"Eldest sister is the Empress, and my brother-in-law is the Emperor," Madame Feng Junior retorted in a low voice.
How could her current status not be comparable to Duke Rongguo's Heir?
She would not admit it.
"That's right.
But there is still the Retired Emperor above the Emperor.
There is still the Retired Empress above me. Do you know the relationship between Duke Rongguo and the Retired Emperor? They grew up together.
The old Duke Rongguo's wife even nursed the Retired Emperor.
When the Retired Emperor was pacifying the world, Duke Rongguo saved him countless times.
And this time, when the former Crown Prince forced the abdication, it was also Duke Rongguo and Count Jia who saved him.
Do you think you are nothing compared to Duke Rongguo's Heir? "The Empress looked at Madame Feng Junior.
Madame Feng Junior squeezed her hands and did not speak.
"Our Feng family has been granted a title of nobility, but what does Marquis Chengen mean?
Do you understand? Marquis Chengen was conferred because I became the Empress.
This title was conferred by nepotism. Can our mansion be compared with Duke Rongguo's mansion? "The Empress sneered.
As long as the Retired Emperor was alive,
No one in Rongguo Province dared to touch him.
Even the Emperor did not dare to touch him. The Retired Emperor did not lack sons, and the Emperor's throne was not so stable. He still had a disciple? He was eyeing him covetously.
"Your Highness, please calm down. Your sister has been spoiled by us too much. When I go back, I will teach her well," Madame Feng said.
"Mother, I can only say that Rongguo Province is an excellent marriage partner. Although Duke Rongguo's Heir had a child, the child was raised in the East Mansion. It was easy, and my sister could not see him. As for the title of nobility, isn't it still a long time?" The Empress narrowed her eyes. As long as she could survive the Retired Emperor, the title of nobility would change.
Mother Feng also understood what the Empress meant and hurriedly said yes.
"You don't have to be so timid after marrying him. After all, you are the Empress's younger sister. The people in Rongguo Mansion are all smart. No one will go against you. But first of all, you can't make any mistakes," the Empress reminded her. It didn't matter if her younger sister didn't know it, but her mother understood it. When she went back, she would tell her younger sister in pieces. Just like that year, when she became the Fourth Prince's wife for two years, she became more and more unbalanced under the contrast of the other Princes' wives. It was also her mother who told her to put her in the right place.
"Yes, thank you for your advice, Your Highness," said Mother Feng.
Two years later, Xia Lu was inspecting the effects of these face creams when suddenly, two small heads popped in from the door.
Xia Lu saw the two cautious little heads from the corner of his eyes, but he pretended not to see them and focused on checking the face cream.
The two little heads looked at each other and smiled happily. Then the two little people tiptoed into the room and quietly came to Xia Lu's side. Then they suddenly hugged Xia Lu's waist and said in unison, "Sister-in-law."
Xia Lu put down the face cream, looked at the two little people, and kissed each of their faces. "My two little darlings, where did you go to play?"
"We went to the amusement park to play." Jia Yao and Jia Lian's favorite place in the fu was the amusement park, and then Xia Lu's courtyard.
"How long did you play?" asked Xia Lu.
"We played for two hours. Sister-in-law, please don't tell Big Brother," whispered Jia Lian to Xia Lu. Jia Zhen had set a rule that they were only allowed to play for an hour each day. Today, Jia Zhen had gone to participate in the imperial examinations, and the two little fellows had no one to take care of them, so they couldn't hold back and played for too long. Thus, the two of them felt a little guilty.
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you." Xia Lu thought to himself. Even if I don't tell, your big brother will still find out. There are so many servants in the fu, your big brother can just ask any one of them and find out.
"Sister-in-law, you're the best!" Jia Yao beamed. As expected, Sister-in-law was the best, and Big Brother was the worst. Jia Yao and Jia Lian looked at each other, their eyes filled with approval. As expected, Big Brother was the worst.
Xia Lu rubbed the two little fellows' heads and thought of Jia Zhen. She wondered if Jia Zhen was doing well in the exam. She had seen how diligent Jia Zhen had been in the past few years. If Jia Zhen didn't pass the exam, she didn't know how Jia Zhen would break down.
"Sister-in-law, will Big Brother come back today?" Jia Yao rolled her eyes and asked in a childish voice.
"Yes," Xia Lu said.
"Oh." Jia Yao was a little depressed. If Big Brother didn't come back, then Sister-in-law could sleep with them.
