Chapter 257: The thoughts of the Feng sisters, Dongyi Kingdom is causing trouble (please subscribe and vote monthly)

Lu Wanling's mother, Feng Ying'er, finally surrendered at Su Ran's feet.

On this day, she was taken into the palace by a carriage.

Of course, Su Ran did not ride with her, but left her alone in the carriage.

It's not that he didn't dare to do that, but he wanted to prevent Feng Ying'er from getting pregnant due to excitement.

For Lu Chan's crime, he would have to be sentenced to at least a few years in prison.

However, considering Feng Ying'er's factors, Su Ran just dismissed him from his official position and ordered him never to enter the capital.

As for Lu Chan's two sons, Lu Biao and Lu Yang, they were both sent to the northwest frontier by Su Ran.

Lu Yang was originally the deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, so he was given a corresponding official position after going to the frontier.

As for Lu Biao, he was originally a dandy, so he was just allowed to live behind his brother Lu Yang. Whether he could make a name for himself or not depended on his own luck.

In this way, Lu Wanling was the only one left in the Lu family in Beijing, which saved a lot of trouble.

And this situation is naturally beneficial to Feng Ying'er's ability to raise her baby with peace of mind.

Otherwise, she would always have to worry about how to explain her affairs to her relatives, and she would definitely not feel at ease.

In this way, Lu Wanling was already an insider, so Feng Ying'er didn't have to explain this matter to anyone.

Under such an environment, the wife of the Lu family gradually adapted to staying in the palace and being cared for attentively every day.

Even as time went by, she gradually developed feelings for the child in her belly that she couldn't let go of.

And all this was seen by her daughter Lu Wanling.

Although she is young, she is still a woman.

As long as you are a woman, you will always have a comparison mentality.

Sometimes, Lu Wanling would even secretly envy her mother for being able to conceive a dragon seed all at once.

She was very open-minded about her mother being taken into the palace.

A woman's life is nothing more than caring for her husband and raising children, and having no worries about food and clothing.

If you can have a certain status, then there will be no regrets.

But now, mother has got everything a woman expects.

Although she is already over 30, it does not affect her at all.

Once she gives birth to a dragon heir, her status will instantly surpass her own.

In all dynasties, it is too common that the mother is more valuable than the son.

With this thought, Lu Wanling tried her best to seize every opportunity that Su Ran came over.

Although the other party does not come to see you specifically most of the time, but comes to see your mother and the child in her belly.

However, whenever Su Ran comes over, Lu Wanling will always try to let her stay here for one night.

In this way, Feng Ying'er can often hear her daughter's screams at night.

At first, she would secretly whisper words such as "evil" or "shameless".

Later, she gradually adapted to this kind of life.

After all, the daughter is the other party's concubine, so if she can be favored, it is not a bad thing.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to gain a foothold in such a large harem based on her status.With this idea, Feng Ying'er sometimes deliberately helped Liu Yiliu Su Ran.

The purpose is naturally for his daughter.

Lu Wanling naturally saw this in her eyes and took it to heart.

In this way, the mother and daughter gradually formed an unspoken tacit understanding, firmly tying their fate to Su Ran.

However, Feng Yinger suddenly entered the palace again, which immediately made her sister, the current empress Shu Fei Feng Yan'er, feel the crisis.

Originally, among all the concubines in Su Ran's harem, only the noble concubine Qin Keqing was pregnant with a dragon seed.

As long as she gave birth to a daughter and she gave birth to a son, then the one in her stomach is the only prince.

What does the prince mean? It means that he can compete for the future throne.

However, when Feng Yan'er learned that the reason her sister entered the palace was because she was pregnant with Su Ran's child, she immediately became nervous.

After all, the person he was competing with before was one person, and an outsider at that.

But now, not only are there two people competing with him, one of them is also his own sister.

Thinking about this, Feng Yan'er already regretted her decision that night.

If he hadn't kept a tacit attitude towards Su Ran taking his sister away with him, this matter would not have developed to this point.

However, now that the matter has come to this, I can't say much, because the other party is my sister anyway.

Now all she can do is to give birth to a dragon child as soon as possible and safely, and then pray that it will be a boy.

Only in that way will his status in Su Ran's mind be further improved.

Otherwise, given that he had already given birth to a child, he would not be able to let that man pay too much attention to himself.

Of course, Su Ran didn't know all this. At this time, he was looking at a pile of folding papers handed over by Fujian officials.

These excerpts all talk about the same thing, that is, the warriors of the Dongyi Kingdom have repeatedly harassed the southeastern sea frontier, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. They hope that the imperial court will send troops to suppress the bandits to calm the people.

Looking at these discounts, Su Ran's anger grew stronger and stronger.

However, after much thought, he did not immediately send troops to encircle and suppress these foreign bandits. Instead, he did another thing, which was to recruit the world's most skilled craftsmen to build warships. Within half a year, he must build a warship capable of carrying 5 people and more. Ships with three months' worth of living supplies came out.

After receiving this task, the Ministry of Industry immediately summoned craftsmen with shipbuilding experience from the entire Yu Dynasty, and at the same time trained craftsmen with previous carpentry skills.

As for the money needed to build these warships, it happened to be provided by the raids on the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

However, since so many officials in Fujian have been cheated, they must give them a reply, otherwise they will think that the court does not care about the life and death of the local people.

With this consideration in mind, Su Ran wrote these words to the governor of Fujian and the officials below: "Be patient for the time being, actively resist the enemy, and eliminate the bandits within a year!"

After Li Zhidong, the governor of Fujian, received the order, he was a little puzzled. However, when he thought about the fact that the imperial court had just ordered the casting of warships, he immediately guessed the next move of the superior.

Therefore, Governor Li Zhidong issued a notice to appease the people, and at the same time asked the soldiers below to actively patrol the coastal front lines and take measures to proactively eliminate the effective forces of thieves and bandits.

Its policy can be summarized as "it is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten of them", in order to minimize the harm caused to the people by thieves and bandits.

Li Zhidong had a hunch in his heart that this big problem that has plagued the coastal area in the past dynasties will definitely be completely solved in the near future.

At that time, the people here will really be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

After all, that person is not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not be able to reach this point today.
