Chapter 249: Before the Storm!!

Erjin: Ahem! The books I write are not the best, but my readers are the best.

Girls: Something nice, girl, think about it!

Erjin: Grab a ticket!

Girls: Where's Gaha? Robbery or Wealth?

Erjin: Stop!

------Off topic------

Where is this guard, it is clearly house arrest!

He Chengan lowered his head and went out with his tail between his legs, but a chill was growing on his back.

"Yes, Your Majesty...... The minion will go. ”

Zhao Mianze turned his head and looked at the door of the imperial study, and his voice suddenly realized, "Pass the order and let Lu Hui send another three thousand Praetorian Guards to guard the Wei State Mansion." The big wedding is imminent, and Miss Seven must not be allowed to go wrong. Also, tell Ah Ji that if Miss Seven has three long and two short, let him come and see him. ”

"Your Majesty, the minions are here."

He Chengan was stunned, and hurriedly changed his smiling face.

"He Chengan-" As soon as Jiao Yu came out of the house, Zhao Mianze opened his eyes again.

Jiao Yu said "yes" solemnly, turned his head sideways, glanced at his half-bright and half-extinguished face, tightened the carp jade whistle in his sweaty palm, and lit the note with "King Jin will die" on the candle with his fingertips trembling.

Zhao Mianze said in a low voice, as if he was a little tired, and closed his eyes.

"Jiao Yu, this time, it's up to you to do it."

But the jade whistle with a carp pattern is a thing of contact.

Who these people are, Jiao Yu doesn't know.

Seriously, this is an important secret that belongs only to the emperor. To be more serious, the centaur who relied on the whistle was not a force cultivated by Zhao Mianze himself, but a henchman of Emperor Hongtai. Emperor Hong Tai has always regarded Zhao Mianze as his successor a long time ago, and it is logical for him to take over this secret team. These people, hidden everywhere, are the real emperor's guards and eyeliner. For example, the black skin of the Northern Expeditionary Army's grain and grass was burned in Mobei. For example, the person who has been secretly hiding around Chen Daniu, they all belong to the same category.

In his hand was a small carp-patterned jade whistle. It looks deceptively simple, and it is no different from ordinary toys. But its inner workings are not to be underestimated. It's just that very few people know about it.

"Yes."

Jiao Yu's heart tightened, and he held his breath.

There are only three people in the imperial study, does he mean that even He Chengan doesn't believe it?

"You go to the south and do it yourself." Zhao Mianze glanced at He Chengan, and his voice sank a lot, "The orders are all on the note, burn them after reading it." ”

"Your Majesty? This is......? Jiao Yu took the whistle and note in confusion.

"Take it!"

Coming and going, he wrote for a while, the waste paper on the table was torn into a small mountain, and it seemed that he had made a final decision, hurriedly wrote it into a note, wrapped it, and took out a jade whistle with a carp pattern from a locked drawer under the imperial case, gently put it on the paper, and pushed it towards Jiaoyu.

Zhao Mianze picked up the pen, wrote a piece of paper, and tore off another piece of paper.

The cold wind outside was blowing, but the earth dragon had been burned in the imperial study, warm as spring.

Jiao Yu stood in front of the imperial case for unknown reasons, and looked at the emperor's face with his eyes. He Chengan also carefully picked up the inkstone that fell on the ground, and when it was properly placed, he stepped forward to sharpen the ink for him, but he kept wondering what the emperor was angry with today, and his face would be so ugly.

"Grind the ink!" Zhao Mianze sat on the chair, his voice extremely tired.

He Chengan answered. After a while, Jiao Yu flashed inside.

"Call Jiao Yu."

In whispers, the ministers rushed out and withdrew from the Fengtian Temple. Zhao Mianze also walked away under Yuan You's playful gaze and went straight back to the imperial study. As soon as he entered the room, he looked dazed, and casually dropped the inkstone on the table, and only then sat weakly on the big rosewood chair in the "snap" sound of the inkstone falling to the ground.

But it is even more incomprehensible that Zhao Mianze would agree to such a ridiculous request.

It was surprising that Yuan Yu would make such a ridiculous request.

After an embarrassing pause, no one expected that Yuan You snorted coldly again, and said with a smile, "What kind of system does the rooster become in place of King Jin?" Since His Majesty has no intention of refusing, the minister also has a better way. As we all know, the minister and the king of Jin have always been close, and they are the sons and nephews of the king of Jin. ”

In an instant, the hall was so quiet that you could hear the needles falling. The crowd hung their heads, not knowing how to react.

