Chapter 441
The young lady smiled and said, "Is my daughter such a stupid person? Mother, don't worry, my daughter knows what to do."

The madam also talked about the errands of the Duke and the eldest son. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Duke's Mansion is already an extremely human minister, and the most powerful among the nobles.The mighty Marquis Su Lan, who has a close relationship with the emperor, is also in power now, but compared to the powerful and powerful Duke Protector's Mansion, he is still a step back.

"Mother is still the same old saying, if the emperor wants to use your younger brother, you must refuse. Say more bad things about your younger brother and shortcomings. If there are people in the Chu family who rely on the emperor's relatives to do anything wrong, don't be soft, and kill relatives righteously if necessary."

Madam said again: "People are not good for a thousand days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days. What kind of style was the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion back then? Now it is a yellow flower of yesterday, but it has to rely on the mighty Marquis Wu to support the lintel. Therefore, if a family wants to stand for a long time It is unrealistic not to fall. Our Chu family is now forced to become a descendant, and no one can predict the future fate. All of us must be prepared for danger in times of peace and be cautious in our words and deeds."

The young lady nodded solemnly, and said that she would not disappoint the lady, and she knew what to do for the glory of the family.

During the young lady's confinement period, a minister immediately wrote a letter saying that the crown prince's harem was empty, and another side concubine should be added to fill the harem.

The prince did not agree.I didn't spend the night with other concubines, but I would visit Miss every day, play with Princess Rui, and give Prince Ding a hug.

The other concubines could only take the initiative to come to Kangrui Palace, find various excuses to stay, and see if they could win the Prince's favor.

The lady knew it well, but she didn't tell the truth when she saw it.

When the prince saw them, he was still very amiable, asked about their health conditions, and rewarded them with a lot of delicious fruits from various places.Knowing that Zhou Liangyuan likes calligraphy, he specially rewarded him with a set of precious four treasures of the study.Knowing that Lu Cairen loves to dance, he specially rewarded several bolts of precious feather gauze and satin, and a pair of soft-soled shoes made of gold and silk.The other concubines also rewarded a lot of good things according to their different hobbies.And let them go back, work hard to develop their personal interests, and then assess them at the end of the year.

The concubines left happily.

Under the careful care of Mother Kong, the confinement lady has almost returned to her slender and charming girlhood.

The first thing after confinement is to sacrifice to the Taimiao and hold the canonization ceremony of the crown princess.In addition to the full moon banquet of King Dingjun, it was very lively.

The prince is really nice to the lady, and occasionally he will take the lady out of the palace to play for half a day.On New Year's Eve this year, the prince handed over all the income from the East Palace to the young lady.

The lady looked at the prince in surprise.

The prince took it for granted, "Among the folks, all the money a man earns is handed over to his daughter-in-law. From now on, all the income in Dongying will be taken care of by you."

The young lady looked at each account book, her eyes widened: "Your Highness, are you really willing? These are not small sums."

The prince said: "It's only natural for a daughter-in-law to manage money, and that's what my father did when he was still the prince."

The emperor and empress do have a deep love between husband and wife, whether it is court or folk, it is well-known.

But the young lady frowned slightly, appearing preoccupied.

After the prince left, Madam Kong saw that the young lady was in a bad mood, and said in a puzzled way: "Your Highness loves Your Majesty, and entrusting such important errands to Your Majesty's hands proves that Your Highness has His Majesty in his heart. Why is Your Majesty still depressed?"

The young lady said: "I'm afraid I'm afraid that I will lose my looks in the future and love to ride. No matter how high you stand now, you will fall as hard as you will fall in the future."

I think the lady is very sensible, and she has not been lost by the prince's rhetoric.But I also feel that Miss is worrying unnecessarily.It is reasonable for such an excellent lady to be liked by the prince.Even if she gets old in the future, she will still be the most beautiful and elegant middle-aged woman, or an old lady, just like her wife, and she will still be respected and loved by men.

The prince's kindness to the young lady is well known inside and outside the palace.Naturally, a group of jealous people will be attracted to intentionally slander the young lady, saying that the young lady is jealous and can't bear others, and occupies the crown prince alone.

These people were really full, and the young lady was in the harem, and she couldn't hear their scolding, so she ran to gossip in front of the Duke and Madam.

But the Duke and Madam were not used to them, and they were speechless with the words "Which one of my Dasheng's laws violated the harmony between husband and wife?"

As for these people’s excuses such as "As a prince, you should share the rain and dew. Instead of favoring the princess and concubine alone", the Duke directly said: "The crown prince is dignified, and it is me who does not pay attention to beauty." Waiting for the blessings of the courtiers. Or do you want to have a greedy and lustful king who lies on the belly of a woman all day and doesn't even care about state affairs?"

