The general's wife is sick

Nie Xuyang ascended the throne smoothly, and the two original concubines became queens logically. So far, Hong Yan is the queen of the East Palace, Yan Bao is the queen of the West Palace, and the queens of the two palaces coexist.

Yan Bao has also become the first Shuang'er queen since the founding of the dynasty. In the past, Shuang'er was at most a titled Shuangjun in the harem, but Yan Bao became a queen because Emperor Xuande wanted to improve Shuang'er. It coincides with the idea of ​​the status of women.

There is a Shuang'er queen in the harem, and two Shuang'er officials were promoted by the previous dynasty. Even if the road ahead is difficult, this decree of Emperor Xuande is still a hope in the hearts of the world.Not to mention that Nie Xuyang will continue to carry out this decree.

Hong Guogong and Yan Shinuo became the head of the country, and the people who came to the door made the house crowded, and Yan Shinuo's business flourished even more.

The fact that officials in the DPRK and China were engaged in business showed that the imperial court no longer regarded merchants as the lowest class, and encouraged the development of commerce, which made the economy of the Chang'an Dynasty rise by more than one level.

Wealth in hands, stability in the world, appropriate relaxation of taxation, and the absence of serious taxation will naturally improve the lives of the people.

Seeing the surplus money in the hands of a stable life made the imperial power more authoritative in the hearts of the people, so that after Nie Xuyang came to power, he did not start to do big things, only reduced taxes, and his status in the hearts of the people had already become high.

As for the fact that Nie Xuyang became the emperor, what was even more surprising was Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang who were placed in the capital.

Back then, after Nie Xuyang ascended the throne, the two elders were very happy, and they were extraordinarily vigorous in tending the land. The flowers and plants in the entire compound had been cleaned up, and the seeds planted in spring were now lush green.

But based on the experience of the two old people, they didn't know what the word emperor represented, and they only thought that the bowls for eating had to be gold, and the cups for drinking had to be silver.

When the door was knocked, Grandpa Zhang was watching people carrying water from the lake in the courtyard to the vegetable field. He was holding a ladle in his hand and was waiting for the bucket to be brought to him. It was different when someone helped him, and he didn’t have to work hard anymore. For them, carrying buckets over and over again, farming is more like seeking a psychological comfort for them.

Grandma Zhang is pulling weeds. They are down-to-earth farmers who only know how to watch the sky eat and serve the land under their feet. When they came here, if it weren't for the yard under their feet, he and Grandpa Zhang would not be able to stay in the capital at all.

The butler led a group of Xuanzhi eunuchs and reward eunuchs in eunuch uniforms, and Grandma Zhang who was pulling weeds also raised her head.

Because the two old people didn't understand the rules, Nie Xuyang specifically asked the two old people not to kneel to receive the order. After the eunuch announced the edict, the two old people were still confused and could not understand.

The Xuanzhi eunuch had already been told secretly by Xiao Fuzi, and now he was all smiles, "Where do you think the servant should put the things that the emperor rewarded you and the elder?"

Grandpa Zhang looked up, and saw that a string of little eunuchs were holding things in their hands that he had never seen before. "All these things are for us?"

"Yes, it's all for your elders. This is the wish of the emperor and Empress Xigong. The empress also said that she will invite the elders to sit in the palace in the future."

Grandma Zhang was so excited that she didn't know what to say. They were just ordinary farmers. What kind of luck was this?

Grandpa Zhang responded with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress, for your note."

Since Zhang's family came to the palace, the neighbors have more contacts.

At first, Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang treated people politely and warmly, and Grandma Zhang would help people around if they were short of three melons and two dates. One day, after the housekeeper sent the people back, he told the neighbors that they looked old and stingy, not like the nobles in Beijing, and even looked down on them for growing vegetables in the courtyard.

Grandma Zhang felt sad for a while, she was lucky enough to help them, "How can they talk like that?"

"One thing in person, one thing behind the other!" Grandpa Zhang snorted angrily, "Close the door, and no one will be allowed in!"

Hong Yan and Yan Bao became queens of the Eastern and Western Palaces. Their rise in status brought about rights and convenience in life. The queens had the right to summon the noble ladies in various mansions. Naturally, Mrs. Hong Guogong was able to get the queen's order to enter the palace to have an audience.

This is much cheaper than in the General's Mansion before, Mrs. Hong Guogong is a serious lady with the Queen's will, so it is very convenient to enter the palace.