But he is the emperor, he said that the rooster is "good luck", and no one dares to say bad luck.

The wedding of King Jin is also ridiculous to replace it with a rooster.

As soon as he spoke, the hall took a short breath and fell silent.

"Yuan Aiqing's concerns are right, I have a way to do this. I don't know if you have ever heard of the custom of folk marriage? If the bridegroom is in time to visit the church, he can use a rooster instead. The rooster can seek good fortune and avoid evil, which is a great benefit, and we can also follow suit. ”

But the emperor on the high dragon chair pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, but he smiled.

Everyone in the hall looked at him and Zhao Mianze, and there was a cold sweat on their backs.

His voice, one sentence higher than the other.

He sneered in his heart, and his mouth became less respectful, "Then according to Your Majesty's meaning, how can it be?" In front of the ministers, seeing that Zhao Mianze did not answer, he asked again, "Isn't it that Your Majesty wants to order the King of Jin to come back to worship and marry first, and then return to fight with the Una barbarian?" Oh, even if you make an order, I'm afraid it's too late, right? Besides, will the Una barbarian wait for us to finish drinking the wine before fighting? ”

But a bad thing will be related to the stability of the country? Grandpa Yuan didn't approve of it.

Three words in a row, his words are soft and hard.

Unlucky, disrespectful, unfavorable.

Yuan Aiqing is reasonable. However, the wedding date has been set, and the delay may be inauspicious. Moreover, Beidi attaches so much importance to the wedding, and Dayan's unilateral postponement is also disrespectful to Beidi. In addition, Prince Beidi and his entourage stayed in Beijing just to eat this sip of wine, and if it is postponed, it will also cause a lot of speculation, which is really not conducive to the stability of the country......"

Zhao Mianze looked at him contemplatively, rubbed his fingers on the dragon chair for a moment, and smiled slowly.

Coming back from Mobei to rest for a few days, Yuan You, who went to the court for the first time today, has not yet receded from the wind and dust on his body, looked left and right, and saw that no one made a sound, and the turbidity in his heart finally couldn't hold back, took two steps forward, and returned with his hand, "Your Majesty, marriage is a big event, and no child's play is allowed." The minister thought that the king of Jin was now on a campaign, and the marriage should be postponed until he returned victorious. ”

"What do you mean?"

But Zhao Mianze was silent for a moment, but kicked the ball to them.

This matter has been in the stomachs of the ministers for a long time, and when Lan Zi'an asked, they all pointed at Zhao Mianze to speak.

On the solemn Fengtian Palace, after the monarchs and ministers discussed the various recitals in recent days, before they retreated from the court, Lan Zi'an, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly stepped forward to play: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has been preparing for the wedding of King Jin for many days. But now in such a situation, I am afraid that King Jin will not be able to return to Beijing as scheduled, which is ...... The minister is confused, should the marriage date of King Jin be postponed? ”

The fifth day of the lunar month is the day of the great pilgrimage.

~

Some people are even saying that Beidi and Nanyan "are not allied and not fought", and a big reason is because of this marriage. But what the truth is, no one knows. I only know that from the perspective of time, no matter how rich Princess Wuren's dowry is, and how much attention is paid to the two countries, the war in the south has not ended, and the groom of King Jin, even if he uses Fei, will not be able to come back in time for the wedding.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, the envoy Yuan Xiaogong, who went to Beidi, arrived in Beijing, and what he brought back was, in addition to the rich dowry placed by Emperor Beidi to Princess Wuren, there was also a handwritten letter from Emperor Beidi to Zhao Mianze "peace is precious". It can be seen that Beidi also attaches great importance to the marriage between Wuren Xiaoxiao and Zhao Zhu, the king of Jin.

This smell, with the advent of the emperor's wedding, is getting stronger and stronger.

Experienced ministers can smell the smell of gunpowder in the air.

But secretly, his spies are more active.

A group of ministers in the DPRK and China who talked about the war on paper began to "worry about the country, the people, and the war" again, but Zhao Mianze "did not doubt the use of people, and did not use suspicious people." After a burst of laughter, he said that he would never interfere with and correct the combat methods of the great general Wang.

King Jin only took Yan Ergui as the vanguard and entered Annam with a small team, what could he do?

