Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Looking at this development, the girls and boys of the Zhang family who had not experienced the relegation incident all felt that the adults in the family had done the right thing by agreeing to the emperor's conferring a title on their family. After all, if they did not have this title, how could they have a good marriage? They are afraid that they can only marry girls and boys from ordinary families, and that is obviously not what they want to see. After all, people also want to go to higher places.

Just when An Ran was helping the family to pay attention to other girls and boys of the right age looking for marriage, the ship that went out to sea came back.

Since it was the first time to set sail, the fleet did not dare to go too far. Instead, as An Ran told Emperor Yuanfeng before, it would return to the first inhabited and larger city.

According to the instructions of Emperor Yuanfeng, the navy army returned to a larger city. The tea, silk, porcelain, etc. they brought were sold out, especially silk and porcelain. Many rich people liked it very much, and they exchanged for a lot of spices. , gems, gold, etc., made Emperor Yuanfeng make a lot of money.

Seeing that the harvest from sea trade was indeed bountiful, Emperor Yuanfeng spent money to build ships, and at the same time, he loaded the fleet with goods and allowed them to go to sea for the second time. When they came back this time and went to sea for the third time, they would have more ships and earn more money. Too much money.

Emperor Yuanfeng was originally worried that his money bag would be robbed by those wealthy businessmen, but then he thought about it, no matter how rich the owner is, he can't compare to the country's navy. His own navy will be able to build bigger ships in the future. Going further afield, these merchants couldn't compete with him. After thinking about this, Emperor Yuanfeng did not announce that the imperial court would be the exclusive owner of sea trade in the future, but let whoever wanted to do it do it.

Because the interests of the civil servants in the imperial court were not infringed, those civil servants naturally allowed Emperor Yuanfeng to continue to go to sea. Otherwise, if their interests were infringed, they would have to find reasons to prevent Emperor Yuanfeng from going to sea to make money.

So those businessmen in the civil servant group families, seeing that Emperor Yuanfeng was successful, began to build large ships and go to sea. Suddenly, the sea trade in the Great Zhou Dynasty became lively.

An Ran is happy to see this situation. After all, the more developed maritime trade is, the more beneficial it will be for the Great Zhou Dynasty to move across the sea in the future.

At this time, An Ran was also pregnant.

I don't blame her for planning to give birth to the baby herself. It's actually because Zhang's mother and the Zhang family were very worried when they saw that she had never given birth. From time to time, they wanted to see a doctor for her. An Ran didn't want to be bothered by them or see them worried, so she just gave birth to a baby. Pregnant.

Although she was conceived using technology, the sperm of course came from Emperor Yuanfeng. Otherwise, if the child was born and looked different, it would be a disaster. After all, even if there is no DNA testing technology in this era, don’t underestimate people’s The eyes, using the sperm from the sperm bank, cannot tell that the child does not look like the father.

Needless to say, the Zhang family was overjoyed to see that An Ran was pregnant.

Emperor Yuanfeng was also very happy.

Firstly, he dotes on Anran, so he naturally wants her to give birth to a child as soon as possible; secondly, having a son at an old age shows that he is still young and strong, and this sense of pride also makes him very happy.

So now there are piles of rewards.

Emperor Yuanfeng now has income from sea trade. If he is willing, he can give some of that income to the state treasury. If he is not willing, it will be kept in his own personal treasury.

So now to reward An Ran, there will naturally be plenty of money.

And what he did made the other concubines in the palace feel jealous and hateful. In addition, they were afraid that An Ran would give birth to a prince. Emperor Yuanfeng would make An Ran's son the prince in the future, so they were frightened by the incident of Concubine Liu and Concubine Cao. Well, the harem, which had been quiet for a long time, was about to stir up trouble again.

This was expected by An Ran, but she was not afraid at all, because she was now at the fifth level of Qi refining stage, and her spiritual power was deeper. She basically had no problem protecting herself and the fetus in her belly. She felt that the harem's methods I should be able to handle it myself.

Not only can they cope with it, but once they find out who committed the murder, they can also take this opportunity to deal with their opponents and avenge the victims they have harmed before.

The reason why An Ran chose to get pregnant at this time was, firstly, because she did not want the Zhang family to worry, and secondly, because there would soon be a severe drought and turmoil everywhere. She was afraid that she would have to stabilize the court and would not have the energy to get pregnant or give birth, so she It's time to take action. It just so happens that Emperor Yuanfeng still has money due to sea trade, and he has reached the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage. He can monitor more places in the harem without worrying about someone secretly harming him. It is a good time to get pregnant.

After An Ran announced her pregnancy, her main task every day was to raise the fetus. Emperor Yuanfeng no longer stayed overnight except for daily visits, for fear of getting rid of the child An Ran. After all, this was something that he and Concubine Zhang had struggled to achieve. He was expecting a child (he thought), so he naturally had to be careful.

In addition to raising children, An Ran's daily task is to monitor the movements of the harem. She has not paid much attention to the major affairs of the court for the time being. After all, she does not want to make herself so tired.

Fortunately, everyone is focused on sea trade now. When the ministers in the court have something to do, they will not make trouble for nothing. Emperor Yuanfeng has a lot less troubles when he goes to court every day. There is nothing undecided recently. He needs to ask her. , so that she can raise her baby with peace of mind.

When An Ran routinely used his spiritual consciousness to scan the harem every day, he could always detect some small plots of the concubines, but they were somewhat innocuous, so An Ran pretended not to see them. After all, you can't ask everyone to be innocent and kind. That is unrealistic. She will only pay attention to what the other person does if it might hurt her.

This focus quickly emerged.

This is also normal. I am jealous that she is favored, and I am afraid that she will become a prince if she gives birth to a prince. Various emotions are mixed together. I want to harm her, and I want her to die together. Even if they don’t die together, at least the child will not be born. Coming down is normal.

The person who did this was none other than Concubine Wang, the mother of the fourth prince.

The reason why she wanted to do it was because since the fall of the eldest prince and the second prince, her son had become the emperor's favorite son. This inevitably fueled her ambition. She felt that her son might be able to become the prince. After all, Zhang Anran would be favored again. So what, if she has no children, then she is nothing.

As a result, just a few days after she was happy, she heard that Zhang Anran was pregnant. This news was a huge blow to her. How could she bear it?

This person is afraid of losing it once she gets it. She didn't take it at first. In the future, when Emperor Yuanfeng dies, it would be nice to just be a prince and concubine. But now, she feels that she is expected to become a queen mother, so she doesn't want to be a prince or concubine anymore. Concubine.

In addition, she was not a good person to begin with, and had harmed other people before, so when she heard the news, her heart was tormenting every day. She couldn't help it, so she discussed with her grandmother and decided to attack An Ran. .

Although Concubine Liu and Concubine Cao had learned lessons from the past, Concubine Wang held a lucky mentality and thought that she had done many things before without being discovered. If she did it again now, she might not be discovered, so because she couldn't help but , then took action.
