Harem strategy

Chapter 72
Li Jialuo had confinement for a month, and after the third prince Xiao Luo's full moon banquet, the imperial decree conferred Wu Zhengdao as Duke of the county.

The Wu family was overjoyed, and Wu Zhengdao felt relieved, waiting for the official department to handle his errands.

You know, his daughter is favored in the harem, and he also has a prince's grandson, so the errands are definitely first-class, and maybe he can be promoted to a third rank.

It's just that since he was canonized as the Duke of the county, there has been no news of this errand.

I went to the Ministry of Officials to ask, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials met him, but he just told him that there are no vacancies at present, so he can only wait.

Then the Minister of the Ministry of Officials had a heart-to-heart talk with him, "Brother Zhengdao, now you are also a foreign relative, and the title of county duke is well-deserved. Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."

After Wu Zhengdao went back, he felt that something was wrong. What does that mean?

Not in a hurry, not in a hurry, which means that he has no errands of his own, and he also mentioned the title of Duke of the county, and then he mentioned his relatives.

Doesn't this mean that he doesn't have any errands?Just be your relatives and the Duke of the county, don't think about anything else!

How can this work?A county magistrate without real power sounds nice, but it's useless.

There is an errand that is really lacking, and with the status of a relative, isn't it like a fish in water?
Wu Zhengdao felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden, did the emperor want to leave all these relatives idle?

But Empress Zhao's father, as well as members of the Wang family, are all in high positions, so why doesn't he have any errands?
Even if it's nothing else, you have to think about the third prince. If you don't have a strong foreign family, how can you be better in the future?

Could it be that the emperor had no plan to make the third prince the crown prince at all, so he didn't think about giving himself a real shortage?
When he realized this, Wu Zhengdao was still very disappointed.

In the past, the eldest daughter did not give birth to a prince, so he only hoped that his eldest daughter would be favored in the palace, and after being favored, he hoped that she would give birth to a prince.

Once it is not realized, the loss in his heart can be imagined, and he really can't tell others these words, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has not said clearly that he will not be given an errand.All this is his conjecture.

He was admitted to Jinshi after ten years of hard work, and Wu Zhengdao was very unwilling to cut off his official career just like that.

I also wondered if I could find a way out.Anyway, his current status is very good.

It's just that others agreed to help him take a look, but in the end they all ended up without a problem.

This made Wu Zhengdao very depressed. Seeing that his wife could enter the palace now, he told Yun about his errand, and asked her to talk to Concubine Hui, not for anything else, but also for the sake of the third prince, right? ?

With a grandparent with real power, the road will get wider and wider in the future, right?

Li Jialuo accepted the golden book of concubine Hui after the third prince's full moon.From then on, she was the lord of the first palace and lived in the main hall of Changchun Palace.

Because there are three princes and there are not too many concubines in the palace, so she lives alone in Changchun Palace.

After confinement, the emperor came to the Changchun Palace, and the two of them felt a little different than newly married.

The emperor also joked that if she had enough children, no one would be arranged to live in Changchun Palace.

Li Jialuo heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, it is the empress's business to arrange people in the palace, and the emperor is not allowed to intervene."

The emperor smiled and said, "Don't you really want to live in a palace by yourself?"

"Of course I want to!" Li Jialuo said without hesitation: "But if there are too many sisters in the palace to live in, and the concubine still lives in a palace alone, wouldn't it be said to be dead? I don't want to be hated."

"You think I'm the romantic seed, how could there be no room for people? Don't worry, there won't be such a day."

Aifei is jealous, and the emperor also feels proud.

However, in the eyes of the emperor, the most important thing is to extend the descendants.

Concubine Hui's ability to give birth to a healthy prince shows that she is in good health and can protect her child.

She also has a loving mother's heart for her children. In addition, her natal family was from a poor family, and her father didn't have any great skills, which made him feel at ease.Even if there will be trouble in the future, it will not be too big.

Wu Zhengdao is cruel to people who are not as capable as him, but he absolutely dare not speak loudly to people who are higher than him.

Such relatives are reassuring.He didn't mind letting Concubine Hui have more children.

The eldest prince was born to a court lady, and he has been ill since he was born, and he can only be supported by medicinal materials. He is a king of a country, and he really can't like such a son.

And the second prince, who was looking forward to the birth, also became like this because of Concubine Jing's self-assertion of cleverness. The emperor has some sympathy for the second prince, but he can only have a little bit of a loving father.

