Chapter 801 Chapter 801
"Fortunately, the mansion is not a small family. It would be suffocating if one in-law and three or five pairs of children were squeezed in a small courtyard. Now in the mansion, even if my second sister-in-law can't stand me, she can't go to Shaohua Garden and chase me out."
The mansion is big, if you really don’t want to see someone, you can just avoid them.
Xu Lingqiao sighed, "Fortunately, the masters of the mansion don't come that often. It's really like Mrs. Mei's place. I heard that the second master has seven or eight concubines who have given birth to children. They are chattering. If it were an ordinary woman, she would really not be able to stand it."
Wherever there are people, there will be disputes.
Moreover, since ancient times, the dispute between wives and concubines has been an important cause of family discord.
If you want to ask if there are men who are monogamous and don't have concubines, there are some, but not many. Especially the high-ranking officials -
Xu Lingqiao looked at her cousin's lively expression and seemed not to take it to heart.
She was even more worried. Having children was difficult. In a few years, the Fourth Young Master might have second thoughts. Guan Zhou would grow old and lose his looks. What would she do then?
Song Guanzhou laughed softly, "Sister, many people can't be as insightful as Second Aunt. She has her own way of managing the mansion. At least, none of the illegitimate sisters and brothers can surpass Brother Hua and Pei Shuyu."
There is a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Although illegitimate children are not suppressed, the resources of the Mei family will not fall on the children born to concubines at all.
The second master was a leisurely man who spent most of the year at the farm. All the important affairs in the mansion were decided by Mrs. Mei and Pei Hua, which saved him a lot of worry.
Xu Lingqiao and Zhang Fanghui listened and nodded repeatedly.
"She couldn't even get the upper hand over the eldest sister, but she is still a strong-willed person. Women shouldn't meddle in men's affairs. The prince has a bad temper. I heard that after the marriage, the eldest sister became pregnant, so he gave the prince several concubines. She wanted to be a virtuous woman, but she couldn't do it in the end. As a result, she got herself upset."
Song Guanzhou chuckled, "Fortunately, my second sister-in-law gave birth to two brothers."
This is the only benefit. Otherwise, if Pei Chen really supports the capable Gao family, it will be even more difficult for Xiao Yinxiu to leave the country.
At night, Song Guanzhou couldn't fall asleep.
Pei An was awakened after tossing and turning for several times. He turned around and hugged his wife, and asked sleepily, "Why is it so hard to sleep?"
I habitually touch my forehead to my forehead, and it feels cold.
"I didn't have a high fever either."
Song Guanzhou sighed, "I'm sorry for waking you up. I drank too much strong tea with my fourth cousin's wife and cousin last night. I feel very energetic and don't feel sleepy at all."
"But did you think of the matter of Miss Yaer?"
Pei An was half-believing and half-doubting, but adhering to the honesty between husband and wife, he still took the initiative to mention Fang Yaer's matter. Unexpectedly, Song Guanzhou shook his head and said, "It's impossible to change this matter, and I don't want to do it. Speaking of which, the Princess of the County came to the capital because of Xiao Yinxiu's secret letter. What about Jin Fuyun?"
Correct!
Jin Fuyun is like a bayonet hanging in front of Song Guanzhou's fate. After her rebirth, she is emotionless and has become Song Guanzhou's biggest concern.
Pei An turned over and lay flat.
"In a few days, after the funeral of Prince An, I'm afraid there will be some actions. I think it's probably to stabilize the marriage with He Jiang."
"Where's His Majesty?"
Ok?
Pei An was puzzled, so Song Guanzhou explained in detail, "Isn't the emperor playing a game of chess? Since he doesn't want to let this marriage go, why does Princess Hong'an need to step in? He Jiang can't back down either."
"Dongjun's delegation came to discuss this, and I heard that they also met with He Jiang privately. The deep meaning of this is not clear, but the current emperor of Dongjun... is He Jiang's half-brother, and he has no children."
"No offspring?"
Pei An nodded, "This matter is extremely secretive, and it was also the information that Second Brother Yan found out. The two little princes who are now being raised in the Dongjun royal court are not the emperor's biological children."
"No...isn't it?"
Song Guanzhou turned over and sat up. "This is so confusing. If she is not his biological child, why did he come to Dalong to ask for a queen?"
"Speaking of this, the Dongjun royal court has been in chaos for the past seven or eight years. The original queen seemed to have been troubled by the two concubines, and the two princes born were banished to the cold palace. Not long after, the two princes, who were less than fourteen years old, died of plague one after another."
Song Guanzhou smacked his lips, "This can prove that Emperor Dongjun can have children. Even so, the children born by the previous empress are gone, but the children born by the other concubines are all there."
Pei An heard this and burst out laughing.
"If it was in Dalong, it would definitely be done this way. After all, the palace rules are strict, and no one dares to disrupt the royal bloodline in the harem."
what?
Song Guanzhou sensed a deeper level of gossip, "Silang, what you said... could it be that Dongjun has a male lover?"
Pei An didn't want to say much, but Song Guanzhou understood immediately.
He could only smile and sigh, "This matter is considered top secret. It is only now that I am in the Ministry of Personnel and have received approval from the higher-ups that the letter sent by Brother Yan passed through my hands. I will briefly tell you about it, and you can just keep it in mind."
Song Guanzhou nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, the mouth can cause trouble, so don't worry."
After saying that, he blinked and stared at Pei An in the dark night. The latter's chest heaved and he let out a muffled laugh, which prompted Song Guanzhou, who was lying in his arms, to urge him on.
"Hurry up, Shiro, to make a long story short, he is a warrior after all, but he dared to cause trouble to the Dongjun Palace——"
"My lady likes these."
Song Guanzhou snorted, "That's right. Recently, Qin Er has been busy with funeral matters, and Miss Ling Huan has been accompanying her sister. No one has been paying attention to my notebook, but it has been quiet for some time."
Pei An held his forehead and smiled bitterly.
"You've read almost a box of notebooks, and you still don't think it's enough?"
"They are all just some nonsense books. There is no reason to read them twice after reading them once. No one in the capital has heard of the newly opened bookstore, otherwise I would have sent Diewu and the others to buy some for us."
Pei An couldn't help laughing anymore.
"You work so hard to do the accounting every day, and when you lie on the bed at night, you don't want to rest early, but read a book. Don't you feel tired?"
whispering sound!
Where does the tiredness come from!
Song Guanzhou rolled his eyes, but unfortunately no one could see it at night. However, Pei An, who had been married to her for so long, actually leaned over and kissed her accurately on the eye.
"Shiro——"
Jiao E was slightly angry and uttered a few scoldings, which made Pei An unable to let go of her.
She wanted to undress and make love with him, but Song Guanzhou couldn't resist her fiery passion and after trying to refuse her twice, he fell.
After a period of lovemaking, Song Guanzhou felt exhausted all over, like a peach blossom in late spring, withered on the bed.
Pei An wiped her clean and said, "She is a court musician. I heard that she is very beautiful and favored by Emperor Dongjun."
etc--
The chaos in the palace walls means chaos for the emperor?
"…He was originally favored by the emperor, but at some point, he had affairs with most of the concubines in the palace."
puff!
