Nowadays, there is no rule that pregnancy is less than three months old, the news that the crown princess is pregnant is like a wildfire, which alarmed the palace up and down, the queen mother rushed out of Cining Palace for the first time, and went straight to Mingde Palace, Yuan Yi just helped Gu Qi out of the small study, and her old man strode in happily, "Don't fix these vain, sit down obediently, grandmother does not lack this gift from you!" ”

"Grandmother!" Gu Ci happily took the Queen Mother's hand.

"Is there any discomfort? Why are these eyes red? Who you off? The last sentence glared at Yuan Yi and said.

"No, no, I cried with joy."

"Silly girl, don't be in a hurry about this, whoever dares to annoy you will be handed over to grandmother."

Then he domineeringly blasted his father-to-be out to listen to Xiao Lu's reciting precautions, and hugged his little granddaughter, who was still a boyish, to talk privately. Before I could say a few words, I heard that the emperor himself came!

Now everyone had to wait in the Mingde Palace, and even Gui Debo, who had been forgotten in the corner, put down his wine glass and ran over.

The emperor didn't look at others, and waved his hand to let Gu Ci salute, "Okay, I just came here because I was afraid that you would be tired from going to the Qianqing Palace." As he walked inside, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" What do you want to eat? Are you tired during the Chinese New Year? ”

"I'm fine, I don't feel tired at all." Gu Ci had the feeling of being pampered by three thousand, but the Queen Mother, who ignored people with a straight face, hurriedly helped the emperor, "Will you stay and have lunch with your grandmother?" ”

The queen mother still didn't speak, and the emperor didn't care about losing face in front of the juniors, so he said in a good voice, "Don't be angry, the queen mother......"

It's obvious that you came to the Queen Mother to get angry, and you still make people angry...... Gu Yu was speechless and made another assist, "Grandmother will have a little great-grandson soon, of course she is not angry." Pulling the sleeve of the Queen Mother and shaking it.

The Queen Mother, whose face was obviously relaxed, suddenly slapped the table angrily, "You still know that I am your mother?" If you don't listen, don't let you step into Cining Palace, you're very obedient! It's not as good as my granddaughter! ”

Now everyone heard it, obviously the emperor didn't listen to what he should have heard, let him get out of the way, but he heard it clearly, and the execution was thorough, and Gu Ci could break into front of the queen mother, but the emperor honestly took a turn at the gate of Cining Palace and left.

No sincerity, dear!

Now that she knows the crux of the problem, the little pregnant woman said, "I'll arrange lunch", rescued her husband from the study, and let the most noble mother and son in the world make trouble by themselves.

"Tired or not? Shall I send you back to the house to rest? ”

"Not tired." Gu Ci, who just wanted to be coquettish, saw Gui Debo who was looking forward to it in the corner, and immediately made a virtuous and virtuous appearance, "You go and get busy, I'll arrange the food list, and talk to my grandmother in a while." ”

Yuan Yi also saw the bitter Gui Debo under her signal, so she had to hand over her daughter-in-law to Yiqing.

After a while, Yuyi also came with several sons, and she was a little surprised to see the emperor's imperial chariot.

Compared with the elation of the women, the faces of the brothers of the Gu family were a little bad. When Yuan Yi sent away Gui Debo, who was full of auspicious words, the four uncles had an in-depth discussion with him about the 'feelings' of being a father.

***********************

The lunch with the emperor was very lively, Gu Ci did not arrange a separate seat, but Yuan Yi took her and the emperor's empress dowager to have a seat, and the juniors accompanied Xiao Lu to a seat, fully allowing the emperor's brothers and sisters to play the tricks of coaxing the old lady.

After the meal, the emperor and Yuyi sent the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace, Xiao Lu grabbed Yuan Yi and continued to endorse the book, and Gu Ci chatted with his brothers to eat. The brothers can complain to the prince that it is not good for their sister to be young and pregnant, but to Gu Ci, they only talk about the situation of the sons in the family and let her relax. waited for Yuan Yi to be put back and sent Gu Qi back to rest, before he and his uncles went into the study to talk about business.

Gu Yi, who was usually silent and low-key, was the first to speak, "What happened to the newly built city in the north?" ”

Gu Chong only knew the general idea of this matter, and looked at his brother-in-law.

