At this time, the palace was preparing for Laba, and the emperor did not react much when he heard the news, but Jin Zhaoyuan was very happy, compared to the prince's wedding, he couldn't ask for a child, and now Princess Wu, this pregnancy has come much smoother.

And above the court, because Princess Wu was pregnant, it also set off a small wave, in order to establish the prince, the position of the prince can not be suspended, and now it is a question of who to set up, at first the courtiers did not dare to make this thing too obvious, after all, the prince's mansion was on fire, and the king died in this way.

But after Princess Wu is pregnant, some people begin to move, if Princess Wu gives birth to a boy, then the position of the emperor's eldest grandson can sit firmly, from the precedent of staying in the king's marriage for several years, this can give birth to a child, give birth to a son, and health is the key.

Jiang Ruyin is now in charge of the phoenix seal, Princess Wu is pregnant, so she naturally ordered someone to send things on behalf of the palace, which also includes the addition of palace mothers, and when it is about to give birth, there is also the assignment of servants such as the adoptive mother and the mother.

Jin Zhaoyuan, as the biological mother of King Wu, also sent a lot of things over, this time it really responded to what Concubine De said, and she walked under her feet, which was as good as she could seem

After Laba, the heavy snow in Lin'an City has accumulated a thick layer, the queen was locked up for several months, and when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Jiang Ruyin went to Jingren Palace to see her once.

also went as usual, showed the token, and the palace mother guarding the gate of Jingren Palace let her in, and Jiang Ruyin took Qingdong and Zixia inside.

This Jingren Palace, now it is like a cold palace, the king is dead, the queen is imprisoned, how many people are in the palace, this wind rudder turns, the originally beautiful courtyard in Jingren Palace, after being covered by heavy snow, no one has cleaned up the road, and it looks depressed.

All the way through, there were palace grandmothers guarding them, and when they arrived at the queen's residence, the palace grandmother opened the door to Jiang Ruyin, and there was a unique scent of Buddhism in the house.

The outer house has not changed much, and a small Buddha statue is enshrined in the inner room, and the queen is dressed in plain clothes, and she kneels there, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and chanting something in her mouth.

Jiang Ruyin saluted her, and the queen turned around and looked at her with a calm expression, "Why does the concubine have time to come over." ”

There was only one serving palace lady beside the queen, and she brought a stool to Jiang Ruyin, Jiang Ruyin sat down and said, "The concubine has something to ask the mother." ”

The queen stopped the movement in her hand, the Buddha beads were put into her wrist, and the smile on her face was very quiet, "Now that the affairs of the harem are all decided by the concubine Niangniang, why do you need to go to the palace to ask for instructions." ”

"For the sake of staying in the king's house." When the queen heard this, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly passed away, Jiang Ruyin took the booklet from Qingdong's hand, "There are two side concubines living in the palace now, and there are twelve belovers, a few days ago, the side concubines and the families of several belovers came to the palace to ask for concubines, and the king has passed away, can you take them home after keeping filial piety." ”

The husband of the family dies, if there is nothing to do, if the wife wants to take her back to remarry after a year of filial piety, the husband's family can not stop her.

Liuwang is the prince, these side concubines, speaking of which are also royal daughters-in-law, it is difficult to remarry, after all, there is still a royal face, but it is also a reasonable thing, there are so many lovers in the palace, many of them were just sent in a few years ago, and they probably did not accept the grace, so let these women stay in the palace all their lives, but they can't bear it.

Jiang Ruyin did the main thing in the harem, and in this matter, the queen is the biological mother of the king, so she naturally wants to ask her what she means.

"Why, it's only been a long time, and these people are in a hurry to remarry." The queen's voice suddenly became cold, "A fire burned down the prince's mansion, who can prove that it was my son who burned to death, a piece of jade pendant was buried, and the king is still alive!" ”

Jiang Ruyin was stunned, and the queen snorted, "Since my son is still alive, then these people will obediently stay in the palace of Liuwang, they are born as my son's people, and died as my son's ghosts, remarry?" Hmph, my son's reputation can't be tarnished by them. ”

The queen was so convinced that King Liuwang was still alive, and prayed that King Liuwang would return as soon as possible.

"If you still talk about these things, the palace doesn't agree, please go back, concubine." The queen directly gave the order to evict the guest, Jiang Ruyin moved her mouth, and finally didn't say anything.

She came to ask for instructions today, just to ask what she meant, and when the time comes, the family members of the side concubine and the beloved will ask the emperor, do they still care what the queen thinks here.

But Jiang Ruyin can't say that King Liu's death is dead, don't deceive yourself anymore.

The days of Jingren Palace are like this, there is no hope in my heart, how can I support it...

Another year, the palace dinner in the Chinese New Year's Eve, sent away the Empress Dowager, Jiang Ruyin sat on a high position, and all she heard was compliments to her, and this position was reserved for the Empress in the past.

Now, except for the identity of the queen, she comes to everything as a queen.

At the end of the program on the stage, the first fireworks outside the palace were set off, and everyone went out of the palace to watch the fireworks, which was the same every year, and nothing changed.

The only difference is that for her, the ladies of the family who entered the palace today brought twelve or thirteen-year-old Miss Chang over, and she saw a lot of them when she greeted her before the dinner.

King Cheng will be fifteen years old after the New Year, and it is still early to get married, but the marriage is to be put on the agenda, whether or not he can become a princess, in addition to the emperor's final say, this has left a good impression in front of the concubine, and the opportunity can also increase a lot.

