The Jindu of the winter moon is cold after night. On this dark night, when Chen Danxia, ​​who was raising her baby at home, was already asleep in Xu Lang's arms; but at this time, the King of Yan took four followers and a woman to the hill outside the city where many ownerless and lonely graves were buried.

The woman walked through the weeds, stopped from time to time to identify the direction, and finally stood in front of a small earthblock with three stones of different shapes in front of the earthblock; the woman shone the stone with the lantern in her hand and said, "Your Majesty, it's here." The faint candlelight shone on the woman's face. If Queen Zhao was here, she would definitely recognize that the woman was the woman in the palace who had followed her for many years and worked for her.

King Yan stared at the earthen bun, the light was dim, and the woman couldn't see the expression on his face clearly; after a long time, King Yan opened his lips and uttered a word, "Dig."

The four people who had been standing quietly behind him took out their hoes and began to dig the soil bun. When they were burying, they were perfunctory. The soil on the coffin was not thick, so they quickly dug up the already decaying thin coffin. After so many years, the corpse inside had already turned into loess, leaving only a head covered with mud and three black silver hairpins.

"The three silver hairpins were the relics left to her by Su Lingwan's mother. Before she died, she begged me to let her take them away." The woman saw the three silver hairpins and was sure that she had made no mistakes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Su Lingwan." King Yan said his biological mother's name gently. Although he had long expected that with Empress Zhao's methods, Su Lingwan would never be left behind, he always had a little fantasy. Now that he had even found the grave, his fantasy was completely shattered. Unexpectedly, after living for two lives, he realized his life experience and saw his dead biological mother. It was really sad. King Yan curled his lips and smiled bitterly, and took the small bag handed over by his subordinates. This was his biological mother's head and burial objects. He would find a Feng Shui treasure land to bury her again, so that she could enjoy the sacrifices and incense of her descendants.

King Yan learned from the woman that as soon as he was born, he was taken away by Empress Zhao. Then Su Lingwan was poisoned by Empress Zhao and did not even have time to take a look at her son she had born to with great difficulty.

Although the founding of his biological mother's grave made the King of Yan even more hatred for Empress Zhao, his wings were not yet truly full. Empress Zhao was concerned about it, even though they had already broken up, they still wanted to show "loyal mother and filial son" from time to time. Empress Zhao was most worried that the fourth prince was too close to King of Yan and obstructed the two brothers from getting along everywhere, but some things could not be stopped, especially under the deliberation of King of Yan.

On this day, the fourth prince walked into Qiyuan Palace with a small bow, with a happy smile on his face, "My mother, my elder brother took me to shoot an arrow today."

"Didn't I tell you not to be with your elder brother? Why don't you listen to your mother's words?" Empress Zhao asked sternly.

The fourth prince asked in confusion: "Mother, why can't I be with my elder brother?" The mother did not let him approach the second and third brothers. He understood that they were different mothers, but he and the elder brother were the same father and mother, so why couldn't they?

"You are the most noble prince of your father. What you should do is to follow your husband to learn the way of a gentleman, rather than follow him to play around and lose your ambitions." Zhao Hou said sharply.

The expression on the fourth prince's face was even more confused. The eldest brother was the eldest son of his father, and he was the most noble prince of his father. Is the mother confused? No matter how noble he is, he is only the second son of his father, how can he surpass the eldest brother?

Empress Zhao saw the fourth prince's expression on his face and knew what he was thinking. He was so stuffy that he couldn't bear to do anything to the fourth prince. The people around the fourth prince were affected and were severely taught a lesson. Empress Zhao sent more people to serve the fourth prince and prevent him from contacting the King of Yan.

Empress Zhao was so cautious about the King of Yan, which caused the Emperor's doubts. Why did the mother and son do this? When asked Empress Zhao, Empress Zhao replied, "I am afraid that Si'er will delay the eldest son from doing things for the emperor. Besides, the eldest son has grown up and has a wife to take care of him. I am so worried. What if my daughter-in-law thinks too much? Moreover, Si'er is young, what's wrong with me loving him a little more?"

The emperor was not very satisfied with this answer. He talked about this matter with several confidant court officials, and the court officials said, "There is a saying among the people that the old lady loves the eldest grandson and her mother loves the youngest son." Then they used their own affairs as examples, and finally made the emperor relieve the fact that Queen Zhao loved the fourth prince.

The emperor never expected that Empress Zhao would deal with the fourth prince and King Yan differently, but one was his biological son, while the other was not. The emperor never thought that the one who gave birth to King Yan would be the one who gave birth to King Yan. He used the pretense of drunkenness and forced himself to pull the poor woman Su Lingwan to the bed to defile; he would not know that this matter was actually a trap set by Empress Zhao.

