The Song family is in chaos, but there are constant happy events in the palace.

At noon, Chen Quan went to the Jiaofang Palace, he was in a good mood, and he wanted to talk to the queen.

After Song Yunfei left, Chen Quan summoned Zhou Yang and assigned him to Dongyang County to assist Song Yunfei in digging the tomb.

Zhou Yang has not yet taken up a post after returning from the border pass, not because he has no suitable position, but because Chen Quan wants to deliberately suppress his arrogance.

The children of these big families are born with a sense of arrogance.

Zhou Yang is even worse.

In order to avenge his mother, even his own father dared to abandon him, which shows that he is ruthless.

Fortunately, this person is also a smart person, when he won the capital and rewarded him for meritorious deeds, he took the initiative to propose that he was young and not calm enough, and wanted to follow his uncle to the border to practice.

Chen Quan also had the intention to be tempted, so he really went to the border for five years.

Now that Zhou Yang is back, this person is a sharp blade in his hand if he uses it well, and if he doesn't use it well, he may devour the master, Chen Quan doesn't dare to aunt at all.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang has indeed made a lot of contributions in the five years at the border. After returning to Beijing, he hung him for these days, and he was not arrogant or impatient, except for going to the Zhenguo Mansion to participate in a flower-viewing banquet, he rarely interacted with important ministers in Beijing.

I heard that this flower-viewing banquet was forced by Wu Anhou to go.

Zhou Yang is already weak, and it is time to marry a wife and have children. Men, only after getting married can their temperament be more stable.

Empress Shen listened quietly to Chen Quan's praise and praise of Zhou Yang, and only when Chen Quan stopped talking and lowered her head to drink tea did she speak lightly.

"Since Your Majesty attaches so much importance to Zhou Yang, why don't you give him a suitable position and let him go to Dongyang County to dig a tomb?"

This tomb can't be dug up in two or three years.

Chen Quan's eyes shone slightly: "Wu Anhou entrusted someone and wanted to get Zhou Yang into the Soldiers and Horses Division."

Empress Shen nodded: "This place is good, Zhou Yang has been in the border for many years, and he has a general, and the Soldiers and Horses Division is indeed suitable for him."

"Fit is fit." Chen Quan put down the teacup and his expression was a little incomprehensible, "It's that I still want to temper him for a year and a half." ”

Empress Shen couldn't help pursing her lips, others didn't know Chen Quan, she still didn't know.

This person is suspicious, if Wu Anhou doesn't find someone to arrange, Zhou Yang may now have a good position that is suitable for him. Just because Wu Anhou intervened, Chen Quan was unhappy.

He is a person who looks good at talking and righteous, but he is actually very stubborn. For the things he cares about, he only likes to take the initiative himself, and he definitely doesn't want others to take the decision for him.

Chen Quan saw that the queen didn't talk, and he didn't continue, he pointed to a plate of pastries in Queen Shen's hand and asked, "Why is the dim sum here different from the dim sum you eat?"

On the plate in Queen Shen's hand was a plate of flower cakes, a plate of egg yolk crisp, and a plate of pea yolk.

In front of Chen Quan, there are a few common dim sum dishes in the palace, jujube paste cake, mung bean cake, donkey rolling, sesame roll, and Poria cocos cake.

For some reason, Chen Quan felt that the dim sum in Empress Shen's hand was more delicious than the one on his side.

Empress Shen picked up a piece of egg yolk crisp and broke it open, revealing the salted egg yolk inside, and took a slow bite.

"This pastry was sent in from outside the palace by Biao Ge, and the taste is not quite the same as that in the palace, I'm afraid you won't be used to eating it."

Seeing that Empress Shen took a bite, Chen Quan raised his hand and took a piece of flower cake and looked at it carefully: "What is this cake made of, it looks pretty good."

Empress Shen finished eating a whole egg yolk crisp before wiping her mouth and said: "This is a flower cake, the craftsmanship of the auspicious building in Beijing, I heard that fifty copies are sold every day."

Chen Quan has an unknown fetish, he likes sweetness and prefers novelty dim sum.

It's just that I heard that this snack was sent in from outside the palace, and even if he likes it, he won't really eat it.

The queen has tasted it all, and it was sent in by Yang Ge, so he can't ask a little eunuch to try it for his own appetite.

In this way, there is more or less a slap in the queen's face.

In the past two or three months, the relationship between the queen and him has just gradually improved, and he will not block the queen!

Chen Quan felt empathetic, put down the flower cake and wiped his hands.

Just about to speak, at noon, he set up a meal in the Jiaofang Palace.

Seeing Deng Wuwei bow in, he lowered his voice and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Niangniang, the concubine sent someone over, saying that the palace maid Yueniang was happy."

In the past two years, in order to envelop Chen Quan, Zhou Guifei sent the two palace maids around her to Chen Quan's bed.

These two palace maids were brought in from outside the palace by Zhou Guifei when she returned to her parents' home a few years ago, and the years were just right at that time. Now he is just a charming man in his early twenties, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old is a flower and a moon.

Clear-eyed people know at a glance that these two people were specially trained by the Zhou family to compete for the favor of the concubine.

It's a pity that Chen Quan just ascended the throne a few years ago, and he was dedicated to the country and the people, and he had no intention of spending time at all.

In addition, Zhou Guifei only thinks about competing for favor, and she can't wait to dominate the emperor alone day and night. Even the cousin sent by his mother's family didn't want to see him, and it was impossible for the two foxes around him to hook up with Chen Quan.

Zhou Guifei originally gave birth to a princess, but unfortunately more than two years ago, the little princess suffered from the cold, the high fever did not go away, and she did not survive.

This is Chen Quan's only daughter so far, and she loves her very much.

Because of the untimely death of the little princess, Chen Quan was very cold to Zhou Guifei for a while.

And Empress Shen also happened to fall into Chen Quan's eyes at this time, although Queen Shen had respected each other since she entered the palace, Chen Quan had never even been on Empress Shen's bed.

But it didn't prevent him from talking to Empress Shen, and only Empress Shen knew him best, and almost every word went into Chen Quan's heart.

Compared with Zhou Guifei, the queen understands the righteousness more deeply. She persuaded Chen Quan to have more children in order to ensure the longevity of the Chen family.

Chen Quan has a total of four sons and one daughter, and now there are only the three princes from Empress Shen and the four princes from Zhou Guifei.

The third prince was frail and raised outside, the fourth prince was young, and the little princess died, as soon as the queen said this, Chen Quan realized that he had too few children and had to work hard.

At this time, the Great Shang Dynasty had become increasingly stable, and everything was slowly developing for the better.

Chen Quan finally had the mind and energy to start working at sunset, resting at sunrise, and working hard for future generations of the Chen family.

Chen Quan was obsessed with giving birth to a son, and Concubine Zhou knew that the general trend had gone, so she had to push out her two palace maids and strive to do it, the palace was favored by thousands of people, and Yuhua Palace accounted for at least half of it.

As for this half, whether Chen Quan is on her or the two palace maids, she can't take care of it so much.

As long as Chen Quanqin comes to Yuhua Palace, she can't eat meat, and she can't drink broth!

It's just that I don't know if the water and soil in this imperial city are not good, or if there are other reasons.

A few years ago, it could be said that Chen Quan delayed the harem concubines from having children because of state affairs, but after Chen Quan's hard work in the past two years, there is still no harvest.

This made Chen Quan feel more or less uncomfortable, and he began to gather the imperial doctor to regulate his body, while frequently running between the concubines in the harem.

Strive to plant widely, sow more seeds, and emerge early.
