Spring is bright in February in the south of the Yangtze River, and the cold tide and cold in Jinling in winter have completely receded. The warm sunlight shines through the light veil of the tent, reflecting on a mature and graceful face, and the light makes Pan Jinlian, who is nearly forty years old, have a layer of hazy gold on her white and delicate skin.

Thirty-eight years old.

Pan Jinlian is the oldest woman in Lu Qian's harem.

In the 21st century, this is an age to take a back seat, let alone in this era.

But what did you say about Lu Qian before? This is a long-term person. Unknowingly, he has used means to waste some experience points, although it is impossible to maintain the appearance of Pan Jinlian and them for a long time, it can delay some aging time.

"Mother......" the maids called softly. Pan Jinlian washed and changed her clothes, and then watched the maids fiddle with her head.

"Mother, this ...... Will it be a little plain? One hesitated for a while, but finally chose to speak.

Pan Jinlian stroked her sideburns, Su Qing? Suqing is good. Elements are net today. "It's not okay to be old at this age, you have to be a grandmother, but you can't compare to the youth and delicate of those younger generations? This palace should also avoid going to this generation. ”

A woman of this age is very different from her teenage self.

In the words of literature and art, they are not too lingering like roses, not too youthful like lotuses, and the whole person has become mature, independent and full of style, restrained and graceful, subtle and public. There will be no jerkiness when I first became a mother at the age of 20, and there will be no one who has reached the old age of middle-aged children and grandchildren.

To put it more realistically, their attention has shifted from Emperor Lu to their children. Emperor Lu's position in their hearts had already retreated from first to second. For them now, children are the most important thing.

After more than ten years of getting along, love and love have already been consumed, and the rest is more warm and affectionate.

This is still because Emperor Lu secretly used means for them, otherwise women in their thirties would be standard middle-aged women in this era,, and Shaohua is no more. They themselves will take the initiative to take a back seat and no longer compete for favor.

I don't believe that looking at the harem of great artists, several favored palace concubines are all in their twenties or early thirties, and those who have not died after the age of thirty have also taken a back seat.

The emperor just thinks of the old love to sleep a few times, how many of them are likely to do a real thing? The palace is full of beautiful little ladies, facing the old woman, pulling up the quilt to chat, reminiscing about the past, talking about children, this is the right way to open.

In this era of marrying in teenagers, in this era when hyaluronic acid, facelift and other means have not yet appeared, the shelf life of women is really shorter than that in the 21st century, which is also an indisputable fact.

Emperor Lu's performance is already good now, the new and the old, and the clouds and dew are all stained.

And he really kept to himself for a few years, and only after ten years of Hongwu did he successively accept a few newcomers.

It's not just about physical and psychological reasons, it's about practical considerations. How can he, who is nearly fifty years old, declare his health to the outside world and the rest of the world? but the newborn children.

This is the cruelty of politics, but also the cruelty of the harem, the red face dies before the old age, this is the correct way to open the harem.

Lu Qian is really good, at least he didn't pull out the ruthlessness, didn't he?

Watching the Qing court dramas of later generations, there are always plots where the old man has tears in his heart but a smile on his face and brings the newcomer to compete for favor with others, but the reason is even more cruel and ruthless.

Besides, don't tell him much love. For a time-traveler like him, the word love is really a luxury. Or in the ancient social environment of China, the word love is really luxurious.

In line with Chinese society and culture, the most suitable way for husband and wife to get along with each other is to raise their eyebrows and respect each other. As for what plaice is deep and unswerving until death, it is extremely rare. At least it doesn't fit in with this book.

And now the original seven concubines of the harem, with the secret help of Emperor Lu, with their excellent foundation, still firmly control the first echelon of favor in the palace, which is also Emperor Lu's 'long love'. Otherwise, how could the concubines who were included in the harem by Emperor Lu in recent years still obediently bow their heads in front of the old-timers, even though they are young and beautiful?

But none of this can hide the fact that children have become more and more of their body and mind.

