The baby-making system is unreliable

Wen Shengxian did not return home all night, and naturally the ones who were most worried were the old couple. Guo Ranxi almost did not sleep at night and woke her husband up early in the morning.

Guo Ranxi was worried, and now she frowned, pulling the old man up from the bed: "What should we do? What should we do?! Yanzhi didn't come back all night!? What should we do?!"

Wen Qingyu was bewildered, her head aching as if it were exploding. She tightened her shirt, got up and slowly put on her clothes.

I had a thousand questions in my mind, but you are not sleepy, are you?! I was worried about my son not being able to sleep in the middle of the night, and I could still get up so early in the morning. It was really puzzling.

This is also thanks to the fact that she is my own daughter-in-law, otherwise who can bear this! ? Alas, there is nothing I can do if she doesn't come back, the child is grown up and I can't keep her.

"What else can we do?! Anyway, I don't think we made a mistake. When the two grandchildren came back, didn't they say it was no big deal?!" Wen Qingyu put on his clothes and comforted his wife calmly, thinking that nothing serious would happen.

Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic at all, nothing serious can happen, what serious thing can happen to them! ?

"Our Yanzhi is the most polite one, he can't possibly make any big mistakes!! Don't you understand your own child?! Believe in Yanzhi!! "Wen Qingyu stroked his beard, at this moment he firmly believed that his child would not do anything wrong, definitely would not do anything wrong!!

"That's right, you are right, Yanzhi is the most polite one." Guo Ranxi seemed to feel relieved, patted her chest, and murmured to comfort herself.

How could her own child not understand? Of course not, um... The couple consoled themselves and nodded with a smile.

"Oh no, something has happened! No...something serious has happened, Master and Madam...something serious has happened, someone from the palace has come to deliver the decree."

There was a noise in the yard, and Butler Liu stumbled in, as if something big had happened. He came in shouting in surprise.

The Wen couple looked at each other, and saw disbelief in each other's eyes. They hurriedly stepped out of the room, took a few steps forward, and stood on the steps.

Guo Ranxi looked down at the visitor, frowned with a bit of dignity, and then asked: "What's going on?! Someone from the palace came to deliver an order?!"

What decree? Everyone knew that the Wen family had not received an imperial decree for a long time. The last time was before the whole family was forced to leave Beijing.

The empress summoned them back to the capital by secret decree and letter, and had never done anything so blatant or made such a big fuss.

"Madam, don't worry, let's go and take a look... first!" Wen Qingyu's expression was relatively calm. She silently guessed in her heart that perhaps Yanzhi had helped the empress solve some problem, and the empress was rewarding him.

Well... it's just a reward!! That's definitely the case, yes, yes, that's definitely the case, what else could it be! ?

Many members of the Wen family were kneeling in the courtyard, making noises. Eunuch Kong from the palace stood on the steps, and his loud voice rang out, reading out the imperial edict in his hand, the ink of which was not yet dry.

This was written by the empress herself in the morning, and was even read out at the morning court. However, Taifu Wen was unwilling to serve as an official in the court again, so he had no choice but to come to the Wen Mansion.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that there is now a Wen family..." Eunuch Kong's voice was a little harsh, but Wen Qingyu could not hear a single word of it. Her mind was still in a mess, and she could only hear the sentence 'Wen Shengxian is specially appointed as the Emperor's husband, and the wedding ceremony will be held in the seventh month of hot summer'.

Until... the bright imperial edict fell into his hands, he was still a little dazed. It was only when his wife touched his arm that he remembered to accept the edict and thank the emperor! !

"This...?! Did the eunuch announce the wrong decree?!" Wen Qingyu was so shocked that it seemed as if his breath was stuck in his chest. He simply couldn't believe that the imperial decree in his hand was actually a decree of canonization! !

Did the eunuch announce the wrong decree?! Did the empress write it wrong?! Or is there smoke coming out of the Wen family's ancestral tomb?!

"Lord Wen, you are joking. How could this be a wrong announcement? The Empress personally issued the decree in front of all the civil and military officials at the morning court today. How could it be wrong?" Eunuch Kong bent over with a smile, cupped his hands, and then congratulated, "This is a huge thing! Congratulations, Lord Wen!" After that, his mission was completed, and it was time to return to the palace. He stroked his sleeves and walked back to the palace.

