Rou Niang no longer participated in the subsequent enthronement ceremony. She returned to the general's mansion. She was exhausted these days.

"Madam, you must be tired. Go to bed early. I'll make you some bird's nest porridge. After drinking it, take a bath and have a good sleep. Your fatigue will be gone." Chunhong said sweetly.

"Zheng Wanru lost the election. Did the Zheng family not ask her grandmother for help?" asked Rou Niang.

Although Zheng Wanru took the palace examination, she was not selected. The emperor might not like the sweet type. Rouniang had no choice but to do something about it. She was also worried that her grandmother, Old Lady Liu, would be embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Madam. Even if a woman who has entered the palace examination is not selected, she has proved that she is good enough. The matchmaker is almost knocking on the door of the Zheng family." Chunhong said.

This is true. The talent show is also to select outstanding women in all aspects from all over the country. The closer she is to the end, it also shows that she is good enough. Naturally, there are many people who want to marry her, so she will not have trouble finding a husband.

Only Miss Chu is stupid enough to do something that would destroy her reputation.

"Madam, the master is back." Mingyue said,

Not long after, Mo Bei came back from the military camp. He hugged Rou Niang as soon as he entered the door and said, "Madam, you have worked hard recently. I heard that the talent show is over. You should have a good rest these days."

"You came back early today." Rou Niang said. She was busy with the selection that day and worked until late. Mo Bei's military camp was also busy and came back late as well.

"Don't you know you're back?" Mo Bei said with a smile.

After they had dinner together, Rou Niang did not call the children over because she really wanted to rest early.

In the end, the wish was not fulfilled, and the night was spent in the warm tent...

The next day, Rou Niang looked at Mo Bei with dark circles under his eyes as he got up and dressed in high spirits, feeling very resentful.

"Be good, take a rest and don't be in a hurry." Mo Bei felt a little apologetic, as he couldn't control himself last night.

"Okay, then have breakfast before leaving." Rouniang gave this instruction and fell into a deep sleep again.

She didn't get up until noon, but her three daughters obediently accompanied her to have lunch.

"Mom, you've worked so hard. Drink more of this soup. It's very nutritious." Yuyan thought that Rouniang was tired from the talent show.

Rou Niang blushed a little, picked up the soup and drank it slowly.

"Mother, the Emperor has already conferred titles on those people. Liu Lianxing came to express her gratitude this morning and did not disturb you. She packed up her things and left with the palace people." Yurong said.

"What was her title?" asked Rou Niang.

"It's the noble man." Yu Jin said.

"Is the position of the noble lady very high?" Yu Yan didn't understand.

"Not really. From the top to the bottom in the palace there are the Empress, Imperial Noble Consort, Noble Consort, Consort, Noble Consort, Consort, Honored Lady, Noble Lady, and Maid. Each position in the palace has a corresponding monthly salary to be received." Yu Jin explained to her second sister,

"Yujin, how do you know so much? Did you read it while reading?" Yuyan sighed. Not only did her elder sister love reading, but her younger sister was also so knowledgeable, which made her seem so unmotivated!

"Second sister, you are smart. You should read more in the future." Yu Jin encouraged.

Yu Yan said with a bitter face: "Forget it."

Rou Niang and Yu Rong laughed when they saw this: "What palaces do the others belong to?"

"I heard from Lady Liu that Prime Minister Wen's daughter Wen Jingyi and General Wu's daughter Wu Anran were given the title of noble concubines, Wang Yafu of the Wang family was given the title of concubine, Li Biyue was also given the title of noble lady, and Liu Ping'er was given the title of a maid," Yurong said.

"She told you everything." Rou Niang said.

"It was my daughter who sent her away. She and my daughter had been estranged these days, so she told my daughter when she left." Yurong said. She actually felt a little pity for Liu Lianxing. A girl came all the way to the capital city, with no relatives there. She only had some connections here.

"She is also a pitiful person." Once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. The future depends on yourself. Liu Lianxing is from Fucheng and is a member of the Liu family. There is no way you can get rid of the relationship.

"Mingyue, in the name of the Princess's Mansion, send her some gifts and congratulate her." This is tantamount to announcing to the public that he has recognized this person as his own.

Mingyue took the order and went out. After a while, she came back and said, "Madam, Liu Changzai's stepmother Madam Liu wants to see you."

Rou Niang frowned: "I have no intersection with her, I'll see you now."

In the afternoon, Rou Niang went to see Old Man Mo. Since the two got married, Rou Niang knew that Old Man Mo was very ill.

Even though I have the spiritual spring water, there is no way to stabilize my father's illness. His body is aging and heading towards death. This is a fact that cannot be reversed no matter what.

"It's Rouniang. You're back from the talent show." Old Man Meng was lying on the recliner, looking very weak.

Rou Niang walked forward, held her father's hand and said, "I will stay at home with you from now on, and I won't go anywhere else. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"Alas, I'm old now, and nothing tastes good anymore. Just sit here and chat with me." Old Man Mo shook his head. He had lost his appetite recently. Everything he ate tasted the same. It seemed his tongue had also degenerated.

"Okay, then I'll stay here and chat with you." Rou Niang smiled and sat next to Old Man Mo.

"Rouniang, you and Mo Bei have been married for a while. When are you going to have a baby? Daddy, I don't favor boys over girls. I just want to see you get pregnant and have a baby. I'm looking forward to the birth of a little life. It's a pleasure to watch." Father Meng said with a smile. Old people like children to be lively.

Rouniang nodded. "It's almost time, Dad. Wait a little longer."

"Okay, Dad will be waiting. But you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. Don't be anxious. If Dad passes away, remember to burn some paper at his grave to let you know. I'll be happy for you when I get the news." As Dad Mo was talking, he actually fell asleep again. This has been happening to him lately. He would fall asleep while talking and wake up at some unknown time, sometimes during the day and sometimes at night.

Patient Rouniang covered Old Man Meng with a quilt and carried the rocking chair to my father's bedroom.

"Dad, you should have a good rest." Rou Niang said, and then left. She felt very heavy, seeing her father like this. Thinking about every little thing with him, thinking about him protecting her, thinking about him not falling into the bear's mouth to save her, thinking about a mutually supportive escape.

Unconsciously, my eyes turned red. When I returned to my room, I felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Chunhong walked forward and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just a little chest tightness. I'll be fine after sitting down and resting for a while." Rouniang waved her hand.

Chunhong hurried forward to support Rouniang's chest. "I'd say Madam is probably tired. Eat more good food these days to replenish your body."

At this time, Mingyue brought a bowl of ginseng soup: "It's the ginseng chicken stewed this morning. Skim off the fat on top, the essence is all in this soup, Madam, please have some."

Rou Niang took it, took a sip, and suddenly felt nauseous and vomited on the side of her face!
