The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 33: There are also hard-to-recite sutras in the Hou Mansion (2)

"Grandma, mother doesn't have one, so I, the granddaughter-in-law, should have one, right?" Xie Zhaoyu sat by the kang and held the wife's arm.

"Of course you have it." The lady said kindly, with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Lu Xiang also threw himself into Mrs. Tai's arms, "Grandma, where am I? Where am I?"

"They are all there, they are all there," the Madam said. The maid Linglong came over with a tray, and the Madam distributed the purses one by one to her granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter.

"Sister-in-law, my purse is heavier than yours!" Lu Xiang saw that Xu Ying was not paying attention to him, so he picked it up and showed it to Xie Zhaoyu.

"Yes! You are a little money addict!" Xie Zhaoyu said, tapping Lu Xiang's nose.

Mrs. Tai looked at the family happily. She is over sixty years old. If she has any regrets, it is that she has not met her great-grandchildren yet. Even after being married for several years, I still don’t have a child.

Madam Tai looked at Lu Zhan and Xu Ying again. These two were really enemies, even standing so far apart.

Although it is said that people like them have done a good job, only they themselves know the sadness in it.

Naturally, I had breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year at Mrs. Tai’s place. Mrs. Zhang had a daughter-in-law, so of course she didn’t need to stand around serving dishes. Xie Zhaoyu and Xu Ying served Mrs. Tai. The lady was very reasonable and let them sit down to eat.

After dinner, there was nothing to do, so Zhang made her mother-in-law happy and suggested playing cards.

"Okay! Today I want to win the ancestor's money!" Xie Zhaoyu helped the lady get off the kang.

Linglong is a smart person. As soon as she said she wanted to play cards, she brought in the card table and everything and set it up.

"There are exactly four of us," Zhang said with a smile, "just enough to form a table."

"I don't know how to play, you go ahead and play." Xu Ying stood aside and said.

Xie Zhaoyu pulled her over and said, "If you don't know how to play, I can teach you. Don't be afraid of losing money!"

Xu Ying took out her hand and said, "I really don't know how to play cards. You can play. I want to go back to the house first!"

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and I didn't know what to say for a moment. Xie Zhaoyu motioned to the maid to bring a waist drum stool over, "Then you can sit next to us and play with us!"

Xu Ying shook her head, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Do you want to see a doctor?" Madam Tai asked with concern.

Xu Ying shook her head and Xie Zhaoyu was a little embarrassed.

"Linglong, come on up!" Mrs. Zhang said, Linglong was somewhat decent in front of the Dowager Madam.

Linglong happily agreed, "I'm going to win the money of my ancestor and my wife today!" She said and sat down at the bottom.

"Oops! I haven't even played a round yet, and my ancestors have already tied the cards." Xie Zhaoyu laughed. In order to make her mother-in-law happy, Mrs. Zhang fed the cards to the wife.

"Ancestor is so awesome!" Several maids surrounding him joined in the fun and clapped their hands happily, making the atmosphere lively.

The madam smiled on her face, but she was thinking in her heart that no matter whether Xie Zhaoyu or Xu Ying had a child, everyone would not be so bored if they were laughing and making trouble in this room.

Xu Ying stood outside and heard what was said in the room, and sighed softly. This palace is like an exquisite bird cage, "Mom, you just ask me to be patient. When will this day end?" !”

Thinking of this, two tears were about to fall down.

At the first court meeting after New Year's Day, Lu Tingyuan went to court. The first thing he did was to implore His Majesty to allow the fifth prince Cheng Yun to join the vassal, and not to violate the ancestral system. The second thing is to resign from the position of Governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion.

The entire court was in an uproar.

In the past few years, Emperor Xuanhe has been in a stalemate with his cabinet ministers over the issue of Cheng Yun's request for vassalage. The ministers headed by Wei Dongyang did not know how many concessions they had made. As soon as Emperor Xuanhe saw the concessions, he became furious. He even dismissed several censors from their official positions, but Emperor Xuanhe today is very calm.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies is in charge of the military bases all over the world and has great power.

Lu Tingyuan was actually willing to give in. Wei Dongyang looked at Lu Tingyuan and his expression moved slightly.

Three days later, Lu Tingyuan left the main hall, and the chamberlain beside the emperor came over, "Master Marquis, Your Majesty, please come to the imperial study."

Lu Tingyuan arrived at the imperial study. Emperor Xuanhe had already changed into regular clothes and was sitting behind the imperial desk, holding a booklet in his hand for him to read.

"As soon as you resigned from the position of Grand Governor, Duke Wei asked the cabinet ministers to jointly present a memorial. The candidates for the new Governor were chosen, and it was your dear relative, Rong Guogong. Hmm... Rong Guogong, he is scheming, cunning and cunning. …”

The Wei family was the dominant one, and Lu Tingyuan was a pawn used by Emperor Xuanhe to check and balance Duke Wei.

Lu Tingyuan knew in his heart that the current situation was not caused by Emperor Xuanhe. Even if his son was not allowed to leave and the Lu family was roasted on the fire, the emperor still blamed himself.

In the future, when the prince succeeds to the throne, will it be better to have someone from the Lu family? Now that the world is at peace, only by retiring after success can we be wise and protect ourselves.

"Your Majesty, the border is bitterly cold, and I have been in poor health for the past few years. Now that the border is peaceful, I want to recuperate..."

Emperor Xuanhe waved his hand, "You actually asked Yun'er to become a vassal?"

"Your Majesty, the laws of our ancestors cannot be violated." Lu Tingyuan knelt down.

Emperor Xuanhe remained silent for a long time, then sighed, "I have been dissatisfied with the Crown Prince for a long time..."

"Your Majesty, the prince is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken."

Emperor Xuanhe looked at Lu Tingyuan and said, "The prince has a bad temper, acts recklessly, is greedy for money and lustful, and is unfit to be the king of a country."

"Your Majesty, the prince is still young and his character is undecided. As time goes by..."

"He is already in his twenties, and his character is still undecided?"

"Your Majesty, the prince cannot be deposed, and the court will inevitably be in turmoil...The prince is now fully fledged...I beg your majesty to allow the fifth prince to join the vassal." Lu Tingyuan's head hit the ground heavily.

Emperor Xuanhe sighed, "That's it. After a few months it gets warmer, let Yun'er conquer Huguang. I will give him a good fiefdom. This will be regarded as fulfilling the love between father and son. Get up!"

Emperor Xuanhe looked at Lu Tingyuan. They were both about the same age. Lu Tingyuan was as strong as a dragon and a tiger, and he seemed to be in his twilight years. "My body won't last long. I think about the time when I, you and Ah Chan grew up together. In a blink of an eye, we have grown up together." More than ten years have passed, and you are so lucky..."

Emperor Xuanhe thought of the time when the three of them were of the same age. Achan was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was stunningly beautiful. He, who was still the prince at that time, proposed to marry her, but Achan refused.

A-Chan said that she had a wild temper and did not have the demeanor of a mother to respect the world.

Achan also told her that she still hoped to be together for the rest of her life. Of course he couldn't do this, but Lu Tingyuan did it. The two of them have two sons and two daughters, and their love is as good as ever.

"Your Majesty's blessings are as high as the sky..."

Before Lu Tingyuan finished speaking, Emperor Xuanhe snorted, "You are doing this too. I always think of the days when you were a companion in the palace. You were not like this at that time. Now you are submissive? "