The young lady is indeed competitive. Although she is favored, she has always kept a low profile, serving the empress dowager and queen wholeheartedly, treating concubines kindly, raising the heirs of the emperor, and is well-known inside and outside the palace.

And the lady's belly is also up to date. After entering the palace for twelve years, she salivated two princesses and four grandsons for the prince. No one regrets the status of the prince concubine.

After the young lady was thirty-two years old, she decided to seal her belly and stop having children. After all, the average child was born every two or three years over the years, which would cause great harm to the body.

During the period, among the original ten concubines, three made mistakes and were imprisoned in Qiutong Palace, and one died of illness.The eldest grandson of the emperor also died due to a cold, and Li Liangdi couldn't bear the blow, so she followed.Since then, there have been no newcomers in the East Palace.

When Miss was thirty-five years old, the emperor passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne.

The young lady has decided to seal her belly, but she doesn't want to eat the bitter soup of avoiding children, so she takes the initiative to draft for the emperor, and also releases the control of the harem.

Madam once warned Miss not to let go of the harem.Men can't stand the temptation, and the emperor is in his prime. Once the harem is released, it is impossible for the young lady to keep the favor she has enjoyed for many years. Not to mention, the battle for the harem and the battle for the position will be bloody again .

The young lady smiled wryly: "Falling love, this is an eternal law that has never changed. The emperor has no favors for me. Some are just out of respect for my first wife."

Although the young lady is well maintained, she can't withstand the ravages of the years. With the fresh and delicious newcomers as flowers and jade, the gap is revealed.

When the emperor was still the prince, he still had to be scruples about the emperor's father, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous in women's sex.Now proclaiming the emperor, there is no restraint, so naturally you have to let go of your hands and feet to enjoy.

Many emperors worked hard in the early stage, but in the later stage they became obsessed with women.Although nothing can be seen yet, there are already signs.

It is impossible for the lady to be a virtuous queen and give earnest advice. After all, honest words are not good, and it will only backfire.Miss's strategy is to let the emperor favor these beauties to his heart's content, and she is also very generous to these beauties, but she will not allow them to become pregnant.

Everyone knows that Miss has a body that is easy to conceive, and Miss is also physically strong.And these beauties, in order to compete for favor, all used tricks to send the signal "I am weak and sick" to the emperor.The young lady also let them be weak and sick, fed with good medicinal materials, delicious food and drink, and the imperial doctor was always ready.Within three years, most of these beauties lost their favor due to their long-term pampering and out of shape.

Of course, there are also some concubines who are naturally beautiful or have a tough heart. After several years of pampering, they still maintain a vigorous vitality and a slender figure.

To deal with this group of people, the lady's strategy is to show favor.When they are favored, try their best to win them over.When they fell out of favor, they also cared about them in various ways, and took the initiative to help them regain favor, suppressed the concubines who stepped on them, and loved them very much, and soon attracted a group of high-ranking concubines to come to their side.

The young lady also allowed some concubines who kept themselves safe to give birth to children.

Of course, there are also some concubines who don't care about the lady's favor. Although there is no threat to the lady's succession, the character of being prepared for danger in times of peace that the lady has cultivated since childhood still makes the lady act.

On the surface, in front of the emperor, the lady spoke all the good things about them, cared for them in various ways, and expressed sympathy and praise for their loyalty to serving the emperor away from the family.And arrange for all the princes and princesses to be filial in front of the emperor, and hold parent-child activities from time to time.Let the biological mothers of the princes and princesses also participate.

The emperor was immersed in a strong parent-child atmosphere, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to the moaning of those childless concubines.

The concubines who have children are also grateful to the young lady, and everyone inside and outside the palace praises the young lady as a truly virtuous, benevolent and righteous generation of empresses.

The emperor, who felt the joy of the family, also praised the young lady as a real virtuous wife from time to time.

The lady also smiled and played the role of husband and wife with the emperor, and was moved by the emperor's respect and love for her over the years.It is also said that the emperor is a rare Mingjun in the world, and he is also a responsible and accomplished husband.It is her blessing to be able to marry the emperor, anyway, she can wear all kinds of high hats to her heart's content.

Occasionally, the emperor would blame himself, showing guilt, holding the young lady's hand, and saying, "Wenwen, I failed you."

The young lady said seriously: "Your majesty, please don't say that. You are the king of a country, and all the beauty in the world belongs to you. But the emperor restrained me for many years, and let the concubine give birth to a child without worry before letting go of the harem. The concubine has already Very satisfied. Everyone knows that there are endless battles in the harem, but my concubine was able to safely give birth to four princes and two princesses. I can't do without the emperor's escort. The emperor's love for my concubine will always be remembered by my concubine. Just a few children, From time to time, they say in front of their concubines that the father is the person they admire most in this life. The father is not only the light of their life direction, but also the greatest and most remarkable father in their hearts."

