Bai Junhao has always believed that one of the most important reasons for his unstable throne is that he has no heir.He is already 23 this year, not to mention a son, he doesn't even have a daughter, how can the subjects of Great Chu not be suspicious of him.Now the queen mother suddenly told him that he had a child, and Bai Junhao was so overjoyed that he was speechless.

There was no joy on the Empress Dowager's face, "Emperor, let's talk in the inner room."

"Oh." Bai Junhao took two steps forward to help the Queen Mother to walk into the inner room, "This is a happy event, why is the Queen Mother not happy?"

The queen mother was not in a hurry to answer Bai Junhao, but waited until the inner room was settled before saying: "My lord, you have been childless for seven years since you ascended the throne, haven't you thought about why?"

"Of course I thought about it. My son is fine. It can only be that someone in the harem has tampered with it. But the mother has not found anything in the harem, and my son has no way to do it."

It's not that Bai Junhao never doubted the Queen Mother.If he had been childless, the possibility of Bo Junhe's success in usurping the throne would be even higher. After all, the Queen Mother was Bo Junhe's biological mother, so how could Bai Junhao not think too much about it.

But the Queen Mother is beyond reproach.Not to mention that the Empress Dowager, who was drafted every three years, worried about Bai Junhao. There were usually outstanding ladies in the palace, and as long as Bai Junhao had a slight crush, the Empress Dowager would take care of him.Bai Junhao noticed that he had sent people to investigate several times over the years but failed to catch the Queen Mother, so he couldn't doubt the Queen Mother anymore.

"It's a coincidence that at the beginning of the year, the manager of the imperial dining room came to Ai's house to complain, saying that the purchasing hands and feet of the imperial dining room were not clean, and they were always shoddy. The purchasers were relatives of important officials in the court, and the manager did not dare to offend. , come to ask Ai’s family to be the master.”

"Aijia took advantage of the opportunity to check the imperial dining room, and found that some of the ingredients sent to the concubine were always added. Those ingredients are fine if used alone, but they can be combined with other decorations and clothing for many years. At the same time, it is the contraceptive pill. It is precisely because of this delicate and fragmented method that we are not easy to find out, and it has made you childless for many years."

"Bold! Who is it that can reach into the forbidden city of the imperial palace!" Bai Junhao suddenly stood up, and walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back, "Queen Mother, have you found out who is behind the scenes?"

"If Ai's family finds out who it is, I just said it. The terrible thing is that Ai's family can't find out who that person is, and all the clues have been cut off. Most of the palace people who pass dishes and set meals on weekdays are innocent. None of them knew that there was something wrong with the things in their hands. The suspicious ones were all silenced before interrogation."

"Who is pregnant and where is it now?"

"Sit down." The queen mother patted the seat beside her to comfort Bai Junhao, "The pregnant one is Xie Cairen, and the Ai family has already sent her out of the palace."

"Thank you talent?!" Bai Junhao was taken aback, "Didn't she kill you a few days ago because of her disobedience? Could it be that you were acting on purpose?"

"Exactly. Xie Cairen is quite talented and comes from the Xie clan of Chen County. He is qualified to bear children for you. The Ai family saw that you had some interest in her a while ago, so they moved her to live with me. I am watching the food and expenses, a few days ago she showed signs of pregnancy, so I asked the imperial doctor to take the pulse, and it really is a happy pulse, it has been more than a month."

A trace of helplessness flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes: "She was worried about Aijia in the palace, so she played a scene and sent her out. I will tell you only now that she is settled. Aijia can tell you where Xie Cairen is, but you don't Go and see it, lest it will be a bad thing if it is eye-catching."

"What the queen mother said is true, but the son's knees are empty. To this child..." Bai Junhao smiled shyly, "It's really embarrassing for my son to resist seeing Xie Cairen."

Empress Dowager Xiao Tongjin is the direct younger sister of the head of the current Xiao family, and Bai Yan became the head of the harem as soon as she ascended the throne. With the cultivation of the family and the tempering of life in the harem, the current queen mother's ability to figure out people's hearts and her vicious eyes are comparable to Fu Zekai's I'm afraid it's not bad, how could he fail to hear the undertones in Bai Junhao's words.

"Where does the emperor want to see Xie Cairen's mother and son, the emperor clearly cannot trust the Ai family. Just after the matter of the honorary title, the emperor is angry and sad. The family knows, and it is no wonder that the emperor is not at ease."

