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

The matter of making salt was almost certain. The emperor was very happy and immediately said: "Mrs. Mingzhao accepts the title!"

Yan Qingqing knelt down quickly after hearing this, and it would be false to say she wasn't excited.

The emperor said loudly: "Mrs. Ming Zhao has contributed greatly to the method of refining fine salt. From now on, she will be promoted to a first-class lady. The title will still be Ming Zhao. She has the right not to kneel when she sees the emperor. Ming Zhao means wise and intelligent. Mrs. Mingzhao is worthy of this title."

Yan Qingqing quickly thanked her after hearing this. With the emperor's words and this kind of proclamation, she would basically be able to walk around the capital in the future.

As if that was not enough, the emperor said again: "I heard that Mrs. Mingzhao has a son who is extremely intelligent and was admitted as a scholar when he was less than ten years old.

And he has a good relationship with King Chen. How about letting him be King Chen's companion in the future? "

The word "the emperor's future" is very profound, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to answer.

But Yan Qingqing was not an ordinary person. She smiled and replied: "My wife has four sons. In my heart, every son is excellent."

The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this. Mrs. Mingzhao was not modest at all in this regard.

He really wanted to hear how outstanding these sons of Mrs. Mingzhao were, so he asked: "Mrs. Mingzhao, please tell me how outstanding these sons of yours are."

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "My eldest brother specializes in farming. He works hard to cultivate more high-yielding crops and spends time in the farmland every day.

At twenty years old, she looks older than my wife, but I never complain.

The second child runs the family business and has never enriched himself, and he has never complained about his business career while his brothers are in politics.

The third child works at the border to protect his family and the country, licking blood with his sword head, just to prevent the Beiliang people from invading our Dayan, so that everyone can have a stable life.

The fourth child studied hard day and night, forcing himself to become a talent as soon as possible, hoping to stand alone as soon as possible.

Therefore, in the heart of my wife, no matter which son she is, is excellent. "

Yan Qingqing is not stupid. The emperor handed the opportunity to her, so she couldn't seize the opportunity to win favor for her sons.

The emperor knew more or less about Yan Qingqing's sons. After all, Li Xiangan and Li Xiangjian were also his courtiers. Although they were of lower rank, they were all obtained through their own merit.

The emperor thought again that Xiao Mochen was so dependent on Yan Qingqing, so Xiao Mochen must also be the best child in her heart.

But he stopped asking. If Yan Qingqing said anything that touched Xiao Mochen again, his son would be pushed further and further away.

In Xihuayuan, Concubine Yu kept people staring at Yan Qingqing.

She had been holding on to hope in her heart, praying that the fine salt refined by Yan Qingqing would never succeed.

She didn't want to take the last step unless she had to, because once she left, she couldn't go back.

But in the end, Concubine Yu waited for the news that Yan Qingqing had been granted a first-grade imperial title by Jin.

Her face looked extremely ugly, and then she drove out all the palace people except the personal eldest maid Zi'er.

Zi'er looked at Concubine Yu's face and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to contact me there?"

Concubine Yu endured it for a long time before she said, "Send him a letter first and ask him to check out what's going on at the border.

Fortunately, the emperor only granted that bitch a title, but had no plans to establish a prince.

You go to the eldest prince's palace again and let him stabilize himself. Don't make any mistakes during this period, otherwise he will give up the position of prince to Xiao Mochen. "

Although the emperor has not yet said that he will establish a prince, Concubine Yu has already sensed the crisis.

Zi'er heard the words and quickly agreed. In her opinion, the eldest prince was indeed emotionally unstable. He lacks some qualities of a king.

The key is that he is not favored by the emperor. Even she, a young palace maid, can feel that the emperor has never thought of making the eldest prince the heir apparent.

It's a pity that her master is Concubine Yu, so she never has the choice.

If the master is good, they will be fine if they don't see each other, but if the master is not good, then they can't be fine at all.

Yan Qingqing also explained in detail some of the things that need to be paid attention to when refining fine salt to these officials who were studying.

They all took small notebooks and wrote them down carefully one by one.

Yan Qingqing asked them to do a few more experiments on a small scale when they had nothing to do. If they didn't understand anything, they could go to Mingzhao Mansion and ask her at any time.

After hearing this, these officials were naturally extremely grateful to Yan Qingqing.

Mrs. Mingzhao has always had a reputation for being evil. They never expected that she would be such an easy person to get along with, and everyone gathered around Yan Qingqing to compliment her.

Yan Qingqing saw that there was nothing going on in the palace without him and it was getting dark, so he proposed to leave the palace.

Naturally, the emperor waved his hand and rewarded many things.

Because the emperor wanted to discuss some matters with Xiao Mochen, he asked Eunuch Xiang to escort Yan Qingqing out of the palace in person.

As soon as Yan Qingqing arrived at the palace gate, she ran into Ling Ziyuan, whom she hadn't seen for many days.

Yan Qingqing was shocked when she saw the person. In the past, Ling Ziyuan always looked glamorous whether in Chengyang County or in the capital. Even his hair was combed meticulously, for fear that it would affect his image of a handsome young man.

Why do you look so unkempt and unshaven today? When you get closer, you smell of alcohol.

Yan Qingqing frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why haven't you been so unkempt for a few days?"

Ling Ziyuan snorted coldly and said, "You are indeed a superficial woman. How can you judge a book by its appearance?"

Yan Qingqing admitted that anyone would like to take a second look at a good-looking person, but she was really not from the Appearance Association.

Yan Qingqing sighed helplessly and said: "How superficial can I be? If you don't even smell it, your body will be rotten."

Ling Ziyuan's face froze when he heard this, and then he sniffed hard, and there was indeed a smell.

He suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Okay, don't find fault with me if you have nothing to do.

I heard that you have been promoted again. I am here to congratulate you.

By the way, my father gave me a marriage proposal. He said that the woman was virtuous and virtuous, and she didn't mind my age, so he asked me to choose a date to get married. "

After saying that, he left without waiting for Yan Qingqing's reaction.

Yan Qingqing was a little baffled. When he gets married, he gets married. Is he still afraid that she won't give him a gift?

However, Yan Qingqing saw that Ling Ziyuan was swaying as he walked, and was afraid that something would happen to him, so he quickly asked Ada to follow him.

Then he recruited a secret guard to drive a carriage back to Mingzhao Mansion.

Ling Ziyuan staggered for a while, and felt bitter when he saw Yan Qingqing driving away in a carriage without hesitation.

Just when he was unsteady and about to fall over, someone suddenly helped him.

Ling Ziyuan looked back at the little housekeeper who was always beside Yan Qingqing.

I thought to myself that Yan Qingqing still cares about him.

But what Ling Ziyuan said was sour: "Aren't you the little housekeeper next to your wife?

I heard that she thinks highly of you and treats you as half a son.

I really envy you sometimes. "

Ada was a little confused when he heard this. Why did Master Ling envy him? Suddenly a light flashed in his head and he was shocked: "Master Ling, don't you also want to be our wife's son?

That's not possible, I haven't queued up yet. Besides, you are too old. How could our wife give birth to a son as old as you when she is so young..."

Ling Ziyuan:......
