Bei Lingyao said this as she waved to her two little nieces, asking them to come over and have some pastries.
All seven sons of the Bei family have married. The eldest son and the youngest son who got married this year stayed in Beijing, while the other five sons took their wives and children to other places to serve as officials.
There were six Jinshi and two Juren in the father and son family, and the family was prosperous and flourishing.
Unfortunately, the struggle for imperial power was brutal, and the Bei family, being Emperor Shengwu's people, were destined to be involved in it.
Emperor Shengwu is good, and the Bei family is good.
If Emperor Shengwu is not a good person, the Bei family will naturally have a bad fate.

At this point, Ling gritted her teeth and said, "When your grandmother couldn't force your father, she asked your eldest and seventh brothers to go to Prince Fu's mansion to give her money and gifts, but I stopped them. If I weren't ill today, I would have come to the palace to beg you."
