Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 549: 3 years (3)
In the past three years, Emperor Yongjia has stepped into the Jiaofang Palace only a handful of times. Occasionally I have something to discuss with Queen Qiao, and I never stay overnight. Meals are rarely eaten together.
The relationship between husband and wife is extremely weak. However, Queen Qiao didn't care anymore. She eats and sleeps every day, and takes Li Wan with her when she has free time. Her complexion is even better than before.
Princess Hui'an joked half-jokingly: "Since Brother Zhuang was born, even Brother Zhuang and Sister Xuan have fallen out of favor. Not to mention grandchildren."
Queen Qiao glared at Princess Hui'an with a smile: "Brother Qian is the youngest, what's wrong with Ben Gong's partial pain? The three of them are all grown up and study in the study every day. I want to love them, but I have to wait. It's only when they have time to rest."
While speaking, he put down Li Wan in his arms and waved at the three older children: "Brother Jue, Sister Xuan, and Brother Li, all come to the imperial grandmother."
Three seven-year-old children, together with a "I've grown up, how can I be like Li Yun".
Queen Qiao was amused and laughed non-stop: "Forget it, you have grown up day by day, grandmother will not embarrass you anymore. Lunch is ready, let's go eat together!"
The three of them let out a sigh of relief and responded with a smile. When passing by Li Yun, he glanced at him with contempt.
Little brat! Coquetry all day long!
Li Wan's small self-esteem was severely bruised, and she was about to cry. Empress Qiao was distressed, and hurriedly picked up her precious grandson: "The brothers and sisters ignore us, and we also ignore them. Come, come, grandma hugs."
Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of her mouth and sighed to Princess Hui'an, "I've never seen someone more accustomed to children than the queen mother."
Princess Hui'an smiled knowingly: "My mother has such a temper. I am so old, and I still act like a spoiled child at my mother's place from time to time!"
Before Lu Mingyu continued to tease, she responded with a smile: "Don't always say that mothers and queens like children. In my opinion, King Xingyang really likes children."
That's true.
Lu Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled when she thought of her father.
Well, let's not talk about anyone.
With four children, it was a busy lunch.
Queen Qiao's eyes were full of children, and her joy and kindness almost overflowed: "It seems that the birth of Brother Liang was just yesterday. In the blink of an eye, he has grown so much."
Lu Mingyu laughed casually: "Yeah, life flies by so fast. In another year, Brother Liang will be able to study. When the time comes, let him go to the study room to study and practice martial arts, and I can also be happy in front of my eyes. Be quiet."
Queen Qiao glanced at Lu Mingyu with a look of anticipation: "After a year or two, Brother Cong will grow up, so it's good to have another one."
Lu Mingyu: "..."
Queen Qiao's eager eyes were too fiery, and it was impossible for Lu Mingyu to pretend to turn a blind eye. She casually said: "His Royal Highness has been busy on errands, our husband and wife gather less often and leave more. We will talk about it when His Highness returns."
In the past three years, Li Jing has spent less than half a year in the capital. For most of the time, he was running around in Dawei.
The Great Wei Dynasty has a vast territory, and the number of large and small counties is unknown. There is no time for bandits to live in chaos, droughts, floods, wealthy clans to merge land, and corrupt officials to kill people, and so on.
Not only Li Jing, but also Li Hao, the third prince, often travels to Beijing on business. The Fourth Prince has also received two errands.
Only the fifth prince has been messing around in the Ministry of Industry and has never done anything wrong. The eldest prince was inconvenient to leave Beijing because of his leg disease.
After the Chinese New Year, Li Jing left the capital on an errand. It's been more than a month since I left, and I don't know when I'll be back.
Queen Qiao was refreshed: "When the prince returns to Beijing this time, this palace will go and tell the emperor to let the prince stay in the capital for a longer time. It will not be too late to leave Beijing when you are pregnant."
It is impossible to avoid it.
Lu Mingyu greeted Queen Qiao's gaze with a smile: "I know that the mother and queen like children. However, I have already given birth to two sons and a daughter, and I will raise them well in the future. I don't plan to have any more children."
After hearing this, Queen Qiao's face flashed a trace of disappointment, and she still wanted to convince Lu Mingyu: "The more children are more blessed, the more children are also lively, right? If you are too tired to bring children, and give birth to children in the future, Bring it directly to the Jiaofang Palace."
Queen Qiao likes children the most. Princess Hui'an has never given birth to children, and she loves children very much. She smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm not so lucky. If I can give birth, I have to give birth to five or six at a time. ."
Lu Mingyu is very assertive, so naturally she won't convince her with these frivolous words, smiling without saying a word.
This also means that the topic can end here.
For several years, Queen Qiao knew Lu Mingyu's temper. Now it looks a lot more gentle, and the domineering and fierce in his bones has always been there.
Forget it, even if you don't have children, there will be many children.
Queen Qiao comforted herself in her heart, turned her head and smiled at Princess Hui'an: "You only have one brother under your knees, so why not raise another daughter. One son and one daughter, make up a good word."
Princess Hui'an deserves to be the mother and daughter of Queen Qiao, and she has long thought of going together: "I have this plan after I tell my mother. Li Geer grows up day by day, and I go to the palace to study every day, and I am also a little lonely. ~IndoMTL.com~ It's good to have another daughter. However, there is no suitable young family in the Wu family's nearest branch, so I will find one from the side branch. It is best to carry it when she is born."
Queen Qiao nodded repeatedly.
These days, everyone is happy to have more children. More sons and more blessings is not a lie.
The Wu family is an aristocratic family with a large number of side branches. As soon as Princess Hui'an let out the wind, I don't know how many clansmen wanted to cling to it. Not to mention sending a newborn baby girl, even the children and grandchildren are willing to send it.
"Reporting to the Empress," Cai Lan came to report with a smile: "Miss Jieyu led the little princess to greet the Empress."
Queen Qiao smiled: "Let their mother and daughter come in!"
……
A moment later, Wang Jieyu led the little princess in.
The little princess has inherited Wang Jieyu's good looks, she is fair and delicate, with two pear eddies in her smile, which is both sweet and cute.
The little princess is young, but she is a generation older. Brother Jue's four had to bow first and called out little aunt.
"You are all exempt from courtesy." The little princess's voice was sweet and tender, with the tone of an elder, which made everyone laugh.
Children gather to play together.
Wang Jieyu saluted and sat down with a smile.
Wang Jieyu is 24 years old this year, when a woman is at her most mature and charming. Apply thin powder, lightly sweep Emei, and look beautiful.
The year before last, Queen Qiao ordered the emperor to choose a concubine for the emperor. Officials of the fifth rank and above chose their daughters to enter the palace to be elected. Emperor Yongjia was not polite and chose five young ladies to fill the harem. The one with the lowest rank was sealed as a beauty, and the one with the highest rank was sealed as a concubine.
With new people in the harem, Emperor Yongjia went to Fanghua Palace much less often.
