Chapter 823: Yan Wushuang Proclaims Emperor (2)

Yan Wushuang proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country to Yan, and changed the name of the reign to Jingxi. Yan Wushuang's first imperial decree when he ascended the throne was to posthumously confer the title of a woman named Bai Xu.

Master Xia, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, looked at the imperial decree with a bitter face. The posthumous queen has only one name and nothing in her life. He doesn't know how to deal with it.

Yuchen was not surprised because he had guessed this result a long time ago. But Mrs. Xiang didn't know that since she and her son returned to the palace, Yan Wushuang's attitude towards her has improved a lot, which made her startled again. Therefore, this time when Yan Wushuang came to the throne, she had the idea of ​​becoming a queen in her heart, but in the end she made a woman whose name she had never even heard of.

Since Yuchen was the housekeeper, Nanny Gui took the opportunity to secretly place some people in various courtyards. Although the women in the backyard are very vigilant and they can't get close to them, they can still get some news from the outside.

Nanny Gui said to Yuxi: "Madam, Mrs. Xiang smashed everything in the house again." Mrs. Xiang not only likes to beat people, but also likes to smash things. I don't know how many times the furnishings in the house have been changed.

Yuchen said indifferently: "There are rules for the things she uses, and she makes up for how much she spends." In the past, if things broke, they would be reported directly, and new ones would be replaced soon. But after Yuchen took charge of general affairs, he stipulated that, except for certain exceptions, other damaged things had to be repaired from his own house.

Nanny Gui said: "Last time we made a fuss, I don't know if it will happen again this time?"

Yuchen shook his head and said: "Xiangshi is not stupid, she won't make trouble at this time." Yan Wushuang has already conferred the title of Queen, and will soon confer them. If Xiang Shi makes a fuss at this time, it will affect her position if Yan Wushuang is upset.

Nanny Gui said: "I don't know what position the emperor will give to the empress?" She hoped that Yuchen could be canonized as the imperial concubine, which is second only to the empress.

Yuchen said: "I guess it's the noble concubine." For the sake of Achi and Abao, her status is definitely not low.

As Yuchen expected, the imperial decree was issued the next day, and Yan Wushuang canonized her as a noble concubine. And Mrs. Xiang didn't even get the fourth concubine, but Zhaoyi who was canonized as the third grade. The other ranks that gave birth to offspring did not surpass Xiangshi, and the ranks that did not bear children were all below the fourth rank.

Yuchen was a little surprised by this result, but Nanny Gui was very happy, so that no one in the harem threatened Yuchen's status.

Yan Wushuang's enthronement ceremony was kept simple, and the canonization of Yuchen and Mrs. Xiang naturally went through a formality. Yuchen didn't care, but Mrs. Xiang gritted her silver teeth.

That night, the black widow sat on a chair bored and said to the cheetah, "It's almost moldy."

The cheetah said: "The princess has orders not to act rashly, so you can't disobey her orders. Otherwise, we will have nothing to eat if I offend the princess." Yan Wushuang has always wanted to catch him, so the black widow was in charge of the outside affairs during this time . Of course, the cheetah knew about the agitation for Zhou Yan's Zen position.

The black widow said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Speaking of this, the black widow couldn't help gossiping: "I heard that the prince and the princess are now blending oil with each other since they were ill, and they are as good as one person. "

Cheetah said with a dark face: "Master's affairs should not be discussed indiscriminately." Cheetah is a serious person. Although he is in charge of intelligence work in the capital, he himself does not like to talk about such gossip.

The black widow smiled and said: "I'm not talking nonsense, the better the relationship between the prince and the concubine, then there will be no worries." When she heard that Yuxi and Yunqing had a quarrel before, she was very worried.

Cheetah agrees with what the Black Widow said, but he still feels that it is inappropriate to talk about Yunqing and Yuxi, so he changed the subject: "Only Zhou Yan knows the secret way of the palace, and I want him to hand over the map of the secret way, I'm afraid I can only agree to his conditions." Zhou Yan's condition was to help him escape from the capital and be imprisoned for ten years.

Zhou Yan really wants ZìYóu.

As soon as she got down to business, the Black Widow's attitude changed: "If this secret way is used well, Yan Wushuang can be killed."

Falcon shook his head and said, "It's not that easy? Yan Wushuang is surrounded by a cloud of guards, and guards are outside the door when he sleeps at night. It's as difficult as going to heaven to assassinate him."

The black widow said indifferently: "Even if you can't assassinate Yan Wushuang, you must get the map. After the prince conquers the capital, he will definitely bring the princess and the son to live in the palace. If we don't master this secret way, we will An aftermath."

Cheetah nodded and said: "This matter depends on what the prince and princess want!"

The black widow hummed and said: "Let's delay Zhou Yan's side first, and let him be as anxious as possible." They were not in a hurry, but Zhou Yan was the one who was in a hurry. Maybe there would be unexpected surprises after such a delay. !

