The queen smiled and said, "That's right, in the future, these territories should be the territory of the Zhao family." Zhao Honglie is the heir to these domains. But he was a boy, not a girl. Even if he has a sister in the future, the age difference between him and the emperor's eldest son is too far. I can't choose a newborn child to be the eldest son of the emperor as a princess, can I? ”

Lan Ping said: "Naturally, it can't. Lord Wenhui has just given birth to a son, when will he give birth to a second one in the future, and the second one is not necessarily a boy or a girl? How could it be possible to wait for the daughter of the county lord of Wenhui? However, in the future, there will definitely be a Zhao family in the family. The county lord of Wenhui is not allowed to have concubines in his house. The Zhao family of the county lord of Wenhui will not be very prosperous. Now that this Zhao family already has four cities, can't there be a fifth, sixth, or even tenth? I heard that overseas is very vast, not to mention ten cities, even a hundred cities can be established. Then how will the county lord of Wenhui manage in the future? ”

"Of course, Lord Wen Hui can rely on his mother's family. However, the maiden family of the county lord of Wenhui is the Xiao Chen family. Xiao Chen's overseas territory is larger than that of Lord Wenhui. Lord Chen Wenjun's family has two places: Yizhou Island and Waguo. In both places, ten cities can be established. Lord Chen Wenjun does not have many heirs, that is, in the future, his sons and daughters will each manage a city, and they will not be able to manage it. ”

"Lord Chen Wenlin now has four cities. In the future, it will not be difficult to have ten cities, and Nanyang is so vast. But how many children can he have? I can't manage it, where can I help my sister manage it? Who can the county lord of Wenhui rely on? Naturally, he has to rely on the Zhao family slowly. After all, the Zhao family's loyal and righteous family. and the three sons of Lao Zhongyigong are all brothers of the Northwest Duke. ”

"I heard that they also have a good relationship. There are not many children of Lord Wenhui, but there are many children of Zhongyigong. Now there are seven or eight children in the concubines. The Northwest Duke and the Loyal and Righteous Duke have a deep brotherhood. The county lord of Wenhui and the duchess of Zhongyi, Han, had a good relationship when the county lord of Wenhui was not married. After getting married, the concubines also got along very well. There is also a common enemy, the old loyal duchess Mrs. Zhao. In such a relationship, the children born by the Han family, the county lord of Wenhui must also be regarded as a family. ”

"We can't choose the daughter of Lord Wen Hui. Can't you choose a daughter who is loyal and righteous? Among the daughters of the loyal and righteous fathers. There are two who are the same age as the emperor's eldest son. I heard that both of these were born to Mrs. Han. Mrs. Han was born in a famous scholarly family, and she has nothing to say about her upbringing. Moreover, it is different from the average lady of a famous scholarly family. Mrs. Han is very good at taking care of housework. Not only does the Zhongyi Mansion be well organized. back then. When the husband fought the barbarians in the Northwest Tiebi Pass, he also organized women to send cotton clothes to the Northwest Army and wash clothes. Take care of the wounded. The emperor has praised it many times. ”

"A girl brought up by such a mother must be good. Besides, Zhongyi Gong helped the emperor many times for his younger brother Northwest Gong. Once, when the emperor was in the palace, he was criticized by the three princes of the year, and the Duke of Northwest did not beat the three princes, but the Duke of Zhongyi came forward and repelled the guards of the three princes. Protected the Northwest Duke and the Emperor. Although afterwards, Concubine Wan Guifei found trouble with the two loyal and righteous brothers. However, with the protection of the old loyal and righteous princess, Wan Guifei also hit a wall, so she had to give up. Since then, the three princes have rarely found trouble with the emperor. ”

Chen Wenfeng, even if he has been married to the emperor for many years, does not know these things, and today is the first time he has heard of them. It is estimated that these people in the palace know. Back then, thinking about it, Concubine Wan felt that she didn't take advantage, so she didn't leak the news, and the nobles outside the palace didn't know.

Chen Wenfeng thought for a moment.

Lan Ping continued: "If you choose the daughter of Zhongyigong, in the future, she will have a new family, and the support of the Zhao family, coupled with the support of the Xiao Chen family, will not be weaker than the Bai family. Also, the emperor is still grateful to the loyal and righteous prince, and he will definitely treat this daughter-in-law better, which will naturally be beneficial to the emperor's eldest son. ”

Chen Wenfeng nodded and said, "Your suggestion is good." It's better to wait for me to meet a few girls from the Bai family, and then meet the two girls from the Zhao family. However, there are two to choose from, it is better to choose from one, it is better than choosing from one, although what Mingzhu and Lord Liu said makes sense, however, I don't want to rely on this to defeat Bai Guifei. I am more concerned about the future of the emperor than about my favor. ”

"By the way, such a good candidate, you can think of it, how could Lord Liu not think of it?"

