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

Meng Wenyao did not feel that Huo Qingping's arms were very strong, but she was so depressed by the atmosphere that she could not breathe. She comforted: "Master Hou, even if you are in good health, you may not be able to have children after consummating the marriage. "

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Huo Qingping asked, "Do you think I regret not being able to have children?"

"No?" Meng Wenyao asked confused.

"I don't know how many people in our family have died on the battlefield for generations. I am lucky to be alive now, and I don't care about my children. I regret that I did not become a real husband and wife with you."

Huo Qingping lowered his head and whispered in Meng Wenyao's ear: "I owe you a bridal chamber."

Meng Wenyao felt itchy behind her ears, and her whole body suddenly became covered with goosebumps.

Fortunately, she has lost the ability to have children and has such a sullen temper. If she recovered, Meng Wenyao would be worried that she would not get out of bed alive.

The next day, Meng Wenyao and Huo Qingping went to Rong'an Hall to pay their respects. When she saw Wu Qinfang, she changed from her usual saying: "Cousin, I thought about it all night last night, and I still think it is best for you to marry the Marquis. I will adopt a child in the future." Under your knees, I will focus on taking care of the children and will not disturb the love between you and the Marquis. The three of us can live a good life, and you can see the old lady every day, wouldn't it be wonderful!"

As she said that, she took Wu Qinfang's hand, and then tried to hold Huo Qingping's hand and said, "It's better for the three of us to live a good life than anything else."

Huo Qingping was now somewhat aware of Meng Wenyao's naughty temperament, so he did not retort or reprimand, and even looked at her teasing Wu Qinfang in amusement.

But his indulgent look seemed to Wu Qinfang that things were about to come true. She was so frightened that she waved her hands and said: "There were several suitable candidates in the past, but grandma has always been hesitant. This morning, grandma wrote to several friends. , my marriage should be finalized in the afternoon, my cousin and I are destined to be together after all. "

Seeing Wu Qinfang's frightened expression, Meng Wenyao suppressed a smile and said, "That's such a pity!"

Things turned out just as Wu Qinfang said, her marriage was quickly settled, and the old lady recovered from her illness vigorously.

When everything was peaceful at home, Huo Qingping proposed to accompany Meng Wenyao back to her parents' home. Naturally, the entire Meng family welcomed her, and Meng Qingya and his wife also arrived early to wait.

Meng Qingya, in particular, became restless when she heard that Huo Qingping had returned safely from the battlefield.

A voice in my heart kept shouting, the world has changed! Everything has changed!

If Huo Qingping is not paralyzed, will Qian Xiuxian still be the elder?

She had a severe headache when she thought that Qian Xiuxian had no chance of getting into the Rites Department and had no clue about getting into the Household Department.

Seeing Meng Wenyao return to Meng's house with Huo Qingping in great glory, she went crazy with jealousy.

However, she has tried many methods, but none of them can help Qian Xiuxian get promoted. Now the only feasible option may be Huo Qingping.

She returned to the Meng Mansion early, and uncharacteristically welcomed Meng Wenyao with Mrs. Meng. When she saw Meng Wenyao entering, she was the first to say hello.

"Sister, come here quickly, mother is nagging you right now!"

Meng Wenyao bowed to Mrs. Meng and sat down. She looked at the various snacks and tea that Mrs. Meng had prepared for the New Year and said politely: "Let mother worry about it."

"We are all a family. There is no need to be polite. As long as you and your sister can live well in the future, my mother will be willing to do so no matter how tired she is. Your father and I have no other wishes now. We just hope that you two sisters will live well."

Not wanting to hear Mrs. Meng being moved by herself, Meng Wenyao responded lightly and changed the subject.

"Sister looks good lately."

Meng Qingya, who was worried about not finding a suitable opportunity to interrupt, immediately cheered up.

"My sister was joking. I haven't been worried about anything, so I don't have any worries. But my sister was worried about the Marquis before. Now that the Marquis has returned safely, people are in high spirits after happy events, and they look much better than before."

After finishing her polite remarks, Meng Qingya was afraid that Meng Wenyao wouldn't answer, so she continued: "Speaking of Mr. Hou, I thought of something and wanted my sister to help."

She was not willing to bow her head and beg Meng Wenyao, but there was really no other way at the moment. As long as Qian Xiuxian finally took the position of cabinet minister, it didn't matter if she suffered some grievances in the process.

Seeing that Meng Wenyao didn't seem to have any reaction, Mrs. Meng immediately smiled and said: "We are all our own people. You can tell me whether to help you or not, but can your sister not help you?"

The mother and daughter put down the ladder as soon as they sang in harmony, and Meng Qingya climbed down the ladder.

"Then my sister shamelessly mentioned that during this war, Hubu often made things difficult for the Marquis over food and grass. They were all warriors guarding the border, and Hubu also blackheartedly withheld food and grass.

When your brother-in-law and I talked about this matter, we were both worried for the Marquis. Fortunately, the war ended early, but if there is another war in the future, what happened today may happen again. "

"Your brother-in-law and I feel that it is better for our own people to help our own people. You go back and tell the Marquis to try to transfer your brother-in-law to the Ministry of Revenue. If there is another war in the future, your brother-in-law will try his best not to , and the soldiers under the Marquis will not be hungry."

It sounded like it was all planned for Huo Qingping. Meng Wenyao thought that Qian Xiuxian made his fortune in the Ministry of Household Affairs in his previous life, so he still didn't understand what Meng Qingya was planning.

She took a sip of tea with a smile and said coldly: "My brother-in-law spent ten years in poverty studying the books of sages. Instead of staying in the Hanlin Academy to study knowledge, he went to the Ministry of Finance to compete with others just for the sake of the Marquis. Not to mention that the Marquis disagreed. , even I don’t want to delay my brother-in-law’s future like this.”

"Besides, it's up to the men to take care of these matters in the court. Let's just take care of the backyard. Mother said right?"

Although Meng Shangshu did not have a high official position, he still respected men and women, and Mrs. Meng never interfered with his career.

Now Mrs. Meng heard Meng Qingya's thoughts and Meng Wenyao's rejection. She said awkwardly: "At this moment, we women naturally have to take care of the backyard and do our best for our relatives. What if? If Xiu Xian can help the Marquis, it is naturally better to be one of our own."

Since Mrs. Meng was so shameless, Meng Wenyao was not polite. She took Mrs. Meng's hand and said with emotion: "Mother may not know that Mr. Marquis dislikes women interfering in his affairs. If I don't mention it, he will He just did what he wanted to do. If I mentioned it, he would just put down his hands and stop doing what he was originally going to do."

"Now in the front yard, if the Marquis and my brother-in-law are chatting happily, they will make their own decisions. If they don't tell me, I will mention it when I go back. If the Marquis blames me for being nosy, I'm afraid that in the future, in the court, Let alone helping each other with my brother-in-law, we might just draw a clear line."
