"Good, good!" There was a sound of talking under the eaves of the water pavilion, and everyone looked intently, only to find that it was the parrot raised by Shen Jiahe.

Shi Xiangyuan and Lu Jiuzhi had a lot of fun, but the two brothers Shen Jiajue couldn't sit still, and they wanted to open their mouths to say something several times, but they swallowed it again.

Only Shen Ronghua knew that they would have to go to the morning court tomorrow, so he took the initiative to ask Pei Yuan to resign: "It's not early, the emperor and the queen want to rest, and we should go back." ”

Jintai poked Pei Hao's arm beside him: "Let's go back early, and we can be companions with the Shen family on the way." ”

Pei Yuan got up and said, "Then let's all go back, I won't leave you any longer, be careful on the road." He took the chief steward to send everyone away, and then helped Shen Jiahe back to the dormitory to rest.

After saying goodbye to the Shen family, Pei Hao sent Yongzhen back to the inn first, but Pei Niting took Yongzhen's hand in the carriage and said nothing to let Yongzhen get off.

When Yongzhen finally got out of the car, Pei Niting also jumped down, she took Yongzhen's hand and asked, "Uncle, can't you go to the palace?" There are many rooms in the palace, and my uncle can choose one to sleep in. ”

Yongzhen couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to coax patiently: "Tingting, uncle will come to see you tomorrow, and you will go to sleep when you go back." ”

Pei Niting cried and refused to let go, Pei Hao said with a straight face on the side: "If you are happy, stay here with your Uncle Yongzhen, and your aunt and I will go back first." After speaking, he pulled Jintai to get into the car.

But Pei Niting didn't follow her into the car as she imagined, but still shook Yongzhen's sleeves, and even discussed with him if she could still drive to an empty room in the inn now.

Pei Hao really had a headache, so he had to turn around and forcibly pull Pei Niting away, and after stuffing it into the carriage, he directly ordered the coachman to go back to the house immediately, forgetting to say hello to Yongzhen.

Just when everyone went back to their mansion to rest, the Queen Mother in Jiuluan Palace was still with her eyes wide open, she asked Zhenzhen to help herself sit up reluctantly, and asked in a hoarse voice: "I heard that Shen Ronghua's family has entered the palace?" ”

Zhenzhen knew that it must be that grandma who was talking too much, so she had to nod: "This will all go back, and the Queen Mother will also rest." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, and after a while, she sneered and said: "He is really good to that daughter, the family banquet that has always only been attended by the royal family has invited outsiders for her, and the mourning family is old and useless." ”

Zhenzhen also felt bitter in her heart, she took the initiative to ask for leave, but Pei Yuan didn't even look at it, turned around and held Shen Jiahe in the palm of her hand and spoiled it, if that person was the one who was spoiled, it was herself......

Zhenzhen was in a trance, and she didn't hear the Queen Mother call herself again for a while, and only after a while did she respond: "Queen Mother, Zhenzhen was just thinking about your lack of dinner tonight, thinking about whether to get you some digestible supper." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand again, signaling Zhenzhen to help herself lie down, "I can't eat, the mourning family is panicking, where can I still eat, let's sleep, if you fall asleep, you won't know anything, and you won't be angry." ”

Zhenzhen secretly rolled her eyes, she didn't eat anything that night, it was also the Lantern Festival, but she was going to starve and freeze here, where had she been wronged like this in the past.

And the emperor really didn't come to see the queen mother after she fell ill, she was really cold-blooded by nature, and sure enough, the heart of the emperor was the same.

Finally waited for the queen mother to fall asleep, Zhenzhen explained to the palace people in the palace, and she covered her hungry stomach and went back to the resting place, but there was still beef sent to her by the queen mother in the small kitchen, and she told the palace people on duty to make a bowl of beef soup for herself, and only after drinking a small half bowl did she feel relieved.

Pei Yuan and Shen Jiahe Ang had just washed up and were lying on the bed, thinking of Pei Niting's attitude towards Yongzhen tonight, and discussed with Shen Jiahe: "I see that Tingting likes Yongzhen very much, if you can set a doll for the two of you, it is also a good thing, Jiahe, what do you think?" ”

Shen Jiahe was shocked, Yongzhen is a lot older than Tingting, although the relationship between the two looks really good now, but now they are all children with temperament, and they don't know what they will become when they grow up, not to mention that if it is really settled, Pei Niting will marry Northern Burma in the future.

"That's your sister's only child, and you're willing to let her marry so far away, maybe you won't be able to come back to see your two uncles once a year." Shen Jiahe himself is his daughter's family, so he will naturally think more.

Pei Yuan didn't think about it so much, and said with a smile: "That is, I suddenly have this idea, isn't this a discussion with you again?" If you don't think it's appropriate, I won't mention it. ”

Shen Jiahe didn't think it was inappropriate, in short, it still depends on the relationship between the two of them, it's too early to say this, besides, she has the thoughts of modern people, so she naturally thinks it's not good for adults to make decisions for their children early, "You wait for Tingting to grow up, if Yongzhen has a heart for her, she will wait for a few years, if the two have no intention, they don't have to match, everything will just go with the flow when they mature." ”

Pei Yuan himself was also on a whim, and he talked to Shen Jiahe for a while, and he dispelled this idea: "What you said is that I thought too little about it, let's talk about this later." ”

The previous excerpts about the expansion of the harem were suppressed by Pei Yuan, and it was proposed that these ministers see that the emperor does not express it, so they directly mention it in the early court: "The emperor is still on the throne, but the harem has been vacant, and it is imperative to expand the harem." ”

"The ministers seconded it!"

It is always said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the harem and the previous dynasty have always been closely related, and people like Shen Ronghua, who want to resign and go home as soon as their daughter becomes the queen, are also the only talents in ten thousand.