What Eunuch Kong meant was that this matter had spread like wildfire, and everyone in the court knew about it?! Everyone knew about it?! This... was something that could not be changed.

"..." The Wen family looked at each other, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. This was too sudden. They didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Guo Ranxi rolled her eyes and glared at her husband, feeling a little angry. How did he comfort her just now? !

Our Yanzhi is the most polite one, he can’t possibly make any big mistakes!! Don’t you know your own children?! Believe in Yanzhi!!

Well, trust him, trust him, nothing serious will happen! ? Then what is this? ! What is this imperial edict! ? It's too embarrassing! ?

"Madam, I... also believe in the child, so I said this. Hey hey hey... Madam, don't be angry, listen to me!?" Wen Qingyu looked at his wife's departing back, knowing that she was angry with him, and hurriedly coaxed her to catch up.

"I really didn't mean it, you have to believe me?! It's just... no, what should I do next? Wait for Yanzhi to come back and ask him clearly?!" Wen Qingyu smiled guiltily and apologized and admitted his mistake directly. Anyway, he just admitted his mistake first and then talked about it.

As long as he admits his mistake quickly, his wife won’t be even more angry, that’s right!!

"Hmph!! Why are you asking?! Of course it's already been decided, otherwise your son would have knelt outside the Qi Yu Palace last night!!" Guo Ranxi snorted coldly, she was angry that her husband misled her, otherwise she would have thought of it long ago.

However, according to Wen Shengxian's stubborn character, if he was unwilling in his heart, then the news that would come today would be that he kneeled outside the palace gate at night, just like before! !

In this way, she knew her son's thoughts, so what was there to object to? ! As long as Yanzhi himself was willing, how could she, as a mother, not agree! ?

"That's true. Yanzhi is stubborn and insists on his own opinions. Once he sets his sights on someone, he will do whatever he wants. In this respect, he is absolutely like me as a father. Hahaha!" At this time, Wen Qingyu was talking about his son and did not forget to brag about himself, which made Guo Ranxi roll her eyes again.

He can even praise himself for this, he is truly worthy of it, there is no one else like him!!

"If you want to be beautiful, it's up to our Yanzhi to decide?! It's good as long as he is happy!" Guo Ranxi said half angry and half laughing. She was actually amused by her husband's behavior and couldn't even get angry.

The eldest uncle of the Wen family was even more surprised. When he returned to Beijing, he did not go to see the empress, only his two grandchildren went to see her. He did not expect that the empress actually valued Yanzhi.

"Yike and Yi'an, you...you should go to and from school by yourselves from now on. I'm afraid Yanzhi can't take care of you." The uncle of the Wen family couldn't help but twitching his lips as he watched his brother and sister-in-law leave. They really did know about it, otherwise they wouldn't have accepted it so calmly.

He knew his brother's temper. If he was not happy, he would have been ready to change into court clothes, go directly into the palace and kneel outside the Empress's Palace to protest.

Half an hour ago, at the morning court, as soon as Yun Xirou issued the imperial edict, everyone in the court immediately began to discuss it.

Apart from the Liang brothers and sisters who knew everything and were waiting to see the end of the drama, who wouldn’t be surprised! ?

This was too sudden, so naturally some people stood up to oppose it. Some even proposed a general election, asking the empress to find a husband.

But all of them were rebutted by Yun Xirou. As a result, it became a foregone conclusion that Wen Shengxian would become the emperor's husband, and no one could change it.

For a time, people in Qinlou teahouse and street vendors were talking about this matter, no matter big or small, and it spread widely among the people.

……

In April of that year, many things were discovered in the Jade Mountain. According to a letter from Zhao Yushu, the whereabouts of the jade in Yuzhou was a complete mess, with officials and businessmen colluding with each other.

In order to gain greater profits, the merchants bribed the governor of Yinzhou and sent him half a million taels of silver every year. After so many years, I can't imagine how rich the governor's mansion must be? !

The annual income of the Yongchang treasury was only over 3 million taels, but the income of the governor's mansion in Yinzhou actually accounted for one sixth of the treasury! !

This person is too greedy and too rampant. He does not take the court or the people into consideration at all.

