Jiang Yashuang ignored Emperor Jianjia's depression. After returning to the East Palace, he told his wife: "There are still some troubles to worry about!"
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will get better after a while!" During this period, Emperor Jianjia and his son played a double act to cover up their childishness and negligence in governance not once or twice. Qiu Yilan did not doubt it at all, but comforted her with gentle words. He said to him, "Besides, there is enough rain this spring. I'm afraid it will be a good year, but it is a good sign!"
In this age of relying on the weather, a good harvest is a great thing that everyone looks forward to.
Jiang Yashuang's expression softened after hearing this: "It's not autumn yet, I just hope nothing happens next!"
… How could something not happen again
As if to deliberately temper the trembling rulers, the spring with abundant rain was followed by a drought that lasted two months without rain throughout the country!
The land with abundant water and grass in the south is gone, but in the north many rivers have stopped flowing and streams have dried up, and victims of various disasters are dying of hunger - drought brings fleeing famine, fleeing famine brings starvation, and hunger brings plague...
Of course, the most terrible thing is the rumor: "The Jiang family has definitely done something wrong! Not only did they usurp the throne of the former Rui Young Emperor, but they also drove the young Emperor to Lu Di - they refused to show mercy even in Lu Di. King Lu said it would be gone. God knows how! Now this is a disaster. Who would believe that God is not punishing the Jiang family? "
From the first year of Jianjia to the third year of Jianjia, affairs in the Qin Dynasty basically continued, and everyone in the government and the public was extremely busy. In the past two or three years, the most profound thing Qiu Yilan remembered was hearing that her husband was staying in the house in the middle of the night. Suddenly there was a movement in the room, and she asked the maid in the night watch in a daze. The maid knelt down and reported in a low voice but anxiously: "I'm going back to the Crown Princess. She came from somewhere for a rush of eight hundred miles. It is said that your Majesty is also there." He has stood up, and now His Royal Highness is going to Funing Palace to discuss matters!"
Later, the number of times increased, and the maid who kept watch at night was too lazy to explain the cause and effect in detail. She only said: "Back to the Queen, His Royal Highness went to Funing Palace again!"
A few more times, Qiu Yilan asked herself: "Going to Funing Palace?"
Palace Maid: "Yes!"
Although this situation happened so frequently that it happened almost once every night, Qiu Yilan couldn't fall asleep every time she was woken up: "What kind of natural or man-made disaster happened again? Is it important or not? Can Nineteen and my father-in-law handle it?" Who will be sent this time?”
… The price of standing high is that you also fall hard. She couldn't help but worry!
After two or three years, Qiu Yilan can hardly remember the last time she slept well? I just feel that I am always very nervous.
So much so that when the palace maid reminded her one day that she should prepare to move into a room with Jiang Yashuang, she didn't even react.
"Your Majesty, Queen Minrou has fulfilled her filial piety. Aren't you going to live with His Highness the Crown Prince?" the palace maid asked in astonishment.
Qiu Yilan was shocked to realize that she had already performed filial piety without knowing it.
I don't know if the filial piety and obedience also eliminated all the bad luck in the Qin Dynasty. After surviving the spring and summer of the third year of Jianjia, everything went smoothly from the middle of the third year of Jianjia, and the vitality that had been lost before was gradually restored.
Qiu Yilan also found out that she was pregnant with her fifth child at the end of the third year of Jianjia.
Already having three sons and one daughter, the couple hoped to add another daughter so that they could keep Jiang Huiying company. However, they brought their children and nieces and nephews who were close to Dong Gong to give birth to this girl who had not yet landed and whose gender was unknown. When the child was deciding on a name, Emperor Jianjia summoned Qiu Yilan to Funing Palace alone and asked her kindly about her pregnancy and daily affairs in the East Palace.
After the greetings were finished, he put on a considerate attitude and suggested to his daughter-in-law: "I see that it has not been easy for you to support Shuang'er's backyard alone over the years, especially in addition to your own children, you have also taken care of almost all the legitimate children of King Hui and King Jing. of… "
Well, even if Qiu Yilan had never had a long conversation with her father-in-law, and she didn’t know that her father-in-law liked the hints of twists and turns, but after hearing this, she understood that her father-in-law was acting on behalf of her mother-in-law... No, it was the authority of an ordinary mother-in-law to signal her. I’ve given it to Jiang Yashuang!
The feeling of vomiting blood in Qiu Yilan's heart is simply indescribable - my mother-in-law and your wife wouldn't have done this when they were here, okay? ! Sure enough, she was right to hate this father-in-law!
Although she didn't know that Emperor Jianjia's intervention in the backyard of his son and daughter-in-law was purely from a political perspective, even if Qiu Yilan knew it, she would not understand that it was not easy for her father-in-law to establish the Qin Dynasty and that he would inevitably attach great importance to the country. So she suppressed her anger and said with a smile: "My father is so complimentary, but my daughter-in-law is ashamed to deserve it! In fact, these are what a daughter-in-law should do, how dare you ask for a reward from your father?"
"..." Emperor Jianjia was silent for a moment, seeing that his daughter-in-law understood his hint and was no longer willing to obey like his careless prince. If he said that his daughter-in-law was someone else's daughter, he would still punish her. I really don’t feel bad. But let’s not say that this daughter-in-law is still pregnant. Let’s just say that she has coaxed her son so well. If she really handles it, his son will definitely not obey, and it will be a trouble!
But it is impossible to say that Emperor Jianjia just let this daughter-in-law live because of these reasons.
