Looking into Xie Jian's deep black eyes, Chen Heng said firmly: "Don't be afraid. No matter how much hardship and difficulty there is, I will face it with you."
Their hearts are together.
In the next few days, the streets were full of Royal Guards arresting people.
From September to October, the new emperor killed hundreds of people one after another.
That day, Shen Heng came to the Meng family, just because Peng Yunzhao was pregnant again, she came to see her.
Mrs. Peng suffered from severe morning sickness and was lying in bed, completely exhausted.
"This pregnancy is even more painful than Sister Yu's. If I had known it would be so painful, I would not have given birth." Mrs. Peng said weakly.
Chen Heng smiled: "Just take a rest, it will be over soon."
Peng nodded. "Xuan Lang went to the new emperor to make a statement yesterday, but was kicked out. I'm too lazy to talk to him about this. Those centuries-old aristocratic families disappear without a trace, and their fickleness is unpredictable. I don't think too much about it anymore."
"Young Master Meng is upright and outspoken, and he follows the right path. He is a blessing to the people. Besides, we still have A Jian and Master Lu in the court, so you don't have to worry." From this point of view, Chen Heng felt that Meng Xuanlang was quite blessed.
"That's true. I've been worrying about this and that for him in the backyard, and there's no point. I've made a fuss, cried, and quarreled, but there's nothing I can do." She had the means to manage the backyard, but she couldn't agree with her husband on court affairs. Every time they talked about it, they would feel unhappy. Peng knew that this was not going to work, so she stopped talking and she had let it go.
Shen Heng smiled.
"Aheng, look at me. I'm already pregnant. Shouldn't your belly also show some movement?" said Mrs. Peng.
Chen Heng touched her belly and said, "It all depends on fate." She didn't have a strong desire to have a child. Perhaps she wasn't destined to be a father yet.
As the two were talking, Qiu Yi ran in and said excitedly, "My lady, the master has been appointed as the Imperial Censor."
"Really?" Mrs. Peng sat up excitedly.
"real."
The Imperial Censor was a fourth-rank official, so Meng Xuanlang had leaped from a clerk to a higher rank. Shen Heng was happy for him: "Yun Zhao, congratulations."
"Madam Shen," Qiu Yi said, "Thank you, sir, for being appointed as the Minister of State."
"Aheng, congratulations to you too." Mrs. Peng was also happy for her acquaintance. Xie Jian and her husband were both only nineteen years old, yet they held high positions, which was extremely rare in the history of the Great Cong.
I also hope that Xie Jian's career will become smoother and smoother. Only Xie Jian can cure Xuan Lang's temper.
In the evening, Xia cooked a table full of delicious dishes to celebrate Xie Jian's promotion.
Min'er came back, and Eunuch Wang also came.
Chen Heng had only met Wang Nei Shi a few times, and he left a very impressive impression on her. His every move was just right, and he exuded the flattery of serving the emperor. This was the first time she had seen someone like him, wearing only ordinary brocade clothes and with a more sincere smile.
"The new mansion is right over there on Dingguo Street. I personally selected it for you. Among all the mansions I've given you, this one is the best." Eunuch Wang said with a smile.
"Well. We'll move the day after tomorrow." Xia was grateful to Eunuch Wang from the bottom of her heart. He was also her son's grandfather, so she regarded him as a family member. However, her status made her still a little reserved.
Wang the eunuch nodded and said to Min'er beside him, "Grandson, do you want to move back? It's only two blocks away from Grandpa's place."
Little Xie Min picked up a piece of meat for Grandpa and said, "If I leave, Grandpa will be all alone. How lonely he will be. My mother has uncles, aunts, and nanny to keep her company. I come back to see her from time to time."
When Eunuch Wang heard this, he was overjoyed. He thought that Min'er said that if he had a son in the future, he would give him his surname. He would wake up with a smile on his face every day.
Therefore, he turned a blind eye to many of Xie Jian's problems and helped wherever he could.
We are a family.
