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

In this way, Mr. Qiu San and Mrs. Qiu San came forward separately. Mr. Qiu San pretended to be a former colleague of the old man of the He family and arranged a marriage for the only daughter of the He family.

"This marriage is a good one. He is the son of the prince's brother-in-law."

Old Mrs. Jiang was a little confused. She remembered that the prince's brother-in-law seemed to be about the same age as her son, and was well-known for his incompetence.

Mr. Qiu Sanye explained: "There are three princes in this dynasty, one of whom is the old prince. This is his family."

Seeing that the other party offered a large betrothal gift and did not ask for a dowry, and that her husband's colleague was the matchmaker, Old Mrs. Jiang thought it was a good match. She was just worried that her two sons had not yet married.

"The prince's father-in-law is seriously ill. He chose your daughter because of her horoscope. You should marry her off quickly to bring good luck. What can others say? If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find such a good marriage again."

Old Mrs. Jiang thought, let it be a good omen. It would be helpful for her son if her daughter married into a good family, and it would also be easier for her son to find a good husband in the future.

In this way, He Yinhua married into the Qiu family and became sisters-in-law with Cao Yue'e, the eldest sister.

Old Mrs. Jiang kept an eye on her husband every day and was also worried about her eldest son's marriage. He Shanluo said that he would study hard and get married after passing the imperial examination.

Mrs. Qiu San would come to the house from time to time in the name of her mother-in-law, saying that her father-in-law's illness would be cured after her daughter-in-law got married, but the fortune teller said that her daughter-in-law could not return to her parents' home.

He Wenliang also arranged for a fortune teller to tell his mother not to go out, fearing that a bastard child would be born if she did.

Old Mrs. Jiang took care of her husband wholeheartedly and never went out.

All four children are married. Cao Yue'e had a difficult delivery, so Mo Chenxi told her not to worry and to have another child after the child was three years old. Now she is pregnant again.

He Jingyi gave birth to a daughter. Fortunately, her mother-in-law was Mrs. Zhao, and she would not make things difficult for her because of this.

In the Wang family, Mrs. Wang’s eldest daughter-in-law, Qin, soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son after being urinated on by the two children.

The second son, Wang Lichuan, just as Mrs. Wang expected, threw his wife home after getting married, lived with his father-in-law in a Taoist temple and rarely came back, as if his wife was married for his parents.

Mr. Nie's eldest son, Ji Lifu, who was a study partner of He Shankun, had originally been engaged to a girl from the Chen family in southern Fujian and also wanted to get married.

Those who are about the same age are getting married one after another, and those who are married have children.

Ji Chengping's eldest daughter married the youngest son of General Xue's mansion and gave birth to a son who looked like his uncle. Madam Xue was already showing signs of dementia, having forgotten that her youngest son was born in her daughter-in-law's womb before her reincarnation. She now treated her great-grandson as her youngest son and insisted on raising him herself.

Mrs. Liao found a fortune teller, who said that her mother-in-law's horoscope was incompatible with her brother-in-law's, and if they stayed together, her brother-in-law would have a short life.

Mrs. Xue still had some memories. She remembered that her youngest son died young, which frightened her so much that she dared not see her "youngest son". She just left all her savings and valuables to her "youngest son".

As expected, He Shanqiao passed the imperial examination at a young age, married the concubine of the second branch of the Xue family and had an eldest daughter. His parents and family lived in the capital, and his grandmother did not return to Xiangzhou. Because of the illness that Old Lady Jiang had, the two families did not need to communicate with each other, and usually only interacted with the Mo family.

After He Shankun got married, he no longer entered the palace as a companion. Mo Chenxi thought it was because the emperor was about to get married.

Mo Chenxi believed that once one got married, he or she would become an adult and no longer need someone to accompany him or her to study. If Ji Lifu from the Ji family didn't go either, she would think about other things.

The emperor is the same age as Shankun, but he got married later than him. His concubines entered the palace one month after his marriage.

Mo Chenxi didn't understand these things. When she returned to her mother's house and saw her father's serious expression, she thought something had happened.

Mo Yuanji asked, "Did Shankun say anything unusual happened in the palace?"

Mo Chenxi shook his head. "He didn't say anything. When I asked him a few more questions, he just said it was good and that he admired the teacher's knowledge."

"Did he say when he would take the exam for the scholar? He must have taken the exam for the student."

"He said there was no rush and he would pass it in one go. I think he was being modest and would wait until Shanluo passed the exam before taking the exam."

