Work overtime

Chapter 802

Li Hongyuan excitedly went to Jiang Yuebai to ask what he thought of this person. Although Jiang Yuebai was stunned, he felt that they were a perfect match.

For example, if she has no father or mother, the marriage can be simple, which is appropriate. If she comes from a rural family, she has no family background and needs to rely entirely on the 12th Princess, so she dare not act rashly and treat her badly. She is young and will hardly walk in front of her.

She smiled and praised her grandson for doing a great job.

As far as Li Hongyuan was concerned, as long as he was not choosing a male favorite for the Empress Dowager or to succeed the Emperor's grandfather, he could follow this standard when choosing for anyone, as long as the Empress Dowager was happy.

The Imperial Grandmother had been alone for so many years and had provided him with a roof over his head without any ambiguous or inappropriate behavior. He was clearly aware of the fact that she was protecting him under her wing, and he knew how to be grateful.

Jiang Yuebai sighed in his heart, it turned out that no matter whether a man or a woman, as long as they had power and influence, no matter how many times they got married, they could always marry someone younger.

When the twelfth princess heard the age of the man she was to marry, her cheeks turned as red as a lobster. This...

The Ministry of Rites picked a date, and the two of them got married. They invited two tables of close relatives, and then she got married.

The next day, the two of them went to the Cining Palace to express their gratitude. The twelfth eldest princess blushed and looked shy. Song Jinchuan was not much better, his face was red as blood.

But after seeing each other several times, they no longer blushed, but smiled and often smiled at each other in tacit understanding. The twelfth princess looked younger and younger, and her hair became darker and darker. It turns out that love is the best skin care product.

In the twelfth month, the twelfth princess shyly told Jiang Yuebai that she was pregnant and might be pregnant for one or two months. You should know that the twelfth princess is 45 years old this year, but she is actually 44 years old. Even in modern times, she is an elderly mother.

Jiang Yuebai was surprised and delighted. This child was conceived without any drugs. It was a miracle. It seemed that the two of them were truly in love, not just pretending to be in love.

The gynecologist Jiang Xian was quickly summoned to the palace to prescribe abortion-preserving medicine for the 12th Princess. It turned out that the person who came was Jiang Xian's eldest son, Jiang Le. He reported to Jiang Yuebai that his father had been ill for a few days and was seriously ill these days, so he was resting at home.

Jiang Le felt the pulse of the 12th Princess and said everything was fine. He prescribed some medicine to protect the pregnancy and told her to stay in bed as much as possible, walk less, and abstain from sexual intercourse for the next three months.

When Jiang Yuebai heard that Jiang Xian was not well, he informed the emperor and immediately prepared a sedan chair to visit him.

When they arrived at Jiang's residence, a large group of people knelt down. When Jiang Xian heard that the Empress Dowager was coming to visit him, he struggled to get up from the bed and knelt on the ground to pay his respects.

Jiang Yuebai immediately had someone help him back to bed.

She saw the peony on the table at a glance. She could see it at a glance from where Jiang Xian was lying.

"Master Jiang is indeed a flower lover," she exclaimed sincerely.

"The pot of flowers that the Empress gave as a reward is in a special flower garden. This pot was planted separately." Jiang Xian explained excitedly.

His face flushed, he stared at her blankly, and added in a panic, "Thank you for the reward, Madam."

"As long as you like it." Jiang Yuebai said with a smile, "Good things can only show their value when they are in the hands of people who truly understand them. Otherwise, it would be like a cow chewing a peony, which is a waste of natural resources."

Jiang Xian didn't know what to say except thank you. Perhaps he was not the one who could understand her. He could only admire her from afar and worship her. She was an eagle, and the only one who could understand her was another eagle. He was just an albatross who wanted to be free. He didn't want to be a swallow living under a fence, nor did he want to be an eagle fighting desperately.

In recent years, she visited Northeast China, North Korea and Japan, living here and there for six years.