The emperor's eyes were moist, and he held the young lady's hand and said, "Wenwen, being able to marry you is a blessing in my life. The children are also taught very well by you, and I am very grateful to you."

Then the lady is all kinds of high hats, and she is moved and guilty when talking about the emperor.

Later, the emperor gradually stopped trusting those favorite concubines, and began to rest in the lady's palace for a long time, and rewarded the lady in various ways.

These favored concubines fought all kinds of favors to no avail, so they naturally vented their anger on the young lady, saying all kinds of bad things about the young lady in front of the emperor.

Although the emperor couldn't stand the temptation of beauty, he was not the kind of cold-hearted emperor, and he still had a bit of benevolence and old love.Miss's virtuousness, understanding, forbearance and humiliation are well known in the emperor's heart.In addition, the lady put a high hat on the emperor, and the concubines just hit the gunpoint. Not only were they reprimanded by the emperor, they were also demoted three thousand miles from concubine to talented person, and moved to Yongxiang.There is no hope in this life.

Regardless of previous suspicions, the young lady fished them out of Yongxiang, and told the emperor that the father and brother of these people were important officials of the court. Even if they made mistakes, they would be given some face because of their dedication to the country and the court.

The emperor said angrily: "You still plead for them, you don't know how they speak ill of you in front of me."

The young lady said generously: "Who doesn't talk about people's right and wrong behind their backs? I don't know how many people's interests have been affected by this concubine. Even the emperor, although the emperor is a Mingjun, has also affected the interests of many aristocratic families. They are naturally full of complaints behind their backs. Didn't the emperor just let it go?"

The emperor said: "This is different. The aristocratic family and the big family have to move the whole body, and they have to draw it slowly. Even if they are dissatisfied with me, they can only complain behind my back. But the concubines in the harem dare to attack the queen so blatantly under my nose." , this wind cannot rise. Otherwise, where is your majesty, Wenwen?"

Then, regardless of the queen's objection, the emperor put all the concubines who spoke ill of the queen into limbo. Even their father and brother were demoted, and those who lost their positions lost their positions.

With the emperor's love and protection, who would dare not pay attention to the young lady?

But the lady remained calm and sensible.

The Duke Huguo's mansion is a prominent descendant family, and the young lady doesn't protect the family too much. She often talks about the shortcomings of the brothers in front of the emperor, and asks the emperor not to value them too much, and treat them as ordinary courtiers.After all, the power of the Duke Protector's Mansion has already reached the sky, and they cannot continue to give them favors, so as not to feed their ambitions.

But the more the lady said this, the more the emperor liked to use several men.

The four men in the Duke's Mansion all have good errands.

Most of the young lady's brothers have received real jobs.

The power of the Duke's Mansion has reached unprecedented levels.

But the Duke's Mansion split up when the eldest son's eldest son was eight years old.

The fifth son was also separated from the clan by the old man.Because the fifth son married a married woman and entered the house, the old man felt ashamed.

It's not that the Duke Protector's House did not do anything wrong by relying on his descendant's status. They were all exterminated by the young lady righteously, ranging from betrothed to family, and expelled from the family.

Both inside and outside the palace praised Miss as a good queen.

But the lady still didn't relax. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was such a wise and mighty emperor, didn't he become paranoid in his later years?
The young lady often studies history books, and from time to time tells the prince about the various stupid behaviors of the stupid kings of the past dynasties, so that the prince can take this as a warning.He also told the prince the merits and faults of the Ming emperors of the past dynasties, so that the prince could distinguish right from wrong.And let the prince learn how to control the courtiers, how to treat his first wife, and positively affirm the emperor's achievements.

Sometimes, the emperor would also listen to the young lady's lectures, and even though he was modest in the face of the young lady's praise, he was more amiable to the young lady and the prince.

The following year, it was another three-year draft.

This time the emperor took the initiative to cancel the draft.Only the concubines of the palaces are rewarded, and the status of the concubines is promoted.All the six palaces were surprised, and they were even more grateful to the empress.

The ministers have nothing else to say, after all, the emperor has passed his forties.The queen's position is stable, the prince has grown up, there are three healthy princes under the queen's knees, and the other concubines also have four princes.Sending the girl into the palace at this time will not cause trouble, it is undoubtedly a meat bun beating a dog.

As the emperor got older, he also began to show signs of fainting. Fortunately, Miss Weiyu's previous adjustments worked.Although the emperor began to be afraid of the prince who was getting more and more wings, he would be dispelled by the lady's gentle high hat.

The prince was also reminded by the young lady, and occasionally made some minor mistakes, and after being scolded by the emperor, he let it go.