Jiang Ruyin glanced at Concubine De, who was sitting below, and laughed at her, "Why don't you go out and have a look." ”

Concubine De was lazy, "It's like this every year, what's so beautiful, but these young ladies in the past few days have seen enough." At the end, she looked back at the ladies who were sitting opposite and didn't leave, and said to Jiang Ruyin, "No, if you don't leave, you won't leave, stay here and show you." ”

Later, Jiang Ruyin set off to stand outside the hall for a while, and these ladies came out with their children, intentionally or unintentionally, and the purpose was obvious.

After returning to Zhaoyang Palace, Su Qianyang came over late at night, with a smell of wine on his body.

Jiang Ruyin waited for him and didn't sleep, took off his coat for him, and urged him to take a bath, but Su Qianyang refused to go, insisting that she lean on the couch, he lay there with her body on his pillow, squinting, and his mouth was full of wine when he spoke.

"How much have you drunk?" Jiang Ruyin laughed, this is a drunken madness.

Su Qianyang squinted and put her hands on her chest and put them away, "It's comfortable to lean on like this." ”

Jiang Ruyin reluctantly took the hot handkerchief from Qing Dong's hand and wiped his face for him, "It's only comfortable to lie down after bathing, you take a bath first." ”

I finally persuaded him to take a bath, and there was another toss in the bathroom, and when he was dressed and sent to the bed to lie down, it was already more than half an hour later.

Su Qianyang would still pull her to prevent her from changing her wet clothes, and Jiang Ruyin was sure that he was really drunk.

It didn't take long for him to fall asleep, Jiang Ruyin was able to take a break to change his clothes, and sent Qingdong to go outside and ask Chen Feng, tonight's dinner in the front hall, the emperor did drink a lot, and later Prince Ping and several ministers toasted, and they all took it, so he was drunk.

Jiang Ruyin lay on the bed, and Su Qianyang, who was sleeping, felt her lying down, wrapped her arms around her, and leaned her head on her shoulder.

Men are sometimes like children...

Time flies, after the busy beginning of the year, it will soon be the April election, there is no more people in the palace, and the final selection of the show girls is finally given to the emperor to marry.

The days in the palace are particularly quiet, and in the blink of an eye the summer solstice, the weather is very hot in July, and the day of Princess Wu's birth is also approaching.

Jiang Ruyin sent the palace mother and the adopted mother of the faction to the Wu Palace, which was the first time that the royal family welcomed the eldest grandson in the real sense.

One morning in mid-August, Princess Wu launched, and when it was dark at night, Princess Wu gave birth to a daughter smoothly, what others thought Jiang Ruyin didn't know, when the news of Princess Wu's birth of a daughter reached this Zhaoyang Palace, she was very happy to see the emperor, and immediately gave her a name, named Su Manjian.

Chen Feng immediately announced the name given by the emperor to King Wu's mansion, and also brought the reward in the palace, Princess Wu gave birth to the emperor's eldest granddaughter, so she naturally got a big reward.

Then, Su Qianyang discussed with Jiang Ruyin about the marriage of the king.

Su Qianyang and Jiang Ruyin talked about the women of the two families, the eldest lady from the Zheng Gongfu and the eldest granddaughter of the Dehou Mansion.

Jiang Ruyin thought about it, her expression was slightly stunned, these two families acted very low-key in the court, the most prosperous period should be the time of the ancestor emperor, although there is no prosperity of the Jiang family and so on, but its heritage is very deep, in the past, my grandfather only had some friendship with the old marquis of Guide, this Zheng Guogong Mansion and Guide Marquis Mansion are not in Lin'an City.

"When the ancestor died, the court and China were in turmoil, these two families did not participate in the battle for the throne, and they did not support any prince at that time, so after the father ascended the throne, these two families were not reused." No reuse does not mean that people are not capable, when the ancestor emperor died suddenly, many ministers are carrying the whole clan to withdraw from the battle for the throne, now these people are considered famous families in various places, there are officials in the court, and there are also important positions in various places, because they are low-key, so they are not eye-catching.

In other words, with such a background, the children raised must also be excellent.

And marrying the women of these two families is more low-key and proper than marrying the daughter of a family who is now in the limelight in the court.

King Cheng's position among the princes is already the highest, and what Su Qianyang wants is to steadily add chips and have a low-key and powerful wife, so that the road ahead can be more secure.

Jiang Ruyin can't see this, although the emperor didn't explain half a sentence, just from the choice of Princess Wu and Princess Cheng, it is enough to know what he means.

"The emperor knows these two families better than the concubines." Before Jiang Ruyin finished speaking, Su Qianyang stretched out his hand to stop her words, "In your opinion, which one is suitable." ”

According to what she sees, it is naturally more suitable to be the eldest granddaughter of the Hou Mansion of Guide, the old Marquis of Guide is old, if the marriage is decided, the Marquis of Guide will be passed on to the eldest son, and the Marquis of Guide after inheriting the title will be able to take office in Lin'an City logically, and the Hou Mansion will be able to move back to Lin'an.

"The concubine thinks that it is more suitable to return to the eldest daughter of the Fan family of the Dehou Mansion, and my grandfather also had some friendship with the old marquis back then." Jiang Ruyin thought for a while and said.

Su Qianyang smiled, "It's the same as I thought." ”
