After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Chapter 485 Allowing Women to Share Fields

Although Xiao Zhen was reluctant to be separated from He Baoning, the climate was so different from the place where He Baoning grew up, so it must be He Baoning's health that mattered.

When it was time for lunch, He Yongdao and Qian Lan entered the palace. This was the first time the two of them saw their grandson. Seeing the grandson who was sleeping with his eyes closed in the swaddling baby, the two of them couldn't quite get along with their smiles. muzzle.

He Yongdao even generously gave his grandson a stack of banknotes to express his heart.

Xiao Ningle took the banknote and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Daddy."

Xiao Yi who heard Xiao Ningle being so affectionate at the side: "..."

It was rare for him to see Xiao Ningle calling him so sweetly.

After lunch, Qian Lan discussed with Su Jingyan about letting He Baoning return to Hangzhou City to recuperate, "Madam, this Hangzhou City is the place where Baoning grew up, and it is more suitable for recuperation than Luoyang. I want to let her go to Hangzhou City to raise her well this winter..."

Su Jing said: "It is true that Bao Ning's body is important. Bao Ning was also tired after the Queen Mother passed away, and she should go back to take a good rest. It is a pity that Zhen'er is busy with affairs in the court, and I am afraid that she can't accompany Bao Ning to Hangzhou. city."

Qian Lan said: "Don't dare to bother the prince, I will accompany Bao Ning to go back to recuperate."

Su Jing said: "No way! Flies don't bite seamless eggs. There are already many daughters in Luoyang city coveting the position of Zhen'er's side concubine. Bao Ning will still have some scruples among them. If Bao Ning goes to Hangzhou City, isn’t Zhen’er just a cracked egg?”

Although Su Jingyan could give Xiao Yi full confidence, she really couldn't trust her own son.

Xiao Zhen was born an aristocrat, if he really wanted to have a side concubine and take concubines, Su Jingyan would not be able to stop her, but as someone who had experienced it, she didn't want to share her husband with others, and she would never let her daughter-in-law suffer this kind of grievance.

Qian Lan was stunned when she heard what Su Jingyan said. Su Jingyan's worry was not unreasonable, but Qian Lan cared more about He Baoning's health than she was greedy for the position of princess in Luoyang.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, but Bao Ning's illness can't last forever. If the prince wants to find some younger sisters for Bao Ning, it is right. After all, if Bao Ning's body continues to get sick, it will be difficult for her to give birth in the future. .”

Su Jing said: "Oh, this child Bao Ning is also suffering. It's fine if you make up your mind, I will help you keep an eye on Xiao Zhen, and I will never allow him to betray Bao Ning."

Qian Lan was very grateful and said, "I'm relieved to have my mother's words."

Su Jingyan said to Qian Lan: "Since you want to go back to recuperate, you should take good care of it. The most important thing is to feel happy. Your Majesty and I are not in a hurry about the children, just take your time."

Su Jingyan has always felt that there is no shortage of heirs in the royal family. She has three children herself, so there is no need to force the younger generation to become parents early.

Hearing Su Jingyan's words, Qian Lan was relieved a lot.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, He Baoning boarded a boat bound for Hangzhou City. The tracker had already pulled the boat to set sail. He Bao stared at Xiao Zhen on the shore full of reluctance. What she was even more afraid of was that after the coming spring heat, Many newcomers will be added to Luoyang Palace when they come back.

Xiao Zhen watched the ship go away, gradually lowered her shaking hand, looked at He Yu beside him and said, "When will you come to the court to replace me? Then I can accompany Bao Ning to Hangzhou City."

He Yu said: "Are you really willing to go to Hangzhou City with the power in the household department?"

Xiao Zhen said: "Why don't you want to bear the power now? I was born with these powers, I was already powerful and powerful, but I just feel sorry for my father who is quite old, and my imperial sister just gave birth to help them .”

He Yu smiled slightly and said, "Soon, I will be able to enter the court and become an official when I win the fame in the early spring."

Xiao Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Have you figured it out and you're going to take the Classics exam?"

