After Retiring from Marriage, I became the Favorite of a Powerful Minister

Shi Qingluo, an expert in agriculture, opened her eyes after her death and transmigrated into an ancient peasant girl.

In the beginning, she was sold by her family and forcibly taken away to ...

Chapter 680 Absolutely Unique

It was already evening when Xiao Hanzheng returned home after having dinner in the palace.

After taking a shower, he returned to his room.

Shi Qingluo leaned on the couch and read a book, "I'm back!"

As soon as she stood up, Xiao Hanzheng walked over quickly and held her on his lap.

"King Yi entered the palace, and the emperor asked me to talk about my mother's marriage."

Shi Qingluo smiled and asked, "Has the time been decided?"

The imperial edict did not specify the exact time.

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "On the sixth day of next month."

Shi Qingluo was stunned for a moment, "Then it's only more than ten days."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes, King Yi said that it took too long and he was afraid that it would delay my return to North City."

"So I asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate and found that the best day in these months is the sixth day of next month."

Shi Qingluo laughed: "Why are you afraid of delaying your return to North City? It's obvious that he can't wait to marry me."

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Yeah, he obviously can't wait any longer."

"But it's better this way. We can get married sooner and return to North City sooner."

Anyway, my mother is going to marry King Yi. What does it matter if it’s early or late?

Shi Qingluo nodded, "It's not bad to get married early, anyway, we have already prepared the dowry for mother."

What they lacked the least now was money, so they prepared a generous dowry for the mother-in-law.

Not only did he buy a yard, a farm, fields, shops, calligraphy and paintings, furniture, cloth, furs, jewelry, etc., he also prepared a lot of silver bills to keep in the bottom of the box.

Of course, the betrothal gift list given by King Yi was also very considerable, and it could be regarded as the foundation of a noble family.

They did not stay, but prepared to let the mother-in-law take them back to the palace.

The purpose was to give face to her mother-in-law. Even if she married King Yi, they could still support her.

She thought for a moment and asked, "After mother gets married, will she return to Northern Xinjiang with us?"

Xiao Hanzheng said: "King Yi means that one month after they get married, he will bring mother back to Northern Frontier."

"There are still some official matters in the Northern Frontier that King Yi needs to handle."

There has been no movement on the supplies and money that the Ge Kingdom agreed to pay as compensation, so King Yi needs to go and get them in person.

He also needs to negotiate with the State of Ge and deploy some secret forces on the border. Only if King Yi does this can the emperor feel at ease.

Shi Qing nestled in his arms, "That's good, otherwise I really wouldn't want to be separated from my mother forever."

We will be in North City by then, so even if we don’t live together we can still see each other often and go shopping together.

Xiao Hanzheng reached out and touched her belly. "Mom is worried about you. She said she would stay by your side to accompany you during the birth and watch her grandson or granddaughter being born with her own eyes."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Well, I feel more at ease with my mother by my side."

Xiao Hanzheng kissed the side of her face and said, "Let me take your pulse."

Shi Qingluo handed his hand to him, "Okay!"

Xiao Hanzheng stretched out his hand to help Shi Qingluo, then was stunned.

She then used her other hand and took another hold.

He said with surprise in his eyes: "Madam, you are pregnant with twins!"

Shi Qingluo was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, "You mean I'm pregnant with twins?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes, I am sure you are pregnant with twins."

"No wonder your belly is starting to show, it turns out it's because of the twins."

Shi Qingluo also found that her belly was growing a little too fast, and recently she was thinking about whether she should control her diet.

I didn't expect to be pregnant with twins.

Surprise also appeared in her eyes, and she took the initiative to hug Xiao Hanzheng, "Zhengzheng, you are amazing!"

Of course it would be great to have twins.

She used to think it was great to see twins in modern times wearing the same clothes and playing together.

When they were under pressure from their parents to educate her, they both felt miserable together and took turns complaining to her, which was quite funny.

She really didn't expect that she would be pregnant with twins. This is a good thing. Having two at once is enough.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard her words, "My wife is really amazing."

She gave birth to two children for him at once.

Shi Qingluo laughed out loud, "Then we are both amazing."

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her tightly, "Well, two children are enough."

He had always known that giving birth for a woman was like going through the gates of hell. He had originally only wanted to have one child, and he couldn't bear to see his young wife suffer.

It’s great to have two kids at once now!

Shi Qingluo nodded, "I think that's enough."

The next day, Xiao's mother and others were very happy to hear that Shi Qingluo was pregnant with twins, and they took care of her like a porcelain doll.

Xiao's mother was also summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother naturally did not want her youngest son to marry a divorced woman.

It's not that I look down on Kong Yuelan, but it's the mentality of a mother who wants to give the best to her child.

But the youngest son almost became a monk, and he has not been close to women for many years.

He finally finds a girl he likes, and if she objects, he will cry if his son becomes a monk.

Therefore, the Queen Mother quickly accepted the fact.

After seeing Kong Yuelan, she became much more satisfied with this young daughter-in-law and they both got along very well.

So she took the initiative to improve the relationship and did not act like a mother-in-law.

Kong Yuelan was a very easy-going person. When the Queen Mother lowered herself to approach her, she would not refuse or act pretentiously.

Of course, there was no servile flattery, but rather a normal closeness between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

This also made the Queen Mother feel better about her, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became closer.

When Kong Yuelan left the palace, the Queen Mother gave her many gifts.

Therefore, everyone knows that the Queen Mother is satisfied with her daughter-in-law.

Those who had been expecting to see discord between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and the empress dowager looking down on the show of divorcing her younger daughter-in-law, were also greatly disappointed.

Especially the women who once loved and wanted to marry King Yi were extremely jealous.

Two days later, King Yi sent the betrothal gifts to the Xiao family.

The Xiao family had seen the betrothal gift list in advance so they were not surprised, but people from other families in the capital were shocked when they found out.

Those women who envy and hate Kong Yuelan are like those who have eaten lemons and feel sour all over.

How could this divorced woman be so lucky that not only was she favored by King Yi, but he also took her so seriously.

Such a betrothal gift is absolutely unique in the entire Daliang, even including the previous dynasty.

"King Yi's betrothal gift is too shocking. It is richer than the entire family background of the third-rate families in the capital combined."

"That's right. When the late emperor was alive, King Yi was very good at business, and he had a lot of good things in his hands."

"King Yi is still the emperor's most beloved and valued brother, so he will naturally not be short of money and good things."

"Having background and money is one thing, but to be willing to spend so much as a betrothal gift shows how much King Yi values ​​and likes this Princess Yi."

Just when everyone was still marveling at King Yi's huge and terrifying betrothal gift, an imperial edict arrived at the Xiao family.

King Yi took the initiative to ask for the title of Princess for Xiao Baili, and the emperor agreed.

Prince Jin's daughters have all been canonized as princesses. The emperor values ​​his younger brother's daughter the most, so of course she must also have such a status.

The emperor conferred the title of "Princess Yao" on Xiao Baili, implying beauty and preciousness.

This imperial edict shocked the entire capital city. No one expected that King Yi would actually request an imperial edict to confer the title of princess on his daughter before Kong Yuelan got married.

Everyone had the same thought in their mind at this moment: Xiao Hanzheng's mother was too powerful to have allowed the cold and unworldly King Yi to reach such a point.
