Chapter 289
Huilan is about to give birth in the Chinese New Year, and everyone has taken good care of her. Ever since she became the queen, she has not been domineering, but is willing to support the younger generation. Now her brother-in-law and sister-in-law are becoming more and more distinguished, and they are gradually able to take charge of their own affairs when they go out, even better than many
The teachings of the younger members of the clan are even better, and it is hard for anyone to dissatisfy them.
Even Li Chengze was the one who benefited the most. He was said to be tolerant and kind-hearted, able to tolerate his brothers, take care of and teach his younger brothers and younger sisters. Even the second son and daughter also taught him well. He took his children out every New Year and holiday.
He is not afraid when meeting people, he is polite and well-educated, and he has a lively and cheerful temperament. He really teaches with all his heart, and even the clan cannot say a word "no" to him.
Nowadays, the harem is also peaceful. The emperor at that time even had five sons. He will soon welcome a newborn. Counting the unborn ones, there are seven children, which is really not a small number. If the emperor likes Huilan, then let him pamper her.
After many years of observation, the clan finally took the lead and stood on Huilan's side. If someone in the court suggested that people must enter the harem, several uncles would block it.
A cow that doesn't drink water but presses its head will be despised by others and look down upon.
The emperor recently visited the fourth and fifth children. The marriage proposal for this princess was a little more troublesome. They had to see each other for one or two years anyway. After one or two years of preparing for marriage, they went out in three or four years. The land was circled during the New Year.
Get ready to start moving, and once everyone is done moving, you can start building the princess mansion.
Everything went according to plan, including the construction drawings of the prince's palace. However, the prince could be a little late, but the drawings were already there. The clan saw that the emperor had not forgotten his brother and had nothing to say.
The Emperor and the Empress were never vague about important matters. When dealing with their relatives, brothers and sisters, the Empress thought ahead and shouldered the responsibility of upbringing. The clan did not hesitate to side with the Empress. With the clan's strong support, Li Chengze's reforms in the court changed.
It went much smoother.
The Grand Prince took the initiative to stand up and was willing to help Li Chengze reform military affairs. He took the lead and Li Chengze took command. From him, he began to experiment and practice the effects and results of the reform.
Li Chengze was extremely grateful and relied heavily on both the eldest prince and the third prince.
After the New Year's Eve, the fourth princess and the fifth princess were very tired. In order to make this New Year's Eve banquet a success, the two of them worked hard and learned a lot. With this experience, they will be able to control the princess in the future.
The government is out of the question.
Sister Xin followed behind and helped out by running errands and learned a lot of skills. Although she was not in charge, she did learn a lot.
In February of the new year, Hui Lan gave birth to a prince. He was in good health and both mother and son were safe.
This time she was not greatly affected, her body did not lose her cultivation level, she was well nursed back to health, and she fully recovered after her confinement.
Li Chengze was so happy that he once again rewarded Kunning Palace and the entire harem to make faces for her.
He named his son Li Zhuo, and everyone called him Brother Zhuo, ranking sixth.
After hearing the news, Qian Li Yi and others closed their eyes and were completely in despair. The queen gave birth to three children, one daughter and two sons. No matter what, she can explain it to the outside world and internal affairs, unless you kill both sons.
Otherwise, it won't be anyone else's turn to grab the position.
All the officials had nothing to say. Although some people still talked about the rain and dew after this, there were fewer people to cater to them. The purpose of entering the harem was to carry on the family line. The emperor really has no shortage of sons now. If he brings this matter up again and again, he will ask for it.
People are tired of it.
Huilan has finally secured her position as queen, she is a virtuous person in the Li family, and Feng's life is completely secure.
Sister Xin and Brother Gan sat by the bed, watching over their younger brother Zhuo, teasing him. Huilan touched the heads of the two children, feeling satisfied.
"Mom, it's time for my godfather to go to school next year."
Sister Xin is getting more and more able to help her worry about things, and she can even teach her younger brother.
"Yeah, I'm going to study in the study next year. You have to work hard. If you want to get what you want, you have to keep working hard. Being lazy and slipping will make you lose a lot of things. If you don't see it now, you will regret it later. .”
Huilan knew that her son was extremely smart, even far more than Sister Xin. Brother Gan was a very intelligent person. In the past two years, Li Chengze had taught him step by step, and he was no less knowledgeable than other children of his age.
Li Chengze often rubbed his eyebrows and worried. This child is too difficult to teach. He is more worrying than his four sons. His godson is too smart and he can still fool him now. He knows too few words. When he knows the words and has knowledge, It’s not easy to cheat anymore.
Therefore, he had other plans for his brother Li Chengze, and even Huilan had very little room to interfere. After the fourth and fifth children discovered that his brother was smart, they reported it to Li Chengze and did not dare to teach him any more, fearing that they would mislead the younger generation and they would not be able to bear this responsibility.
"Well, I understand. I will work hard. I promise not to be lazy. I was just lazy once. Why do I keep mentioning it?"
Brother Gan lowered his head and pouted, looking unhappy. Children all love to play, and he was no exception. He slipped and ran out to play, but was caught by Sister Xin. Huilan punished him by squatting on a horse and holding the bowl.
"It's okay not to mention it, there will be no next time."
"Remember, I promise there will be no next time."
Brother Gan nodded, acting like a young adult.
"Your father has found a master for you. You will have a master to teach you. I heard he is a very famous Confucian."
Huilan was also looking forward to who could be the little clever ghost's wife.
Li Chengze came back with a list in his hand and his expression was a little heavy.
"Father, you are back. My godfather is going to pour tea for my father."
Sister Xin immediately jumped down to salute Li Chengze and arranged for her brother to pour tea to show off.
"Hey, have you done your homework today?"
"I've done it. I've checked Brother's homework. Father, I'll check it before I take a break. I've also read the notes and picked them out to make approval notes."
Sister Xin reported the situation in a mature and sensible manner. She read through the foldables that Li Chengze left for her one by one, and then divided them into categories. If Li Chengze needed to read it again, he would write a note. If he didn't need to read it, please put it aside in a single door. There is something important. I simply wrote a note and asked him to reconsider, which saved Li Chengze a lot of trouble.
"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind about this?"
"I've found a wife for my godfather, but I'm a little unsure about the choice. Take a look."
Huilan was handed a list of three candidates.
One of them is unknown, but the other two are known to each other. One of them has been circled. He is the head of the Ma family and the queen's biological brother.
Huilan took one look and immediately smiled, "Just him, isn't it just because of this person that you have been hesitating for so long? I think he is very suitable."
"Don't ask the other two people. They are both great scholars working in the cabinet, and their level is not inferior to him."
"No, I think the Ma family is more suitable. First of all, give the Ma family a chance. After all, his family has had a prime minister and won the respect of the late emperor. Mr. Ma did not do anything wrong. The queen's fault cannot be blamed on her father and brother. She My brother has been remarkable in recent years, and has done a lot of good things for the court and the people, otherwise you would not have left him alive.
Secondly, there is no doubt that the Ma family’s level of knowledge is the highest among the three;
The third thing I like about him is his life experience and the foundation of the Ma family. The profound foundation of the Ma family was taught by the old man himself. His age, experience and achievements are solid enough. In the end, he has experienced the most prosperous times, and also
I have been down and out, and now I am the prince's wife. I believe that he has accumulated more years of experience and is calm and wise than others. He is not impatient or impatient, and he will look at problems more objectively, calmly and long-term."