Cheetah nodded and said, "Okay."

The news that Yuchen was canonized as a noble concubine soon spread to Haocheng. Yu Xi didn't feel anything about it, but Madam Quan said with emotion: "The appearance of Qingcheng may not be a blessing."

Yuxi lay in the bathtub, closed her eyes and said: "Mama, think about the fate of the other concubines of Emperor Taichang, and then look at the third sister." Without this alluring appearance, Yuchen would have died long ago. Can enjoy the glory and wealth again.

After a pause, Yuxi said: "The third sister has a son and a daughter, and now she is canonized as a noble concubine. As long as she cherishes the day, she will live well."

Sister Quan sighed and said, "It would be great if everyone knew this truth."

Yuxi felt that there was something to be said, and asked, "What's the matter? Who in the whole family has a moth again?" Except for her and Yunqing, even a few children respected Mammy Quan. Not to mention the maid and mother-in-law. Therefore, the only thing that can bother Mammy Quan is the whole family.

Sister Quan didn't hide it from Yu Xi, and said: "Mr. Xu is going to leave with Zheng Yu. My nephew and daughter-in-law can't ask me anymore. Let me persuade you."

This kind of thing can no longer cause Yuxi to make any waves. It was also for the sake of Nanny Quan that Yuxi would ask a few more questions: "Why did Mrs. Xu want to reconcile?" There are sons and daughters, and no one is willing to reconcile this woman if she can live on. Will think about and leave. What's more, Xu's natal family is still in ruins, if they are not forced to nowhere, they will definitely not reconcile.

Mother Quan smiled wryly and said: "That Mrs. Xue is vicious and slandered Brother Mao for harming the child she gave birth to. In a fit of anger, Zheng Yu beat Brother Mao half to death. Mrs. Xu was furious and proposed a divorce." He has two sons, and Brother Mao is the eldest.

Quan Zhengyu thought that he was dragged down by Mr. Xu before he lost his official position, so he was extremely indifferent to Mrs. Xu, and he didn't like the two children born by Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu was not a fool either. Seeing that Quan Zhengyu was unreliable, she tightly held the dowry in her hands, not to let him be affected.

Although Yuxi sentenced Quan Zhengyu lightly, all the ill-gotten gains were confiscated. As for Xu's dowry and Quan Zhengyu's original property, they were not touched, but Quan Zhengyu himself did not accumulate any money. Therefore, after being dismissed from office, the relationship between husband and wife became worse because of money matters. But for the sake of her two children, Xu endured it. This time Brother Mao was beaten, Xu couldn't bear it anymore, so he proposed to divorce.

Yuxi didn't ask about the details, but said: "Since Mrs. Xu insists on reconciling, you can't stop her." Because Yuxi has been very protective of women's interests after taking power, women's status in the Northwest is higher than before. few. At least the woman submits a petition to the government to reconcile, and the government will deal with it fairly.

Sister Quan smiled wryly and said, "Heli can't be stopped, but Mrs. Xu is going to leave with two children."

With Yu Xi's status, she naturally has no scruples when speaking: "If it were me, I would take the child away. If she stays in the Xu family, the child may die within two years."

Sister Quan said: "Brother Kuan followed Xu's surname, it is understandable for her to take it away. But Brother Mao's surname is Quan, if Xu takes it away, how can the whole family hold their heads up?" Sister Quan thought Intervene in this matter, otherwise she wouldn't mention it to Yuxi.

Yu Xi smiled and said, "Nurse, just say what you have to say!"

Mother Quan said: "As the princess said, if you let Brother Mao stay with the whole family, you may be killed by that poisonous woman within two years. But if you let Mrs. Xu take Brother Mao away, the whole family will lose face." Princess, I want Brother Mao to serve as servants in the mansion, I wonder if it is possible?" Mammy Quan didn't want her nephews from her natal family to work in the mansion before, because she didn't want them to become slaves. But today is not what it used to be, when Yunqing calms down the world, even if they are slaves, they will still be servants of the royal family. Furthermore, if brother Mao can work under Shizi or some other young master in the future, his future will not be bad.

Who is Yuxi, and she can tell what Quanma's plan is when she hears it: "Ah Hao and Brother Rui are getting older, and after a year or so, they will have to add someone to their side. If the whole family still has a suitable candidate, you can Bring them into the house together." Buying from outside is not as good as knowing the basics. Of course, people can enter the mansion, but whether they can serve as errands beside Brother Hao and Brother Rui depends on whether Fu meets the conditions. If it is an elm lump, it will definitely not work.

Sister Quan hesitated but shook her head and said, "The others are not suitable." Brother Mao is literate and intelligent, so he has a high probability of finding a good future after entering the mansion. The other children are not very clever, and it is not easy to find a good future. Instead of this, it is better to live a simple life in the countryside where the sun goes out and the sun goes in.

