Donggong Zhangjiao

Although I don't know if the queen took Lan Liangyuan's words to heart, the days that followed were much calmer as Fang Yun wished.

Qingrong and Yanwei got married and returned to continue their work.

Su Xin and Ruo Yu have served very well during this period, so Fang Yun asked Qing Rong and Yan Wei not to have to stay on night duty in the future. They would go to the palace to serve in the morning and leave the palace to go home to rest in the evening. Same.

This is naturally much easier.

In fact, Fang Yun also asked the two of them for their opinions. If they didn't want to enter the palace to serve, that was fine. However, both of them expressed their willingness to continue to serve Fang Yun, and her husband's family also agreed, so they still stayed with him.

Fang Yun also took advantage of the situation and said that as long as the maid serving in Yuzhang Palace told Qingrong and Yanwei when they got married, she would prepare a dowry for them.

Of course, eunuchs don't have to be envious, they have other benefits.

For a time, many people in the palace yearned to work in Yuzhang Palace.

The queen was taking care of the New Year-related matters and felt tired. She went out to walk around the imperial garden and heard the discussions among the palace people.

"Concubine Zhao treats her servants so considerately and kindly. No wonder the emperor likes her and everyone in the palace speaks well of her," the queen said calmly.

Min Si was afraid that she would be sad, so she quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't listen to those gossips. There are many people in the palace who worship the superior and condescend to the inferior. They all see Concubine Zhao being favored and want to curry favor with Rezao. They don't really want to serve her." , when the day comes when Concubine Zhao loses her reputation, it will still be this group of people who make sarcastic remarks about her."

"Yes, besides, the empress has always been kind to me. We in Fengxuan Palace also miss her. Not everyone can enter Fengxuan Palace, so they can only talk about going to Yuzhang Palace. ." Tim Mo also followed.

Both of them are children of the Lu family. They have served the queen since they were young. They are now past the age of marriage and are several years older than Qingrong Yanwei.

Although the two of them were willing not to get married and had been serving the queen, the queen inevitably felt guilty again when she heard that the two eldest maids around Fang Yun were getting married.

"Following me will delay you." The queen sighed.

The two girls shook their heads hurriedly, saying that they were no longer better than many people in today's life, and they were already content.

Indeed, the Queen is also kind to her servants. Tim Mo and Minsi have different feelings from her, and their daily expenses for food and clothing are not bad compared to girls from wealthy families outside. They have been with the Queen for so many years and have accumulated a lot of money. Having little wealth is indeed contentment.

But after hearing the words contentment, the queen sighed.

"Content, contentment, happiness, but I am not satisfied anymore. My father is old, but none of my brothers are good enough. Now the Lu family seems to be the best in the Sanfang lineage, with the emergence of a talent like Qi'an. Lang, my third uncle is much younger than my father. He is still as capable as he was back then. I am afraid that if this continues, my family will have no successors. From now on, my fifth prince will have to rely on my third uncle. "

"The third master and our father-in-law were born from the same mother. We have always been close to each other. The third master will definitely support the fifth prince with all his strength. Don't worry, the queen." Tian Mo advised.

The Queen narrowed her eyes and said, "Of course I know, but I can't bear to see my eldest family fall into decline. If the fifth prince inherits the throne in the future, he will naturally take care of the Lu family's eldest family. If not, no matter how glorious the Duke's Palace is, It’s useless if you don’t have a successor.”

"The fifth prince is the legitimate son and should be the crown prince." Minsi said.

"This is the rule, but the rules are set by the emperor." The queen said with a bit of annoyance on her face, "The position of the prince is uncertain every day, and I always worry more about it."

Establishing a prince is a big deal. Once established, it is easy and cannot be abolished. As long as the fifth prince has good moral character in the future, it does not matter even if his talents are inferior.

"Your Majesty is worried about the Emperor's treatment of the Fourth Prince." Tim Mo didn't dare to finish the sentence.

