The Marquis' Wife
Announcement of palace exams


What happened at the court meeting only spread among the nobility and the royal family, the public did not know that a young Zhuangyuan scholar made leftist prime minister He Yaojin and his supporters feel defeated and had to devise a new plan because the plan they put together failed by a new acting official who had not even that incumbent.


The next day an announcement about the results of the palace examination was announced. People were discussing about who the scholars ranked one to three, especially Lu Xiang and Wang Jiayou who were ranked one and two in the three exams conducted in the capital respectively.


When he found out that the two were neither noble men nor from the city of Shenyang, he said, the mayarakat were shocked and felt the direction of the political wind would turn in an uncertain direction unlike the past 8 years that the champion of the test in the capital was controlled by a noble family.


"Who are Lu Xiang and Wang Jiayou?".


"Said the two only came from an ordinary family".


"Not nobles?".


"Seems not".


"Well! There will be changes in the capital later".


"Already! Do not discuss it further, it has nothing to do with us who are just ordinary people".


"What do you mean it has nothing to do with it? This is clearly very much related to us!!".


Various reactions arise from the community because what happens in the government will have a direct impact on those who are directly under royal rule.


In the morning, the, Lu Xiang did not tell Lu Cai to look at the ranking announcement because he already knew the result but told the man to wait in the outer part of Shenyang city to wait for Adelia and the others he predicted will arrive today.


From the morning, he became anxious and worried for fear of anything happening on his wife's journey to the capital, although he was convinced that no one was monitoring his wife and family in the city of Fucheng, it did not dampen his concerns because he did not see directly and was sure that his family would be fine. In his heart he was lucky to obey the words of Adelia who did not pick up his family personally because it would be fatal if his enemy knew what he was doing after what happened.


Lu Xiang himself was already convinced that he would not side with the fourth prince because he did not want to become a scapegoat after the impact of the proposal he gave, it clearly showed that his Murong Xianxian faction was the opponent.


Recalling that, Lu Xiang again let out a long sigh, he again regretted the proposal he wrote in the palace examination and caused it to have a very strong enemy, he said, he only prayed that the Emperor's attention was high enough to protect him from the faction.


"Master! Grand master! the mistress' entourage has arrived!!. The grand master of the madam entourage has arrived!!".


Lu Cai ran into the rental house and shouted hysterically.


"really?!".


"Yes sir. The madam was heading to the new house that the big lord bought earlier". Lu Cai reported with great enthusiasm.


When he saw the large group, he almost cried out in delight but soon shut his mouth when he remembered the great master's message that he should not make a fuss and be conspicuous.


"All right, I'll be there soon!!".


Lu Xiang changed clothes neatly and looked at his appearance in the bronze mirror before running up the carriage towards the inner city to welcome the arrival of his wife, child and younger siblings.


Along the way, he was very impatient to arrive but the streets were crowded because of the announcement that had been attached a few hours ago so that the horse carriage was running slowly.


Before long, the horse-drawn carriage accompanied by the horse-riding guard so that people became curious who would come to the capital with such a large entourage.


"Great master!" Lu Kai and Lu Tao who were riding the horse carriage immediately got down saluted then opened the carriage door and helped Lu Cheng and Lu Shan to get down.


His two sisters looked left and right, looking at the scenery of the capital which was said to be very sparkling but not as beautiful as their shadows, he said, only the view of the wall separating one house from another and the road wider than the city of Fucheng, besides it makes no difference. 


The two let out a disappointed sigh but their disappointment simply vanished when they saw Lu Xiang.


"Sister Xiang!!. I missed you, brother!!". The two ran over and hugged the thighs of their older brother whom they respected and cared for a lot.


"I miss you too. Where's Adelia?". The first sentence is pleasantries, the second sentence is the real question.


"There was in the carriage, Brother Adel tried to calm Baobao who had just woken up from a nap".


Lu Xiang nodded and stepped onto the carriage and saw a woman who had been in his dream and was now in front of him.


"Sa-honey".


"Lu Xiang!".


"Ualawahhh!!!" Baobao who was disturbed cried loudly, not caring about the romantic scene that his parents were waiting for.


"Shhhh! Baobao is handsome and smart, go to sleep again baby, go to sleep again. No one will disturb your sleep". Adelia glanced back at her husband.


Lu Xiang's lips throbbed speechless, the romantic and dramatic scene he imagined when he met Adelia was crushed just like that by his only child, his only son, he could not even be upset by the cute innocent face and adorable of his sleeping son, long eyelashes that like a fan cover the lower eye and lips that are slightly manyun because in the breastfeeding period that occasionally moves as if drinking asi makes the child's cute power increase several levels.


Lu Xiang was finally only able to smile gently and then moved cautiously toward Adelia and hugged one of the woman's hands and then kissed her forehead, cheeks and lips and just let go when Baobao again feel disturbed and ready to cry.


"I miss you so much, baby".


"I miss you too much Lu Xiang".


The two stared at each other for a long time trying to deepen their memory of each other's faces they hadn't seen in nearly a month.


The information about Lu Xiang's wife reaching the capital spread to the ears of the people who were monitoring the young man, many do not think that Lu Xiang did not pick up his family himself so that some parties who want to take advantage of Lu Xiang's return home activities in enjoying the leave before starting his position can not be realized and aware that Lu Xiang was more shrewd and cunning than they thought.


"Very interesting. I want that man to be my advisor!". Murong Xianting who also started glancing at Lu Xiang immediately got news regarding the arrival of the male wife to the capital.


"But the prince will find it difficult to pull him into our faction because the Emperor also wants to use that man".


"Heh~ That's not a serious problem. You know it's not that the Emperor likes me and my mother very much. I'm sure the Emperor will agree if I ask". Murong Xianting replied confidently, The Emperor's affection for his mother and himself for the past almost 8 years made him forget that standing beside the Emperor was just like standing beside a lion, no one will know when the fangs will lead.