Sensing what they wanted to do, Xia Lu pursed her lips and smiled. These two little darlings were also capable. They often made Jia Zhen angry. Both of them were two-faced. Jia Zhen, as an adult, also suffered a lot in the hands of these two darlings. Xia Lu thought that this was very good. In the future, they wouldn't be deceived by others.
Jia Zhen, who was busy writing in the exam room, didn't know that his two younger brothers were trying to steal Jia Zhen away. However, at the same time, he was also being watched by others.
"Today, the heir of Ningguo Province entered the exam room, right?" Madame Fengsheng asked.
"Yes, he did," Zhen Yingjia said.
"That is to say, the heir of Ningguo Province will definitely come back to the capital this year. Third Girl has been raised by me for several years. It's time for her to get married, isn't it?" Madame Fengsheng said.
"Grandmother, you mean the heir of Ningguo Province, but the heir of Ningguo Province has a wife," Zhen Yingjia said.
"A girl from a branch family wants to be the legal wife of the heir of Ningguo Province? Don't be kidding, "Madame Fengsheng sneered. She thought back to when she went to take care of the Retired Emperor. In less than half a year, the Zhen family got a second wife. It sounded nice that she was taking care of her husband and son. In fact, when she was released by the Emperor, what kind of life was her son living? During those years when she served the Retired Emperor, she gave him most of her monthly allowance. As a result, the Zhen family took her money and wore gold and silver. Her son was like a housekeeper of the Zhen family. She didn't have any feelings for the Zhen family. If her son wasn't surnamed Zhen, she wouldn't have schemed so much.
"But these years, I didn't hear anything about the heir taking in a concubine. The heir seems to have a good relationship with his legal wife. Third Girl, the heir may not accept her," Zhen Yingjia didn't have any feelings for those concubines' children. However, whether Third Girl could win the favor of the heir was still unknown.
"Men are all like that. The heir has been observing mourning for these years. After the exam, who doesn't want to eat meat? Besides, they are from a noble family. I don't know how many dirty things there are." Zhen Yingjia had seen a lot of dirty things in those years when he was with the Retired Emperor. There were countless people who got pregnant during the mourning period. They drank and watched the play. It was just that they hid it well.
"Yes, grandson will arrange it." Anyway, she wasn't his daughter, so he wouldn't feel bad.
When the Jia Zhen came out of the examination hall, he was exhausted. However, this was just the beginning. There were still a few more exams. He was just taking the county exam. After that, there were still the provincial exam and the college exam. After the college exam, he would be a Xiucai. After that, he still had to take the provincial exam, the metropolitan exam, and the court exam. The Jia Zhen only felt darkness in front of him.
"Are you okay?" Xia Lu looked at the Jia Zhen's tired appearance and was a little worried.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. Fortunately, I've been diligent in training these years. This is nothing." The Jia Zhen was satisfied with his condition. Although he was a little tired, he felt okay. The worst were those scholars who kept on talking about their studies. They thought that everything was inferior to their studies. They didn't think about training their bodies. In the end, many of them were carried out.
"Now you know the benefits of training? Keep it up. "Xia Lu saw that the Jia Zhen's condition was really good, so he was a little relieved.
"No wonder all these years, my father didn't let Lin'er take the imperial exam. Lin'er's knowledge is much better than mine." The Jia Zhen sighed.
When Xia Lu heard the Jia Zhen mention Jia Lin, it suddenly occurred to him that Jia Lin and Jia Liushi didn't have long to live.
"Where are the two brats? I haven't seen them for a day. I really miss them. "The Jia Zhen asked.
"They've already gone to sleep." Xia Lu said.
"I'll go and see them." The Jia Zhen went to Jia Yao and Jia Lian's room. When he saw the two of them hugging each other obediently and sleeping, he was satisfied. Then he looked at Xia Lu, who was smiling gently. He couldn't help but ask, "The two brats are already so big. When are you going to give birth to a brat for me?"
"No matter what, I have to wait until you finish the exam. Otherwise, you won't be able to do anything." Xia Lu smiled proudly.
"I can still do you during the exam." The Jia Zhen was angry.
"Pfft." Xia Lu laughed happily. "You don't want to take the exam properly. Do you want to take it again?"
The Jia Zhen was embarrassed. The imperial exam was more important now. After the exam, he would do this vixen and then give birth to a brat. After the brat was born, this woman wouldn't like other women anymore. Thinking that this violent woman still had thoughts about other women, the Jia Zhen's sense of crisis never subsided.
