After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Since Yan Qingqing presented the method of refining fine salt, the emperor began to have people build a site and prepare for Yan Qingqing to demonstrate it to them.

In fact, the emperor still had great confidence in Yan Qingqing. After all, all the major events Yan Qingqing had done since he was granted the title were shocking enough.

Yan Qingqing is not in a hurry, she just waits.

However, Xiao Moyan was anxious to get ahead.

Not only did he fail to be crowned a prince, but he also allowed Xiao Mochen to show his face in front of the emperor, giving Yan Qingqing a big advantage.

Once Yan Qingqing's method of making salt is successful, the salt tax and salt officials will be out of his control.

Therefore, Xiao Moyan had a gloomy face all day long and treated the people in the house even more cruelly.

Especially Xiao Moyan's concubines suffered even more. Xiao Moyan vented his anger on them. For several days, some of them were wrapped in straw mats and quietly carried to the mass grave.

Suddenly, the women in Xiao Moyan's backyard were in danger. Finally, I went to the eldest prince’s concubine.

The eldest prince's concubine is the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. She has been dignified and prudent since she was a child. Because her father is a high official in the imperial court, the eldest prince has some respect for her, but he also thinks that she is too boring and he never spends the night with her.

In the end, the eldest princess told Concubine Yu about this.

After Concubine Yu learned of this situation, she called Xiao Moyan to Xihua Garden.

Seeing Xiao Moyan drunkenly and unable to open his eyes, Concubine Yu suddenly became furious and slapped Xiao Moyan with her backhand.

He opened his mouth and scolded angrily: "Look at what you have become now. No wonder your father refuses to make you king. You don't look like a prince at all!"

This slap made Xiao Moyan wake up a lot, but then he slumped down on the stool and said: "Yes, I am a useless person.

My father, the emperor, my mother and my concubines all look down on me, so I'll give up the position of prince to Xiao Mochen. "

Concubine Yu snorted coldly and said: "Look at your worthless appearance. Just such a trivial matter has knocked you down. How can you be an emperor and manage such a large court in the future?"

Xiao Moyan's eyes suddenly brightened up when he heard that he was the emperor, and then his eyes dimmed and he said: "With Xiao Mochen here, how can the father's eyes be filled with his sons and ministers?

Since he returned to the palace, he has become even more popular with his father.

His grandfather guarded the southern border with an army of 300,000 men.

The 300,000-strong army in the north also appreciated his kindness in escorting grain and fodder, and the imperial guards in the palace were his uncles.

Now some old diehards in the court are beginning to support him.

What I have in hand is nothing more than a capital garrison and a Yu family.

Once that old woman Yan Qingqing succeeds in making salt, the salt officials will become a bunch of trash, unable to even deduct the salt tax.

I have no money, no power, no soldiers, how can I compete with Xiao Mochen! "

After hearing this, Concubine Yu sneered and said, "These forces are enough.

Although the Forbidden Army is the emperor's personal guard, there are only so many people there.

There are fully fifty thousand people in the capital garrison.

The power of the Great Yan Dynasty is not enough, we can also rely on the people of Beiliang.

Let’s talk about the Forbidden Army. Pei Zisheng has only been in charge of it for a long time, so how can it be possible that they are all his people. "

When Xiao Moyan heard this, he looked at Concubine Yu with bright eyes and asked: "Concubine, can you have a relationship with Beiliang? Are there any of your people in the Forbidden Army?

I have long told you, concubine, that you have a trump card. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If so, why should I be afraid of Xiao Mochen? "

After saying this, Xiao Moyan laughed twice.

Concubine Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Concubine Mother only has these trump cards. If I had given them to you early in the morning, wouldn't it have made you even more complacent?

Let me tell you, go back and be honest with me. If you dare to cause trouble again, the mother and concubine in the house will definitely want you to look good. "

Xiao Moyan naturally agreed and promised not to cause trouble again, but at the same time he also begged Concubine Yu to move faster because he couldn't stand it anymore.

Concubine Yu also agreed, because she couldn't stand the cowardice anymore.

After being with the emperor for so many years and raising an adult prince, I didn’t expect that in the end, she would just become a concubine.

She, Yu Jin'er, has always been arrogant and arrogant. She has been submissive and petty for so many years, and she has to pretend to be domineering and brainless. It's enough.

But this matter can't be rushed, she has to plan it carefully. After all, if you are not careful in this matter, it will be irreversible.

As for Yan Qingqing, Ding Xiu also successfully entered the Imperial College under his recommendation.

Little Fatty Ding is a cheerful person who can adapt well wherever he goes.

Especially Li Xiangkang.

Everyone knew that they were from Mrs. Mingzhao's family, and no one in the Imperial College dared to look down upon them.

When Ding saw that his son was adapting well, he felt relieved.

A few days later, he said goodbye to Yan Qingqing. Yan Qingqing knew that his family property was all in Chengyang County, but he didn't want to keep him. He just asked him to wait two more days to go back with Li Xiangping, and they had a companion on the way.

Li Xiangping is an agricultural officer in Chengyang County. It is not easy for him to be out for so many days. No matter how tolerant Mr. Gao is, he cannot leave his post for a long time.

Besides, now that the village has been opened, it is a good time to engage in scientific research. He has not yet understood the grafting and hybridization techniques, so he must go back.

Yan Qingqing knew that this was Li Xiangping's responsibility, so he asked Yuan Huiniang to pack his things.

Yuan Huiniang has not been separated from Li Xiangping since they got married, so she feels somewhat reluctant to let go.

But there were more things in the capital. Her mother-in-law asked her to help manage the Mingzhao Mansion, and she also had to take care of her eldest sister's baby, which she couldn't do without.

Yan Qingqing knew what Yuan Huiniang was thinking when she saw her expression. So she said: "Hui Niang, if you really don't want to leave the boss, go back with him.

Mu Xi, I, and Yueniang can also take care of us here. "

Yuan Huiniang quickly explained: "Mom, I haven't. I just haven't been separated from my husband. I'm afraid he won't be used to being at home alone."

Hearing this, Li Xiangping smiled and said: "Hui Niang, don't worry, I will take good care of myself.

Besides, there are so many servants at home.

You can still help your mother in the capital. You need to worry more about your eldest sister's pregnancy and your second sister's marriage.

You can see more and make some sisters in the capital, and then you can show off to the villagers when you return to Canghe Town. "

Yuan Huiniang said with a half-smile after hearing Li Xiangping's words: "I didn't say I wanted to go back to Canghe Town with you, why are you so nervous?

I wonder if working more in the capital can help reduce my mother's burden.

Or should I say that when you go back, you can be as carefree as you like at home and no one will care about you anymore. "

Li Xiangping heard this and quickly explained in a low voice: "Hui Niang, don't talk nonsense, I didn't mean it."

When Yan Qingqing saw that the young couple was still arguing, she quickly stopped her and said, "Okay, you two, stop bickering. I believe we can all go home in a short time."

When Li Xiangping wants to go back, safety must come first.

Yan Qingqing sent him twenty secret guards.

Two days later, Li Xiangping and Ding Yuanwai set off back to Canghe Town. Xiao Mochen came to see them off in person after learning about it.
