Family Has a Concubine

The next morning, the courtiers first congratulated Chu Yunpan for his precious son again.

Liao Shoufu said: Now that the empress is pregnant with a dragon son, she should also choose a concubine to fill the harem.

Yes. A group of ministers quickly agreed. They had selected their daughters of the right age at home early on, and they were going to send them to the palace.

Not wanting to, Chu Yunpan said lightly: Everyone loves to chat, but it gives me a reason to choose my concubine.

The courtiers were instantly dumbfounded? If you choose a concubine, you choose a concubine? Still want to bury you? Of course it is to serve the emperor and please the emperor himself! But this kind of words can't be said directly, otherwise it will appear that the emperor is reckless!

Besides, the emperor's attitude, why does it seem like he doesn't want to choose?

Before the courtiers had time to think about it, they began to give brilliant reasons——

Lu Zhi said: Only when the harem is full can its branches and leaves spread.

Chu Yunpan said: But having too many branches and leaves is not all a good thing. When I think of the disaster of my brother's slaying the wall during the Zhengxuan period of the Great Qi, I have lingering fears. I want to focus on cultivating the prince and the descendants. Others, there is no need to exist!

The courtiers trembled, and their faces became ugly instantly. Thinking of King Lu during Emperor Zhengxuan, King Ping who died young, Prince Abandoned, Emperor Jing Ye and King Rong, five brothers with five hearts, it was indeed too ugly!

No, not only during the Zhengxuan period of the Great Qi, but also in all dynasties, in fact, in the big families with many brothers in the family, if there are many brothers, disputes are inevitable.

However, in many cases, it is not that the emperor or the nobles like to have so many children and fight back and forth. They just want to take concubines and satisfy their own desires.

But this kind of words can't be said out of the mouth! They all have to be gentlemen, and they have to hold on!

Someone hurriedly said: It is a good thing to focus on cultivating a prince, but having more children means more blessings...

What do you mean? Chu Yunpan's eyes turned cold, Are you cursing the prince to die?

The courtiers were taken aback: No, no, that's not what I mean! The crown prince will be a blessing to the heavens.

A courtier said anxiously: Choosing a concubine can stabilize the court situation.

Chu Yunpan said: Stable the court? This court needs to be stable? It means that you all have different ideas and restlessness? Therefore, you can only make peace with Princess Xilu, and accept the daughters of the ministers into the palace to stabilize the court. ? Li Shilang, are you the one with disobedience?

The courtiers were so frightened that their faces paled, Chu Yunpan hehehe, and glanced at the courtiers below: Come on, whoever is uneasy, send your daughter to the palace!

The faces of the courtiers were all blue, how could they send their daughters to the harem! Sending people in, isn't it just admitting that you are restless and disobedient?

Chen Miao hurriedly said: What the emperor said is very true, there is really no need to fill the harem.

Zhang Zan hehe: That's right.

Liao Shoufu, Lu Zhi and the others let out a sigh in their hearts, of course you don't need it, because you are relatives!

Chu Yunpan's eyes fell on the courtier who said that choosing a concubine would ensure a stable court. The courtier knelt down with a plop: This humble minister made a slip of the tongue, and the world can learn from my humble minister's loyalty to the emperor.

Li Shilang, your loyalty, I really can't judge. Dali Siqing, you go to Li Shilang's house to learn from him, and see how much Li Shilang is loyal to me.

Li Shilang was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. Every noble family has more or less out-of-the-ordinary things, such as some fabrics, utensils, etc., and there are always some that cannot be used. Or did something bad.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. As a monarch, he will always turn a blind eye.

Now Chu Yunpan actually said that he would investigate thoroughly, and everything could be charged as a crime.

Killing the chicken to police the monkey, the courtiers no longer dared to mention the matter of concubine selection.

After going down to court, Chu Yunpan went to the Tai Chi Hall.

Walking into the door, there was a burst of crisp laughter in the room, and then, I saw a small round figure, running towards him with short legs and open arms: Hahaha, dad!

Chu Yunpan couldn't help but smile on his face, bent down and picked him up, and put him on his shoulders: Little iron egg, what a happy little guy. Let's go, dad will take you to eat steamed corn cake.

Chu Yao sat on Chu Yunpan's shoulder, smiling happily.

Ye Tangcai heard the sound, walked to the door, and looked at them with a smile.

Chu Yunpan walked up to Ye Tangcai, hugged Chu Yao, and stuffed it into Ye Tangcai's arms: Hold.

Why? Ye Tangcai was taken aback, and pulled Chu Yao into his arms.

Before he could react, Chu Yunpan picked her up by the waist and smiled, Because I want to hold Baby Tang.

