◎The two cubs are here to fight for the family property◎

There is no problem in including personal morality and conduct in political performance evaluation, but if you are not allowed to take concubines, you will be killed.

However, this regulation was not brought to the surface, and it was caused by the scandal of the Minister of History, so it was interpreted as a hidden rule by the courtiers.

If you want to look good in the performance exam, then temper your style, and don't keep your little wife in the back house.

For a time, an invisible trend of rectification made everyone panic.

The principal wives of those officials all clapped their hands and applauded her. Even those who were usually indifferent to Chao Nang's wife had to think twice about currying favor with the tigresses at home, for fear that their troubles would be reported to the middle palace and affect their career advancement.

Then again, the ladies of ordinary families are not qualified to make trouble in the palace. How can the queen have time to take care of such trivial household matters

Now Cui Wenxi is in charge of the talent promotion of female officials in the palace, opening up a career advancement channel for talented girls in the capital.

There are many positions in the palace, and some girls with outstanding abilities can choose to enter the palace to hone their skills. These people are in charge of lower-level palace servants, receive a salary, and have a certain level of character.

Of course, girls with a wealthy background do not need to go to the palace to undergo such training, but girls with less prominent backgrounds and want to be promoted can choose this path.

During this period, Zhao Junqi, who was on a private visit to the south of the Yangtze River, sent a letter to the emperor and empress's family in Beijing to report that they were safe. The words in the letter were cheerful and praised the beautiful mountains and rivers and the delicious food in the streets. Cui Wenxi was so greedy that he said to Zhao Yue: " Aniang and the others are as happy as gods."

In fact, Zhao Yue was also greedy and said harshly: "I spend all day eating, drinking and having fun, and I have no future."

Cui Wenxi covered her mouth and smiled, "You are envious and jealous."

Zhao Yue Zheng'er's Bajing said: "You and I are people who can't take any time off. If we do nothing like this every day, we will get bored in a few months."

This is true.

Cui Wenxi personally replied to the two elders from Jiangnan to report that Beijing was safe and told them some interesting stories.

At present, the couple has become accustomed to this kind of life as an empress. Zhao Yue is still as diligent as before, while Cui Wenxi is taking care of everything in the harem better while raising a baby.

Whether it is dismissing palace residents who are willing to leave the palace, rectifying the lifestyle of former officials, or opening up a channel for female officials, they are all using their small power to influence the people around them.

Her actions were highly praised by Yongning, who said to her: "The six bureaus and one division provide another way out for the girls in the capital. Being able to get elected is very prestigious in the family."

Cui Wenxi said: "Those who can hold the position have good abilities. I just want to find more ways out for them."

Yongning said with a smile: "Chang Yue has a heart, I'm used to being ridiculous. Without you and Ping Yang Ren, her free clinic is still supporting her. At first, I thought she was a joke, but I never thought that it would be true. The neighbors treat her so badly." The praises are endless, which shows that it has benefited the people."

Cui Wenxi covered her mouth, "A few days ago, I allocated five hundred taels of silver to Erlang from Erlang's private treasury. I also talked to Erlang about this matter. He said that the political affairs hall failed. If I want to help, I can Take it from the private treasury.”

The two discussed the matter of the free clinic.

Cui Wenxi had plans to open a women's school. She once mentioned it to Zhao Yue. Zhao Yue did not object at that time because the women's school corresponded to private schools. If private schools dealt with the imperial examination, then the women's school dealt with women. The way to survive.

Talking to Yongning today, Yongning also thinks that women’s education is very good and very pragmatic.

Most of the work such as embroidery, weaving and cooking is done by girls. If there is a special school for girls to teach and contact the workshops to recruit students, it can be said to be a great benefit to girls' livelihood.

Therefore, Zhao Yue supports it.

Fast forward a few months, and as the new year approaches, Zhao Junqi and his wife return to Beijing, because the beginning of spring is the day when Pingyang and Gao Mingyuan get married.