The eagle flew away and seemed not to want to come back. He thought he would never see her again in this life. Who knew he would see her again? He was so happy.

That year, when Shen Ximo talked to him, she said that she already had someone she liked in her heart. She could only have a fake marriage and could not fulfill what a wife should do. If he agreed, then they could get married. He agreed. He did not say that he also had someone he liked in his heart, so he was willing to have a fake marriage.

They didn't sleep together for the first two years. It wasn't until the third year, when they were lying in bed together, that they had sex.

After that, it would come occasionally, but not often. Then I had two children, a boy and a girl.

After that, she never got pregnant again. As if they had completed their mission, they never had their period again. They just stayed in the same quilt, calm as water, and became roommates.

When he saw Jiang Yuebai, Jiang Xian's heart was not calm at all, but filled with indescribable joy.

He said without thinking, "I'm so glad that the queen can come to see me."

His family members were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "My father has been seriously ill recently and his speech has been incoherent. Please forgive me, Empress Dowager."

"No problem." Jiang Yuebai smiled and looked at Jiang Xian, "Master Jiang, they say that doctors don't treat themselves. I have sent you the top doctor in the Imperial Hospital. You have to get better soon."

Jiang Xian gasped and coughed while covering his mouth and nose. After a while, he said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager. I know my illness. There is no cure. There is disease here. You cannot stay here."

"All of you please leave. I have something to say to Lord Jiang alone."

When Jiang Xian heard this, his heart was in his throat. What did the Empress Dowager mean by this?

An unrealistic idea came to my mind.

Could it be?

After everyone left, Jiang Yuebai told Jiang Xian that the twelfth princess was pregnant. She wanted to ask him who could take over the caesarean section in case of an emergency.

Jiang Xian said his son Jiang Le could do it.

Jiang Yuebai finally felt relieved. When she looked up, she found Jiang Xian staring at her.

She asked in confusion, "Master Jiang?"

After struggling for a long time, Jiang Xian decided to be willful and fulfill his wish before he died.

I think he was a free and unrestrained young man before he entered the palace.

His eyes were burning, "I have something I have always wanted to say to you."

When Jiang Yuebai's eyes met his, she suddenly retracted them.

He? Could it be?

She smiled slightly, "It just so happens that I have something I have always wanted to say to you."

Jiang Xian was stunned, his heart beating wildly.

She? Could it be?

Jiang Yuebai said very seriously, "Thank you, Jiang Xian. Without your protection, I would have died of dystocia when I gave birth to the quintuplets. The children would not have survived. Now they are all fathers, mothers, have children, and are even going to be grandparents. It's great. Thank you, Jiang Xian. If you have any wishes, I can help you fulfill them."

Jiang Xian opened his mouth, but the words "I like you" never came out. He smiled and said, "It is my honor to serve the royal family. Your Majesty is blessed to do so. I dare not take credit for it."

"What's your wish?"

"My wish... My wish is... Jiang Le is my only son. I want to pray for his safety and let him leave the Imperial Hospital. Being an imperial physician is too hard."

"How about granting him the right to change his surname to my own and have him go to Suzhou to look after my ancestral home?"

Taking the surname of the Empress Dowager means that he will be recognized as a godparent, what an honor it is.

Jiang Xian was horrified when he heard this. He struggled to get up from the bed and knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."

After Jiang Yuebai left, Jiang Xian was still in extreme shock. He vaguely felt that the Empress Dowager understood his feelings. Otherwise, why would she recognize Jiang Le as her godparent? But he felt that he was being too sentimental. The Empress Dowager was just a very grateful person.

In fact, Jiang Yuebai was very generous in repaying those who helped him at critical moments.

After returning, Jiang Yuebai told the emperor about this matter. Of course, the emperor had no reason to object. Even he grew up under the careful care of Doctor Jiang, not to mention the fact that the Empress Dowager had a narrow escape from death when she gave birth to five children. After hearing that Jiang Xian was seriously ill, he considered granting him a title of marquis.