In this way, most of the main forces of the Southern Expeditionary Army were actually in the hands of Chen Jing.

It is reported that on November 15, the 27th year of Hongtai, the army of the king of Jin advanced all the way to Meng Liansi, and after a short handover with the local Tusi for more than ten days, it went straight to the Yuanjiang River on November 25. In the battle of Yuanjiang, the king of Jin won a great victory, and Ruan Chengqi, the prince of Annam, who personally supervised the battle, was captured, which caused an uproar in all directions. And the king of Jin waved all the way south, abandoning Una and attacking Annan's intention was more obvious, several cities on the border of Annan were pocketed by him, but no one thought that at this time, Chen Jing, who had already marched west along the Lancang River, appeared with most of the main force of the southern expeditionary army, all the way to Mo'erkan, and attacked the station of the protector king of the country of Una, and after seven days and seven nights of fierce battle, Una was defeated and retreated to Moerkan, and the protector died in battle.

But at this moment, the news of the war of King Jin in the south was still coming.

The wax moon has arrived, and it is closer to the emperor's wedding.

The people are busy welcoming the annual Chinese New Year's Eve.

Entering the wax moon, there is a New Year's atmosphere in the Jingshi City. The singing, dancing, wine, tea, clothing, and pastry shops in the city are all lit up and hung with lanterns. In the deep alleys of the long streets, you can occasionally hear one or two festive sounds of firecrackers and fireworks.

The twenty-seventh year of Hongtai has arrived in a blink of an eye.

~

"I love each other deeply, and I am sick on the bed. The years are long, the clothes are thin, and they are precious! ”

Looking at her deep dark eyes, the touch of longing that could not be hidden, A Yi said "yes" softly, turned his back to her, and aimed at a line of words on the paper at the moment when he wrapped the letter paper in the letterbox.

Xia Chuqi looked at his stiff face, smiled lightly, I don't know what he thought, his face was like spring, "I sent the wrong letter last time." If it was wrong again this time, Zhao Shijiu would definitely stew it into pigeon soup. ”

A turned around and asked her, puzzled, "Why does it have to be a pony?" ”

"Give it to the ponies." Seeing that he was rolling in the letterbox, Xia Chuqi suddenly commanded.

This question she repeated a hundred and eight times, the corners of Jia's lips twitched slightly, she shook her head helplessly, raised the letter paper in her hand, said "Let's go to deliver the message first", and walked to the pigeon cage at the window.

"Have I seen you somewhere? Why is it so familiar? ”

"What's the matter with me?" The first side is slightly dull.

"Did you just find out? You usually have eyes on the back of your head, right? Xia Chuqi teased lightly, seeing that he took the letter and was about to turn around, he suddenly rushed over again, blocking him with both hands in front of him, and raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Boss A, when are you going to tell me about you?" ”

"Nothing." Jia Yi lowered his eyes and said softly, "When did you become so good-looking?" ”

She raised her eyebrows, "What are you looking at?" ”

Jia Yi looked at her and was stunned, forgetting to reach out to pick it up.

She turned around after writing, smiled at Jiayi, and handed over the note where the ink had not dried. The arc of the smile at the corner of the lips was cold, sharp as ice, without half a minute of temperature, but the complexion was overwhelming.

"Don't bother, just fly the pigeon and pass the book."

In the quiet moment, a breeze blew in from the window, blowing on her long hair and flowing dress, blowing the palace silk with two phoenix beads on her waist swaying lightly, and she, like the fairy in the painting, brought a kind of posthumous and independent beauty.

Jia Yi looked at her and was silent.

Xia Chuqi thought about it, didn't answer, walked directly to the bookcase a few steps away, rolled up his cuffs high, took a pen dipped in ink and wrote on the paper, looking focused and extremely devoted.

"Don't you bring a letter from home?" A Yi hesitated and asked again.

"Hmm," she smiled slightly.

"Clothes only?"

As soon as Jia took the clothes and held them in his arms, he was very strange.

Xia Chuqi smiled and pushed his hand away, went straight into the inner room, and took out a large stack of neatly folded clothesβ€”those were the winter clothes she had prepared for Zhao Bottle these days. Looking at Jia Yi, who was motionless, she smiled lightly and said, "When he left, it was still summer, and he brought thin clothes, and now that the south is also cold, I'm afraid his clothes are not enough to wear." You can send these winter clothes to the horse as soon as possible. ”

"No, you're wrong, I don't care about this, I was going to get married, whether he comes back or not."

