Mrs. Zuo Xiang was not mistaken, the woman who drove into the palace in a carriage was her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao Yizhi.

She was originally staying in Sichuan with her husband Cui Hu, and Cui Hu was busy giving advice to Zhang Jinzhong, training soldiers, and selecting available materials. She waited for her second child to be born, but she did not want to be infected with cholera at seven months of pregnancy.

Yizhi suffered this heavy blow, and several gynecological diseases fell during the confinement, which could not be cured. Cui Hu heard that Qin Fei invited more than a dozen gynecological saints from Yunnan, Guizhou and other places for Queen Zhou, so he also sent his wife to Dali, Yunnan, firstly, to let those famous doctors give his wife a good consultation, and secondly, to let her change the environment and leave the sad place where she lost her child.

Qin Fei was worried that he had to deal with state affairs and couldn't stay by Cai Wei's side all the time, knowing that Cai Wei had a very good relationship with her cousin when she was not married, so he naturally agreed.

When Yizhi took her son into Kunning Palace, she saw Cai Wei leaning on a beauty couch, and a beautiful girl in a blue shirt stood next to her.

Yizhi was thinking about where she had seen this girl, and the girl had already bowed to her Yingying, and said with a choked voice: "Sister Zhi, long time no see!" I can't imagine that after saying goodbye in Bofu back then, our sisters will have a day to get together again! ”

Her "Sister Zhi" made Yizhi remember who she was, and she was also her cousin, but it was Wu Juan, the concubine brought into the Bofu by her second aunt Zhao Mingxiang. It's just that why is she here?

In fact, Qin Fei originally planned to invite Cai Wei's old best friends in Meizhou or her friend Ma Li from Sealand to accompany her, but Cai Wei knew that they were all busy with their own things, Ma Li was busy holding a girls' school in Quanzhou, and several of her former best friends were busy opening a righteous house to take in those women who had lost their relatives and were homeless in the war, so Qin Fei was not allowed to invite them to delay their good deeds for her alone.

"You just have to go and take care of your state affairs, I don't need you to stay by my side at all times, nor do I need them to accompany me, it's enough to have our family Zhu'er and Mama Guo to accompany me."

Although Cai Wei said this, Qin Fei still found her an old sister to be her companion, but this Wu Juan was not invited by him, but Sister Wei who she took the initiative to invite Ying to accompany her.

After the old lady of Anyuan Bofu passed away that day, the eldest lord divided the rest of the rooms, and Zhao Mingxiang naturally couldn't live in Bofu, so he rented a small mansion in the capital and lived a difficult life with a son and a daughter. Later, her son Wu Chong was recommended to Qin Fei by Cai Wei and helped the couple to start a maritime business, and the family's life improved.

It's a pity that it's not a few days old, because the thieves entered the capital and began to flee to the south again. Zhao Mingxiang and Wu Juan were lucky, they were sent by Wu Chong to send them all the way to Guangdong, and they were hiding in the rear. When her own daughter Wu Wan fled from the Yangtze River by boat with her husband's family, the boat hit a reef, and dozens of people from her husband's family were all buried at the bottom of the river.

After Zhao Mingxiang got the letter, because of the death of her sad daughter, she couldn't afford to be sick, and she went not long after, leaving only Wu Juan alone, and after keeping her mother's filial piety, she begged her brother Wu Chong to send her to Sister Wei to accompany and serve her, and when the time came, she would also beg Sister Wei to make a lifelong decision for her.

Even if she asked for it at the right time, Qin Fei was worried that no one would accompany Cai Wei to talk to relieve his boredom, and after asking Cai Wei, he agreed to Wu Chong's invitation, and also took her to Dali, and she only arrived one day earlier than Yizhi.

The sisters of the past reunited, and it was naturally an endless parting and an endless farewell. It's a pity that the sisters haven't said a few words, Emperor Yuanjia went down to the palace to return to the palace, he hasn't been to live in his own Qianyuan Palace for a day, from the first day he lived in this palace, he regarded the queen's Kunning Palace as his own dormitory, so that many palace people secretly laughed and said that this Kunning Palace should be changed to Qiankun Palace to be appropriate.

As soon as they heard that His Majesty the Emperor was about to come, Yizhi and Wu Juan hurriedly retired and were led by the palace people to a palace specially arranged for them. Before they entered the palace, they had been hinted at countless times by Emperor Yuanjia, although they were invited to accompany the queen, but when he was in Kunning Palace, they could go back to their own rooms to rest, because there was nothing to do with them.

