Chapter 683 Confidant (Part )

There are many taboos for women when they are pregnant and have children, so they have to be extra careful. When they are about to give birth, it is even more like a gate of hell.

Therefore, Jiang Shaohua must have absolutely loyal and trustworthy confidants around him.

Chen Changshi personally wrote a letter to Doctor Sun, specifically asking him to bring Sun Zelan to the capital. This was for the Empress's future childbirth. If anything went wrong, Sun Zelan was good at laparotomy and suturing, which might be of great use.

Sun Zelan knew this very well. She was just complaining, and she would not really leave the palace and return to Nanyang County.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager was quite dissatisfied with our father and I entering the palace." Sun Zelan laughed softly.

Jiang Shaohua sneered: "She wants everything to be under her control and doesn't want any changes in the palace."

How can this be?

A new emperor appoints new ministers. This principle also applies to the harem.

She didn't touch the harem now in order to reassure people. It was also because of priorities. The most urgent task was to secure the throne and control the court, so she had to put the harem aside for a while.

This does not mean that she will allow herself to be controlled by Empress Dowager Zheng.

The wrestling between the two never stopped.

Sun Zelan curled her lips and spoke disrespectfully to the Grand Empress Dowager: "The Grand Empress Dowager is not young anymore. At this age, it would be great if she could eat and drink well and accompany Prince Ping every day. Worrying too much will shorten her lifespan."

Jiang Shaohua was happy again: "It's okay to say this in front of me, but don't say it in front of others. If it gets to the ears of the Grand Empress Dowager, it will be a ready-made topic of gossip."

Sun Zelan also laughed: "I'm not stupid, how dare I say this to others."

In short, chatting with Sun Zelan was really relaxing and pleasant.

After Chen Jinyu became the emperor's attendant, he had to report a lot of political affairs every day and run errands everywhere to deliver messages. He was very busy and had almost no time to chat with the emperor.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and asked Sun Zelan: "Is there anything new in the Royal Guard Battalion?"

Sun Zelan said: "There are indeed two."

"The first one is Lin Huiniang. She got pregnant last year. She gave birth to a fat boy three months ago. He has black hair, brown eyes, and snow-white skin. He is very handsome."

Lin Huiniang was also very bold, and secretly got together with Moni. Moni was very proud of himself, and planned to make meritorious deeds and earn money to marry Lin Huiniang.

Who would have thought that after Lin Huiniang became pregnant, she turned against him and drove Mani out of the military tent.

Sun Zelan also found it interesting when talking about this: "Originally, many people in the military camp secretly envied and hated Moni. Especially Cao Da, who was so jealous that his eyes turned red. He didn't dare to take action openly, but provoked him privately."

"As a result, Lin Huiniang got pregnant and dumped Moni. Cao Da was happy and ran to laugh at Moni. Moni got angry and started fighting, and both of them were injured."

"Commander Liu was also furious at the time, and personally initiated military law, beating Cao Da and Moni severely. Both of them had to lie in bed for a month before they could walk again."

Jiang Shaohua nodded his head when Lin Huiniang wanted to "borrow sperm". Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Hui Niang doesn't want to get married, she just wants to have a child. Cao Da is Commander Liu's personal soldier, it's not easy to provoke him casually. Mani is a foreign horse slave, he has no foundation or backing in the barracks. So I chose Mani." "In this matter, Mani didn't suffer any loss, it's good like this."

Sun Zelan smiled and said, "That's not the case. Moni is a stubborn person. Hui Niang wouldn't let him into the military tent, so he would often stay outside the tent. Hui Niang was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to do anything, so after training every day, he would go to fetch water to wash clothes."

"When Hui Niang gave birth, he was also outside to watch over her. After the child was born, he wanted to see the child, but Hui Niang refused at first. He went there every day, and Hui Niang finally relented and let him see the child."

"Muni was determined to raise his son by himself. He accompanied the guards in military training and received a salary every month. He gave the salary to Hui Niang, telling her to save the money so that she could build a house for her son and marry him off."

"Hui Niang is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Before I came to the capital, she even told me quietly that we should just live like this for now."

Jiang Shaohua laughed: "So, we still live as a family of three!"

Sun Zelan also laughed: "That's not the case. Moni has his own place to live. If Hui Niang doesn't let him stay, he has to go back."

Such behavior, if put outside, would be considered as a dishonorable act like having an illegitimate child. In the military camp, it was actually somewhat unusual. However, Lin Huiniang was now also a half-military doctor, with the emperor's support behind her, so no one dared to gossip about her.

"What's the other new thing?" It's fun to chat about family matters. Jiang Shaohua asked with a smile.

Sun Zelan frowned: "It was Miss Kong's father and brother who came to the military camp."

Six years ago, Jiang Shaohua led his troops to Li County to suppress mountain bandits and rescued some poor women from the mountains. Among them, Kong Qingwan was the first and most special one. She was born in the Kong family of Lu County, and was one of the legitimate branches. She was a noble lady from a scholarly family, full of poetry and books, and had extraordinary talent.

Unfortunately, he was kidnapped by bandits and taken to the mountains. For the sake of his father and brother's lives, he endured humiliation and lived a miserable life.

However, her father and brother were ruthless, heartless and ruthless bastards. After being saved, they wrote a farewell letter and left Kong Qingwan behind.

From that day on, Kong Qingwan lost her father, brother and relatives. In the following years, she taught the guards in the military camp to read and write.

After six years, the number of soldiers in the Royal Guards Camp exceeded 10,000, and everyone was literate, with 30% of them able to read military books. This was all due to Kong Qingwan. She was also respected by all the soldiers in the barracks.

Now, Jiang Shaohua inherited the throne as a princess, became the first female emperor of Daliang, and sat on the supreme dragon throne. Naturally, the people around her also followed suit.

Half of the officials of the Nanyang Palace went to the capital, and 3,000 elite soldiers of the Nanyang Guards also went to the capital. Those who stayed in Nanyang County were also the emperor's confidants, guarding the land of the dragon for the emperor.

The Cui family of Boling and the Lu family of Fanyang also rose with the tide, and the Chen family also rose rapidly. Even the governor Xue, who was related to the Chen family by marriage, was envied by everyone.

Old friends like Feng Changshi, Shen Gongzheng, Wen Zhubu and others soon made more and more friends. Some wrote to him, and some came to Nanyang County to look for him.

However, it was really unexpected that the Kong family had the nerve to come looking for him.

Jiang Shaohua raised his eyebrows, his smile full of sarcasm: "The Kong family is thinking about recognizing their daughter now?"

Sun Zelan also despised Kong Qingwan's father and brother: "Isn't it? In the past few years, whenever they sent a letter or sent a message, it was considered that they still had a conscience."

"Now you come here with a shameless face. Bah! Shame on you!"