Ye Tangcai giggled and leaned on his shoulder: Third Master, thank you.

Chu Yunpan was startled, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, Because I want Tang'er and Tiedan to be happy every day.

If he takes concubines, he will have a bunch of bastards. The husband and wife will no longer be just husband and wife; the relationship between father and son will no longer be just father and son. There will be suspicion, precautions...invasion of various interests and disputes.

He didn't want it to be like this between them.

And all he wanted was her.

That Li Shilang's thorough investigation came out soon, and it was found that not only did he use more expensive things, which is nothing, but most importantly, he found that he had taken several commoner women as concubines, and two of them committed suicide after entering the mansion.

Therefore, Chu Yunpan dismissed Li Shilang in the name of forcibly robbing a daughter from a good family.

Because of this, everyone in the capital knew that Chu Yunpan did not choose a concubine, and couldn't help being shocked.

But because of the incident between the Qin family and Chu Miaoshu last time, Chu Yunpan found out many rumormongers. Those courtiers did not dare to talk to others, saying that Ye Tangcai was jealous, but some people said that the emperor and empress were deeply in love, which was passed on as a good story.

Early the next morning, Ye Lingjiao went into the palace to deliver a bunch of supplements to Ye Tangcai.

The two sat in Xici room, on the blanket where Chu Yao was playing, two dolls were playing in the middle, and the aunt and nephew were chatting.

Ye Lingjiao looked at Ye Tangcai's belly with envy: Next year, you will add another fat boy.

Ye Tang let out a snort: He and I both hope to be a girl. You're almost there!

Ye Lingjiao blushed and nodded: I'm working hard.

The two laughed together, Ye Lingjiao whispered: If the emperor doesn't choose a concubine, then he won't choose in the future?

Yes. Ye Tangcai smiled sweetly.

Ye Lingjiao was even more envious, but because of this, her mind became more active.

Zi Xiao. Chu Yunpan's voice sounded outside.

Ye Lingjiao stood up quickly, looked out the window, and saw Chu Yunpan and Chen Zhiheng coming together.

Ye Tangcai and Ye Lingjiao walked to the living room, and when the two walked in, Chen Zhiheng chuckled: I heard that you have entered the palace, so I came here to pick you up and go home together.

Ye Lingjiao walked up to him: Sister Tang keeps food.

Chu Yunpan turned his head: Come back after dinner.

After the four of them had dinner together, Ye Lingjiao and Chen Zhiheng got into the carriage and walked back.

Ye Lingjiao glanced at him: I heard that the former Minister Li was dismissed from office.

Yes! Chen Zhiheng nodded, That's really an idiot.

Ye Lingjiao rolled her eyes, and said with her mouth curled up: Sister Tang said, the emperor does not choose concubines. He will never choose concubines in the future. There is a couple for a lifetime! Oh, how can there be such a good man in the world! And he is the emperor.

Chen Zhiheng continued to nod: The emperor has always been the best! He is the best man I have ever seen.

Ye Lingjiao said: The emperor is a role model for the world, shouldn't you learn from him?

Naturally. Chen Zhiheng quickly agreed.

Then how do you do it? She snorted coquettishly.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's stern face, Chen Zhiheng came to his senses belatedly, and hurriedly leaned over and put his arms around her shoulders: I will do what he does.

Ye Lingjiao pinched his thigh: How?

Ouch... Chen Zhiheng cried out in pain and begged for mercy: No concubine! No!

Ye Lingjiao just laughed, and snorted softly: Idiot, you're still smart!

I've always been interested, come to kiss me. Holding her arms and wanting to kiss again, she smiled: Sister Tang is pregnant again. We can't fall behind, hehe.

Ye Lingjiao pushed him: What if I... give birth to a girl next time?

My daughter also hurts. Chen Zhiheng said anxiously, If it's really not possible, so what if I just recruit a son-in-law.

But mother and father will definitely not agree. Ye Lingjiao frowned lightly.

Sister Tang and Yun Pan are your backers, what do they dare to do to you?

Even if you don't dare to do anything to me, your parents will still be unhappy. Ye Lingjiao was a little worried.

If they are unhappy, then we will see them less. If we still have no son after working hard, then we can move out. Chen Zhiheng said.

Ye Lingjiao leaned on him with a sweet heart: Yeah.

Chen Zhiheng covered her head in the hollow of her shoulder, and smiled: The child is not pregnant yet, look at how worried you are.

The empress and the empress are deeply in love, Wen Shi, Ye Lingjiao and others are very happy, but if some people are happy, others will naturally be unhappy.

The Sun family, Ye Chengxin and his wife, and Ye Licai were about to cry.

Especially Ye Licai!

