Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

Jiang Mingyue looked at her husband's temporary letter and asked curiously.

"Will Your Majesty agree to General Cao's petition?"

Xie Yuan said with certainty: "Yes!"

He then explained to his wife: "Lu Beiyou is not only a prince-in-law, but also has outstanding abilities.

Although Wusu surrendered, he kept making small moves in private, but he solved them all.

In addition, his prestige now exceeds that of General Cao, and no one is more suitable for that position than him. Even if the court sends a new guard general, he may not be able to hold back the position. "

Jiang Mingyue sighed after hearing this: "General Lu should be the fastest promoted general in Chu."

It only took him three years to go from being a white man to becoming a third-level general.

"Well, that's the case for now, but it will be difficult for him to be promoted in the future unless Wusu is destroyed."

"It's true!"

The promotion of military generals below the fourth rank is relatively simple, but the promotion of military generals above the fourth rank is extremely difficult, because those who reach this position are people with tens of thousands of military power. They must not only have outstanding abilities, but also have a clean family background and military exploits. The key is You also need to win the trust of the court. Zhang Chongyue, a veteran of two dynasties, was only of the second rank until his death.

The second thing Minghong mentioned was a happy event. Not long ago, Xie Rou was promoted to Concubine Rou. Even though it was just a small leap, it was of great significance.

When Xie Rou was a wife before, she was not qualified to be on the royal jade plate, which meant that the royal family did not recognize her, but it was different now. She was a daughter-in-law recognized by the royal family, and any children she gave birth to would receive a title in the future.

On the premise that there is no main concubine, she is the first person in Song Ren's concubine. Even if Song Ren marries the main concubine in the future, she will no longer have to look at the concubine's face like before.

"I'm really happy for my sister. Now that she has become a concubine, she can not only better protect Sister Lan and Brother Hao, but she no longer has to be as cautious as before. This can be considered a success for my sister. "

Xie Yuan said softly, "Hmm". His sister became a concubine, and she will have the ability to protect herself in the future. When he returns to Kyoto next year, it will be much easier for them to meet again than before.

Speaking of sister, Jiang Mingyue also thought of Song Ren.

"Will the King Xian return to Beijing next year?"

A year ago, several of the eldest princes were named kings one after another. Song Ren was named the Wise King by the Holy Emperor. In the past, everyone called him His Highness the Fifth Prince, but now he is His Highness the Wise King.

"Well, now that farmers' manure has been soaked in all parts of Da Chu, it's natural for the wise king to return to the capital."

Jiang Mingyue was somewhat worried when she heard this.

"Doesn't that mean that Kyoto will be very lively in the future? I don't know if it is good or bad for us to go back now."

"Don't think so much, I will protect you." Xie Yuan kissed his wife's forehead comfortingly.

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm'. Her husband has served two consecutive terms in Yuanjiang Mansion, and next year will be the sixth year. The Holy Emperor will never let Xie Yuan be re-elected, so they will definitely return to Beijing next year.

In the past few years, my husband's political performance has been excellent every year. After returning to Beijing, he will definitely be promoted. Even if he is only promoted to one rank, he will be a fourth-rank official, which is enough to protect the three of them.

"I don't know if Master and Aunt Wan will be willing to return to Beijing with us."

"Yes, they can't live without Tuanzi and Putao. Moreover, the two of them are getting older and can no longer run. The Holy Emperor will not allow the eldest princess to travel outside anymore, but the two of them will not enter the capital."

"Staying in Wanping?" Jiang Mingyue asked.

Xie Yuan said softly.

The couple talked for a long time that day. It was not until Tuanzi and Putao came calling that they went back to the backyard to rest.

The next day, after seeing her husband off, Jiang Mingyue took her children to Crucian Carp Island.

There are many more people going to Crucian Carp Island now than before. They are not only doing business and delivering goods, but some are also there for fun.

After two years of development, Crucian Carp Island has become the second Yuanjiang Prefecture, lively and prosperous, and there are now some shops opened by water barbarians on the island, selling various sea products. People from Yuanjiang Prefecture will go there whenever they have time. have a look.

As more and more people go to Crucian Carp Island, the boat speed is much faster than before. The boat owners want to carry as many passengers as possible so that they can earn more.

At three o'clock in the morning, Jiang Mingyue and the others arrived at Crucian Carp Island. Putao and Tuanzi looked at her and said, "Mom, we are going to find our friends. We will go to the wine shop later."

Because they often come to Crucian Carp Island, Tuanzi and Putao have met many friends here, including some water barbarian children.

Tuanzi and Putao played with them more often, and gradually learned to speak Shuiman dialect. It can be said that the best speakers of Shuiman dialect in their family now are not Xie Yuan or her, but Tuanzi and Putao.

"Okay, don't leave Wang Zhong and Shuizhao's sight."

"understood!"

After watching her children go away, Jiang Mingyue went to the liquor store. Along the way, she met many water barbarian girls and some young water barbarian boys.

Some Shuiman girls are accompanied by a large number of Chu men. Seeing how close they are, you can tell that their relationship is unusual.

Shuiman girls are very beautiful, and they are passionate and unrestrained. When they meet someone they like, they will reveal their love as soon as possible, so they are deeply loved by Dachu men.

The waterman boys are different. Although they are good-looking, their skin is generally dark due to fishing all year round. They have a faint fishy smell and their temperaments are not very good.

Jiang Mingyue walked all the way to the liquor store, and there were countless young men who showed their affection to her. At this time, she was extremely lucky that Xie Yuan did not come with them, otherwise he would have been jealous again.

Jiang Mingyue walked into the wine shop and realized that her mother was not here. She asked shopkeeper Feng, but shopkeeper Feng didn't know, so she planned to go see her father first.

The younger brother's provincial examination is a big event for the Jiang family. The clan members are very concerned about this matter, and so are the parents. I don't know how they got here during this period. With the good news, Jiang Mingyue naturally wanted to tell her immediately. them.

When she came out of the wine shop, she saw her mother walking towards her. Jiang Mingyue smiled before saying anything: "Mom!"

Shen Bingxin saw her daughter walking over quickly.

"When did you come here?"

"I just came here, and I saw you weren't here. I was just going to see my dad!"

"I'm going to the hill."

Shen Bingxin led her daughter into the living room, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Mulan Zhu is here."

Jiang Mingyue was shocked when she heard this; "Don't people in her country know about it?"

Two years ago, Mulanzhu was escorted back to Shuiman Kingdom by the navy army. With the help of Da Chu, she successfully killed her aunt and ascended the throne of the queen.

In order to thank Da Chu, Mulanzhu has sent people to Beijing for two consecutive years to pay tribute to Song Ming with some special products and precious pearls, jewelry, etc. of Shuiman Kingdom. It is precisely because of this that Shuiman Kingdom now has a good relationship with Da Chu.

However, there are always different voices in a country, and there are many people in her aunt's lineage who hold real power. Every time she goes out, it is extremely dangerous.