"You don't have to worry. Even if you can't come back, there is still me. ”

He sighed, how could he not know her worries?

"It's fine." She swallowed, a smile on her face.

"Xia Chu!" Jia Yi couldn't bear her like this, gritted his teeth and called her name, strode close to her, squeezed her shoulders, and forced her to raise her head to face herself, and his gaze also sank into her confused eyes, "What's wrong with you?" ”

In her ears, there was only the sound of horses' hooves coming from southern Xinjiang.

Xia Chuqi stared at him, but didn't hear him.

"Miss Seven, what do you command? You say. A frowned, and spoke again.

Xia Chuqi looked back at him and didn't speak. The moonlight on the windowsill fell on the pigeon coop, on her face, and on Jiayi's face. But it is as pure as the moon, and I don't understand people's hearts, let alone what kind of story it will shine on this heaven and earth.

A stood still, but he just looked at her and didn't say anything.

"Boss A, wait a minute."

Today is the fifteenth day of the month, and the moonlight from the window comes in, which is very bright, but Xia Chuqi looked at Jia's angular mouth and closed it for a long time before he reacted and shouted to him in a low voice.

"Alas!" Seeing that she didn't move, A let out a long sigh, "You rest first, I'll retreat." ”

But now that the moon is approaching, and her wedding date is getting closer and closer, she really can't wait.

Such a simple truth, she knows better than anyone else.

If you don't move, you can't go wrong. If you move, you will be full of loopholes, and you may lose all the games.

But four full months have passed since Zhao left the bottle, and she has never done so.

She always knew that Jia Yi had a channel to contact Zhao Bottle.

About this, Xia Chuqi knows about it.

"Miss Seven!" A looked at her for a long time, stood a little frowning, leaned against the windowsill, grabbed the pony from her hand, and said to her with a serious face again, "Don't hold it in your heart, if you have something to say to your master, I can arrange it and bring it to him." ”

It's a pity that she doesn't understand her language, which is a pity.

"Goo!" The pony spoke again.

"How far can you fly, pony?"

The tickle in her palm made her bend her lips and lower her head to stroke its feathers.

"Coo-coo-coo-" The pony shook its night-stained feathers and pecked at her palm.

"Pony, fly a fly, isn't it much more comfortable?" She asked.

Xia Chuqi didn't look back, just stared at the pony who had just gone out to do a "flying sport".

"Miss Seven, what do you have to tell you?" A Yi noticed her abnormality and stood beside her and asked.

Just today, she also heard that he was on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, no matter how much she waited, it was too late for him, right?

Day after day passed, and it was almost November, how could she wait?

But the word "wait" also cut her heart.

She actually knew very well that there was only one word, and he didn't dare to write too much. Don't dare to write too much, for her safety.

A simple word, she doesn't know how many times she has seen it.

The one-word letter home had already been pinched into rough edges by her.

"Wait."

The vibration of a butterfly's wings can cause a tornado and bring changes to the entire environment, which is called the "butterfly effect". A pigeon crashing through the night and landing on her shoulder also caused her psychological and environmental changes, which she called the "pigeon effect".

Before the beginning of the summer, her body was good, she was not afraid of the cold, and she could stand it in the bitter cold place of Mobei, but now somehow, in a feng shui treasure like Jinling, she was already frozen before she entered the wax moon, and she slept at night, her hands and feet were cold all night long, and she couldn't warm up. So, she spent more time in the house, rarely going out, staring at the pigeon cage on the windowsill when she had nothing to do, and she was so stupid and stupid that she didn't blink.

In November, it's cold.

On the days when there is money in the warehouse, everything is fine, but there is one bad thing.

She also said that being a queen is really a good livelihood. This person doesn't have to be seen, he doesn't even have to grind his mouth, he can make money every day, there is only one in the world, and there is no other branch. If she doesn't make good use of the opportunity to search for those people, how can she be worthy of her values of "doing the right thing for heaven and eliminating violence and peace"?

But Xia Chuqi laughed, "Flying windfall, don't reduce your life." ”

Xia Chang once warned her worriedly, saying that doing this would not have a good impact.

Not only was he promoted to a Zhengyipin official again, but he was also highly regarded in the court, and he was also very sought after among civil and military officials. But luckily, this grandfather is a timid person. With Xia Tingde's lesson in front of him, he usually didn't dare to stretch out his hand to people, and when others put it up, he also had to take a few steps back, which made Xia Chuqi laugh.

