Ajiu

Chapter 221 Worth It
Xiao Ten, no matter how hard you worked back then, it was worth it.If you don't work hard, how can you marry Ajiu? If you don't marry Ajiu, how can I have such a talented and intelligent grandson as Xiao Zhengzheng? Good grandson, good granddaughter?

Elder Pei Ge complained euphemistically, "Your Majesty, the crown prince just got a pair of twins last night, and he went back to the early court this morning, and he handled the government affairs without complaint. You have the crown prince to do it for you, and you have a lot of leisure. You are incomparable, you are still a minister, and you must do everything yourself."

If you don't abdicate, I will not be allowed to resign as Minister of the Household Department and Bachelor of Dongge University.But you are actually much more free, you ignore all the daily government affairs, I can't do it, I have to take care of everything, do my best, and die.

The fat emperor was very generous, "Pei Qing, you can choose one of the left and right servants who is willing to work hard, and slowly hand over the household department to him."

Pei Kai is getting old, and it's time to beg for bones and go home for the elderly.No, no, it's not going home to take care of the elderly, it's going to the East Palace to look after the children.

The emperor smiled and was in a happy mood.

Pei Ge was busy thanking you, "Your Majesty is really sympathetic to the veteran."

Xiao Pingping is the most lively, with a very sweet mouth. He leaned against Mr. Pei Ge, giggling, "Great-grandfather, if you are free in the future, teach us to read with your grandfather, okay? I like you so much." .”

Mr. Pei Ge agreed repeatedly, "Yes, yes. His Royal Highness Lu Wang, great-grandfather also likes you, and would like to teach you how to read."

The fat emperor was a little puzzled, "Pei Qing, I always thought you were obsessed with business, but I didn't know you liked teaching children to read."

When did Pei Kai have this hobby?Only then did I realize.

Elder Pei Ge looked fondly at the little baby girl in his arms, "Before I met little Axie, I was really obsessed with business. After seeing her, my ambitions disappeared, and I just wanted to spoil my grandchildren."

The two children were swaddled differently yesterday, but today they are both eye-catching and beautiful sky blue.The appearance of such a small child is not much different. When the emperor came in, Mr. Pei first handed the child in his arms to him, and he happily caught it.It wasn't until Mr. Pei Ge finished saying this that he realized that he was hugging Ah Shen, and Mr. Pei Ge was hugging Axie.

What he was holding was a child, and Mr. Pei Ge was also holding a child.However, the "one" he hugged was one of the five; and the one Pei Ge always hugged was really one.

The fat emperor was upset, "Pei Qing, let's change."

Old Pei Ge reluctantly said, "Your Majesty, you can see little Axie whenever you want. I want to see her once, but it is difficult."

"That's right." Mr. Pei agreed without fear of death.

The fat emperor glanced at him slowly, and then he remembered that when he just entered the hall, wasn't he the one who handed over little Ah Shen first?Yes, dare to fool me.

The fat emperor called Mr. Pei, "Sanlang, where do you work now?"

Third Master Pei smiled freely, "Your Majesty, I am serving as a lecturer in the Imperial Academy."

"Do you want to go up?" the emperor asked slowly.

"I don't want to." Third Master Pei was very honest, "I don't want to be promoted, but I want to apply to take care of little Axie in the East Palace."

Dare to feel that Pei's family is all like this, the emperor is convinced.

"It's done." The emperor ordered Lin Youhui and other female relatives to retreat, and ordered the palace man Fu Mu to take Xiao Zhengzheng and his four children out to play. The man in the house must be a servant. Sanlang, if you insist on coming, I will fulfill you."

Mr. Pei was taken aback, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover an important part.

The crowd burst into laughter.

The emperor was in a better mood.

He specially called Princess Antai over, and rewarded her with a dazzling, white and lustrous jade carving, "Antai, it's very effective, take it back quickly."

This jade carving is a cute little baby girl, her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to An Tai's, but she has a sweet smile on her lips.

Princess Antai gently stroked the jade carving, loving it, "Uncle, it's as big as a real baby, it's really rare."

The emperor proudly told her, "Ever since your cousin was pregnant, my uncle thought of you, little Antai. All other families wanted boys, but the Pei family wanted a girl, so my uncle ordered someone to carve this. Antai, hurry up and take her back, add a little girl, and you can walk sideways in Pei's house from now on."

Princess Antai thanked her earnestly, "Uncle, I am so happy that you rewarded me with this. I would like to have a little girl in my dreams, thank you. But even if I have a little girl, I will not be in Pei's house." will walk sideways."

"Then you keep walking straight, keep walking straight." The emperor said with a good-tempered smile.

Princess Antai solemnly agreed, "Yes, uncle."

Ajiu gasped when she knew that the emperor rewarded Princess Antai with a jade carving.Seventh sister-in-law, seventh sister-in-law, I really don't like you, I really don't, but if you are the only one among the eight sisters-in-law who gave birth to a little girl, you won't raise our Pei family's attention-grabbing baby... A pretty little face palsy, right?

Like Seventh Sister-in-Law, of course you have a lot of character.But if there is only one little girl in the family, she should be very lively and have a sweet smile, so that everyone will be drunk when they see her.