Mo Yuanji shook his head and didn't talk about this topic anymore.

"The Empress and the concubines entered the palace a month apart. It's embarrassing for the Empress's family. Was it the Emperor's idea or the Empress Dowager's? Regardless of whose idea it was, mother and son have separated. It's best that Shankun doesn't enter the palace, so as not to harm others. Don't ask him either. It's a good thing he doesn't talk nonsense. He's still young anyway, so it would be good for him to study for a few more years."

Mo Chenxi didn't think so much at first, but after listening to his father's words, he became more cautious and hoped that his son would study hard at home.

Mo Yuanji contacted Eunuch Liang and asked him about his grandson's affairs, but he didn't expect to see Eunuch Liang with both legs broken.

Startled him.

Eunuch Liang said that he had made a mistake and was punished by the emperor, but thanks to the empress dowager's plea for mercy and sparing his life, he would go to guard the tomb of the late emperor when his leg healed.

Mo Yuanji didn't ask any more questions, but he knew from Eunuch Liang's words that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had already made their quarrel public.

Indeed, it was Queen Mother Wang's idea to let the concubines enter the palace one month after the emperor's wedding. Seeing that the queen's family, the Shen family, was ready to make a move, she decided to slap the queen in the face.

The emperor said nothing and was very obedient. He then turned around and found fault with Eunuch Liang. A palace maid accused Eunuch Liang of forcing her to have sex with him. She could not bear the humiliation and resisted to death by hitting her head against a wall.

Originally, the palace forbade eunuchs and palace maids from having sex, and it was even more taboo for eunuchs and palace maids to commit suicide in the palace. The emperor was furious and wanted to execute Eunuch Liang.

Queen Mother Wang pleaded for mercy and only broke Eunuch Liang's legs. After his injuries healed, he was sent to guard the mausoleum.

Looking at the immature emperor, the Queen Mother felt a chill in her heart. No matter how much she taught him, he could not get rid of the bad habits of his ancestors.

The Queen Mother did nothing and remained patient. She wanted to let her son know that she cared about him and was willing to take a step back for him.

Otherwise, she would go and chant scriptures.

She was waiting for her daughter-in-law, Queen Shen, to give birth to a prince.

Mo Chenxi wanted to stay away from the imperial power even more, and no longer racked his brains to think of any modern advanced things or information that could be used to serve the court.

She stayed at home to accompany her granddaughter, hoping to have more children and grandchildren like an ordinary woman.

But the Empress Dowager asked her to enter the palace, so she had no choice but to go in.

She saw that the Empress Dowager looked older than when she first met her, but she was only about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old and dressed like an old woman.

Think about myself, I am also a woman in my forties.

The Queen Mother chatted with her like an ordinary woman, asking if there were any new dishes and saying that it had been a long time since she had eaten noodles made by Mrs. Mo.

Mo Chenxi didn't dare to say that she would cook for the Empress Dowager herself in the palace, but just said that she would go to the farm to cook a few dishes when she had the chance.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "You're getting lazy. Unlike when we first met, you would leave the palace from time to time to relax in Shuangfeng Mountain. Now you're looking forward to holding your grandchildren. Is your wife Shankun pregnant?"

Mo Chenxi replied, "Not yet. Shan Kun got married early, so there's no rush. It's okay to have the baby later. The eldest daughter-in-law had a difficult birth and took several years to get pregnant. It's better to wait until she has a legitimate son first, otherwise she will think too much."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "She is blessed to have a mother-in-law like you."

Just like chatting.

Unexpectedly, the emperor came, and Mo Chenxi quickly stood up and saluted.

The Emperor had grown considerably older than he had been a few years before. He had been a young boy the last time I saw him, but now he was a young man. With his handsome eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and straight nose, he looked a bit like the Queen Mother.

He smiled when he saw Mo Chenxi, "Yes, Madam Mo. The Queen Mother always praises you. I hope you can come to the palace more often to accompany her."

Mo Chenxi was flattered. The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor deeply and smiled, saying, "I just said the same thing to Madam Mo. Others are eager to enter the palace, but Madam Mo seems to be hiding. She won't come in unless I summon her. Speaking of which, I really miss her personally bringing me chickens. She also said that chickens are the most nourishing."

The emperor laughed, "Shan Kun said the same thing. I asked him to bring a bowl of chicken soup that Madam made, but he refused."

Mo Chenxi was nervous because Shan Kun had never mentioned this before.