The two of them found out after living in the palace for a few days, saying that they were afraid that the queen would be lonely and bored lying on the sickbed alone, so they specially invited them to accompany them, but in fact, in a day, they could stay by the queen's side for less than two hours. That is, Emperor Yuan Jia's time in the morning to go to court, they can stay with Cai Wei for a while, and when Emperor Yuan Jia goes to court, from noon to night, they will not be invited to the queen mother.

Cai Wei also complained to Qin Fei about this half-truth, but the result was that she was hugged by someone and kissed fiercely for a quarter of an hour, "I can't wait to spend a few hours in the morning with you?" It's just hateful that I can't get out of my body right now, and there are a lot of things waiting for me to take care of, even if it's not idle. "Every day after the next court, he would bring back a bunch of secret letters to read one by one.

Cai Wei said with a smile: "That is, in the future, the rivers and mountains will be recovered, and the world will be peaceful, won't you, the emperor, have you not been able to go to court?" It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep it! ”

Qin Fei grabbed her hand and kissed her and said, "Then I won't bring you to the court, wouldn't it be good for you to accompany me to the court?" ”

"Ah Fei, do you have to think twice, do you really want to risk the world's condemnation for me?" Cai Wei joked.

"What's this? If you are well now, I will bring you to the court tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I can write down what your majesty said, Imperial Doctor Yao said that by the time I reach March, my body will be almost nourished, and you won't talk at that time." Cai Wei didn't mind going to the court with Qin Fei to listen to the government at all, if this move was really going to come true, it would be talked about by those courtiers. If she also has the wisdom to go into politics, why put her natural talent to the next place?

What's more, if you want to change the status of women in the world, how can you not participate in court politics? Expecting men who make all kinds of laws and regulations to save women is no different from a tiger's skin, and aren't the laws that bind women today all men racking their brains to suppress women?

"You have no jokes!" Qin Fei said solemnly. "I wish you were in good health tomorrow!"

In fact, in just three months, surrounded by a bunch of imperial doctors, coupled with Qin Fei's meticulous care, Cai Wei's body has already improved a lot, and there is a faint pink on her face that was not at all bloody, and she no longer has to lie in bed all day, but the lost qi and blood have not been fully replenished, and she still has to recuperate for some more time.

"However, it will be the New Year in a few days, I can stop the court for half a month, and wait for the fifteenth day to go to the court, just to accompany you and Zhu'er."

Seeing him smiling heartily, Cai Wei knew that he had almost beaten the courtiers. "It seems that everything went well in the previous dynasty?"

"Well, Cui Xiang's old thing refused to abolish the old tax law when Emperor Lin De was in the past, and insisted on continuing to increase agricultural taxes, and still did not take a penny from commercial taxes and mining taxes. But now, due to years of war, most of the fields are barren, and it is time to reduce taxes to benefit the people to cultivate, and then levy all kinds of heavy taxes on farmers as before, which will do all kinds of harm to the country and the people. ”

"Still, he hasn't fought you!" Cui Xiang has been in charge of the government for many years, although he is an old fox, but Qin Fei also has his own ruthless tricks to deal with such an old fox.

"Well, I finally forced him to agree to my new tax law. As a result, this old man has been hiding at home for the past few days, pretending to be sick and not coming to the court. ”

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan Jia, who was waiting for the "compassionate" courtiers, sent a imperial doctor in the palace to see Cui Zuoxiang, and the news brought back was that Cui Xiang was really seriously ill and had a sudden stroke, and he might not even survive this New Year.

When Qin Fei heard this, he hesitated slightly, but still sent a letter to Cui Hu. Although Cui Hu hated his stepmother very much, he still had a bit of father-son affection for his father, and would ask him how Cui Xiang was doing in letters from time to time. So he not only sued Cui for his father's illness, but even allowed him to come to Dali for a few days during the Chinese New Year. If Cui Xiang really doesn't live for a few days, he can also let their father and son see each other for the last time.

This New Year in the first year of Yuanjia is a New Year full of hope for the people of Great Qin. In this year, the god of war they supported, King Linchuan, finally ascended the throne, ended all kinds of infighting in the royal family before, repelled the attacks of the Tartars several times militarily, and implemented new policies such as tax reduction in state affairs, so that the people of Li living in this land finally saw the dawn.

They earnestly hoped that from this year onwards, their new emperor would lead them to drive out the Tartars, recover the rivers and mountains, and create a new era of peace and prosperity.

On the first day of the first month of the first year of Yuanjia, everyone in the Dali Palace was smiling, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere. However, at this time, these laughing people did not know that the footsteps of the Grim Reaper were getting closer and closer to some life in this house.