Human emotions are limited, just like human energy. The more it is transferred to the children, the less it is naturally poured into Emperor Lu. Especially Pan Jinlian and Cheng Wan'er. The former has a slim big girl, and the latter has a baby son who is about to become an adult.

Choose a horse for your own girl and a wife for your son, and the performance of the two of them has become more and more leaky from last year to this year.

Summoning the women of the outer court is more frequent than Fang Jinzhi, and it is not wrong to know the reason inside, and the custody of the harem will set off a big storm.

While combing Pan Jinlian's long hair, the palace maid looked at the beauty in the mirror with a red face, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed: The concubine Niangniang is the Monkey King blessed by God, and she is nearly forty years old, and this crow's feet are on the corners of her eyes. Unlike the concubines and daughters who just came in the palace, whether they are from the Central Plains, Japan, Korea, India, or Nanyang, they are all as fresh as narcissus bones......

Now that Pan Jinlian is dressed as a pure and virtuous ......lady, the maid sighed in her heart. Also, it's time to give way.

At the age of forty years younger, Hugh said that he was in the royal family, that is, an ordinary official and a wealthy gentry, and the housewife was also at this age when it was time for 'self-cultivation'. If the years are gone, how can you still keep the emperor's heart?

The seven concubines themselves also know this. They all have princes and princesses by their side, which is much better than the concubines who fell out of favor in the harem.

Zhao Fujin grew up in the court at a young age and knew very well how huge her father's harem was. There are one hundred and thirty or twenty concubines and female officials with titles, and the number of palace maids without titles is an unknown number.

The concubine who fell out of favor even dared to bully the palace maid.

That's why the children of the harem are so expensive, and if there is no prince, it is good to give birth to a princess.

Pan Jinlian's face was already wrinkled, even if she didn't realize the grace, it was indeed time to retreat.

Combed his hair for half an hour, plus the ornaments, and it was all poured down for an hour. This is because Lu Qian invited Lin Chong and Xu Ning to a banquet today, and Fang Jinzhi, the master of the harem today, will be unwell, so at noon, Emperor Lu will drink with Lin Chong and Xu Ning in front, and Pan Jinlian will accompany Lin and Xu to dine and talk in the back.

And in reality? Isn't this clear that it is a meeting of parents? It's just that Emperor Lu is stronger, and he met with the two parents at one time.

Whether it is the only son of the Lin family or the eldest son of the Xu family, this is the first-class family of the Lu Qi Dynasty.

The two young men are good-looking, and their character is also good, and there are not a few children of wealthy and powerful families in Jinling City, who go to Zhangtai and linger in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and are not at home. Lin Xu Erlang is obviously different from those people. The two are also quite accomplished in martial arts, but they both follow liberal arts, not martial arts. The reason for the two families on the surface is that they have few roots and seedlings, and they are reluctant to throw away military affairs and mix. Actually? Just avoid suspicion.

Lao Tzu is a highly decorated founding general, and if his son still takes the route in the army, he will have a foundation in the army. It's a little unsightly. From Liu Han to Zhu Ming, look at the sons and daughters of the founding generals of the Han Dynasty, how many of them are heroes and heroes, and the blue is better than the blue?

This reason can't be said on the surface, but Lin Chong and Xu Ning let their son do it at the beginning is Wenlu, practice martial arts, one is not to lose the family heirloom martial arts, and the other is to let his son strengthen his body.

After this second generation, when it comes to the third generation, there is no need to tie your hands and feet like this. But if they want grandchildren, they must first have daughters-in-law, right?

Pan Jinlian finally looked in the mirror, looked at the graceful beauty in the mirror, and finally dressed up. "Let's go. Let's go to Your Majesty's. ”

The Lin family and the Xu family, these are all the best choices. is powerful, has a title, and the child himself is also a good person, and Pan Jinlian is not dissatisfied. This is very beneficial to Lu Jin's future after taking over the family.

And her psychology is clear, Emperor Lu is bent on marrying his former brothers. Not only to marry a daughter, but also to marry a daughter-in-law......
