In fact, Huang Qiong finally had a child. As the biological father, how could the emperor be unhappy? Although these three children were somewhat sensitive when they arrived, they were not quite in line with the times. But no matter what, his son has direct biological flesh and blood, and three of them came at once, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of that incident, and it can be regarded as God's compensation for him.
Although Huang Qiong's eldest son came from He Yao, the emperor was somewhat dissatisfied. But no matter what, Huang Qiong had not yet become a concubine, and she was engaged to the Guilin County Prince's Palace, and she kept making excuses to delay it. Without the concubine, the eldest son would naturally have nowhere to talk about. Nowadays, it is common for the rich and powerful to give birth to their eldest son before they get married. It is hard for him to blame this son too much for this matter.
Looking at Huang Qiong, whose face was full of joy, it was obvious that he couldn't sit still. Looking at the look Huang Qiong was looking at him, with almost a look of desire on his face, the emperor knew what he really wanted. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Don't worry, the reward that should be given will be given to you today." In the mansion. Today I will show mercy to you and give you a day off, so that you won’t always complain that I am squeezing you.",
"I will go and report the good news to your mother, making her happy. Then go back to your mansion and see your children. Two daughters and one son, this has never happened in the past dynasties, and it is considered auspicious at this time. . Don’t worry, I can’t treat their mother and son badly. Even if it’s not for your sake, I won’t be stingy for the sake of my grandson and granddaughter.”
After hearing the old man's words, Huang Qiong, who had originally thought of taking this opportunity to ask for a title for He Yao, felt somewhat relieved. Even if the old man is dissatisfied with He Yao, with three children as a foundation, the old man should not make it too difficult for himself in this matter. I'll go to my mother's place later and play some drums. This should be fine.
It was just after Huang Qiong left Wende Hall and rushed to Tingxuexuan. The emperor behind him looked at his leaving figure with a conspiratorial smile on his lips: "It's not that easy to take a day off. In the more than 20 years since I have been in power, I have never had a day off. ?The three children came at the right time, and it seems that what needs to be done can be done."
Huang Qiong, who was anxious to hear Xuexuan's good news to his mother, naturally didn't know what the old man behind him was planning with such a gloomy expression. After announcing the good news to the mother, the mother did not talk too much about the child. After looking at him, he suddenly asked: "How did you get injured, and how did you heal it?"
Huang Qiong was stunned when she heard her mother's question. He didn't expect that his mother would see out his injury at a glance. Under her mother's sharp eyes, how dare Huang Qiong hide anything. He told the truth about how he was injured and how he was treated after the injury. Just after listening to Huang Qiong's healing method, her mother's brows were furrowed.
After taking his pulse carefully, the mother sighed slightly: "Who is that doctor in your house? How could he use such a crooked way of healing? Originally, although your injury was extremely overbearing, you took the normal treatment. It’s not the only way to heal your wounds. Although this method is quick-acting and has certain benefits for your martial arts practice, the side effects are also very obvious.”
Huang Qiong was confused when her mother told her that Dr. Li's treatment actually had side effects. And looking at Huang Qiong, who looked a little at a loss after hearing what he said. The mother sighed slightly and was silent for a long time before saying: "Treat the women around you well from now on. It will not be easy for them to follow you without a name or status and give you children."
"It takes a lot of suffering to give birth to a child, let alone giving birth to three children at once. How much suffering will it cost? Now that you are a father, you should restrain yourself and don't do it too much. It's too ridiculous, set a good example for the children. Don't go to Qin Muchu, don't harm some women. Tonight, I'm going to see that He Yao and nurse her back."
His mother asked him to be kind to the girls around him, but she never said what the side effects were, which undoubtedly confused Huang Qiong. But her mother didn't tell her, so Huang Qiong had no way to ask. Because he knows that if this sequelae is really harmful to his body, his mother will take care of it without him asking. My mother avoided talking about it, so it was probably nothing serious.
There was sudden silence. Jiang turned his gaze towards Huang Qiong to the rockery in Tingxuexuan's courtyard. After a long silence, he said, "Your father talked to me about your wedding last night. Your father's thoughts, How can you really hide it from me? You are just using this marriage to gain some benefits for the court. Therefore, I don’t think this marriage will be a good match. "
"Because I don't want what happened to me to happen again to that girl. You make your own decision on this matter. If you don't want to, I will refuse it for you from your father. When you are older, you can do it yourself. You have a lot of ideas. Now that you are a father, I can't make the decision for you. You don't have to answer me in a hurry. Think carefully before telling me."
These words clearly showed that her mother was not optimistic about Huang Qiong's marriage. It's just that Huang Qiong felt that in addition to the reasonable objection stated by her mother, there should be something else that her mother was hiding from her. What the mother did not say was the key to her objection. It's just that Huang Qiong has never figured out the real reason for her mother's opposition.
He did not think that apart from taking him to practice martial arts, his mother, who had not left the palace for more than 20 years, would get to know the Guilin County Prince. With his mother's ability, Huang Qiong knew that the reason why the old man married the Guilin County Prince would not be hidden from his mother. As my mother said just now, the old man's thoughts cannot be hidden from her at all. But her mother refused to tell the real reason, and Huang Qiong didn't dare to ask.
