Li Jinglan was shocked when she saw Li Fengxian.

How did you get so fat?

Seeing Li Jinglan's gaze, Li Fengxian couldn't help but frowned.

She knew she had gained a lot of weight.

But there’s no need for Li Jinglan to be so surprised, right?

So he suppressed his anger and sat in front of Li Jinglan.

"We haven't had time to congratulate you since my brother-in-law passed the imperial examination. We came here specially to congratulate you today."

Speaking of juren, Li Fengxian was full of resentment.

How did you do it?

How come when Li Jinglan married Xia Jifang, Xia Jifang's journey to becoming a scholar and a juren was extremely smooth?

How come after marrying Lu Bozhou, her path to becoming a scholar and a juren was so smooth?

Especially Lu Bozhou.

He was obviously about to die, but now he is full of energy.

I heard that he was favored by Governor Yin.

"Thank you for your congratulations." Li Jinglan was too lazy to exchange pleasantries with Li Fengxian and went straight to the point.

"You've gained too much weight!"

Li Fengxian took a deep breath and clenched her fists. "Do you want to fight with me?"

Li Jinglan chuckled: "I see you have an elderly nanny by your side. Has she ever told you that if a mother eats too much, the baby will most likely be fat when she is born?"

"Isn't this good?" Li Fengxian glanced at Li Jinglan's slender figure.

"You can't give birth to a child yourself, so you're jealous of me." Li Fengxian rolled her eyes.

Li Jinglan just smiled faintly and said, "If the child is too big, it will be difficult for you to give birth. Giving birth has been a test of hell since ancient times. Think about it carefully."

This light sentence dealt a heavy blow to Li Fengxian.

She finally began to think seriously about this sentence.

Nanny Lin said the same thing to her.

But she still took supplements desperately, just hoping that her child would be healthy.

But if the child is born, her life will be in danger.

Then what’s the point of her giving birth to a healthy child?

It is never as good as her own happiness if her children enjoy it.

"I heard that Wu Fangfei went to your house." Li Jinglan suddenly spoke.

The slight favor that had just arisen in my heart for Li Jinglan was completely dispelled by these words.

Li Fengxian looked at Li Jinglan viciously, "Are you laughing at me?"

Li Jinglan sighed: "Do you know why she went to your house?"

"Why?" Li Fengxian narrowed her eyes.

Li Jinglan told the story of how Wu Fangfei first went to Beijing to find Lu Bozhou but failed, and then went to find Xia Jifang.

"If there is still something you don't understand, you can go back and ask mother!" Li Jinglan said in a subtle tone.

Li Fengxian was stunned and her face looked extremely ugly.

Wu Fangfei was Xia Jifang's concubine in her previous life. Was it her mother's fault?

In this life, my mother did the same thing.

But she was the one who suffered.

If the mother had not done anything bad to plot against Lu Bozhou.

How could Wu Fangfei seduce Xia Jifang?

"I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do, so I'll go back first." Li Fengxian didn't want to talk to Li Jinglan anymore, so she turned around and walked out.

When they reached the door, Li Fengxian suddenly asked, "If the Lu family also had a Wu Fangfei, how would you deal with it?"

Li Jinglan smiled softly, "Do you think she can threaten your wife's position? Will the Xia family agree to favor a concubine and kill your wife?"

Li Fengxian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Can I send you a visiting card again in a few days?"

Li Jinglan nodded, "As long as you're not here to quarrel with me, it's fine."

Xia Jifang was talking to Lu Bozhou at this time.

His expression was extremely respectful.

"...Books need to be read, and not only should they be read, but they should be read every day." Although Lu Bozhou was devoted to the imperial examination, he also knew about the mess in Xia Jifang's family.

"Women can mislead people." Lu Bozhou said earnestly.

Although Xia Jifang was dissatisfied, he did not dare to refute Lu Bozhou's words.

He looked at the study with envy.

In the study, there hangs a calligraphy piece that Yin Zhihai gave to Lu Bozhou.

This is a Grand Secretary of the Palace!

The calligraphy is extremely precious.

It is hung in Lu Bozhou's study.

Several figures walked past the window.

I could vaguely hear someone talking.

"…A few days ago, the loan shark Hu family sent us a house to live in, but I refused."

This is a female voice.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Jifang heard Zhou Jin's voice.

"It's good to refuse. We don't interact with merchants."

We do not interact with merchants!

Xia Jifang shrank back.

