Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 171

To be more precise, the queen is not about to give birth when the time comes, but the fetal gas is activated, which leads to early mobilization.

The emperor hurriedly arrived at the Shouhe Palace where the empress was. Rong Shuyi and several maids were kneeling outside the house. Seeing the emperor coming, Rong Shuyi cried and looked up at the emperor, and knelt there without saying a word.

"What's going on." The queen in the room cried out in pain from time to time, Rong Shuyi glanced at the room, and kowtowed to Xiao Jingyi, "Your Majesty, it was the fault of the concubine, who offended the empress, it was the concubine's fault." wrong."

Naturally, the people in the room are more important at the moment, Xiao Jingyi stretched out his hand to help Rong Shuyi up, and handed it to the maid at the side, "Go to the side room and wait." He hurried into the room.

The empress dowager arrived one step earlier than the emperor, so she could see the scene at the door, but now there is something more important than the children in the room, the empress dowager just glanced at the emperor and asked him to sit down.

Now the emperor has a son and a daughter, the daughter was born to Concubine Liang, and the son was born to Jieyu at that time, now enfeoffed as Zhaoyi, but he was weak when he was born, and now he is still thin and thin at the age of two, so the empress Embryo birth is particularly valued.

For Xiao Jingyi, there was only one son and one daughter in the five years of marriage, and the heirs were indeed thin. The queen had a miscarriage before, and this one was conceived after several years.

From time to time, the queen screamed in pain, and the emperor could see the bowls in the hands of the maids who came in and out. The imperial physicians were already waiting outside, and they would go in when the situation changed. This is not a natural trigger when the time is up. Ask for more.

It was also time to wait, and the empress dowager mentioned the reason why the empress was hit, "I heard that Ai's family was hit, and this Rong Shuyi came to pay her respects, but the queen just taught a few words and there was a conflict. Concubine, it is not suitable to stay in the palace."

Xiao Jingyi didn't know the cause and effect, so he sent someone in to question, saying that it was Rong Shuyi who came to pay her respects this morning. The empress mentioned the matter of building pavilions in the Chaohua Palace. Allocating a large amount of silver taels, the national treasury is already tight, how can it be so extravagant and wasteful.

Rong Shuyi, who had been favored for several years, was naturally unwilling, so she directly carried it out to the emperor. The emperor allowed her to build the pavilion and dance for the emperor to make the emperor happy.

Isn't it the duty of a harem woman to serve the emperor well, and she is not wrong.

The tone must be bad when arguing, otherwise, how could the queen be angry? This is already about to give birth, and when she is angry, she will directly move her fetus.

The queen's face changed and she covered her belly. The Liang concubine who had given birth soon realized that the queen was about to give birth. Rong Shuyi was a little frightened. Some of the concubines said that she was angry with the queen, so she He knelt outside the house until the emperor appeared just now.

"Rong Shuyi didn't do it on purpose." Xiao Jingyi spoke for Rong Shuyi, "The grandson also knew about the pavilion before, and unintentionally offended the queen, so she will confess her mistake to the queen."

The empress dowager held her breath in her throat, looked at the emperor, finally raised her body and lowered herself, sat down on the chair, sighed and said nothing.

The emperor made such a statement, what else can she say, she is old, she can't care about it, and she doesn't want to care about it. The past two years are not enough to confirm what she thought at the beginning. The first emperor made a wrong choice. It was still a wrong choice. The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law left Luodu City for the sake of the emperor. They were afraid of being criticized. Now who can persuade them.

After nearly an hour, there was finally a cry of a baby in the room, and soon a steady woman came out, holding the baby wrapped in a small quilt in her arms, with a smile all over her face, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are a prince."

For Xiao Jingyi, the mood of being a father must be unusual. He immediately got up and walked to the door. Still dissatisfied with struggling for a while, the Empress Dowager smiled and said hello three times, "Our Xiao family has a successor!"

The soft and sticky child Xiao Jingyi didn't dare to hug him yet. He went in to see the queen who hadn't fallen asleep. The smell in the room was still there. He sat by the bed, held the queen's hand, and said sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, the emperor has seen the child." The queen raised her eyes and looked at the child who was carried back. She was not asleep, she opened her eyes and was in good spirits, but she was uncomfortable in the swaddling baby, and her brows were tightly frowned.

"The child is fine. You should rest well and take care of your body. I have heard about Rong Shuyi's assault on you, and I will give you an explanation." The queen still rarely sees the emperor so gentle, it should be said that it was after the wedding that year Well, there are too many concubines in the harem, so she has little chance to develop a relationship with the emperor.

He was also tired. He nodded and the queen lay down. Xiao Jingyi walked outside the house. The news of the queen's successful delivery had already spread. When he arrived in the side room, Rong Shuyi sat there with red and swollen eyes. On the ground, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't do it on purpose. If the queen empress really has something, the concubine would die ten thousand times without regret."

"Get up." This is still in the Shouhe Palace, and there are still people from the Shouhe Palace outside, Xiao Jingyi naturally wants to do this enough, looking at her with a sullen face, "The queen mother and child are safe, otherwise you will die ten thousand times." Not a pity."

"It's my concubine's fault, I beg the emperor to punish me, my concubine shouldn't have said these things at this time, offended the empress, and made her angry." Rong Shuyi knelt there and begged.

