Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

Wenshan University returned to Beijing like the wind and left like the wind.

The Zhou family is at the center of the storm.

Because the eldest lady and Prince Consort Zhou divorced, Prince Consort Zhou wrote a letter to release his concubine.

Not only that, the eldest daughter also took away the Zhou family's legitimate son under her name. From then on, he was no longer a member of the Zhou family. He was adopted by his cousin in the Zhou family and changed his surname to Luo, inheriting the family business of Prince Consort Zhou's grandmother.

Prince Consort Zhou, no longer a prince consort, his name was Zhou Xinan. He submitted a memorial to the palace to see the emperor and cried.

The emperor listened with great interest and then said, "Don't worry. If you can't be a consort, you can be his father. I grant the marriage of Princess Qing'an to your son. Although your son has been adopted by the Luo family, he is still your biological son."

Zhou Xinan was shocked. Is there such a thing?

Why does the emperor do things in the same way as the queen?

He saw that although the emperor was looking at him with a smile, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Zhou Xinan accepted the order and resigned, vowing never to enter the palace again, saying that the royal family was abnormal.

The Queen Mother was also surprised when she heard about this.

The emperor granted the marriage on his own initiative?

Princess Qing'an is the daughter of Concubine Jiang. She is eleven years old this year, one year younger than Zhou Fu Ma's son Luo Zi.

But why did the emperor grant the marriage so frivolously?

She went to see the Emperor, but before she could open her mouth, the Emperor said, "Mother, I just remembered. Aren't you thinking about Sister Qing'an's marriage? It wouldn't be a bad idea for her to marry the one adopted into the Luo family. Concubine Jiang always worried that Sister Qing'an wouldn't be able to cope if she married into a large family. Coincidentally, the Luo family is small, and that boy is always registered under my aunt's name. In a sense, Sister Qing'an is getting the upper hand."

After saying this, he smiled and said, "Back then, Concubine Jiang made my mother angry a lot."

The Queen Mother suppressed her displeasure and said, "I never took them seriously."

What I mean is, why be angry?

The emperor's order has been issued, and she cannot say too much, so as not to hurt the harmony between mother and son.

The Queen Mother knew that the Emperor had granted this marriage just to show her that he wanted to gradually break away from her control, starting with small things.

She had previously thought that after a few years when the emperor got married and was able to handle state affairs completely independently, she would retreat to the harem to raise her children and grandchildren.

I also hinted to the emperor.

But the emperor was not even thirteen years old, and he couldn't wait any longer. Was it his personal wish, or was there someone instigating him from behind?

The reason why she chose Zhong Hanlin's granddaughter to be the queen and let Zhong Hanlin continue to be the emperor's teacher was because, apart from that reason, Zhong Hanlin had no ambition and was very strict in teaching.

We need to check the emperor’s other gentlemen.

After all, the Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother. She doesn't want her son to have such ideas, but rather hopes that he has been misled by others.

The Zhou family knew about the arranged marriage and asked Zhou Xinan to repeat several times what he said to the emperor and what the emperor said.

Then, several people from the Zhou family sat together to analyze whether this was the Queen Mother's idea or the Emperor's idea?

Concubine Jiang was so angry that she threw her pillow several times. What if the news of the teacups and teapots being thrown reached the Queen Mother and implicated her own daughter?

Although her daughter Princess Qing'an was a concubine's princess, the late emperor had few children, so each princess had a title.

Your daughter is a noble princess of the royal family, and she wants to marry a prince consort, but she wants to marry a bastard of unknown identity?

Although Prince Consort Zhou's son has been adopted, his biological parents in public are Lady Wenshan and Prince Consort Zhou.

Concubine Jiang felt that this was Lady Wenshan's deliberate humiliation of her, and that it was Lady Wenshan who requested the marriage.

When her sister-in-law was beaten by Wenshan, Concubine Jiang knew about it. She was so angry that she summoned her sister-in-law into the palace and scolded her severely.

Because her niece wanted to enter the palace but she didn't have a sister-in-law, and most importantly, her sister-in-law's brother had a concubine's daughter who was very beautiful and would accompany her niece into the palace as a maid.

No one can tell what goes on in the harem. Maybe the emperor will fall in love with that concubine's daughter?

When the news of the arranged marriage spread throughout the capital, many families breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew that Queen Mother Wang disliked Concubine Jiang, and no one wanted their children to become Princess Qing'an's consort. Wouldn't that offend Queen Mother Wang?

The royal family can bring disaster to the Zhou family. Good, very good. The reputation of the Prince Consort's family is well-deserved.

There is also a Princess Wuyang, and it would be best if she could marry a descendant of the Zhou family in the future.

Mo Chenxi knew all these things because it was Madam Zhao who told her when she came to Zhuangzi.

At first, I was surprised that she looked like a peasant woman now, and I held her hand with heartache.

"How did you become like this? Look at your hands, how rough they are? Your body is not fully recovered yet, so let others do what you need to do. Don't get yourself tired."

Mo Chenxi said, "It's okay. I do some work every day and I feel stronger. I feel better than before. The doctor also said to take it step by step. If I don't move, I will become weaker and weaker."

Mrs. Zhao was relieved. "You can't hear what's going on outside in the manor. It's been very lively recently, with many banquets. My mother-in-law has invited guests several times in a row just to hear what others are saying."

She told the story, and Mo Chenxi marveled at the audacity of the big shrew. She really did it for Luo Yulan.

"You said you betrothed Princess Qing to the eldest daughter's son. Why? Some say the eldest daughter begged the Queen Mother before she left. My mother-in-law said it's impossible. The eldest daughter wouldn't fall in love with Concubine Jiang's daughter. She's embarrassed Concubine Jiang a lot in the past. Concubine Jiang is most afraid of the eldest daughter."

Mo Chenxi knew nothing about what happened in the past, but she had seen the big woman and felt that the big woman was so straightforward in doing things. She would not take the initiative to propose to someone she looked down upon.

What's more, the son under her name became Luo Yulan's son. Based on her love for Luo Yulan, she had to choose a good marriage for this son.

"I think your mother-in-law is right. After all, he is her son."

As for the fact that she lived in the manor, she told outsiders that she was growing crops brought back from overseas for the rich. Mrs. Zhao already knew this when she came last, and she didn't say much else.

Madam Zhao asked in a low voice: "The last time you went to see Prince Zhou's cousin, you didn't see him. Is the rumor true? What do you think about this woman liking other women?"

Mo Chenxi said, "As long as they like each other and don't interfere with others, isn't that good? I've never seen a prince consort's cousin or concubine. I think if they treat each other sincerely, apart from not having children, isn't it better than marrying a bad man? If Prince Consort Zhou really liked his cousin, he wouldn't let her be his concubine."

Madam Zhao nodded. "That's right. I'm open-minded because my mother-in-law treats me well. Otherwise, why would I want to marry a man if I had to watch my husband and his concubines have children one after another? If any woman treats me well, I will spend my whole life with her."

She whispered again, "But I don't like women. I still like men. If women can marry, I'll marry two. They're pretty, speak nicely, and can play the flute for me. My husband sleeps with his concubine in his arms. I sleep with my husband in my arms. How wonderful!"

After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.
