The Wife is First

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." After hearing this, he was stunned. He was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to say. Did he really guess the holy meaning wrong? So why did the emperor sigh at the good news before? Finally, she still had some sense and knew that it was absolutely forbidden to ask this question.

Emperor Hongzheng glanced at her. The last incident involving the Ministry of Revenue's embezzlement of military pay was widely implicated. Although the investigation was not completed in the end, all the evidence pointed to the fourth prince. Since he punished those officials, the Queen and Jing Yu seem to be a lot more anxious than before. In the past, when Jing Shao was mentioned, they were all praise and advice, but now the slander is becoming more and more obvious.

Then he came back to his senses, took a peek at the emperor's expression, and couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. He quickly changed his words and said, "I am confused," he said, squatting down and bowing.

Emperor Hongzheng ignored it and sat down on the bed.

Afterwards, she hurriedly stood up and followed him. The palace people had already left since they started arguing. She knelt down and took off the emperor's shoes herself. She said with some choking, "I am a woman who thinks about everything every day." With the Emperor and his heirs in mind, Jing Yu is still young and has not yet had a son and a half, so he hopes that his three brothers can contribute more to the royal family, but he never expected that this would affect the court."

Emperor Hongzheng was silent and didn't know whether he heard or not.

"My confused brother heard someone say that he contradicted his concubine before becoming the princess, and he didn't know that the emperor had approved the princess to join the army. That's why he came up with such words. The emperor must not be the same as him." The queen said and took out the handkerchief. Son, sobbed and cried.

"Get up," Emperor Hongzheng's voice remained unchanged, and there was no hint of emotion or anger. "That's it for now. Don't make any random decisions in front of Jing Yu in the future." After all, she is a queen, so she still has to consider some dignity. .

Jihou hurriedly responded in a low voice, and was already breaking out in a cold sweat when he stood up.

The next day, Jing Shao waited until noon and personally took the carriage to the Beiwei Hou Mansion to pick up the Qiu family.

"Jun Qing drank too much last night and his voice became hoarse this morning. He refused to take medicine and said he wanted to eat the pear paste made by his mother," Jing Shao said helplessly, but his words were full of doting. " He was not feeling well, so I took it upon myself to pick up Mrs. Chu.

To treat pear paste, you have to eat it while it's hot. It's useless to take it with you. Moreover, Qiu's room is now a side room and can go out and move around.

When it comes to this matter, the Marquis of Beiwei will naturally not stop him, but his awareness of Mu Hanzhang's favorability has risen to another level.

Jing Shao followed Mrs. Qiu's instructions and smoothly put Mrs. Qiu into the carriage.

This was the first time Qiu had seen Jing Shao. Based on various rumors, she originally thought he was a rude and strong man, but unexpectedly he was so handsome and noble in temperament.

"I have met His Highness King Cheng!" Mrs. Qiu stepped forward to salute. Before she could squat down, she was helped up by Jing Shao.

The carriage was surrounded by people from the Beiwei Hou Mansion. Jing Shao didn't know what to say. He just smiled and said, "Why do you need such a false courtesy as a family? Madam, please get in the car quickly."

Marquis Beiwei looked at the carriage going away with a deep look in his eyes. The fourth prince threatened Mu Lingbao with the news that he had become a useless person and asked him to join their camp. But his son married King Cheng. How could the Fourth Prince and his faction really trust him? They just wanted to use him as a spearman. In desperation, he could only stay home because of his illness. Now that Princess Cheng wants to be ennobled as a marquis, word has spread throughout the capital. The four princes have not reaped any benefits, but Prince Cheng's love for Mu Hanzhang has not diminished at all.

The battle to seize the legitimate son is about to come to the table. It is wishful thinking to protect oneself wisely. The eldest son is already dead and the grandson is still young. If you want to keep the Beiwei Hou Mansion, you have to rely on the second son.

Mu Jin sighed, his position must be firm and clear from now on.

"Hanzhang, I heard that you are not feeling well?" Qiu got off the carriage and saw her son standing in front of the door. She frowned and hurriedly advised him to go back into the house.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm here to check on you today." Mu Hanzhang laughed and helped his mother go inside.

"Me?" Mrs. Qiu frowned and turned to look at King Cheng aside.

"Don't worry, mother, the prince has made arrangements. Mu Hanzhang knew what she was worried about, so he hurriedly expressed relief.

"Yes, mother." Jing Shao echoed.

Qiu: "..."

Mu Hanzhang: "..."

Jing Shao is the prince, not to mention Qiu's concubine. Even Mrs. Bei Weihou cannot afford to call him mother.

"Your Highness, this is impossible!" Mrs. Qiu was about to salute, but suddenly felt dizzy.

"Mother!" Mu Hanzhang was startled and hurriedly caught his mother who fell down.

"Give it to me." Jing Shao picked up his mother-in-law, quickly entered the room and put her on the bed, then turned around and went out to call Doctor Jiang.

After feeling her pulse through a screen, Imperial Physician Jiang pondered for a moment and said: "Madam is less than three months pregnant and is elderly. She is prone to dizziness when she is restless, so it is best to rest."

Ms. Qiu was very nervous when the prince personally picked her up today. In her opinion, although her son always said that the prince treated him well every time he came back, he still couldn't believe it all. The conversation between the madam and the prince was still in her ears, and she was afraid that she Get your son into trouble.

Jing Shao collected the prescription for fetal well-being and asked Yun Song to grab the medicine. He also told Dr. Jiang not to talk about this matter to anyone before turning back.