But Yan Bao's mother was only the daughter of a guilty minister. When Yan Bao's grandfather's family was convicted, it was the punishment ordered by Emperor Xuande himself.Now that Emperor Xuande abdicated to be the Supreme Emperor, Nie Xuyang could not overturn his will to elevate Wang Yiyun's status, so Wang Yiyun could enter the palace only after obtaining permission from the imperial decree.

After Mrs. Hong Guogong entered the palace, Hong Yanping retreated from everyone, leaving only the child in front of her eyes. Now the child is four years old. The empress's son is both the legitimate son and the eldest prince. The hopes of everyone in Hong Guogong's lineage are pinned on this child. .

But only Hong Yan knows that her status as queen is hard-won. Since the child was born, Nie Xuyang has seen him very few times. name.

At that time, her husband probably really wanted to remove her and her child from the family tree.

"Xingcheng, come here!" Madam Hong Guogong greeted.

The child's previous name was Xiong Xingcheng, and he was also of the star generation. Only then did everyone know that when Emperor Xuande named Xiong Jinghai's triplet sons, he probably had already thought about it, even if Xiong Zhengli could not be recognized as his ancestor. , and also allowed his children to enjoy the same glory and wealth as the prince, while Xiong Jinghai's triplets were honored by Xiong Zhengli.

It's just that no one thought that things would develop to such a degree later.

"Grandmother." The eldest prince, now known as Nie Xingcheng, bowed to Mrs. Hong Guogong safely.

There was no outsider in the hall, Mrs. Hong Guogong held his hand and hugged him into her arms, "It's really polite, your empress taught me well."

Hong Yan smiled wryly, she, the Empress of the Eastern Palace, was just a nominal one. In the past three years, she has guarded this child for more than 1000 days and nights, and her heart has completely cooled.

The existence of Emperor Xuande can only keep her status, but this is enough for her. When Emperor Xuande was in power, the harem was involved in politics. She was as smart as her. When she first entered the palace, she retracted her hand. She is incomparable. The original queen mother, she also didn't want to see her mother's family be slaughtered in the end. She was not favored, but she would not give anyone a chance to bring her down.

Fortunately, Hong Yan thought, I still have a child.

"I'm thinking about it now, as long as Cheng'er can grow up safely and leave the palace to build a mansion."

This smart woman has been full of hope three years ago, and now she is guarding this cold palace and her own child. It has to be said that although her intelligence and patience have never bought her a man with a She loves each other and respects her husband like a guest, but what she gets in return is the comfort and honor for the rest of her life.

Mrs. Hong Guogong saw her daughter becoming the only noble woman in the palace, and she was also happy in her heart, but she would not be so stupid as to show the ambition of the family when the child was still young. The example of the former queen mother was bloody there, She laughed, "Your Majesty said so."

Compared with Hong Yan's calmness, Yan Bao's life is not so smooth and comfortable. His relationship with Nie Xuyang is up and down, and the two often get angry.

Now that Nie Xuyang is the emperor, even if Yan Bao wanted to run away from home, he would just move from the East Wing to the Nuan Pavilion.

Nanny Lin has been promoted to be the nanny in charge in the Queen's Palace, and there are a bunch of little maids under her command.

Yan Bao also gave birth to a son, but this son is far more favored than Nie Xingcheng, but you can get a glimpse of it from the name Nie Xuyang gave him.

This child is called Nie Xingyu, but the more he is favored, the higher Nie Xuyang's expectations are for him. He is only a little over three years old, but he has received much more education than the eldest prince, including Nie Xuyang's personal teach.

The reason why people's heart grows on the left side is because it is biased. This bias is inexplicable and has no reason at all.

In the evening, Nie Xingyu's rare play time came to an end, Yan Bao hugged him, and he carefully touched Yan Bao's belly, "Is the queen mother's belly a little brother or a little sister?"

Yes, Yan Bao is pregnant again, his mood can't stop Nie Xuyang's aggression at all, earlier in the General's Mansion, Yan Bao was not his opponent, not to mention that he is now an undeniable existence in the entire dynasty.

"Then do you like brother or sister?"

"I like my brother."

"why?"

"Father said that when he had a younger brother, someone would read and write with Xingyu, and he could also practice martial arts together. Father also said that when he was a child, he was very envious of watching his brother practice martial arts and reading, and Xingyu wanted to be the one who was envied. elder brother."

Yan Bao couldn't help smiling, and before he could speak, Nie Xuyang's voice came in, Yan Bao resisted the urge to roll his eyes, it's amazing to be powerful, every time you enter the palace, the palace people are not allowed to report, this kind of sneak attack has happened too many times, Yan Bao knew very well that he was afraid that he had no secrets at all in the palace.