"The queen mother is overthinking..." Bai Junhao was a little embarrassed when his mind was revealed, but he didn't show his face too much.

"If the Ai family didn't think about the emperor's son, they could have killed Xie Cairen's mother and son, why bother to send them out to settle down. If the Ai family wanted to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix into a phoenix, or hugged someone else's child to pretend to be the prince... "The Queen Mother sneered, "Heerjin is now prosperous and powerful, can Aijia get a milk doll to calculate the throne?"

"Even if He'er's wife is a man, if he really ascends to the throne, can he not choose a concubine to have a son?!"

Bai Junhao hurriedly bowed to apologize: "The mother misunderstood the son, the son really just wants to see the child."

"Your Majesty, shouldn't we do our best to find out who is the childless person who murdered His Majesty?"

Xiao Tongjin came from a family background. Although she has been a concubine for many years, her self-cultivation and bearing are worthy of a queen in a country. She despises men with small temperaments the most. A small belly like Bai Junhao will only be jealous of his own people. Xiao Tongjin's temper really doesn't catch her eyes.Not only Bai Junhao, but also Emperor Fu Zekai was not welcomed by the Queen Mother.Fu Donglou's failure to have a good reputation and impression with the queen mother has nothing to do with him being a cheap father.

Bai Junhao's attitude was extremely firm: "The son who is behind the scenes must be thoroughly investigated! It can be seen that the mother and son of Xie Cairen will not be at ease."

It is understandable for Bai Junhao to judge others by himself. Anyone who has been looking forward to the child for six or seven years will be like this.After all, the queen mother is not Bai Junhao's biological mother, and there are more than two layers of belly between the two hearts.

"Forget it, the emperor insists on this, and the Ai family will not stop you. Xie Cairen's mother and son will be handed over to you. I believe the emperor will be able to take good care of them. The Ai family is only waiting to hold their grandson."

So bluntly speaking, even though Bai Junhao is still determined to go his own way, the Queen Mother will not continue to insist.Leaning on the armrest, Xiao Tongjin gently rubbed his temples with his fingers. There were no wrinkles on his well-maintained face, but there was a burst of tiredness.

Bai Junhao knew that he was a bit too much today, and remembering that the queen mother felt sorry for his care, he knelt down beside the queen mother to fan her, and deliberately accompanied her and said: "Knowing that the queen mother always loves her son, that's why I dare to get angry with you. Don't get angry."

Glancing at Bai Junhao, the queen mother was still angry: "You, you are more annoying than your brother when you have a stubborn temper."

"Speaking of Hedi, the army has now arrived in Hanzhong. It can be said that Hedi is good at running the army. In the past few years, Hanzhong City has been built as solid as gold, and the barbarians have not defeated it for more than half a month. It is reported from the front Xin'er said that Shi Chaoyi sent a supervising army when he was in a hurry."

"Aijia heard that He'er went to see you the night before he went out to fight?" The queen mother snorted coldly, "What nonsense did that kid say?"

The matter of Bai Junhao smashing things may be hidden from the ministers outside, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from the Queen Mother.

"My brother and I felt sorry for my daughter-in-law, so I was in a hurry to save her, and I just talked back to my son. How can there be an overnight feud between us brothers, and I can't remember what my mother and my brother said to me now. "

Tapping on Bai Junhao's forehead, Xiao Tongjin reprimanded lightly: "Just cover it up for him."

After coming out of the underground palace, Bo Junhe sent a letter to Gu Xian. After Fu Donglou woke up, Bo Junhe immediately compiled the matter about the Jade Seal of Chuanguo into the secret language of the palace and sent it back to the palace with a falcon.Since it is not far from Chengdu, Gu Xian received the news only a day later.The succession of big news did not make His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing lose his usual indifference. He was very leisurely brewing tea in the gazebo.

Mu Yan is not a fool, when Lei Ting fled, he should have been prepared for the leak of the plan.Knowing about Lei Ting, Gu Xian thought of the rumors about Fu Donglou's elopement and understood a little better—this matter was most likely caused by Mu Yan.If Fu Donglou's reputation is damaged and the government and the public think that Fu Donglou and Bei Yan are indeed having an affair, then it will not be so credible for Fu Donglou to testify against Mu Yan when he returns to the court.

Now that Mu Yan missed a single blow and did not attack rashly again, Jinguan City has been clean for a few days.Mu Yan is not a person who jumps over the wall in a hurry, Gu Xian is happy to drink tea leisurely, after all, the two countries are at war, and seeking stability is the best policy.

