Blessed Daughter

After becoming the emperor, Wei Jin became busier than when he was in Ji Liao. 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 any concubines, and the late emperor did not leave any concubines behind. The staff was simple and there were no troublesome things.

Wei Ruo was quite proficient in matters such as daily personnel management. Although it was more complicated in the palace, the principles were clear and the methods were 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 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 the Imperial Garden also asked her to set aside a piece of land to grow fruits and vegetables.

Occasionally, Wei Ruo could go out for fun after disguising himself in Qiao Zhuang, but he was 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 won't stop him from falling in love with another woman, nor will she stop him from having a harem of three thousand beauties, because she can't stop him if he really wants to change his mind.

What she wants is active and free love, not a tied 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 is 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, they do 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, having someone take care of trivial matters for her, and she could also let go and do the things 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" in private when no one else was around.

She is very satisfied with everything now.

She had no way of knowing what would happen in the future, but that was all for the future, and we would talk about it later when we met.

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

In the first year of Xingning, the climate was still bad, 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 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.

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 unjust 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 heirs, so they supported the emperor's decision not to accept 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. Rumor has it that the Queen had 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 empress, agriculture ushered in its 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.

Queens have peace in their wombs.

The court is stable and the people live in peace.

Is there any reason to repeat the mistake of the late emperor who had many sons competing for the throne 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 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 trades 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 in great prosperity.

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 was in 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 in the imperial mausoleum with the late emperor.

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

His eldest son Wei Yichen and his wife and children continued to stay in the capital, while 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.

Yuan Rui Prince's Mansion.

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

Chu Zhen, 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, the youthfulness of a girl has faded away, and she has gained a bit of the unique charm of a mature woman. Her face is rosy, but her elegance is still the same, and there is no trace that she is nearly forty years old.

The man's face is like a crown jewel, his body is tall and straight, and his light steps show 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 the meal, 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."

"It's me who should thank you for appearing in my life."

"Then let's thank each other."

"good."
