As soon as Qin Tai and his wife left, they met a person, a person they didn't expect. This person is not burly, but he gives people a suppressed momentum. This person looks very majestic, but he is very polite to Qin Tai and his wife. This person may have seen Qin Tai's displeasure, so he ignored Qin Tai, and he talked to Zhan Xiaoxin. He has a younger brother and sister, and he is called Zhan Xiaoxiao without a little temper. This person is Feng Bao, one of the most famous people in the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch who holds the seal of the seal, that is, the cow man who is now known as the ancestor in the palace. He has a good personal relationship with Qin Tai and his wife, and he is the godfather of Qin Tai's second son, so he calls Qin Tai his elder brother and Guan Zhanxiao his younger brother and sister.

Qin Tai and his wife originally wanted to say goodbye to Feng Bao and go back to their hometown, but they didn't expect to meet Feng Bao here. Zhan Xiaoxiao knew that her husband Qin Tai was in a bad mood, so she took the initiative to tell Feng Bao that their husband and wife wanted to go back. But Feng Bao was not in a hurry at all, and he had no intention of keeping Qin Tai and his wife. Zhan Xiaoxiao thought that Feng Bao was the same as Zhang Juzheng, and wanted to break off the relationship with his family. Feng Bao told Qin Tai and his wife that the two of them couldn't go, even their henchman Qiu Xiaoqiu. Feng Bao said that this decision was not made by him, let alone by Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, but by the current Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li issued an order to invite Qin Tai and his wife and Qiu Xiaoqiu to enter the palace in time, and Feng Bao came to convey Yi's decree.

Qin Tai and his wife were very confused about Empress Dowager Li's decision, and Empress Dowager Li had gradually ignored military affairs over the years. It turned out that when the little emperor was young, Empress Dowager Li, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao supported the imperial court. Later, Zhang Juzheng's power became more and more powerful, and Feng Bao gradually handed over his rights to Zhang Juzheng, or returned them to the Empress Dowager Li. This became a situation in which Zhang Juzheng controlled the court situation and Empress Dowager Li controlled the harem. When the little emperor grew up, Empress Dowager Li felt that she should let her son take power, so she handed over her power to her son little by little. After the little emperor gradually took control of the palace, he wanted to meddle in the affairs of the court, but let Zhang Juzheng come back. In order to let the little emperor do his job as soon as possible in the future, the Empress Dowager Li tried her best to support her son and wanted to get the power back from Zhang Juzheng. Especially to give an edict to outsiders like Qin Tai and his wife, this is something that Empress Dowager Li would not do easily back then. Qin Tai and his wife immediately realized that there might be a big problem in the palace, something that could only be completed by someone like Qin Tai and his wife who solved the case.

Feng Bao not only came by himself, but also brought some changes of clothes and a carriage. Qin Tai and his wife could change their clothes in the carriage, after all, they wanted to see the most noble Empress Dowager Li of the Ming Dynasty. Zhan Xiaoxiao went in to change her clothes first, and Qin Tai and Feng Bao did not communicate when she was changing her clothes. Because this is still Zhang Juzheng's territory, Zhang Juzheng will know their every move immediately. Feng Bao knew from Qin Tai's face that this stubborn old brother Qin Tai had completely fallen out with Zhang Juzheng. Feng Bao is a servant of people, and he is the most observant of words and feelings, and he also knows that Zhang Juzheng has changed over the years, but he can't change Zhang Juzheng.

Zhan Xiaoxiao changed his clothes and came out, and Qin Tai got into the carriage alone to change his clothes. Feng Bao and Zhan Xiaoxiao started chatting in their own unique way. Jinyiwei, as a spy agency, has its own contact information, although Qin Tai also understands it, but he is not proficient. Zhan Xiaoxiao was quite familiar with this, so he used a beating method that no one cared about, and talked to Feng Bao on the side of the carriage. Zhan Xiaoxiao told Feng Bao that Qin Tai had already had a showdown with Zhang Juzheng, but unfortunately Zhang Juzheng couldn't listen. Since then, Xiao Ping'an has lost a godfather, and Qin Tai has lost a friend. Zhan Xiaoxiao also asked Feng Bao about the true intention of Empress Dowager Li to summon their husband and wife. Feng Bao told Zhan Xiaoxiao in an extremely secret way, hoping that Zhan Xiaoxiao and his wife would pretend to be deaf and dumb and try not to interfere in royal affairs. Of course, Feng Bao also briefly explained what happened, so that Qin Tai and his wife had a certain amount of preparation in their hearts.

It turned out that this matter had a certain relationship with Zhang Juzheng, and in the sixth year of Wanli, the queen mother of the two palaces was drafted for the new emperor, and Zhang Juzheng suddenly intervened. Finally, under Zhang Juzheng's strong intervention, the queen Wang, the concubines Liu and Yang were selected. The Wang family, who had nothing, became the empress of the Wanli Emperor, the Liu family, who was still okay with family affairs, was named Concubine Zhao, and the Yang family, who was born as a military general, was named Concubine Yi. It just so happened that these three people were elected one by one, Zhang Juzheng, Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li. Zhang Juzheng chose a girl with no talent, no appearance and no background. Empress Dowager Chen chose one that looked more wealthy, and Empress Dowager Li chose one that was more eye-catching. Originally, the little emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Li, chose the Yang family to be passable, and her family background was not bad, but the bad thing was that this girl was too greedy and ate bad stomach. Although Zhang Juzheng did not embarrass the Yang family because of the face of the Empress Dowager Li, he still asked the Yang family to re-learn the palace rules on the grounds that the Yang family was not familiar with the palace rules. Several eunuchs catered to Zhang Juzheng and deliberately tortured Yang's general's queen into a sick man, and soon after Yang died before he had time to get the favor of the little emperor. Because the little emperor hated Zhang Juzheng, he and the queen Wang family have never had a round house. Although the Liu family, chosen by the Empress Dowager Chen, had contact with the little emperor, the little emperor did not like her, and the Liu family had no heirs.

