The people of the Mao family soon got the news, and then immediately prepared a generous gift to congratulate them, this matter is too important for them, now Cheng Xiaolian has not ascended the throne, and naturally he has not canonized the queen, but he will ascend the throne sooner or later, there is only one queen in the world, and there must always be a high and low.

As long as Mao Ruoling gives birth to the prince this time, then the queen's position will not be able to run, and the prince is also likely to become the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty does not have the custom of a relative in charge, the status of a relative is also unshakable, the emperor does not look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, and has no real power, but glory and wealth are always indispensable.

So the people of the Mao family were the first to rush to Cheng Xiaolian's house, Cheng Xiaolian naturally knew what they meant, and did not come forward, saying that he was accompanying Mao Ruoling and asked Zhu Fu to send them away.

Cheng Xiaolian dispersed his subordinates and glanced at Mao Ruoling: "The people of the Mao family still can't hold back." ”

Mao Ruoling was stunned: "What does this mean?" ”

"I know that you are a smart woman, and I still have to tell you, I have never favored any of the three of you before, and I will not in the future, as long as the three of you can be like sisters, even if I am a hundred years later, the Mao family is still worry-free, but if it is really a struggle for power and profit, when I return to heaven, it will be the time when the Mao family will fall."

Mao Ruoling sat up with her support: "Your Highness said that I wrote it down"

"This meaning must be let the Mao family know, what I hate the most in my life is cannibalism, since I married the three of you, I will have a bowl of water, the kings of all dynasties have preferred one person, there are those who favor the harem, and there are those who listen to and believe partially, but I will not do this, I said when I married the three of you, I will not marry other women, nor will I favor any of you, if the Mao family has any other thoughts, it is good to dispel it as soon as possible, so as not to look bad in the future."

"Husband, don't worry, I will definitely let them understand this meaning over there, our Ming people are thin and can't withstand internal friction."

At this time, Confucius also rushed to the mansion, and as soon as he came in, he shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what a great joy for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I'll go out for a while, you have to think about your body, what can you say to Du Ruo, believe me, she won't harm you." If you want to eat, tell Zhu Fu, as long as there is something in the world, I will let him get it for you. ”

Saying that, he walked out of the house, Mao Ruoling seemed to have lost all her strength and slowly fell on the bed: But as a woman, who doesn't want to win the favor of her husband alone, but Cheng Xiaolian's words just now have made it very clear that if he really does something out of the ordinary, he won't say anything. Mao Ruoling knew that he didn't want to wronged anyone, but he always had some careful thoughts in his heart, which was not bright and great, but it was the mind of a normal woman.

Now that her hopes are shattered, she doesn't feel anything wrong, she grew up alone since she was a child, and now she has an older sister and a younger sister, if there is a gap because of these things, even if she is the only one who wins Cheng Xiaolian's favor, the road in the future must be very difficult, and as Cheng Xiaolian said, if she really spoils her alone, she will continue to accept concubines in the future, how will she deal with herself at that time?

Cheng Xiaolian went out and saw Confucius: "I said Master Kong, you are louder, and the whole Chengdu Mansion knows about it." ”

"I just want everyone to know, not only the people in Chengdu Mansion know, but everyone in the world knows about it, we have a future in the Ming Dynasty, and we can't die in the Ming Dynasty!"

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly and pulled him to sit aside: "Second Uncle Kong, I still have to ask you something." ”

Confucius was not pretentious, Cheng Xiaolian changed his name and looked panicked, and hurriedly said: "If there is anything, just say it." ”

"The people of the Mao family came over just now, I didn't see them, and I also reprimanded her on the Mao family's side, asking her not to let the tail of the Mao family rise to the sky just because she is pregnant, I will treat all the ladies equally, will I make the Mao family feel cold if I do this?"

Confucius slapped his face: "Your Highness did the right thing, even if Your Highness doesn't say this, I have to mention this matter, Your Highness only married the lady of the three rooms, but these three rooms have some intricate relationships, and the whole body is affected, once Your Highness shows special favor, it will immediately affect the decision-making of the court's civil and military ministers, and then these people will also affect the harem, even if Your Highness wants to check and balance, it will be too late." Once the harem dispute starts, it can't be suppressed. At that time, His Highness will only have a headache left. ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of this scale, this harem can't be messed up, let alone affect the court, the Mao family is not suitable to stay in Chengdu Mansion anymore, let them move to the east, anyway, those descendants of the Guanning Army will also defect to them, where they are suitable." If they are allowed to stay in Chengdu Mansion any longer, it is inevitable to form a party for personal gain. ”

Confucius nodded: "Your Highness's decision is appropriate, I will arrange it, they took the initiative to give up some things, and they can't be wronged." Of course, we still have to have a good New Year, and let's be busy with the New Year today. ”

That night, there was a lot of laughter in the house of Mile Xiaolian, Wen Du Ruo and Situ Bing were just like Cheng Xiaolian said, there was not much mustard in their hearts, they were just happy for themselves, Cheng Xiaolian said at the beginning, if they no longer have children, those ministers in the court can force His Royal Highness to take concubines.

Originally, Cheng Xiaolian also planned to invite some people to come over for the New Year, but now that Mao Ruoling has just become pregnant, it is naturally not suitable to be so lively and tired, so a few of them gathered together, around a small stove, Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "I heard the old farmers in the countryside say before, this happiest day is the wife and children hot kang head, you know the hot kang head, you know?" It's the bed of the north. ”

Wen Duruo laughed: "In this way, you can be regarded as having a complete life." ”

"It's barely a little bit complete, but it's still a lot worse, this child is still in the belly, and it's too little, so we have to work hard."

"Go and go, three sentences will start to be incorrect, fortunately there are no children, otherwise let the children hear what it looks like."

"My wish is that when the world is calmed down, a few of us can still talk and laugh together around the small stove like this, and then you will have to give me a lot of children."

Three days later, the shocking news came from Chengdu Mansion that the Mao family, who were supposed to be the upstarts of the court, had been moved to several cities in eastern Sichuan in one fell swoop.
