The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Meng Wenyao looked at the corpse at her feet and said coldly: "Hang it at the city gate and expose it to the sun for nine days."

Someone wants to ask what should the imperial concubine do? Seeing this scene, I didn't dare to ask any more questions. Everything started so unexpectedly and ended so absurdly.

When the people in the capital knew about it, the palace had already issued several edicts from the eldest princess.

"The emperor passed away, and it was passed down to the eldest prince Meng Chenye."

"The queen poisoned the emperor and exposed his body for nine days. The ancestral graves of the Ning family were dug up and all the "people" were whipped to death."

When everything calmed down, people discovered that the imperial guards in the palace had quietly changed people. Meng Wenyao was completely in control of the palace and the court.

She is no longer a princess hiding behind the scenes, but the eldest princess of the country standing in the court.

When he went to court for the first time, Meng Wenyao stood in the Taiji Hall and looked at the courtiers. These were not just a few people, they were the parents and officials of the people in the world, and they were the guardians of the majestic country.

She suddenly doubted whether she could suppress them, and she saw the tall and tall Ye Lianyi looking at her devoutly below. He was standing in the court like a mountain with a long sword, and Meng Wenyao was inexplicably looking at her. Peace of mind.

After going to court, Meng Wenyao was walking in the long corridor of the palace. She turned her head and looked at Ye Lianyi behind her. She slowed down a little. Ye Lianyi strode forward and asked, "Princess?"

Meng Wenyao looked forward. No matter how long the corridor was, it would have an end, but walking on this narrow and slender corridor was too boring.

"Ye Lianyi, my parents and brother have passed away. No one will stand in front of me in the future."

A gentle sigh was like a feather blowing, and a touch of sadness fell on Ye Lianyi's heart. He stretched out his hand to hold Meng Wenyao's slightly cold hand, and murmured like an oath: "I will always stand behind the princess and protect her forever." worry."

Meng Wenyao turned around and looked at Ye Lianyi: "Then you have to stand firm, I don't want to fall."

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

The two walked through the long corridor and turned a corner to the imperial study room. Meng Wenyao started a new day of reviewing memorials.

They were all things he was used to doing on a daily basis, and Meng Wenyao handled them very quickly. The most important thing now was Meng Chenye's training, as he would have the heaviest burden in the future.

Several new tutors were selected from the Hanlin Academy to give Meng Chenye private lessons and teach him the ways of the emperor.

As for the second and third princes, they can just learn some ways of cultivating their bodies and minds together. Both of them are not in good health. Meng Wenyao just wants them to grow up well and produce heirs for Meng Mingxuan in the future.

The throne has been decided, and the biological mother of the second and third princes is also very honest and takes care of her two children in the harem.

Meng Chenye's nominal biological mother, on the other hand, began to visit Meng Chenye frequently in the study. Since Meng Chenye lived outside the palace all year round, he and Qiu Wan were not familiar with each other. He felt quite embarrassed to get along with each other these days.

On this day, Xiao Chen wondered: "Auntie, Princess Qiu visits her nephew every day, and she always says that she gave birth to me in ten months of pregnancy. She asked me to know how to repay her kindness, and she also asked my nephew to show the majesty of being an emperor. , I asked my two brothers to bow down every time they see my nephew. The two brothers are in poor health, and my nephew really can't bear it."

Meng Wenyao paused while reviewing the memorial, raised her head and said with a smile, "Did she tell you how to repay her?"

The child was too young and didn't know how to express it euphemistically, so he said it a little bluntly: "Concubine Qiu said that the emperor's biological mother should be named the Queen Mother. She is only a concubine now, which will make the courtiers think that I am unfilial."

Meng Wenyao's smile grew colder. She thought Qiu Wan had been peaceful and contented all these years, but she didn't expect that she would jump up and down whenever she had the chance.

"What do you think? Should it be sealed?"

Xiao Chenye scratched his head and didn't know how to answer. He said: "The second brother and the third brother are both in poor health. Our mothers and concubines are both concubines. They can live more comfortably in the harem. If Concubine Qiu becomes a If you become the Queen Mother, you will inevitably insult the two concubines.

The two younger brothers were already in poor health. If they were wronged, the nephew would feel really uncomfortable. Secretly, the nephew does not want Princess Qiu to occupy a high position. If her virtue is not worthy of the position, she will suffer disaster. However, due to filial piety, the nephew does not know how to refuse. "

Meng Wenyao looked at Meng Chenye for a while. The child looked more and more like Ye Lianyi as he grew older. He sighed and said, "My child, you were not born to Qiu Wan."

Facing Xiao Chenye's surprised look, Meng Wenyao told Xiao Chenye in detail that she was pregnant and didn't want to get married, so Qiu Wan happened to be pregnant, so she used her name.

"I am the son of the Marquis of the Northwest? Then how can I be the emperor?"

Hearing this, Meng Wenyao laughed loudly: "You are my son. I have the blood of Taizu, and so do you. So if I think you can be the emperor, you can. If you are guilty, then wait for me When the three of you grow up, you decide who is suitable and give it to you."

The child didn't quite understand what the emperor meant, so he said innocently: "Well, my son will learn how to govern the country in the future. If my brothers are determined to inherit the throne in the future, my son will help them wholeheartedly."

"Okay, but you have to keep this secret until they reach adulthood, so as not to spread it and cause chaos in the country."

"it is good."

After that, Qiuwan went to the study again, but was kicked out by Meng Chenye. She ran to the imperial study crying and complained that the emperor was unfilial.

Meng Wenyao looked at her coldly: "If I hear anything unfilial from you again, you should go to the imperial mausoleum to accompany the late emperor."

The crying sound stopped suddenly, and the harem became quiet from then on.

After that, Meng Wenyao gave birth to another set of twins. Ye Lianyi was afraid that Meng Wenyao's body wouldn't be able to bear it, so he refused to let Meng Wenyao get pregnant again. The two of them even had a minor quarrel over this, but that's all for later. .

In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up, and Meng Chenye has slowly taken over the review of the memorial.

On this day, Meng Wenyao joked: "Boy, do you still remember that when you were a child, you said you wanted to give up the throne. Which of your second and third brothers is more suitable?"

Meng Chenye's face suddenly turned red and he said awkwardly: "When the emperor has to get up early every day, there are endless memorials to approve, and he has to worry about big and small things. The second and third brothers are not in good health, so we should let them enjoy themselves. Live."

Meng Wenyao smiled noncommittally. She knew that no one would give up the power she had obtained.

However, in order to reduce his guilt, Meng Chenye was very generous to his two younger brothers.

He issued an imperial edict, and his two younger brothers were granted the title of Iron-hatted Prince, which was hereditary. The eldest son of the younger brother inherited the title of prince, the second son was granted the title of County Prince, and the third son was granted the title of Duke...

Almost every son has a title, and this has never been done in any dynasty or generation. It is the heir apparent who inherits the title, and the other sons just share in the family business.

The emperor loved his two younger brothers so much. People in the scholar circles kept praising the deep brotherhood in the royal family. The emperor was a role model for a human being. No one even remembered that the emperor had a biological mother, and no one had ever given her the title of Queen Mother in so many years.

The two princes will have so many titles to inherit in the future. Since they got married, they have done nothing but worked hard to have a son. Their wives and concubines are also very harmonious. After all, everyone has titles and there is nothing to fight over the family property. .

Although the two princes were in poor health, each of them gave birth to four or five sons. Meng Wenyao looked at the string of grandchildren and happily took them to offer incense to Meng Mingxuan.
