After the longevity of the Emperor, Qin Hanzhen slowly resumed his previous habit of going to the palace every two days.

She went to the Empress Dowager, often visited Empress Cai and Princess Minshun, and occasionally looked at Concubine Wang and others. Her relationship with the female relatives in the palace seemed to be quite harmonious. She looked at the Empress

The Queen Mother fell in love with Empress Cai more and more, and she also saw that the relationship between Empress Cai and Princess Minshun was getting closer day by day. Even Empress Cai and Concubine Chen seemed to be in harmony with each other.

When the two girls were kept overnight in Chengqian Palace, Princess Minshun would also run to tease her little sister...

The harem was in harmony and could be said to be unprecedentedly pure. Qin Hanzhen was very happy for the royal family, the Empress Dowager, the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, Empress Cai, and Princess Minshun. She told Zhao Mo privately:

"If the palace can continue to be so clean, everyone can feel at ease. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor will also be able to breathe a sigh of relief, right? Such a good situation was something that I never dared to think about before."

Zhao Mo sighed: "I feel a lot more relaxed now in the palace. Others probably feel the same way, right? At least the current Queen is dignified and sensible, and Chen Concubine is also very trouble-free. If the previous Crown Princess was with Chen Liangdi and Chu Liangyuan...

I feel like breaking out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. Let alone whether the palace can be stable, at least the outer court cannot be stable." After all, there is still the Chu family stirring up trouble.

Qin Hanzhen nodded, deeply agreeing in her heart. Although she might feel sorry for Princess Minshun when she said this, she really felt that it was a good thing for everyone that Crown Princess Tang and Chen Liangdi died one after another.

However, Zhao Mo also mentioned a hidden worry: "The reason why the palace is so peaceful now is because there are only one concubine and one concubine in the emperor's harem, and they are all sensible women who know what to do and what to do. But Chen Concubine only gave birth to one princess.

The emperor's knees are still empty. If the empress cannot give birth to an heir as soon as possible and continue the incense for the royal family, I am afraid that the palace will not be pure for long."

Qin Hanzhen also understands this truth. However, Cai Yuanzhen has always been in good health and paid attention to his health. Although the new king is weaker, he can let Chen Concubine give birth to the princess, which means that he is also capable of making Queen Cai pregnant, but he doesn't know

It will only be a boy or a girl by then. The new king is not too old yet, not yet over forty years old. It is too early to start worrying about his heirs now.

Qin Hanzhen temporarily put the matter behind him, and Zhao Mo soon stopped mentioning it. It wasn't that he didn't care about the royal incense, but a letter sent from the fiefdom of Suning County drew his attention.

Moved over.

Zhao Mo's father, Zhao Shuo, now has a new moth. It's already winter, and it's starting to snow lightly in Suning, but he starts to make a fuss about building a garden for himself and making some beautiful things in the garden.

He would use rocks from the lake to form a rockery, and plant various exotic flowers and plants on them. According to the people waiting around him, it seemed that when he was chatting with the Qing guests not long ago, he mentioned a short essay by his ancestors.

, build a garden at home like this, with rockeries, fragrant flowers and herbs, very elegant, and so on...

Zhao Mo was angry and funny. He said to Qin Hanzhen: "I never saw my father being so arty in the past, but now he is more particular about it. The Qing guests trembled and wrote separate letters to apologize to me. They just said it.

I just talked about that article, but I didn't mean to encourage him to do anything. God knows if my father listened to their words and suspected that they were mocking him for not being elegant, so he deliberately made trouble. But the lake stone is worth a lot of money.

There is no way to build a garden in this cold weather. He insists on making trouble at this time. To be honest, he just wants to embarrass me."

Qin Hanzhen said: "If you don't agree to him, what can you do? Can he come to the capital to complain about this kind of thing and say how unfilial you are? Leave him alone. If he makes trouble again, just find someone else.

Who are you to draw a sketch of a garden and let him figure it out on his own? You just want him to make up his own mind on how to build the garden and respect his wishes. It’s not up to you to decide when to start construction after he has finished tinkering with the drawings.

What’s up? Site selection, money, materials, craftsmen, everything can be used as an excuse to delay. It’s not that you don’t agree, you’re just making preparations. It makes no sense for him to complain to anyone!”

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "That's all, I don't have time to play this trick with him. The imperial court just launched a war in Liaodong, and there was another disaster last year. Now the palace also advocates simplicity and frugality. How can I violate the imperial edict and spend huge sums of money?"

What kind of new garden should we build? Although filial piety is very important, the kindness of heaven and earth, king, parents and teachers must always come first. Besides, it is difficult to start construction in this cold weather, and my father said that it is urgent, so he will send someone to go there.

I brought some ready-made lake stones from the palace and placed them in the yard for him to appreciate slowly."

Zhao Mo's palace in Suning also had a garden. He basically had everything that other princes' palaces should have, but he didn't bother to make any elaborate decorations on the beams of the house. Lake stones are popular in gardens nowadays.

