Chapter 308 Another
Before going to bed, Shen Heng asked some political matters.
Speaking of politics, Xie Jian had a smile in his eyes.
It was rare to see him so relaxed, and Shen Heng breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that the big bush might last for another few days.
Winter came early this year, with the first snow falling in November.
Although the war was still going on, the court was actually doing practical things to promote the people-friendly economy instead of just going through the motions like before, so the people were still living a comfortable life.
As for the war, the people of the Zhou clan all hoped that the emperor would personally lead the troops to fight and recover the country in one go.
The ministers in the court only expressed one opinion, which was to let the harem give birth to the prince first.
To put it bluntly, anyone will do, as long as they can give birth to a prince. But now, let alone a prince, there is not even a princess.
"Everyone outside is wondering if the emperor is not doing well." Peng came to see Yun Ge'er with her son in her arms. She watched the maids playing with the child while chatting with Shen Heng.
Shen Heng had been having banquets with the ladies in the past few months, and the chief priest's wife had also asked her privately.
Last time, the Empress asked her to host more banquets for these ladies so that they could whisper in the ear of her master and put pressure on the Emperor. So she introduced the Lady of Sacrifice Wine and the Lady of the Imperial Censor. Now, these two ladies have become the Empress's right-hand men.
As soon as the emperor and Xie Jian approached, they came to ask her.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that no matter how close the emperor and Xie Jian were, given the hatred between them, they were not yet at the point where they could discuss private matters.
"Who knows what the emperor is doing?" Chen Heng suddenly remembered something. She and the emperor had even been married in a Zhuyou ceremony, and it was almost... He wasn't uninterested in women. Well, this kind of thing must not be let Ajian know.
"I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze?" Peng waved her hand in front of Shen Heng.
"After giving birth to Yun Ge'er, I always get distracted." Shen Heng quickly used her son as a cover.
"I gave birth to two very handsome boys." Mrs. Peng said with a smile, then sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Peng smiled bitterly: "You still remember Yunrong, right?"
Peng Yunrong, Yun Zhao's third sister, likes the girl Si Qi. Chen Heng nodded.
"She has been locked up in the village. My parents have beaten and scolded her, but she still only has Si Qi in her heart. My parents can't bear to see her wasting her time like this, so they plan to shamelessly return to the Si family, even if it means accepting her as a concubine." Speaking of this sister, Peng's face was no longer smiling. "In order not to affect the reputation of the sisters in the clan, they will tell everyone that Yunrong has died of illness."
"Why can't Yunrong figure it out?" Chen Heng was really puzzled: "If that's the case, without the protection of her family, she will be nothing more than a nameless concubine in the Si family."
"I advised her the same thing in my letter, but she didn't listen. What can we do? Our Peng family and the Si family have always been friends, and both families almost tacitly approved of her marriage to Si Qi. Who could have known that Si Qi would end up marrying Liu Zhiyue? What a bad fate." Peng Yunzhao said bitterly.
Since it was an ill-fated relationship, one should have given up early on. However, Chen Heng also knew that once people fell in love, few would sober up. Moreover, in this era, there were few men who came into contact with them. As the young master of the largest family in Yuezhou, Si Qi's status and excellence were not comparable to other men.
"What I'm most worried about is that after she marries into the Si family, Liu Zhiyue will bully her." Peng Yunzhao was extremely worried.
This kind of thing is inevitable, Chen Heng said: "Yun Rong is already an adult. If she insists on choosing this path, she will have to bear all the consequences of the future by herself."
When you grow up, you have to endure many hardships on your own. Especially in a feudal dynasty like this, if you make the wrong choice, you can imagine how difficult your future will be.
This Spring Festival is particularly lively. The sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere. No matter where you go, every household has its doors open, and it is almost a lively scene of visiting relatives and friends.