Since the Empress Dowager asked Jiang Xian's only son to change his surname to Jiang, go back to look after the ancestral home, and open a small clinic, he thought it would be better. In this way, he would become one of her own. It was appropriate.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 28th year of Jiashun, Jiang Xian passed away at the age of 68. On the day of his death, the emperor personally went to Jiang's mansion to see him off. This shows how much he valued him.

After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Earl of Kangding, and the title was inherited by his descendants. Jiang Le succeeded him and was given the posthumous title "Ren". He was buried in the Tomb of Loyal Ministers in the Imperial Mausoleum.

His brother Jiang Yu was eleven years older than him. He turned seventy-nine in April this year and celebrated his eightieth birthday. His hands and feet were trembling and his speech was incoherent. No one would have thought that Jiang Xian would still be ahead of his brother.

When Jiang Yu heard about his brother's death, he was in great grief and kept mumbling about it every day. Eight days later, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, he also passed away.

After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Kangshoubo, and his eldest son inherited the title of Kangshoubo with the posthumous name "Kang". He was buried in the Tomb of Loyal Ministers in the Imperial Mausoleum.

In the twelfth month of that year, Li Hongyuan's favorite concubine, Concubine Zhen, gave birth to their first child, a little prince. Li Hongyuan named him Li Yongxuan and was so happy that he stopped attending court for three days. This kind of treatment had only been given to the birth of the crown prince.

Zhen Fei was none other than Huang Ziyi, the eldest daughter of Lu Changlin's youngest daughter and a distant cousin of Li Hongyuan. When Huang Ziyi turned fourteen, she was taken into the palace by the emperor as his special favorite. After giving birth to a child, she was promoted from Zhen Rong Hua to Zhen Fei.

At the same time as Li Hongyuan's wedding, Jiang Yuebai arranged the marriage of Lu Changlin's youngest daughter to the top scholar Huang Xin.

Not only that, as early as four years ago, Li Hongyuan also brought the daughter of Jiang Bingliang's eldest son, another distant cousin, into the palace. She was initially named Jiang Wanyi, who had already given birth to a princess and was now five months pregnant. She had been promoted to Jiang Ronghua.

After Jiang Yuebai came back from abroad, he felt helpless when he heard about this.

Because of the issue of seniority, Jiang Yuebai rejected Li Hongyuan's plan to make Lu Changlin's youngest daughter the queen. It is hard to say whether Li Hongyuan did this because of his obsession with Zhenfei's mother. But there is no way to ask clearly about this matter. I can only pretend to be confused.

When he went to visit, Jiang Yuebai felt distressed when he saw Huang Ziyi, who was still very weak and childish after giving birth. After dismissing the people around him, he kindly advised,

"Zi Yi, you should have a good rest and take good care of yourself during the confinement period. You should abstain from sexual intercourse for three months. No matter how much the emperor loves you, you must know your limits. Only by taking care of your body can you have many children and live a long life. Only by learning to say no can you become more precious, instead of letting him do whatever he wants. Do you understand?"

Such straightforward words made Huang Ziyi blush.

In Huang Ziyi's heart, the Empress Dowager was a god-like existence. She blushed and nodded obediently.

Jiang Yuebai asked again, "Do you like the emperor?"

Huang Ziyi's face turned even redder, and she whispered, "I like it."

"Then you must take care of yourself for the emperor," Jiang Yuebai said solemnly, "You are so favored, it is inevitable that people will be jealous and want to harm you. You must be more careful in everything and don't trust others easily."

Jiang Yuebai stopped there and didn't say anything more.

The newborn great-grandson felt heavy in her arms. She kissed his soft little face, feeling both happy and worried.

In the 29th year of Jiashun, Jiang Yuebai's great-grandson Li Yongzhang was 16 years old and a crown princess needed to be chosen.