Yuan Yi opened the big map he had shown Gu Chong, and the red dots on it were Gu Ci who marked the location of the larger cities according to his memory, pointed to a red dot in a circle and said, "According to the topographic map handed back by Zhong Thirteen, this place can be built by the water," Seeing that Gu Yi was still eager to try, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's not the kind of dock town, there are not so many people, it's just a berth." ”

Gu Ao knew that since his younger brother was stimulated by his sister Langya Wu Town, his enthusiasm for building a new city was extremely high, and he couldn't wait to go to the new territory to show it, so he advised, "Langya has sufficient manpower and material resources, and the flow of people can afford to raise a dock town of such a scale, not to mention, you can preside over the people's livelihood in a place, so you can know how to plan in the future." ”

Yuan Yi secretly sneered, their so-called plan, compared to the little girl's drawings, it was a tangram.

Gu Hong nodded, "I understand, solve the problem of people first." ”

"I kept you today for this matter, on the first day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, the test law will be implemented, and Tang Shangshu has been working overtime these days. By the time I have summarized it a few times, there will definitely be many problems exposed, and I will prepare for an official examination at that time. ”

"My sister is tossing the female department, you get the official test, has the emperor ever spoke?" Gu Xi asked very directly.

"I have already told the emperor about the official examination, and it is not a problem. Aluan's female department is to recruit teachers from orphan camps in various places and prepare for the anthology ceremony, and it is not attributed to the scientific research department. ”

Now that the emperor has intentionally or unintentionally delegated power to Yuan Yi, the matter is not at the level of the six departments, basically there will not be much problem, not to mention that the pregnant princess wants to find some literate and literate women to help with such a trivial matter.

Yuan Yi continued, "I plan to let Bo Fu go to the Ministry of Officials, and Huang Shizhong will be responsible for clarifying the required positions and numbers in the name of replenishing manpower in Beiguan New Town. Wan Zhan was sent to Liuling City to open the grain road in the south with Bai Zhou. Qinde is temporarily in charge of the household affairs in the East Palace. As for Zhenyi, if you want, you can go to Fushun City first, and then go to Xingqing City later. I need to put someone in Guangling City, Zizong or Shen is willing to go there, otherwise I will choose another one in Zhan Shifu. A new Ming city is also being built near Nanzhao, which is mainly based on border trade. At the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, the Zhenbei Army should be rewarded for meritorious deeds. Moreover, if the three girls of the Ren family marry to the Ebu, you don't have to care who takes over the family's class. ”

Bo Fu is Gu Ce's character, Huang Shizhong is the father-in-law of the eldest sister Gu Xiaoyi, Wan Zhan is Jia Peng, Zhenyi is Gu Hong's character, Qinde is Gu Wenkai, Zizong is Gu Jue, and Shen Mian is Luo Jing. Although Gu Wenkai is in the fifth room, he is married to the family of the princess, no matter how good the relationship between the three rooms is, Gu Hong marries the daughter of the clan, and he will not be able to take up a real position after all, either go out to do hard work, or retire in Beijing. What others can get is not good or bad, and in general, the prince's arrangement does not take special care of the Gu family. However, Gu Ao and the others felt that it was very good and had no objections.

Yuan Yi picked up a pen and drew circles in two places, pointed to the one closest to Gaoli and said to Gu Chong, "This is probably the place you need to pay attention to the most next." The Xu family and the Cao family can bring some more. "There is also a place where the current Beiguan extends far to the northwest, "This will be a good stronghold in the future, if Xingqing City is completed, I will let Zhong 13 continue to go here." ”

Although Gu Ao had already heard Gu Chong talk about his plan, he still took a deep breath, "...... So, it's too radical, you're the prince now......"

"Just let you know what I'm going to do, and when you're going to start, you know what to expect." Yuan Yi smiled indifferently at Gu Ao, and said disapprehantly, "Give Wu Shangshu a letter, once you start to implement the apportionment of the mu, the crime of 'private slave and maid' can be studied and studied." ”

"After the news of Ah Luan's pregnancy spreads, remember to keep an eye on your five girls." Yuan Yi's words of gritted teeth were said to Gu Yi.

"You can close the door of Nanyuan." Gu Yi replied to him.

Yuan Yi turned his head and ignored him, and he didn't have anything to tell Gu Yi, but Gu Yi rarely spoke more often, "Don't be tired of her, she is easy to get sleepy in the first few months of pregnancy, and her temper is not good, she will get angry or cry for some reason, you must interrupt her with something else first, and then slowly coax her." He is one of the few men in the Gu family who has taken care of the pregnant women around him from beginning to end, and the others are either away from home or busy with work all day, and the feelings are not so profound.

