The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the whole country, and exempted and exempted taxes, and the whole world celebrated.
All the guilty persons across the country who were not extremely evil were released. Cui Wenxi also took this opportunity to order people to count all the maids and servants in the palace. It was found that the number of servants was too many and could be reduced by almost half.
So she talked about this problem with Zhao Yue, thinking that she could take advantage of the amnesty to release the palace maids and chamberlains who were willing to leave the palace to make a living.
Zhao Yue also agrees with this. After all, having fewer people means less expenses.
After the couple discussed it, Cui Wenxi issued an edict that all elderly people who are willing to leave the palace to make a living can receive a sum of money to free them.
This move indeed caused a lot of public outrage. Some palace residents in their twenties wanted to find a way out to leave the palace to marry and regain their freedom, so they reported it on their own initiative.
According to statistics, there were about 182 people who were willing to leave the palace. After the palace officials confirmed that these people could leave, the empress took money from her private treasury and sent them to find another way to make a living. Each person was given five dollars. Guan Qian body yourself.
On the day when the palace people took him out of the palace, Pingyang entered the palace and saw the battle. He curiously asked the servant: "Why is it so lively today?"
The chamberlain smiled and replied: "Princess, this is a blessing gift from the saint and the queen. The maids and chamberlains in the palace who are willing to find another way out can get the body and leave the palace."
Pingyang said softly "Oh" and said, "Chang Yue is kind-hearted and willing to give them a way out, which is good."
Now the East Palace has been vacant, Zhao Yue has moved into the Chongzheng Palace where Zhao Junqi lived before, and Cui Wenxi has moved into the Jingren Palace. At that time, she was teasing Zhao Yi, and when she heard someone from the palace reporting that the eldest princess was here, she said, "Please come in quickly."
Now that she has become the queen, Pingyang wants to pay tribute to her.
The two of them are still the same as before, and they have not become different because of the change in status.
Pingyang saw Zhao Yi happily, picked him up and coaxed him for a while, the little guy kept rubbing against her, very lively.
The chubby boy in her arms was babbling at her and talking in words she couldn't understand. She said happily: "This boy is really lively and cute."
Cui Wenxi also touched Zhao Yi's little head and said: "I also want to find a daughter, so I can make a good name."
Pingyang: "Then love is good, and a pair of children can be considered complete."
Cui Wenxi: “I just don’t know if I can ask for it.”
Pingyang joked: "If one doesn't work, just ask for two. You can always get it."
Cui Wenxi pinched her and said, "You are not serious."
The two handed Zhao Yi to the wet nurse to coax them, and went into the side hall to talk privately. Pingyang said: "When I came here just now, I saw a long queue outside. Everyone's face was beaming, praising the emperor and empress for her kindness."
Cui Wenxi responded: "There are no idlers in the palace. Some of the palace residents could have found another way out, but ended up being trapped in the imperial city for the rest of their lives without any control. So I thought it would be better to take this opportunity to let them go free than to be trapped for the rest of their lives." .”
Pingyang nodded, "That's the truth." He added, "Since you have said this, then when you have time, send someone to take a look at Leng Gong."
Cui Wenxi: "???"
Pingyang sighed softly and said seriously: "My grandfather was ridiculous when he was young and did a lot of evil things. He also killed many girls in the cold palace who couldn't help themselves. Now that Erlang has ascended the throne and inherited his ambition, he can also do it for him." He does double duty.”
Cui Wenxi: "Then when I have time, I will send someone to take a look, repair the residence and improve the food so that they can have a good death."
Pingyang patted her hand and said, "Changyue is interested."
Cui Wenxi didn't take it seriously, "After all, it's an old thing in the past. If you can do it, it will be the same."
The two sat together and chatted about daily life. Pingyang took the initiative to mention the Gao family in Yushitai and his intention to marry Gao Mingyuan.
Cui Wenxi looked at her and asked, "Have you really thought about staying away from Gao Ming for the rest of your life?"
Pingyang nodded and said, "I get along well with him." After a pause, "He is a gentleman who values friendship, and I feel very at ease when I get along with him."
Cui Wenxi sighed: "It's good to be practical."
There was a bit of shyness on Pingyang's face, and he was obviously looking forward to this relationship.
Cui Wenxi was pleased that she could have a second love and meet someone she liked. She once thought she would be trapped in the vortex of Xu's consort her whole life, but now she finally got out of it and was willing to accept Gao Mingyuan. She is happy.
Before going to bed at night, the couple teased Zhao Yi in bed. They had dealt with government affairs for a day during the day. This was the time when Zhao Yue was most relaxed.
At present, the little boy has begun to practice sitting posture. Although he is not very stable, he can sit for a while as long as he is supported.
At this time, he likes to bite things. A small deciduous tooth has emerged, and he grabs Zhao Yue's hand and starts to bite. At first, Zhao Yue didn't take him seriously. He never thought that the bare gums would bite someone so painfully.
He said "ouch" twice in pain, and quickly pinched Zhao Yi's mouth and opened it, making Cui Wenxi laugh.
