Concubine Mei was choked speechless.

I only heard Sheng Hong say lightly: "I know the things in the court. The mother concubine is recuperating with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about it. ”

In other words, don't be verbose.

In the past two years, she has repeatedly made things difficult for Xie Mingxi because of her heirs, but she didn't say anything about it, and it also caused a gap between the mother and son. Two years ago, Sheng Hong would never have spoken to her like this.

It can be seen that no matter how deep and thick the affection in the world is, it can't withstand the toss.

Concubine Mei was bitter in her mouth, and said in a low voice: "That's it, I don't talk much." ”

Concubine Mei is a little weaker, but a woman with a weak temperament has her own way of survival. For example, there are vulnerable people everywhere, crying from time to time, and the appearance of "I am useless and have to rely on my son and listen to my son for everything".

In the face of such Concubine Mei, Sheng Hong had to be ruthless, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what movement you hear in the court in the future, the concubine must relax." Trust me to get everything right. ”

She wasn't even allowed to ask.

Concubine Mei's eyes were red, and she nodded slightly.

When Sheng Hong got up to leave, the tears in Concubine Mei's eyes fell, and she said to Qin Se while crying: "It is said that I forgot my mother when I married my daughter-in-law, and this is not true at all. Look at the emperor, now she is the queen with one mouth. Where can I be a mother......

Mother and son are separated, and Concubine Mei is full of pain. These days, I forced a smile on my face, and I don't know how many times I cried in private.

Qin Se was accustomed to the master's style, and sighed secretly while opening his mouth to convince him.

If you know today, why bother in the first place.

The emperor and the queen have been married for more than ten years, and their relationship is deep, and they are as good as a person. Concubine Mei made things difficult for the queen in the first two years, and even if the emperor had more filial piety, he couldn't help but spend it like this.

Now, the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Mei is indeed much more indifferent and unfamiliar.

……

After Sheng Hong left the Hanxiang Palace, he returned to the Jiaofang Palace.

Xie Mingxi glanced at it and knew that Sheng Hong's mood was not very good. These days, every time he goes back to Hanxiang Palace, Sheng Hong is not happy.

Xie Mingxi didn't say a word, and stepped forward with a smile: "Dinner has been prepared, let's go to dinner together." ”

Ah Luo also came over with a smile and shouted affectionately: "Father." ”

The mother and daughter smiled like flowers, sweeping away the sullenness in Sheng Hong's heart.

Sheng Hong held his wife in one hand and his beloved daughter in the other, and went to the dining room with a satisfied face.

After a while, Gu Shanchang also came.

The four of them sat down to eat together, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.

"In the blink of an eye, Ah Luo has been studying at Lotus Pond Academy for four years." Gu Shanchang said with a smile: "This year is the last year, and at the end of the year, it will be the final exam. ”

Sheng Hong smiled and asked, "Aloco has the confidence to take the first exam?" ”

Ah Luo raised her eyebrows confidently and smiled, "Of course. In the past few years, which monthly and annual exams, I am not the first? ”

Xie Mingxi glanced at his smug daughter with a smile, and asked casually, "Are you sure to get a full score?" ”

Arlo: "......"

There is such a genius mother-in-law, who opens her mouth to get a full score or something, which is really depressing.

Seeing Ah Luo's deflated appearance, Gu Shanchang felt quite amused, and opened his mouth to comfort: "The six courses are all full marks, which is really not easy. I have taught students for decades, and the only student who has scored perfect in the exams is your mother. You're already so good that you don't have to compete with your mother. ”

Arlo: "......"

It's even more depressing!

is still Sheng Hong's favorite daughter, and deliberately mentioned his own year: "When I was studying in Lianchi Academy, I often took the first place in the exam. When I entered the Shochiku Academy, I was also the penultimate in the majority. Arlo is much better than I was back then. ”

However, Ah Luo didn't appreciate it very much, and came over with a blank look: "I don't want to compare with my father." If you read a little bit of books, you are better than your father. What is there to be proud of. ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

Sheng Hong covered his chest with his hands and pretended to be distressed: "It turns out that in Ah Luo's heart, I am so useless. ”

Xie Mingxi couldn't help but laugh lightly.

Seeing his father's injured face, Ah Luo regretted his outspokenness, and hurriedly opened his mouth to make amends: "My father is unparalleled in riding and shooting, and arithmetic is also the best." It's a little worse just to read, but it's also very powerful. In my heart, no one can compare with my father's heroic appearance. ”

Sheng Hong was coaxed by his daughter's sweet words and smiled. I was in a relaxed and happy mood and ate an extra bowl for dinner.

……

Ah Luo is very self-disciplined, and since the age of 10, she has completed her schoolwork on her own without the need for someone to accompany her.

The emperor and queen rarely have free time, and they went to the imperial garden to eat and stroll.

The willows on the moon, the night breeze is slightly cool.

Sheng Hong Xie Mingxi held his hands, interlocked his fingers, walked forward slowly, and whispered from time to time.

"You have dismissed eight officials in the court one after another, and I don't know how many people behind your back want to scold you for being a faint king." Xie Mingxi turned his head to look over, his eyes were exceptionally bright in the watery night.

Sheng Hong turned his head and looked at Xie Mingxi, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I don't care what you say behind your back, in short, no one dares to talk more in front of me." ”

That's just as well.

Whoever talks a lot will be unlucky. Eight officials have been removed from their official positions one after another, who dares to touch the mold of the Son of Heaven at this time? Don't you want to mess around in the court?

Isn't it just a change in the law to allow women to set up a female household? Love is standing!

It has become a common practice for women in Daqi to read, and there is no shortage of people with outstanding intelligence. Nowadays, there are more and more women who go to the women's workshop to earn money to support their families, and there are even female generals in the court.

In the past eleven years, the emperor and queen have slowly changed in an orderly manner. The patience of boiling a frog in warm water made everyone get used to the gradual improvement of the status of women little by little.

Now there is one more female household, and after the sudden shock and opposition, the ministers accept this fact, half helplessly and half obediently.

"How are the cabinet elders discussing?" Xie Mingxi opened his mouth and asked, "There are still a few days, and it will be a month." ”

Sheng Hong's eyes flashed, and he replied with confidence: "Several pavilion elders are smart people, and they will not confront me head-on. It is time to negotiate a specific charter. ”

The main thing is that you can't resist if you want to.

A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, half joking and half teasing: "I've been sitting on the dragon chair for a long time, and the momentum of my speech is different." The ministers bowed to him, and the emperor was so majestic. ”

"Of course." Sheng Hong boasted unashamedly: "Civil and military officials, no one dares to play tricks in front of me." ”

Xie Mingxi laughed and teased: "Not to mention the civil and military officials. is in the harem, and the emperor is also full of words. ”

Sheng Hong winked at his wife with a smile: "In the harem, I only listen to the queen's words. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Sheng Hong stopped talking, holding Xie Mingxi's hand and walking slowly. It is like a great social change, slow but sure, and no one can stop it.