"In Yizhou, the officialdom and the business community are in collusion, and the merchants in Yizhou are even more overbearing. They dare to resell jade behind the back of the government, and do not take the officials seriously at all, and do not allow the officials to interfere at all!!"

Yun Xirou was wearing a bright red palace dress. Her beautiful face flushed slightly with anger, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were flashing with anger.

She slammed the letter in her hand onto the table with a crisp sound, as if this slam could vent the endless anger and dissatisfaction in her heart.

She subconsciously turned her head, but didn't see a familiar face. Yun Xirou then remembered that Wen Shengxian should be teaching at the moment, and she had lost her composure a little. This matter should be handled slowly.

"Royal sister, Yuan'an requests to see you!!" Yuan'an's voice was heard from outside. When Yun Xirou responded to her, she came in wearing a green gauze dress, carrying a food box.

Yuan'an has nothing to do in the harem. Before, she could take care of Xiao Yuze to pass the time, but now she has some free time. If she has nothing to do, she will make some pastries and send them over.

Yun Xirou took a bite of the cake, and the sweetness filled her taste buds: "Yuan'an's cooking skills are getting better and better. This cake is sweet but not greasy, soft but not loose, and it is really delicious. I will just make less in the future. It's not that I dislike it, but I'm afraid you will be tired."

It goes without saying that making this pastry took a lot of work and must have taken a lot of thought.

"Royal sister, I did all these when I was bored. It doesn't take much effort. I... I want to... want to know..." Yuan'an stood obediently, lowering his head shyly, as if he didn't dare to speak.

This didn't look right. He looked as if he couldn't start talking and he stammered, feeling embarrassed to talk to her.

"You want to know this?!" Yun Yurou smiled and handed her an unopened letter from the table. She just thought her expression was funny: "This is what she gave you. I haven't opened it yet!!"

Every month when Zhao Yushu sent letters, he would write a separate letter to Yuan'an, and it was the same every time.

Sometimes there are some small "gifts" mixed in, such as leaves from an unknown tree, an unknown small box, a strange-looking pebble, and so on.

"I..." Yuan'an blushed instantly, and the letter in her hand was wrinkled by her fist, revealing the nervousness and shyness in her heart.

"Okay, that's what she gave you, just take it with confidence." Yun Xirou smiled faintly as if she didn't hear anything, and then said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that when Zhao Yushu returns to Beijing, your princess's mansion will be completed, which means you can move out by then."

She was already quite old, and her own princess's mansion should have been built, or it should have been built during the reign of Emperor Chanwen. After Yun Xirou came to power, she ordered people to renovate the princess's mansion, which was built on the basis of a princess's mansion in the previous generation.

"Thank you, Imperial Sister, for your hard work!" Yuan'an bowed with gratitude, with a hint of anticipation on her face. She had never thought that one day she would have her own mansion.

Yun Xirou originally wanted to give her a surprise, but since it was her princess mansion, she had the final say on how it should be built, so she looked at the terrain composition with her in advance.

"Last time, the Li family brother and sister were unfortunately injured while hunting in the hunting grounds. I have always felt deeply guilty about this. When you move to the mansion, why not hold a banquet and invite all the officials and their families to come and take this opportunity to express my apologies on my behalf."

Yun Xirou frowned slightly, her tone full of concern and self-blame.

After the last incident, the Li brothers and sisters were all recovering from their injuries. Li Yinwan actually wrote to say that his own injuries had healed, but he was worried that his brother’s injuries had not fully healed.

After all, Li Yunyan is a military general, so he should pay special attention to his health, especially the new injuries overlapping the old ones, so he should be more careful.

But I heard that Liang Moyu went to Li's house more often. It was really too much for Li Yinwan to write half of the letter on purpose to keep people in suspense.

Upon hearing this, Yuan'an quickly nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes! Yuan'an understands!" As she spoke, she carefully kept the matter in mind, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

She knew that the empress could not leave the palace at will. There were countless rules and etiquette, and one move would affect the entire body.

At this time, one's attitude can represent the attitude of the empress. One must think carefully and not act recklessly.

"I guess she should be back soon. Don't worry. Everything is almost done."

Yun Xirou smiled lightly, knowing that she was concerned about this, she mentioned it a little more.

Now that the matter has been almost investigated, all that's left is to finish up, which I think should be done quickly.