Zhao Yue drooled all over her hands and said with great disgust: "This kid is really dishonest."
Cui Wenxi watched from the sidelines and did not step forward to help.
Zhao Yi came forward to bite his sleeve again, but Zhao Yue carried him out in disgust and threw him to the wet nurse. His movements were like carrying a cat or dog. There was no fatherly love at all, only disgust.
After washing his hands and coming in, Cui Wenxi told him about today's events in Pingyang. Zhao Yue said: "As long as sister is happy, I can do anything."
Cui Wenxi: "She can find the person she loves again. I am happy for her from the bottom of my heart."
Zhao Yue took her waist and said, "Yesterday, my father told me that he would go to Jiangnan for a private visit in a while. He has been thinking about her every day, so I let him go."
Cui Wenxi said: "I must have been holding it back in the palace." He added, "Sometimes I think about having to hold it in for the rest of my life for decades to come, and it really makes me panic."
Zhao Yue didn't like hearing this, "I'm here, right? If you feel bored, you can go to the palace to stay for a while. We'll go there when the summer heat comes."
Cui Wenxi pursed her lips and smiled, "I also want to find a daughter, let's make it a good one."
Zhao Yue grinned, "That's not easy. Come on, we'll go get it right now."
Cui Wenxi pinched him and said, "What if I get kidnapped again?"
Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, "It's enough to have one Chengjue. Don't we have to fight for two?"
Cui Wenxi: "I'm just looking forward to getting a little princess." After a pause, he pinched his face and said, "Hang up all the pictures of beautiful ladies you collected in the past. I want to see those beautiful girls every day, maybe take a look. Will it be done right away?"
Zhao Yue: "..."
Is this okay
Cui Wenxi thought to herself: "Aniang said she would go to Tianxin Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. I also want to go and pray."
Zhao Yue laughed and dragged her to the bed, "I will please my daughter first."
So in order to get a good relationship with his daughter, Cui Wenxi seriously hung up the palace with portraits of ladies and looked at them every day. Not to mention this, she followed Ma sincerely to Tianxin Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha, praying for a daughter.
As a result, when Zhao Junqi and his wife left the palace and went to Jiangnan for a private visit, there was no movement. Cui Wenxi looked at the pictures of ladies on the wall and fell into deep thought. He said seriously: "I am so sincere that I am not sincere this time?"
Fang Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your Majesty is so sincere, maybe she will come later."
Cui Wenxi thought about it and stopped worrying about it.
Now that Zhao Yi can sit up and can even call mother and father, Cui Wenxi looked at Yuxue's cute face and asked him curiously: "Yi'er, do you want to ask for a younger sister to play with?"
Zhao Yi said "Yaya" twice, speaking in baby language that she didn't understand.
Cui Wenxi touched his soft little face lovingly. The guy grabbed her hand and started to chew it, calling her "Mother" vaguely. Cui Wenxi was amused.
The wet nurse brought him rice cereal to feed him. She took the bowl and fed it to the boy herself. He accidentally grabbed the bowl and luckily it didn't get hot. His hands were covered in rice cereal and he also got a lot of it on his body.
Seeing that look, Cui Wenxi felt really disgusted, and was no longer interested in the kindness of a mother and the filial piety of her son. She quickly left the mess to the wet nurse to deal with, while she hid far away.
Let's forget about raising children, she really doesn't have the energy or patience.
Perhaps her sincerity moved Heaven. Guishui did not come at the end of summer, and the imperial doctor took the baby seriously when he asked for pulse.
Cui Wenxi was overjoyed, much more excited than when she was pregnant with Zhao Yi. She was looking forward to having a girl in her belly. She looked at pictures of ladies every morning, and her mind was filled with the cuteness and naughtiness of the little princess.
Normally, since she has already had one child, she should not be so nervous about the child, but Cui Wenxi is not. Instead, she is always cautious and extremely delicate.
Even Zhao Yue couldn't help but tease her and said: "Yuan Niang, let me say something to be honest, if this baby is born with a handle again, is it possible that you can still stuff it back?"
Cui Wenxi didn't like to hear it, "Crow's Mouth, this baby must be a little princess."
Zhao Yue advised: "It's better to be normal. No matter the gender, they are all our little sweethearts."
Cui Wenxi didn't want to hear this, so he changed the topic and said, "Yesterday, I heard Yongning say that there was a fire in the backyard of the Household Secretary's house. At such an old age, the lady even wanted to hang herself. How unbecoming is that?"
Zhao Yue waved her hand, "I've heard about it too. It seems that the Minister of History wants to take in a concubine, but the wife refuses, so there's a quarrel."
Cui Wenxi "tsk-tsk" twice, "Why do you have a concubine when you're half a hundred people?"
Zhao Yue: "As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs."
At that time, they did not take this matter to heart and just thought it was a piece of gossip. They never thought that Mrs. Shangshu had no way to ask for help. Finally, under Yongning's guidance, she actually came to the queen and asked Cui Wenxi to make the decision for her.
This matter is really difficult to handle.
Zhao Yue advised her not to interfere in other people's family affairs, but she did, and the women in the capital applauded.