That's why the healthy third prince made him feel his father's expectations for his son.

With such a prince, I want to have a few more.The emperor is absolutely satisfied with Concubine Hui who can give birth to the third prince.

As for Zhang Guiren's belly, he didn't have much expectations.

However, a few days after Li Jialuo finished confinement, Zhang Guiren also had an attack.

The emperor just listened to the report, and then said "understand", but the person did not pass.

A little nobleman gives birth, and the emperor is still invited to come.

This news was known by Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing's heart became more balanced. At any rate, when she was giving birth, the emperor went there in person, not much better than this nobleman Zhang?
However, Concubine Jing hoped that Guiren Zhang would give birth to a daughter, otherwise wouldn't it be another threat to her son?
Zhang Guiren gave birth to this child for almost a day and a night. On the seventh day of August, a little princess was born.

After Zhang Guiren knew that he had given birth to a little princess, he was filled with disappointment.

She had already said that the queen was tempted, and she was only waiting for her son to be born, maybe she would bring her to Kunning Palace to raise her.

But now that she is giving birth to a daughter, there is no such possibility.

She knew that she was pregnant this time due to good luck, but such luck is really hard to come by again.

There are many beauties in the palace, and their status is not high, and they are usually not favored.As you get older, the chances of getting pregnant in the future are too low.

Therefore, Zhang Guiren's expectations for his own child are definitely very high.She thought to herself, as long as she gave birth to a son, even if the emperor did not come, she would have something to look forward to, but why is it a daughter?

What is the use of a daughter?She will be married in the future, Zhang Guiren feels terribly uncomfortable when she thinks of this, all three of them are almost pregnant, and she is the only one who will give birth to a daughter, and her status is still the lowest.

It can't rise much.If Zhang Guiren hadn't seen the crowds, he really wanted to find a place to cry.

After the third princess was born, the emperor didn't even look at it, and finally saw it during the full moon.

The emperor has no shortage of daughters, and he also has the eldest princess born to the empress, who is the eldest princess, much nobler than the three princesses born to Zhang Gui.

This is another reason why the concubines are not willing to give birth to a princess. After all, no matter who gives birth to a princess, it is impossible to compare with the eldest princess, unless you become a queen yourself.But this kind of thing is just thinking about it in my heart. I didn't see that Concubine Wang Xian also wanted to be a queen, but didn't she even die in the end?

That is still backed by the Queen Mother. Their status and backing are not as good as Wang Xianfei, so they really don't have that fate.

Li Jialuo also went to attend the three baptisms of the three princesses, because the queen was going, and they all had to follow.

In any case, the three princesses are the flesh and blood of the emperor.Even Zhang Guiren has not changed his position until now.

Zhang Guiren knew that the queen was coming, and Concubine An, Concubine Rou, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hui also came.She said sullenly: "What are Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui doing here? They didn't come to see my joke." She was the only one who gave birth to a daughter.

Zhang Guiren's maid felt that Zhang Guiren really thought too much, Concubine Hui and the others are okay to watch a nobleman's joke?It was so funny.

Therefore, it is really important to be assigned a good master. Someone like Zhang Guiren who is ambitious but likes to blame others is really hard to serve.

Empress Zhao didn't ask the emperor about Zhang Guiren's promotion until the third princess was full moon, because not long after the third princess was born, there was another mid-autumn banquet on August [-]th in the palace.Because there are two more princes and one princess in the palace this year, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is particularly grand and lively.

Everyone knows that the emperor is in a good mood.

Empress Zhao herself is very busy, so how can she have the time to ask Mr. Zhang about his promotion?
What's more, if the emperor has the heart, he will naturally be canonized. Now that he hasn't mentioned it, it shows that he doesn't care much.

Although Empress Zhao has the duty to remind the emperor, the promotion of a nobleman's status is not a big deal in itself.

So when the third princess was about to be full moon, Queen Zhao asked the emperor about Zhang Guiren's status.

After hearing this, the emperor seemed to have remembered this matter, and said: "I almost forgot, since Mrs. Zhang gave birth to the third princess, let's canonize her as Concubine Wen."

Concubine Wen has risen from the fifth rank, from the nobleman of the seventh rank, to the fifth rank, which is not bad.It's just a concubine and doesn't need a gold book, so it only needs to be stamped with a gold seal on one of the queen's.In this way, Zhang Guiren became Zhang Wenbin.It was sealed at the full moon banquet of the three princesses.
