In the palace, Zhong Cui Palace, the emperor was talking to Chen Guifei. The emperor said: "Concubine Ai, this time the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet and the Lantern Festival banquet were held very well, Concubine Ai, since you took charge of the harem, everything in the harem has gone smoothly, which can be seen due to your ability and virtue." ”

Chen Guifei hurriedly said: "The emperor has won the award, where does the concubine have any ability, but the emperor loves me, so I think it's good." ”

The emperor hurriedly said: "Don't be modest with Concubine Ai, the situation of Concubine Ai in charge of the harem in the past few years is obvious to all." Now that the Wang family has been deposed, there are ministers in the court who have written to request the establishment of the queen and the prince. ”

Chen Guifei's heart sank, but on the surface, she said lightly: "Are you in such a hurry?" The emperor hasn't sent the former queen yet? This is a major national event, whether it is established or established, but it must be cautious. ”

The emperor glanced at Chen Guifei seriously and said, "Aifei, the courtiers all say that Aifei is virtuous and virtuous, and I ask you to be the queen." ”

Chen Guifei hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, don't do it." ”

The emperor was surprised and asked, "Why not?" You are already a concubine, and you gave birth to my eldest daughter, or you are from the Chen family, no matter your family background, qualifications, and conduct are enough to be the queen. From the previous dynasty to the current dynasty, your Chen family has produced countless queens, and it is very suitable for you to be the queen. ”

Chen Guifei said: "Your Majesty, what you said is very true. I was born in the Chen family, and there have been countless queens in our family, so even if there is one more me, it is normal. Also, now in the palace, I am the only one who enters the palace with me. In terms of seniority, there is no longer than me. I am also a noble concubine, and now I have the highest position in the palace. These are all the capital that I can weigh in the future. ”

The emperor was very surprised and looked at Chen Guifei, who had a calm face, and said, "Since Concubine Ai also thinks so, why do you say that it must not be?" ”

Chen Guifei said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is good in all aspects, just one point, so that I can't become the queen." ”

The emperor was curious and asked, "Which point?" ”

Chen Guifei said: "The concubine has no children. ”

The emperor was stunned and speechless.

Chen Guifei said: "The prince born of the concubine died early, and he didn't even have a title, and he didn't even have a ranking among the brothers. I can't sleep at night when I think of this concubine, hey. ”

The emperor also thought of his son who died young, and he didn't say anything for a while, just reached out to help Chen Guifei, who was in tears.

Chen Guifei tried her tears and said, "Your Majesty." The concubines now have no prince, the crown prince has been abolished, and the throne can only be chosen among the existing adult princes. But whether it is the second, third, or fourth, it is not from me, if I sit in the back seat, then who will be the prince? The queen and the crown prince are not their own mother and son, and the former dynasty and the harem cannot be harmonious, so how can His Majesty have the heart to govern the government. So, said the concubine. Never. As for the concubine, she is already a noble concubine, and now she has only one daughter, she is deeply favored by His Majesty, and she lives well in her husband's family. I have no worries, so let me accompany His Majesty in the palace and enjoy my old age in peace. ”

After saying that, tears flowed out again. The emperor looked at the corners of Chen Guifei's eyes, and thought that for so many years, Chen Guifei had accompanied him since he was the crown prince, and now there were many women in the prince's mansion at that time, only the deposed queen Wang and Chen Guifei in front of him were left. couldn't help sighing, and slowly took Chen Guifei into his arms.

Two days later, the emperor suddenly issued an order to give Chen Guifei's early death the title of a prince, and set up a tablet in the temple to accept offerings. Enjoy the treatment of a prince.

The government and the opposition are inexplicable, the little prince born by Chen Guifei died early, and more than 20 years have passed, why is it only at this time that he is crowned a prince and deserves to enjoy the temple?

No matter what the courtiers thought. Chen Guifei's family and the three rooms of the Chen family all fully assisted the Ministry of Rites in handling this matter. Princess Lichuan is especially dedicated.

The government and the opposition suddenly realized that the Chen family was really favored, and even the little prince who died early was stained.

As a result, there are more people looking for the second room of the Chen family to propose marriage, and Chen Yuanluan and his wife are already dazzled. It's good to look at this, it's good to look at that. Aunt Sun woke up with a smile from her sleep, counting on the second lady to choose two good sons-in-law every day.

Wenhua and Wenjuan are very grateful to Chen Wenhui, if it weren't for the clothes and jewelry that Chen Wenhui gave them, they wouldn't have shined at the Lantern Festival banquet.

