Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Time flies, five years in the future.

In the past five years, the times have changed rapidly. Luo Churan went shopping with her two sons and daughters. She was a little dazed when she saw the crowds on the street and the endless new things appearing in the market. Is this the change caused by her? ?Does she have such great ability?But it does seem to have developed from her initially.

"Mother, don't look at it!" The three-year-old girl slapped her mother's hand fiercely, and said fiercely: "Don't look at handsome guys, mother can only look at father and brother."

The five-year-old boy on the left had his face paralyzed, and the corners of his eyes twitched. His younger sister was really his father's answerer. She was so old that she knew how to help his father look after his mother. His father was really a big jealousy.

Luo Churan flicked her daughter's forehead angrily: "You are a big kid!"

The little girl grabbed her mother's hand, giggled, and hurriedly urged: "Mother, wherever you go, look at grandma."

This time, Luo Churan took his children back to his natal home to visit his parents. While it was still early, he took a look at some rare items. After all, there are so many items in the market now, just like Taobao, it is a lot of fun.

Returning to the Xuanpinghou Mansion, unexpectedly, Luo Chuyun would bring his children back to her natal home. Luo Churan frowned slightly. As the emperor was getting old, the young princes grew up, and a new wave of seizing the heirloom The battle has already started. As the First Prince's niece, the Xuanping Hou Mansion seems to have no choice. It is naturally a team of the First Prince's lineage, but Luo Bang is not very ambitious. Be conscientious, diligent, and nothing else.

After lunch, the children were all arranged to take a nap. Luo Chuyun called Luo Churan and the two of them took a walk in the garden. It was autumn, and the flowers and plants in the garden were withered, only a little green on the evergreen trees.

"Princess, it's useless for you to say these words to me. I am not the head of the Duke of Lu's mansion. There is a decent father-in-law on the top and a son on the bottom. My family is still an idiot. It is estimated that after ten years, the idiot I can still do my best for the prince."

Chen Shen is still studying hard, and he will be able to participate in the Tongsheng Examination next year. Luo Churan has long given up on him. As long as he passes the Juren Exam, he will not be allowed to take the exam again, and ask his father-in-law and elder brother to leave. Menlu, let him out to be a seventh-rank sesame official.

This capital city is too dangerous, it's better to run away early!

When Luo Chuyun heard this, her lips pursed slightly, and she felt a little unhappy. It is said that she is the princess concubine, and the emperor has not died yet. Her husband is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is the most favorable natural contender for the throne. , what he has done has been affirmed by the courtiers and the people. If he can't become the next emperor, who can?

And her natal family was her natural supporters. Except for her elder brother who supported her, the younger sisters all had ambiguous attitudes, even her father's attitude was also ambiguous, but he refused to clearly state that he would definitely support her.

She is the eldest daughter of the Luo family. When she becomes the queen, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for the Luo family. Her father is timid and cowardly. With his lack of courage, how can the Luo family be prosperous?

"Second sister is modest, second sister's wife is good, and second sister has future blessings." Luo Chuyun chuckled, she looked at the familiar yet strange woman in front of her, her expression gradually became awe-inspiring, and in the future, she would let her Taste her heartache and unhappiness in her previous life.

[Luo Chuyun malicious value: 1000 points]

Luo Churan was not surprised at all. Anyway, every time he met Luo Chuyun, Luo Chuyun would contribute hundreds of malicious points to her. The highest was five thousand, and the lowest was one hundred. I made up some pictures of her abusing her, and the malicious value is like not asking for money, so I put it out directly.

"Princess, please rest, I have to go and see my two monkeys." Luo Churan saluted, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard door gracefully, and walked to another courtyard.

Luo Chuyun put away that smiling face, turned around and left expressionlessly, returning to the courtyard where she lived before she got married.

In the middle of the afternoon, Luo Chuyun brought her children back to the palace. Before her, Luo Churan took a step first. After she returned to the palace, she heard the report from the housekeeper, saying: "Reporting to the princess, the prince will be back later tonight. "

Luo Chuyun nodded warmly: "Understood."

She probably knew what the eldest prince was doing. Now that the previous princes had grown up and had accumulated a lot of strength, they all wanted to gain the emperor's approval and take off the crown of prince.

That's right, starting from this year, officials from all walks of life in the court have successively made memorials, asking the emperor to appoint a prince to consolidate the foundation of the country.It's a pity that the emperor suppressed all these memorials, and ignored all the things about the opposing prince. The courtiers speculated on the emperor's thoughts, and the princes speculated on the emperor's thoughts, so the capital was constantly undercurrents.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Manman accompanied Luo Shi to dinner, and returned to the yard sullenly. She was not in a good mood because her mother-in-law hinted that she would hold a grandson.The two of them didn't consummate the house, so what would they use to have a baby?It's all Li Xie's fault, saying that she has lost her memory and can't consummate the house for the time being, otherwise when she thinks about it, if he is someone she hates, wouldn't she be very angry?

