That night, Emperor Showa went to the Xinghe Palace, and Xu Qingli, the young and beautiful widow, slept with him.

Emperor Showa felt the charm of a mature husband for the first time.

She is old and only enters the harem a dozen days a month.

After the newly promoted last emperor Jin Xiantai became pregnant, the most favored person in the harem once again became the eighth princess's father, Yan Shijun.

The next ones are Xiao Jin and his family.

Now that he had Xu Qingli, he made him sleep with him for three consecutive days.

All the men in the harem looked at her sideways.

They knew about widows marrying again, and they also knew that the court had officially issued a decree prohibiting widows from marrying again.

Originally, they had no idea about Emperor Showa taking a widow into his harem, thinking that she was doing it for the world to see.

I thought that even if I entered the palace, I would not be favored.

But the reality is just the opposite.

This widow named Xu Qingli was actually quite favored by His Majesty, which made them feel very uneasy.

There were already too many monks and too little meat, and now with another person coming to share the meat, there would not be enough.

For a time, Emperor Showa's harem was in turmoil again.

In order to respond to the decree that widows could not remarry, Grand Tutor Jin and others all married widows regardless of whether they were willing or not, setting an example for the people of the world.

As the cousin of Emperor Showa and the aunt of the third princess Zhong Jinhuang, Duke Cheng'en Zhang Ji naturally had to set an example. Moreover, the Zhang family was loyal to the emperor and it was impossible for them to go against Emperor Showa.

That's right, after looking around, Duke Cheng'en Zhang Ji fell in love with Zhong Ruhuang's father-in-law.

She fell in love with Sun Liushi, the father of Zhong Ruhuang's concubine Sun Pannu, the now widowed Sun Liushi, the biological brother of Sun Guifu in the palace.

The Sun family is now affiliated with the Martial King Zhong Ruhuang, and their only daughter, Sun Younu, is Earl Ledao. It can be said that as long as Sun Younu does not commit suicide in the future, she will live a life of wealth and honor.

Duke Cheng'en Zhang Ji was a playboy when he was young. Fortunately, her husband, Qian, was gentle and virtuous. After giving birth to three legitimate daughters for her, she became tired and gave her many maids. She also gave her two concubines with good family backgrounds and four good concubines.

The two concubines, four maids and six young servants gave birth to fifteen illegitimate daughters for her, making a total of eighteen female heirs.

Which female monarch would not envy Duke Cheng'en Zhang Ji for having many daughters and a prosperous family?

It can be said that all the positions in the backyard of Duke Cheng'en Zhang Ji are full.

She fell in love with Sun Liu and there was no room for her to be a concubine.

Qian laughed at her wild imagination.

Sun Liushi got married after he gave birth, and all his children took his surname. Now he is the husband of the Earl of Ledao. His life is so easy. He only needs to raise his daughter Sun Younu. How could he be willing to let her be his concubine?

Zhang Ji didn't think so.

Thinking about the last time she went to the temple to burn incense and the fleeting glimpse she had at that time, she still felt a little restless.

Sun Liu is already thirty-two or thirty-three years old, but still looks frail, as if she is weak and unable to take care of herself. However, she takes good care of herself and looks like a mature husband.

That look and that temperament fascinated her at that time.

When Zhang Ji was young, she liked good-looking men, and none of the men in her backyard were ugly.

Originally, before the imperial court issued the decree allowing widows to remarry, Zhang Ji was just thinking about it in his heart.

Now that the imperial court has issued a decree prohibiting second marriage, Zhang Ji can no longer sit still.

Sun Liu was only in her thirties, which in her opinion was not too old. She was more than ten years younger than her, so it was suitable for her to remarry.

She didn't think she was unworthy of Sun Liushi in any way.

After much deliberation, Zhang Ji decided to enter the palace after Emperor Zhaohe married Xu Qingli as a concubine of the fifth rank.

What are you doing in the palace?

Naturally, they asked Emperor Showa to act as a matchmaker.