Wen Jin also knew the news, her teeth itched with hatred, and she returned to her parents' house, because she had an awkward relationship with her husband again, and was talking to the second lady in her mother's room. The second lady said to Wen Jin while comparing the list with the people who came to propose marriage: "Jin'er, your temper also needs to be changed, it's not okay to always be like this." Your mother-in-law was already very strict in governing the family, and now you are running to your mother's house all day long, can she be happy? Isn't it even more disdainful of you? ”

Wen Jin said while eating the pastry: "Hmph, this time it's all bad for the son, he actually gave me no face in front of the concubine, how can I let him, I came back angry." ”

The second lady said: "This man is to be coaxed, you haven't come out yet, naturally you have no status in your in-law's family, this face is not important, the important thing is to win the husband's heart and give birth to a son as soon as possible." ”

Wen Jin said: "Hmph, mother, all you think about now is your two concubines, where are you still thinking about me." I don't care if I bully you for the rest of my life. ”

When the second lady heard this, she put down the list in her hand, sat next to her daughter, and said, "Fool, why should I help them if I didn't give birth to them." Why did I choose their in-laws so hard? In order to increase the power of our second room, as long as we are powerful, naturally the world, your mother-in-law will give you face, don't you understand this truth? ”

Chen Wenjin thought about it, then nodded and said, "Mother, I blame you, it turns out that you are all thinking about me." ”

The second lady smiled and stroked Wen Jin and said, "It's good that you know." Why do I want to let Aunt Li give birth to your father, because I really can't give birth to a son, only you have a daughter, your mother's family has no brothers, no support, and you will be angry in your in-law's family in the future. I couldn't help it, so I let Aunt Li out, gave birth to your father, and gave birth to a Wen Hao. As soon as Wen Hao was born, I took him over and raised him personally, and recorded it in my name, which is to let you have one more biological brother, and in the future, you will be raised in one house, and you can be kind to each other, and in the future, I will rely on your brother to support your status in your in-law's family after a hundred years. Didn't you look at the lady in the palace? was already old and unfavored, but it wasn't because of your third uncle, and now his power has risen greatly. Your third uncle and your eldest aunt were born to half-mothers. But your eldest aunt is smart and takes care of your third uncle very much, so now your third uncle is desperately helping your eldest aunt. Isn't that understandable? ”

Wen Jin thought about it and said: "Mother, I understand, in the future, I will definitely be good to Wen Hao, not only to Wen Hao, but also to Wen Hua, Wen Juan and them, so that they can help me in the future." My mother's family is powerful, and my mother-in-law naturally doesn't dare to treat me like this. ”

The second lady nodded with satisfaction, and her daughter finally understood. While he was talking, the maid came to report that Wenhua and Wenjuan had come over.

Wen Jin usually doesn't look at his sister-in-law, but this time, after listening to his mother's teachings, he personally got down from the kang, and then the two sisters spoke. Wenhua, Wenjuan was flattered. Mother and daughter, sisters chatted for a while, Wen Jin took the two younger sisters to her room to play, and when she left, she also gave the two younger sisters two horses of yarn material.

Wenhua and Wenjuan were surprised that they had never received a gift from Wenjin.

As soon as Princess Lichuan finished the affairs of her younger brother who died young, she called Wen Hui and Mingzhu over, and said: "I told my mother what you said last time about the hospital and Yangshantang, and my mother was very happy. Hospital and Yangshantang, she has asked her father for his will, the Ministry of Industry will assist you to build the hospital well, this does not cost us money, but what style to build, you have the final say. Also, regarding the matter of Yangzendang, this father said that now that it is being implemented in the Gyeonggi area, he has already made an order with the officials in the Gyeonggi area, so you can just do it. ”

Wen Hui and Mingzhu were very happy and hurriedly thanked the princess. Princess Lichuan helped them up and said, "Why are you thanking me?" It should be me and the concubine to thank you, this matter will be the concubine's business in the future, and you are all helping the concubine. ”

Mingzhu didn't understand what was going on, Wen Hui had already understood, and said to Princess Lichuan: "Please rest assured, princess, our sisters will definitely handle this matter well, and we must let all the people who have been favored know the kindness of the concubine." ”

Princess Lichuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay." ”

Only then did Mingzhu understand. The three of them went on to talk about how to sell these treasures, how to raise money, and how to open a hospital and a charity hall.

Wen Hui said: "We raise funds, and I have an idea, which is to ask the concubine Niangniang to come forward and invite those good wives to a banquet, and ask everyone to donate voluntarily at the banquet. It's okay not to donate. If there is a donation, let people write down the list and commemorate it in Yangshantang. I think there will be a lady who also donates jewelry, treasures and the like, so it is better for us to wait until all the donated things are collected and then have a grand treasure auction. Celebrities, eunuchs, and wealthy businessmen were invited to participate, and the price was high, and it was explained that all the money raised from these things was donated to Yangshantang. ”

Princess Lichuan was very happy when she heard this, and said, "That's good." First, I was worried that these treasures would be very expensive when they were bought, because there were so many of them that they would be sold cheaply if they were in a hurry, so that if there was an auction, no matter how many treasures there were, they could be sold for a good price. Second, after such a banquet and an auction, there are more people who know that we are doing good deeds, and it is more convenient for us to act. ”

Wen Hui was even more sure of the thoughts in her heart and said, "It's better to ask the princess to leave this matter to me and the elder brother of the Liu family to do it together, and we will definitely handle this matter well." It must satisfy the mother. ”

Princess Lichuan glanced at Wen Hui deeply.