The people who rise also include Xia Chang, the emperor's brother-in-law.

In order to congratulate her on her marriage to the emperor, those who slipped around and wanted to go through the back door, and the officials who took the opportunity to get close to her, did not come to the Wei Mansion to walk around. Since the beginning of November, the seventh day of the summer has naturally not lost anything. Food, clothing, play, play, use, gold, silver...... All kinds of things, the treasury of her Chutz Courtyard has daily accounts.

Xia Chuqi himself, in the big wedding, also benefited a lot.

Just when everyone was speculating whether King Jin would have time to rush back to get married, Zhao Mianze didn't seem to doubt the ability of his nineteenth emperor uncle. He ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to organize the wedding of the King of Jin according to the prince's etiquette system, and the etiquette was not lacking, and the red tape in it was not listed, and it was always in November of the twenty-seventh year of Hongtai, the word "big wedding" was the key word of the Dayan Dynasty, and the wedding of the emperor and the King of Jin had also become the most important event outside the war in the south.

The wedding of the King of Jin is also tied to the country.

The emperor's wedding is related to social welfare.

Thus, another person who benefited from the "emperor's wedding" was born.

If such a thing is on the table, it is a big deal. didn't directly ask for his head by the emperor, he told himself, cherish the blessings. If it weren't for the fact that the "Emperor's Wedding" would not be bloody, I am afraid he would not have had the opportunity to eat another bowl of fragrant prison rice of the Dayan Dynasty.

However, no matter how long he cried a string of tears, he could only consider himself unlucky.

The saddest thing is that even when he was in prison, he didn't understand when there was an obvious relative like Cao Guogong on his family's family genealogy. I don't understand when I became related to Concubine Jing and became a pawn for revenge.

Speaking of which, one more nonsense has to be said. The ability of the doctors in the hospital to "make the emperor bow his head and let the concubines undress" is a profession that makes people envious, jealous and hateful quite a few times. But this kind of profession is also too risky, they are facing the supreme power of this dynasty, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will lose their heads, such as this Imperial Doctor Ding, he can't say a reason at all, and he was imprisoned.

Concubine Shu's slippery tire, the problem actually lies with a doctor surnamed Ding.

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

At the same time, she also brought another terrifying news from the palace on the seventh day of the beginning of Xia - after the "battle for the concubine" with different opinions, yesterday evening, after Concubine Hui Wulan and Concubine Jing Ding, the dragon fetus in Concubine Xie's womb also slipped off. In a short period of time, Zhao Mianze was furious after the loss of two children, which made people verify.

After recuperating for a few days, the "unconscious" Mama Wu went to work again.

Or to put it this way, she no longer has a heart for anyone.

But Qinglan is not stupid, she can see that no matter how much Xia Chuqi cares about Gillian, he will never have a heart to heart with her again.

This thought frightened Qing Lan herself, but she didn't dare to tell Xia Chuqi.

She is a free and easy person, who allows others to turn the world upside down, and she has no desires. Except for Gu Gillian, the great beauty who created her, it seems that she no longer has any pursuit of life, but no one knows what her purpose of "pretending to be Gillian" is. And she focuses on Gillian every day, in addition to making Gu Gillian more and more uncomfortable and timid, Qinglan also once thought strangely that she had lost her child, and had a special empathy for Gillian, for example, treating her as her own child.

Eating, sleeping, pretending to be Gillian - from morning to night, she only has these three things left.

Without the days of teaching Mama Xi to be a "bee" in front of her, Xia Chuqi's life became better again.

After listening to the third sentence, the teacher Xi Mama who had a cold immediately foamed at the mouth and fell into a coma.

After listening to the second sentence, another teacher Mama was seriously ill that night and quit her job.

After listening to the first sentence, a teaching grandmother sneezed and caught a cold.

These three sentences were all said by her lazily.

"It's just a scumbag, whoever wants to sleep will sleep, Lao Tzu is not rare!"

"If the emperor only has one woman, there won't be so many things."

"An emperor sleeps with a group of women, in the final analysis, it is all a problem with sleep."

The competition for favor of women in the palace, these indiscriminate tricks, she is almost tired of watching TV series in her previous life, she doesn't want to experience it in this life, let alone do it herself.

But no matter what they say, Xia Chuqi doesn't care.

Before attaching to her, they first had to improve her combat power.

