When Situ Zheng, Lin Xi, and Xiao Jiu returned to Beijing, they had to go back to the palace first to meet their father, queen, and queen, and to report to Emperor Jin Kang, who was the former crown prince, so after helping Jia She with the family affairs, they hurriedly Entered the palace.

The Supreme Emperor Jin Mingdi could already tell that he was old, and now he and the Empress Dowager Zhou are hiding in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and they can easily live freely without meddling in government affairs.

However, Situ Zheng discovered that Emperor Jin Ming's left hand obviously had the sequelae of a stroke, and immediately asked angrily, "Father, did you not take the vermilion fruit I left for you? How could this happen?"

Empress Zhou wanted to say something, but finally she covered her face with a handkerchief, and said with shaking fingers: "It's useless to scare us with such a wicked person, not to mention Zhu Guo, even dragon liver and phoenix marrow!"

Situ Zheng said awkwardly, it turned out that something happened to him, and the emperor was worried that he had a stroke?So, with some guilt, he put his head into Emperor Jin Ming's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Father, it was Xiao Qi who was unfilial and caused Father to damage his body. Xiao Qi will definitely restore Father to health!"

Emperor Jin Ming hugged his son with his still strong right hand, stroked Situzheng's back with his left hand, and said disapprovingly, "Why did Zitong get angry at Xiao Qi for what the beast did, it seems to scare the child."

The Empress Dowager Zhou snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, this little bastard is also a worry-free Omen star!"

Situ Zheng, who was crying, was taken aback for a moment, and looked at his father, waiting for an explanation.

Jin Mingdi, who was sandwiched between the mother and child, said helplessly: "Look at you, how old you are, your temper is getting more and more violent, and you eat fast and pray to Buddha on weekdays, this child finally came back safely, and you still say these things do what?"

Then he said in a big voice: "You are the same child, you said that when you went out, didn't you scare me and your mother?"

Sitting by the side, Jin Kangdi felt sorry for his younger brother, and he came back so easily, it was fine if he was not comforted, and even told by his parents, he didn't know if he was wronged or not.

So he hurriedly said to Xi Ni: "Father, mother, Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu are fine when they come back, the past is over, let's talk about something happy, it happens that the queen is also ready for a family banquet, let's go first?"

Emperor Jin Ming hurriedly said: "Ce'er is right, let's go, let's go to eat first, then let Xiaoqi and the others have a good rest, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it later."

When my younger brother who loved him since he was a child came back, Emperor Jin Kang naturally ordered people to make the banquet as perfect as possible. The empress did not have one thing at all because of her gratitude to this brother-in-law, and she did her best.

Over the years, I don't know whether it was Jin Kangdi's intention to control it or it was a matter of fate. Although the emperor now has several concubines in the harem in order to balance the government, only the queen gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

However, what is certain is that the queen has really not tampered with this aspect.

Although many ministers in the previous court put forward their opinions, there was nothing they could do.It can't be said that the emperor loves the queen, and the concubines in the palace are equivalent to decorations, is it wrong?

You know, the harmony between the emperor and the queen is the blessing of the people. The emperor and the queen mother didn't say anything, so you keep talking, isn't it nothing to do?

Therefore, even the censors who are most willing to find trouble for nothing can do nothing about it. After all, the emperor has no shortage of concubines, so as for which one to sleep with, do you have to get your approval?

In addition, the emperor already had both children, and it was no secret that he attached great importance to his son-in-law. Under such circumstances, if there were no accidents, it should be a certainty that the son-in-law would inherit the throne.

Seeing the situation, she knew a little bit about others, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​sending her daughter to the palace. After all, this is likely to cause her daughter to sit on the bench, and it will make the empress's disgust worse. Disgusting the next emperor.

Of course, there are those who can see clearly, and naturally there are those who can't. Otherwise, the concubines of Emperor Jin Kang's harem would not appear. It is impossible for the emperor to lack women.

No matter what the original character of the woman is, but she has been trapped in the harem for a long time and cannot be favored by the emperor. The depression in this woman's heart will drive people crazy sooner or later.

Moreover, most of the girls sent to the palace are at the age of flower bones, and the oldest will not exceed twenty-eight years old, but they have been widowed since entering the palace, and they have to look at other women and be raped by their nominal husbands. There is so much love, but they still have to salute and say hello, how can I balance my heart?

It is said that not worrying about scarcity but inequality, if Emperor Jin Kang had that temperament and was not interested in pampering his concubines, everyone would not say anything, but in fact it was not the case.

The emperor didn't use the queen as a shield. He was pure-hearted and devoted himself to government affairs. He was really favored by her. The most direct evidence was the birth of the prince and princess.

Speaking of this, in fact, it has nothing to do with Situ Zheng, but these jealous women condense into a rope and attack the queen together, which destroys Situ Zheng's temperament.

In fact, they didn't do anything. After all, the queen is their master and concubine, the emperor is still on the queen's side, and the queen mother has no intention of suppressing her daughter-in-law to fight for power, so they just speak sourly.

In normal times, although the queen mother is not in the mood to praise them to fight with the queen, she will also not care about these women's jealousy. In her opinion, these women's battlefields are not in her hands.