So he didn't bother to explain that he called his wife here not to praise and reward her, but to persuade her to be generous and pamper her, so that he, as a father-in-law, would not worry that her pampering would bring instability to Daqin in the future - to put it bluntly : "The situation in the DPRK requires that the Nineteenth House must accept two official daughters so as to win over their father and brother! Of course, no matter what the origins of these two women are, you are the wife of the Nineteenth House, and they will never go past you!" You also know how difficult it has been to support the government in the past two years. You can't help with big things. Just take care of such small things for him and use the phoenix seal to seal the appointment documents tomorrow!"
Emperor Jianjia's words were actually very hurtful - given his identity and the family tradition of the Jiang family where the male is the dominant figure and the female is the dominant one but not interfering with each other, who has ever cared about this kind of thing
I really feel that the East Palace has always been a princess, and her relationship with the prince is good enough and her status is stable enough. Now that she is pregnant with another child, if she continues to let things go like this, it will be difficult for the Qiu family to develop in the future!
It happened that he also had true feelings for Queen Minrou. His first wife passed away so unexpectedly. Even though Emperor Jianjia let Jiang Jingheng die suddenly, he still can't let go of her. Therefore, courtiers asked him several times to enrich the harem, but he refused on the grounds that he was busy with state affairs.
Besides, even if you accept someone, your status is not noble enough, and you are not qualified to persuade the princess to accept someone for the prince, right? If the status is elevated, it may cause trouble for the East Palace in the future!
The stepmother above, Queen Tao, is dead, and she has no one in her harem. Her aunt, Princess Ji, is still alive, but she is too lazy to meddle in this business. Princess Ji doesn't care about it. Princess Ji, Princess Shou and other people who have long learned about Qiu Yilan's temper are... Even more reluctant to get involved!
Even Princess Fuqing, his own daughter, rejected Emperor Jianjia - the miserable emperor didn't mention it and was unwilling to do so. What else could he do if he didn't go to battle in person? !
"Father, what you said is that when the past two years were so difficult, you never did anything like this. Why is it necessary now that the situation has improved?" However, Qiu Yilan completely ignored these difficulties faced by Emperor Jianjia. She gritted her teeth and said, "What's more, it is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he still needs the prince to sacrifice his beauty to win over him. From the wife's point of view, such a person has bad intentions, and it is better to deal with him as soon as possible! "
"How presumptuous! Are you, a woman, allowed to discuss government affairs?!" Emperor Jianjia was usually polite to his daughter-in-law, but his patience when talking back was not good for his son, so he immediately took action, "I won't tell you more, anyway, this is Two women, you have to accept it if you want to, and if you don’t want to accept it, if you don’t want to submit it, then hand over Feng Yin!”
Seeing his tough attitude, Qiu Yilan burst into tears without saying a word: "Mother! You have a spirit in heaven, have you seen it?! Your teachings back then are still in my ears, but now my father wants my daughter-in-law to go against your wishes! Father! The life of the mother is the life of the elders. Even though the father is more important than the mother, the daughter-in-law is deeply favored by the mother. I remember how much you loved the daughter-in-law when the mother was alive... How can my daughter-in-law bear to let you pass the filial piety period now? I will be the best thing in your life. The things I hate...wuwuwu..."
Emperor Jianjia was so angry that he was so angry that he held a tea bowl in his hand and glared at his daughter-in-law who was shouting at Queen Minrou who was crying and screaming. He couldn't hit it anymore. After a while, he kicked several cases and ordered with gritted teeth. : "Tell her to back off! Hurry!"
He now feels how Emperor Zhaode felt when he was facing his fourth daughter-in-law!
Sure enough, it’s not that I didn’t report, the time to report has not come yet!
While Emperor Jianjia was angry, he also thought, if this was the case, would Da Qin's Dingding pass through and be retaliated against? So the Qiu family has to be on guard!
He was still worried about the future of Great Qin - after Qiu Yilan was sent back to the East Palace, he unceremoniously took Jiang Yashuang and cried and complained to her father-in-law!
Then Emperor Jianjia calmed down with the comfort of the palace people, and the prince came over to complain: "Father, you are so good, why do you want to accept people or not? Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, and you are not I don’t know, I don’t feel very well when I go back to the East Palace today. Now I have called the imperial doctor to see him, and he said that I need to rest for a few days. Originally, I said it was fine. After the New Year’s Eve banquet in two days, I will try my best to find a good county horse for Shou’an. ! Where is the strength now?”
Emperor Jianjia said angrily: "What do you mean?! My father-in-law is not as important as your wife, right?!"
"It is a matter of the backyard whether to accept people or not. Not to mention that my mother hated this the most during her lifetime, your daughter-in-law also remembered her mother's teachings and did not agree." Jiang Yashuang did not feel sorry for him at all, but felt that he It's just nonsense, "Just say that the elders outside want to ask questions, but that's for the same woman to say - not to mention that Father, you are still the Supreme Being of the Ninth Five-Year Plan!"
As a dignified emperor, Emperor Jianjia didn't feel ashamed when he personally went into battle to force his daughter-in-law to provide for his son. Even Jiang Yashuang blushed for him! Is this what an emperor should do? ! This is simply ridiculous!
"You unfilial son!!!" Emperor Jianjia finally broke out. He rolled up his sleeves and snatched the servant's fly whisk, then came up to whip his son. He yelled without the emperor's demeanor, "Who are you worrying about?! Who told you not to do this? If you don't obey me, who else can I look for? How can I save my face? You think I don't care about this kind of thing! I feel sorry for you because you can't bear to push me too hard. What else can you do if you don't do it yourself
"You don't want to think about how difficult it is for me to establish the Great Qin. It's better for you! You don't care here and there... If you accidentally follow in the footsteps of your predecessors, I'll see how you go underground to see me!!!"
