"Mom, Aunt Magpie, do I look good?" With Qiu Ju's help, Jian Wu and Jian Wen had changed their clothes. When they saw that their mother was talking to Magpie alone and ignored them, she screamed anxiously.

"Good-looking." Zhen Shiniang's heart melted when she saw the pair of pink and jade-carved sons. She moved the bronze mirror for them to see, "Look, our Brother Wu is a real handsome boy." She lowered her head and helped.

He tugged at the hem of his clothes and put a python white fox fur cap on him, "When we walk on the street like this, there will definitely be a group of beauties surrounding us, Brother Wu."

Jian Wu grinned.

"I'm a handsome boy too!" Jian Wen pushed his brother aside and stood up straight for Zhen Shiniang to see.

He was wearing new clothes and was in a particularly good mood. Jian Wu made an exception and did not quarrel with Jian Wen. He jumped up and down in front of the mirror and said, "Mom, I'm going to visit Uncle Zhang, Aunt Li, and Gou Zi's family during the Chinese New Year."

..." He counted the houses one by one on his fingers.

Such a little kid knows how to show off!

Looking at her son's rosy little face, Zhen Shiniang felt funny in her heart, "Okay, but Brother Wu wants to wear the Gebu suit made by Aunt Magpie."

Jian Wu's face immediately fell, "Then when can I wear this suit?"

"Miss..." Magpie couldn't bear it.

"When our Brother Wu stops showing off to the children, we can wear this suit."

"I promise I will never show off to them!" Jian Wu raised his little hand high.

"Me neither!" Jian Wen also raised his little hand.

"Then we've agreed." Zhen Shiniang stretched out her little finger to hook them up.

Brother Wen and Brother Wu suddenly smiled.

After changing into new clothes, Jian Wu grabbed Jian Wen and ran to the west room. "Brother, let's go quickly. Let's count how many days there are until the New Year!"

Looking forward to the new year is only for children.

Looking at her son's cheerful back, Zhen Shiniang smiled at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Magpie also looked at Zhen Shiniang and smiled, "The young lady just said nonsense, and the general bought the clothes back. It seems that he has really changed his mind." Her young lady finally came to the end of her hardships.

can you?

Zhen Shiniang suddenly remembered that Concubine Shen had a miscarriage.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but there are only a few that Long Live really likes. Most of them are the result of the balance of power. Behind each concubine is the support of a family force, and the overt and covert struggles between them represent the family.

The battle between the major forces in North Korea and China is so fierce. At this time, it is urgent for Shen Zhongqing to seek a strong political marriage to consolidate his power and attack his opponents, right?

If Concubine Shen's miscarriage was not an accident, what would he choose?

The setting sun shines through the window lattice and reflects on Zhen Shiniang's face. A layer of golden light appears on her body, hazy and ethereal.

…

Returning to Shangjing, Shen Zhongqing entered the palace overnight.

It was already the afternoon of the next day when she came back. Chu Xinyi greeted her at the Chuihua Gate early. She stepped forward and opened the car curtain in person, "The general is back."

"Has mother come back?" Shen Zhongqing pushed away the hand she extended, bent down and jumped out of the carriage, striding forward.

"No." Chu Xinyi quickly caught up, "General, didn't you see the old lady in the palace?"

"Mother hasn't come back yet?" Shen Zhongqing stopped suddenly.

After the morning court, he specifically asked the eunuch of Guanju Palace. The old lady left the palace early in the morning.

He turned around and told Rong Sheng, "Let me find out where the old lady went after she left the palace."

Rong Sheng said yes, turned around and left.

"General..." Seeing Shen Zhongqing walking towards the study without looking back, Chu Xinyi called out urgently and saw him stop. She said delicately, "General, you have worked hard all night, so you should wash up first and take a rest."

Facing her red and swollen face, Shen Zhongqing hesitated for a moment, then raised his feet and turned to Bizhu Garden.

Chu Xinyi smiled brightly and followed meekly.

After washing up, Shen Zhongqing changed into a comfortable gown and fell on the bed.

Too many things happened in one day, and he had to think about it carefully.

Seeing that Shen Zhongqing didn't say a word and seemed to be falling asleep, Chu Xinyi was very disappointed.

He walked out deliberately, thinking about how things were going with him and Zhen Shiniang, and he remembered the letter from his father that night, so he held it back, got up, sat down next to Shen Zhongqing, and gave him a gentle blow. Legs, "I heard that our queen had a miscarriage at night after eating the crab roe soup that the queen rewarded..."

"Well..." Shen Zhongqing closed his eyes, and his voice was vague, and it was impossible to tell whether he was responding to her or not.

What an attitude is this!

Chu Xinyi suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Shen Zhongqing, "I'm talking to you." Seeing Shen Zhongqing open her eyes, the anger in her eyes flashed and turned into a look of resentment like a little daughter-in-law.

"I know, just tell me..." Shen Zhongqing closed his eyes again and patted her back.

"There must be something wrong with that bowl of crab roe soup. The queen is afraid that the empress will give birth to a dragon son, so she threatens her!" My father is right. No matter who is responsible this time, the blame must be placed on the queen, at least. Preconceived notions made Shen Zhongqing wary of Anqinghou and completely gave up on his thoughts of marrying the tenth lady of Anqinghou's house.

Shen Zhongqing frowned and was speechless.

