Chapter Ninety-Six: Pan Lang Returns
If His Majesty the Emperor has no heirs, the court will not be in chaos for many years.
"Husband, I was confused, you said that Your Majesty didn't like His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and he didn't want to see him, but then he gave His Royal Highness the title of Crown Prince, last year he was assassinated by assassins, and His Majesty also stood up for him, this year, didn't you say that on the first day of the first month, His Royal Highness the Great Prince was summoned by His Majesty? All of this should be for the better." Gan Tang really couldn't figure out the context of these things, and his brows were furrowed.
"Back then, Wen Shu's life was guaranteed by the third uncle's mother, and the prince was also persuaded by the third uncle's mother, and now His Majesty wants to keep Wen Shu's life, and my father said that Wen Shu has grown into the prince in His Majesty's mind, and His Majesty has no intention of changing the prince...... But I can't see that His Majesty treats Wen Shu as a prince, and the woman in the prince's house has always had an ordinary family background?"
Lu Xun's tone was indignant, but Gan Tang was shocked that His Majesty the Emperor had such a relationship with his third uncle.
Gan Tang used to be young, and in the past few years in Xichuan, because he often played together with his friend Concubine, and the third aunt liked Concubine, so the two often stayed in the third uncle's motheryard for a day.
At that time, her biggest impression of her third aunt was that she had a poisonous tongue.
She is not good at poetry and songs, and the third aunt said that she didn't know a single big word, and she was vulgar and formless, Gan Tang couldn't ride a horse and shoot arrows, and the third aunt said that she was a showman.
That is to say, she has a big heart, and she is not afraid of her third aunt when she is scolded, otherwise Gan Tang would have avoided her third aunt a long time ago.
The year before last, there was a lot of turmoil about the marriage, and the Bian family, in order to be lenient, said a few simple words to her, such as His Majesty the Emperor regards his third aunt as a sister, and His Majesty the Emperor has nothing to disapprove of what the third aunt thinks.
Later, the third aunt sent two letters to Yan Long, and it didn't take long for Gan Tang to be ready to get married, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Great Prince's later initiative to send the marriage decree to Xichuan, as long as there was another half a month, Gan Tang would have married in Xichuan.
"Your Majesty believes in my third aunt like this?" Gan Tang had a bit of a mess of ideas in her heart, but as soon as she turned her head, she threw these thoughts out of the clouds.
If His Majesty liked the third uncle, he didn't ascend the throne back then, and he could accept the third uncle as a concubine, how could he let the third uncle marry thousands of miles away.
"Qingqing, Your Majesty is actually a special person who protects your shortcomings, do you remember that last year, the Military Inspection Office falsely accused you of bringing a sergeant into Yanlong City in violation of regulations, and His Majesty was already very partial to the Bian family.
Later, the county lord of Qixiang, whom you regarded as your aunt, went to Your Majesty to complain, saying that the queen mother and Jin Jiye's wife were disrespectful to her grandmother, and Jin Jiye's wife was still talking to her, very rude, and let His Majesty call the shots for her.
Not long after, His Majesty punished the queen's mother for grounding, and also ordered Jin Jiye's wife Qi not to enter the palace to say something to the queen unless it was a New Year's Day, even the Qi family's maiden Qi Hou Mansion was also reprimanded by His Majesty."
Gan Tang put down the ink ingot and asked instead, "Husband, do you know that the queen has found those women for His Royal Highness the Great Prince?" Tell me that when I go to the meetings of the women in the house, I will pay more attention to those houses."
Lu Xun now doesn't know what kind of little lady Fu Wenshu will find to be a wife, but in fact, he is still busy now.
His Majesty the Emperor is not ready to reinstate Fu Wenshu's throne as the prince of the East Palace, but he also does not want him to marry a wife as a prince, then he will be thoughtful for Fu Wenshu, at least let Fu Wenshu be crowned the throne, if there is a title, it is the best, if not, there will be no first, in short, what is the fifth-class title of the prince and uncle, as long as Lu Xun can still struggle, he will try his best to prevent His Majesty from sealing the title of Fu Wenshu.
Because only the higher Fu Wenshu's status, even if the queen is in the way, the identity of the woman who matches Fu Wenshu will also be higher, and the resistance of Fu Wenshu to return to the East Palace in the future will be smaller.
……
Lu Xun went home from the beginning of two or three days to now five or six days to take the time to go back once, sometimes even if he went back and didn't live at home, just hurriedly ate a meal and left, Gan Tang knew that Lu Xun was afraid that she was alone at home and cranky, so he hurried back once in five or six days, so that she could see him with all his beards and tails, and he was always accompanied by the peace charm she asked for him, which relieved her heart.
The time is scorching into June.
If it's getting hotter and hotter today, people who are dry don't even want to go out.
Gan Tang takes
Fan the wind while looking at the faint sheep intestine path.
Now Gantang's life, when there is a party invitation, she actively participates, when there is no party invitation, she is at home with the Duchess of Yanguo and also has to learn to take care of the house's four sisters to manage the huge Yanguo Mansion, if she is free, she will also make some convenient food, sometimes it is for her husband who has been back for a long time to come back to the house to carry around, when she has free time to eat, sometimes it is the people in her courtyard to share the food.
However, even though Gan Tang lived a very fulfilling day, every day at lunch and dinner, she would stand under the porch and look at the green brick path and sheep farm path, and after the meal time, she would deal with the family affairs like a nobody, take care of her younger siblings, attend banquets, and inquire about the news that the ladies of each family heard from their husbands at the banquet.