Pei Hao glanced at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, most of them were families with daughters of school age, even if they didn't have daughters now, when the emperor was drafted, I was afraid that they would be able to find out what kind of godsister, cousin and cousin or something like that.

He sneered and arched his hand towards Pei Yuan: "Brother Chen feels that this matter is inappropriate, now that the queen is pregnant and the eldest son of the emperor, the draft at this time is bound to increase the worries of the queen, if the queen has any accidents, I don't know that you may bear this responsibility." After speaking, he glanced at them coldly.

Shen Jiajue and others also stood up in time to second, and Shen Jiachen arched his hand and said: "Now is the most important moment for the queen's mother, I don't know what kind of peace of mind my colleagues have in raising this matter at this time?" ”

The person who knelt down before bowed his head and said: "The ministers are for the emperor's consideration, although the queen is pregnant, isn't this something that no woman will experience?" What's more, the emperor wants to draft, and the queen should support it, so why bother to just say that this is the ethics of the Gangchang, and we don't have other thoughts. ”

Pei Yuan quietly listened to the two factions arguing together, and they all knelt down in an uproar after arguing for a long time, but he just smiled and got up and said: "I don't agree with the draft, you all step down, and the dynasty will be dispersed this morning!" ”

After returning to the imperial study, Pei Yuan let out a long breath of turbidity, and the chief manager offered a cup of ginseng tea and persuaded: "The emperor still has to relax, the harem draft is indeed an unchanged thing throughout the ages, if you don't agree, some of them will be consumed with those ministers!" ”

"You don't have to spend it with them!" As soon as the chief manager's voice fell, the two saw Shen Jiahe enter the door and said.

Pei Yuan hurriedly stood up and walked over to help Shen Jiahe aside and sit down: "You know everything?" Don't be angry, they're all pedantic people, and I've sent them all away. ”

On the surface, they were dismissed, but they would not give up in the future, Shen Jiahe knew that being in Pei Yuan's position was also a dilemma, and he didn't want him to suffer such pain alone.

"How can I have the time to be angry with them, I just came to tell you that you don't have to spend any more time with them, so I simply agreed to them." Shen Jiahe said with a smile, "They are all angry now, maybe this will hold a small meeting at the minister's house to discuss how to deal with you, so you don't confront them, and promise everyone to relax earlier." ”

Pei Yuan said seriously: "I promised you, I will never fill the harem with a draft, and the gentleman will never break his word with you." ”

"I know, I believe in you." Shen Jiahe pulled Pei Yuan to sit down beside him, "I am the queen, and the draft should be handled by the emperor, and those ministers said the same thing." Since this is the case, the emperor promised to come down, and the palace will definitely do a good job of this. ”

Pei Yuan stared at Shen Jiahe's face carefully, and saw that she was indeed not pretending to be smiling, and he was relieved: "I'm really not angry!" ”

Shen Jiahe laughed: "It's not that you want to choose a concubine, what do I have to be angry about, they want us to choose, then let's choose it once, and leave everything to me." ”

As if he was infected by the other party, Pei Yuan finally laughed, and now that he thought about it seriously, he was afraid that Shen Jiahe had already had an idea to solve it, so he urged himself to agree quickly.

"So do you have a good idea of when to start? There's always a date to set. Pei Yuan asked.

After the New Year, there will be spring, and Shen Jiahe didn't want to spend more effort when it was cold, so he said: "It's the Flower Dynasty Festival, we should all come down to the draft, they can't still pick and choose in time." ”

After thinking about it, Shen Jiahe = and said: "During the Flower Dynasty Festival, I will hold a banquet in the palace and invite various official ladies of appropriate age to enjoy the flowers, so that even if they can't stay in the palace, going back to marry freely will not affect their reputation." ”

Pei Yuan smiled helplessly, the time had already been picked, it seemed that this idea had been in his heart for a long time, "You still think about them, didn't you think that they all came to rob you of your husband?" ”

"My husband can't be snatched away by anyone, besides, will you let them take it casually?" Shen Jiahe commanded an army, and then couldn't help laughing.

Women in this era are often involuntarily, it is not excluded that there are some who want to enter the palace to live a prosperous and rich life, but there are also some who are forced by their parents to enter the palace, they are all poor people, and they can do something for them when they can, this is Shen Jiahe's original idea.

Pei Yuan wanted to continue to suppress this matter, but seeing that Shen Jiahe looked confident, he naturally intended to cooperate with her: "Since you have thought about it, I will agree, but I still can't agree so easily, I have to hang their appetite for a few days." ”

The queen who dared to bully him naturally couldn't let them have too much fun, Pei Yuan secretly slandered himself.

The couple here have already come up with a good way, and the two Shen Jiajue brothers over there are still angry about this matter, Shen Jiajue couldn't help but scold those ministers at the dinner table, and this matter can't be hidden from the second elder of the Shen family.

Shen's mother wept on the side: "I can stop it for a while, but I can't stop it for a lifetime, I said that I can't send Jiahe to the royal family again, and this kind of thing must happen." ”

"Didn't you praise the emperor for being a good boy at the beginning! Okay, the emperor doesn't want this kind of thing. "Angry is angry, Shen Ronghua, who has been an official for many years, is still more sensible, if the queen is not his daughter today, it is also his share among the ministers who persuade the emperor to fill the harem, in the end, the royal family is like this, and the rules since ancient times are like this.

Shen Ronghua just sighed in the end and comforted: "Don't be in a hurry to be sad, it's better to find an opportunity to enter the palace to comfort and comfort Jiahe in the past two days, I think the emperor and Jiahe both have ideas, maybe they will come up with a way." ”
