Chapter 22

Concubine De's family background is not obvious. Although she is beautiful, there are so many beautiful women in the harem, and her appearance is not the only one in the harem.

It's just that the emperor is a nostalgic person, so Concubine De wins because she followed Emperor Jingyuan when he was still in the East Palace. Speaking of which, she can be regarded as someone who has endured hardships with the emperor.

Therefore, even though she gave birth to a prince later than Ning Zhaoyi, and her family background was not as prominent as that of Ping Zhaoyi, she was still named one of the four ladies.

But perhaps it was God's will that Concubine De was not very smart, but Yan Xuanche was the most outstanding among the many princes of Emperor Jingyuan. Emperor Jingyuan even once said with a smile in front of the ministers, "This son is like me, and he will soon be born again." He was the first among the princes to be crowned king.

Therefore, Yan Xuanche's ambition is naturally not limited to being a wealthy and leisurely king.

It's just that his mother clan can't provide him with help, and it often holds him back.

Just like this, the people in the court were already alert when the changes were made in the Ministry of Household Affairs.Even those who were slow to react should have understood what the emperor meant when the imperial envoy went to Jiangnan.

His uncle actually dared to accept so much money from the Jiang family at the cusp of such a storm. Yan Xuanche didn't know whether to say whether his uncle was brave or too stupid.

Originally, Emperor Jingyuan handled the matter in a low-key manner. His uncle's official position was not an important one anyway. It was just to protect the face of Concubine De and the prince.

Besides, even after being demoted to the common people, he still had the fourth wife's biological sister and the prince's nephew. Although they had no power, they would not starve to death even if they thought about it.

It would have been the best outcome to have been able to escape from this matter with my life saved.

But since his uncle was dismissed from office, he has been doing nothing at home all day, and he didn't know who he was talking about, saying that Emperor Jingyuan treated Yan Xuanche differently, and if he had to speak, the emperor would be able to show mercy to him. He was allowed to resume his official post.

But Yan Xuanche's uncle was also a little afraid of his nephew, so he asked someone to bring a letter to his sister in the palace, asking him to intercede with his nephew.

Concubine De is a person who knows nothing about political affairs. She only heard from her younger brother that if he could be reinstated, it would be a help to Yan Xuanche in the court.After all, he is the uncle of the fourth prince, can he still help outsiders?
Concubine De also thought about it. Wouldn't it be better if her son had someone of his own in the court?He hurriedly summoned Yan Xuanche into the palace and told him about the matter.

Yan Xuanche sneered and said to Concubine De: "Why don't I simply ask my father to grant me a fiefdom, take my uncle to the fiefdom, and make him a servant of the prince? Isn't it better than him being a secretary in the capital?"

His uncle was probably just a fifth-rank official before he was dismissed from office. If he was expected to make a difference in the court, Yan Xuanche might as well become a wealthy and idle king now.

Although Concubine De was not very smart and had a narrow vision, she also knew that her son was a person who could do great things. Seeing that her son had said so, she immediately left her brother behind.

After finishing the matters in the palace, Yan Xuanche was about to return home, but he was still a little upset in his heart.Seeing that it was not too late, he went to the restaurant without anyone following him.

As a result, I happened to meet Xiao Yunyue who had bid farewell to Yuan Lingheng in advance in the restaurant.He recognized at a glance that this was the person he had just seen in the palace today. He was the official of Runzhou Prefecture and joined the army.

Hearing Xiao Yunyue call him Ziyu, Yan Xuanche still had some impression of this word. He seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it at the moment.

However, he had never seen Xiao Yunyue being so affectionate to anyone, and felt a little strange, so he took the matter to heart and thought about checking Yuan Lingheng's identity.

However, Yuan Lingheng was worried about something these days and didn't want to come to the appointment.

But seeing the magnanimous look of Xiao Yunyue who came to invite her, and recalling the magnanimous attitude of my sister when she mentioned Xiao Yunyue, I felt that I was being careless.He had very few friends in Beijing, and Xiao Yunyue was one of them, so he finally went.When Yuan Miaoyi saw off Yuan Lingheng the next day, Yuan Lingheng, who had been struggling for several days and thought about it all night, finally figured it out.

He touched the top of Yuan Miaoyi's hair and said in the face of his sister's puzzled eyes: "Jiaojiao, I may not be able to rush back to Shengjing when you get your haircut. Fortunately, my uncle will return to Beijing soon."

Yuan Lingheng's expression was a little tangled, but he finally said: "If I come to Japan to propose marriage to you, and you already have someone you like, you might as well write to me. No matter who it is, my brother will find a way for you. .”

Yuan Miaoyi didn't know why her brother suddenly mentioned her marriage, but she, who was always smart, didn't guess what her brother was thinking at this time, so her eyes were a little confused.

But what Yuan Lingheng thought was that as long as he had enough say in the court in the future, he might be able to figure out who his sister liked.

So in Yuan Miaoyi's slightly confused eyes, Yuan Lingheng went to Runzhou with great ambition.

Yuan Miaoyi thought hard in her room all afternoon, but because she never thought that her brother would worry about her love for Xiao Yunyue, she could only attribute it to her brother's concern for her.

In the west courtyard, Liu Shutang, who had not come out to see Yuan Lingheng off, had just learned a piece of news that struck her like a bolt from the blue.

"What did you say?" Liu Shutang looked at the old man in front of him steadily and said, "You said that the Marquis has no fertility? The Marquis has just passed his forties at this time."

The old man in front of him wiped the sweat from his temples and said with some trembling: "Yes, although I haven't felt my pulse, but just by looking at his face and what his wife said, I can tell that the Marquis has a sallow complexion, palpitations, shortness of breath, and nightmares and night sweats. This, exactly It is a symptom of liver stagnation and kidney deficiency. I am afraid that even if you take good care of yourself, although the symptoms can be improved, there will be no hope for heirs."

Liu Shutang closed his eyes. No wonder, although Yuan Fuwei had many confidantes in recent years, no one in the backyard was pregnant again.

However, there were Yuan Lingheng and Yuan Miaoyi before her, and then she gave birth to Rong'er. Although she knew that the offspring would be in some difficulty due to Yuan Fuwei's lack of restraint, she never thought that it might be hopeless again.

The doctor in front of her has always been like this. She has not been pregnant for many years. She went through all kinds of troubles to find out about this person and spent a lot of money to bring him out of Sichuan. She originally expected him to secretly nurse her so that she could be pregnant again. Pregnant again.

But she didn't expect to hear such bad news from him, Ruo Ruo had only one girl on her knees.Based on the grudge between her and Dongyuan, she will wait until Yuan Lingheng takes over the throne and lets her "rest" quietly in the backyard.

As for Rong'er, she probably just randomly married into a middle-class family, right?

Then all her years of planning, suffering and humiliation would be in vain.

Bi Tao saw that although Liu Shutang's face was calm, but the veins on his forehead had sprouted, she called out with some worry: "Madam."

Liu Shutang took a deep breath and asked Bitao to bring the purse she had prepared, which contained the banknotes.

After giving the doctor the order, Liu Shutang said coldly: "I don't want any news about what happened today to leak out. Do you understand the consequences?"

The man took the purse and pretended to look at the denomination casually. Seeing that the amount was quite large, he said repeatedly: "Of course, I will keep my mouth shut and will never reveal a word."

"Go."

 Thank you Xie Jiangli for the reward, thank you baby
