General Meng frowned after hearing his wife's words, and said with an unhappy expression:

“Madam, Ripple has been gone for so long, why are you still trying to get into trouble?

The current Ripple is a substitute who was found under forced circumstances after our daughter died in order to prevent the family from being condemned. She also has parents, and she is also a daughter carefully cultivated by others. "

"So what? She didn't enter the palace with the identity of my daughter. If she didn't have the identity of my daughter, who would know who she is!"

Mrs. Meng has already started to mess around.

General Meng didn't want to have any more entanglements with his old wife, so he said to his second son:

"Tell your mother how the Queen ascended to the throne!"

Meng Guang sighed deeply. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that if his sister really entered the palace, she would have turned into a pile of bones by now.

"When the new queen came to the throne, she was still injured. In order to protect the three princes, she was almost killed by the rebels."

"It's not like she's protecting the blood of my Meng family."

Mrs. Meng gritted her teeth and continued to argue.

"Yes, what she protects is not the blood of my Meng family, but the royal blood. You can't deny this. Do you think our frail daughter can survive if she encounters a uterine change?"

General Meng asked rhetorically.

"Can"

"Madam, since you already know the whole story, go and rest first. I want to ask Shen'er some details."

General Meng didn't want to argue with his wife about this issue anymore, so as not to hurt the relationship between the couple, so he asked his wife to leave first.

Mrs. Meng knew that her husband was angry, so she left angrily without saying anything.

General Meng and his second son stayed in the study for half the night. No one knew what they said specifically, but since that day, the elite men of the Meng family army have increased their training.

Lianyi, who was far away in the palace, didn't know yet that the three carts of gifts he had sent back to the border had made Mrs. Meng so dissatisfied that she even resented Lianyi for taking over her daughter's identity. If she knew about it, she would definitely be speechless.

As the New Year approaches, the dreary atmosphere in the palace slightly improves. Although the old emperor has just left and cannot make grand arrangements or feast the officials, but if there is a new atmosphere in the New Year, a family banquet in the palace can be held.

Lianyi had long ago ordered Grandma Sun to prepare a table of delicious food and set it up in the middle palace. She also informed the new emperor early in the morning.

After the new emperor sealed the pen, he brought Quanfu to Fengqi Palace.

"Welcome the Emperor!"

Lianyi was dressed very grandly today, a red palace dress that belonged exclusively to the queen. She took three nuns holding children and a group of palace maids and eunuchs to greet the emperor at the door.

"The Queen has not recovered yet, so why did she come out to greet me in person? Get up!"

The emperor may be in a particularly good mood because he doesn't have to go to court tomorrow, and seeing Ripple's grand preparations, his attitude towards Ripple has become a little better.

"I know that the emperor has worked hard and it is not possible to celebrate in the palace this year, so I have prepared some home-cooked dishes and drinks. It would be good for our family to get together for a New Year's Eve dinner."

Lianyi stood up following the other person's supporting hand and said with a gentle smile.

"My queen is very considerate."

The new emperor entered Fengqi Palace side by side with Lianyi. After looking at the three children one by one, he and Lianyi sat down.

Lianyi picked up a few interesting stories about the children and told them a few, making the emperor laugh and relax, and then turned to the focus of today. "Your Majesty, I checked my pulse with the imperial doctor yesterday. The doctor said that my body has almost recovered, but this time I have injured my roots. I am afraid that I will not be able to bear children for Your Majesty in the future."

Ripple said sadly.

"Queen, you have given birth to three children for me. You have worked hard and achieved great results. I am very satisfied."

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he immediately patted Lian Yi's hand and comforted him.

"I know that Your Majesty will not dislike me, but I still feel that this harem is a bit cold."

Lianyi personally poured a glass of wine for the emperor and then said.

"Lianyi, please bear with it this year. When the filial piety period is over next year, you can find some juggling and singing troupes to enter the palace to relieve your boredom."

The emperor pretended that he had misunderstood, but still patiently comforted Lianyi.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood my concubine."

"Oh? What is my queen's plan? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, I'm thinking about the draft next summer so that I can fill up your majesty's harem, have more sisters to serve your majesty, and also expand my business for the royal family."

Lianyi said with a smile.

After hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Did someone say something in your ear?"

"Your Majesty, do you need anyone to say anything else?"

Lianyi shook her head helplessly, and then continued:

"I don't have to listen carefully, I can guess what they said about me. It's just that I have meritorious service in saving the royal heirs, and I am His Majesty's first wife, so I dominate the harem and cannot tolerate other women in my eyes."

"That's all nonsense from thoughtful people, you don't need to pay attention to it."

The emperor drank the wine in the glass and waved his hand directly.

"Your Majesty knows your concubine's temperament best, but people's opinions only make money worth it, and only their bones are destroyed!

Moreover, I am not a jealous person, so today I took advantage of the family banquet to boldly bring up the matter of replenishing the harem. This is my duty as a queen. "

Seeing the sincerity of Lianyi's words, the emperor did not continue to veto the matter. In fact, some courtiers had proposed filling the harem before, but he rejected it on the grounds of mourning.

After his father and mother left, he was busy looking for a woman. This was too ugly to say, so he decided to postpone the matter. However, after the funeral in spring, this matter should really be put on the agenda.

Now that the queen could take the initiative, it allowed him to take the initiative.

And Lianyi's proposal to fill the emperor's harem didn't have any good intentions. After all, the word "sex" was a knife in the head, and the gentle land of women was not easy to enter. As for spreading branches, it was even more impossible. She didn't want to have it. The child competes with his own son for the throne.

Because of Lianyi's suggestion, the emperor and empress had a harmonious family dinner, and both parties were in a good mood. The emperor stayed at Fengqi Palace that night, letting everyone in the palace know that although the empress was the mother of three children, But it is still popular.

The emperor slept on the ground for one night as usual, and was moved to bed the next day. He was gently awakened by Ripple. After dressing up, he went to see the ministers who came to the palace to congratulate him. As the queen of the middle palace, Ripple also had to be visited by his wife. .

With Lanzhi waiting on her, Lianyi put on the imperial robe of the Queen of the Middle Palace and received an audience from her concubines in Fengqi Palace. Of course, amid the compliments of the concubines, she also secretly revealed the news about next summer's draft.

After all, the emperor's draft must be announced, and women of suitable age are not allowed to marry at will before the end of the draft. Of course, those who have been engaged or married before the royal draft is issued will automatically be excluded from the draft.

Lianyi spread the news to sell the official family in the imperial city a good deal. Not all daughters of official families want to enter the palace to make a career. Those who cherish their daughters still hope that their daughters will marry into ordinary families and become their wives.
