Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Qianqian suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes.

She said a little uncomfortably: "But, mother...I have just married into the Ninth Prince's mansion, and you said that you want me to be the master in the future."

"Isn't this... a little too fast?"

Qianqian really couldn't believe it. Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining actually trusted her so much. They let her be the head of the family right after she got married here.

Chen Zhining smiled at Qianqian and handed the key to her, saying, "Since there is already a prince's consort in this mansion, I'll give this key to you. From now on, all matters of the family, big or small, will be managed by you personally."

"Employ people with confidence, and don't employ people you don't trust. Mother believes in you."

"If there is anything you don't understand, please ask Mother in time. Mother will naturally be willing to teach you."

When Qianqian heard this, she immediately bowed to Chen Zhining and said sincerely, "Thank you, mother, for your kindness."

She didn't expect that the prince's wife would be so kind and gentle.

Before I got married, I knew that Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining were both very good people, but I didn't expect them to be so kind and treat me, their daughter-in-law, like their own daughter.

Qian Qian was so happy that she wiped away her tears and bowed respectfully to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, saying, "Thank you, father-in-law, and mother-in-law."

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Qianqian must make good plans for the Nine Emperors' Palace, manage the family well, and have children in the future."

"That is not necessary."

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at each other, then smiled at Qianqian and said, "As for having children, you are still young now, so you can have children in a few years."

Qianqian is probably just 18 years old now. At this age, it is possible for her to have children.

But... Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining thought to themselves that if Qianqian were to marry and have children so soon, it would probably be tiring for her, after all, she would have to take care of all the affairs in the mansion.

Moreover, Qianqian was the daughter of the Imperial Censor before, so her status might not be that high. The house of the Imperial Censor next door was only of average size.

How many people are there in the Ninth Prince's mansion? And can Qianqian sort out the royal family and relatives?

It's better to let her take it easy first.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at Qianqian with clear eyes and said to her, "You don't have to be too hard on yourself or push yourself too hard. We... are not strict elders."

Hearing this, Qianqian immediately burst into laughter, nodded and said with a smile: "You two are indeed not strict elders. Qianqian is willing to talk to you two."

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at each other, and then they both laughed.

They said to Qian Qian: "Okay, we have finished talking, you two can go down."

In addition, Jiang Zhao also called Wen Guang over alone and warned him a few words: "Your wife is still young, so you two should be less rough in bed."

"???"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Wen Guang couldn't help blushing, and he stammered to Jiang Zhao: "Father, you...you..."

"You really made me blush when you said that."

"Hey, what's the big deal? We are all family anyway. It's normal for me to teach you."

Jiang Zhao immediately patted Wen Guang's shoulder and said to him with a smile, "Ah, you are still young. At your age, you should pay more attention to the government affairs. As for this family, everything will be left to Qian Qian."

"Wen Guang knows."

He nodded, then left the main hall with a red face.

After seeing him leave, Jiang Zhao returned to his room with Chen Zhining.

The two of them played chess and drank tea together.

Jiang Zhao was free today, and he was still talking to Chen Zhining: "If Wen Guang hadn't gotten married, His Majesty wouldn't have let me out at all."

"After all, you are His Majesty's most trusted brother, and also his most talented brother. How could he let you go?"

"Yes, the emperor's kingdom seems to be half of mine. Your Majesty really doesn't treat me as an outsider!"

"Give me this time, my brother is very busy."

"Chen Bo is very enthusiastic. He has always wanted to be a loyal minister, but I am different. I don't want to be a loyal minister anymore."

He shook his head, his face looking a little ugly, "You know, it's better for Chen Bo to be a loyal minister."

I am only suitable to be an idle prince.

Seeing Jiang Zhao getting thinner and thinner, Chen Zhining actually felt very distressed.

Chen Zhining quickly patted Jiang Zhao on the shoulder and said to him, "But you don't have to be so anxious. We should just do what our royal brother tells us to do. He won't say anything if we're just a little slower."

"That's true."

Jiang Zhao nodded, and then said, "But the general trend is unstoppable, the mission is on our shoulders, we can't just do it blindly."

"You know, some places and some things are extremely urgent, such as the floods and food shortages in the south of the Yangtze River. How can we act slowly? If we are even a little bit slower, the lives of thousands of people will be affected."

Hearing this, Chen Zhining nodded quickly and said, "That makes sense."

"As for us, we can only wait until Wen Guang gets married, settles down for two years, and has a baby. Then, the emperor will be relieved to let Wen Guang go to other places to do things."

"Besides, our other sons are now gradually growing up and can also assist the Crown Prince."

The current crown prince is Le'er. Thinking of some of the previous events, Jiang Zhao said to Chen Zhining thoughtfully, "Le'er is both civil and military. Our Wenqing and Wenyan have been following our crown prince recently. If there is something going on with the crown prince and His Majesty has any instructions for the crown prince, I guess Wenqing and Wenyan will also have some official positions."

Sure enough, not long after, because Wen Guang got married, there were few young men available in the court, so Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao's sons, Wen Qing and Wen Yan, directly entered the court as officials.

One became the commander of the prince's imperial guards, and the other became a minor general in charge of guarding the city gates.

Wenqing has always been by the prince's side, but Wenyan is about to separate.

Moreover, he often could not return to the Ninth Prince's Mansion because it took too much time to go back and forth at the city gate every day, so Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining simply let him live outside.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining both knew that he might not be able to get used to living outside, so they took their family members to visit Wen Yan every few days.

I heard that Wen Yan gets along very well with General Liu there, and General Liu often takes Wen Yan to live with him, so there is no need to worry about whether Wen Yan can get used to living there.