Li Hongyuan asked the Empress Dowager for her opinion. Jiang Yuebai suggested marrying a Jurchen woman. In the next generation, marry a Han woman as the empress. Then in the next generation, marry a Mongolian woman as the empress, and so on to balance the relationship.

Li Hongyuan agreed. Jiang Yuebai would not interfere in the matter of which Jurchen daughter to marry, and who to choose as the two concubines and four concubines.

Referring to the structure of the concubines of the previous two emperors, Li Hongyuan quickly drew up a plan. The empress was of the Jurchen ethnic group, and the two concubines were of the Khoshut tribe and the Han ethnic group. Among the four concubines, one was of the Torghut tribe, one was of the Choros tribe, and two were of the Han ethnic group.

The Han concubine is designated as Jiang Binggong's great-granddaughter, and when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, she will be given the position of concubine.

In May of that year, Jiang Ronghua gave birth to a prince, and the emperor named him Li Yongyan, and promoted him to Consort Jiang. The Jiang family once again had a high-ranking concubine in the harem.

In the next three years, Jiang Yuebai did not travel far away. She sat at her desk every day and copied out the math, physics, chemistry and biology textbooks in the system. With so many years of "science" and elementary school mathematics foundation, Jiang Yuebai felt that it was time to teach formal math, physics, chemistry and biology courses.

These textbooks are simplified versions officially published later and need to be revised and reorganized.

Apart from his martial arts training every morning and flying knife training in the afternoon, Jiang Yuebai spent most of his time copying textbooks.

She received news that the five concubines sent to the third son had given birth to eighteen children in five years, some of whom died in infancy, and the remaining twelve. Some concubines gave birth to one child almost every year, which was really fertile.

The concubine of the old nine gave birth to a boy a few years ago, and died of dystocia when giving birth to the third boy last year. The boy born by the concubine a few years ago unfortunately died, and she never got pregnant again. Jiang Yuebai married the granddaughter of the imperial physician Jiang who was skilled in medicine to the old nine as the new princess. The new princess got pregnant in the third month after she left, and gave birth to a boy.

Tana also wrote to her several times. She gave birth to another daughter for Mengshu. Unfortunately, both daughters died one after another. Tana was very sad about this and asked her grandmother if she had a secret recipe for giving birth to a boy. Jiang Yuebai gave her a powder for giving birth to a boy, and sent her a bunch of nutritional supplements for pregnant women, and four experienced maids went to take care of Tana's child.

In the 29th year, Tana gave birth to her first boy. She named him Mombat, hoping that he would grow up healthy and safe.

In the spring and summer of the 30th year of Jiashun, when Jiang Yuebai was 68 years old, she saw her newly born great-grandson and great-granddaughter. She smiled from ear to ear, just because she found it funny. She could actually see a great-grandson.

The great-great-granddaughter of the Crown Princess. The great-great-granddaughter of Jiang Binggong, Concubine Jiang, and Amur Liangdi of the Torghut tribe gave birth to the great-great-grandson of the Crown Princess.

Inevitably, the issue of the eldest son came up again. But Jiang Yuebai was too lazy to worry about it. Raising a child to adulthood is difficult. There are so many difficulties. This is just the beginning.

Li Hongyuan asked the Empress Dowager to give names to the two great-great-grandsons and the eldest great-great-granddaughter. According to the order of birth, Jiang Yuebai named them Li Youxing and Li Youan. The eldest great-great-granddaughter was named Li Yueshi.

However, after his great-grandson Li Yongzhang had three children, he became indifferent to the idea of ​​having children. He rarely stayed in the harem and was more interested in carpentry.

He made a lot of exquisite Luban locks and gave them to his great-grandmother, saying that he would use them for her entertainment. He also replaced all the tables and chairs with tables that he personally carved and painted. It was indeed a very good taste, exquisite, luxurious and stylish.

Jiang Yuebai thought, this is bad. The Carpenter Emperor is online.
