Chapter 1203 Chapter 1203
On July 4, the results of the palace examination were announced.
Anxious Jin Fuyun had asked a servant in her mansion to keep an eye on the list early. When the servant saw the list was announced, he ran over and told her the name. She thought she had heard it wrong.
"Who is Tanhua?"
"Yu Yichun from Jiangzhou." The servant replied tremblingly, "Miss, I am sure you are not mistaken. I can recite all the first-class scholars. The top scholar is Yan Gaocen from the Yan family of Kuocheng County, and the second place is Cui Shuang from the Cui family."
No Huang Zhi?
Jin Fuyun suddenly stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.
Three lives! In the past three lives, Huang Zhi had won the top three places on the gold list every time because of his good looks. His lifelong political struggle with Pei An also began from then on.
How can it be?
"Then... who are the second-class ones?"
This?
The servant was in a dilemma and bowed to answer, "Miss, today we have selected 27 candidates for the second place in the special examination, and the first place is the third son of the Huang family, Huang Zhi."
After saying this, he said a few more words. Jin Fuyun felt weak all over and waved the servant away.
She half lowered her head, her mind full of confusion. What had changed? Why had the imperial examination changed? The top three on the gold list had all changed, and Huang Zhi had also lost his ability to fly to the sky...
Seeing this, Panxi and Panlan whispered, "Miss, I can read, so why don't I go and copy the list for you to take a closer look."
Jin Fuyun waved his hand weakly, "No need."
The little maid outside came running in, stood outside and called out in a low voice, "Miss, the eldest young master's wife is here."
They couldn't turn him away, so Jin Fuyun perked up and told Pan Xi to go and pick him up.
After a few breaths, Jiang sat down with a beaming face, holding Jin Fuyun's hand tightly, "My dear sister, great joy is coming. Congratulations, sister. Congratulations, sister."
Jin Fuyun looked exhausted, "What joy are you talking about, sister-in-law?"
"The imperial decree granting marriage, the people in front of the Queen Mother quietly passed a message out, saying that the Queen Mother asked Master Huijue to look at the date, and October 8th is a good day for marriage and to make achievements. After that, there will be few days that can match with my sister and Prince Yong, so simply-"
what?
Jin Fuyun was speechless, "Arranged marriage? How come it's an arranged marriage?"
Jiang was puzzled by Jin Fuyun's inappropriate words, and murmured, "According to reason, my sister and Prince Yong should have set a date. The Queen Mother in the palace is kind and benevolent, so she added this imperial decree to help my sister's marriage..."
Do not!
Jin Fuyun suddenly stood up and said, "October 8th, this... this is too early!" Only three months, what can she do in three months?
Yu Cheng's whereabouts are unknown now. Although He Wenhan has not asked her yet, it is possible that she will be found out.
At that time-
Jiang carefully pulled Jin Fuyun over, only to find that she was trembling all over and her palms were sweaty, "Sister..."
"sister in law!"
Jin Fuyun knew that she had been a little too radical, but how could she be willing to watch her life's work go down the drain?
She hates!
But I don’t know who to talk to?
Turning around and looking at Jiang, she couldn't even force a smile, "Sister-in-law, this marriage... is so sudden." If she had known this, she would have gone to Beijing later, what could she do!
She missed Pei An too much.
She was nearly driven crazy by lovesickness, and now, instead of fulfilling her wish, he sent her to that foreign bastard.
why?
Why is God so cruel?
Jin Fuyun's eyes were blank and she couldn't stop trembling. The coldness from inside to outside swept over her in this hot summer. Jiang's face was full of doubts. She dismissed the maid and waited until no one was in the room before she whispered, "Sister, are you still unwilling to marry into the Prince of Yong's mansion?"
The last bit of clarity in her mind made her shake her head slightly.
"Since you are willing, why does my sister——"
"Sister-in-law, I'm scared."
Jin Fuyun made up an excuse at random, "I have never met Prince Yong before, and I'm suddenly linked to him. How can I not be terrified? After all... He Dalang passed away long ago, and my reputation..."
"Oh! What did I think it was? My sister has been worrying about this? That doesn't count at all."
Jiang immediately felt relieved. "In terms of reputation, he is worse than you. The princess he married before was probably too weak and couldn't stand his aggression. In fact, I'm afraid you are the right match for him."
Jin Fuyun laughed bitterly, "Sister-in-law, you are like my own sister, I won't hide some things from you."
"Sister, please tell me."
Seeing Jin Fuyun's gloomy expression, Jiang felt pity for her. This sister-in-law had everything ready, but her marriage had encountered setbacks again and again.
In her opinion, Prince Yong is a rare good husband, and she doesn't know what her sister-in-law is worried about.
"Sister-in-law, my body...I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth."
Things have come to this point. Jin Fuyun wanted to make the worst move, but when she said it out loud, she was already feeling desolate. If this were to get out to anyone, wouldn't it be like hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting herself by eight hundred?
"Sister, you can't say such nonsense. I see that you are strong and healthy, with a rosy complexion, and the complexion is what a girl from a wealthy family should have. You can't do that."
"real--"
Jin Fuyun was determined. She grabbed Jiang's hand and sobbed softly, "I'm afraid my brother and sister-in-law don't understand why I'm still in such a state of anxiety even though I have a husband like Prince Yong. I really have a lot of suffering. Mother was obsessed with giving birth to me, and it was extremely difficult for her. Even though she has been taking good care of herself since her period, now it's..." When she said this, her eyes were filled with tears. She bit her lips and sobbed, shaking her head slightly.
"Which doctor are you seeing? I'm afraid you're seeing things the wrong way."
Jiang was a little anxious. This was no small matter. If she really couldn't give birth, her sister-in-law's life would not be much better, let alone marrying into the Prince of Yong's Mansion, even if she married into an ordinary wealthy family.
"Sister-in-law, look at these bottles and jars of mine. They are all valuable gynecological herbs worth thousands of dollars. I have been taking them for five or six years. When I have my period, the pain is unbearable, but there are only a few spots..."
this--
Jin Fuyun fell into her arms and cried, "Who made women in this world have to marry and have children? Sister-in-law, seeing me like this, am I going to follow in my mother's footsteps? Mother got such good sons and daughters-in-law like my elder brother and sister-in-law, how can I have the same fate?"
After saying this, he burst into tears.
"Don't worry, sister—"
But how could these words comfort Jin Fuyun? She had been panicking and worried over Yu Cheng's failure in the past two days, and was already feeling anxious and helpless. At this moment, she cried, half acting and half feeling aggrieved.
Outside, Panxi and Panlan looked at each other, feeling even more frightened.
"I have wanted to give up the idea of getting married several times, but my father and mother sincerely hope that I can have a good family. Sister-in-law, how dare I say this?"
Now that it’s almost here, what should I do?
Jiang whispered to comfort him, "Don't make this public. Just pretend you don't know. Let's take it one step at a time. If you really can't recover, we can discuss other things later."
Prince Yong is a foreigner, and his wives and concubines are not allowed to be either male or female, so there might be problems there.
Jin Fuyun: ...Thank you for being so eloquent.