On this day, Lu Xun came back, at that time Gan Tang was in the courtyard of the Duchess of Yanguo, and the sister-in-law in the lobby who had just given birth to a little Langjun and finished the confinement in the Weiyong Marquis Mansion next door was also there.
Several people were originally discussing the wedding ceremony of Gan Tang's maiden sister Gan Chun after mid to late July, but suddenly heard that Lu Xun had returned, and the Duchess of Yanguo and Gan Tang were all happy.
The Duchess of Yanguo took the initiative to relieve Gan Tang Wai and asked her to see if Lu Xun needed to carry something out, Gan Tang hurriedly saluted and exited the room.
After Gan Tang left, the sister-in-law in the lobby hugged her child, who was just a full moon, and said with a light smile, "Second uncle, brother-in-law and uncle have a deep friendship between husband and wife, if they have children, I'm afraid they can't even take care of the children. It's just that my brother and daughter-in-law have been in the door for almost a year, why hasn't there been any news yet?"
The Duchess of Yanguo looked at the little baby, if she hadn't known that her son was precious to his daughter-in-law, and that his daughter-in-law was giving birth to a child at the best time in her body, she really couldn't help but be jealous at this moment, "Tang'er is young, and it is good to be pregnant with her two years later."
"Youqing, you have a good pregnancy in this child, and you have a man in one fell swoop, and the child looks strong, if you want to recuperate well and get pregnant again, but the concubines in your room are not peaceful, you had better have two concubines and let them get pregnant, otherwise your young son will suffer in the future." The Duchess of Yanguo sincerely suggested and also changed the topic.
Mao Youqing teased the child and said lightly, "Second uncle, I have been in charge of the inner house of Mao's mansion since I was a child, my father favors the concubine, and even a concubine dares to bully my three sisters and sisters, I have long been used to their methods, and I am not afraid to deal with the concubine.
It's just that there are a lot of things going on at home now, so I'll raise this child first, and I'll be pregnant when the situation is more stable, otherwise my heart will always be empty."
Mao Youqing is a good housekeeper, but she has grown up, from her mother's family to her mother-in-law's family, there is no one to rely on, she has long been accustomed to carrying everything by herself, she really can't share her energy during her pregnancy, she can only ask for help from the second room of the Lu family, which has a gap with her husband, she is actually very unstable.
Even if she knew in her heart that her second uncle and sister-in-law were not greedy for the Marquis of Weiyong's mansion, she had to rely on her husband to live after all.
Not to mention anything else, if the husband doesn't like her, how can she have children, she has to firmly grasp the husband's heart, so that those concubines can't turn flowers under her hands, she will never let her children suffer the hardships she has suffered as a mother.
"You are a good boy, your mother's brother and sister have grown up now, the little woman in your backyard can't bully them, when your mother's brother and daughter-in-law enter the door, if the little woman still dares to hold the middle feed and not let go, my Lu family will not die."
Mao's inner house, since Mao Youqing's mother and stepmother passed away successively, the original capital was fine, but when Mao Youqing was ten years old, that is, ten years ago, Mao Youqing's father suddenly doted on a concubine like crazy, so that the concubine gave birth to children one after another, not to mention, he actually favored the young concubine in a grand manner, as long as the concubine has a concubine, and the concubine who does not have a concubine can also have it in private.
Originally, Mao Youqing planned not to marry in this life, and to guard the family business for his younger brothers and sisters, but at this time, the Duchess of Yanguo came to Mao's house and said that she would hire her as the wife of the Marquis of Weiyong.
I think that Mao Youqing agreed to marry at the beginning, and also talked to the Duchess of Yanguo about many conditions, and finally the Marquis of Weiyong and the Grandpa of Yanguo both nodded, and she got on the sedan chair of the Lu family.
"Thank you, Second Aunt." Mao Youqing held the child and bowed to the Duchess of Yanguo Yingying, and then left the Duchess of Yanguo and returned to his home.
……
Gan Tang trotted all the way from the main house of the Yanguo Mansion to the Wuji Courtyard, but halfway through, she saw Lu Xun who came to pick her up.
She happily ran to him, panting slightly and asked quickly, "Husband, do you have time to change your clothes and have time to eat?" If you are about to leave, let the bridge boy go to the Monogoku Temple as soon as possible, and bring the baggage I have prepared for you."
In the past, when Gan Tang first saw Lu Xun, who had not returned home for several days, come back, he would make careful preparations and let him eat and bathe, but Lu Xun was busy, and several times Gan Tang wasted his efforts.
Lu Xun apologized, but Gan Tang didn't think it was a big deal, and was afraid that he would drag him back, and then Lu Xun had to go home, she first asked Lu Xun how long he could stay at home, if it was only for a moment, she would only bring him the burden that she would prepare every day, and then watch him go out, and silently look forward to his next home.
Lu Xun held Gan Tang with one hand, patted her on the back with the other, and said to her, "The matter outside is decided, I have three days off in the future, let's walk back slowly."
Gan Tang was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and the pair of watery autumn pupils were misty at some point.
Lu Xun went to the gate of Wuji Courtyard and saw that Gan Tang's eyes were red, so he hugged her and walked into the house.
Gan Tang was spinning in the sky, looking at those snickering and busy pretending to be blind maids, not only his eyes were red, but his face was also red.
