A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 793 Wu Erniang Queen
  At noon, I ate a bowl of locust leaf cold soup at Baqiao Posthouse.

It's very cool and strong, but it's still a bit worse than my elder sister Yu'e's Sophora Leaf Lengtao in my memory.

After the meal, Wu Erniang said she wanted to give Huaiyu a gift, so she pulled him aside. The little girl gave him a sachet made by herself.

"Brother Qingyang, is His Highness the Crown Prince okay?"

"Well, I heard it's not bad."

"I heard that the prince angered the saint this time because he had a male favorite, right?"

The little girl raised her head and looked at Huaiyu seriously and asked.

"Where did you hear that?" Huaiyu smiled.

"really?"

"I heard that the male favorite is called Ruixin?"

Huaiyu shook his head, "There is a sweetheart in the East Palace, but he is actually a happy boy, not a boy's favorite." He lied. He really felt that it was a bit unacceptable to tell a nine-year-old girl that her prince's fiancé favored a beautiful boy. exit,
  Although it may be that in the eyes of the emperor and even the nobles and ministers, having a male favorite is not a big deal.

But after all, Er Niang is only nine years old, so she is afraid that she will be disgusted.

The second mother said, "Even if the prince brother has a male favorite, it doesn't really matter. Why is the saint so angry? There must be other reasons, right?"

"Well, a few Taoist priests got involved and used their Taoist techniques to confuse the East Palace and did a lot of bad things."

"Brother, you must help His Highness the Crown Prince. He is just not sensible yet and made a mistake."

Huaiyu was surprised at how mature this girl was, that she actually considered it like this at this time.

She's really different from other girls.

It made him feel a little uneasy. He was only nine years old, and he was acting a bit too evil.

"I, Aye, are returning to Beijing this time. Brother, can you help me, Aye, to enter the political affairs hall? If brother cannot return to Chang'an, someone from our Wu family must be in charge."

Huaiyu was really curious about what was going on in this girl's mind and why she was thinking like this at such a young age.

He no longer regarded her as a little girl, and said seriously, "I have basically agreed that you, Aye, will be appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs first when you come to Beijing. Within three to five months, you will be able to enter the political affairs hall."

"Thank you, brother."

"Thank you, we are a family."

"Well, we are a family." Erniang smiled. The little girl's smile was pretty, much cuter than her adult way of speaking in a mature way.

·······
  After a year and a half, Wu Huaiyu returned to Chang'an.

Also entering the city was the warrior Yu.

The two deliberately chose to enter the city at dusk. Just before the city gate was about to close, the two groups entered Chang'an City. After entering the city, each returned to their homes.

Huaiyu went straight to the Duke of Jin's Mansion in Xuanyangfang, while the warrior Xun returned to the Duke of Zhou's Mansion in Xicheng.

It's not that no one came to greet us, it's just that they didn't notify us in advance.

Huaiyu's sudden return home made the Duke of Jin's house feel agitated.

"Alang is back."

"The Prime Minister is back."

Wu Cheng, the concierge, clasped his back and shouted happily at the top of his voice in the mansion, announcing the return of the man of the house.

The female relatives in the back house also heard the urgent report from the maids,

One by one came to greet them.

Fan Xuanfu and Li Qing are worthy of being heroes among women who practice swordsmanship and are good at riding and shooting. Although they are both mothers who have given birth to children, they are still agile and were the first to arrive.

"came back?"

Fan Xuanfu ran all the way here. The Duke's Palace of Jin was so big that half of it was set aside for the Longmen Temple. It even occupied an area of ​​[-] acres. He was out of breath all the way. But when the old couple actually met, they only said a few words. These three words.

Huaiyu, on the other hand, directly hugged his wife into his arms in front of everyone. They had been apart for more than a year and missed her very much.

He hugged her into his arms and kissed her twice, but she still felt it wasn't enough, so she hugged him again and spun him around twice. Fan Xuanfu's face turned red, he became a little shy, and his heart was beating fiercely.
  Although I was a little ashamed, I felt so happy.

