General Meng frowned after hearing what his wife said, and said displeasedly:
"Madam, the ripples have been gone for so long, why are you still trying to get into trouble?
Now After our daughter died, we found a substitute as a last resort in order to prevent the family from being condemned. She also has parents, and she is also a daughter who was carefully cultivated by others."
"Yes. What? She didn’t enter the palace with my daughter’s identity. Without my daughter’s identity, who would know who she is!”
Mrs. Meng has already started to mess around.
General Meng didn't want to have any more entanglements with his old wife, so he said to his second son:
"Tell your mother how the queen ascended to the throne!"
Meng Guang sighed deeply, although it was very strange. He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that if his sister really entered the palace, she would have turned into a pile of bones by now.
“When the new queen came to the throne, she was still injured. In order to protect the three princes, she was almost killed by the rebels.”
“She was not protecting my Meng family. ”
Mrs. Meng gritted her teeth and continued to argue.
"Yes, what she protects is not the blood of my Meng family, but the royal blood. You can't deny this. Do you think our frail daughter can survive if she encounters a uterine mutation?"< br>
General Meng asked rhetorically.
“Yes”
“Madam, since you already know the whole story, let’s go and rest first. I also want to ask Shen’er some details.”
< br>
General Meng didn't want to argue with his wife about this issue anymore, so as not to hurt the relationship between the couple, so he asked his wife to leave first.
Mrs. Meng knew that her husband was angry, so she left angrily without saying anything.
General Meng and his second son stayed in the study for half the night. No one knows what they said specifically, but since that day, the elite men of the Meng family army have increased their training.
Lianyi, who is far away in the palace, still doesn’t know that the three carts of gifts he sent back to the border made Mrs. Meng so dissatisfied that she even resented Lianyi for taking over her daughter’s identity. If she knew about it, she would definitely be angry. The other person was speechless.
As the New Year approaches, the dull atmosphere in the palace slightly improves. Although the old emperor has just left, he cannot make a big deal or banquet the ministers, but the New Year must have a new atmosphere, and the family banquet in the palace is It can be done.
Lianyi had long ago ordered Grandma Sun to prepare a table of delicious food and set it up in the middle palace. She also informed the new emperor early in the morning.
After the new emperor sealed the pen, he brought Quanfu to Fengqi Palace.
"Welcome to the Emperor!"
Lianyi was dressed very grandly today. It was a red palace dress that belonged exclusively to the queen. She was accompanied by three nuns holding children and a group of palace maids and eunuchs. The emperor was greeted at the door.
"The queen has not recovered yet, why did she come out to greet me in person? Get up!"
The emperor may be in a particularly good mood because he doesn't have to go to court tomorrow, and seeing Ripple's grand preparations, his attitude towards Ripple has also become a little better.
"I know that the emperor has worked hard and it is not possible to celebrate in the palace this year, so I have prepared some home-cooked dishes and drinks. It would be good for our family to get together for a New Year's Eve dinner."
< br>Lianyi stood up following the other person's supporting hand and said with a gentle smile.
“My queen is still thoughtful.”
The new emperor entered Fengqi Palace side by side with Ripple. After first looking at the three children one by one, he and Ripple sat down.
Lianyi picked up a few interesting stories about the children and told them a few, making the emperor laugh and relax, and then turned to the focus of today. "Your Majesty, I asked the imperial doctor to check my pulse yesterday. The imperial doctor said that my body has almost recovered, but this time my roots have been injured. I am afraid that I will not be able to bear children for Your Majesty in the future."
Lianyi said sadly.
"Queen, you have given birth to three children for me. You have worked hard and achieved great results, and I am very satisfied."
The emperor's eyes flashed, and he immediately patted Ripple's hand and comforted her.
"I know that Your Majesty will not dislike me, but I still feel that the harem is a bit cold."
Lianyi poured a glass of wine for the emperor and then said.
"Lianyi, please be patient this year. When the filial piety period is over next year, we can find some juggling and singing troupes to enter the palace to relieve your boredom."
The emperor pretended to understand. Wrong, still patiently comforting Ripples.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood my concubine."
"Oh? What are my queen's plans? Tell me."
"Your Majesty, I am thinking of a draft next summer so that I can fill your majesty's harem and have more sisters to serve your majesty." Spread the branches and leaves for the royal family."
Lianyi said with a smile.
After hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and asked:
“Did someone say something in your ear?”
"Your Majesty, do you still need someone to say it?"
Lianyi shook her head helplessly, and then continued:
"I don't have to listen carefully, I can guess what they said about me. , It’s just that I have merit in saving the royal heirs, and I am His Majesty’s first wife, so I dominate the harem and have no regard for other women.”
“That’s all nonsense, don’t pay attention to it.”
The emperor drank the wine in the glass and waved his hand directly.
"Your Majesty knows best what kind of temperament I have, but everyone's words make money, and all the bones are destroyed!
Besides, I don't have a jealous temperament, so I boldly proposed it through the family banquet today. The matter of replenishing the harem is a matter of responsibility for the queen. "
Seeing Rian Yi's sincerity, the emperor did not continue to veto the matter. In fact, some courtiers had proposed the matter of replenishing the harem before. He refused on the grounds of mourning.
After his father and mother left, he was busy looking for a woman. This was too ugly to say, so he decided to postpone the matter. However, after the funeral in spring, this matter should really be put on the agenda. .
Now that the queen can take the initiative, it allows him to take the initiative.
And Lianyi's proposal to fill the emperor's harem didn't have any good intentions. After all, the word "sex" was a knife in the head, and the gentle land of women was not easy to enter. As for spreading branches, it was even more impossible. She didn't want to have it. The child competes with his own son for the throne.
Because of Lianyi's suggestion, the family banquet between the emperor and the empress was very harmonious, and both parties were in a good mood. The emperor stayed at Fengqi Palace that night, letting everyone in the palace know that although the empress was The mother of three children, but she is still doting on her.
The emperor slept on the ground for one night as usual, and was moved to bed the next day. Then he was gently awakened by Ripple. After dressing up, he went to meet the ministers who entered the palace to congratulate him. As the queen of the middle palace, Ripple You must also accept the visit of your destined wife.
Under the auspices of Lanzhi, Lianyi put on the imperial robe of the Queen of the Central Palace and received an audience from her concubines in Fengqi Palace. Of course, amid the compliments of the concubines, she also secretly revealed the news about next summer's draft. Got out.
After all, the emperor's draft must be announced. Women of the right age are not allowed to marry at will before the end of the draft. Of course, those who have been engaged or married before the royal draft is issued will automatically be excluded from the draft.
Lianyi spread the news in order to sell well to the official families in the imperial city. Not all daughters of official families want to enter the palace to make a career. Those who cherish their daughters still hope that their daughters will marry ordinary people and become their wives.
