Chapter 441 The Good Wife of Hou in Pingting County
May 1st.
Thanks to Chen Mo's hard work, Wu Mi and Han Aniang became pregnant successively.
After Han Anniang learned that she was pregnant, she felt as if she had eaten honey, her heart was filled with sweetness and joy.
I also went to a Taoist temple to pay my vows that day.
In order to be able to conceive a child, Han Aniang went to the Taoist temple in Xiangyang City to worship Tianzun last month. Now that she was pregnant, she immediately thought that Tianzun had appeared.
Yi Shiyan, Xia Zhining, and Nangong Ru didn't believe this at first, but seeing Han An's behavior, they also went to worship Tianzun together the next day.
Chen Mo, who heard the news, was a little bit dumbfounded.
On the afternoon of May 3rd.
It's sunny.
In the yard, Chen Mo rarely had time to take care of his two children.
Chen Nuo and Chen You are only more than three months old. They are not fussy at all. They eat and sleep. They are still easy to take care of.
While Chen Mo was taking care of his baby, he also had some spare time to do carpentry work, planning to make a few rocking chairs based on his memories from his previous life.
"Zhiqing is recovering well." Xiao Yunxi came over with Zheng'er in her arms. Looking at Xia Zhiqing who was lying on a chair basking in the sun, she casually found a topic and started talking.
After all, Xiao Yunxi is the former Princess Huai, and she is in her thirties, more than ten years older than Xia Zhiqing. Even if she is now Chen Mo's concubine, it is impossible for her to call Xia Zhiqing sister.
However, it is better to be older and have more experience in dealing with things. The best way to get closer is to initiate common topics.
If Xia Zhining heard Xiao Yunxi's condescending "Zhiqing", she would definitely have a bad look on her face, but Xia Zhiqing is different. She doesn't care about her sister, especially after having two children. Flattened.
She smiled and said, "Thanks to Sister Mi'er. If it weren't for her prescription, I wouldn't have recovered so well."
With that said, she said hello to Xiao Zheng: "Zheng'er."
"Hurry up and call your godmother." Xiao Yunxi said.
Xiao Zheng obediently called Xia Zhiqing his godmother and Chen Mo his foster father.
In front of the child, Chen Mo and Xia Zhiqing both pressed sweetly.
Xia Zhiqing said: "Zheng'er is already two years old."
"Almost two and a half years old."
"It's great. I can run, walk and call myself a mother."
"Well, when you and Nuo'er reach this age, you will know how difficult it is to take care of them." Xiao Yunxi touched Xiao Zheng's head. Children of this age are just the time when people hate dogs.
And it will take another two or three years, and it gives me a headache just thinking about it.
"No matter how difficult it is to take care of, it's still my own child." Xia Zhiqing said with a smile.
"That's true." Xiao Yunxi sat down next to Xia Zhiqing and looked at Chen Mo: "What are you doing?"
"Make a rocking chair for the child." Chen Mo said.
"Rocking chair?"
"You can think of it as a child's toy." Chen Mo explained.
Xiao Yunxi said oh.
At this moment, Xia Zhiqing smiled and said: "Zhining is back."
Xia Zhining is in charge of the Suzaku Guard and is still a little busy all day long.
Chen Mo looked up and asked casually: "How is the cannon production going?"
But Xia Zhining didn't answer Chen Mo's question. After walking over, she said angrily: "How many more sisters do we need in the Hou Mansion?"
Chen Mo: "..."
"Zhining, what do you mean by this?" Xia Zhiqing was stunned.
"There is news in the palace that this bastard female musician is going to be rewarded with several people."
As Xia Zhining was talking, Xiao Yunxi knew that the topic was a bit sensitive, so she called the maid and took Xiao Zheng aside.
Xiao Yunxi asked curiously: "Why does the palace reward the prince and daughter with music for no reason?"
Xiao Yunxi knew that all rewards in the palace were given for a reason.
"Xu Guozhong was killed by his general Lu Sheng. The emperor also issued an abdication edict and passed the throne to King Qi." Xia Zhining said.
"What?!"
Chen Mo, Xiao Yunxi, and Xia Zhiqing were all shocked, and their eyes widened a bit.
"Xu Guozhong is dead?" Chen Mo was a little surprised.
"This was sent back from the supervisory guard. I was about to report it to you just now, but I bumped into it, so I will report it to you," Xia Zhining said.
"Isn't Xu Guozhong Lu Sheng's adoptive father? He is patricide." Xia Zhiqing was also extremely surprised. Although the Song Dynasty did not rule the world with filial piety, it put filial piety first, and it still valued filial piety.
Even if he is a foster father, he is a father.
Patricide will be despised by everyone in the world.
"This makes sense. With such a big thing happening in Luonan, Lu Sheng must want to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. Now giving several Nv Le people to the Marquis is just a good sign." After Xiao Yunxi was surprised, Suddenly said.
"If that's the case, it's just a few female musicians. Zhining, you don't have to do this." Xia Zhiqing spoke for Chen Mo.
"Sister, do you know the identities of these female musicians?" Xia Zhining said angrily.
"What identity?"
"Two of them have special status. One is the former queen and the other is Xu Guozhong's eldest daughter-in-law." Xia Zhining said.
"Ex-Queen?" Xiao Yunxi showed a shocked expression: "Queen Liang?"
"Queen Liang is now regarded as the Queen Mother. She is Queen Xu, the daughter of Xu Guozhong." Xia Zhining said.
"Queen Xu, that's it." Xiao Yunxi couldn't react. Even if Lu Sheng came to power to eliminate Xu Guozhong's people, no matter what Empress Xu said, she was still a member of the royal family. This status, even if she was given the status of a female singer Others, how does this bring the royal family’s face?
Chen Mo was also confused.
What does Lu Sheng mean by giving himself a former queen?
Are you trying to show your kindness?
"If I remember correctly, Xu Guozhong's eldest daughter-in-law seems to be a princess, right?" Xia Zhiqing said.
"Yes, she is a princess, or the daughter of the late emperor. She was named Princess Zhaoqing, the emperor's sister. No, she is the former emperor now." Xiao Yunxi is relatively clear about this.
With Xu Guozhong's power, it is not difficult for his eldest son to marry a princess.
"A former queen, a princess Zhaoqing, this..." Xiao Yunxi didn't know what to say.
Xia Zhining crossed her arms and looked at Chen Mo with a sneer.
"Why are you looking at me like that? What does this have to do with me? I didn't ask for this. I'm still confused now." Chen Mo was indeed confused, but anyone else would be confused as well.
"Don't tell me that you are not tempted." Xia Zhining knew Chen Mo too well, and then said: "Now there are rumors in Luonan that the Marquis of Pingting County is a good wife, and all the female musicians given by the palace this time are all She is a wife."
When she said this, Xia Zhining couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yunxi.
"Look at what I'm doing." Xiao Yunxi felt extremely uncomfortable being looked at, but she couldn't help but spit at Chen Mo in her heart.
"Slander, this is a huge slander." Chen Mo immediately shouted that he was wronged and said: "Who the hell spread this? If I let this prince know, he will be chopped up alive."