If the queen is in such a good situation, but she doesn't even have the ability to suppress the people below, she might as well abdicate as soon as possible.

But today is different, this is her youngest son's welcome banquet, don't look at the Empress Dowager Zhou who dislikes her son in every possible way, but to be honest, she is no different from ordinary people, she is also an old son and grandson, old The wife's lifeblood.

Situzheng is her youngest son, so it's natural that she loves it. What's more, it is said that children who can cry have candy. The distressed child naturally put more thought into it.

What's more, the Empress Dowager Zhou knew in her heart that without this youngest son, Ce'er might not inherit the throne so easily, and she and the Supreme Emperor would also not have the current harmony, and the Zhen family was a thorn in their hearts, so, In a sense, this son is really her lucky star.

Therefore, when Situ Zheng frowned in dissatisfaction, it was rare for the Empress Dowager Zhou to get angry, and even directly expel people completely.

That's not enough, the Supreme Emperor even said: "Emperor, what's wrong, Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu are back, we are a family feast, why bring these irrelevant things here? Bad luck!"

Emperor Jin Kang didn't mean to complain at all, but just said with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye: "What the father said is true, it is my son's fault."

The empress hooked the corners of her mouth imperceptibly, covered it with a handkerchief, and said: "Father, empress, I can't blame the emperor for this matter. It's all the fault of my sons and sisters. I think my sisters have never seen the two uncles." , and this allowed them."

Although the Empress Dowager knew that there was a Queen's small mind here, and she was very dissatisfied with the Queen's use of her own son to deal with these women, she also knew that these women should indeed attend such an occasion according to their rank.

So he said lightly: "Forget it, I don't have to lose my interest because of these irrelevant people. It's just that, in the future family banquets, don't let these unworthy people come out."

The queen agreed happily, and the emperor gave the queen a helpless and indulgent look, and also smiled and agreed: "What the queen mother said is very true."

There are no secrets in the palace, and no one will keep the family banquet secret, and the queen even let it out on purpose. No woman likes to share her husband.

People outside who should know will naturally know soon. People who were still a little cautious and couldn't see the situation clearly, when the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager expressed their views, they naturally quickly dispelled their thoughts.

After the banquet was over, the emperor naturally followed the queen back to Fengyi Palace. The queen smiled and said while serving the emperor: "Your Majesty, the presents given to the children by the seventh and ninth brothers are really thoughtful."

Thinking of those magic weapons that Situzheng and Lin Xi personally made, which can avoid all kinds of poisons, and can also avoid swords and robbers, the emperor said with a smile: "Xiao Qi knew it had a big history when he was born, and he is also considerate and generous. Otherwise, I wouldn't love this kid so much with my father, but since he was young, he was also the most troublesome, and he never made people worry."

The emperor cared more about this younger brother than his two sons, and the queen did not have any objections, but what happened later made her have no objections other than gratitude, and she even wanted to treat this uncle as a son.

After clapping the queen's hand, the emperor said: "Zitong, I'm not an indulgent person. The harem is just a decoration. I think it's not a problem to let these women in the harem waste their time like this."

The queen looked at the emperor, waiting for the emperor to continue.

Emperor Jin Kang glanced at the Queen's vigilant eyes, and said dumbfoundedly: "What is Zitong thinking about? I didn't want to favor them in the first place, and I just sat around because of the rules. Now I just want to benefit the people, so naturally it is even more important. I don't have that kind of thought anymore."

The queen's small thoughts were exposed, and she blushed immediately, but she still insisted and said: "Of course the concubines believe in the emperor, but they don't know what the emperor will do. After all, these sisters are pitiful people. It’s just a tool that the family gave up for profit.”

Jin Kangdi couldn't see that she was wrong, but he didn't want her to come down, so he just smiled and continued: "I think, I will manage this great river and mountain well, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing." Nuan, why would you want to turn my country against me?"

"And I have lived in the palace since I was a child. I am used to seeing the filthy women in the harem. I have long been tired of it. I really hope that after government affairs, when I come back, I will face a relaxed home, just like when I was a child, instead of facing A small court of intrigues."

"I have time to deal with the troubles of the women in the backyard. Why don't I find a way to bring more benefits to the common people, so that I can add a piece of meat to the bowls of the common people in Daxing."

The queen heard from the emperor about his life in Fengyi Palace when he was a child. Up to now, the backyard still retains the original courtyard of the Seventh Emperor, but now it belongs to her three children.

Jin Kangdi paused for a moment and said: "Wait a minute, Jia Jing has already opened the gap on the Maori side before, if it hadn't been for the death of Mr. gone."

"When things are settled there, even the nomads in the north will be able to eat and clothe themselves. At that time, I will let these women choose to go back and remarry, or choose to be free women. Let people go out of the palace."

"From now on, Zitong doesn't have to worry about enriching the harem anymore, and I won't enter the harem anymore. It's just that this decree can't be promulgated directly for the time being."

"However, I think that if it works in the future, let the children stay away from women as much as possible and focus more on government affairs."

The queen was very happy, so she said: "I listen to the emperor." I thought to myself, maybe, I can try to really trust the emperor?
