All the boys and girls spent a happy day in the palace.
Being scolded is expected. Little Bao'er has also been used to being scolded by adults over the years. At that time, he was scolded honestly, but he turned around and forgot about it, and didn't take it to heart at all.
In the evening, little Baoer returned home.
Qin Sihun stepped forward and asked, "Has the Queen ever scolded you today?"
Little Bao'er nodded and responded carelessly: "I've scolded you, and I also promised the Queen that I will definitely pass fifty points in the next monthly exam."
This kind of guarantee can be guaranteed eight times if not ten times.
Unfortunately, guarantees are guarantees, and I don’t see much progress in my daily studies.
I think back then, when she was studying at Lianchi Academy, she never fell behind others, and Chen Zhan was also talented in both literature and martial arts. I really don’t know how she could give birth to such a lazy and naughty son.
The more Qin Sihun thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She snorted and said, "Look at Lu Tianyou, look at Sheng Lin, and Li Yu and Li Qin. Everyone's academic performance is better than yours. Even Sheng Ting is better."
Why are you so unsatisfactory! My mother’s face has almost been lost to you!”
Little Baoer retorted plausibly: "What Mom said is too biased. Master said that people are born with different talents and have their own strengths. It is true that they are better than me in academics, but I also have strengths that they are not as good as!
"
"When it comes to swimming or climbing trees, they are not as good as me... Hey! Mom, don't twist my ears, my ears are about to fall off. Hey, oh, oh!"
One scream after another echoed throughout the Chen Mansion.
Er Bao'er and Xiao Bao'er got together and gloated: "Look, eldest brother got beaten again!"
"Who told him not to study hard? My mother scolded him a few words, but he still talked back. If he doesn't get beaten, who will get beaten?"
"We must learn to be smarter in the future and not be as stupid as my elder brother. How can we talk about things like swimming and climbing trees casually in front of my mother?"
"Yes, yes, we won't tell."
…
That night, when Chen Zhan returned home, he saw the gentle and good-tempered Qin Sihun with a sulky face.
Chen Zhan knew what was going on as soon as he saw it. He smiled and stepped forward to coax: "Are you angry with Xiao Bao'er again? I have advised you a long time ago not to always be angry about Xiao Bao'er's schoolwork. He doesn't either
It’s not bad, but there are too many smart and outstanding young men in the world, and our little treasure’s qualifications are barely above average. If you study with a group of young men with good qualifications, it’s normal for you to be last in the exam.”
Normal shit!
Qin Sihun punched Chen Zhan hard in the chest and said, "It's all your fault. You spoil him all day long. You always make excuses for him."
Chen Zhan was almost choked by the punch. He coughed a few times before he regained his breath: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'm too spoiled to little Bao'er, it's all my fault."
A smart man will never argue when his wife expresses her anger. Otherwise, the end will only be worse.
Sure enough, Qin Sihun's suffocation quickly dissipated. She stretched out her hand to rub Chen Zhan's chest and sighed in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm a little angry today. I didn't mean to beat you."
Chen Zhan chuckled and held Qin Sihun's hand tightly against his chest: "If you are in a bad mood, just beat me to vent your anger."
"Smooth talk!" Qin Sihun burst out laughing: "Little Bao'er's mouth is just like yours!"
Little Bao'er is naughty, but he is also very lovable. Everyone in the Chen family loves Little Bao'er. Even Queen Xie in the palace is particularly partial to Little Bao'er.
Chen Zhan raised his eyebrows proudly: "Of course my son is like me."
After a pause, he said softly: "You worry about the three boys all day long, and there is no time to rest. How about we give birth to a gentle and well-behaved daughter who looks like you."
What a wonderful daughter, caring and obedient.
Qin Sihun's heart was pounding, and she quickly shook her head with a grimace: "No, it's better not to have another son. What if there is another son? The three brothers have already made me worry all day long. There must be no more one.
"
That's true. What if there is another naughty boy?
Chen Zhan felt a headache thinking about it and quickly changed his mind: "Forget it, forget it, we won't give birth."
The couple chatted a few words about their son, and naturally mentioned the emperor and empress.
There was a hint of worry on Qin Sihun's face, and she whispered: "The Emperor has been on the throne for nine years. He is twenty-nine years old this year and will be thirty next year. The Queen is also twenty-eight years old this year, so she is not too young. After all,
After all, the Queen Mother's period of filial piety has passed by more than two years. The Queen Mother has not been pregnant for a long time, which is always worrying."
There are no children in the palace, but these four words are particularly heavy.
When this matter was brought up, Chen Zhan had no intention of joking and frowned: "In the past two years, the imperial court has been busy cutting down the vassals and leveling them down. The ministers have no time to care about this. Now that the three vassals are all leveled, General Lian has returned with his troops. There are already people in the court.
I am ready to submit a memorial to ask the Emperor to open up the harem."
As an official, Chen Zhan was extremely well-informed. As far as he knew, there were no fewer than dozens of officials secretly preparing to jointly submit a memorial.
"The emperor and the empress have a deep love, how can they accommodate a third person?" Qin Sihun also frowned.
Chen Zhan sighed: "You are too naive! Once the harem is opened and a concubine is selected, not only the third person, but also the fourth and fifth people will follow."
Qin Sihun was speechless.
The couple looked at each other in silence for a moment and sighed in unison.
Nothing is perfect in this world.
For example, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi are now emperors and empresses. One is in charge of the government, and the other is in charge of the central palace. One reduced the vassal vassal, regained the vassal territory, and established immortal achievements. The other is in charge of the harem, and established a girls' school and charity with a group of classmates.
and a women's workshop, which greatly improved the status of women. The husband and wife were loving and harmonious, and could be called a model of Daqi couples.
The only regret is that I only have one daughter, Ah Luo, and no son yet.
The country has no heir, and people are uneasy!
The ministers have endured until now to present the memorial, which is considered to be patient.
…
As Chen Zhan expected, at the court meeting the next day, more than a dozen officials jointly signed a memorial. The memorial first praised the Queen Xie for being a virtuous and virtuous mother in the world, and so on.
The only regret for such a virtuous Queen Xie is that she has never had any children. She should take the initiative to choose concubines for the emperor to produce heirs.
The emperor on the dragon throne had a pale expression, and could not tell whether he was happy or angry, so he kept the memorial in silence.
However, this memorial is just the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, memorials came one after another to invite the emperor to open up the harem.
Those who submitted the memorial included civil servants and military generals, clan members and vassal kings. Even Queen Xie's father, Xie Jun, personally submitted the memorial, and the words in the memorial were particularly sincere.
The stack of memorials is as high as half a person, which is definitely not a lie.
However, the emperor was as stable as a mountain and did not respond at all.
Soon, another memorial was presented to the emperor to impeach Empress Xie for being "unvirtuous and jealous".