Li Qing was the second one to arrive. After Wu Huaiyu hugged Fan Xuanfu and turned around in a circle, she actually opened her arms to Huaiyu to hug him, turn around in circles, and lift him up.

Don't favor one over the other,

Huaiyu smiled and hugged her into his arms, then held her in circles, and finally kissed her twice.

"If Alangyi had written earlier and said he was coming back, Runniang and the two Pei clans would have stayed behind. Didn't you guys meet them on the way?"

"I really haven't encountered it yet,"

Huaiyu estimated that they might have missed it on the water of the Yangtze River or Han River.

"Then they will have to cry to death. They traveled thousands of miles to be with you, but in the end you returned to Chang'an and missed you on the way."

"It's okay. I will return to Lingnan soon after staying in Chang'an."

The concubines came to meet each other one by one.

After being apart for more than a year, they were very excited to see their husband come back, and they even felt like they wanted to eat someone with their eyes shining brightly.

Come to think of it, after being separated for more than a year when they were in their blooming years, it would be hard to live like a widow.

Huaiyu smiled at everyone and asked Shi Shouxin and Pang Yanzhang to take out the gifts and distribute them.

Then he looked at the children in the yard and couldn't recognize them all.

There are more than thirty children, the oldest is over five years old, the youngest is two years old, Dalang Chengsi and the others are okay. They were over three years old when Huaiyu left, and they have a deep impression of their father, so they will come over now. Holding legs and holding hands is not unfamiliar at all.

But the younger ones were very familiar with life. When Huaiyu left, they were just over half a year old.

Even Huaiyu didn't recognize these little ones. It was their biological mother who introduced them to Huaiyu.

The third child born to Fan Xuanfu was only two years old. Huaiyu didn't recognize his eighteenth son, so he took him over and hugged him. The boy was still reluctant to recognize him.

It's getting late,

The house was bustling with excitement, and Fan Xuanfu asked for an extra meal.

Even the servants in the mansion were given extra meals and rewards. Huaiyu went to take a bath and change clothes, and the whole family happily had dinner.

After the meal, the women's eyes were bright, and they stared at each one like wolves and tigers.

As a result, Fan Xuanfu said very forcefully, "My husband will stay in my courtyard tonight."

This was the power of the eldest wife, and the other concubines could only sigh inwardly.

Fan Xuanfu was also a woman, and knew the desires of these concubines, so he immediately said, "Starting tomorrow, after dinner, lots will be drawn in each room. Whoever the husband draws will rest in that room, but those who have served Alang will not participate in the drawing. Those who feel uncomfortable are also pushed back and pumped.
  After one round, draw again..."

Everyone accepted this arrangement of drawing lots and taking turns to serve. They also felt that the lady was fair and generous and did not dominate her husband.

Wu Huaiyu looked at this group of girls. Didn't anyone ask me for my opinion? Didn't they consider whether I was tired after traveling a long distance?
  You draw lots like this,

I’m really not afraid of tiring the cow to death.

Wu Huaiyu had one wife, nine concubines and eighteen concubines, four of whom were not at home, and there were twenty-four more in Chang'an.

Accompany them all, one person for one day, for twenty-four days.

"Five days and one day off, okay?" Huaiyu made a small request.

Fan Xuanfu looked at him and made a quick calculation in his mind. He took five days off and one day off, and one month off for six days. The remaining twenty-four days were just enough for one round.

"Okay, as my husband said, we will take five days off and one day off. Please don't disturb your husband."

Chatting with women and playing with children.

Willow head on the moon.

It was still early, but Fan Xuanfu couldn't wait any longer, "It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest early."

He took Huaiyu and went back to his own yard, asking not to be disturbed. The three sons were also arranged for nannies, wet nurses, and maids to take care of them respectively.

Huaiyu came into the room and wanted to chat.

But she had already pushed Huaiyu down directly, "Ms. sir, don't miss the opportunity of spring..."

The couple had been separated for a year and a half, and she didn't want to say anything more. She just wanted to make up for the lost time.

