Chapter 371: For the Empress

When everyone saw her like this, they knew that she was unwilling to talk about this topic anymore, and although they tried to persuade her, they could only keep their mouths shut.

The first to come were their own people, and Xie Wan chatted with them about the women's school, and the first wave of students would be accepted at the beginning of spring.

Mrs. Wu Anhou said: "It has been arranged, just waiting for the spring to enroll, most of the first batch of female students are either rich or expensive, and they are all enlightened at home." ”

Xie Wan nodded: "Is the number of people enough?" ”

Mrs. Chu replied: "It's not enough, but it doesn't matter, when the year goes down, everyone knows what the situation of women's school is, and there will be more students." ”

Xie Wan snorted: "Don't worry, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it has already made a good start." ”

After chatting about women's studies, we talked about the Women's Federation, and the address of the Women's Federation has been selected, just waiting for the official listing to announce the world.

The Women's Federation has just been established, led by Mrs. Wu'anhou and Mrs. Chu, and the eldest princess asked curiously after hearing about it: "What does this Women's Federation do?" ”

Xie Wan explained: "It is to protect the rights and interests of women and children, for example, if a woman is beaten at her husband's house and wants to leave her husband's house but has no choice, the women's federation can intervene, such as if the child is abused, the women's federation can intervene and often follow up to ensure the healthy growth of the child." ”

"The concubine is from the people, so the concubine will explain this matter."

Mrs. Chu took over and said: "The eldest princess may not know, it is common for the people to eat out of households, if the family has no son, it will definitely be bullied by everyone, if the parents die early, relatives and even neighbors will occupy her family property, and the daughter left behind will not only be taken care of, but may also be sold." ”

"How can it be!"

The eldest princess was suddenly angry: "Occupy other people's property and sell their flesh and blood, and no one will care?!" ”

Mrs. Chu sighed: "In the people, ordinary people think that their daughters are money-losers, and it is a normal phenomenon to eat out of households, and the government will not manage it, after all, the people's feelings are like this." ”

The eldest princess had a cold face and asked, "Can the Women's Federation take care of it?" ”

"Yes!"

Xie Wan said: "The Women's Federation itself is to protect the rights of women and children, if we know about this kind of thing, we will send someone to take back the family property, and we will often return to visit to prevent recurrence." Moreover, the names of Mrs. Wu'an Hou and Mrs. Chu were there, and ordinary people did not dare to disobey them at all. ”

The eldest princess thought for a while and said: "Count one in this palace, there are private soldiers in this palace, see which one is not long-eyed, dare to go against this palace!" ”

Xie Wan said with a smile when she heard this: "If the eldest princess joins, it will be the best, after the Women's Federation is listed, let's first give the soup soup and the name out." Then they buy some things that women and children need, and find families who are living in difficulty to distribute them. ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she was immediately full of interest: "Success!" Leave the purchase to this palace! ”

Xie Wan told her about the donation again, and the operation of the Women's Federation was already in place, and when she understood about it, others also arrived one after another.

Sun Mei has now returned to the Chen family, and the British Duchess and Mrs. Wu Anhou see that there is no contradiction, but in the end they are still rusty.

Sun Rong is a capable person, and after crying in front of the British Mansion for a few days, Chen Cen forgave her for abandoning him and leaving.

Now Chen Cen is clamoring to take Sun Rong back all day long, and the British duchess has a headache, and she doesn't dare to take the initiative to answer Mrs. Wu'anhou.

In addition, now that Empress Dowager Chen and Xie Wan have a falling out, when the British duchess came, she almost left with her head down.

Xie Wan is the same as always, treat her neither cold nor hot, just work her face.

The world was almost over, and everyone went to the imperial garden for a banquet, and when Li Yu, Li Qiong and King Yu came, they brought the male guests, and the people were almost together.

Empress Dowager Chen did not attend, Xie Wan sent palace people to invite according to the rules, but the reply she got was that Empress Dowager Chen was unwell and would not come.

This is the first banquet held by Xie Wan after becoming the queen, and the Empress Dowager Chen was talking to the ladies before, but she was not in good health at this time, and she was slapping Xie Wan in the face.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and no one dared to speak.

Li Qiong was the first to speak, and snorted lightly: "The queen mother is old, it's good to rest!" ”

These words fell into the ears of everyone, and everyone was stunned, it seems that the rumors that Prince Cheng and the Queen Mother are not in agreement are true.

King Yu smiled on the side and said: "After all, the queen mother is old, and now it is freezing cold, and it is not good to come, everything is important to the queen mother's body." ”

Even King Yu began to help Xie Wan speak, and everyone immediately smiled and nodded.

Li Yu didn't say a word, and after everyone talked and laughed for a while, they looked at his face and silently shut up.

Only then did Li Yu speak coldly: "Xiao Quanzi." ”

"The minions are here."

"You go and invite the queen mother to come over, if the queen mother is really unwell, then send it to the palace to recuperate, there are many people in the palace, and it is better to go to the palace to leave the mother's body."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

This...... This is for the queen, to send the queen mother away?!

That's the biological queen mother!

Everyone secretly glanced at Xie Wan, and their mood was even more complicated, they still treated their biological mother like this, what if it was someone else?

Who doesn't have long eyes and dares to offend the queen?!

Xiao Quanzi answered yes and turned to leave. Xie Wan's expression was calm, allowing everyone to look at them with suspicion.

The eldest princess was the first to break the silence, and changed the topic with a smile: "What dishes did the queen prepare today?" Let this palace take a look, there is something you like. ”

Li Qiong and King Yu also opened their mouths and asked about the arrangements for the banquet.

Xie Wan smiled and answered them one by one, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Everyone was talking with smiling faces, and they could see that except for the Queen Mother, everyone in the royal family was towards the queen, and they were not stupid, so their hearts naturally tilted.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

With this announcement, the originally lively banquet suddenly fell silent, and everyone got up and saluted: "The minister (concubine) has seen the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Chen snorted coldly, sat down on the upper seat, and then opened her mouth to let everyone be exempt.

As soon as she came, the banquet that was finally warm was cold again.

The palace people began to serve the food, and several women and ministers worked hard to get the banquet back warm.

The weather was already cold, and this meal was cold and deserted, and everyone present was a little unable to swallow.

Empress Dowager Chen couldn't eat either, but she didn't leave, she kept looking at Li Qiong, expecting to talk to him.

Li Qiong didn't even look at her, either burying her head in food, tasting wine lightly, or dealing with the crowd who came to toast.

Empress Dowager Chen wanted to open her mouth several times, but in the face of his cold look, she swallowed her words again.

Xie Wan naturally saw it in her eyes, but she pretended not to see it, and her eyes fell on Qiao Guang from time to time.

Qiao Guang was transferred to the capital by Li Yu, and now he is in charge of researching firearms, although he is a small official, Xie Wan still included him in the banquet list, and she wants to talk to him.