After leaving Ting Xuexuan, Huang Qiong has been wondering about the real reason for her mother's opposition. It's just that what happened after returning home left him no time to continue thinking about it. When Huang Qiong returned home and saw four people from Fu Yuanshan who were waiting for him and had already decided to go to Shanxi, as well as a mountain of papers piled up in his study, Huang Qiong realized that she had been tricked by the old man.
It turns out that what the old man said about giving himself a day off was to transfer the things that should be done in the palace to his own house. He didn't even expect that these people who the old man was supposed to meet in person would actually be left to him. Looking at the four people who had obviously been waiting for him in the living room for some time, either respectfully or unruly, Huang Qiong scratched his head somewhat.
As a civil servant, Fu Yuanshan looked rebellious as Shanxi Road Envoy this time. After a simple salute, he opened the door directly and said: "Xiaoguan and others are about to go to Shanxi. I have been ordered to come to say goodbye to His Royal Highness. May I ask His Highness, I am going to Shanxi to quell the civil unrest, and what else? What matters do you want me to wait for? I am sent by the Holy Order, and the distant mountains have no choice but to disturb the King of England."
After Fu Yuanshan said these few words, there was silence in the living room. It is said that the former Yanshan magistrate and current Jing Zhaoyi is a thorn in the side that no one can give face to. Today, Huang Qiong has truly realized it. These few words, on the surface, were about asking for instructions, but in reality they were clearly told to Huang Qiong. It is the emperor's wish that I come to see you, but this is not my true wish.
It was obvious that Master Fu didn't want to see him, but Huang Qiong just smiled lightly and said, "I should be the one to ask this question to Master Fu. Now that Master Fu has been appointed as the envoy of Shanxi, he has full authority to deal with the chaos in Shanxi." Matters. Master Fu must have already figured out what to do when he goes to Shanxi. Master Fu, should he tell me how he plans to govern when he goes to Shanxi?"
"Master Fu, please don't forget that although you control the civil and military affairs of Shanxi and are fully responsible for the quelling of chaos in Shanxi, I am the king who has been ordered by the Holy Spirit to take charge of the quelling of chaos in Shanxi. To put it bluntly, I am Master Fu's superior in the court. If Master Fu doesn't reveal his inner plan, how can I support Master Fu in court and provide support later?"
With four ounces of force, Huang Qiong pushed back the nails Fu Yuanshan threw, neither soft nor hard. After hearing Huang Qiong's reply, Fu Yuanshan's face suddenly turned ugly. Indeed, when he received the imperial edict and went to Beijing to meet the emperor yesterday, the emperor said that he was the one taking the lead in quelling the chaos in Shanxi, but it was the King of England who took charge of the matter in the court.
Ask him to ask the King of England directly for instructions if he has anything to do. But Fu Yuanshan, who was aloof and arrogant by nature, did not take Huang Qiong seriously. The British king did a good job in Zhengzhou, but in Shanxi, there were nine prefectures, ten Zhili prefectures, six counties and ninety counties, and millions of people were ruled by them. How could Zhengzhou Prefecture be comparable? So what if a young boy who has only been in charge of one house is a prince?
In Fu Yuanshan's view, without much experience, what good strategies can he come up with? But he couldn't help but answer Huang Qiong's question. Since the emperor has appointed this British prime minister, if he restricts himself in the court, it will be difficult for him to do this in Shanxi. Not to mention anything else, just the food needed to appease the victims is enough for me to drink a pot.
Thinking of this, Fu Yuanshan looked hesitant, but he did not hesitate and said: "It is common among local officials to report three-thirds of natural disasters to a very serious disaster. What is said in those documents is either the real situation or an exaggeration. I don’t know yet whether the situation is worse or not. What the situation is like on Shanxi Road needs to be truly immersed in order to know.”
"The King of England now asked the official what strategy he had to go to Shanxi to quell the civil unrest. Sorry, before understanding the real situation, the official had no way to answer the King of England. The official could only say this, when the time comes After Shanxi, it depends on the real situation. Whether to suppress or appease, it depends on local conditions and circumstances, and cannot be generalized. As for now, it is too early to say anything."
Originally, Fu Yuanshan thought that the King of England would be furious because of his answer, which seemed to have said everything but was actually nothing. After all, although my answer was a pertinent one, if it fell into the ears of ordinary people, it would probably be considered as prevarication. This kind of answer would not make the superior person too happy, let alone this young and energetic prince?
But considering Fu Yuanshan's personality, before he understands the overall situation, he will never make any hasty promises by patting his chest in order to please the superiors. In his view, being so eager for quick success will only make things worse. If you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it. There is no need for you to make those false and empty guarantees.
What was beyond the expectation of several people present was that after hearing Fu Yuanshan's answer, Huang Qiong instead of getting angry, actually nodded slightly: "Master Fu is so cautious, not to please me, before understanding the actual situation. I just kept patting my chest and guaranteeing something, and I feel relieved now."
