretended to take a walk and visit the garden, thinking about "encountering" his little cousin for a while, but he didn't know that the heroine didn't follow the script.

Just ran away.

In the afternoon, Zhang Siniang ran into the guest house and said to Zhuang Qionghui, "Sister, do you really want to see His Highness the Third? He is leaving."

"If you don't go, it's too late for me to hide." Zhuang Qionghui held a brush in her hand and was painting.

The painting was of the spring scenery she saw in the yard today. Zhang Siniang tilted her head and looked at it, sighing: "Sister, the painting is really good, but it's a pity that no one can appreciate the flowers when they bloom!"

"screw you!"

Zhuang Qionghui took the brush and was about to draw on Zhang Siniang's face. Zhang Siniang avoided it deftly and said with a smile: "No one will reward me in the first place! It just depends on who my sister wants to reward me? Is it Erlang of the Song family? Isn't it, isn't it?"

?Sister, just tell me!"

"What can I think about the important matters of marriage, the orders of my parents, and the words of the matchmaker?"

"Then what if your mother wants you to marry into His Highness the Third Prince's house and repay your parents' orders and be a matchmaker?"

"Okay, it's Song Erlang. Isn't it enough that it's Song Erlang?"

Zhuang Qionghui was forced to have no choice but to admit it with a red face.

Zhang Siniang said with a proud smile: "My eldest sister is about to give birth. When my little nephew is one month old, you may be able to meet the second brother of the Song family!"

Zhuang Qionghui's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said: "Your eldest sister is hosting a full-moon banquet. Will Princess Jin from the Song Dynasty also attend?"

"I don't know. Princess Jin is pregnant. Now..." Zhang Siniang counted on her fingers, "It's been six months. I don't know if she will walk around with her belly full. Maybe she can send something to Song Pavilion.

My eldest sister. But I can’t say for sure, my eldest sister is getting closer to Princess Jin! She has a set of clear water sapphire hair and face, which was given by Princess Jin! What’s wrong? Ah, I understand! Is it Sister Zhuang?

I heard that she is the most beautiful woman in our capital, and I want to see what she is like."

"Have you seen Si Niang before? Is she really that beautiful?" Zhuang Qionghui asked cautiously.

Zhang Siniang thought for a while: "When that sister was the Crown Princess three years ago, I went to her birthday party with her. But I was too far away and didn't see it clearly. And there were too many delicious food at the party.

I patronized and ate, and that one seemed to be... indeed a great beauty. After all, everyone said she was the most beautiful beauty in the capital, so she couldn't be ugly, otherwise His Highness wouldn't like her so much."

"Your Highness, do you like her very much?"

"How did I know this? That's what the eldest sister said."

Zhuang Qionghui sighed softly: "She has no beauty, but she is an idiot beauty. Such love will probably not last long."

These words were a bit abrupt, and Zhuang Qionghui felt a little regretful after saying them.

However, Zhang Siniang didn't seem to pay much attention. She was already lying on the table and began to study Zhuang Qionghui's various precious paints.

Zhuang Jinyi accompanied His Highness the Third Prince to the pavilion agreed in advance to rest, but in the end he only met a few sisters from the Zhang family, but not his own sister.

He thought it was the Zhang family who had selfish motives, so he couldn't help but feel unhappy.

As soon as the third prince left, he immediately asked his servants to go to the backyard to call his sister.

Zhuang Qionghui walked in, holding her stomach and looking uncomfortable.

Zhuang Jinyi was shocked, it turned out that he really felt uncomfortable?

"Huier, what's wrong with you?"

"It's time to have a little time! What else can happen?" Zhuang Qionghui bit her lip and said angrily.

Zhuang Jinyi lamented: "Why does it happen to be today that His Highness the Third has already left!"

"Let's just go. Brother, you are serious. The exam is about to start next month. If you don't hurry up and read a few more days, just have some boring poetry meetings. I told you before that I would let you read what His Highness wrote.

Have you read that arithmetic book?"

When Zhuang Jinyi mentioned the book, he frowned and replied impatiently: "Have a look."

"Really?"

"Look! Sister, you should go back and rest quickly. Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"

Zhuang Qionghui sighed, but before leaving, she warned: "Study that book carefully! Maybe Enke will take the exam this time!"