General Liu is a powerful official of the current dynasty and comes from an old family.

If General Liu had not had no son but only a beautiful daughter of fifteen or sixteen years old, he would probably have been conferred the title of Marquis or Duke long ago.

The emperor felt that it was useless, so he simply named his daughter the Princess of Suyang County and granted her a county near Jincheng as her fief, which was also a great favor.

General Liu thought highly of Wen Yan and praised him a lot. He was willing to take him with him wherever the army went, so the job of guarding the city gate turned out to be quite easy.

But Wenqing was different. Wenqing always followed the prince everywhere. Wherever the prince went, he had to go.

If the prince rides in a carriage, he cannot ride in the carriage with the prince because of his status.

It was really tiring every day. After walking all day long, my feet were covered with blisters.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining felt a little distressed when they saw that he looked listless every night when he came back.

At this moment, in the evening, Wenqing had just returned.

Wen Guang said to his brother who looked a little listless, "Hey, take off your shoes and socks quickly. I asked your sister-in-law to get you some water. Let the maid downstairs wash your feet."

Hearing this, Wen Qing lowered his head a little embarrassedly. He said a little uncomfortably: "No need, big brother."

"My feet have just walked all day, and they are sweaty and smelly. Sorry to bother the brothers and sisters at home, I'll do it myself."

Wenqing is a very polite child. Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining were rushing to the main hall when they heard these words.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining were both heartbroken. They quickly pulled Wen Qing and said, "Oh, alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. You feel bad for letting other servants and maids wash you."

"Well, let your father wash you himself."

Having said that, Jiang Zhao immediately lifted Wen Qing up and took off his shoes and socks.

When I took off my shoes and socks, I saw that they were covered with blisters.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhao was unable to do anything for a moment. He couldn't help but look up at Wen Qing, his eyes full of heartache: "Alas, your brother is more blessed than you. General Liu can take good care of him...but you...ah. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to protect him, he can't break the rules."

As he was talking, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Is Brother Wenqing here?"

Everyone turned their heads and immediately saw a playful girl, it was Chen Baobao.

Wenqing was shocked when he saw Chen Baobao coming.

He quickly moved his feet aside to prevent Chen Baobao from seeing his feet.

This is really embarrassing. Not only are there blisters all over my feet, but I haven't even washed them yet.

Seeing him hiding there, Chen Baobao then noticed that Wenqing's feet were covered with blisters, and immediately! Her eyes changed!

She quickly bowed to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, and said, "Aunt, Uncle, I don't know...what's going on?"

"Oh, your brother Wenqing was injured in the army."

"...It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Chen Zhining quickly pulled Chen Baobao aside.

But Chen Baobao did not avoid suspicion. He rushed in immediately and forcibly twisted Wenqing's feet over.

This scene made everyone stunned!

Wen Guang opened his mouth wide, Jiang Zhao opened his mouth wide, and Chen Zhining opened his mouth wide.

The three of them opened their mouths wide, in perfect sync for a moment, it was actually a little funny.

Baby Chen screamed, "Brother Wenqing, what's wrong with you?!"

"I......"

"Let me apply some medicine to your foot..."

"Oh, no, no."

"Stop talking nonsense. I have to clean your wound first."

As she spoke, she hurriedly brought over the basin of hot water and gently scrubbed his feet with the water, not minding the dirt or odor on his feet at all.

Hearing this, Wenqing blushed immediately.

His face was filled with shame.

He just felt embarrassed: "What are you doing?!"

"......Let me go (o﹏o?)!!!"

"Oh, what are you afraid of? You're not a grown-up girl, why are you afraid of people looking at your feet?"

"Besides, even if she's a grown-up girl, can't we look at her feet? What's wrong with looking at her feet?"

She immediately took Wenqing's feet and massaged them carefully.

Looking at the blisters on the feet, he immediately said, "Brother Wenqing, are you going to work tomorrow? If you are, I'll use some sterilized silver needles to poke the blisters on your feet."

"If it's not working properly, you can let it break down slowly."

"If you go to work normally, you won't be able to walk tomorrow unless you pop the blister on your foot. However, it will probably hurt a little, so please be careful."

Wenqing and Chen Baobao discussed it and decided to pop the blister on his foot.

At this time, Chen Zhining came over with a silver needle.

She glanced at Chen Baobao, who was lying on the ground and treating Wen Qing's wound obediently, and felt something strange.

Alas, this baby Chen probably likes his own son.

But it’s better this way. It’s time for Wenqing to get engaged at his age.

She had known for a long time that there was some entanglement between the two of them.

But now they have discovered it.

It wasn't that he was caught, but Wenqing didn't know how to avoid suspicion.

That's fine.

After she returns, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining plan to take the betrothal gifts to the Chen family to propose marriage. Chen Bo will surely agree.

Chen Bo should also be able to understand the friendship between the two of them, after all, his brother is so smart.

After handing the silver needle to Chen Baobao, Chen Baobao immediately helped Wen Qing deal with the blood blisters.

After about half an hour of treatment, Wenqing's foot was finally healed. The wound was bandaged carefully and a large amount of ointment was applied.

The ointment smelled a bit unpleasant, but it was Chen Baobao who applied it to Wen Qing personally, and it was also the ointment that Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining asked for from the imperial physician in the palace, so the effect was quite good.

Wenqing was very moved and said to Chen Baobao, "Thank you very much, Baobao."

"But...but next time you must not do this. After all, we are a man and a woman, and it is not appropriate for men and women to touch each other."