Lan Ping smiled and said, "Niangniang, although Lord Liu is loyal to Niangniang, he is more loyal to the emperor. Although Mrs. Mingzhu is loyal to her mother, she has a better relationship with Lord Wenhui. Lord Wen Hui doesn't like the palace. Even if she has a daughter, she will not let her daughter marry into the palace. This idea, come to think of it, Mrs. Pearl is aware. Therefore, Mrs. Mingzhu did not dare to mention it to Xiao Chen's family and Zhao's family. ”

Chen Wenfeng agreed with this sentence very much, and she said with emotion: "The third uncle's family didn't like the palace in the first place. Back then, Wen Hui was the one who should have entered the palace the most. The first emperor also had this meaning. However, the third uncle and the third aunt found the queen mother, blocked this matter, and in order to put an end to the royal thoughts, they also deliberately asked Wen Hui for the title of county lord. The concubine of our family, not to mention the county lord, is the county lord, do you think we are very eye-catching? Isn't this just to not marry into the royal family? ”

"Not only does Wen Hui not like to enter the palace, but she will not let her daughter enter the palace. The third uncle and the third aunt, when they needed help from the palace, they didn't send their daughters into the palace, but now that the Xiao Chen family has grown stronger, can they still let their granddaughters enter the palace? Never mind. ”

Saying this, Chen Wenfeng remembered what the emperor had said to her before when he praised Chen Wenhui. There was some bitterness in her heart. In the emperor's heart, no matter how much he has done, I am afraid that the best woman in the world is Chen Wenhui's. She can't compare to her as a queen, even the emperor's favored white concubine, and she can't compare.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenfeng was a little relieved, anyway, Chen Wenhui was already married, and she was still a good friend of the emperor. The Emperor should not have any other thoughts on his mind. Moreover, because of Chen Wenhui, thinking about it, the emperor will definitely treat the Chen family better. Speaking of which, I'm still naked.

Chen Wenfeng laughed.

In the next two or three years, Chen Wenfeng often summoned the daughters of the family, as well as the nobles in the capital, the scholars, and the girls of the civil and military officials into the palace, or to participate in the tea party, or to enjoy the flowers, or to participate in the poetry club in the palace. The queen mother also rewarded those girls who behaved particularly well. Although it is something small every time, such as palace flowers, palace satin, some small jewelry and the like, it is not worth anything, but this is also the appreciation of the queen mother, which is the supreme honor.

Because, these families are willing to do everything possible to send their daughters to the queen. For this, I didn't go to the Chen family's mansion, the little Chen family, and Chen Wenfeng's two aunts in the capital, Mrs. Linhaibo, and their families. Of course, the relationship that goes the most is Mrs. Mingzhu.

Mrs. Mingzhu is also a kind person, and often introduces some girls from other families to the queen. These people are naturally grateful to Mrs. Mingzhu. The queen was also very satisfied.

After more than a year like this, everyone has reacted, this should be the queen mother choosing a princess for the emperor's eldest son.

In this way, these people, especially those who have been praised and rewarded by the queen, are excited. Who doesn't want to fight, if she can become the concubine of the eldest son of the emperor, then the future will be the crown princess, or even the next queen. It's exciting to think about. So the competition became fierce.

These families have also stepped up their upbringing of girls, and their investment has also increased.

Even the Li family and the Bai family in the family, and the Wang family also took action. Although they all have concubines in the palace now, they are not queens? So where is it important to seize the next queen?

Chen Wenfeng has actually had a candidate in her heart through more than a year of contact, but she is not moved, not only one girl is rewarded every time, but several girls are rewarded at the same time. Anyway, the palace still has these palace flowers, purses, and palace satins.

In this way, these families and nobles are more competitive.

Chen Wenfeng and Emperor Liu Yanle watched from the wall. Liu Yan even praised Chen Wenfeng for doing a good job many times in private because of this. also has more love for Chen Wenfeng. Chen Wenfeng's position is more stable.

This went on for two or three years at once.

The capital is so lively, and the Tiebi Pass in the northwest is also very lively. When the Chen family's mansion in the capital held funerals one after another, the luxurious mansion of the Northwest Duke was indeed full of laughter.

Although winter has come, the house is a silver and white world. However, it was not cold in the house. Zhao Honglie, the eldest son of Zhao Chongyi, the Duke of the Northwest, has been 100 days old. On this day, Zhao Chongyi was entertaining guests in the mansion.

Chen Wenhui has already been out of confinement and also participated in the banquet. However, on such a happy day, Chen Wenhui did not wear a festive red, but wore a light cyan robe. He didn't wear a full head of pearls, but only a few silver ornaments, but they were also very delicate, and they also had pearls with a glittering luster. This is because Chen Wenhui has passed away from her grandfather and grandmother, and she still has filial piety to keep.

However, this does not affect Chen Wenhui's beauty, Chen Wenhui, who is dressed elegantly, may be because of the good postpartum recuperation, she looks plump and white and tender, which is a little more colorful than before.

Zhao Chongyi looked at the full house, looked at his more beautiful wife, and looked at his lovely son, and felt very happy. (To be continued......)
