Chapter 638 Seventh Aunt

Dongyang was away from his son for such a long time for the first time, and he shed a few turbid tears while holding his son.

Said, "Have you heard about Gao Ming? The pain in my arm that time was caused by him. He was bewitched by Guo Sheng, who was left by the old Su family. The old Su family was too bad, and they harmed so many people..."

Xun Yibo also heard that Gao Ming used the art of aversion to harm people, but he didn't know the details.

He sighed after hearing his mother's words.

Xun Xiang said, "Some things should not be said now. There are still eleven days before my brother will take the palace examination."

Xun Yibo agreed with her and didn't want to ask more questions or think more. He talked about the novelty of the trip in general, divided the gifts, and went back to his yard to study after dinner.

My brother has always been so self-disciplined.

The next day, Xun Xiang went to Ding's house and listened to Ding Lichun's detailed description of the trip. They first went to Beiquan Village, stayed in Ding's yard for two days, and went to Fushan for a day.

Ding Lichun whistled at Feifei on the mountain, and really summoned the whole family down to stay at his home for a night.

Accompanied by Qian Lei and Qian Fei, they not only went to Penglai Island, but also visited the place where Xun Xiang had the accident...

Xun Xiang yearned for it, and knew that it was almost impossible for her to return to her hometown, unless Sun Yumu was sent to Jiaodong to work in the future.

On April 15, Xun Yibo entered the palace to participate in the palace examination.

After seeing Xun Yibo off, Dongyang and Xun Xiang went to Kunning Palace. It was agreed that Xun Yibo would go there directly after the palace examination.

In Kunning Palace, Queen Ye and Xun Xiang were very nervous.

They hoped that Xun Yibo could perform stably. Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, he hinted clearly that if Xun Yibo performed stably, he would definitely select him as the third place winner.

If he performed abnormally, the emperor would not be too biased.

If there was a chance to be the third place winner, of course he hoped that he could grasp it well.

Xun Yibo came to Kunning Palace at the end of the afternoon.

He kowtowed to Queen Ye and said with a smile, "I met Li Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy when I came out. He asked his grandson to recite the article and said it was very good."

After saying that, he recited it again.

Xun Xiang also thought it was good. If nothing unexpected happened, her family would have another third place winner.

Queen Ye pulled her grandson to watch it.

Xun Yi Bo also talked about what he saw and heard during his travels. He focused on the places where Xun Xiang had lived and played...

It was the first time that Queen Ye heard that Xun Xiang was caught by a big fish and taken away. She was so shocked that her mouth opened wide.

"My God, she can still survive like that. Xiangxiang is really lucky."

Xun Xiang pouted and said, "I'm almost scared to death. I don't want to ride a warship to see the sea anymore."

Xun Yi Bo finished dinner here and left with Dongyang.

In order to avoid suspicion, the emperor will come to Kunning Palace the day after tomorrow, that is, after the list is announced on April 18th.

Xun Xiang stayed in Kunning Palace for one night.

The next day, Li Jieyu's daughter was one month old, and Li Jieyu also finished her confinement.

Just after breakfast, a eunuch came to report that the emperor had issued an imperial decree to make Li Jieyu a virtuous concubine. He also gave the seventh princess a name, Gao Mingjing.

Not long after, Li Xianfei brought the seventh princess to kowtow to the queen to thank her.

Li Xianfei was a blessing in disguise, and her promotion speed was as fast as an eight hundred miles express.

It is said that the emperor likes this old woman very much, and he would go to see her every now and then.

The emperor likes her, and the queen likes her, and often gives medicine and things.

Li Xianfei is thinner than before she was pregnant because of her poor health. Because of the makeup, she doesn't look haggard, and her waist is slender, not like she just gave birth to a child.

Xun Xiang took a look at the baby in the cradle, so small, only five pounds after a full month. This child was not only premature, but also seriously ill and almost died. Although he survived, he was a complete sickly child.

But she looks very pretty, fair and clean, more like Li Xianfei. Moreover, she looks a bit like Dong Youcheng when he was a child.

As long as there is no doubt about Dong Niang's origin, no one will associate the Seventh Princess with Dong Youcheng.

The little guy looked at Xun Xiang quietly, and suddenly spit out a bubble of milk, which was very cute.

Xun Xiang's heart softened.

This is the victim of the palace fight.

Queen Ye took the child in her arms with pity, and rewarded her with a set of red gold headdress inlaid with gems and pearls, and a phoenix seven-treasure necklace.

She smiled, "Mingjing is the emperor's old daughter, and I will love her more."

Xun Xiang stretched out her fingers and touched her little face lightly, and smiled, "Seventh Princess is very beautiful."

She is an elder, and cannot say words like "cute".

Xun Xiang gave six books that she edited and signed.

Li Xianfei smiled and said something, but Xun Xiang didn't understand.

A female official smiled and said, "The Concubine Xian said that the Seventh Princess should learn from Princess Xiangxiang and become a talented woman in the future."

Not long after, Concubine Cai Shu, Concubine Qin, Concubine Jia, Concubine Zhang and other concubines and the Sixth Princess came to pay respects to the Queen, and they also congratulated Concubine Li Xian on her promotion.

Although they said they were congratulating, their faces were not very good.

Especially Concubine Cai Shu and the Sixth Princess.

The health of King Kang was completely broken, and there was no hope of winning the throne. It was unknown how long he could live.

But the benefits were given to this mother and daughter. Gao Ming actually escaped death, and the few little ones were sent to who knows where.

Concubine Qin and Concubine Jia were also unhappy. They had sons, but their status was not as good as a woman who gave birth to a daughter. But thinking that their sons had the hope of ascending the throne, they suppressed their unhappiness.

This was the first time the Sixth Princess met Xun Xiang after she scolded her last time. She apologized again, "Xiang Xiang, I'm sorry, I wronged you last time. Alas, I have an impatient temper, I'm easily impulsive, and I'm easily taken advantage of."

After Gao Ming's deed was exposed to the world, Concubine Cai Shu and the Sixth Princess came to Kunning Palace to kowtow to Queen Ye to apologize.

Empress Ye was generous and didn't argue with them.

Xun Xiang didn't like that family, they were eager for quick success and were particularly noisy. This time, she was used by the emperor and the queen and didn't know it, what a fool.

Xun Xiang said "hmm" and walked away.

As they were talking and laughing, the eunuchs from the Taiji Hall came to report, "Report to the queen, the emperor has an imperial edict to be sent to Xifu Palace, Xiuhe Palace, and Yanhua Palace. Please go back and receive the edict."

Empress Ye smiled at them and said, "I congratulate you first, go back and pack up to receive the edict."

Is this going to give them a promotion? The sixth princess will marry a husband and move to the princess's mansion at the end of April. She knew that she would be given a title.

Concubine Cai Shu was full of bitterness. Her son was useless, so what was the point of giving her the title of a noble concubine.

Concubine Qin and Concubine Jia were very happy, and left happily amid the congratulations of everyone.

Xun Xiang had heard from the queen's grandmother that the emperor would show favor and promote their status. The main reason is that the Eighth Prince will soon return to the palace, and they must be comforted.

More than half an hour later, the eunuch ran back to report, "Report to the Queen, Princess, the Emperor has sent the imperial edict to confer the title of Imperial Concubine Cai Shu, the title of Concubine Qin Shu, the title of Concubine Jia De, and the title of Princess Zhaoyang of the Sixth Princess."

Empress Ye also gave rewards to those people to show her congratulations.