In the end Chu Yunpan became the emperor!

Originally, she should be the queen! This back seat should be hers! In the end, it was cheaper for Ye Tangcai. I chose thousands of times, and married Zhang Boyuan, a worthless man.

She used to think that if she married Zhang Boyuan, even if Zhang Boyuan would never be able to pass the Juren examination for the rest of her life, and she was only the eldest grandson of a third-rank official, she would feel superior. Now, when Chu Yunpan competed there, Zhang Boyuan instantly became a waste!

The more Ye Licai looked at Zhang Boyuan, the more he disliked her, and she lived in regret every day. Every day, I cursed Ye Tang's bad luck.

So what about being a queen, just wait, in the future, there will be more beautiful concubines competing with her, fighting to the death every day! By the way, if it ends up like that Empress Xiao, that would be great!

Unexpectedly, this day I suddenly heard that the emperor and empress are deeply in love, and Chu Yunpan did not accept the concubine. Ye Li was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

You know, Zhang Boyuan hasn't stayed in her house for several months now.

In the past two years, Zhang Boyuan has taken in five aunts in the backyard, and the children of concubines have jumped out one after another. First came a concubine's second son, then came a concubine's daughter, and now two more aunts are pregnant, walking around with their swollen bellies.

Ye Licai was about to go crazy looking at this nest of disgusting Bala things.

Mrs. Sun couldn't swallow the bad breath, so she ran to Ye Hewen and said, Sister Tang is really favored, even Brother Yun has been made a Duke of the country, but the old man who is his own grandfather doesn't even have a title, let alone Returning to the court to become an official. When I was a prince, when I asked for an official position, they pushed back and forth, saying that it was left by Emperor Jing Ye to the Shangguan family. Now that he has ascended the throne himself, Sister Tang does not help the old lady find a real job.

Ye Hewen has been dissatisfied with Ye Tangcai for a long time, and now he heard Mrs. Sun keep picking on his old face, his face was ashen, and he said coldly: What are you talking about, please discipline Brother Rong when you are so free. You are all sixteen years old. I can't even speak fluently.

Although Ye Hewen was annoyed, he could see clearly that Ye Tangcai had no intention of supporting him. It's impossible for him to make trouble.

But Sun said: I know the old man is sad. But sister Tang is selfish and unreliable. If she married my sister Li, she would have helped the old man to become the chief assistant.

Ye Hewen glared at her: Then what were you grabbing at the beginning? Are you talking about Sister Li now? Do you want Sister Li to reconcile and marry into the palace? Get lost!

The Sun family lost face in an instant, Sister Li reconciled and married into the palace! That's a good idea! But she is sober, even if Zhenheli, Chu Yunpan would not want Ye Licai!

Sun said: I didn't mean that. But it's true that Sister Tang is unreliable! Look at it now, she must be forcing the emperor not to choose a concubine. Now she is young and beautiful, the emperor loves her, so he naturally allows her. Wait again In a few years, I don't know what will happen! Look at Bo Yuan, he loved Sister Li so much before, he even eloped. As a result, he now dotes on that bunch of sluts and puts Sister Li aside. Sister Piantang won't come, so if you don't take advantage of the emperor's enthusiasm for her, send a few more people over.

You're talking a lot, what exactly do you want to say? Ye Hewen couldn't listen anymore.

Sun said: Anyway, the Queen's position is very important. It can't be lost, and it can't be lost. Sister Li can't do it. Don't we have Sister Wei? The old lady hurriedly arranged for Sister Wei to enter the palace. Shi sisters serve a husband together, so it's good to help!

Aren't they sisters? Now stuff it in and go on with the sisterhood! By then, Ye Tangcai would definitely be disgusted to death. Sun felt excited just thinking about it.

When Ye Hewen heard it, it made sense!

Where did the guts come from? It's plotted against the emperor. A cold shout sounded, but Miao Shi walked in with a sullen face.

Ye Hewen was annoyed: What did I do?

It's not that you haven't done anything, it's that you haven't started to do anything yet, but your mind is active. Miao walked in, walked up to Sun, raised her hand and slapped Sun on the face In the past, You troublemaker!

Ouch... Mrs. Sun was almost thrown to the ground by the fan.

Miao family! Ye Hewen frowned deeply, Alright, why beat someone?

She's messing around. If I don't hit her, who will I hit? You? Miao sneered.

You— Ye Hewen was very annoyed. He didn't feel sorry for Mrs. Sun, but felt that Mrs. Miao didn't show him face and hit someone in his face. It's the other way around, who is the head of the family?

You! Miao sneered, Come on, take good care of this house! Today I will move to the Rong'an Hou Mansion to let Brother Yun take care of him.