"Where's the son-in-law?" Manman glanced at the maids. The previous four maids were old and married, and they married the guards of the princess mansion. Now these four 15-year-old maids are newly promoted.

The round-faced servant girl immediately said: "Responding to the princess, Lin Fei, the chief follower next to the son-in-law, said that the son-in-law was invited to a restaurant for a banquet by His Royal Highness the eldest prince."

Manman raised his eyebrows and muttered, the weasel was uneasy and kind when he wished the chicken a new year. With the display of Li Xie's ability, the adult princes were trying to win him over, even if Li Xie's identity and the third prince were cousins, they couldn't stop him The hearts of the other princes are just about to move.

Here in the restaurant, Li Xie was playing Tai Chi with the eldest prince, and the third prince downstairs came with his son. He put the four-year-old child on the ground and motioned him to go upstairs to find his cousin. Climbing up the stairs, he was so tired that he sat down on the steps, and then looked up to see a familiar person, his eyes lit up, he got up and ran.

"Third Cousin." The child hugged Li Xie's leg, Li Xie raised his eyebrows, amused in his heart.

The eldest prince's face darkened, and he said: "In terms of relatives and estrangements, he is called Fourth Uncle."

Li Xie was amused again, he picked up the child and sat on the bench, and sure enough, he saw the third prince coming upstairs leisurely.

"Brother, third cousin." The third prince said with a surprised smile on his face, "I just said why this kid runs so fast, it turns out that my cousin is here."

These three princes came here to disrupt the situation on purpose. Li Xie is his cousin and brother-in-law, and his relationship is more than that of other brothers.

Li Xie didn't want to waste time with them either, seeing that it was getting late, he returned his little nephew to his cousin, the third prince, and he left, pretending to go home to accompany the princess.

The eldest prince looked at the third prince and sneered: "Third brother, there is still something to do in the elder brother's house, let's go first, the food in this restaurant is quite delicious, third younger brother must not disappoint the elder brother's kindness."

The third prince laughed: "Thank you, big brother." He patted his son and asked his son to salute the uncle. The child couldn't see the turmoil between adults, so he smiled sweetly at the eldest prince and bowed in a dignified way. : "Uncle, goodbye."

The eldest prince rubbed the child's head, then glanced at the third prince coldly, turned and left.

After Li Xie returned home, she immediately found Her Royal Highness who was sullen.

"Don't worry about my mother's words. She doesn't know the inside story. Of course, I can't tell her the inside story. I will solve it."

Manman grabbed Li Xie's sleeve, and said pitifully, "You really didn't lie to me?"

Li Xie laughed: "Of course, if I deceive anyone in this world, I will not deceive you." No matter what Yaoyao's status is, he is not afraid, and he will accompany her to the end.

Manman's mood immediately improved, but after a while, she still said dejectedly: "Why are these people staring at whether I want to have children? Whether I have children or not is none of their business."

Not only the Luo family is concerned, but the giants in the palace are even more concerned. The emperor and the empress dowager have secretly sent the imperial physician to check on Man Man and Li Xie's health. However, the imperial physician said that they are in good health, but the fate of their children has not yet come, and no matter how anxious they are, it will not help .

Li Xie embraced Manman, and said: "Even if your majesty and the queen mother care about it, they won't be like ordinary people who think that if a couple can't have children, it means that the woman's health is wrong. I will never give their son-in-law or grandson-in-law a few beauties, so you just need to relax and say that you have worked hard. If the child does not come, it may be due to insufficient fate. As for the grandfather and mother, I will take care of it. You don’t need to care about what the mother says .”

Li Xie can only deal with Cai Xiang and Luo Shi, he and Yaoyao will not have children, but when they leave and the original owner returns, they will be able to have children, but it may be much later.

As for those people outside, their vision and language, he can't do anything about it.

After Manman regained her mood, she was happy every day, eating and drinking, and went to the palace frequently. The palace tycoon didn't mention the child anymore. Just like what Li Xie said, they couldn't give a few beauties to their son-in-law or grandson-in-law, so they had to Facing the unknown, if under such circumstances, the princess has never given birth to a child, then the concubine will give birth to several children, and the palace tycoon will pretend not to see it.

This is the sorrow of the patriarchal era. Even if one is a princess, it cannot prevent a man from inheriting his offspring.

Now Manman has more chances to get in touch with the wives and wives of various prefectures in central Beijing. In addition to Wang Jian's wife, she also knows a few handkerchiefs who can talk.