"Xingyu, my good brother won't be pestering his mother at such a late hour. A good brother should study hard to set an example for his younger siblings, teach them to read and write, teach them martial arts, and take them to play together."

"Ah..." Nie Xingyu was a little dumbfounded, didn't he agree to just be an envied brother? "Father, queen mother rested earlier, and Xingyu has gone back."

When he said this, Yan Bao clearly noticed that Xing Yu's mood was lost.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed the little guy's head, "You're still young, it's useless to think about it. You're an older brother, and when your younger siblings are born, they will listen to you. You have the final say."

Seeing that the little guy's eyes lit up again, and he was happy to leave, Yan Baocai put away the smile on his face.

Nie Xuyang doesn't know why there are concubines in the palace, but he wants to seek abuse from Yan Bao, but after many years of getting along with him, he has completely mastered how to mobilize Yan Bao's emotions.

"I sent someone to visit Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang."

Yan Bao, who hadn't paid attention to him a second ago, raised his ears and turned his eyes, "Are they all right?"

"Please, I'll let you see." The old god Nie Xuyang looked at him with an expression of certainty.

Again!

Yan Bao clenched his hands into fists, this man became more and more hateful.

In fact, he could feel Nie Xuyang's love. Even if he was angry with him, he still came to visit him and Xingyu regardless of the weather. His reason for being a human being.

Yan Bao is not a wooden man, he has flesh and blood, although he feels Nie Xuyang's love, he still feels that this man makes his teeth itch.

Just like now, he grasped his weakness and forced himself to submit over and over again. Whether it was letting Aunt Wang enter the palace or he wanted to see Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang, this man always told himself calmly, what he wanted An equal price needs to be paid.

And the price of the last few times is in his stomach right now!

"Can't you be a little promising? Can't you think about anything else besides worrying about this?!"

Yan Bao gritted his teeth, but Nie Xuyang was in a strange mood. He liked Yan Bao talking to him like this, and the rare intimacy made him even happier than being in bed.

"cannot!"

He likes Yan Bao, who was unwilling to give in before, making all kinds of shameful movements and expressions under his request, the appearance of biting his lower lip, or the posture of licking peony flowers from behind, beautiful Back spine, everything about Yan Bao made him fall in love with him to the bottom of his heart.

The birth of Nie Xuyang's bad taste comes from Xiong Jinghai, but Yan Bao is not Ji Liu. After all, Ji Liu is a man psychologically. As a result, the same trick worked very well for Ji Liu, but it backfired for Yan Bao.

But Nie Xuyang didn't know, he only knew that if he did this, Yan Bao would be obedient, and he had never liked his emperor status so much.

Yan Bao turned to ignore him, Nie Xuyang gave him a curious look, "I really don't want to see you?"

"It's gone. Let the world say that Empress Xigong disrespected her elders after gaining power, she was arrogant, not only unfilial to her biological parents, but also unfilial to those who have saved her life."

"..."

This trick made Nie Xuyang dumbfounded for a moment, but then he changed his mind after being educated by the emperor, "Don't provoke me, you can't be filial to hide, but there is still me, I will order someone to send something to the house tomorrow , but if you want to see him, it's still the same sentence, please!"

Finally, Yan Bao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "I'm too lazy to talk to you!"

Nie Xuyang poured himself a cup of tea with a calm expression. After his identity changed, only when he came to Yan Bao would he feel like he was in the general's mansion, because only Yan Bao didn't care about his identity, and only his attitude was consistent from beginning to end. It hasn't changed.

"The more lazy you are to talk to me, the more I want to talk to you." Nie Xuyang was no longer limited to verbal teasing, he just sat over and hugged Yan Bao into his arms, looking at Yan Bao's appearance, he couldn't help but lean on him Went up and kissed, "It's good that you've been like this."

"Who knows what stupid things you'll say."

"Heh..." Nie Xuyang chuckled, "Only you dare to treat me like this."

Yan Bao raised his eyes and glanced at him, Nie Xuyang never used the word "Zhen" to him, he could understand his heart.

The two of them came to the bed with a half push and a half. When the curtain of the bed was lowered, their hearts were filled with silence.

For Nie Xuyang, no matter how many people there are in the backyard of the deep palace, they can't match the one in his arms. For Yan Bao, he is satisfied with being in a high position and still having him in his heart.
