A Blessed Daughter

 After becoming the emperor, Wei Jin became busier than when he was in Jiliao. As the queen, Wei Ruo naturally had to deal with the affairs of the harem.

 Fortunately, there was no one in the palace, Wei Jin did not accept a concubine, and the late emperor did not leave any concubines. The staff was simple and there were no troublesome things.

Wei Ruo is quite proficient in matters such as daily personnel management. Although it is more complicated in the palace, the principles are still clear and the methods are common.

In addition, Wei Ruo was involved in matters related to disaster relief, land reclamation and planting in various places. Sometimes he would go to the previous dynasty to participate in political discussions and discuss relevant matters with the ministers through curtains.

 Because of Ji Liao's successful case, the ministers had no objection to Wei Ruo's participation in politics.

 In a sense, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also belong to the same political position as emperor and empress.

 The things they did were more complicated than what they had done in Ji Liao, but with the experience of Ji Liao, they were now quite familiar with it.

In addition, in her spare time, Wei Ruo still failed to change her old habits, and she was also asked to set aside a piece of land in the imperial garden to grow fruits and vegetables.

Occasionally, Wei Ruo can go out for fun after disguising himself in Qiao Zhuang, but he is not too restricted.

Wei Ruo also had a frank conversation with Wei Jin. She told him that if one day he changes his mind, he will let her go. She is not greedy for the position of queen, nor will she fall into hatred because of his change of heart. She couldn't help herself. She lived in the palace because the person she loved was here.

She will not stop him from falling in love with another woman, nor will she stop him from having a harem of three thousand beauties, because she cannot stop him if he really wants to change his mind.

 What she wants is active and free love, not a binding marriage relationship.

Wei Jin also agreed. He did not make too many promises and only said that he would use time to prove everything.

Wei Ruo feels that she is a blessed person. Along the way, she has been lucky enough to meet many people who treat her well, help her, protect her, and advance and retreat with her.

Even though she was fighting for power, she didn't worry about anything.

Although there are occasionally people like Wei Qingwan who make her feel uncomfortable, it does not cause much harm to her.

Now that you are a queen, you should have worried about the affairs of the harem and struggled for power and favor, but none of these things have happened.

 As a queen, she should be able to save worry and effort, and have someone take care of trivial matters for her, and she should be able to do things that she is good at and interested in.

Her second brother: Her husband kept his promise to her. Even though he was the emperor, he treated her as before. Even the name he called her did not change. He still called her "second brother" when there were no outsiders in private.

 She is very satisfied with everything now.

She has no way of knowing what will happen in the future, but that is all for the future, and we will talk about it when we meet him later.

 The following year, the reign name was changed to Xingning.

 In the first year of Xingning, the climate was still not good, but God blessed the cause, and new high-yielding varieties were constantly discovered and promoted, and the harvest gradually enabled the people to maintain their food and clothing.

The disaster situation in various places has improved, and the number of thieves has gradually decreased.

At the same time, the conflict between Daye and the Jurchen tribe eased, and the emperor summoned Xinwu General Xu Zhengyong back to Beijing to make other arrangements.

While waiting for dispatch in the capital, General Xu married Xiumei, the empress's eldest maid. The empress personally presided over the wedding for the two of them. The empress gave her ten miles of red makeup as a dowry. The scene was as grand as any noblewoman in the capital. Get married.

 The next month, Lu Bei, the emperor's first-class bodyguard, resigned from his post and left Beijing, and began to travel around the world.

In the second year of Xingning, the queen was pregnant, and the emperor was overjoyed and ordered a general amnesty for the whole country.

In the same year, Mr. Cui, the Minister of Rites, submitted a petition to the emperor to accept a concubine, but the emperor rejected it on the grounds that the family and country were not peaceful and he had no intention of having a harem.

Most people in the court were grateful for the Queen's achievements for the country and that the Emperor had no worries about his heirs, so they supported the Emperor's decision not to accept more concubines.

In the third year of Xingning, the queen gave birth to her second son, named Chu Zhen.

 In the same year, King Qin, who had been infertile for many years, also had his first child with Princess Qin. It is said that the Queen concubine nursed their bodies back to health.

 Also this year, Fan Chengxu and Xie Ying also had their first child.

The two also ran an orphanage outside the capital, adopting orphans from all over the country, providing them with shelter and teaching them to read and write.

In the fourth year of Xingning, with the joint efforts of the emperor and the queen, agriculture ushered in the first major revival in the past few years. Grain production returned to the level of the tenth year of Renwu, and the national treasury was full.

In the sixth year of Xingning, the queen gave birth to a third son, named Chu Wei. So far, no one in the court has mentioned the idea of ​​the emperor having a concubine.

 The queen will have peace in her womb.

 The court is stable and the people live in peace.

 What reason is there to repeat the mistake of the previous emperor who had many sons competing for reserves and causing internal strife and harming the country?

In the seventh year of Xingning, Wei Mingting, the Marquis of Nan'an, was awarded the title of General. However, he still led troops away all the year round, taking guarding the border and protecting his family and country as his own responsibility, and rarely returned to Beijing.

 In the ninth year of Xingning, the queen gave birth to a daughter, named Chu Yue.

 This year was another good harvest year. With agriculture as the foundation, other trade also prospered, and the overall economic level of the Daye Dynasty returned to the heyday of the dynasty.

 In the twelfth year of Xingning, Wei Yichen became the chief minister of the cabinet, and the Nanning Marquis Mansion was at its peak.

 In the 16th year of Xingning, the Daye Dynasty ushered in unprecedented prosperity. The tax revenue collected that year reached an unprecedented level, and all the surrounding small countries came to congratulate them.

 In the eighteenth year of Xingning, the emperor was seriously ill and the prince took charge of the country. In the winter of the same year, the emperor died and the prince Chu Yan succeeded to the throne.

In the spring of the following year, the Queen Mother became ill because she missed the late emperor. She could not bear the illness. She died half a month later and was buried with the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum.

Marquis Wei Mingting of Nan'an returned to Beijing for the funeral. After attending the funeral of the Queen Mother, he resigned from the emperor and received the emperor's grace to go to Taizhou Prefecture with his family.

His eldest son Wei Yichen and his wife and children continued to stay in the capital. His second son Wei Yilin and his wife and children went to Taizhou Prefecture with his father and served as a garrison guard in Taizhou Prefecture.

  After three months.

Jiliao City.

 Original Prince Rui’s Mansion.

 The original plaque was removed and replaced with the plaque of Prince Fu's Mansion.

Chuzhen, the second son of the late emperor, was granted the title of King Fu and the land of Jiliao.

 But in the mansion where Prince Fu was supposed to stay, there were two middle-aged people in their forties.

Although the woman is getting older, her youthfulness has faded away and she has gained a bit of the unique charm of a mature woman. Her face is rosy and her elegance is still the same, and she cannot tell that she is nearly forty years old.

The man has a face like a crown jewel, a tall and straight posture, and a light step that shows his strong inner strength. When he is quiet, he is as elegant as a scholar.

At dusk, the woman cooked some home-cooked dishes herself, and the couple had a simple dinner in the courtyard of Songzhuyuan.

After dinner, the two took a nap in the courtyard. The woman nestled in the man's arms, reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun.

 “Second brother.”

"Um."

"Thank you."

  “Why?”

 “Thank you for being with me throughout my life.”

 “I should thank you for appearing in my life.”

 “Then let’s thank each other.”
