Thank you for your support.

Inside the palace, the emperor listened to Huang Chun's report, smiled and said, "This Chen Yuanheng married a second son and daughter-in-law to make such a big noise." I have already published a few books of the imperial historians here, saying that Chen Yuanheng is extravagant. ”

Huang Chun smiled and said, "If you want to talk about extravagance, it's really extravagant." The slave's men went to Mei's house to see. That's called a dazzling brilliance, piles of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin like a hill, not to mention those gold, silverware, Baoding incense burner. It's really an eye-opener. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "You must have gotten the list of dowry?" ”

Huang Chun was busy with a list, which was long, and the emperor was startled and said: "This is really a big deal, so much, no wonder the imperial history wants to join him." ”

The emperor took a cursory look at it and said, "There are indeed a lot of these things, but there is an interesting phenomenon, that is, they are very practical. Hehe, it's not gold, it's silver, I think it's deliberately taking over the Mei family through the dowry, right? ”

Huang Chun smiled and said, "The slave thinks the same way. It is estimated that anyone with a discerning eye in the capital can see it. Now the capital is full of people who envy the Mei family. Speaking of which, this Mei family, the slave maid went to the slave and maid, and came back to tell the slave and maid, it is really poor, Mei Hanlin is a famous man's character, innocent and has no property, the family has a large population, the place is crowded, and he can't even find a place to entertain guests, fortunately, the Chen family is thoughtful, so that all the guests went to Qinghe Lou to eat, or this Mei family is not ugly. ”

The emperor nodded and said: "Mei Hanlin I know, his writing is very good, his personality is upright, and he can be regarded as a capable person, but it is a pity that he has been suppressed and has no chance to get ahead. Now it's time to be transferred. In fact. The Chen family is so rich, the Mei family is so poor, if the Chen family gives money to the Mei family plainly, Mei Hanlin's celebrity temperament must not be wanted. Taking the opportunity to give the dowry, Mei Hanlin could only accept it, which is a good thing. This illustrates. The Chen family is a family that misses family affection. It's a family of affection, and it's good to be affectionate. I really don't understand what these imperial historians think. If someone has money in the family, can't he give his daughter-in-law a little money? How do you spend it? Do you use it to buy weapons and rebel? ”

Huang Chun saw that the emperor was obviously towards the Chen family, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he had not taken the benefits of the queen and the Chen family in the past few years. I didn't want the Chen family to be unlucky, so I hurriedly followed: "Isn't it?" The slave is a short-sighted woman. But I also know that the Chen family takes out tens of thousands of taels of silver every year and puts them in the hospital, and Yangshantang helps the people, not to mention the Chen family. It's that the county lord of Wenhui takes out tens of thousands of taels of silver every year to do good deeds. Is it possible that the people who don't know each other have the heart of relief, but they don't help the poverty of their in-laws? ”

The emperor immediately said, "Huang Chun, what you said makes sense. It's a pity that such a simple truth. You can understand, but those rotten Confucians don't understand, I have to find an opportunity to call those rotten Confucians into the palace and scold them well. However, I am not free at this time. It's been so long since I watched the excerpt, and I haven't gone to play with the little princess today. Hurry up and prepare, I want to go to the palace of the concubine to meet the little princess. ”

Huang Chun hurriedly agreed. But I thought in my heart that after the emperor fell seriously ill, the biggest change was that he was too fond of the little princess, more than any prince and grandson, that is, he didn't have such a pampering of Princess Lichuan back then.

Huang Chun was thinking about it, and the emperor asked again: "By the way, I forgot to ask, what is the little princess doing here?" ”

Huang Chun hurriedly said: "I just came to Qing to say, the little princess went to play with the prince just now." I should have returned to the palace by this time. If the emperor goes to the palace of the concubine, he will be able to see him. ”

The emperor was very happy and said, "Well, the relationship between the little princess and the crown prince is good." The human heart is made of flesh. A child's heart is the purest. She doesn't look at her status, who she likes to be close to, it must be because of who is really good to her. The prince is very good at this. ”

Huang Chun couldn't help but secretly think, it was really thanks to the blessing of the little princess, the emperor began to like the prince day by day, which was a great thing for Da Chu.

In the queen's palace, Queen Chen did not become arrogant when she became the queen, she was still kind to the people in the palace, and the people in the palace praised her, and the daughter of the Chen family was well cultivated, which was completely different from the previous queen Wang.

