The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Master Jiang Wu turned around, his eyes fell on Qin Lang, and he said indifferently: "Why don't you go to the banquet hall in the outer courtyard to have a feast? What's the point of coming here to drink tea?"

Madam Zheng brought her son and daughter-in-law back to Baodi to prepare for the Qingming Festival to worship their ancestors. Today, those who came to the Dingguo Mansion to attend the wedding banquet were the third master of the Zheng family, Zheng Wenyang, and Qin Lang.

Uncle Jiang Wu was accompanying his second brother to entertain guests. After settling Uncle Zheng San, Qin Lang made an excuse to find a quiet place to talk.

Master Jiang Wu then took him back to Zhuli Pavilion.

Qin Lang put down his teacup, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "Yesterday afternoon, the Cao family sent a girl who had just reached the age of marriage to the Cining Palace. Before dinner, the Empress Dowager was ill, and the emperor went there with the imperial physician..."

Qin Lang laughed after he finished speaking. Even a rough man like him could see clearly what the Cao family was planning.

I just want to take advantage of the situation and create opportunities for His Majesty and that girl.

Cao Zhen went crazy, and the divorce letter in Marquis Xuanping's hand was never sent out.

Taking into account their past friendship, he sent Cao Zhen and Xie Yongan to the farm. Although the environment was not as good as that of the marquis' mansion, they were served by their usual servants.

All application expenses are still based on the standards when he was in the Marquis' Mansion.

Because of what Cao Zhen did, the reputation of the Cao family's unmarried girls plummeted.

If the tablet of Duke Pei was not still enshrined in the Taimiao, their branch would have been expelled from the Cao family.

At this point, the lineage of Duke Pei was truly extinct.

Master Jiang Wu narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He walked to the chair next to Qin Lang and sat down, saying slowly, "As long as His Majesty does not give up on the matter of selecting a concubine, these people from the previous dynasty will never give up."

Based on his understanding of Chen Zhengde and the Chen family, in the morning court a few days later, someone would suggest that Master Mingjue, the late emperor's Imperial Concubine Chen, return to the palace to recuperate.

After all, if the daughter of the Chen family were to be selected as a concubine, there would always be someone in the harem to help her. Otherwise, the situation in the harem would probably be controlled by the daughter of the Cao family again.

How can the Chen family control the emperor then?

Qin Lang took a sip of tea and shook his cheeks. "The Chen family is really tired."

Master Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and smiled. In the previous dynasty, Wang Fengliang was afraid of the Prime Minister Zhang Qi. If Chen Zhengde wanted to gain a foothold in the cabinet, he could only find a way to suppress the Zhang family.

Chen Zhengde noticed this point.

The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend.

There are only the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu in the harem now.

Concubine Shu had only one child, Princess Yongle, and she had never participated in any factional disputes.

As for the two princes who had been given titles but had not yet reached the age to leave the palace, the Empress Dowager was particularly close to Prince of Yan, Zhao Kuo.

The fourteen-year-old Zhao Kuo would marry a wife within one or two years, and then move his entire family to his fiefdom.

And his fiefdom was the closest to Shengjing City and the richest place among all the princes.

For a time, the Queen Mother's actions made the Chen family vaguely wary.

Now it seems that the Chen family's actions in the former dynasty and the harem may have more ambitions than just this.

Qin Lang looked at the faint smile on Jiang Wuye's calm face, raised his eyebrows and asked him: "My dear son-in-law, what are you planning now?"

Master Jiang Wu shook his head and said, "As subjects, we must share the worries of the emperor."

Putting aside the fact that the Jiang and Zheng families did not have any girls of the right age to participate in the selection of concubines, even if they did, the two families would definitely not want to send anyone to the palace.

It’s because there are too many uncertain factors about Emperor Jianming.

In the previous dynasty, within the current cabinet, the Zhang family and the Chen family are in a state of fierce game.

He just wanted to add fuel to the fire.

A maid came in outside to report that after seeing off her in-laws, the Fifth Madam had returned to Yuanyuan Hall.

Qin Lang stood up and took out a letter before leaving, "Your mother-in-law gave it to Jin Chu."

Then he left without looking back, leading the Jinyiwei waiting outside the door. It seemed as if he came here just to deliver a letter.

When Master Jiang Wu returned to Yuanyuantang, Gu Jinchu was leaning on a soft pillow doing embroidery. The sunlight from the window shone on her body, adding a soft maternal glow to her.

The mother's pregnancy was almost three months later than the baby in her belly. Now, the baby in her belly is about to be four months old.

The last time I saw my mother, she had severe morning sickness and looked much thinner. I'm afraid my mother would be overwhelmed when it comes to preparing clothes for the unborn child.

Gu Jinchu was worried about his mother, so when he was still feeling well, he would take out the basket and prepare as much as he could.

Fortunately, with the help of my grandmother and several aunts, my mother's side will always be well off.

Hearing the servants greeting her, Gu Jinchu raised her head. At this time, Master Jiang Wu had already stepped into the west room and was walking slowly towards her who was sitting on the kang by the window.

Seeing the warm smile in his eyes, Gu Jinchu unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, raised his hand, and spoke to him with a smile, "Fifth Master, why are you back so soon?"

Master Jiang Wu hooked her fingertips, held her hand in his palm, and gently rubbed her finger bones with his fingertips.

There was a doting look in his eyes, and his voice was gentle and low, "My mother-in-law brought a letter, and I wanted to show it to you as soon as possible."