The queen's face calmed down, "Not only the fourth prince, but also Concubine Wan. Although Concubine Wan is not favored, her family background is better than Concubine Zhao. She has some means to survive to her current position. This time Qiu's defeat Well, the Qiu family has been implicated and has withdrawn from the Kyoto court. I am afraid that Wanbi’s brother will take over the Qiu family’s position soon.”

"Fortunately, Concubine Wan only has the sixth princess whom she took care of now. If she gave birth to a prince, wouldn't it be even more difficult?" Min Si frowned.

"Yes." The queen raised her eyes, "I'm afraid it will be more complicated in the future."

But no matter what she thought in her heart, the queen still did nothing during this time.

Lan Liangyuan's matter has not dissipated. It is still at the forefront of the storm. Nothing is appropriate now.

And it's the end of the year, and Pei Yao is very busy, even busier than in previous years. In a month, he only enters the harem a handful of times.

Therefore, the grace everywhere is faint, and no change can be seen at the moment. Let’s talk about it after the New Year.

This idea is held everywhere.

So time flies and it’s the New Year’s Eve Palace Banquet.

This year the harem is quiet and no one is acting like a monster. The children are older and it is more lively.

After the concubines toasted the New Year one by one, the princes and princesses also stood up one by one.

The eldest prince behaved as always, honest and honest.

Fang Yun felt strange. Concubine Jin was obviously a gossip, and Pei Yao was not a simple-tempered person. How could the eldest prince be raised with such a temper?

Neutralized?

Next, the second princess is very elegant anyway.

The little girl is now very good at saving face. She has always been elegant and dignified in front of others. She only became more out of the ordinary when she returned to Yuzhang Palace.

As for the third prince, he was raised much better by Song Concubine than before. The timid feeling of trying to please was gone, but he was still very quiet and restrained, and did not like to be in the limelight.

So the congratulations are the simplest.

It even felt like he wouldn't want to get up and toast if it wasn't necessary.

So much so that when it was the fourth prince's turn, he seemed to be an extremely happy child.

"Father, all the nice things have been said by my brothers and sisters, and I have nothing to say, so I will give my father a set of Crane Boxing. If I can make my father smile, it is not in vain for me to learn it!"

"Ji'er, stop messing around!" Fang Yun called him hurriedly, holding his forehead.

What the fourth prince learned was Crane Boxing. It was just for the purpose of strengthening his body.

Fang Yun was still thinking that the fourth prince was weak and needed to exercise so that he could become stronger in the future. He was not yet old enough for the prince to seriously choose a master to practice martial arts.

"Hey, it doesn't matter. This kid is very brave. Since he wants to fight, let him fight." Pei Yao waved his hand and smiled happily.

Who doesn't like lively and clever children, especially if the first three are well-behaved and quiet.

The fourth prince was always favored and everyone was friendly to him. He was even more informal in front of Pei Yao. After receiving such a compliment from Pei Yao, he became even more energetic.

Rolling up his sleeves, he went to the center of the hall and performed a show.

After the set of punches was over, the fourth prince's little face turned red, he raised his hands and said loudly to Pei Yao with a smile.

"I only use this fist to wish my father a turtle year and a crane life, and may the cranes and deer spring together in the world!"

"Okay!" Pei Yao laughed loudly and praised, "Ji'er has grown up, Hong Zheng, please give the fourth prince the Yunhe Square Pot in my warehouse."

"My dear father, thank you!"

The fourth prince smiled with crooked eyebrows and expressed gratitude.

With him as a ghost in the front, the toast of the fifth prince later seemed meaningless.

The main reason is that the fifth prince is still young, so of course he doesn't have the fancy work of the fourth prince.

Fang Yun sat below, looking at Pei Yao and the fourth prince happily, and then looking at the queen whose smile was not reaching her eyes, she also sighed and worried. (End of chapter)
