My husband is sour every day

Chapter 1217: Moving the Red Line

Xiao Wan enters the palace.

salute.

I have to say that Xiao Wan has grown very fast in recent years.

She was only eleven years old when she studied with Yi Yi.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Time really flies.

When I think back to the first time I saw her, I felt that she had a kind of unyielding tenacity.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You must be very happy to have passed the exam!"

Xiao Wan nodded and smiled: "Yeah."

After all, there is a feeling of standing out.

"What are your plans next?" Shen Xia asked.

After all, Juren can already take exams for the Imperial Department and the Education Department.

If I continue to take the exam, it will be more difficult.

Shen Xia was curious about Xiao Wan's thoughts.

"I intend to continue taking the exam." Her tone was firm.

Shen Xia raised her lips and said, "Okay, keep going. Strive to be the first female champion in the imperial examination in the Celestial Empire."

In fact, Shen Xia didn’t know whether Xiao Wan could become the female top scorer.

But because Xiao Wan is the younger generation, Shen Xia habitually praises the child.

And some children will indeed work harder because of your praise.

But I never thought that Xiao Wan would strive to become the first female number one scholar in the Heavenly Dynasty just because of your majesty's words.

Then he gave Xiao Wan some more things as rewards.

Then he asked, "Xiao Wan! You and Yi Yi are close. Have you heard that Yi Yi has someone she likes?"

The main thing is that they all live outside the palace now.

Although Shen Xia has met Xiao Wan for a long time, the way a child looks in the eyes of his parents is definitely different from how he looks in the eyes of his friends, so Shen Xia plans to meet Xiao Wan first and then ask Yi Yi what she thinks.

Xiao Wan listened to His Majesty's question and was completely surprised.

Will Your Majesty ask about the eldest princess's love life?

Xiao Wan could only reply, "Your Majesty, when the princess and I are together, we only focus on studying and rarely discuss matters of the heart. Besides, Your Majesty doesn't seem to be particularly interested in anyone."

Shen Xia frowned: "Really."

Xiao Wan: "Yeah."

Shen Xia looked at Xiao Wan: "By the way, you are two years older than Yi Yi. Do you have any young men you like? I can introduce you to one or two."

She knew that it was not easy for Xiao Wan to make a living under her stepmother.

She's probably not going to find a marriage that suits her.

Besides, she admired Xiao Wan's talents and certainly didn't want her to worry about the affairs of the harem in the future.

After all, she has been by his side for so many years and is a relatively ambitious girl. Sometimes, Xiao Wan's indomitable spirit reminds people of A Yao.

Xiao Wan was stunned. She didn't expect that His Majesty was worried about her marriage. She had no idea about marriage.

But if it was His Majesty who introduced her, she would still be willing. After all, she knew His Majesty very well.

Your Majesty will not give random instructions to the mandarin ducks.

Shen Xia suddenly thought of Mr. Fan’s grandson. Xiaoyu seemed to be twenty-five or twenty-six years old this year, and he didn’t seem to be married yet.

Speaking of this, Shen Xia suddenly felt that people are getting married later and later.

Is it because everyone has started to work hard on their careers that it’s late to get married?

Shen Xia looked at Xiao Wan and said, "Fan Yu, the grandson of the former Minister of Revenue, Mr. Fan, what do you think?"

Xiao Wan was surprised.

this......

I'm afraid she doesn't deserve it!

Shen Xia saw Xiao Wan was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Wan said, "Master Fan is very knowledgeable, and as a legitimate son, I'm afraid he would look down on a concubine like me."

Shen Xia laughed: "This is not something you can say!"

Xiao Wan: "I am very confident in myself, but the world sees things differently from me."

"What does it matter what the world thinks? What if others happen to be the same as you?"

Xiao Wan did not refute but knelt down: "Your Majesty, please give me some advice."

It has to be said that she had no idea about marriage.

But if it was Fan Yu.

She thought it was okay.

Because she knew that Fan Yu's parents were separated and only lived with her grandparents, she would not have to worry about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts in the future. She was determined to pursue a career and did not want to be distracted by the rear house.

Just do it.

Shen Xia asked Eunuch Sun to invite Master Xiao Fan into the palace.

Lord Fan because Fan Yu was on the list of successful candidates.

He won the third place in the imperial examination.

Entered the court.

The next year, Mr. Fan retired and returned home.

This time I also brought my grandparents to Phoenix.

The two old people can just stay at home and live a leisurely life.

Every day I wonder when Fan Yu will be able to get married and have children.

They can take care of the children.

As a result, they waited year after year, which made the two elders anxious.

Lord Xiao Fan enters the palace.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Fan Yu saluted in a standard manner.

Shen Xia never beat around the bush: "Fan Yu, do you have a girl you like?"

Fan Yu was stunned. What did he think the emperor wanted to summon him to the palace for?

The result is asking about one's own marriage.

How come His Majesty is just like his grandmother?

Unnaturally said: "No."

"No! That's perfect. You're not young anymore. Do you want a wife?"

Fan Yu: Your Majesty, do you have to be so straightforward?

"Don't be in a hurry. If you haven't met someone you like yet, we can talk about marriage when we meet someone we like."

Shen Xia smiled and said, "I think there's a good girl, but I don't know if you want to meet her."

Fan Yu looked at His Majesty curiously.

Shen Xia saw that he was curious.

He said directly: "Xiao Wan, his father is Xiao Zhenghou."

Fan Yu was stunned.

He knew Xiao Wan, who was the eldest princess's study companion.

The successful candidates in this year's imperial examination.

Although she was not the first woman to pass the imperial examination.

She was also one of the first women to pass the imperial examination.

He had heard of this person.

She was well-educated and ambitious. Although she was a concubine's daughter, he had heard of the lyrics she wrote before.

not bad.

You can see her yearning for the future and her dissatisfaction with her original environment.

Want to break free from the constraints of the cage.

Want to be a useful woman.

Fan Yu: "Isn't her ambition to pass the imperial examination?"

Shen Xia: "Can't your future wife pass the imperial examination?"

Fan Yu quickly shook his head: "No, I'm just worried that the marriage will restrict her."

Shen Xia smiled: "So she needs to meet a good man, and I think you are a good man. Her future achievements will not be low, and she needs a husband with a broad vision."

What it means is: You are a good man.

Fan Yu smiled: "I don't know what Miss Xiao thinks of me, but if Miss Xiao is willing, I would be honored."

Of course, Xiao Wan's mother was forced into Xiao Zhenghou's house because of her outstanding appearance.

So of course Xiao Wan is not bad looking.

Shen Xia was surprised that a marriage could be arranged in this way.

Suddenly I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Shen Xia looked at the back of the study: "Come out!"

Fan Yu looked at His Majesty in confusion as he looked at the back of the study.

Then a woman in sky blue clothes came out.

Fan Yu's face turned slightly red.

My first reaction was that I didn’t say anything wrong!

Fan Yu greeted politely: "Hello, Miss Xiao."

"Hello, Lord Fan."

Very official answer.

Shen Xia looked at the two of them and said, "I won't grant you a marriage for now. You two should try to understand each other's customs. If it's suitable, I will grant you a marriage."

The two of them bowed together: "We will follow your majesty's orders."

The two of them were introduced by His Majesty. They met privately, and no one dared to say that they had a private transaction.

"Okay, all of you go down!"