Sister Quan has experienced too much wind and rain, so she wanted to live a simple life. But her nephew and grand-nephew haven't experienced anything, and naturally feel that even being a handyman in the palace is better than farming in the countryside. Of course, it's not that Mammy Quan doesn't know what her nephews and grandchildren think, it's just that she doesn't want to bother anymore.

Seeing this, Yu Xi didn't say anything more.

That night, Yunqing also talked about the capital with Yuxi, saying: "Yuxi, Yan Wushuang canonized Han Yuchen as a concubine but not Yan Hengli as prince. What is he planning?" Yan Hengli , is A Chi's name.

Yu Xi didn't think much about it, but said: "Among Yan Wushuang's seven sons, Yan Hengli is the most outstanding. So he must be the crown prince." As for Yan Wushuang's plans, Yu Xi Didn't waste time thinking about it. Because it has nothing to do with them.

Yun Qing said with a smile: "My Ah Hao is much better than Yan Hengli." When he said this, there was a sense of pride and pride.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xi immediately said: "Ah Hao is very talented and savvy, but there are heaven and man outside the sky and there are people outside the sky. So, it's okay to say this in front of me, but you can't show it in front of Ah Hao. I'm afraid the child will listen too much. proud and complacent."

Yun Qing doesn't like to hear these words: "You are too strict with Ah Hao." Yun Qing thinks Brother Hao is good everywhere, no one can compare to him.

Yu Xi glared at Yun Qing, and said: "Although Ah Hao looks very calm, but after all, he is still young and has little experience. If you keep holding him, you are doing him harm." After recovering from illness, Yun Qing was a little doting on the children, not to mention beating them, and never scolding them much.

Every time she saw Yunqing's attitude towards several children, Yuxi was a little thankful that she didn't have any more children. Otherwise, if another child comes out, Yunqing will definitely be able to raise a dude or a charming girl. As for Brother Rui and the others, because they don't spend much time with Yunqing when they grow up, the influence is not big.

Yun Qing was most afraid that Yu Xi would get angry, so he hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "Yes, I said something wrong. Ah Hao is our eldest son, and he will take on heavy responsibilities in the future, so he has to be strict."

Yu Xi snorted coldly and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you."

Yun Qing coaxed Yu Xi for a long time, and seeing that Yu Xi's face softened a lot, he said something: "Brother Rui and the others are also seven years old, shouldn't it be time to find a companion for them to read?"

Yuxi snorted and said: "Why do you think of choosing a companion for Brother Rui and the others?"

Yun Qing said: "When Ah Hao was seven years old, we chose a companion for him. Naturally, we have to treat the children equally."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "I chose a reading companion for Ah Hao. Firstly, I want him to have a few playmates, and secondly, it is also to pave the way for his future." At this point, Yuxi deliberately paused and said: "Brother Rui Their situation is different from Ah Hao's. The three brothers are together again, so they don't need any playmates. If you choose a companion for them to read, they won't be happy!"

Yun Qing felt that he couldn't treat one more favorably than another, so he thought for a while and said, "Then I will ask their opinions tomorrow. If they want to read with them, we will choose for them. If not, let's put this matter aside for now."

Yuxi's prediction is correct. As soon as Brother Yu heard Yun Qing's words, he said: "I have a second brother and a third brother, what do you want to accompany me?" He didn't want to insert a few strangers in.

Yun Qing asked Brother Rui and Brother Xuan: "What's your opinion?" If the three brothers are unwilling, then they don't force it.

Brother Rui doesn't reject the matter of accompanying him, but Brother Yu objected to him to support his brother: "Father, there's no need."

Brother Xuan thought about Yin Zhaofeng, the guard next to Zao Zao, hesitated and said: "Father, I don't need to accompany you, but I want a guard with strong martial arts." He is not very good at martial arts, so he is not afraid to go out with a strong guard up.

Yun Qing was a little surprised, but still smiled and said: "The guards will definitely be equipped for you, but you are still young, it will take a few years." Now that the triplets are all in the palace, it is a waste to equip them with separate guards resource.

Brother Xuan was a little disappointed.

Brother Rui patted Brother Xuan on the shoulder heavily and said, "Ah Xuan, it's better to ask yourself than to ask others." His martial arts are strong enough to protect himself, so what kind of guards do he need?

Brother Xuan gritted his teeth in pain and said, "Second brother, take it easy."

Brother Yu said: "Kungfu needs to be practiced well, but guards are also indispensable. Dad, can we choose the bodyguards ourselves?"

It is a good thing that several children have a sense of prevention. Yun Qing smiled and said, "Of course."

ps: The daughter next door to me will have a drink tomorrow, and many people work in his house. An old woman in the village complained to everyone, saying how unfilial her two stepson are. o(╯□╰)o, why didn't she talk about the fact that she drove the two children out and didn't give food to others, and spent the night outside in the cold winter...