Half a month ago, Bai Junhao asked someone to seal up Boguyuan, and cleaned up several former court officials' houses in the suburbs of Chengdu and renamed it Jixian Pavilion, and provided free accommodation for candidates just like Boguyuan, who knows But painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.

Officials, gentry and rich families set up other courtyards outside the city to escape the summer heat, and their own servants transported food and clothing from the upper city of Zhuangzi. All the book boys can afford to live in an inn, so who would take advantage of Jixian Pavilion?It is inconvenient for these scholars to live outside the city to eat, drink and socialize, unless they really have nowhere to go, otherwise no one would like to live in Jixian Pavilion.

In this way, Bai Junhao didn't get a good name, but instead made these students think about Fu Donglou even more.

Thinking of the matter of Yuxi mentioned in the letter, Gu Xian couldn't be more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.As for what Bo Junhe said about Fu Donglou being a person of later generations, with Taoist Shanshi's orders first, Gu Xian's guess was not too far, so he was a little less surprised and more grateful for his fate. , Secretly sighed that his son was blessed.

"Your Highness, someone sent a batch of new porcelain from the kiln factory, saying that it is a new style that our prospective Wang Qing asked them to develop, and I specially brought it for you to have a look at."

Wang Sheng didn't want to disturb Gu Xian at first, but what he received really opened the eyes of the well-informed chief executive of the palace, so he hurried over to announce the good news.

Gu Xian has always had a high vision, and he can't catch the leisurely fine porcelain. Seeing Wang Sheng presenting it like this and saying that it was Fu Donglou's handwriting, he felt a little bit more anticipation in his heart.

"Take it and have a look."

There are not many things sent, only eight small porcelain plates of lotus flowers, two large plates of rich and noble peonies in bloom, and a pair of eight-edged clean bottles, each of which is an even number, and was originally prepared as a dowry for Fu Donglou's big wedding. of.

Rao has an elegant taste like Gu Xian, and he can't help being shocked when he sees these few things.With green and delicate enamel, several kinds of porcelain look like jade.

"Your Highness, our Zhun Wang Qing told those craftsmen a long time ago that this porcelain needs to be fired...what's the meaning of that phrase?" Wang Sheng thought about it carefully and slapped his head, "It's called 'Jiuqiu Fengluyue Kiln Opening , won the emerald color of thousands of peaks. It is good to have a good time in the middle of the night, and share the cup of Sandou in Jizhong'. The servant may be sure of Wang Qing's talent, but I can also hear that this word is very good. If our kiln factory is based on the former Tang Dynasty Time counts, isn't it from Yuezhou?"

"Zhun Wangqing also explained that this is called secret color porcelain."

"An orphaned daughter-in-law is naturally a first-class talent." Although Gu Xian loves these kinds of porcelain very much, he will not compete with his daughter-in-law.His daughter-in-law is so capable, it's too late for him to feel sorry for her.

"The kiln was given to Wang Qing, and these things are Wang Qing's private house. Wang Qing is not here, so you send these things to the East Mansion and ask the housekeeper to carefully arrange them in Wang Qing's room. Wang Qing will be happy to see them when she comes back. "

"Your Highness, seeing that the day of the wedding is approaching, can the prince and Wang Qing make it in time?" Wang Sheng did not immediately accept the errand, but suggested, "Even if it is not in time, the first thing the prince will do when he comes back is to meet Wang Qing." When you get married, instead of going back and forth, it’s better for the slaves to send these porcelains to the prince’s new house. Wang Qing’s dowry furniture has already been placed, which is just right for these new porcelains.”

"Wang Qing would like to choose what dowry decoration Gu Shang doesn't ask you, but you are very worried. If you don't know, you may think that our palace is taking advantage of Wang Qing. Don't embarrass Gu."

Wang Sheng was very kind, but Gu Xian laughed and scolded him without seriously blaming him, and then ordered: "Gu here has a letter to send to He'er, and I will ask someone to go to Gu's study to wait for the letter to be delivered. First give the letter, and now If such a good thing is burned, we must tell Wang Qing that it is not."

"They probably won't be able to make it in time for the big wedding on August [-]th. The winter solstice is also an auspicious day in the days counted by Si Tiantai last time. Looking at their winter solstice, it's not bad. Go and ask someone to change Xifu from summer clothes to winter clothes for preparation." on."

"Yes, the slave will go here."

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Gu Xian smiled leisurely: "The two orphaned sons are really blessed."
