As expected, in the afternoon, Yunxiu went to find the person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get her things.
The man retorted according to what Ye Jun told him to do.
Yun Xiu cursed loudly, but there was nothing she could do. Even if the other party didn't give it to her, they had to follow the rules.
After returning, Yi Zhaoyuan was so angry that she fell backwards.
Fortunately, I brought tea sets and some small ornaments when I came from the palace, otherwise Shaoyaoju would have been very shabby.
But I won’t dare to smash things anymore from now on. If I break them again, I won’t even be able to complete a set of tea cups.
This is a story for later and there is no need to elaborate on it. Back to the present, Nan Zhi went out, and Ye Jun got up and walked around the room.
Huiyue supported her and suddenly said, "After the birth of this baby, Your Majesty will at least be a concubine. I guess you will start to take care of the affairs of the six palaces."
"The emperor has wanted me to take charge since early on. Now that I'm in this position, I can't hide anymore." Ye Jun sighed.
It’s true that I don’t want to worry, but it’s also true that I can’t help but worry.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Your Majesty, you have to think about the young masters." Huiyue said in a gentle voice.
Speaking of children, Ye Jun remembered something.
"I've been so busy with things like leaving the palace and coming to the garden these days that I almost forgot about the letter my mother sent me. Take a look at it. Mother has picked out two good marriages for you and Nan Zhi. See if you are satisfied with them."
Huiyue blushed, "Your Majesty is pregnant, it's not the time for me to think about this."
"After my baby is born, you two will have to get married. If you delay any longer, you will become old maids. Are there still people who are not married at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five? Go and get it." Ye Jun smiled and poked Huiyue's forehead with his hand.
Huiyue had no choice but to go and get the letter embarrassedly.
Different families were chosen here according to the different personalities of her and Nan Zhi.
The two chosen for Huiyue, one was three years older than Huiyue and worked in the Kyoto defense camp. He had married a wife before, but the woman had a miscarriage after marriage and fell seriously ill. She passed away within a year or two.
The man was a kind-hearted man and waited for three years for his deceased wife who had not given him any children.
Now his deceased wife's family has gone to other places to do business with his son and they have lost contact, so he is talking about marriage again.
He was a very good person. There was only a father and a married sister in his family. He received a salary from the court, so his life was stable.
There was another one who was the same age as Huiyue. This man came from a farming and scholar family. His family was not wealthy, but they had some land and shops, which supported the man's studies.
It's a pity that this person lacks talent and knowledge. Now he is 25 years old and has not achieved anything good in the exam. So he is preparing to get married and start a family.
This person is the eldest son in the family. He has a younger brother and two younger sisters. His parents are still alive and his family is harmonious.
"If you think any of them are good, or if you think none of them are good enough, I'll ask mother to pick a new one for you." Ye Jun said.
Only then did Huiyue say with red eyes, "Thank you, Madam, thank you, Madam. I thought that at this age, I could only be someone's concubine..."
Who would have thought that the one chosen by the lady at home would be someone's principal wife, no matter whether she was good or bad.
In this age when people get married in their teens, no one wants to marry a girl who is twenty-four or twenty-five. The fact that she was able to find these things shows that the lady has put a lot of thought into it.
"Nonsense, you are a good girl, pretty, hardworking and capable, why would you want to be someone else's concubine? It is a blessing for men like them to marry you." Ye Jun glared at her.
He took Huiyue's hand and patted it, "Don't worry, Nanzhi is back, you can choose together, and come to me when you have decided. I have prepared all your dowries, and you can still come to the palace to serve me after you get married."
Huiyue nodded with tears in her eyes, feeling very moved.
In the entire harem, the servants in Zhao Chunxuan are the ones who are most well treated by their master.
At that time, in Shaoyaoju, Qian Shunrong was also reading the letter from home, but he looked depressed.
Along with the letter came a box of pills.
This is a medicine for nourishing the body that the Duke of England obtained from a folk doctor. It is also beneficial for women to conceive.
The letter bluntly stated that now that the emperor had some affection for her and she could see him several times, the important thing was to hurry up and get pregnant.
"After urging me for so long, now I'm giving out these things. I see this belly is not mine, but the Chen family's belly." Qian Shunrong said self-deprecatingly.
"Shunrong, don't think like that. The master and the lady are doing this for your own good. Having a child will always give you someone to rely on." The maid Qiao Yu advised gently.
He continued, "Madam said that the eldest son has been very hardworking recently and rarely goes out to drink. He occasionally talks to the Duke about state affairs, and his opinions are quite reasonable. Unfortunately, the eldest son was deprived of his qualification to inherit the title by the Emperor's decree. Now Aunt Su and the second son are eyeing him covetously. Only if you can stand firm in the palace and have a say, the youngest son can rely on you as his aunt and inherit the title."
Chun Yu also advised, "If the title is given to the second young master, how will the lady live? How will the eldest young master's family live? If you don't have the support of your mother's family in the palace, how will you live?"
Qian Shunrong felt bitter after hearing these words, but what else could he do
Most of the women from aristocratic families have no choice.
"Forget it, I'll just take the medicine. Don't try to persuade me anymore." Qian Shunrong finally lowered his head.
In fact, looking at the current situation of her aunt as the Queen Mother, she really doesn't want to climb up at all, but there is no way, her family forces her to climb up.
On the other side, in Jingqian Palace, Ning Chen was reading a memorial.
Someone came back and told him that Qian Shunrong had received the things.
"I understand. Let's go to Shaoyaoju today. We can't waste the supplements that my uncle found." Ning Chen's eyes were cold and hard.
In fact, what Qian Shunrong got in his hand was no longer a pill for health care.
After passing it through Ning Chen's hands, it would not be bad for the body if consumed, but the effect would change.
He just wanted to promote Qian Shunrong and make the Chen family fight among themselves for the title.
The illegitimate second son and the legitimate grandson are fighting each other. I wonder how the Duke of England will end up.
Now Li, who is lurking beside Chen Xianwen, has successfully instigated Chen Xianwen's ambition.
Even though he himself could not inherit the title, it did not necessarily mean that his son could not. If his own son inherited the title, he would certainly have a good life, which would be much better than living under the rule of his half-brother.
Today, the British Mansion is in chaos from the inside out, and all it needs to do is wait for an opportunity to successfully explode.
So that night, Qian Shunrong slept with him.
This was the first person to come to the garden to serve the emperor. Although the emperor was in Hibiscus Palace the first night, Ye Jun was pregnant and was just accompanying him.
When Ye Jun heard that Ning Chen went to Shaoyaoju, she was not moved at all.
After all, she knew everything that was going on inside.
But she has more important things to do here.
The maids who delivered her baby will come to the garden tomorrow, and she needs to meet them one by one in person.