"That's how he is. He always thinks about where he is when he speaks and does things." Mu Hanzhang's gentle and pleasant voice came from the room. Jing Shao paused, wanting to secretly hear what his princess said about him.

"Since he calls you mother, he really respects you. Don't think too much."

"But, after all, you are a member of the royal family, so you have to be careful when speaking even if it is from your own palace."

Jing Shao curled his lips, these words sounded really familiar, Jun Qing often reminded him like this.

"You have forgotten what mother told you before. No matter how kind the prince is to you, you must not be arrogant and do not forget the rules!" Qiu's words were still full of worry. Now they are both young and newly married. One year, of course, you will be loved in every possible way, but the flowers will never last forever. Once you lose this preference, your past mistakes will be brought out.

Jing Shao couldn't listen any more, so he walked in and pulled his princess into his arms in front of his mother-in-law: "Mom, don't worry, I, Jing Shao, will never take a concubine again in this life! He is the only one in this life! You! She is Jun Qing’s mother, so she is certainly worthy of my title!”

Every word was spoken loudly. Qiu looked at Jing Shao blankly, not expecting that King Cheng would say these words.

Mu Hanzhang hurriedly broke away from his arms, his ears turned red. He felt embarrassed to be so intimate in front of his mother, but he did not shake off the hand he held.

Mrs. Qiu looked at it for a long time, and then slowly revealed a smile, with the gentleness and softness unique to Jiangnan women, like a small and delicate apricot flower blooming, it was very touching, but the beautiful eyes similar to Mu Hanzhang's were full of emotion. Getting wet

At the same time, Mrs. Yongchangbo, who had been pregnant at home for two days, finally couldn't help but go to the palace.

"Mother, after all, I am the uncle of the state. Your Highness, let your uncle rush to the front in everything. If the emperor blames you, the entire Yongchang residence will have to pay for it!" Mrs. Yongchang began to cry as soon as she saw the queen.

Afterwards, he spent the whole night in fear, and his face was not good at all. Hearing the crying voice, he felt a splitting headache: "Jing Yu didn't just want to let his uncle make the first contribution. Things in the court are unpredictable, and he was so timid. How can you accomplish great things?"

"Your Highness knows that the emperor has already promised that Princess Cheng will accompany the army, why would he let his uncle take this risk?" After hearing this, Mrs. Yongchangbo couldn't help but get even more angry, but the person in front of her was not only her aunt, but also the queen, so she had to suppress her. He continued to cry in anger.

"It's all over, what's the use of crying with me now?" After hearing this, he became more and more irritated and knocked the cup in his hand on the table.

"Your Majesty," Mrs. Yongchangbo shrank her neck, rolled her eyes quickly, and clutched the handkerchief and said, "I was beaten by King Cheng, and my entire eye socket is blue, and I can't heal it. This belongs to your Majesty. My dear brother, if King Cheng hits him, wouldn't it be equivalent to hitting the empress in the face?"

As he spoke, he started to cry again, and rambled that Uncle Yongchang went to court today with those eyes in his eyes. Uncle Yongchang was an elder after all, but King Cheng didn't even say a word of apology, and the Emperor acted as if he hadn't seen it. Uncle Yongchang's title is already low. If this continues, who else in the Duke's family will think highly of Uncle Yongchang, and even the fourth prince will be looked down upon.

The queen was also told that she was very angry, but the emperor now disliked Jing Yu. What happened last night still left her with lingering fears. It would be better to be honest for a while, but she really couldn't swallow it. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said sharply: "What's the point of crying with me? If you can, go cry to the Queen Mother, go to Fengxian Hall to cry to the ancestors of the Dachen Dynasty!"

Mrs. Yongchangbo was stunned: "What the empress means is..."

"I am already busy enough managing the harem, and I cannot take care of these things!" The queen raised her eyebrows and waved her hand to let the palace people see off the guests.

The Queen Mother was Mrs. Yongchang Bo's cousin, not the late emperor's empress, nor the emperor's biological mother. However, when Emperor Hongzheng ascended the throne, he needed a queen mother, so he chose the one with a relatively high family background among the living concubines. Because of this situation, the Queen Mother has always been indifferent, but given her status, if Mrs. Yongchang Bo went to cry and complain, it would definitely reach the ears of the Emperor. If it doesn't work once, just cry every day. The emperor has to take care of his face, right?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yongchang Bo made up her mind and walked straight towards the Queen Mother's palace.

The queen sat quietly for a moment, then raised her hand and slammed the cup in her hand. It's a shame that most of Jing Yu's accumulated contacts were destroyed by the corruption scandal in the household department. Years of preparations were ruined in one fell swoop. How could she not be impatient? But now in this form, you have to be calm!

The atmosphere in Fengyi Palace was gloomy, but in Prince Cheng's Mansion it was joyful.

"If it's a boy, I guarantee that he will inherit the title of Marquis of Northern Wei." Jing Shao smiled and handed the anti-fetal medicine to his princess.

Mu Hanzhang took the medicine, blew on it, and tested the temperature before giving it to his mother.

Mrs. Qiu shook her head: "I don't ask for any title, I just want this child to be born safely."

The couple looked at each other. With Mu Lingbao's appearance now, if Mrs. Beiweihou knew that Qiu was pregnant, she might do something crazy.

Mu Hanzhang frowned: "Send mother back later, and I'll go talk to father."