The thunder from the sky stirs up the fire on the earth, and the dry wood meets the raging fire.

Wu Huaiyu was defeated in one round, but Fan Xuanfu took advantage of the victory and attacked fiercely twice. Wu Huaiyu had to surrender.

Fan Xuanfu turns on the powerful automatic mode and is invincible.

"How long will you stay in Chang'an this time? Can you not leave?"

"Things in Lingnan haven't been settled yet. I can probably stay here for a few months."

Huaiyu, who had been hollowed out, was lying there, and Fan Xuanfu was still clinging to his arms. She couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed when she heard that her husband would not stay for long when he came back this time.

"No, doesn't that mean that I can only serve him for one night when my husband returns to Beijing this time?"

Fan Xuanfu got on his horse again,
  "Ms. sir, come again."

······
  The next day, Huaiyu got up late and didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

Fan Xuanfu knew that he was tired, so he didn't wake him up in the morning, and he didn't let his maids disturb him and let him sleep until very late.

When he walked out the door, he found Fan Xuanfu waiting for him in the corridor outside, quietly sewing clothes.

"Wake up, I'll bring you breakfast."

Huaiyu was eating breakfast, and she sat beside him to accompany him.

After such crazy tossing last night, she still woke up so early, but she was in great spirits, and her skin even felt moist.

"Ms. sir, tell me if I will get pregnant. I really want a daughter."

Huaiyu looked at her longing face. She was so beautiful. She gave birth to three children in six years. Her figure was much plumper than before, but it was even more attractive like a ripe peach.
  "When I meet the saint, I will ask the saint to take you with me when I return to Lingnan."

"Okay." Fan Xuanfu didn't hesitate at all.

Although Chang'an has such a big business, she really doesn't want to be separated again.

Today's millet porridge is very thick, and the millet from Sanyuan's hometown is also of good quality. It is paired with two tea eggs, a few pieces of steamed pork ribs, and a small cage of shrimp dumplings. It is really nutritious and delicious.

It was so hard last night, with repeated defeats and defeats,
  After a late sleep and a nutritious breakfast, I feel full of energy again.

Stretch out,

Wu Huaiyu didn't go anywhere.

The mission back to Chang'an this time is very heavy, but today I want to take half a day off.
  Holding my wife's hand, the couple takes a walk in the morning light,
  While walking and chatting, each of them talked about what happened after they parted. Fan Xuanfu talked about the situation at home, the naughty and lovely children, and the infighting among the concubines. Wu Huaiyu talked about what he had seen in Lingnan and the property he bought in Lingnan. wait.

The breeze blows on my face,

The weather is just right,

Huaiyu didn't talk about the East Palace or the danger the Wu family was facing now, and Fan Xuanfu didn't ask or mention it.

It’s rare to find such good times and good atmosphere,
  But this rare atmosphere was still broken.

The emperor knew that Wu Huaiyu had returned to Chang'an and sent his chamberlain to summon him to the palace.

"The saint asked the Duke of Jin to bring the medical equipment and medicine box, and he will help the queen to see a doctor later." The chamberlain said.

Huaiyu reluctantly said goodbye to his wife, went to get the medicine box and followed the chambermaid into the palace.

All the way to the Tai Chi Palace, we went straight to the Li Zheng Palace.
  In the queen's bedroom, Wu Huaiyu saw the emperor Li Shimin and the crown prince Cheng Qian. They were guarding the queen's bed, both with worried faces.

Empress Changsun was lying there, looking haggard, very haggard, and very ill.

"His Majesty,"

Huaiyu came in and just opened his mouth to salute, but Chengqian already showed a look of surprise and ran towards him quickly, holding his hand, "Teacher, you are finally here, hurry up, help your mother to diagnose, treat and prescribe prescriptions."

"Mother, the teacher is here. The queen's illness will be cured soon."

Huaiyu was led by Cheng Qian, but his eyes were secretly observing the emperor's expression.
  The emperor and the prince seemed to get along well.
  He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he approached the queen's bed and saw the queen's appearance, his heart became a little tighter. The queen was really ill.
