The triennial spring imperial examination has begun again.
When Yueyao went to visit Mingzhu, Mingzhu spoke to her about the spring imperial examination: "My husband's cousin is also participating; I wonder if he can pass?" Besides Niu Yanghui's cousin, Niu Yangchao is also attending the spring imperial examination.
Yueyao wasn't interested in Niu Yanghui's cousin or Niu Yangchao, as she had no connection with either of them. Yueyao pinched Mingzhu's round face and laughed, saying, "You look really prosperous." Mingzhu had been living well and had put on some weight.
Every time Mingzhu talked about her figure, her face would fall: "The last time, when I gave birth to Little Bun, it took me three months to slim down. Now, looking like this, it will take a year to lose weight. Having children really ruins your figure. No wonder they say women don't look as good after having kids."
