Liu Yan returned to his own house, and now, in his own house, the son has been born, and the imperial concubine Chen Wenfeng is dedicated to taking care of the child. Aunt Wang's belly has grown up, and under the strict care of the two maids sent by Chen Wenhui, she is in good health.

In this way, there is only one Li Shuyu left for the woman played by Liu. Recently, Li Shuyu has been the most favored and has begun to become majestic.

Liu Yan was about to raise his feet to go to Li Shuyu's courtyard, but the housekeeper suddenly came to report that Concubine Bai was invited. Liu Yan thought that Bai Yujing had a very strong reaction to morning sickness during this period of time, and she should also go to see her.

Liu Yan came to Bai Yujing's courtyard, Bai Yujing greeted him with a smile, Liu Yan smiled and said, "Yujing, you look very good today." ”

Bai Yujing stretched out her hand to deliver the tea handed by the maid to Liu Yan's hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't vomit today, I feel much better." ”

Liu Yan took a look at Bai Yujing's belly, because it was the first pregnancy, she had not yet bulged her belly, and her posture was still slim. Bai Yujing's face turned red and said, "Lord, the concubine invited the prince to come over because of a few things to ask for. ”

Liu Yan was busy asking what was going on, and Bai Yujing said a few housework, that is, near the end of the year, to give gifts to relatives and friends in the capital. The two of them discussed for a long time, gave the list, Bai Yujing handed it to the personal maid Youmei and said: "You put it away, tomorrow you will personally take someone to open the warehouse to see, some will be used, and if you don't have it, you should hurry up and buy it. ”

Youmei quickly agreed. Liu Yan said: "Yujing, it's really too hard for you to be in charge of these things in the house if you are not well-bodied. It looks like it's coming to the end of the year, and there are more affairs, so just like this, you don't care. Let's raise your baby with peace of mind. This one-child relationship is heavy, you have to be careful. In this case, let's leave the affairs of the palace to the princess to take care of. She's used to taking care of it, and she's a little older in this life. A qiē has a nurse to take care of, and she has nothing to do. ”

Bai Yujing's smile froze, and then she said with a smile: "Actually, I still have two things to tell the prince today. One is this matter, it's inconvenient for me now, it's better to leave the housekeeper's affairs to the princess. Second, I see that the prince is too tired every day, and there is not even a caring person around him. Aunt Wang is pregnant, and the princess has to take care of the house, so I am pregnant again. There is only one Aunt Li left, and there are still too few people in our house. At present, there is a turmoil in the capital, and there are abortions in the prince's family and the three princes' families, which is very detrimental to the growth of the royal family. If at this time, there is harmony in our house, and there are more and more people who are pregnant and giving birth, it will definitely make the emperor look at you differently. ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Yan's heart moved and said, "Well, what you said makes sense. In fact, part of the reason for the father's dissatisfaction with the crown prince is that the prince has no heirs so far, let alone a son-in-law. Even if there is not a concubine, even a daughter, there is not a daughter. ”

Bai Yujing said: "Yes, this is not only the emperor's dissatisfaction with the prince, but even the Wang family is dissatisfied with the prince, if the prince has no heirs, the status of the Wang family's foreign family is also unstable." Then why did the Wang family go to great lengths to support the prince? ”

Liu Yan frowned and didn't speak, but thought in his heart that it was still the princess Chen Wenfeng who was smart and knew the root of the struggle. She arranged for Chen Wenyuan, a chess piece, to be by the prince's side early. Specifically murdering the prince's heir, this trick is indeed ruthless enough, and the effect is ten times greater than their frontal blow.

These things are not understood by Bai Yujing, she originally had her own intentions, thinking of weakening the power of the princess, recently Li Shuyu has been favored, and the princess's power has also risen sharply, suppressing herself, she can't come up with such a strategy to deal with it, who knows, it has caused Liu Yan's gratitude to Chen Wenfeng.

Now Liu Yan didn't want to sit here with Bai Yujing, thinking of Chen Wenfeng's benefits, and also wanting to see the son, he was ready to stand up and leave.

Bai Yujing was a little strange, how to say it well, but the prince was leaving, and he didn't care about going around in circles, so he hurriedly said the topic: "Prince, I have an idea, let's add a few more people to our house, so that the prince will also have someone to take care of, and he can seize the time to spread the branches and expand the royal family, and he will definitely be appreciated by the emperor." ”

Liu Yan's footsteps stopped, thought for a while, and said: "Well, what you said makes sense, it's just that ordinary women can't enter our house as they wish, and this loyalty comes first." Otherwise, leave this matter to the princess, she will definitely be able to handle it, you better raise the baby with peace of mind. I'm going to go to the Princess. ”

Bai Yujing had no choice but to watch Liu Yan walk out of the courtyard. When Liu Yan walked away, Bai Yujing angrily dropped all the tea bowls on the table, and Youmei hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, concubine, be careful of the fetal gas." ”