Yuan Yi was really interested, thinking that this youngest brother had taken care of his daughter-in-law and gave birth to two at a time, and his experience must be more sophisticated than that of several others, so he immediately discussed it with him. When the intention was still unfinished, Ming Ting came to report with a smile on his face, Yangguan was victorious, the army of the Xiongnu king was defeated, and the remnants of more than 30,000 people fled to the Western Regions.

***********************

The next day, the news of the crown princess's pregnancy and the victory on the Western Front made the capital boil.

Gu Ci, who learned that his father was triumphant, was very happy to meet the girls in the side hall of the East Palace in turn.

The first one I saw was Lu Si, her family affair came inexplicably, and more than half of what the two said that day was not translated together, which actually made people look at it. However, Gu Chong said that Hai Lincha's power in Hubei was not weaker than Jiang Ge, so Gu Ci was particularly cautious.

She told Lu Si what Hai Lincha meant, and expressed her attitude towards Yu Chao, as well as other marriages that were going on at the same time, and then told Hai Lincha and Jiang Ge's status in Hubei Province, and gave it to Lu Si like a booklet, so that she could go back and think about it. At the time of the court meeting, it was good for Ebe to give her an answer before officially proposing her marriage.

"The crown princess's actions are indeed a bit unexpected, and she didn't coax me to accept it." Lu Si was still grinning, but his mind was extremely clear.

What a pig and a tiger! Gu Ci scolded and added with a smile, "Ah, I forgot to give you a preferential condition, if you really marry, I will give you the general agency of Sichun Winery in Xinbeiguan, there is no limit." ”

You must know that new wine like Wuliangchun is limited to 300 bottles per year!

Seeing Lu Si stuck, his eyes lit up, Gu Ci was relieved, and said something in his heart, "This is a distant marriage, not a kiss, and in the future, it will just be a border city with special customs in Dayu." Don't think that you are going to be a Zhaojun, you can think of yourself as a female Tuoba Hong. I hope that the person I married in the past will be the most satisfying husband and wife role model in Ebe, so don't force it. ”

“…… The power of your agitation is extraordinary. ”

Sending Lu Si away, inviting Yuan Minmin, facing this delicate little girl, Gu Ci first put her attitude very soft, but the first thing the girl said was, "I am willing to marry him." ”

"Have you figured it out? Have you discussed it with your family? ”

To be honest, her situation marrying in Beijing may be more helpful to her brother with a different surname.

"My brother and I went to see him......" Yuan Minmin was a little shy, and seemed to be really willing.

"There will be many opportunities in Beiguan soon, and your brother can try it if he wants. Are there any other requirements? ”

"If so, can you let my brother take my aunt and go over to live together?"

"You think it's good, I will pass you to Aunt Zhenyi's name, marry as the county lord, your biological mother can be named a third-grade lady, and live in the county lord's mansion in Beijing, of course, if you want to go to Beiguan with your brother, you can also do your own thing."

"Thank you, Crown Princess, but we don't want the county lord's mansion in Beijing."

It seems that he didn't want to leave something for Ren Cheng's family to rob. Gu Ci agreed, and as compensation, he would prepare more granges for her and her mother in Xinbeiguan and Zhenbei City.

Needless to say, Ren Shushen looked happy, and was teased by Gu Ci, and sent the other two to relieve the empress dowager's boredom and receive an advanced national education.

***********************

Gu Ci had no experience and didn't know when morning sickness would come, so he seized the time to arrange the affairs of the women's department and Sian Chay Hall in other places, as long as it involves education, it is a major event for a hundred years, and he can't be lifted halfway.

In the afternoon, I met with Princess Xichuan first, and recruited Ganlu and Ganyu who had already given birth to a child to help, and at first it was only in the name of choosing a tutor for Sian Chay Hall in Beijing, even if she didn't want to be a tutor, the property under the name of the crown princess would give priority to employing women with diplomas.

Since Gu Ci started running a school for the maids at home, the exams she said were not subjective questions like the imperial examination, but always true/false, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank questions, and essay questions that limited the number of words. Recruit two maids, first, because they are familiar with the process and marking standards of this kind of examination, so that they can take the group of literate maids released before to help Princess Xichuan prepare for the preliminary matters. The second is that they can make a budget, and they have to set a fee standard first, and they can't do day jobs. Third, they are all people who have been cultivated by Gu Ci's hard work, and their work habits are so well coordinated, how can they be idle at home because they are married?

