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

After speaking, the eunuch walked up to Meng Shilang, who had not yet recovered, and saluted: "Congratulations, Meng Shilang, the queen is in good health now, you don't have to worry."

The ministers could not catch up with the eunuch who fled the scene, and began to congratulate Minister Meng: "Master Meng is so lucky!"

"There are constant disputes in the harem. Now the emperor has re-established the queen and everything has been renewed. The empress is indispensable."

The ministers were not in the mood to deal with business, and congratulated Minister Meng one after another. Minister Meng felt that the past year had been like a dream.

He is just an ordinary member of the Hanlin Academy. He is a noble man and does not flatter his superiors and subordinates. He has not yet been promoted in his middle age.

Unexpectedly, I went on a business trip to another place, and when I came back, my eldest daughter turned out to be the palace concubine. Before I could figure out what was going on, things happened one after another in the palace. Fortunately, none of them involved Meng Wenyao, so Meng Shilang was able to sleep. Sleep peacefully.

Now, in the blink of an eye, the eldest daughter has become the queen. It is really a joy to congratulate him. Meng Shilang suppressed himself from laughing loudly.

Mr. Wei, who is a minister in the same palace, did not expect that his son's childhood sweetheart would become the queen. He hesitated whether to go forward and say congratulations, but he heard endless discussions around him.

"Why did the emperor suddenly grant the title of queen?"

"Didn't you hear? Our queen has been pregnant all this time. Looking at it like this, she probably wants the prince to be a legitimate child when he is born, so she is praising the prince's mother."

Several ministers were talking quietly on the periphery, and occasionally I could hear someone's envious and jealous tone: "It's true that the mother is more valuable than the son. I don't know if the emperor will have a talent show in the future. The emperor is only in his early thirties this year."

"Why should I choose? There are a lot of imperial tombs. Couldn't the emperor just select them and send them to the imperial tomb?"

Listening to the discussions around him, Mr. Wei walked with difficulty towards the center where Meng Shilang was. As soon as he squeezed to the edge, he saw the eunuch who had just announced the decree running over sweating profusely.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

Everyone in the grand hall knelt down, and the eunuch took a breath and began to declare: "By the fate of heaven, the emperor decrees that the legitimate prince Li Chengxi is the legitimate heir of the clan, and he belongs to the will of heaven. I sincerely inform heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country, to grant With the treasures in the book, he was established as the crown prince, and he was enthroned in the East Palace, with the authority of tens of thousands of years, and the heart of spreading all over the world."

After the imperial edict was announced, before the important ministers could react, the eunuch had already walked to the side of Meng Shilang: "Mr. Meng, the queen has given birth to a child, and the emperor has given you permission to go and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing Meng Shilang being led away by the eunuchs, Mr. Wei felt annoyed. He should have pushed forward harder just now, but now that he hesitates, there will be fewer opportunities to curry favor with Meng Shilang in the future.

Now that even Meng Shilang was no longer here, the buzz around him suddenly broke out.

"The emperor has not established a prince for many years after taking the throne. Why did he rush to seal the crown prince's position as soon as he was born? Is there anyone else who can't grab it?"

"Keep your voice down." A minister reminded: "Don't forget that there are several princes in the imperial mausoleum. According to his age, this one in the palace is really not qualified to be a prince. Who asked the emperor to make the queen first? He is the legitimate son when he is born, so why would he be granted the title of crown prince if not the crown prince?"

The blocked face froze, and the minister who had spoken before said sarcastically: "Didn't we also have a queen and a direct prince before? That one was in her late teens and not even a prince. Now this one is the third prince. It must have been too fast to get the position.”

"Hmph, it is said that the mother is more valuable than the son, but I think the son is more valuable than the mother. There is a big difference between a favored prince and an unfavored prince."

Listening to the discussion behind him, Mr. Wei was not in the mood to go to the office. He walked home feeling lonely and saw his wife crying.

"what happened?"

When Mrs. Wei saw her husband coming back, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Nothing happened. It's just that Zian was suddenly transferred to the Pedestrian Department. Someone came over this morning to announce that he should go to the East China Sea to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. I was just worried about the long journey. He It’s hard work on the road, but it’s no big deal.”

This transfer order was so sudden. Mr. Wei thought of the emperor's love for Meng Wenyao and the childhood sweethearts of Meng Wenyao and Wei Zian, and was suddenly shocked. Could it be that the emperor knew something.

"Madam, don't cry yet, our family has something important to do." Mr. Wei held Mrs. Wei's hand tightly and explained in a trembling voice.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Wei saw that her husband's face was not good, and she began to panic for no reason.

"Get a wife for Zian."

Mrs. Wei took out a breath and complained: "I was scared to death. I thought that something happened. Zian's marriage was definitely going to be arranged as soon as he came back from the East China Sea."

"Can't wait, do it now."

Master Wei had an intuition that the emperor was ninety-nine percent jealous. If Wei Zian did not get married, the emperor would probably not let him come back from the East China Sea. The marriage had to be arranged as soon as possible.

So, at Master Wei's insistence, the new Young Mistress Wei got married holding the big rooster on the third day after Wei Zian left the capital.

"Hahaha, you're laughing so hard at me, Yue Ling, are you kidding me?"

When Meng Yueling visited Meng Wenyao in the palace and talked about Wei Zian's marriage, Meng Wenyao always thought it was a joke.

When Meng Wenyao's laughter died down, Meng Yueling said seriously: "I'm not teasing you at all. I said Mr. Wei had a sudden illness and wanted to see his son get married before he died."

"Then Wei Zian is not in the capital either?"

"So Mrs. Wei and the big rooster got married."

Meng Wenyao held her stomach and laughed for a while before asking, "How is Mr. Wei's health now?"

"If the bride comes in here, Master Wei can get out of bed and drink with her."

Meng Yueling rolled her eyes as she spoke, obviously thinking that Mr. Wei's words about being seriously ill were a lie, and she whispered: "Why do you think Mr. Wei is so anxious to get Wei Zian married? It won't be long until he comes back from the East China Sea, right?" Now, do you know why Wei Zian went to the East China Sea?"

After laughing for a while, Meng Wenyao thought of a possibility, her face gradually turned red, and she turned to look at the little prince's succession in embarrassment.

"Who knows, the emperor doesn't talk about matters in the court, and I don't like to ask. From now on, don't tell me anything about Wei Zian. By the way, has eldest brother's marriage been decided?"

Meng Yueling became interested when talking about the eldest brother of the Meng family: "Since my sister became the queen, our door has been beaten down. My father is too scared to go out. My brother lives in the Yamen all day and dare not go home. I As an unmarried woman, I don’t dare to go out. I hide in my room all day. If the emperor hadn’t sent someone to pick me up today, I wouldn’t have dared to go out.”

Why did Meng Wenyao become the queen and everyone in her family was so frightened? She wondered: "What are father and eldest brother afraid of?"

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, Meng Yueling said uncertainly: "It seems that my father said something about why my sister is the queen and my nephew is the prince. As the head of the state, he must not form cliques for personal gain or strengthen the influence of his relatives. The former queen's family But the grass on the grave has grown taller, so father should be more cautious."
