Chapter 440

At the beginning of the establishment of the country, in order to suppress the power of the local clan lords, the principle of not allowing foreign relatives to sit on the throne was pursued. Since the founding emperor, there have been thirteen emperors, and more than half of them have been appointed as queens of ordinary good people.

The bad thing is the first emperor's body.

The first emperor succeeded to the throne back then, but he borrowed the power of his wife's family. The first empress dowager is the daughter of the Cui family, the head of the four major families. Because of the strong support of the Cui family, the first emperor was able to ascend to the great treasure and dominate the country.

After ascending to the throne of the emperor, the first emperor began to suppress the Cui family. Queen Na Cui died of illness in the palace due to exhaustion, and she was only thirty years old when she died.

After the death of Empress Cui, the first emperor set up the current Empress Dowager Chen as the queen. This Chen was originally a concubine in the former emperor's palace, although she was born stunningly, she was an orphan with no father and no mother.

In order to establish Empress Chen, the first emperor fought with a group of pavilion elders for many years, and finally succeeded in establishing the queen, but his own sons were adults, and it was time for the great battle for the heir.

In order to break up several large forces in the army, the first emperor had no choice but to select the daughter of the Pei family as the second princess to help the second prince succeed in ascending to the throne, and then his old man returned to the west, leaving a mess of the re-emergence of the family to the current saint.

Fortunately, the emperor has a good life, and he has become a widower from his husband, but he has also changed color after talking, and only Concubine De is the only one in the harem, and the middle palace has been empty for many years.

Now that he wants to make Xu Hui the queen, he hardly needs to think about his intentions. However, there was no suggestion or opinion from the Cabinet.

The five cabinet ministers, led by Zhang Jin, the first assistant of the cabinet, the scholar of Huagaidian University and the secretary of the ministry, were all very secretive about this. If it weren't for the emperor's inquiry, come to the front. They didn't say a word. And even when they did, it was all about him.

The Emperor showed an extremely tough attitude on this matter, and finally made a dead letter, demanding that the cabinet must give a reply before the end of the month.

The bright tide and undercurrents above the court are surging together, and even the entire capital is talking. And in the Pingnan Hou Mansion, this February was also extremely unpeaceful.

A big event happened in Fuchu.

This matter made a big fuss in the Hou Mansion, and Fu Ke was directly sent to Shandong, and Zheng was sent by Fu Geng to Zhuangzi to recuperate.

Chaoyun is about to give birth.

Since finding out that she is pregnant, Chaoyun has lived in Taoyuan Xiaozhu. Mrs. Hou said that she told her to think about it behind closed doors. In fact, he protected her in disguise.

As a result, Choi fell seriously ill. It wasn't until September last year that it gradually improved. Mrs. Hou probably wanted to compensate her, so she handed over many things in the house to the Cui family to take care of, and for a while, the situation that the long room and the second room each accounted for half of the country was broken, and the Cui family was alone. Zhang also has to withdraw from the land of one/shot/.

That Chaoyun was a good person. I know that I am not pleased with my mother. So he quietly stayed in the small building of Taoyuan. When I go out, I look at Cui's timetable, and I pick out when Cui's is not there.

Several times, when Fu Jun was walking in the garden. From a distance, I saw Chaoyun holding his belly, surrounded by two maids and a few mothers-in-law, carefully walking in the flower garden near the Taoyuan small building.

Fu Jun took a detour every time and never had any contact with the other party.

After Mrs. Hou sent a speech to order Chaoyun to think about it behind closed doors, she seemed to have forgotten about the matter, and she never took back her fate. And Chaoyun has been staying in Taoyuan Xiaozhu.

Fu Ting probably wanted to have another child, but he was very fond of Chaoyun, all kinds of exquisite clothes and edible goods were sent over in a steady stream, and he often came back to live, Chaoyun seemed to become the main mother of Taoyuan Xiaozhu.

Now, Chaoyun is about to be full, Mrs. Hou and Fu Ting attach great importance to this child, and they have prepared a stable wife since the beginning of February, and even the nurse has been selected, just waiting for Chaoyun to have a child.

On this day, after Fu Jun went to Rongxuan Hall to say goodbye, because it was the day of the first day of rest in Baishi Academy, she did not leave immediately, but stayed in Rongxuan Hall to speak.

Since Zheng and Fu Ke left the house one after another, Fu Jun's life is much better now. At least you don't have to worry about a fire in your backyard all the time. However, she still lives in Qiuxi House. Not for anything else, but because it was quiet, so that there was no trouble between the rooms.

Fu Yao has also been walking around Qiuxiju from time to time recently, and Fu Zhen occasionally comes. I guess it's because it's quiet. After all, there are few truly quiet places in this huge Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Hou has been in a good mood these days, and at this time she was smiling at Fu Jia and said: "I remember that you embroidered a handkerchief with a very clever pattern some time ago, and I have a few ready-made tassels here, so I gave it to you, but it looks good when it falls on that handkerchief." ”

Fu Jia smiled and said, "Thank you grandmother, I was thinking about making a mess myself, but now I can be lazy." ”

Mrs. Hou smiled and pointed at her and said to Zhang: "Look, it's not mine, it's just to find an excuse for her to be lazy." ”

Zhang smiled gently: "Don't be so used to her old lady, she is very idle, so it's good to have these things to do, so you don't have to be naughty all day long." ”

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she was a little emotional, so she stroked her hair and sighed: "Alas, don't say anything naughty or not." This is already a big girl, won't she be out of the cabinet in two years? ”

Fu Jia was ashamed to say this, and stomped his feet with a red face: "People are only in time, grandmother doesn't want to drive people away like this." ”

Everyone laughed when they said this, but Fu Qi on the side didn't understand these words, so he asked in a milky voice: "Hey, is the third sister leaving?" Where to go? Can you take Sister Tian with you? ”

Everyone laughed more and more when they heard this, and even Fu Jun held the teacup and laughed.

At this time, I saw Qian's mother walking in from outside, but her face was a little unpleasant, as soon as she entered the room, she glanced left and right, and then saluted Mrs. Hou and said, "Old lady, the slave has something to do." ”

"What?" Mrs. Hou said unhurriedly.

Mother Qian didn't speak, but swept around Fang and said with a smile: "This matter has to be told to the second wife and the old lady alone." ”

As soon as Zhang heard this, he immediately got up and said, "The daughter-in-law remembered that the mother-in-law on the stove had tried a few new dim sums, and she would like to go back and have a look." ”

Mrs. Hou nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

Starting from Zhang's head, Fu Jun also resigned from Rong Xuantang smoothly, and took Shen's mother and others to Qiuxi Residence.

Who would have thought, she walked here to the corner of the back garden, and suddenly saw a maid running towards Rong Xuantang in a panic. Fu Jun remembered that this maid was serving Chaoyun.

Fu Jun only glanced at it, and then led the people into the path quickly. Mother Shen, who was on the side, approached and said softly, "Girl, do you want the old slave to ask?" ”

"There's Mama Lao." Fu Jun said softly.

It seems that Chaoyun is only afraid that he is about to give birth, although Fu Jun does not care about the affairs of these wives and concubines in the second room, but he still has to do it.

Shen's mother retreated without a trace, and Fu Jun continued to walk back with the maid. A few people turned around and walked through the hall, and suddenly heard a loud commotion coming from the direction of Taoyuan Xiaozhu, and Fu Jun faintly heard someone shouting "Someone is dead".

Fu Jun's expression changed slightly, but he didn't stop at all, and went back to Qiuxi Residence. (To be continued.) )