Empress Chen was listening to the report of the palace maid Yu'er at the moment, and after half a ring, she said with a smile: "Yuanheng's appointment of the second daughter-in-law this time has shaken the capital. But that's a good thing. ”

Yu'er said: "Queen Mother, now several imperial histories are participating in Lord Chen?" It is said that he is extravagant, and he hired a second daughter-in-law to make such a big battle. Also, many officials said that now the imperial court is still in a difficult period, the war in the northwest continues, many soldiers are still waiting for military salaries, there are still many places in Dachu that have suffered disasters, there are some displaced people who have no way to resettle, and the imperial court can't come up with so much money and grain to resettle the victims. ”

Empress Chen laughed and said, "Are these rotten heads broken?" What kind of family is our Chen family? Our Chen family is one of the four great families, but are we royalty? Is this world ours from the Chen family or the Liu family? What if Yuanheng was like what their rotten Confucians said, he was thrifty, and he didn't do a good job of marrying a daughter-in-law, and used all the money to pay the soldiers in the northwest and distribute relief to the victims? What kind of heart does Yuanheng have? ”

This made Yu'er understand, and Yu'er said hatefully: "It's true, this is all a matter for the imperial court to take care of, what does Lord Chen do to marry his daughter-in-law?" ”

Empress Chen snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it possible that the military salary can't be paid, so the family won't let the family marry a daughter-in-law?" Is it true that if a people are afflicted by a disaster, they will not be able to do happy things in their homes? The imperial court can't pay the military salary, and there is no relief for the victims, whose business is this? Isn't this a matter of the Tobe? It's really strange not to look for the officials of the Ministry of Households, but to find the matter of Yuanheng of the Ministry of Industry, these officials have a bit of brains, they should reflect on it, the court issued them a fortune, they can't even do this idea, this is a waste. It's because they don't do anything all day long, just staring at the trivial affairs of other people's families, and don't care about the people, so they will make the government what it is now. ”

Yu'er nodded.

Empress Chen said: "Don't worry, these rotten people can't make a name for themselves." Our Chen family is too eye-catching now. Yuanheng is already a second-grade real power, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, I am already the queen, and Wen Feng is the crown princess. There are also two concubines in the palace who are from our Chen family. Not to mention, although our Chen family now has no interests in Shanghai City, Chen Wenjun is the city lord of Xinguang City, and he still occupies a territory in the Wa Kingdom. Chen Wenlin and Chen Wenhui also went to Luzon Island and each built a big city, and Wenhui was also the governor of Nanyang. Now that our Chen clan has sent troops to the Silla Peninsula again, seeing that the defeat of Goguryeo and Silla is just around the corner, there are not many people who are jealous of such great power? Aren't royal people envious and jealous? Does the emperor have no thoughts in his heart? It was at this time that Yuanheng married his daughter-in-law and did a lot of things, and the money was spent like flowing water, showing a luxurious appearance, which was actually better, so as to appease the emperor's heart. Our emperor, I'm not afraid that you have money, I'm not afraid that you will spend money, I'm afraid that you won't spend all your time, I'm afraid that you have great ambitions. ”

Yu'er suddenly realized and said, "I said, why is there no movement at all in the Qinzheng Palace?" The emperor received so many excerpts from the imperial history, and he didn't want to condemn Lord Chen at all. ”

Empress Chen smiled and said, "The third brother and the two are both human spirits. They will deal with it, I think, this move of theirs must not be unintentional, it must be planned. However, this also shows that my third brother and sister really like this girl from the Mei family. Yu'er, do you know about this Mei girl? ”

Yu'er hurriedly said the information she collected on weekdays, and in a few words, Empress Chen had an understanding of the Mei family.

Empress Chen smiled and said, "This is where my third brother and third brother and sister are smart. You see that her eldest daughter-in-law is from a businessman, not to mention being the eldest daughter-in-law, even if she is a good concubine in our house, she is not qualified. However, you see that people don't judge heroes by their origins, and they marry them as their eldest daughters-in-law. Now, that Wan can excel and take good care of Xinguang City. Even the emperor praised it. Now, everyone in the capital dislikes that the girl of the Mei family is the eldest daughter of the bereaved mother, Mei Hanlin's official position is low, the family has no money, and she can't afford to give her daughter a dowry, so she is unwilling to marry the daughter of the Mei family. But the three brothers and sisters have a discerning eye for talent, so they are so grandly married. You see, in the future, this Mei Ying will definitely be no worse than Wan's. In my opinion, the third room is not only prominent now, but will definitely be more prosperous in the future. ”

Yu'er smiled and said, "The third lady is indeed a first-class shrewd person. ”

In the past two years, the Bai family has been Queen Chen's right and left hand, and Yu'er has worked with her for a long time, and she knows Bai's ability deeply.

Empress Chen said: "It's a pity, I have three brothers, and the third brother is still a concubine, although he has the same father as me, but he is not the same mother." Neither of the two brothers of the same mother married a virtuous daughter-in-law. Wang's nest bag, no ability, bad temperament, short knowledge. Li's is gloomy, scheming, but unfortunately short-sighted, only thinking about the present, no long-term vision, and narrow-minded, what do you think of raising your children? Really. However, there is still hope for the big house. Chen Wenqi's daughter-in-law, Bai, is a capable and virtuous person. In the future, Wen Qi should be able to support our Chen family. However, in the second room, how did the stupid man of the Li family marry Wen Hao a daughter of the Wang family, hmph, now wait for the defeat. ”

Yu'er didn't make a sound, in fact, she thought so in her heart. This is really a difficult scripture for every family, the queen's maiden family is illustrious, it is the Chen family of the four major families, but this family is also mixed, there are good and bad, there are good and bad, the queen is powerful, but she can't help the things of this inner house.
