But Ye Biqing admires His Highness's kindness even more, she has such kindness to the women of the Qinglou, Her Royal Highness is really different from ordinary men.

Thinking of this, Ye Biqing unconsciously imagined again, if she had just become an Oiran back then, she could meet this handsome, dashing, powerful and kind-hearted Highness.

Can I really have the opportunity to stay and serve this highness now? Even if you don't seek fame, even if you have no regrets, will you have such an opportunity?

……

Zhu Song left Yangzhou and took five days to arrive at Jingshi, it was not that Zhu Song deliberately slowed down, it was really so much salt, the draft was too deep, and the hull was relatively heavy, so he had no choice but to slow down.

After Zhu Song arrived in Yingtian, he handed over the salt to the household officials who were in charge of receiving it, as well as to the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

After Zhu Song paid the salt, he quickly entered the capital, and his purpose in entering the capital was naturally not to invite merit to the saint or to visit the saint, but to visit his two wives and children in a hurry.

Now that Concubine Zhao has finally gotten what she wants and is pregnant with a child, Zhu Song's heart has let go of the stone, in his opinion, the child doesn't matter, even if it can't be born, what can it be, but this is not the case in Concubine Zhao's eyes.

Most women in ancient times would not wonder if there was something wrong with their husband, once they couldn't give birth to a child, it must be their own problem.

Zhu Song hurried into the city and hurried back to the palace.

Feng Miaoqin and Concubine Zhao were lazily basking in the sun in the backyard at the moment, chatting.

Concubine Zhao's body is getting heavier and heavier now, and it is estimated that not long after the Chinese New Year, the child in this belly should be born.

The two of them were chatting casually, and suddenly heard Zhu Song's voice, from far to near, at the beginning, it was Feng Miaoqin who heard it, and thought that he had heard it wrong.

But later, Concubine Zhao also heard it, and the two women looked at each other, and then saw Zhu Song push the door of the backyard open, looking at her two women with a stupid look and laughing.

"Princess! Concubine Zhao! This king is back! ”

The princess put down Xiao Shizi excitedly, and was about to hug her husband, but she didn't expect a figure to flash in front of her, but it was her son Zhu Chongyu who jumped into his father's arms first.

Zhu Song hugged his son, touched his son's head, and felt the changes in his son for so long since he left, and laughed.

"It's good to be the son of this king, and he's grown taller and fatter!"

Feng Miao saw her son take a step ahead of herself, and stomped her feet, but she also calmed down at this time, and when she turned around, she saw that Sister Zhao was still moving step by step with a big belly by herself, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Sister Zhao.

"Your Highness, why don't you write a letter to tell us in advance, how long have you been in Yangzhou?"

Zhu Song hugged his son, looked at Miaoqin and smiled: "I came back early after the matter was done in advance, and I blame homesickness, I miss you, the salt tax of Lianghuai has been almost collected." ”

Concubine Zhao was surprised: "In my opinion, the situation of Lianghuai is more difficult to deal with than in Zhejiang, although Hangzhou does not have that Shen Zhengcong's ordinary character, but because there is no such situation, it is more difficult to handle, what method does His Highness use?" ”

Zhu Song sat down with his son in his arms, and beckoned his two concubines to sit down too.

"How could this king come up with such a quick and good way? All of this is thanks to a new subordinate recently acquired by this king, and you must not have imagined that this person has any relationship with this king......"

Then Zhu Song explained how to bring down Shen Zhengcong, how Shen Zhengcong's wife Cheng Lou'er came to his subordinates and changed her name to Ye Biqing, and how Ye Biqing offered himself a good plan to perfectly solve the problem of the two Huai salt taxes.

After hearing this, the two daughters were all very surprised, and at the same time, a trace of suspicion rose in their hearts, this Shen Zheng has done a lot of evil, a wicked person like him, can his wife be so innocent and clean?

Concubine Zhao said to Zhu Song: "Your Highness, this person was Shen Zhengcong's wife before, then Shen Zhengcong did such a bad thing, he as a wife will not be ignorant of it at all, I think she must be indispensable in this, Your Highness must be careful!" ”

Zhu Song took the hot towel brought by the maid of the palace, wiped his face, and then said: "This king also thinks that she will not be unaware of it at all, but now is the time to employ people, if there is no her, the salt tax of Lianghuai will not be collected so easily." ”

"Now we can't pay too much attention to virtue, although he knows it, he may not be able to change anything, after all, Shen Zhengcong is the real head of the family, and she is in Shen Zhengcong's hands, she is just a tool for power trading."

"As for why she can still maintain her thirty-nine years old as if she was in her early twenties, she also told the truth to this king, she said that she was drugged in the Qinglou when she was young, she has no fertility, and she will not have menstruation, so her natural appearance will not change much."

After Zhu Song finished speaking, looking at the blank expressions of these two women, Zhu Song suddenly remembered, after the removal of this woman's sub-palace, it seems that it does help with beauty and beauty, because Zhu Song had seen the news in his previous life, and there was a European and American woman who had done such a thing in order to pursue youth, and the result seemed to be good.

Zhu Song explained to the two of them again: "This king asked Lang Zhong about this matter, and Lang Zhong said that this is a very ancient method, women don't seem to have children, and after menstruation, they will indeed age slower than normal women." ”

After the two girls listened, they understood, but because of this, the two girls' impression of Ye Biqing changed a lot.

In their opinion, it is a very terrible and very pitiful thing for a woman to be deprived of the right to be a mother, especially Concubine Zhao can understand this feeling best, he was finally conceived by the imperial doctor, and she has always doubted whether she is really a useless woman in the past few years.

If she really can't be a mother in her life, Concubine Zhao really doesn't know how to face His Royal Highness and how to face Emperor Taizu Gao?

Concubine Zhao sighed: "This Ye girl is really pitiful, it's just that she was miserable when she was young, but she didn't expect that the beloved who she had been looking forward to for so long was actually entrusted to a non-person, and she was still a eunuch......"

The princess also nodded and said: "Yes, it's really hard, I don't even dare to think about what she has experienced, but since the establishment of His Royal Highness Jinyiwei's command of the envoy, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be an official." ”