"You shouldn't say such unreasonable things to the queen at any time. Now that the queen has successfully given birth to the prince, you will be fined for three months and your salary for half a year. Come and bring Ronghua back to Chaohua Palace." Birth, definitely does not advocate heavy punishment for killing, Rong Shuyi was taken out, Xiao Jingyi had a smile on his face, the empress's birth of a son should not be amnesty

Luodu City was boiling for a while. The queen gave birth to a healthy son, which is equivalent to being the emperor's successor. The three banquets are a big event. When the emperor mentioned the matter of pardon, it was to pray for the newborn child. Pardon Many people were sentenced to death, and many people's sins were pardoned.

It was true that Prince Bei and the others were right. When they learned that there was a pardon, they guessed what the emperor meant. Sure enough, after saying this, the emperor mentioned Mr. Shao, the Minister of the Interior who was still in prison.

It was greed for disaster relief money, but the money was recovered, and the people were also captured, so people had to have a chance to cover it up and amnesty the world, and this capital crime was naturally avoided.

Capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped, but this living crime must be dealt with severely.

This time, Prince Bei and the others really relied on the suggestion of the 'arrogant' General Long to kill the sentence of dismissal, ransacking, and expulsion from Luodu City. Some people can be pardoned, but some crimes cannot be pardoned. This is a matter of concern to the world. Liming people, one official is like this, if there are officials to follow suit in the future, how can this world be governed, how good it is, even if it is to imitate others, this time should be severely punished, the birth of a prince should not be murdered, then he will be dismissed and expelled from Luodu City .

Not every time it can be protected, without the support of officials, the overhead emperor is actually nothing.

All the officials will support those who want to be virtuous and capable, but at this time, many who had a good relationship with Mr. Shao at that time did not dare to stand up and speak for Mr. Shao. A mistake is a mistake, and it is a mistake that caused public anger. If you protect it, That must be suppressing you together.

In the end, the emperor compromised.

Removal, find out and hand over all the money that has been corrupted over the years, Shao Changfeng's family was driven out of Luodu City, I made a mistake, and my son was also injured. An official document came out, and Shao Zi was demoted and sent to another country. This faction must not have been three years old. five years, but a lifetime
Until Master Shao left Luodu City with Mrs. Shao, Shao Ziyu met him a few times in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but Lin Qingran never saw him.

It was embarrassing enough to be brought back from the south all the way, and after staying in the sky prison for so long, maybe when I left Luodu City, I didn't have a good night's sleep or a safe meal.

Shao Ziyu checked out all the money embezzled by Mr. Shao over the years, and put it into houses, shops, Zhuangzi, etc., and finally left it to Mr. Shao and his wife. In the end, there were only a few dozen taels left.

Dozens of taels of silver can last for decades for an ordinary farmer, but for a person who spends most of his life in a luxurious life, what a few taels of silver can do.

It's a pity to encounter this at such an advanced age, but after all, I can't escape the four words of taking the blame.

Lin Qingran didn't have time to express so much. The Shao family was busy preparing for the wedding. In a few days, Shao Jinghan, the eldest son of the Shao family, was going to get married.

It has been May and a half since Lin Qingran has been busy moving to a new house, taking care of the new mansion, decorating, and sending wedding invitations to guests.

Lin Qingran was talking to Si Qin about the additional additions to the menu, when Si Qi came over with a happy face, "Miss, the Chen family's dowry has been brought over."

Lin Qingran rushed to the front hall, and the leading drummer blew all the way into Shao's house before stopping, followed by the dowry bearers who carried them in one after another, filling the entire courtyard.

When the Shao family sent the dowry, the momentum was quite strong, but now the Chen family is not to be outdone. The relationship between the two families has become closer because of what happened last year. The second young master of the Chen family handed over the dowry list to Lin Qingran, and kept it After eating, these dowries were placed in the front yard for half a day, and then they were carried to Shao Jinghan's yard and put into the warehouse prepared for them.

After seeing off the second young master of the Chen family, another guest came to the house, the second sister who came to give gifts.

Lin Qingran took her back to the house, "It will be fine if it is delivered in a few days. I thought the second sister was here to help me."

"You still need my help." Lin Qingyan glanced at her, "I'm talking about business with you, do you know the generals beside General Long Helong!"

Lin Qingran shook her head, "Those guarding Yanzhou City know a little bit, but those on the border don't."

"I heard from the master that one of the generals beside General Long has a surname He." Lin Qingran was slightly startled, and it took a long time to realize what she meant by the surname He, "You mean, and About Miss Jin Jiasan?"

"Your second brother-in-law heard General Long call that general Ah He." Lin Qingyan also expressed some disbelief, "Your second brother-in-law also said that the more you look at it, the more he looks like it. I don't believe it. In that way, if you are out of breath, how can you still be alive."

"That's just the same surname." Lin Qingran nodded, "It's too far from the border."

"Your second brother-in-law still refuses to admit it, and he refuses to ask about it. He thinks what the outcome will be. Whatever he says is fine. People were beaten like this back then. He hates the Jin family." Lin Qingyan looked at her, "You Said, what's the use of holding this matter in his heart, he's been talking about it these days, and he didn't tell his uncle and aunt when he was talking about it."

"Second brother-in-law is right to worry. Even if he didn't die, the Jin family beat him half to death and discarded him like this. How could they not hold grudges? Besides, there is also the matter of the third miss of the Jin family. They were the ones who broke it up. "

Lin Qingyan didn't think so, "Whether it's true or not, I think you'll know if you ask clearly. Your second brother-in-law has a lot of worries, and yes, it's clear. If it's not for us, don't worry about it anymore. If you really want to bear the grudge, don't you recognize him? Don't hold grudges anymore? Prince Bei has always been in charge of entertaining General Long, and your family, Zi Yu, is close to their family again, so you go and find out for Second Sister."
