Before and after the Spring Festival, although the Jiangnan area was full of wars, Zhang Lingyang, who was far away in the capital, lived a very comfortable and down-to-earth life.

After entering the wax moon, several good news came from the palace: after Zhang Lingyang's long time of hard work, the four daughters of Gao Guifei, Cao Concubine, He Concubine, and Yan Concubine became pregnant one after another.

For Zhang Lingyang, this is a joyous thing.

After all, who wouldn't want more of their children and grandchildren when they can afford to raise them?

As soon as he was happy, Zhang Lingyang successively promoted Cao Concubine, He Concubine, and Yan Concubine to concubines.

As for the noble concubine, she is already in the position of a noble concubine, and if she is promoted again, she will be the imperial concubine.

Of course, due to various considerations, Zhang Lingyang was not promoted to the position of a noble concubine.

However, many excellent supplements were sent into the noble concubine's dormitory in an endless stream.

It can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the noble concubine's lack of promotion!

Because several concubines were pregnant one after another, this year's Spring Festival, the harem was extraordinarily lively.

Of course, there are unhappy people in the harem.

In addition to those concubines whose stomachs are still shriveled, Empress Dowager Xu is definitely one of them.

Although Empress Dowager Xu has recognized the facts, she also understands that after this, the emperor will definitely be on strict guard against the people of Cining Palace.

can think of her niece Xu Wanming, Empress Dowager Xu still has a headache.

In the Empress Dowager Xu's mind, after what happened last time, she was afraid that she was close to the emperor and had no dignity.

If there is, it's just for show.

Empress Dowager Xu herself has no children and no daughters, she is just a bad old woman, and she has nothing to worry about after her death.

But his mother's family can't help but worry.

What kind of character his younger brother, Xu Ziji, the head of the Xu family, is, I am afraid that no one knows better than the Empress Dowager Xu.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is: mud can't support the wall!

Now that he has completely torn his face with the emperor, there is the word 'filial piety' pressing, the emperor thinks about his own face, and may not do anything to the Xu family before the death of the Empress Dowager Xu.

But what about once Empress Dowager Xu herself is a hundred years later?

Who will take care of the Xu family?

After all, the Xu family did not have the slightest blood relationship with the emperor.

Thinking about it, Empress Dowager Xu felt a headache.

After a few thoughts, the Empress Dowager Xu could only pin her hopes on Xu Wanming, who had entered the palace and became Jieyu, hoping that Xu Wanming could capture the favor of the Son of Heaven and give birth to a boy and a girl, so that even if she died, for the sake of Xu Wanming and the child, the emperor would not take the Xu family well.

But it has been a year since she entered the palace, but Xu Wanming's stomach has not moved at all.

At this time, there was news of the pregnancy of the noble concubine, Cao Concubine, Yan Concubine, and He Concubine in the harem, how could Empress Dowager Xu not be depressed?

"Isn't there something wrong with Wanming's girl's body?" In the mind of the Empress Dowager Xu, among the concubines who entered the palace last year, her niece Xu Wanming was the first to be pampered, and the opportunity to sleep has never been interrupted since then, how could she never be pregnant?

Thinking about it, Empress Dowager Xu ordered Mama Zhou to call Imperial Doctor Li.

Of course, he also called Xu Wanming to his palace......

After giving Xu Wanming a pulse, Imperial Doctor Li replied: "There is nothing wrong with Xu Jieyu's body. ”

"Then why hasn't this girl been pregnant?" Empress Dowager Xu wondered.

"Come to think of it, it's not time yet!" How can Imperial Physician Li say it, he can't say that 'the number of times that the noble concubines have contacted the emperor is several times that of Xu Jieyu, and the chance of pregnancy is naturally much higher'.

Glancing at Imperial Physician Li's face, Empress Dowager Xu guessed the reason.

Otherwise, she would have been in the palace for nothing all these years.

Regarding the emperor's frequent 'nonsense' with noble concubines and others, Empress Dowager Xu naturally heard about it.

At that time, after the Empress Dowager Xu heard about these things, the first impression in her heart was, 'The emperor is too ridiculous'.

Now that I think about it, although the noble concubine and others are ridiculous with the emperor, they are now pregnant.

"Is it difficult, do you really have to do that?" Empress Dowager Xu thought in her heart.

There are so many concubines in the harem, and every month, the number of times the emperor goes to each concubine's palace is only so many times.

If you want to get extra favor, you naturally have to go off the beaten path.

But after looking at Xu Wanming, who was still a little timid next to her, Empress Dowager Xu sighed in her heart: "It seems that I still have to ask the queen for help in this matter!" ”

As a 'mother-in-law', Empress Dowager Xu naturally couldn't wipe her face to beg the queen, so she sent Mama Zhou to Changchun Palace.

In Changchun Palace, when Queen Wang heard Mama Zhou's intention, the corners of her mouth suddenly smiled.

After taking a sip of tea, Queen Wang smiled and said, "It just so happens that there is a prescription for fetal medicine here in this palace, and Mama Zhou can take it and try it." ”

As she spoke, Queen Wang ordered the palace maid in the palace to copy a copy and give it to Mama Zhou.

After Mama Zhou left, the palace maid hesitated: "Queen Mother, this prescription was asked for by the old lady for a long time, why did you give it to Xu Jieyu so easily?" ”

Queen Wang teased Zhao Hao while chuckling: "Even if Xu Jieyu is pregnant, what can she do?" Could it be that Hao'er who can still threaten the palace? ”

"Isn't it, Hao'er?" As she spoke, Queen Wang began to tease Zhao Hao intently, and she didn't get close to the complaints of the palace maid.

It is not unreasonable for Queen Wang to think like this.

Even if other concubines gave birth to princes, Zhao Hao, as the eldest son, is naturally different from others.

Unless, there is a big change in the court, or Zhao Hao is really stupid.

Otherwise, Zhao Hao's position as the crown prince will definitely be nine out of ten.

And that's exactly what happened.

For Zhao Hao, the eldest son, Zhang Lingyang naturally attaches great importance to it.

Although Zhao Hao is not yet a year old, Zhang Lingyang has already begun to look for a suitable master candidate for Zhao Hao in the court.

In his previous life, on TV, Zhang Lingyang was used to seeing the princes seizing the heirs, so he made up his mind early: After Zhao Hao is sensible, as long as he is not particularly stupid, the position of the crown prince will be his.

After all, if he has not decided on the candidate for the crown prince for a long time, the other princes will definitely have different thoughts in their hearts when they become adults.

In addition, the princes' maiden family, who doesn't have some power?

When the time comes, I am afraid that the battle for the heir will be extremely tragic.

Thinking that his sons will fight for the family business of Da Zhou in the future, Zhang Lingyang feels very 'sour' in his heart!

Even if he comes from later generations, Zhang Lingyang has no confidence that he will be able to eliminate the dispute between his sons and his sons.

After all, there are some things that are not transferred by Zhang Lingyang's will......