Bai Yujing said: "Hmph, I worked hard to plan, just to add two people as arms to fight against the princess." This is good, if the prince hands over this matter to the princess, the princess will definitely get her own people in, won't it make me have a few more enemies? ”

Youmei said: "Yes, but don't worry, concubine, since the prince has agreed to enter the people, then the princess can get people in, and you can also be concubines, and then see who can beat whom." ”

Bai Yujing pondered and said: "Well, it makes sense, I can't serve the prince now, but getting a few concubines in and fighting with the princess can be regarded as relieving boredom." ”

Youmei asked, "Is there a candidate for the side concubine?" ”

Bai Yujing said: "I have a candidate, I have a crush on a girl from the Lan family." The Lan family is the right-hand man of the prince and Chen Tingshi, and next year we will cooperate with the Lan family to plant cotton on the land of the Bai family in the northwest, so we must win it over. I saw this little girl when I was a guest at the Lan family before, she was very beautiful, she was even better looking than Aunt Wang, that Aunt Li couldn't compare at all, if she came in, where would Aunt Li be her opponent? ”

Yumei smiled.

Here, Liu Yan has already entered the princess's main room. Since the last time she talked to Liu Yan, Princess Chen Wenfeng has become much more open-minded, and later has a lovely son, so she is naturally satisfied, and gradually has the grace of the princess. When I saw Liu Yan coming in, I was very happy, and I was busy asking the nurse to bring the prince over to show the prince.

Liu Yan and his wife teased the child with great interest, looking like a happy family.

After all, the child was still young, and he was about to go to bed after playing for a while, so the nurse hurriedly took the son out to nurse and sleep.

As soon as the nurse left, Liu Yan said: "Princess, the government affairs in this mansion are approaching the end of the year, and there are more of them, and Concubine Bai is pregnant again, you should accept this." ”

Chen Wenfeng was taken aback, and then rejoiced, Liu Yan finally began to trust her again, and hurriedly agreed.

Liu Yan told Wen Feng a few more things, asked about the manpower left in the capital, and Chen Wenyuan, and stayed in Wen Feng's main house that night.

The next day, Wen Feng's face was spring, lying lazily, and Liu Yan had already gone to the yamen. Here Bai Yujing came to the door to deliver the accounts, Bai Yujing looked at Wen Feng's spring face, and hated it so much in her heart, but she handed over the accounts in a kind manner.

As soon as Bai Yujing left, Chen Wenfeng called his henchman Hongxing and said, "The prince has handed over the affairs of the palace to me to manage." We must take care of it with our hearts and not live up to the trust of the prince. ”

Hongxing was overjoyed and smiled: "It's really good, the prince is finally good to us again." ”

Chen Wenfeng smiled slightly, he finally survived this hard time.

Hongxing said: "It's just a pity for Yuli." ”

Chen Wenfeng's face also sank and said, "How is Yu Li doing?" Do you often go to see her. Take care of her more, she's all for me. ”

Hongxing said: "Yu Li is doing well outside now, and her man cherishes her very much. We gave us a lot of money, and their little life was prosperous. ”

Chen Wenfeng nodded and said, "What is a little silver?" As long as Yu Li is doing well, my guilt is better. By the way, the prince explained one thing, saying that he wanted to add a few aunts to the house. It seems that the prince is going to take advantage of the miscarriage of many princes' wives and concubines in the capital. Actually, this method is really good. We have to brace ourselves and find a few more gentle and lovely ones that seem to be easy to give birth to. By the way, Concubine Bai must not be allowed to interfere, if the person she arranged comes in, we will have a lot of trouble from now on. ”

Hongxing hurriedly agreed: "What the princess said is that I will make a list, and I will choose it among the people we are friends with." In this way, it can also win over the Shilin in Jiangnan to favor the prince. ”

Chen Wenfeng said: "Well, it's best to find a father or brother who is not from the Li family's academy, but from another academy." ”

Hong Xing was stunned for a moment and then said: "I understand what the princess means, Aunt Li has indeed been a little disobedient recently, she is such a stupid person, once she gets grace, she doesn't even take the princess in her eyes." If we let the girl from the Li Family Academy enter the mansion again, it won't make her more powerful, and we won't be able to control it. ”

Chen Wenfeng said: "Yes, that's the reason. Aunt Li has been boasting that she came from a scholarly family all day long, and we have to find a few girls who are also from a scholarly family, who are older than the Li family's academy, more famous than the Li family, and more deeply rooted than the Li family. Looking at it like this, does Li Shuyu dare not to take me in his eyes? And when such a person entered the mansion, I chose him, and he didn't follow me to deal with Bai Yujing, a slut? ”

Hong Xing laughed, she was suppressed too hard by Concubine Bai during this time, it was time to fight back.