Recently, a large field of chrysanthemums bloomed in the Princess Mansion, so she invited the wives of Hong Yingcai and Wang Jian to enjoy the flowers. Among them, Li Haoxuan's wife was the latest to enter their circle. Li Haoxuan was already 23 years old when he got married. He took part in the provincial examination in the 21st year of Jingyuan, and passed the Juren examination. Then he participated in the second year of Chunwei, and his ranking was not bad. Now he is a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. He has only been married for a year, and his wife, Mrs. Pei, is the granddaughter of a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and now Mrs. Pei is pregnant for five months.

The sun was shining today, so Manman held a banquet in the garden to entertain a few good friends. Because of Pei's pregnancy, there were not many opportunities to go out, and it was not a particularly safe occasion, so she returned the invitation because she was not feeling well.

After a salutation, everyone sat down one by one, and their own maids were ready to eat and drink.

"Princess, how do I go out? Let me tell you something interesting that happened at other banquets." Mrs. Pei couldn't stay idle, so she reached out and grabbed a melon seed. With a light stroke of her fingernail, the melon seed was peeled off. up.

The technique of eating melon seeds is very good.

Manman suddenly laughed, shook her head and said, "I don't have any interesting stories here, I should ask her."

She looked at the woman in a water-red dress next to her, and she smiled brightly: "That's too much, I don't know what kind of interesting stories you want to hear?"

This is Wang Jian's wife, Mrs. Xu. Wang Jian is a relatively active person. I don't know if his wife has the same temperament as him, or if she is influenced by him. She likes to listen to all kinds of gossip. She is also very keen on this aspect. After she married Wang Jian, she didn't know whether it was her own ideas or was influenced by Wang Jian. She founded a newspaper and focused on writing all kinds of gossip stories. No blood, no money.

Well, this newspaper was created by their family members for fun, and Manman and the others all have shares.

The other four women immediately laughed from ear to ear, and everyone talked alternately about the gossip they encountered on various occasions.

"You guys help me analyze and analyze. My sister-in-law's mother-in-law celebrated her birthday half a month ago, and basically everyone in our family who can move around went to save face for my sister-in-law."

The person who spoke was Xu Yingyan's wife, Wu Shi. She looked a little bit tangled, she considered her words, and said: "Because my grandfather is well-known, the married daughters of Xu's family live a very good life, even if they meet a few stupid My uncle, my uncle is stupid, but my uncle's parents will never want to offend the Xu family, so in general, the father-in-law and mother-in-law are definitely better to the daughter-in-law than to the son, although this may be superficial. My elder sister-in-law My mother-in-law used to be very kind to my sister-in-law, and I felt that they were the best mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world, but this time at the birthday banquet, the relationship between my sister-in-law and her mother-in-law seemed to be frozen."

Mrs. Wu paused for a moment, as if thinking about it, and then said: "When I came back afterwards, I also asked my family if something happened to the elder sister's house? My master said that the eldest son-in-law wanted to take a concubine, and she was a woman from a brothel. Said to be the woman he really likes, at first their family also made a fuss, but for some reason, the eldest sister-in-law's parents-in-law all compromised."

Thanks to Wu's keen perception, she just felt that something was wrong, but no one answered her questions.

Manman thought about it carefully, then shook her head heavily: "I can't guess that."

"Then Mr. Huo likes the new and dislikes the old?"

"If Uncle Huo really likes that brothel girl very much, the master and wife of the Huo family really can't hold him back, and it's reasonable to compromise in the end."

Mrs. Wu struggled and said: "But I don't think Uncle Huo is that kind of person. He has always given people the impression of being honest and honest, and treats his wife and children very well. It's not that he doesn't have concubines in his backyard. Is there a rift in the family?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Some men just hide it deeply. It's normal to like the new and dislike the old, and change from day to day."

"Yeah, this uncle of the Huo family is not the most heartless, do you know? Last time I went to the temple to offer incense, I heard something even more indignant. The young master of a rich family, the concubine daughter of a family friend whom he likes, the two People secretly kept Chen Cang, but he knew that his parents would not let him marry the concubine daughter as the main wife, so he came up with a way to marry the concubine's sister as the main wife first, and when the elder sister gave birth to a child, she died of dystocia, and then For the sake of this child, the two families had no choice but to marry this concubine daughter to him as his second wife, so that his parents would not object, and in the end the pair of dogs and girls achieved their wish."

As Xu talked, she became very angry, and Manman thought it was unbelievable, is there such a bad man in this world?

"Then how was this exposed?" Since those two people got what they wanted, how could they be exposed?