Falling waterfalls, flowing streams, and exotic flowers and plants are all found in his garden. But now that he and Qin Hanzhen, his wife, live in the capital, they are not very fond of admiring lake rocks, so they put the lake rocks in the garden of the feudal prince's palace

There seems to be no problem in using it for other purposes.

Although Qin Hanzhen had never been to the Prince's Mansion in Suning, he had seen the drawings and said with a smile: "This is good, it saves a lot of trouble. I remember you asked the caravan people to move those few lake stones from Taihu Lake

It's not very expensive to bring them back there. It's a carriage ride from the palace to Zhuangzi where your father lives. It's only twenty or thirty miles away. Walk more slowly. One or two days will be enough. Let you

Father, please enjoy it carefully! As for the garden in our county prince's palace, just put more flowers, trees and bonsai in the free space to cover the potholes in the ground."

Zhao Mo smiled and nodded, and the couple discussed the matter.

Speaking of Zhao Shuo, Zhao Mo also told Qin Hanzhen: "Aunt Ma may not be able to coax him anymore. He is still somewhat fond of the new and dislikes the old. Although Aunt Ma gave him a son, his fourth brother is also

Cute, but such a small child must not be able to help crying, and it is very troublesome to take care of it. At first, he wanted to take care of the child himself and let the child kiss him, but after a few days, he couldn't bear it anymore and took care of it again.

The child was left to the wet nurse. Aunt Ma felt sorry for the child, so she put more thought into the child, and inevitably neglected him. He was unhappy, so he joked with the girls around him. Now there are two new wives, one

It was transferred by the palace. One is a peasant girl from a nearby village, who was hired to do menial work on the village. There is also another peasant girl, who is also flirting with him right now, and I don’t know when it will turn out to be something good for him."

Qin Hanzhen frowned when he heard this: "Is he crazy? He is not young yet, and he still doesn't pay attention to maintenance. Don't you know that the word "sex" has a knife on his head? My great-uncle died of a woman, and he still

He had to go down this road. Even though there were no beauties waiting around him, he had to be greedy! And those women who got involved with him were just farm girls. Why should the maids of the palace also be so hard to think about? What did he do?

None, it's just to support your father's identity. What's the point of being his concubine?"

Zhao Mo said calmly: "I don't even dare to say it myself. Everyone under my command must be smart and know how to advance and retreat. What's more, the maids in the palace, apart from those hired in the fief, there are also people assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Maybe some of them thought they were young and beautiful, unwilling to live an ordinary life, and had no chance to cling to me. Seeing that my father was also a noble man, and seemed to be living a very wealthy and respectable life, they thought he was a high branch and rushed to climb up.

No. I can't control many of them. Anyway, if they live in peace, I will respect them as concubines and ensure that they have enough food and clothing. If they live in peace, someone will naturally deal with it."

Qin Hanzhen said: "This matter seems to be within the scope of my responsibilities. If you are impatient to take care of it, just tell me and I will take care of it for you."

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "Why bother asking you to bother? My father made such a joke, I'm a little embarrassed to mention it in front of you."

When he said this, Qin Hanzhen naturally stopped talking and left Zhao Mo to deal with the "family scandal". However, the time seemed to be right now, and she did not forget to hit Zhao Mo: "Why do men always like three wives?"

Fourth concubine? Is it really that satisfying to have many young and beautiful women around you? Your father previously ignored Lan Xue's life and death for Aunt Ma, and even ignored Brother Qi. Now he has left Aunt Ma to the side.

On the other hand, what’s the psychology behind finding a new love?”

Zhao Mo blinked and said shrewdly: "How can I know what my father's state of mind is like? I only know that I only have the princess in my heart, and there is no other woman who can ask me to take another look. I don't like to call so many women either.

When the girls at home are waiting in front of us, I feel annoyed when there are too many people, and I want to kick them all out. I feel the most peaceful and comfortable when you and I are alone together."

Qin Hanzhen glanced at Zhao Mo and felt quite satisfied: "My girls are all serious and good girls. They just want to do their jobs well. Why do you dislike them? As long as you control yourself and don't think wildly.

If you don't have these, you won't get into trouble with your great-uncle and your father. If you like to be alone with me, then I will spend more time with you."

Zhao Mo agreed with a smile, staring at his wife with doting and helpless eyes: Han Zhen still likes to hear my sweet words so much, I really can't do anything to her.

In a leisurely winter afternoon, the couple just sat on the warm Kang, leaning against each other. You and I chatted about trivial matters, and talked about how they would hold a plum feast at their palace in the near future and invite several families.

The royal family members are coming as guests, there is also the wedding between Agui and Lianshi, and what progress has been made in the relationship between Shou and Feng'er recently... etc. After a while, Yu Xinlan sent the girl Qiu Yu over.

Qiu Yu came to deliver a letter. The Marquis of Chengen received a letter from Qin Jian sent back from his hometown in Jiangning. He had already done all the things he needed to do and set out for the north in early November. He would first take the canal and then go back to the house on the way.

We will take the land route. If everything goes well, we will return home to the capital before the end of the year.