The worrying Ajiu explained to the Crown Prince in detail that night, "I'm in confinement, and I can't see Brother Seven. Brother Ten, if you are free tomorrow or the next day, ask Brother Seven to explain. If Sister-in-law Seven is pregnant, Tell him to accompany Seventh Sister-in-Law often, to laugh, to laugh more, and never to keep a straight face. Never, ever!" An Tai is already like that, if Seventh Brother keeps a straight face, the little darling will be paralyzed?Not good, not good.

The Crown Prince nodded, "Success, I will definitely tell Brother Seven exactly what my junior sister said."

When the crown prince relayed it to Pei Jing, not only the original words were passed on, but he also added a sentence on his own initiative, "Brother Qi, if An Tai is pregnant, tell her a joke and make her smile more, okay? "Pei Jing thought it made sense, "Yes, that's how it is done!"

After worrying about her mother's affairs, Ajiuan sat down on confinement with peace of mind.Although she is young and in good health, she has already given birth to six children, so she needs to take good care of them.

When Ah Shen and Ah Xie were full moon, the emperor named Ah Ruo King Mu, Ah Yi the King Xu, Ah Shen the King Huai, and Ah Xie the Princess Jiaxing.The East Palace gave banquets to the officials and wives inside and outside, which was very grand.

According to the ritual system, the son of the prince should be named the king of the county, and the daughter of the prince should be named the princess.However, since the emperor issued this special decree, no uninformed official in the court stood up to express opposition.The prince will be the emperor sooner or later, and his sons and daughters will get this title sooner or later, and they will be directly named prince and princess, which will save trouble in the future and do not need to be re-canonized.

The crown prince's son is crowned prince, and his daughter is crowned princess. This is arrogance, but this decree comes from the mouth of the emperor.The emperor doesn't care about treating the prince and his children well anymore, so why bother being a courtier.

In the Manchu Dynasty, if anyone had an opinion, it would probably be Princess Ningshou, Princess Fushou, Princess Xingshou and others.Princess Xingshou is very witty, knowing that her mother and concubine don't have much love, and she is only mediocre in front of her father, after the little dissatisfaction in her heart, she put it behind her.Princess Ningshou and Princess Fushou were very angry. Xiaoshi's daughter who was born less than two months ago won the title of princess. As an aunt and niece, she is not at all dignified.

"So biased." They secretly blamed the emperor.

"She is too fertile." Princess Fushou complained to Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang hesitated for a moment, "The doctor said, the Crown Princess is afraid that... she won't be able to give birth in the future."

It's normal to say that I have given birth to four children, and two of them were twins, so the body was damaged, and there were also difficulties in having children in the future.

Princess Fushou's eyes lit up, "Can't you give birth?"

She grabbed Empress Zhang excitedly, "The crown princess can't have a baby, what's the matter? Mother, hurry up and choose a second concubine for Xiao Shi, and choose a few more famous girls!"

Xiao Shi is young and handsome, and also the crown prince. I don't know how many beautiful girls dream of marrying him and winning his favor.

Princess Fushou quickly calculated in her mind, which of the families who usually get close to her has a beautiful and lovely girl, which can be given to Xiao Shi.

Now Ajiu is loved and has children, and she is very proud.But in the future, who knows?One day when she gets old, her looks fade, and Xiao Shi no longer likes her, everything will be different.In this harem, the most unpredictable.How many women who were once princesses, queens, and invincible women fell into the dust in the end?
There is only one princess in the East Palace, which is outrageous.Now that the Crown Princess can't give birth, it's reasonable, and no matter what, it can't stop the newcomers from entering the East Palace.

"Choose a second concubine for Xiao Shi, a concubine!" Princess Fushou smiled.

Empress Zhang frowned in annoyance, "Fushou, please be quiet first. Originally, I should be in charge of the harem, and so should the East Palace. The East Palace's internal affairs, the crown prince and concubine need to consult me. But the situation is different now. Your father, the emperor, he I'm not allowed to control anything."

Empress Zhang and Princess Fushou thought differently.Empress Zhang's only hope is to be the queen mother. As for whether there are newcomers in the East Palace, it is dispensable to her.Princess Fushou finds Ajiu very distasteful, wishing to see Ajiu sad and haggard all at once.

"I won't act rashly, but I will discuss it carefully with your father and Xiao Shi." Queen Zhang pondered.

Princess Fushou pouted.What is there to discuss? She can't have a baby, so how dare she not let the newcomer enter the East Palace?No matter how jealous and ignorant of the general situation, it can't be like this.

"I'll be waiting for your good news." Princess Fushou said with a smile, and left.

After thinking about it, Empress Zhang picked a time when the emperor was in a good mood, and asked softly, "... In such a situation, should we add new people to the East Palace?" The emperor didn't care, "It depends on what Xiao Shi means. Add or not Tim, it doesn't matter."

Your Majesty has no objection!Empress Zhang was refreshed.

Because the emperor has been particularly fond of Ajiu for a long time, Queen Zhang was anxious before speaking, lest the emperor would turn his face on the spot.Therefore, although Empress Zhang proposed this, she was cautious, her words were soft, and her attitude was very humble.At this moment, when the emperor said, "It doesn't matter whether it is added or not", Queen Zhang was happy at first, and then felt like crying.

Your Majesty, I'm so surprised that you didn't scold or reprimand me directly.

Do you sometimes not favor Ajiu?