At this time, Zhao Yi was already over a year old, could walk very steadily, and could speak a lot of repeated words.

Zhao Junqi was overjoyed to see him. He was a close relative of another generation and loved him very much. He often hugged and teased him, kissed and coaxed him. Madam Ma joked at the side: "With Yi'er here, it should be no longer necessary at this moment." out."

Zhao Junqi responded: "Next year, I will tease Yi'er in the palace and enjoy the happiness of family."

Zhao Yi held the red date cake in his hand and ate it, staring at his grandfather with a pair of lively eyes. That little appearance made Zhao Junqi smile again and again and said: "This child is just like Erlang when he was young, well-behaved and smart."

Ma also smiled and said: "She looks like him and has a calm temperament. She will definitely be smart in the future."

After a while, Zhao Yue and Cui Wenxi came over, and the family mentioned Pingyang's marriage and New Year's Eve trivial matters, which were all related to family matters.

Zhao Junqi enjoys this kind of family happiness very much. He sees that his children are able to stand alone and is not afraid of wind and rain. He also sees that his grandchildren grow up safely and everything is prosperous for the family.

After dinner here, the couple went back, while Zhao Yi stayed in Changchun Palace.

Now that winter is cold, Cui Wenxi did not stay outside for long. When he returned to Jingren Palace, Zhao Yue said: "Seeing my father and the others happy today makes me feel quite a bit."

Cui Wenxi asked curiously: "How do you feel?"

Zhao Yue held her hand and said, "It's nice to be warm and affectionate. No matter when you have your loved ones by your side, you feel comfortable and at ease in your heart."

Cui Wenxi pursed her lips and smiled, "As a husband and a father, Erlang has grown a lot." He added, "The luckiest thing in a person's life is to have a light always on behind him, no matter how far you have gone, No matter how long I have been away, the light is always there when I come back. This is the most secure destination in my heart."

Zhao Yue: "This is a good destination."

They cuddled together, talking about the trivial matters of daily life, enjoying the peace from the busyness, their fingers intertwined, and their eyes filled with each other.

The new year is full of new vitality. When spring comes, the wedding day will arrive. She is the eldest princess and has her own princess mansion. On her wedding day, she "married" the consort Gao Mingyuan from the Gao family into the princess mansion.

This move attracted much talk among the people in Beijing.

At this time, Cui Wenxi was already in the third trimester of pregnancy and wanted to join in the fun. Zhao Yue was afraid that the carriage would be bumpy and there would be many people and troubles, so she didn't let her go.

She felt quite sorry.

The Princess Mansion is not far from the Imperial City. Listening to the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside, Cui Wenxi stroked his belly and said, "The Princess Mansion must be very lively today."

Fang Ling smiled and said, "My dear, don't be greedy."

Cui Wenxi walked outside with her support, "If I was not healthy, I would have a few drinks with her."

Faang Ling: "I'll give birth in a month or two. After my wife gives birth, I can do whatever I want."

Cui Wenxi said: "It must be a girl. After giving birth to her, I don't want to have another baby. It's not easy to carry a baby for ten months."

She was looking forward to being a little princess.

Zhao Yi was taken out by her wet nurse to play with. When he saw her, he ran over happily, hugged her legs and called her mother.

The boy will be two years old in a few months, and his baby teeth have not yet grown in. The weather has warmed up in spring and he wears less clothes. He is as lively as a little monkey, which is particularly cute.

Cui Wenxi pinched his fair face and asked, "Does Yi'er want a sister?"

Zhao Yi ignorantly called his sister, hugged her legs and had fun.

He is a boy after all, he is still naughty at heart. Soon he is running around, curious about everything, touching here and there without getting dirty, and letting the wet nurse chase him.

Cui Wenxi sat under the shade of the tree and watched, and couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast, Yi'er has grown so big."

