In Wen Xin's bedroom, Jin Shengman asked nervously: "Sister, my husband, the first time he took the initiative to invite a woman to the house. If we just refuse like this, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Wen Xin shook her head after hearing this, and while teasing Chou Chou who had learned to walk, she said, "It is a good thing for your husband to enrich the royal palace, but the woman surnamed Yang has a loss of moral character and has no status yet. She has already conceived a child with her husband. Although this may be blamed for her husband, as a woman, she still has a loss of moral character. Our palace has two more places than other royal palaces, but that's what you earned back by Sister Shengman. You can't give a woman with a loss of moral character so freely!"

Wen Xin's reason is very sufficient. After all, this era is not like later generations. Pregnancy before marriage is absolutely not allowed. And no matter what the reason is, as long as a woman commits this, she will be unqualified in terms of morality. Li Yan, who is far away in Japan, may not even guess that he was beaten to death. It was he who wrote the pregnancy of Wu Meiniang in the letter, which led to Wen Xin's refusal to accept Wu Meiniang as a slut.

Hearing Wen Xin's words, Xijun next to him also said, "Sister Wen Xin is right. There are four magistrates in our palace, one of me, one of Sister Shengman, and the remaining sister Mengxue will enter the palace after the New Year. You have to think carefully about the position of the last magistrate and you must never let go out easily."

Seeing that Xijun, who was a poor man, was also supported, Jin Shengman no longer argued, but a feeling of sourness surged in his heart. Although she was one of the poor, she was only a status. She and Li Yan had no husband and wife at all. Moreover, she had to be careful in front of each other, for fear of angering the other party. After all, her marriage with Li Yan was only for political purposes, unlike Wen Xin and Xijun, who had a deep emotional foundation, so they could refute Li Yan's face, but they didn't dare to.

Wen Xin saw the expression on Jin Shengman's face and thought she was still hesitating about this matter. She smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry. I have already told my grandmother about this. She also felt that the woman surnamed Yang was indecent in virtue, so when her husband came back, her grandmother would talk to him about this matter in person, and her husband has always been respectful to her grandmother, so naturally she will not say anything else."

Jin Shengman saw Wen Xin misunderstanding what she was thinking, but she didn't point it out. She was now smiling and making fun of Clown Chou. Chou, who is one and a half years old, is now active. She ran around in the warm bedroom with two small short legs, and kept shouting in her mouth. Unfortunately, everyone around her couldn't understand what she was saying, and occasionally one or two clear words would pop up, which would immediately make Wen Xin and the others laugh. At the same time, they stuffed the snacks in their hands into Chou's little mouth, which made Chou Chou, who was growing teeth, leak more saliva.

It is already mid-February, and the winter of Siqian this year is coming and going fast. Some time ago, the warm wind blows from the sea, driving out the cold in the city, and the whole city becomes a bit warm. Unfortunately, the indigenous residents of Siqian City have been moved to North Korea and Central and South Korea. Now most of the people living in the city are moved from the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are merchants. However, they do not really live here for a long time, but often come to Siqian to do business, so they simply buy a house in the city. It is not very expensive anyway, and when they have time, they can bring their families here to live for a while.

In the back garden of the Siqi Palace, large cherry blossoms have begun to bloom. Yesterday, Wen Xin and the others held a cherry blossom viewing banquet. A group of women sat under the cherry blossom trees, drinking and reciting poems, and it was very lively. However, a little wind suddenly broke out today, and the temperature dropped a little, so the back garden was much colder than usual.

There is the largest cherry blossom tree in the southwest corner of the back garden. An old woman stood under the tree, her silver hair and the white cherry blossoms on the tree, and she couldn't tell where the hair was and where the flowers were. On the right hand of the old woman was holding a little girl about eleven or twelve years old. She looked very beautiful and cute. She was now staring at her beautiful big eyes, looking left and right, as if she was not thinking about enjoying the scenery.

In addition to the old and young under the cherry blossom trees, a middle-aged woman in a Taoist robe was making tea in a warm pavilion not far away. When the warm pavilion was full of tea fragrance, she shouted: "Mother, Caier, come and taste the tea sent from the south. I heard that it was produced on Wuyi Mountain, and there were less than ten tea trees. It was really hard to find. If it weren't for Liulang's light, we wouldn't be able to afford such expensive tea."

The old woman under the cherry blossom tree is naturally Li Yan's grandmother, Empress Xiao. The little girl she pulled was her granddaughter Caier, while the Taoist nun who brewed tea was Empress Xiao's biological daughter Princess Nanyang. Since they buried Yang Qing in Yangzhou last time, they first lived in the Qi Palace in Dengzhou, and later came to Siqi with Li Yan, so they thought it was a pleasure to let go.

