Xinci laughed and shook her head without saying anything.
Because Xinci can't ride a horse, they can only take a car. Although the distance will slow down, they will still arrive at about the same time as the prescribed time when driving day and night.
Fifteen days later, the towering city gate of the Qing Dynasty was already standing in front of them, with people coming and going in front of them, and everyone had a pleasant smile on their faces, as if the war that had just ended a month ago was not given to them at all.
Cause any trouble.
After the carriage drove into the city gate, Duan Daguo first settled his wife in an inn, and rushed to the palace himself.
The Qing Dynasty Palace should be the most luxurious palace in the entire Cangqiu Continent. Although it is not considered a powerful country, I heard that the former Emperor Yin Tiexun of the Eastern Wu was extremely luxurious. After several constructions, the palace has developed into the current one.
scale.
The carriage stopped at the north gate, Duan Daguo got off the carriage and walked forward.
"Who is coming?" A mighty gatekeeper stepped forward.
"Duan Daguo, in the name of the new emperor, came to take office." Duan Daguo said lightly.
In the Qing Dynasty, everyone knew the name of Duan Daguo. Although there were not many people who had seen it, he was the first-class prime minister appointed by the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and it became the focus of public opinion.
When he heard that the person in front of him was the new officer thinking, the soldier hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"I have met the Prime Minister."
"This is Lord Duan." A man in a straight suit walked forward.
“That’s right.”
"In the name of the Empress, Wei Zhong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, here to wait for Lord Duan and ask Lord Duan to come with me."
Along the way, the atmosphere in the palace was peaceful, without the atmosphere of the war just ending. Everyone had a smile on their faces, as if the bloody war was just an illusion.
Duan Daguo was taken to the Imperial Garden. Although he did not look around, the sight of him was already surprised. He was worthy of being the Imperial Garden. It was indeed a flower blooming and extremely luxurious.
"Empress, Lord Duan is asking for a visit." In the pavilion, there was a woman in her simple palace dress, without excessive decoration, and her hair was just a ribbon.
She is the empress of the Qing Dynasty, the empress of the Dragon, and the founder of the Royal Talent Academy?
"pass."
Xia Bingyan looked up and said that she had been waiting for Duan Daguo for a month and finally came, the ninth-rank county magistrate with a highest reputation in Xinze County.
"My minister Duan Daguo has met the Empress."
A very ordinary man, with a simple blue shirt, not very tall figure, with a wisp of beard and a firm look.
"Please get up, Lord Duan."
"Xie Niangniang." Duan Daguo stood up, his hands hanging down on his side, and stood straight on one side.
"Mr. Duan, my palace summoned you from the Dragon to the Qing Dynasty, so that you could manage it on behalf of me and select a group of good officials who serve the country and the people."
"Xie Niang-niang loves you."
"It's not a lot of love. I just saw your son in the palace. He told me that his only wish is to become a clean official like you. Lord Duan is good at teaching his children. I am very pleased."
"The Empress praised it, and the Wei Me is busy with government affairs, which is all the credit of the cheapest ones."
After hearing this, Xia Bingyan smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Mr. Duan also saw that my palace was pregnant and the Qing Dynasty was established at the beginning. The former Eastern Wu, under the rule of Yin Tiexun, had internal strength and glamorous appearance. This important task was handed over to Master Duan.
The purpose is to enable the people to live a good life. This is the key to a strong country. You will not let down the trust of our palace, right?"
After hearing this, Duan Daguo immediately knelt on the ground.
"Please rest assured to you, I will do my best to live up to the Queen's love."
After dealing with the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, Nangong Mo and Xia Bingyan embarked on the road to return to China.
"Do you just believe in Duan Daguo so much?" Nangong Mo asked with a chuckling little woman holding a little pregnant woman in her arms.
Xia Bingyan pouted, "I believe it, if you are welcome, he can call him the first honest official of the Dragon Lord."
Nangong Mo chuckled, this woman always surprised him.
"By the way, I snatched such a talent away, won't you be reluctant to leave?"
"A family, why do you say two things? Even if you want to drive the dragon, I will give it to you." Even if he is hers, do you still care about that country? What he wants is always simple, she is the only one.
After a month of travel, the two finally returned to Yulong, and when the empress dowager saw Xia Bingyan with a big belly, she almost broke her mouth with no joy.
"Oh, Yan'er, this is..." What a surprise she gave.
At this moment, Xia Bingyan was in the Queen Mo's Fushou Palace, and Nangong Mo fell into the imperial study as soon as he came back. In the past three months, many things left behind were piled up into mountains.
"Congratulations to the Queen." The concubines below said something inappropriate.
In fact, Xia Bingyan knew that they wanted her to die now.
"How many months have you been?" This belly is probably six or seven months old.
"Five months, it's still early."
"Just like this, you can live in the Fushou Palace of Ai's family, and at least Ai's family can take care of her." It would be better that she was the first person to watch the birth of the emperor's grandson. She wished her to the Buddha every day.
Pray.
Now it's finally realized.
"What are you doing? I can't stand your long-windedness. I'd better live in Fengqi Palace. Could it be that someone else wants to harm the dragon seed?" She looked at the people below with a smile.
"You can't say that. After all, you are pregnant and have difficulty moving." The empress dowager looked at her lower abdomen happily.
"It's okay, as long as he has something to do..." Xia Bingyan pointed to her belly, "I will clear the Six Palaces. After all, there are many women in the places where there are many right and wrong. In fact, I have already had this plan, but there is no excuse."
The Empress Dowager was stunned, and the concubine below was also stunned.
She said this so easily, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
The Six Palaces of Qing Dynasty? Is it just that Yulong left her the queen?
"Yan'er, this is not something to say." Enriching the harem is a rule set by the ancestors. How can you just say it is abolished?
"So what? Let my husband linger with other women. To be honest, I feel a little disgusting. I obviously feel a little unwilling to do it, but I still have to pretend to be generous on the surface. I really don't know what she is thinking.
"Get up, "Wuqi, go back to the palace."
"Yes, Empress." Liu Xu stepped forward and helped Xia Bingyan and left the Fushou Palace.
During this period, she was not only eating, sleeping, or vomiting.
Even if Nangong Mo is busy, he will always be with her for three meals a day.
However, Xia Bingyan became more and more unhappy.
Since she had a child, her mood has always been depressed from time to time.
She knew in her heart that this is very common in modern times. Pregnant women have a bad temper and will even think randomly.
"Nangong Mo, I'm pregnant now. What if you need it, should you go to another woman?"
