home in the end

Chapter 264 Freshmen
For three days in a row, Mrs. Tai and Liang Yimei set out to enter the palace before dawn to worship the crying spirit, while Hou Yunping never came out since entering the palace, but sent a young eunuch out to report safety.

Mrs. Tai is old after all, and she has lived a comfortable life these years. Liang Yimei is tired enough to take care of her with a big belly.

Liang Yimei just knelt down on the futon today. Mrs. Fu Guogong quietly moved to her side when she saw that her expression was not right, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you tell your mother, you Go to the side hall first to rest."

Liang Yimei took a peek at the eunuch above, and shook her head slightly. The crown prince is on the throne, and the Hou family is already eye-catching as the prince's natal family. At this time, even Mrs. Tai gritted her teeth and said, "It will be fine after today!"

Mrs. Fu Guogong also understood her scruples, so she didn't mention it anymore, but just paid attention to her from the sidelines, and Liang Yimei was moved.

At the sound of noon, Liang Yimei helped Mrs. Tai, and an inconspicuous eunuch led them to the side hall, brought out a bowl of hot soup, and said in a low voice: "This is what the empress ordered. Mrs. Tai and Mrs. are inconvenient. Drink Warm yourself up with some hot soup!"

"Thank you, father-in-law," Tai Furen said reservedly: "I just observed the funeral for the late emperor, I dare not violate the rules!"

The father-in-law had a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Liang Yimei hurriedly stepped forward to take it, "Thank you for your kindness, we accept this kindness, father-in-law, please go back and return." She said and stuffed a purse to him.

The father-in-law dared not accept it.

Liang Yimei said with a smile: "It's a cold day, and we let my father-in-law go for a trip, and we feel sorry for it."

When the father-in-law picked up and left, Liang Yimei poured the hot soup into the spittoon at the side. How could the food in the palace be so delicious?Even if the queen has no other thoughts, it doesn't mean that the soup didn't pass through someone else's hands.

Mrs. Tai nodded secretly, sat down on the chair, and said to Liang Yimei: "You also have a seat, there is another show in the afternoon."

Liang Yimei also felt that her stomach was heavy and uncomfortable, so she pleaded guilty and sat down on the chair.

Liang Yimei breathed a sigh of relief when she left the palace in the afternoon. She helped Mrs. Tai get into the carriage and went back. Xu Runxin and Mrs. Dong greeted them at the door.

When Xu Runxin saw Mrs. Tai, he hurried forward to support her, "I'll have someone prepare hot water for you, get a good night's sleep first, and then I'll get someone to prepare something delicious for you later."

Mrs. Tai missed her four grandchildren and asked them.

Xu Runxin said with some embarrassment: "...I cried a lot before, and I coaxed them to play in the greenhouse. Now they are having fun. If you want to see them, I will ask someone to bring them here."

Mrs. Tai's heart tightened at first, then she relaxed, and said with a smile: "Let them play."

Liang Yimei's face changed slightly when she got off the carriage, and A Tao was the first to notice something was wrong, and shouted: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Tai heard the sound and looked back.

Liang Yimei's voice was a little trembling, she took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "I, I seem to be giving birth!"

Xu Runxin opened his mouth wide, but Mrs. Tai reacted first and ordered Liang Yimei to be sent back to the main room.

The delivery room is still the same place. Although it is ready, it is not completely ready.

Fortunately, Liang Yimei is the third child. Both Liang Yimei and the people in the house have experience, and they are still preparing in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Tai sent someone to the palace to call Hou Yunping back, "It's been so many days, there is a big thing in the palace, the master is over, let him come back immediately, his wife is going to have a baby, how can he not be around?"

Mrs. Tai didn't like the first emperor in the first place, the tiredness of the past few days, coupled with Liang Yimei's premature delivery, finally made her express her dissatisfaction on the surface.

Mother Rui comforted Mrs. Tai, "...Madam is the third child, it will be fine."

"What do you know? Seven lives and eight don't live, if she is okay in the seventh month, but this is the eighth month... There will be no peace if she dies!"

Mrs. Tai said bitterly.

Sister Rui immediately lowered her head, not daring to answer!
The replacement of the emperor, the funeral affairs of the previous emperor, the arrangements for the whereabouts of the concubines in the harem, the preparations for the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the distribution of officials, these are all things on the surface, but there are more things to deal with in the dark, as the "retirement and return home" "The important minister Hou Yunping, he doesn't need other people to be idle, even Li Xuanran, who has never held any position in the court, was invited into the palace by the new emperor, and he hasn't stepped out of the palace these days.

So it is still very eye-catching for the chief steward of the Changping Hou Mansion to come to the palace. Everyone saw that the steward said a few words in Lord Hou's ear, and Lord Hou's face changed drastically, and he dropped everything he was doing and left. .

Hou Yunping really wanted to fly back, but he knew it was impossible, his rationality forced him to turn a corner to find the soon-to-be crown prince, and he hurried back after getting the prince's permission.

Seeing Hou Yunping's disappearance, the prince's aides felt a little dissatisfied, "The emperor's state affairs were sidelined for a private matter, and there is no royal family in sight!"

There was a flash of displeasure in the prince's eyes, and he glanced at the staff member lightly, who shuddered and lowered his head not daring to look at each other.

The prince snorted coldly, "Don't let me hear these words from now on!" He said and walked back.