Zhuang Jinyi shook his head indifferently.

He read the book from beginning to end, but didn't understand much. Instead, he memorized the preface written by the emperor at the beginning. For this reason, he also wrote several articles on the integration of Confucian classics and practical learning. He himself

It's very satisfying.

Concubine Zhuang was not unhappy when she heard that Zhuang Qionghui happened to be unwell on the arranged day and did not meet her son. Her niece looked good, and her son would definitely like it.

She never thought that this little girl would look down on her son.

On the night of February 13th, Aunt Bai came in with a candlestick and woke up Song Qingyue who had fallen asleep.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Grandma Song has launched an attack!"

Li Zhao was woken up along with him. Knowing that Song Qingyue had a good relationship with her sister-in-law, he was not annoyed at all and asked: "Shall Meng Wanfeng and Doctor Jiang go over and wait?"

Song Qingyue nodded and said to Aunt Bai: "Mom, please go and invite the two of you in person. I won't cause trouble. After mother and son are safe, give me a message."

"Hey! I'll go right now, old slave."

Song Qingyue shouted again: "It's late at night, let Master Zeng accompany grandma."

When Li Zhao heard Song Qingyue calling Zeng Maozhi "Master Zeng", he looked at her a little funny, but in the dark, Song Qingyue didn't notice. He just yawned, lay down again, and pressed another piece of Li Zhao's warm body.

Li Zhao held her hand tightly and said, "Dr. Jiang checked her pulse before and said that the pregnancy was very good. She will definitely be safe for mother and child. You can sleep peacefully."

Song Qingyue was still confused, so she let out a low hum, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

He slept until dawn, and when he woke up, Li Zhao had already entered the palace to continue working as a cow and horse for his father.

Aunt Bai walked in with a face full of joy and said: "Yesterday went as smoothly as possible. The child came down after more than an hour, and it's a brother! Princess Jing and Dean Jiang were gone without any effort.

"

As she said that, Aunt Bai covered her mouth and started laughing, unable to stop. Song Qingyue also laughed: "Help me send two thank-you gifts to Princess Jing and Dean Jiang's homes respectively."

"Where's Grandma?" asked Aunt Bai.

Song Qingyue thought for a while, then Mo Fan suddenly said: "Is your Majesty sending the original manuscript of a volume of exercises to my nephew?"

Aunt Bai immediately said: "That's not possible! What if it gets torn?"

Song Qingyue agreed: "Sister-in-law will send some tonics and fabrics first. As for the little nephew, I will send him a jade lock first. I can give him other things when he is older. Don't worry."

Aunt Bai went to the warehouse and selected three pieces of jade material, and asked Song Qingyue to pick them. Song Qingyue thought that the three pieces were all good, but she couldn't choose a good one, so she simply said: "Send them all to Shopkeeper Liu to have them carved. This piece is full."

The green one is carved with a peace sign, the white one is carved with a jade lock, this one is green, purple and white...let Shopkeeper Liu watch and use it himself."

Aunt Bai said yes and left happily.

When Li Zhao came back from the palace in the evening, Song Qingyue told him with a smile: "Sister-in-law had a very smooth birth! She came out in just over an hour!"

"Boy or girl?" Li Zhao asked casually. In fact, he already knew it when he was in the palace. After all, Song Jianming was full of joy today and he was cheerful all day long. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

Song Qingyue glanced at him: "Does it matter whether it's a boy or a girl?"

Li Zhao immediately surrendered: "It's not important, it's not important! Our sister-in-law is going well, and the most important thing is to be safe!"

Only then did Song Qingyue nod with satisfaction and reveal the answer: "He's a brat."

Li Zhao laughed, sat down and kissed Song Qingyue, the host: "It's a good sign, we will all go well."

After dinner, Li Zhaocai told Song Qingyue: "By the way, make preparations and come with me to the palace to stay for a few days later this month."

"Why? Father, does he miss his son?" Song Qingyue was confused.

Li Zhao chuckled and shook his head: "Go into the palace and get out the exam papers!"

Song Qingyue raised her eyebrows and smiled even more cheerfully, thinking wickedly in her heart about how the candidates who received the examination papers would be wailing.