Faang Ling: "Your Majesty, you must have lived a comfortable life these years."

Cui Wenxi nodded, "It's quite comfortable."

The breeze blew slowly, bringing with it the warmth of spring, and the sun penetrated through the gaps in the leaves. She squinted her eyes and looked up through the gaps, as if she saw the splendor of spring and the vitality.

It is a longing for life and a desire to pursue the future with great interest.

In the evening, Zhao Yue came back and talked to her about the wedding at the Princess Mansion. Cui Wenxi was very interested and said, "The Princess Mansion has not been so lively for a long time."

Zhao Yue smiled and said: "Sister, she must be really happy. She is full of energy and vitality today. I have not seen her like this for many years."

Cui Wenxi: "That means she has met the right person, and she is happy from the bottom of her heart."

The couple chatted about Pingyang's marriage for a long time before giving up.

Cui Wenxi's delivery date is nearly two months away. She is actually a little nervous, even for her first child, because she just wants to let nature take its course. She is only looking forward to the second child, so she feels uneasy.

Seeing that the day of giving birth is getting closer and closer, it is also exciting to open the blind box.

Cui Wenxi prays every day to be a little princess.

I don’t know whether she was too sincere or for other reasons, but the baby was born half a month early.

Having experienced a cervix once, the second delivery was easier.

The day when the second child was born was in the afternoon, and it only took more than two hours from the time the blood started to break and the water started to break. After Cui Wenxi entered the delivery room, she successfully gave birth in just two cups of tea, which was much easier and more relaxed than giving birth to Zhao Yi.

Before entering the delivery room, Mrs. Wen told her that she had given birth to one child and that the second child would be easier. She really didn't lie to her.

Cui Wenxi was supported by Fangling and lay on the armrest. She looked at Po Wen with expectant eyes and asked eagerly: "Is she a little princess?"

Po Wen was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Hui, I'm a little prince."

Cui Wenxi was completely stunned as if he was hit in the head.

Fang Ling saw that her expression was wrong and said quickly: "My dear, don't worry, the little prince is fine too."

Cui Wenxi felt her blood surge. The more she looked forward to, the greater the disappointment. She still had fantasies about the crying newborn, so Mingwen Po came over to show her.

Wen Po hurriedly stepped forward to show her, but Cui Wenxi roughly opened the wrapped swaddling clothes. The child was crying heartbreakingly, his skin was wrinkled, and he was much uglier than when Zhao Yi was born.

Cui Wenxi stared straight at the penis, and couldn't help but show doubts about life. Fang Ling on the side seemed to hear something... break.

Outside, Zhao Yue and his son and people from Taiyuan Hospital heard the baby crying. The stone hanging in his heart finally fell and he asked, "Are mother and son safe?"

The nun inside responded: "Your Majesty, mother and child are safe. The queen has given birth to a little prince."

Zhao Yue was stunned when she heard about the little prince. Thinking of the pictures of ladies in the palace, she felt a little frightened. You must know that Cui Wenxi has been looking forward to the little princess since she was pregnant, but the result was counterproductive, most of which was unpleasant.

The surrounding palaces and imperial doctors congratulated each other, but Zhao Yue had no thoughts and just silently lowered his head and looked at the little boy Zhao Yi.

Now there are two boys here, and there is one more person competing for the family property. He asked for the first time, "Yi'er, do you like your brother?"

Zhao Yi nodded ignorantly.

Zhao Yue: "My brother is coming to fight for your family property. Are you afraid?"

Zhao Yi: "???"

This question is simply poisonous!

The author has something to say:

Haha, the extra chapter will be over after just a few more chapters. In the middle, the timeline will be cut off to write about the two brothers’ daily interactions with each other as they grow up and expand their territory.

Zhao Yue: The family property belongs to my brother. He is a bit stupid. You have to let him. Don’t grab it.

Erzai: Okay.

The family property belongs to my brother, and my brother belongs to me.