Their purpose is very simple, they want to cling to Xia Chuqi, the future queen.

The dynasty has changed, and people's minds have changed.

They not only taught her the red tape of her wedding, but also taught her the complicated etiquette that she should have as a queen. In addition, he also passed on various gossip news in the palace to her in a timely manner, and taught her some "common sense of palace fighting". The two grandmothers are not young, they are the only remaining "fruits" that have been washed out by the waves of various palace battles in the Hongtai Dynasty, and they are very experienced in combat.

Because since the beginning of November, there have been two teaching grandmothers in the palace in the Wei State Mansion.

Without the big-mouthed plum, Xia Chuqi still knows these things.

That's it, that's it.

When I need you, I hold it in my hand. When you don't need it, step on the soles of your feet.

A woman is a chess piece.

The envious eyes in the palace were staring at Wulan Mingzhu again. However, the discerning man laughed and scoffed. Only said: Now that the war is raging on the border of Dayan, the emperor once again favors Concubine Hui is just that he wants to release a signal to the Beidi Emperor by marrying Beidi - good neighborliness and friendship.

But regardless of whether Li Qinyue is pregnant with a child or not, or whether Xie Jingtian is embarrassed or not, there is only one winner in this matter - Wulan Mingzhu. The day after the slippery tire happened, the once pampered Concubine Wulan Pearl once again became Zhao Mianze's "pillow regular". According to the records of Tongshi, for several days, Emperor Jianzhang summoned Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui regained her grace, just like that day, and better than that day.

There are all kinds of things, but every ordinary opinion is the same - the emperor's wedding is imminent, the queen is going to enter the middle palace, and all the concubines are panicked, wanting to gamble at the last moment and get their own foothold.

Some people say that she was not pregnant with a child, and this move was just to catch the pregnant concubine and the once most favored Wulan Mingzhu. Some people say that it is clear that the concubine is pregnant at the same time as her, and in order to compete for the position of the concubine, the first strike is stronger. Some people also say that it was Ulan Mingzhu who was confined to Xingxiu Palace for several months, and he couldn't hold back his own bitter meat.

Concubine Jing Li stole chickens and rice, and was reprimanded by Zhao Mianze, crying and fainting.

There was a lot of trouble in the palace, and Zhao Mianze had to come forward. As a result, Wulan Mingzhu, who had not seen Zhao Mianze for a long time, was also "forced" to meet the handsome emperor who thought about it day and night. I haven't seen her for a long time, she is in front of Zhao Mianze, and the thin body that has been depressed after the miscarriage suddenly becomes a little delicate. Unexpectedly, her waist that was not full of hands, her pale and haggard face, and the smile that was still soft despite being full of resentment, and of course, the small pear vortex that appeared at the corner of her lips at the right time made Zhao Mianze think of the love of "one day husband and wife for one hundred days", sighed, and relieved her of the pain of grounding.

She found Zhao Mianze crying, and took Xie Jingtian and Wulan Mingzhu out together, wanting to avenge their grievances.

Li Qinyue lost her child and refused to follow.

It is strange to say that when she had an argument with Concubine Shu, she carefully slipped and fell to the ground and fell off the child. What's even more strange is that the place where she wrestled turned out to be the residence of the grounded Concubine Huilan Mingzhu - Xingxiu Palace.

In the sound of jubilation, no one thought that Le Ji would be sad, that Concubine Jing Li was obviously not as lucky as Concubine Xie, she didn't have time to know whether the fetus in her womb was male or female, and she didn't have time to wait for the holy decree of the concubine, one accidentally fell, and the child was lost.

They all thought that the two mothers who were pregnant with dragon seeds would get holy favor, but Zhao Mianze was also a strange person, in addition to his heart for dragon seeds, he didn't love the land where dragon seeds grew at all, let alone favor them. When the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion were preparing for his lively wedding, he was still "good at diligence", and he must not be lazy, and he would go to the palaces every once in a while, and by the way, he would "talk about life and ideals" with his concubines in the bed, so that the six palaces were blessed together, and the dynasty was harmonious.

For a time, some people were jealous, some people were suspicious, and the people in the palace had their own words. But whether it is Concubine Shu or Concubine Jing, they probably know very well in their hearts that the word "expensive" of this concubine actually has nothing to do with them, they only care about whether their stomachs are angry.

Being promoted to a concubine is undoubtedly a winner in life and a jump in fate.