When the aristocratic families are particular about things, they are really particular, but when they are not particular, they are really messy.

"What did you say? You want to marry Sun Liu as your equal husband?"

Emperor Showa was shocked by his cousin.

What is she saying?

Has she forgotten that she is also Lao Wu's mother-in-law?

Marry the widowed father-in-law of the fifth brother as a equal husband?

Is that true?

Zhang Ji remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so surprised? You have issued a decree that widows can marry a second time, so why can't I marry a commoner?"

Emperor Showa: ………

Emperor Zhaohe was choked and looked at Zhang Ji again.

"Are you serious?"

"The old house is on fire?"

Why didn't she love any man when she was young?

She had more than just respect for her husband, Qian.

Zhang Ji didn't know whether she had fallen in love with Sun Liushi, she just felt a little regretful towards Sun Liushi.

Maybe there is no such weak man in her backyard.

"Your Majesty, just tell me whether you will be the matchmaker or not?"

"Even if I want to be a matchmaker, I have to know whether Sun Liu is willing. He is the eldest grandson of General Sun, and there are no elders in his family. I can't just issue an order to grant him a marriage, right?"

"Besides, Earl Ledao is still young and can't leave his father. Are you willing to raise this stepdaughter?"

Zhang Ji nodded: "I am willing. My legitimate daughter and concubine's daughter are already adults, my youngest son is married, and my granddaughters are being raised by their mother and father. I feel a little empty at home."

Under Zhang Ji's repeated requests, Emperor Zhaohe had no choice but to go to Sun Guifu's Qianhu Palace to spend the night.

The next day, Sun Guifu, with a look of love in his eyes and eyebrows, asked someone to invite his brother Sun Liushi to the palace for a chat.

Ever since Sun Liushi settled in the capital with her daughter, Sun Guifu would summon him to the palace to talk every now and then.

The palace is lonely.

Sun Guifu didn't even have a child, and he lived a secluded life, so he didn't have any friends.

When his brother settled in the capital, he was very happy and liked to invite Sun Liu to the palace to talk.

Sun Liu thought that Sun Guifu wanted to chat with him again, so she went into the palace as usual.

When they arrived at Sun Guifu's Qianhu Palace, less than half an hour later, Sun Liushi left the palace with a blushing face and went home.

When His Majesty issued a decree allowing widows to remarry, Sun Liu thought it had nothing to do with him.

After all, his son was married, and he had a daughter who was the Earl of Ledao. His life was something that many men envied.

He thought he would be a widow forever.

Unexpectedly, Duke Cheng'en Zhang Ji took a fancy to him and was willing to marry him as his commoner.

Although an ordinary husband is not as noble as a legitimate husband, he is still a husband.

What's more, he was a widower, and marrying for the second time to become the husband of a nobleman was already a high marriage.

Sun Liu liked to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and she had met Zhang Ji, Duke of Cheng'en, several times.

Thinking of Zhang Ji's appearance and his sturdy body, Sun Liu was somewhat moved, but still felt a little embarrassed.

After Sun Liushi left, Sun Guifu knew in his heart that he was willing.

So he sent someone to reply to Emperor Showa.

Since both parties were willing, Emperor Zhaohe acted as the matchmaker and issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage, allowing Sun Liu to marry Zhang Ji as a commoner.

Zhang Ji's husband, Qian, had known about this for a long time, but didn't say anything.

His three legitimate daughters had all grown up and had given him granddaughters. He no longer relied on Zhang Ji's favor to make a living.

Besides, he is just an ordinary man.

In this way, Sun Liu married Zhang Ji in a grand ceremony and became her equal husband.

Sun Younu is young, so she temporarily lives with Sun Liushi in the mansion of Duke Cheng'en to make it easier for Zhang Ji to educate her.

As the saying goes, love the house and love the dog. Zhang Ji's stepdaughter Sun Younv was also taught wholeheartedly by him.

Zhong Ruhuang doesn’t know about these things for the time being.

The two sides are far apart and information is transmitted slowly.

She is now defending the city with all her heart.