Chu Xinyi added, "The general defeated the Japanese pirates, pacified the Yiyue, and opened up the territory for the Zhou Dynasty. His achievements are unparalleled. Long Live has made an exception and promoted our aunt in the mansion. This great favor has never been seen since the founding of the Taizu." , An Qinghou must be jealous..."

Shen Zhongqing turned over and turned his face away.

Chu Xinyi's expression changed, and she raised her fist in the air. It took a long time to put it away, then moved forward and continued to squeeze Shen Zhongqing's back, "As the head of the country, Anqing is full of party members. The power in the government and the public has long been feared by Wan Sui. I heard that Wan Sui is very fond of the fifth prince, but he has been reluctant to establish him as the prince because he is afraid that An Qinghou will object." He quietly glanced at Shen Zhongqing's expression and said, "General, take this opportunity. If you break up with An Qinghou, Long Live will definitely make you happy. Concubine Zheng is the only doting harem, but she can't shake the queen in the past few years. It's because her family's power is too weak. Zheng Ge is a mediocre person, restrained and low-key, and she has never been able to overpower An Qing Hou, so long live it. He only promoted our aunt again because he wanted to use the combined power of the general and Mr. Zheng Ge to overwhelm An Qinghou..."

The more she talked, the more reasonable she felt. Chu Xinyi pushed Shen Zhongqing who was silent and said, "General, let's marry Mr. Zheng Ge. His niece is fourteen years old and looks like a flower. The general has also met the old lady on her birthday. She is well-behaved and clever. Although she is a commoner, she is enough to match her second brother. After all, the second brother is not even a Jinshi."

Shen Zhongqing's younger brother Shen Zhongxin failed to win the exam for several years in a row. In anger, Shen Zhongqing drove him to Baiquan, three hundred miles away, to work under Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen's name was Wen Jia. He was a famous layman in the Zhou Dynasty. His family had produced two generations of imperial teachers. He himself had been the teacher of Prime Minister Cao, and his disciples had countless people who entered the court and became officials.

For this reason, the old lady was extremely dissatisfied with Shen Zhongqing, and tried her best to find a future for her younger son, so that he would not suffer from the cold window and the separation of mother and son.

"That's enough!" Shen Zhongqing sat up.

Chu Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and then tears fell down.

Shen Zhongqing's heart softened again, "Sichen, are you, a woman, talking about these things?" Although his voice was still stern, his tone softened a lot.

"I'm worried about you. The general doesn't want to hear it, so I won't stop talking." The voice was aggrieved and meek, and Chu Xinyi looked at Shen Zhongqing with a look of pear blossoms and rain.

As long as the words are right, there is no need to talk to him hard.

Shen Zhongqing sighed, "Just take care of the affairs of the inner courtyard. You don't need to worry about the rest." His voice paused, "Also, take the time to go back and persuade Xin Yang to do his job properly. If nothing happens, always follow him. Xu Sanhun, those few are all well-known dandies in Shangjing City, and there will be no good results if you stay with them."

Chu Xinyang is Chu Xinyi's direct younger brother. He is idle. Relying on his power, he often hangs out with Xu San and other royal family members. Two months ago, he beat someone to death in Tianxiang Tower to compete for an upright official. Fortunately, the deceased He was just a street gangster. Hearing that Chu Xinyang's brother-in-law was a powerful general, he didn't dare to sue again. After receiving the compensation, he quietly left for Beijing.

Shen Zhongqing also knew about this. Chu Xinyi had begged him to find Xiao Yu to smooth the relationship. She originally thought it was over, but unexpectedly, as soon as the court came today, Ma Yongbo, the Minister of Punishment, quietly told him that someone had handed over the complaint. Arrive at Shangjingfu Yamen.

Having already received compensation, how could a street gangster have the courage to go back on his word and go against him, Shen Zhongqing?

Moreover, when did the efficiency of court cases in Beijing become so fast?

As soon as the paper was handed over, the Minister of Punishment knew about it.

The Minister of Punishment was originally a party member of Marquis Anqing. I wonder if this matter has anything to do with Marquis Anqing, or was he the mastermind behind it?

If you bring it up at this time, what does it have to do with your sister's tire skiing? What does the other party want?

Do you just want him to settle the matter and not pursue his sister's miscarriage?

Shen Zhongqing felt a little headache as he pressed his temples softly.

"My brother has been behaving well at home these days, how can he cause trouble again?"

Chu Xinyi felt that Shen Zhongqing was just looking for trouble, and a surge of anger rushed into her heart. When she saw Shen Zhongqing getting up to get off the ground, she held it back, changed her expression to a docile one, stretched out her hand to grab him, and laughed softly. He said, "Since the general said it, I will go back tomorrow." The topic changed, "General, how about going to Wutong Town...?"

But the words "Heli" swirled on the edge of his tongue a few times, but he didn't ask the question, he just touched his red and swollen cheeks with his hand.

Shen Zhongqing was forced by the old lady to go to Wutong Town to find Zhen Shiniang and Li, but he didn't tell her clearly. She couldn't bring it up first at this time. She sighed secretly, "He is good at everything, but there is nothing he can do about it. He never said anything in advance about what was going to happen, and he kept his word, but it was really uncomfortable for me to be kept guessing all day long."

Shen Zhongqing looked at her cheek and reached out to touch it, "Does it still hurt?"
