Yan Wushuang proclaimed himself emperor and changed his country's name to Yan and his reign as Jingxi. Yan Wushuang's first imperial decree was to chase after a woman named Bai Xu as queen.
Master Shang Shuxia of the Ministry of Rites looked at this imperial decree with a bitter face. The queen named after the title had only one name, and there was nothing in her life, so he didn't know how to handle it anymore.
Since Yuchen had guessed this result a long time ago, he was not surprised. But Mrs. Xiang didn't know that Yan Wushuang's attitude towards her had improved a lot since she and her son returned to the palace, which made her cry again. Therefore, this time Yan Wushuang ascended the throne, and she had the idea of becoming a queen in her heart, but in the end she sealed a woman who had never heard her name as her queen.
Since Yuchen was the steward, Mother Gui took the opportunity to secretly place some people in each yard. Although the women in the backyard are very vigilant, these people can't get close, but some external news can still be obtained.
Madam Gui said to Yuxi: "Manny, Mrs. Xiang smashed everything in the house again." Mrs. Xiang not only likes to hit people, but also likes to smash things. I don’t know how many times I have changed the furnishings in the room.
Yuchen said indifferently: "There are regulations for everything she uses, so she can make up for it by herself." If something broke before, it was reported directly, and it would be replaced with a new one soon. But after Yuchen took charge of general affairs, he stipulated that, except for certain exceptions, other damaged things had to be paid out of private houses.
Grandma Gui said: "Last time there was a disturbance, I wonder if it will happen again this time?"
Yu Chen shook his head and said: "Xiang is not stupid, she won't make trouble at this time." Yan Wushuang has already canonized queens, and will soon canonize them. At this time, if Xiang Clan gets into trouble, making Yan Wushuang unhappy will affect her position.
Grandma Gui said: "I don't know what position the emperor will give to the empress?" She hopes to be able to enshrine Yuchen as an imperial concubine, which is second only to the queen.
Yuchen said: "It's probably a noble concubine." Judging from Achi and Abao's sake, her status is certainly not low.
As Yuchen expected, the imperial decree was issued the next day, and Yan Wushuang canonized her as a noble concubine. And Mrs. Xiang didn't even get the Fourth Concubine, only Zhaoyi who was canonized as the third grade. The other positions that gave birth to offspring were not super-Xiang clan, and those who did not have children were all under the fourth grade.
Yuchen was a little surprised at this result, but Grandma Gui was very happy, so that no one in the harem would threaten Yuchen's status.
The ceremony of Yan Wushuang's ascension to the throne was simple, and the canonization of Yuchen and Mrs. Xiang naturally went through the scene. Yuchen didn't care, but Mrs. Xiang had broken her silver teeth.
That night, the black widow sat in a chair bored and said to the cheetah: "It's almost moldy."
Cheetah said: "The princess must not act rashly. You can't disobey your orders. Otherwise, we will have nothing to eat if the princess is annoyed." Yan Wushuang has always wanted to catch him, so the black widow is in charge of outside affairs during this time. . Of course, the cheetah knew about the things that inspired Zhou Yan to the Zen position.
The black widow said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of measure." At this point, the black widow couldn't help but gossiping: "I heard that the prince and the princess are mixing oil with the princess after he became ill, so he looks like a person. "
Cheetah said with a black face: "The master's matter, don't be arrogant." Cheetah is a more serious person. Although he is responsible for the intelligence work in the capital, he himself does not like to talk about such gossip.
The black widow smiled and said: "I didn't make any mistakes. The better the relationship between the prince and the princess is, there will be no worries." She had heard that Yuxi had a quarrel with Yun Qing before, and she was too worried.
Cheetah agreed with Black Widow’s words, but he still felt that it was inappropriate to talk about Yun Qing and Yuxi, so he changed the subject: "Only Zhou Yan knows the secret road of the palace. I want him to hand over the map of the secret road. I can only agree to his terms.” Zhou Yan’s terms were to help him escape from the capital, and he was under house arrest for ten years. Zhou Yan really wanted freedom.
When talking about business matters, the black widow's attitude changed: "If this secret path is used well, you can kill Yan Wushuang."
Falcon shook his head and said, "It's not that easy? Yan Wushuang's guards around him are like clouds, and the guards are guarding outside the door at night. Trying to assassinate him is as difficult as climbing."
The black widow said nonchalantly: "Even if you can't assassinate Yan Wushuang, you must get a map. After the prince lays down the capital, he must take the princess and the son to live in the palace. If this secret path is not controlled by us, it is. There is a problem."
The cheetah nodded and said: "This matter depends on the prince and the princess!"
The black widow gave a hum and said, "Let’s drag Zhou Yan first, let him be as anxious as possible." They are not in a hurry. It is Zhou Yan who is anxious, maybe there will be unexpected surprises after such a delay. !