In this palace, except for the queen who has not passed through the door, there is not a single concubine.

From concubine to "concubine", the difference of one word is a qualitative change.

The concubine is pregnant, and Zhao Mianze is naturally overjoyed. After receiving the news, in addition to personally condolences and a number of rewards to the two concubines, he also spoke directly. The two pregnant concubines, no matter who gives birth to the little prince, will be promoted to the rank of concubine.

In the middle of November of the 27th year of Hongtai, following Concubine Hui, who was designed by Xia Chuqi to have a miscarriage on a horse in Dongyuan, Concubine Xie Jingtian and Concubine Jing Li Qinyue were diagnosed with a dragon seed in two days. Hearing the good news, the palace celebrated, and some old ministers even set up incense cases to bow, and they were so excited that they whimpered, as if the palace concubine was pregnant, and they also helped a lot. As for the court, the father of Concubine Xie Jingtian, Xie Changjin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Li Qinyue's grandfather, Li Fushan, the Duke of Cao Guo, are also rising in the court.

And then there's the third thing.

Thus sowing seeds in the palaces, and he will finally reap the rewards.

Of course, his profession is to be an emperor, although he loves Xia Chu and works hard for state affairs, he has not forgotten the way of being a king, and he has to spread branches and leaves for the royal family and extend his heirs. So, in his busy schedule, Emperor Jianzhang still fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations of "sleeping and having children" with his concubines. It's just that this kind of trivial matter, it is not his turn to be the emperor to worry about it, there are people in the palace who do everything possible to climb into bed, take the initiative to send them to the door, recite poems, play the piano, and sing, and try their best to attract him to the past, and his harem is not lonely at all.

It's a pity that they are allowed to compete for beauty and exhaust their scheming, but Zhao Mianze has no preference.

In the second case, as soon as the filial piety period of the Empress Dowager of filial piety passed, the concubines in the palace who had been wearing filial piety clothes for a long time dressed up again and made their own little calculations. In the days of Zhao Mianze's filial piety, he has not been in the harem, nor has he had a good impression of any concubine, the beauties have been holding back for so long, and now they finally have the opportunity, all of them are ready to move, and they all want to seize the opportunity and become the first favorite concubine of the new round of Dayan.

As we all know, every move of the emperor is not as simple as it seems. This can often be interpreted as a certain signal of release, so when they were idle, the ministers began to fight belly lawsuits, privately speculating whether Zhao Mianze was really kind to him, the former father-in-law, or had other plans.

Xia Tingde was spared death, and he was uneasy.

The first case, the emperor's wedding, is the dragon and phoenix. In order to avoid the inauspiciousness of sword light and blood, Emperor Jianzhang issued an edict of "amnesty to the world", except for the "ten evils" that violated the Gangchang "Ten Evils", all prisoners in custody were exempted. The thieves from all over the world are not to blame. Even the "Ten Evils" were given commuted sentences. As a result, Xia Tingde and other prisoners who were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department waiting to be beheaded were also blessed by the "Great Wedding of the Emperor and Empress", and the death penalty was changed to exile.

In the imperial court and the imperial palace, there were also several major events in a row.

The common people are preparing for the New Year in a lively manner.

Approaching the end of the year is a good day.

All in all, the "GDP" of the Dayan Dynasty is rising in a straight line.

The sons of Emperor Hongtai, the feudal kings who were divided into various places, were allowed to stay in the capital because they entered Beijing to serve the mourning of the empress dowager and the emperor's wedding, and they did not return to the domain for the time being, and then set off after the wedding. A group of envoys led by Beidi and the crown prince Hasar have not yet returned to Beijing because of the wedding of Princess Wuren. And those envoys from all over the world who specially entered Beijing for the wedding of Emperor Dayan also poured into Beijing. Everyone got together, and Ying Tianfu was squeezed like a boiling porridge pot. Excited, noisy, noisy, crowded. It is said that these days, the number of cases in the Yamen of Yingtianfu is increasing every day. Tea houses, wine shops, song and dance shops, and even the Qinglou on the Qinhuai River have more than doubled the number of visitors.

The filial piety period of the Empress Dowager has passed, and the whole court is discussing and guessing about the wedding of Emperor Jianzhang and King Jin on the same day. In this way, the smell of gunpowder from the southern battlefield was diluted.

In this period of time that is about to transition from the year of Hongtai to the first year of the founding of the chapter, the city of Beijing is very lively.
