The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

The great victory in the West is a great start to the new year.

The whole country of Dayan celebrated.

The whole court was filled with joy and the entire Spring Festival was celebrated with extra joy.

The Yan Dynasty is now in a thriving situation, and the court officials also recognize Zhao Zhen's ability to select and employ people.

Young emperors like to use young ministers, so some older ministers push their second and third generation children to the top.

Zhao Zhen and Zhao Nanxiao were different. At that time, the Yan Dynasty had just been established, and they didn’t know how long the Zhao family could last.

Moreover, at that time, there were princes from the previous dynasty occupying a large area in the Western Regions.

They always have doubts in their hearts and do not work with all their heart, all they think about is how to preserve the family.

Now, things are different from the past.

Now not only has the Western Region been recovered, but the Western Qiang and White Wolf tribes have also returned to the Yan Dynasty. The entire western and northwestern regions have been expanded. Compared with when the previous emperor ascended the throne, the total area has nearly doubled.

Great meeting.

"Your Majesty, the Western Qiang and White Wolf tribes have surrendered. Who should be sent to govern them?"

As the territory increased, many positions were expanded, and many officials who wanted to be appointed to other posts all set their eyes on this piece of fat meat.

Although life is a little harder now, as long as you have made achievements, promotion will not be difficult.

In addition, there were so many additional counties in the Great Yan Dynasty that there were too many vacancies.

The ministers who used to fight like black-eyed chickens are not fighting so fiercely now.

Because there is a lot of meat.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the Minister of Personnel and said, "Wang Zhaoqi, what positions are vacant in the three places?"

So, the Minister of Personnel listed all the vacant positions at the court meeting.

While Zhao Zhen was busy, Qin Wan took her people out of the palace.

For no other reason than because news came from outside the palace that the second wife was about to give birth.

After hearing the news, Qin Wan immediately took a sedan chair to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

"The Queen is here!"

Uncle Zhao didn't expect Qin Wan to come in person, so he hurried forward to salute.

Qin Wan quickly helped Uncle Zhao up. "Uncle, there's no need to be polite. How's Aunt Zhao?"

Duke Anguo was also anxious, "The baby hasn't been born yet!"

Qin Wan immediately walked towards the delivery room, "Second Uncle, I'll go over and take a look."

The Second Madam is different to Qin Wan. To be honest, even the original owner’s mother is not as good as the Second Madam.

Qin Wan was indifferent to Cao Xia.

Qin Wan changed into simple and clean clothes before entering the delivery room.

At this time, Lu Ruying was already in the delivery room, "Empress!"

"Sister-in-law, no need to be so polite!"

The second wife's face is now covered in sweat. She is almost exhausted because of giving birth at an advanced age.

At this time, the midwife was still urging, "Madam, push harder, push harder!"

The second wife's baby was a single baby, so it was also born at full term.

Qin Wan came to the second lady, "Second Aunt!"

The second wife opened her eyes and looked at Qin Wan weakly, "Awan!"

"Awan, if I...if I'm gone, please...take good care of Yi'er."

Qin Wan held the Second Madam's hand and said, "Second Aunt, you will have a safe birth. I gave birth to three children, and you can do it too!"

The second wife thought of the difficulties she had experienced in the past. Yes, they had overcome all those difficulties.

She held Qin Wan's hand tightly and continued to squeeze, "Ah ah..."

“I see the end…”

Not long after, the sound of a baby crying was finally heard in the room.

Uncle Zhao was outside the door, stamping his feet with joy, "It's born, it's finally born!"

The people in the delivery room were also very happy, and the midwives quickly wiped the baby's body.

I was a little disappointed when I found out it was a girl.

If it's a boy, the reward will be higher.

However, fortunately, the baby was born safely, which is a blessing.

The Empress came in person, and the wife of Duke Anguo is so highly regarded. If there is any problem with the delivery, they will probably be sentenced to death.

The Queen has a bad reputation.

Qin Wan didn't know that she had put such a great pressure on the midwives. She looked at the unconscious Second Madam and asked, "Sister-in-law, is Second Aunt okay?"

Lu Ruying quickly felt the second wife's pulse and said with a smile, "It's okay, she just fainted due to exhaustion."

Qin Wan was relieved.

Soon, servants came to clean up for the Second Madam, and the delivery room was quickly cleaned up.

Seeing that the Second Madam was still in a coma, Qin Wan left the delivery room with Lu Ruying.

Lu Ruying is almost a doctor now, because of her status as a woman, the prominent families in the capital like to invite her to take a look when their women are giving birth.

Lu Ruying used to take the pulse of those women, which was much more convenient than having a male doctor.

Although Qin Xiao has a title, his official position is not high.

Lu Ruying is now relying on her own abilities to expand the social circle of the women in the rear quarters of Chang'an City.

When the two came out, they saw Uncle Zhao happily holding his little girl.

"Congratulations, Uncle!"

Uncle Zhao said excitedly: "Congratulations, congratulations, hahaha!"

Uncle Zhao already had a son, and he was even happier when this baby was a daughter.

At this time, Zhao Qing and Qin Ting, who had rushed back from the farm outside the city, also arrived.

"Dad, has my mother given birth?"

When Zhao Qing saw the baby in Uncle Zhao's arms, she was delighted, "It's already been born. Is my mother okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I gave birth to a little sister!"

Qin Wan stayed at Anguogong's house until dark before returning to the palace.

At this time, Zhao Zhen had already been waiting for her in Kunning Palace.

Seeing her smiling face, he asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"girl!"

Juanjuan in Zhao Zhen's arms thought that she was the one being talked about, and immediately started talking to Qin Wan.

Qin Wan smiled and said, "You, you have an aunt who is eight months younger than you."

Zhao Zhen was also happy for Uncle Zhao. He held the fat girl in one hand and swung her around for a bit, "Hello, girl!"

Zhao Zhen used to think that his daughter’s hair was not good-looking, but now he thinks that there is no child prettier than his daughter.

Among the triplets, although the two identical little boys are also good-looking, the little girl seems to be cuter than the boys.

Zhao Zhen and Qin Wan played with the children for a while before letting the wet nurse take all the children away.

"Li Guozhu and his family are returning to Beijing!"

Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Wan, wanting to see what she thought.

"Li Guozhu used to follow Shang Yunze and occupy the northwest. Although he surrendered voluntarily and joined forces with Cao Kun to attack the Western Qiang, he is not suitable for guarding the Western Regions."

Zhao Zhen expressed his thoughts.

Qin Wan burst out laughing, "Your Majesty's decision is correct. Li Guozhu is not an upright person. He is brave but not loyal enough.

If he is allowed to guard the Western Regions, he may become a disaster in the future."

"It would be most appropriate for him to return to Beijing for recuperation."

Zhao Zhen didn't expect Qin Wan to think the same as him. He pulled Qin Wan over and asked her to sit on his lap. "The queen is really talented. She has the same idea as me."