Cheetah nodded and said, "Okay."
The fact that Yuchen was canonized as a noble concubine soon spread to Gaocheng. Yuxi didn't feel this, but the grandmother said with emotion: "Qingcheng's appearance is not necessarily a blessing."
Lying in the tub, Yuxi closed her eyes and said, "Mother, think about the fate of Emperor Taichang's other concubines, and then look at the third sister." Without the appearance of this allure, Yuchen would have died long ago. Can enjoy the glory and wealth again.
After a pause, Yuxi said, "The third sister has sons and daughters, and is now canonized as a noble concubine. As long as she cherishes her good fortune, she will live well."
Mother Quan sighed, and said, "If everyone knows this truth, it will be fine."
Yuxi felt that there was something in the words, and asked: "What's wrong? Who has a moth in the family?" Except for her and Yun Qing, even a few children respect the grandmother. As for the backyard Not to mention his maid. So, the only thing that can bother Grandma is the whole family.
Mother Quan did not hide from Yuxi, and said: "Xu's family is going to leave with Zhengyu. My niece and daughter-in-law can't beg me, let me persuade."
Such a thing can no longer cause Yuxi to make waves. It’s also because of the face of the grandmother that Yuxi will ask two more questions: "Why does the Xu family want to reconcile?" There are sons and daughters, and no one is willing to reconcile. Will think about and leave. What's more, the Xu family's family is still in ruin. If it weren't for being forced to do nothing, she would definitely not reconcile.
Mother Quan smiled bitterly: "The Xue family was vicious and slandered the child she gave birth to. Zhengyu beat her to death half-dead in anger. The Xu family was furious and asked for peace." Xu Shisheng I have two sons, and Brother Xie is the eldest.
Quan Zhengyu thought that he was dragged down by Master Xu to lose office, so he was extremely indifferent to the Xu family, and he was not happy with the two children of Xu family. Xu's family is not stupid either. Seeing that Quan Zhengyu can't rely on it, he tightly pinches the dowry in his hand to prevent him from getting tainted.
Although Yuxi gave Quan Zhengyu a light sentence, all the ill-gotten gains were confiscated. As for Xu's dowry and Quan Zhengyu's original property were not moved, Quan Zhengyu himself did not accumulate any money. Therefore, after the dismissal, the husband and wife's relationship became worse due to financial matters. But for the sake of the two children, the Xu family endured it again and again. This time Brother Xu was beaten up by the Xu family anymore, so he asked for reconciliation.
Yuxi didn’t ask for the details, but said: “Since the Xu family insists on reconciliation, you can’t stop it.” Since Yuxi has maintained the interests of women since he took power, the status of women in this place in the northwest is higher than before. few. At least the woman will hand over the pleadings to the government for reconciliation, and the government will deal with it fairly.
Mother Quan said with a wry smile: "Heli can't be stopped, but Xu is going to leave with two children."
With Yuxi's position, she naturally has no scruples when she speaks: "Instead, I will take the child away. If I stay in Xu's house, I am afraid that the child will die within two years."
Mother Quan said, "It was Brother Kuan who followed Xu's surname, and she took it away. It is nothing wrong with her taking away. But Brother Lu is Quan, if Xu is taken away, how can the whole family be able to raise their heads in the local area?" Mother Quan was thinking Intervene in this matter, otherwise she would not mention this matter to Yuxi.
Yuxi laughed, and said, "Mother, just say anything!"
Mother Quan said: "As the princess said, let Brother Xie stay in the whole family, I'm afraid that he will be killed by the poisonous woman within two years. But let the Xu family take Brother Xie away and the whole family's face will disappear. Concubine, I want Brother Dao to serve as a servant in the mansion, don’t know if it’s okay?” Mother Quan didn’t want her natal grand-nephew to be a servant in the mansion before, because she didn’t want them to be slaves. But today is not what it used to be. When Yun Qing calms down the world, even a slave is a royal slave. Furthermore, if Brother Feng can be employed as a errand under the elder son or any other young master in the future, his future will not be bad.
Who is Yuxi, you know the grandmother’s plan as soon as you hear it: "A Hao and Rui brothers are getting older, and they will have to buy people around them in a year or a half. If there are suitable candidates for the whole family, you can Bring them into the house together." Those who buy outside are not as good as those who know the basics. Of course, people can enter the mansion, but whether they can be with Brother Hao and Brother Rui, it depends on whether Fu meets the conditions. If it's an elm bump, it certainly won't work.
Mother Quan hesitated and shook her head and said, "No one else is suitable." Brother Tao is literate and smart, and there is a high probability that he will have a good future after entering the house. The other children are not clever, it is not easy to find a good future. In addition to this, it is better to live a simple life in the country at sunrise.