Although the little emperor understands personnel, he has no favorite object, so he does not live happily. Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen were anxious to be grandmothers, so they added aphrodisiac ingredients to the little emperor's diet, causing the little emperor to be a little hypocritical. In this case, the little emperor did something unexpected to everyone. At the same time that Empress Wang's maid revealed that she was pregnant with the little emperor's child, Empress Dowager Li's combing palace maid Xing'er suddenly found out that she was pregnant. The pregnancy of the palace maid is a very serious matter, especially the people around the Empress Dowager Li, everyone thinks that this palace maid has a personal affair with a certain imperial relative or guard. But this apricot insisted that this child was the little emperor's, and the Empress Dowager Li didn't believe this palace maid, but for the sake of safety, she sent Feng Bao to ask her son about the little emperor. The little emperor didn't admit it at first, but just when Empress Dowager Li decided to deal with this lying palace maid seriously, Xing'er came up with evidence that was absolutely favorable to herself. It turned out that one day the little emperor came to his mother's harem to greet the Empress Dowager Li, and happened to meet the Empress Dowager Li who was reciting scriptures for the first emperor. The little emperor met the palace maid Xing'er who combed the hair of the Empress Dowager Li in the palace of the Empress Dowager Li, who was almost twenty-three years old at that time and belonged to a mature woman. The little emperor just took a large amount of aphrodisiac ingredients, and he was lucky with the apricots. When the little emperor was confused, he indiscriminately promised Xing'er to be a concubine in the future, and Xing'er asked for a guarantee, so the little emperor gave Xing'er a jade pendant. This jade pendant that the little emperor carried with him was not only known to the people around the little emperor, but even the Empress Dowager Li knew it very well. With this piece of jade apricot, it is clear that Xing'er is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the little emperor, that is, the grandson or granddaughter of Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li arranged for someone to take care of Xing'er, and at the same time asked the little emperor to give Xing'er a name. But the little emperor was reluctant to have this child because his lies were exposed, and Xing'er's status was low. Empress Dowager Li was angry, so the little emperor agreed, as long as Xing'er gave birth to a son, she would give Xing'er a name.

Not long ago, the queen Wang's personal palace gave birth to a baby girl, and she was the first child of the little emperor, that is, the eldest princess of the Wanli Dynasty. A few days later, Xing'er also gave birth to a baby boy, which was the first grandson of Empress Dowager Li and the eldest son of Emperor Wanli. The little emperor was not happy about the birth of this son, and he didn't even look at his son. The little emperor directly asked Xing'er what status she wanted, but he actually forced Xing'er to make a decision. According to the royal rules, if Xing'er is named a concubine or concubine, the child cannot be raised by Xing'er's biological mother, and Empress Dowager Li was also like this at the beginning. If Xing'er takes the initiative to give up her name, she can take care of her son as a palace maid. Xing'er almost didn't hesitate to choose the title of concubine, and she asked the little emperor to give her a concubine title. This does not mean that Xing'er only thinks about her own glory and wealth, Xing'er is actually for her son's good. All the wealth of a child before he reaches adulthood comes from his mother, and the status of any prince except the crown prince depends on the position of the biological mother. Xing'er's son is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is the most likely person to be the crown prince, and he can't affect his future because of his biological mother's low status. Xing'er would rather sacrifice her family relationship with her son than let her child have no future in the future. The little emperor was very angry and named Xing'er as Concubine Gong, and at the same time ordered Xing'er to be imprisoned and forbidden to contact her children, and the little emperor would not be close to Xing'er.

After Empress Dowager Li became a grandmother, she loved this grandson very much, but she always felt a little weird about that granddaughter. Empress Dowager Li asked Feng Bao privately if this baby girl would not be the blood of the little emperor. Feng Bao investigated this palace maid privately and didn't find anything wrong, but Empress Dowager Li was still not at ease. After the news of Qin Tai's husband and wife's visit to Beijing, Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but have the idea of letting Qin Tai and his wife investigate this eldest princess. Feng Bao knew that this matter was very serious, so he privately warned Zhan Xiaoxiao and asked them to try not to take care of it. Although the biological mother of this eldest princess is just a palace maid, behind this palace maid is Queen Wang, and the nominal mother of the eldest princess is Queen Wang. Once it is found out that the eldest princess is not the blood of the little emperor, this problem will involve the queen and the queen. Originally, the emperor and queen were already at odds, and if the problem was found, the little emperor would really find a reason to abolish the queen. Empress Wang was chosen by Zhang Juzheng, and abolishing Empress Wang is equivalent to breaking with Zhang Juzheng, which is very unfavorable to the little emperor. No matter what Feng Bao said, he was also the little emperor's father and a servant of the royal family, and he didn't want to see the little emperor and Zhang Juzheng fall out.