The staff member's face flushed red, and he called out anxiously: "Teacher?"

"You, you still don't have a brain. Changpinghou is the best!" Seeing his doubts, Han Taifu stroked his beard and said, "Changpinghou put aside state affairs for the sake of his wife and children, which shows that he values ​​affection. He put his beloved wife and young son aside for the sake of state affairs, which shows that he has ambitions, and he can come to ask His Highness for instructions when he is in a hurry, why do you think?"

The staff were dumbfounded.

Taifu Han said with emotion: "If Marquis Changping is really like what he shows, it will be the luck of the country, the luck of His Highness, and the luck of the people!"

Hou Yunping hurried back and told him to just step into the courtyard of the main house. When Mrs. Tai saw him, she hurriedly pulled him over, and she didn't care to blame him, so she asked him to talk to Liang Yimei, but before he could speak, a voice came from inside the cry of a child.

The adults were taken aback for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.

Mrs. Tai said happily: "How is the mother and child? Hurry up and take the child out and let me see, no, no, no, no, it's cold now, so I'll go in." Although it is not the first grandson, Mrs. Tai is still very happy to see the newborn child.

A Tao opened the curtain from the inside, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mrs. Tai, congratulations to Lord Hou, mother and child are safe, Mrs. Wen is washing the fifth young master's body!"

Hou Yunping was relieved to hear that the mother and child were safe.

……

On the eighth day of February, the new emperor ascends the throne!Kai Enke!

Hou Yunping sat by the small bed, took the bell and shook Mo Geer, who giggled and stretched out his hand to grab it!

"Mother said to invite a few family friends to have a meal on the hundredth day. Brother Mo is worse than the four elder brothers in this regard. When he is one year old, the national filial piety will pass, and we will have a good one then."

"What's the matter, as long as we love him, I thought that when I was one year old, I would be like brother Zhuoer and the others. The child is too young, and I'm afraid it's unbearable to have a birthday."

When the child was full moon, the late emperor had not been buried yet, and the Hou family didn't dare to make arrangements, so they only invited the Liang family and the Li family, but the door was blocked by people queuing up to give presents outside. When Liang Yimei saw her, she even refused to hold a hundred-day banquet up.

Liang Yimei hugged Mo Geer to nurse him, pushed Hou Yunping and said: "You go out first!"

Hou Yunping glanced at her with a half-smile, and sat still, "Brother Mo can't bear to part with Daddy!"

Liang Yimei glared at him, half lying on the bed to nurse the baby, Hou Yunping touched the baby's tender face, "We will have a daughter when we return to Taiyuan!"

Liang Yimei pouted, "What if it's still my son?"

"Then continue to give birth until a daughter is born."

Liang Yimei was noncommittal.

"How is the arrangement in Taiyuan?"

"I bought a big mountain villa. There are two hot springs on my mountain. I'm thinking of bringing the hot springs to the villa so that my mother and the children can also take bubbles from time to time." Hou Yunping sat behind Liang Yimei, half hugging her and whispered. Said: "When the time comes, I'll go soak with you, okay?"

"Don't make trouble, the child is still eating." Liang Yimei raised her arm and said with some reluctance in her heart: "Then when shall we leave?"

"The emperor has just ascended the throne, and there are still many things to do. One year at the latest, and then our family will move there." Hou Yunping comforted her: "Taiyuan is only three days away from the capital. If you want to come back, I will accompany you." Come back and have a look, the emperor told me two days ago that he wanted to call Brother Mu back and join the Imperial Forest Army!"

Liang Yimei's eyes widened, "The Royal Army?"

Hou Yunping nodded, "But I declined. The Imperial Forest Army is full of people from aristocratic families. Brother Mu will be controlled by others when he enters. I think it is better to lead the army outside. He also has this ability. Either the North or the Southwest, he chooses." A place to grow."

The Imperial Forest Army is full of people trusted by the royal family, and they are all the sons of those aristocratic families. If a person like Liang Yimu has no foundation to enter, even with Hou Yunping's help, it will be difficult to get out. What's more, there are so many talents inside, Liang Yimu may not win Over others.

"I have to write a letter to ask my elder brother. I remember that my elder brother will return to Beijing to report on his work in May, right? I wonder if he will bring his sister-in-law and nephew back. I haven't seen him yet."

Shen Qiniang gave birth to a son in the twelfth lunar month, who was a few days older than Mo Ge'er.

Hou Yunping talked about Hui Yuan, "...the master has traveled to nowhere? The emperor has sent many people but there is no news of him. He is the highest-ranking person in the royal family. If he is in the capital, it will be more convenient for the emperor to do things. "

Liang Yimei recalled what Hui Yuan said about Brother Chen, and felt a little depressed, "He is not a man in the world of mortals, and his traces are elusive. If you can't find him, don't look for him."

Hou Yunping knew that his wife had a good relationship with Master Huiyuan, so he didn't care about his wife's depression.

In March, it is the time when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and Mogeer has a hundred days. At the same time, many students have accumulated in the capital, preparing for the autumn autumn and the next year's spring!

The new emperor restored the original taxation, although it has not been reduced, but it is much lower than the original taxation. The people are happy, the students are happy, and the soldiers who did not fight last winter are also happy, so the whole country is thriving. !
Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, the new emperor promulgated several new policies in a row. Hou Yunping went to the court every day with a dark face, except for some one-liners, no one came out to object!
　It will be over in a few days!