Queen Xiao is from the south and there are such cherry blossom trees in her hometown. It can even be said that the cherry blossom trees in Baekje actually came from southern China. When I saw things in my hometown in this overseas place, Queen Xiao naturally felt particularly friendly, so whenever I had time, I would come to this back garden to sit. Now the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and she stays in this back garden every day.

Cai'er held Queen Xiao to the warm pavilion with her little hands, and then asked her to sit down slowly. Compared to last year, Queen Xiao was obviously older, her back was hunched over, and the wrinkles on her face became deeper. The only thing that remained unchanged was her two eyes. Although it was a bit turbid, the weather-beaten shrewdness did not diminish in half.

After Queen Xiao sat down, she took a deep breath, then looked down at the tea bowl on the stone table. The tea soup in the bowl was bright in color, and the tea fragrance actually contained the smell of shicca. The smell made the heart burst out. Queen Xiao couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, this tea fragrance alone makes people feel a sense of refinement. It is indeed a good tea that is hard to find for money!"

When she heard her mother's praise, the Nanyang Princess also smiled and said, "Mother, this tea is of course good. I heard that the annual output is not much. This time someone gave it to Liulang only only five kilograms. Wen Xin knew that you love tea, so she sent half of it. The rest was given to them. Thanks to Liulang's not love tea, otherwise one more person would have to share the tea."

Seeing that Princess Nanyang, who is nearly fifty years old, there was a rare smile on her face, Queen Xiao felt more comfort in her heart. Her daughter was a strong-willed person. She personally agreed to kill her son of Yuwen. However, since then, she has become a monk and used Taoism to relieve the pain in her heart. She has fewer smiles on her face. Unexpectedly, after staying at Liulang, she seemed much happier than before.

Empress Xiao and her daughter were drinking good tea and enjoying the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms outside the warm pavilion. No one spoke for a moment. Only Caier was not very honest, and she couldn't drink any tea. She picked up the tea bowl and sipped it all, which made Queen Xiao smile at the corner of her mouth, and Caier said with a little anger: "It's so boring. My second cousin is not here, so she is tired of seeing the beautiful scenery."

When he heard Caier mention Li Yan, Empress Xiao stroked her head and said, "Caier, your second cousin is a big deal. He has conquered another country outside. Such achievements are almost enough to catch up with your emperor's uncle."

Unexpectedly, Caier curled her lips after hearing this and said, "My cousin is really the case. What's the point of calling around all day? There is a beauty like a cousin's wife and a beautiful and well-behaved daughter at home. If I were my cousin, I would definitely stay at home every day and never go out again!"

When she heard Caier's daughter's words, Empress Xiao and Princess Nanyang both looked at each other and laughed at each other without saying anything. Caier's eyes suddenly lit up and saw a swing under a tree not far away. She said to Queen Xiao and then ran to play with the swing.

Looking at Cai'er, who was so arrogant and demeanor, there was a spoiled expression on Queen Xiao's face. She now put all her thoughts on Cai'er, but she usually didn't control Cai'er. As long as Cai'er felt happy, she would do whatever she liked, and did not force her to do anything without showing her teeth. After all, as Cai'er's identity, no matter what she did in the future, she wouldn't worry about getting married. It's okay to indulge her now.

Seeing Caier having fun, Princess Nanyang asked the maids around her to follow her and not let Caier fall. Then she looked at Queen Xiao, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mother, my daughter has something unknown, don't you know whether to ask?"

Queen Xiao was stunned at first, and then said softly: "You, my mother and daughter, what else can you and my daughter not ask?"

The Nanyang Princess frowned slightly and whispered: "Mother, Liu Lang is now out. She first occupied Taiwan Island, then destroyed Silla and Baekje. Now even Japan has been destroyed. In this way, Liu Lang now wants people, and even money, and there are places. So, will he..."

Princess Nanyang did not finish her words, but the following meaning was already very clear. Li Yan now has a large population and land, and has the foundation for establishing a country. If nothing unexpected happens, then the next step should be to establish a country and become emperor.

However, Empress Xiao smiled after hearing this, and the shrewd look in her eyes added a little bit. After tasting tea, she said: "Nanyang, don't you see that Liulang now occupies land and destroys the country, but in fact, all this cannot be separated from the support of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, the population alone is greatly restricted. After all, those alien races are not trustworthy, and Liulang still trusts us Han people. So in the next time, Liulang will be backing the Tang Dynasty and attracting the people to live in his territory. Only with a large number of Han people in his hands will Liulang truly have a certain amount of capital!"

"Mother, what do you mean?" Princess Nanyang still didn't understand very much.