The Xia family is a merchant.

It’s just that there is a relative of mine who works as a Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Works.

If the Xia family didn’t have this relative.

I’m afraid he can’t even get through the Lu family’s door?

At this moment, Xia Jifang felt the pressure from the Juren.

This is the natural contempt of those in a higher position for those in a lower position.

After he and Li Fengxian got on the carriage, Xia Jifang was still in a daze.

After a while, I came to my senses.

Xia Jifang glanced at Li Fengxian. Although she was somewhat disgusted by Li Fengxian's current fatness, she whispered humbly, "Can you send your visiting card again in a few days?"

He had told Lu Bozhou several times today that he wanted to visit again in a few days, but Lu Bozhou just ignored it.

"As long as you don't enter Wu Fangfei's yard in the next half month, handing in a visiting card will be a simple matter." Li Fengxian glanced at Xia Jifang.

"Okay." Xia Jifang nodded.

"Accompany me back to my parents' home later." Li Fengxian frowned.

Return to my mother's home.

Li Fengxian went to find her mother angrily.

Her mother, Mrs. Li Wu, thought that she and Xia Jifang were angry, and was about to scold Xia Jifang when Li Fengxian suddenly spoke up, "Why did Wu Fangfei provoke Xia Jifang?"

"Ah?" Li Wu felt guilty for no reason and avoided Li Fengxian's sight.

When she saw her mother like this, Li Fengxian knew that Li Jinglan was right.

She was going absolutely crazy.

"Why did you do this? How have I ever done anything wrong to you that you let Wu Fangfei harm me?" Li Fengxian pointed at Li Wu and burst into tears in anger.

"Other mothers would protect their own children, but you, on the other hand, planned for your niece to be your eldest daughter's concubine. When your eldest daughter failed to frame you, she decided to be my concubine? You really love your daughter."

In the past few months, Li Fengxian often made trouble because of Wu Fangfei and Xia Jifang, and Mrs. Li Wu already knew about it.

Seeing her daughter blaming her, she felt so guilty that she didn't even dare to say a word.

Li Fengxian looked at her mother.

I just feel hopeless.

Beijing.

Although he had the right to enter the palace at any time, Prince Jin still handed in the sign according to the rules and bathed and changed his clothes before entering the palace.

The emperor is reviewing the memorial.

He looked up and saw the King of Jin coming. He was very happy: "Brother King, Yunyou is back?"

"I'm back." Prince Jin bowed and was worried when he saw the grayness under the emperor's eyes.

"Are you tired lately?"

The emperor shook his head, "It doesn't matter."

After reviewing the memorials, he invited the King of Jin: "Let's go for a walk outside. It's been a long time since we two brothers have walked in the snow together."

Prince Jin took the fox fur coat from the eunuch and put it on the emperor before walking out of the hall with the emperor.

There was light snow outside the palace.

The emperor couldn't help but sneeze.

"Let's go back." King Jin asked with concern.

The emperor waved his hand and ordered the eunuchs to stay away.

Walking side by side with King Jin in the snow.

"I heard that you went to Nanli County?" asked the emperor.

"Yes, Nanli County is doing pretty well under Xu Feng's governance, and the people are honest and simple. This year, the first place went to Nanli County, and two more people passed the exam."

The emperor nodded. "Come to think of it, I haven't left the imperial city for a long time."

"When you get better, you can go anywhere in the world," said the Prince of Jin with a smile.

The emperor let out a long breath, watching the gas turn into white refining, "I'm afraid it's not possible."

Prince Jin's expression darkened and he changed the subject, talking about what happened in Xishui Village.

"Let students read agricultural books to farmers? This is a good thing." The emperor was a little excited.

"Next year, when you are feeling better, I will accompany you to Xishui Village. I have made an appointment with the old farmers there to go and see the harvest next year." Prince Jin smiled lightly, but his hand was placed under the emperor's arm.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh, somewhat fascinated: "It is said in Si Sheng's book that according to the method in the book, the yield per mu can reach 7 to 8 shi. But I have tried it for several years in the imperial farm, and the highest I can get is only 3 shi."

"If they can really increase production, it will benefit the country and the people."

When the emperor mentioned the words "benefit the country", he raised his head slightly and a few snowflakes fell on his face.

Ice cold.

Just like that snowy night seventeen years ago.

"Is it true that I will never see him again in this life?"

The emperor sighed softly.

"My son, are you still alive?"