Xu took a deep breath and said, "There is no impenetrable wall in this world. In order to prevent their actions from being exposed one day, the couple will secretly kill the insiders around them. Two people will die. She survived, and finally told the child left behind by the original partner, and the child tried his best to expose the matter in the end."

The most regrettable thing is that original wife, she must have dug up that man's ancestral grave in her previous life, otherwise how could she meet such a disgusting man?

The topic is so crooked, but everyone is chatting casually, as long as they have a happy chat.

In the evening, when Li Xie came back, Man Man mentioned this matter, Li Xie thought about it for a while, and said: "If I'm not mistaken, the Xu family and the second prince are actually inextricably linked, and the Huo family has been very busy recently. Hurry up, the Huo family should have surrendered to the eldest prince, and that brothel girl is the one who surrendered."

Manman opened her mouth, blinked her eyes, and said after a while, "It's so complicated?" Isn't it true that after a man has true love, he hates having a wife and children?Why did it suddenly turn into a battle for succession?

After holding back for a long time, Manman pursed her mouth: "It's really a bad thing."

In fact, this is an ordinary matter, and Xu Yingyan doesn't even know about it, let alone the fact that Xu's family is separated. As long as it is not a matter of ransacking the family and exterminating the family like a rebellion, under normal circumstances, if the position fails, it will only harm his own family. Other families will not be overly implicated. Of course, in the future, they will definitely be human beings with their tails tucked under the eyes of the new emperor.

This is based on Li Xie’s analysis of the prison incidents that have occurred since the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty. In the past, there were courtiers who failed to stand in line. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he only punished the family of courtiers who followed those failed princes wholeheartedly, such as Emperor Jing Yuan’s ascension to the throne. After that, although his imperial brothers and younger brothers all died, and the courtiers of their faction were punished and exiled by him, it did not harm the same clan.

Perhaps this incident inspired Manman, and after she attended the banquet and heard the gossip news from each other, she would sort out the family's relationship network to see if she was with her three restless imperial brothers again. Of course, it's not just the three emperor brothers who are restless now, but the younger brothers who grew up later also have an ambitious heart.

In late October, the weather was extremely cold, and it snowed heavily overnight in the capital. The imperial court immediately went into full swing, trying its best to ensure the safety of the people in this severe winter.

Emperor Jing Yuan sent out his four sons who were already married to inspect, east, west, north, south, four directions, one son in each direction, plus the courtiers sent out, or issued orders to the magistrates and governors of various state capitals, let them Make sure that no one under your command is frozen to death or starved to death.

Under the leadership of the second concubine, all the noble ladies in the capital began to donate and donate. The donated food and clothing were uniformly arranged by the court to be sent to places where they were needed.

The second prince is not in the capital, and the second prince and concubine can make such a decision, which makes everyone look at her with admiration.

Not long after that, news came out that several princes met unscrupulous people in a place where they were on a business trip, and were killed or their whereabouts were unknown. When the capital was waiting for the final result, good news came. In the end, they were all out of danger, and they also appeased those desperate people, helped them rebuild their homes, and survived this severe winter.

In Prince Rui's Mansion, Luo Chulan is nestling on a warm couch. As a representative of the rich and powerful, she naturally has no shortage of clothes and heating things. The room is warm, making her feel comfortable, but also a little depressed. The weather It was so cold that she didn't want to go out, so she had to stay in the house all day.

There were a few soft and sweet voices from a child outside the door, Luo Chulan's expression froze, and then he relaxed again, and his whole body was relieved a lot, when the door was pushed open, and her maid came in with a four-year-old child in her arms , the child saw her, his eyes were shining, she beckoned, the child immediately ran forward, kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the warm couch.

"Mother." The child rubbed his mother's neck, and his soft and sweet voice was particularly comforting.

Luo Chulan patted his son's head, looked at his facial features carefully, and frowned slightly, "Dabao is so good, have you seen your grandfather and grandmother? Did your grandfather and grandmother order anything?"

The child immediately became excited. He already had a lot of vocabulary, so he started talking non-stop.

"See, my grandfather checked my homework, but I didn't answer very well, but my grandfather was not angry. Grandma asked my younger brother. The weather is so cold, and my younger brother is sleeping again. My grandmother can't see my younger brother easily. She misses my younger brother. gone."

Luo Chulan focused on listening to her son's words, her thoughts were already flying, she couldn't wait any longer, otherwise, if this continued, the three of them might not be able to please any of them.

Under her son's innocent words, she slowly made up her mind.

It was already after the Lantern Festival when those who went out to do business returned to Beijing, and Zhao Qi was among them, but he did not expect that the news that his eldest son was critically ill was what greeted him when he returned home.

Before February came, bad news came out of Prince Rui's residence, that is, the eldest son of King Rui's youngest son died of illness.