The court had nothing to do with Shen Danxia, ​​and Xu Lang did not let anyone tell her these troublesome things outside. That night, Shen Danxia, ​​supported by Xu Lang, went to bed. Xu Lang hugged her shoulders. Shen Danxia's belly became bigger and bigger, and he could no longer hold it. Xu Lang said in her ear: "It's better to have three sons."

Shen Danxia opened his eyes in surprise. When did this man change his mind? Thinking of his colleagues going to have a wedding banquet today, his bright eyes circulated and asked with a smile: "Why do you suddenly don't want your daughter?"

Xu Lang was silent for a while and said, "Brother Cai cried very sadly today."

Shen Danxia coughed lightly and said, "Some people say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, but in fact, father-in-law and son-in-law are also enemies. No matter how outstanding the son-in-law is, in the eyes of his father-in-law, he is not worthy of his own precious daughter. When the daughter gets married, the father who loves his daughter will feel that he has handed a piece of rare jade into a monkey who does not understand how to cherish it."

Xu Lang was silent for a while and said, "As long as I think about marrying my daughter out in the future, I feel very uncomfortable." Xu Lang grabbed Shen Danxia's hand and placed it on his chest.

Shen Danxia laughed silently. Before the daughter was born, the man started to think randomly, "If everyone had the same idea as you, they would not give birth to a girl or a boy, your son would not be able to get a wife."

"Wife?" Xu Lang frowned, and Shen Danxia occasionally said some words that he couldn't understand.

"It's what my wife means." Shen Danxia smiled.

"How to call husband?" Xu Lang asked curiously.

"Husband." Shen Danxia smiled.

Xu Lang kissed Shen Danxia's face, "Husband and wife, this is very interesting. Will we call this privately in the future?"

"Okay, husband." Shen Danxia had no objection.

"Wife." Xu Lang smiled.

The couple chatted for a while and hugged each other.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Mu'er came to send invitations to Shen Danxia. She was about to get married. On the twelfth day of this month, she married her uncle's nephew Mu Wu.

"Congratulations to you lovers for finally getting married." Shen Dan knew that Wei Xiu'e had an idea of ​​attacking Mu Wei, but she almost made a fuss. If it weren't for Mu Wei's aunt, or Zhang Mu'er's aunt, who designed to expose Wei Xiu'e, Zhang Mu'er would be sad again.

"Thank you." Zhang Mu'er said shyly.

Chen Danxia touched his stomach, "I have prepared makeup, but I just don't go to drink it."

"Even if you want to go, I dare not let you go. Your belly is so big, it looks scary." Zhang Mu'er didn't know that Chen Danxia was pregnant with triplets.

Chen Danxia took out the red gold-headed face that had been prepared and gave it to Zhang Mu'er. After chatting for a while, Zhang Mu'er told Chen Danxia a news, "The Prince of Xiangqing is obsessed with the devil and insists on marrying Qing Gong'er as his wife. The wife of Xiangqing was so angry that she almost vomited. She said that if Prince Zhao wanted to come in, she would step on her body."

"Does the Qing Gonger look as beautiful as a fairy?" Chen Danxia asked curiously. She was bored at home, and Xu Lang didn't let her do many things. She was afraid that the servants would not be able to take her, so she let her two sons stare at her, making her almost become a pig kept by him in the house, eating and sleeping.

"It should be very beautiful, otherwise why would you be confused Prince Zhao?" Zhang Mu'er said with a lip.

"Will you look better than Prince Zhao?" Chen Danxia asked with a frown.

"This..." Zhang Mu'er hesitated. Zhao Chengzhi was already so evil. If someone looked better than him, what would that look like? Zhang Mu'er said that she lacked imagination and could not imagine it.

The two had too far apart in their identities and status. Mrs. Xiangqing Hou firmly disagreed and forced each other to die. Zhao Chengzhi compromised and no longer insisted on marrying this Qing Gongzi as his wife. Instead, he followed the arrangements of the family and married Empress Zhao, the second daughter of the British Duke, 6 Zhao.

"Husband, why do I think this matter is like a conspiracy?" Chen Danxia broke the orange petal and stuffed it into his mouth. If she remembered correctly, the British Duke was Zhao Queen.

Xu Lang beats walnuts and says, "Whether conspiracy or open conspiracy, the left and right have nothing to do with us."

Chen Dan was right to think about it. It was not your own business and it was no longer a matter of work. What Zhao Chengzhi planned with his own marriage has nothing to do with her.