"No, take the Jinshi Department." He Yu said.

Xiao Zhen frowned slightly and said: "Then what you said is nonsense. I really don't understand why you are staring at the Jinshi Division. The Mingjing Division is just icing on the cake for you. You are the emperor's husband, and you can get a Mingjing Division. Shi is also justifiable.

Why do you have to try the Jinshi department? Do you know how difficult it is to get a Jinshi?How many teachers and gentlemen in the college took the exam for ten years before they got the Jinshi. "

Xiao Zhen was really in a hurry, he didn't want to be lazy, he should do things for the court and society as a prince.

But he was even more worried about his wife's health, and only wanted He Yu to enter the court as soon as possible so that he could share some of the burden for him.

He Yudao: "Mingjing is not a Jinshi after all, it's still a bit worse. Since I am a husband every year, I naturally want to give her face. Now everyone in the court says that I can only enter the East Palace because of my face..."

"You still care about these things." Xiao Zhen patted He Yu's shoulder and said, "It was because of your face that Huang Jie was puzzled by you and let you enter the East Palace."

He Yu snorted, "Of course I care, my face is easy to age, what if there will be a younger and more handsome man around me in the future? I can't stay in the East Palace just by my appearance."

Xiao Zhen said: "It's up to you, but if you don't win this time, you will really become the laughing stock of Luoyang. Be careful, my imperial sister really doesn't like you."

He Yu said confidently: "Brother, can't you give me some confidence?"

It was only two months before he left the exam, and he only wanted to be a Jinshi, to enter the court and become an official in an open and honest manner, instead of being a bad boy in the eyes of others.

Xiao Zhen said: "I'm not afraid that you won't win. When the time comes, I will lose face to my imperial sister. Even if you and I have been brothers for many years, I will not be able to help you."

He Yu said: "Niannian will not be like what you said. If I don't win, she will definitely encourage me, so that she won't be angry with me for losing face!"

"Are you sure?" Xiao Zhen snorted, "If you don't win, believe it or not, my imperial sister will be so angry that she will divorce you."

He Yu was really not sure, after returning to the East Palace, He Yu saw Xiao Ningle holding the child with one hand and watching the memorials from all over the place, and even stepped forward to take the child from her hands.

"Isn't there a nanny?"

Xiao Ningle said helplessly: "Rui'er just wanted me to hug you."

Sure enough, as soon as He Yu took Rui'er over, the little man cried out. He Yu frowned and said, "It's only been a few months since he recognized someone. I understand why Your Majesty doesn't want to see you."

Xiao Ning happily took the child from He Yu's hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense, has Bao Ning left?"

"En." He Yu looked at the memorial in Xiao Ningle's hand and said, "Now this memorial is all about the new agricultural tax."

Xiao Ningle nodded and said: "This is related to the interests of many people. They must find a way to prevent the court from eating their meat. What's more, some people think that this is because my father wants Yi Chu, so that the court will not eat their meat." Xiao Zhen went to earn political achievements, but also wanted to help me defeat Xiao Zhen...

Would they need their help to defeat Xiao Zhen?I can make Xiao Zhen dare not say a word in front of me with just two fingers! "

He Yu also smiled and said: "You have recuperated and entered the court this time, there must be many people thinking that you can cancel the new agricultural tax for them."

Xiao Ning said happily: "But not only will I not cancel the new agricultural tax, but I will also allow women all over the world to share the land. From today onwards, every girl before the age of 15 will be given one mu of land, and those over the age of 15 will be able to share the land. Two mu of land is allocated, and women don’t have to pay taxes on the land..."

He Yu said: "Isn't it appropriate? Where did this woman get her land? Your Majesty introduced the new tax because the imperial court has no more land to distribute..."

Xiao Ning said happily: "The imperial court doesn't have it. Those aristocratic families and merchants have land. They have to pay such a large amount of tax this year. I'm afraid it's better not to grow food. If the land is used to offset the tax, they will only be willing."

He Yu said: "In this way, wouldn't the folks have to distribute the land to their daughters in the future? I'm afraid this will make the common people dislike it."