Grandma has gone through too many winds and rains, so I want to live a simple life. But her grand-nephew hadn't experienced anything, so he naturally felt that even being a handyman in the palace was better than farming in the countryside. Of course, it’s not that Grandma doesn’t know what her grand-nephews think, but she doesn’t want to work any more.
When Yuxi saw this, he didn't say anything anymore.
That night, Yun Qing also talked to Yuxi about the capital, saying: "Yuxi, Yan Wushuang canonized Han Yuchen as a noble concubine but did not canonize Yan Hengli as a prince. What kind of abacus is he playing?" Yan Hengli , Is the name of Achi.
Yuxi didn't think much about it, but said: "Among Yan Wushuang's seven sons, Yan Hengli is the most outstanding. So this prince is none other than him." As for Yan Wushuang's plan, Yuxi did. No time wasting thinking. Because it doesn't matter to them.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "My Ahao is much better than Yan Hengli." When he said this, he showed a sense of pride and pride.
When Yuxi heard this, he said, "A Hao has good aptitude and a high level of understanding, but there are heaven and humans outside the sky. Therefore, this is what I said before me, but I can't express it in front of A Hao. I'm afraid the child will hear too much. arrogant."
Yun Qing didn't like to listen to these words: "You are too harsh on A Hao." Yun Qing thinks that Brother Hao is good everywhere, and no one can compare it.
Yuxi glared at Yun Qing and said, "Although Ah Hao looks calm, he is still young and has little experience. If you keep holding him, you are harming him." Yun said after he recovered from his illness. Qing was a little spoiled with a few children, let alone beating, he didn't scold him much.
Every time I saw Yun Qing's attitude towards several children, Yuxi was a little fortunate that she had not given birth. Otherwise, if you are born again, Yun Qing will definitely be able to raise a dude or a charming girl. As for the few Rui brothers, because they don't spend much time with Yun Qing when they are old, they have little effect.
Yun Qing was most afraid that Yuxi would be angry, so he hurriedly told Rao when he saw the case, "Yes, I said the wrong thing. A Hao is our eldest son. He will carry a heavy burden in the future, so he has to be strict."
Yuxi snorted coldly: "I'm too lazy to tell you."
Yun Qing coaxed Yuxi for a long time. Seeing that Yuxi's expression eased a lot, he said one thing: "Brother Rui and they are also seven years old, shouldn't it be time for them to read with them."
Yuxi said: "Why do you think of picking up brother Rui to read with them?"
Yun Qing said: "When A Hao was seven years old, we selected him as a companion. We naturally treat several children equally."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I want to choose a companion for Ah Hao. First, I want him to have a few playmates, and second, I want to pave the way for him in the future." At this point, Yuxi paused deliberately and said, "Brother Rui They are in a different situation from Ah Hao. Their three brothers are together again, and they don’t need any playmates. If you choose to read for them, they wouldn’t be happy!"
Yun Qing felt that he could not favor one another, so he thought about it and said, "Then I will ask them their opinions tomorrow. If they want to accompany them, we will give them a choice. If not, let this matter go for the time being."
Knowing the son is more than the mother, Yuxi expected it to be correct. As soon as Brother You heard Yun Qing's words, he said, "I have second and third brothers, what do you want to accompany you?" He didn't want to insert a few strangers in.
Yun Qing asked Brother Rui and Brother Xuan, "What about your opinion?" If the three brothers are unwilling, then don't force it.
Brother Rui does not reject the issue of companion reading, but Brother You objected to him naturally to support his brother: "Father, no need."
Brother Xuan thought about Yin Zhaofeng, the guard next to Zaozao, he hesitated and said, "Father, I don't need a companion, but I want a guard with strong martial arts." He is not very good at martial arts, so he is not afraid to go out if he has a powerful guard by his side. Up.
Yun Qing was a little surprised, but still smiled and said, "The guards will definitely equip you, but you are still young. This matter will take a few years." Now the triplets are in the palace, and it is a waste to equip them with guards separately. resource.
Brother Xuan was a little disappointed.
Brother Rui patted Brother Xuan's shoulder heavily and said, "A Xuan, it's better to ask for yourself." His martial arts are strong enough to protect himself, and what kind of guards he needs.
Brother Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, you can be gentle."
Brother You said: "We must practice martial arts well, but the guards are also indispensable. Dad, can we pick the personal guards by then?"
It is a good thing that a few children have a sense of precaution. Yun Qing smiled and said, "Naturally."
ps: My daughter next door will have a drink tomorrow. Many people work in his house. An old woman in the village complained to everyone about how the two stepsons were not filial. o(╯□╰)o, why didn’t she say that she drove out the two children and did not give people food to spend the night outside in the twelfth lunar month...