The general subjects are divided into four subjects, Jingyi, Ming Arithmetic, Essays, and Boudoir Rites, and four other professional diplomas, agriculture, cooking, medicine, and embroidery. The former doesn't have to worry about Princess Xi Chuan's topic, Gu Ci will ask Xiao Lu to ask for the question, I believe that this news will make many talented women hidden in the boudoir enthusiastically sign up! The latter except for the written test of agriculture and medical skills plus on-site hands-on, the others are directly hands-on work, and the female masters of Hongdu will score them according to the process and the finished product.

As for the safety of the girls and the arrangement of the examination room during the written test, it will be arranged by Gan Tang. Unless there are more than 100 people who need accommodation, the spare dormitories of Tzu Chi Hall are completely sufficient, and the classroom is used as an examination room, and it is not a big problem to accommodate 1,000 people.

Princess Xi Chuan was originally afraid that after the crown princess was pregnant, she would have to take all the responsibility herself, but she trembled and learned that the content of the task was just a propaganda signboard, and she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and promised to mobilize her sisters, relatives and friends to participate.

The affairs of Sian Chay Hall are mostly hand-to-hand work, first writing the entire process and rules and regulations into a guidebook, and then the East Palace will send people to contact the prefects and palace maids who have left the palace before to try to build according to this manual. The initial funds are allocated by the East Palace, and the subsequent donations are audited by the East Palace. The local Da Chai Tang's male tutors are recommended by the prefect, and Tzu Chi Tang's female tutors can also conduct female examinations or be appointed by the East Palace.

As for whether there are people in various places who volunteer to be the initiators, Gu Ci plans to mobilize the power of his girlfriends and sisters to pull these noble ladies out of the intrigue among the parents to do something practical. Just let the titled Yuan Minhe preside, which can be regarded as making up for Gu Hong's unwillingness.

***********************

Three days later, Gu Ci's handkerchief in Beijing and his invited sisters gathered in the East Palace and listened to the princess's Amway.

The next day, the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess summoned the foreign wife together to officially announce that the Queen Mother had recovered from her illness and that Sian Chay Tong could accept donations. Of course, many people in this meeting came for the position of the crown princess and concubine, even if it was through the room, so that the crown princess returned to the dormitory that night in a low mood.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who did not know about it, kept in mind the words and deeds of his brother-in-law, and immediately took it to the Debo family to tease his wife.

"Is that what Lu Si himself meant?"

"Do you think Gui Deber can beat this granddaughter?"

"She wasn't in a lot of mood that day."

After she left the palace, she went to the Foreign Guest Building, arrested Hai Lincha and the interpreter, and ate spicy hot pot in Zhishuangzhai. When he was done, he went home and let the word come to Debor. ”

"That's good! Their dowry ......"

"Let the Ministry of Rites do it, you just need to look at the list."

"There shall be no books of craftsmen and crafts! Agricultural books and farm tools can be considered to get more ......"

"Shhh ”

Gu Ci tilted his head and looked at him obsessively, her husband was a single-minded rich and handsome, and of course there were many people who coveted him.

She took the initiative to turn over and entangle with him, and suddenly took the ribbon and tied his hands and eyes. Yuan Yi helplessly looked at her daughter-in-law's pouting and shy answer, she was very puzzled, and she didn't ask, so she had to cooperate with her.

Then I felt a chill on my body, my clothes were ripped off, and then the soft and fragrant little girl slid down, and the whole person got into the quilt and ripped open his pants......

Except for the ** roar from time to time, I can't say anything!

Afterwards, the prince, who didn't care about getting dressed, hugged his daughter-in-law, who was blushing and covering her mouth, to rinse her mouth, and fed her water, and he couldn't let go for a moment.

When she lay back on the bed, Yuan Yi kissed her little mouth excitedly, "Baby, you're so good!" ”

"I'm my brother's goblin."

"Actually, you don't have to ......" is too contrary to his intentions, so cool that it has another flavor and makes people lose control, but he also really feels sorry for the little girl.

"I love every strand of hair on my brother," she added with a smile as she suddenly felt the phrase familiar, "I like it too!" ”

The prince, whose self-control almost collapsed, wrapped her in the quilt and hugged her with emotion and regret, and Gu Ci nestled in his arms with satisfaction and fell asleep for a second.