That afternoon, Chen Danxia fell asleep and was drinking milk soup. Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang came over with picture books and said they wanted to tell stories to their sister. They also touched Chen Danxia's belly and asked, "Mom, when will the sister come out?"

Chen Danxia laughed and teased them, "Your father said, let's give up on your younger brother." Doctor Hao took his pulse and said that 70% were three boys. After spending so many years with Doctor Hao, he also knew that Doctor Hao never spoke full words, and 70% of his meaning was basically confirmed.

Zhuangzhuang said: "It's good to have a younger brother, but my sister is so crying." Zhuangzhuang would rather take Kang Kang to play than a slightly older sweet sister.

Pangpang frowned and said, "I want my sister, I have a younger brother."

"But brother, I don't have a younger brother yet." Zhuangzhuang pouted. At a young age, he could clearly distinguish between relatives and distance, and knew that Kang Kang was just his cousin.

"Mom, can't you give birth to your younger brother and sister together?" asked Pangpang.

Chen Danxia sighed, "Son, my mother also wants it, but it doesn't work." She also wants to give birth to a cute little daughter, but she doesn't know if her belly is too strong or too unsatisfied. She is pregnant with three, but she doesn't have a single girl.

Winter is coming and spring comes. Another year, as the spring exam approaches, a rumor spreads quietly. It is reported that someone buys and sells test questions privately; fraud in the imperial examination is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country. The emperor sent someone to investigate the matter while issuing three decrees:

First, the time and location of the imperial examination were changed, and the time was changed to February 18th, and the location was changed from Gongyuan to Taixue Academy. Second, the King of Yan was appointed as the examiner, and the emperor personally participated in the setting of the questions. Third, not only did he want to make a name aside, but he also sent the previous Shujishi to copy the examination papers to prevent the handwriting from leaking his identity.

After three decrees, some people were happy and some were sad. King Yan was happy and smiled at Xu Lang and said, "Mrs. Zun's idea is good. I will copy the test papers. I want to see how those who have drawn the papers will sell favors."

What I was worried about was the candidates who had been working hard and finally bought the exam questions. The most unlucky thing was that the Minister of Rites, who had only been in office for more than a year and served as the chief examiner, was suspended and idle at home. Even if he would not be punished for the time being, his career in this life ended here. Xu Kui was implicated by his son and lost his official position, but he didn't know who was implicated by him.

The disturbing New Year has passed. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Yi's pregnant aunt went to the yard to enjoy the lanterns. She was frightened by a cat that came from somewhere and fell to the ground and was born prematurely. After more than three hours of painful screams, she gave birth to a baby boy in the early morning of the 16th. Xu held the newly born baby boy and shouted loudly: "I have a son, I have a son, I finally have a son."

Qin stood not far away, staring at the door of the delivery room with a gloomy eyes. This woman was so lucky. After falling, she could give birth to a child and make both mother and son safe.

"No one in the mansion has a cat, how could a cat suddenly jump out to scare that aunt?" Sun Zhenniang felt very strange.

The maid next to him patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, it was the aunt who had the accident. If it were the third grandma, it would be amazing."

"If you can't speak, just shut up." Sun Zhenniang said angrily.

Ping glanced at the maid and asked her to step down. He brought a cup of tea to Sun Zhenniang and said, "Miss, I think this may be something that happened between the eldest wife and concubine."

Sun Zhenniang's eyes flashed slightly, and she frowned and asked, "What the wet nurse means, just ignore it if you don't check it?"

Pingshi sighed: "Girl, what if I found it?"

"Forget it, let them catch the cat, don't let it disturb the third sister-in-law again." Sun Zhenniang also knew about the family, so she couldn't control it.

The cat was caught soon, but the aunt who gave birth to Xu Yi did not live until her son was full month old. Ten days later, she died of puerperal fever. Qin naturally kept the baby boy who had lost his biological mother in her room.

"What a cruel heart, he actually took his son and killed his mother." Sun Zhenniang sighed.

Although Sun Zhenniang felt that Qin's behavior was vicious, she could not stand up for the concubine and ask Qin for an explanation. Three days later, the concubine's coffin was sent out from the back door from the Xu Mansion. Sun Zhenniang felt sorry for her and bought her a cemetery for her to make her feel safe.

On the second day of the second month, Yan Suxin gave birth to her and Shen Baiyu's second son. Tao was disappointed. Why was it so difficult for her to want a granddaughter? She put away the small flower clothes and shoes she made with her own hands. Chen Danxia still couldn't attend the child's three-day washing ceremony. She was erecting her huge belly for eight months. She didn't feel it, but the people next to her were frightened.
