Seeing that Wang Jingye had turned the topic to her, Mo Chenxi persuaded him, "Brother Wang is right. It was a boy from heaven who secretly came down to earth. In the future, my sister-in-law will have many children and grandchildren. In a few years, the whole yard will be filled with children's laughter."

Mrs. Wang stopped crying, wiped her tears and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Madam. I originally thought that when the children are older, I would take them back to Guanzhong, let my parents see my grandson, and tell my father that the Nie family has returned to the Ji family. But now..."

She didn't say anything else and sighed.

Wang Jingye said, "I know what my wife is thinking. When the children are well, I will take you and the children back to live with us for a few years. We will move the graves of our parents-in-law back to the Ji family's ancestral tomb. I will discuss this with Chengping later."

Mrs. Wang nodded slowly. She was a married woman, and matters like relocating the grave had to be decided by her two younger brothers.

After Mo Chenxi left the Wang family, Wang Jingye entered the palace and met the emperor at the empress dowager's.

The emperor comforted him with a few words and left. Looking at his cousin's haggard face, he was glad that his son was still alive. Anyone would be sad that his eldest grandson died young.

Wang Jingye told the empress dowager that he planned to take his wife back to Guanzhong.

"Xiangxiang's mother was deeply traumatized by this incident and has never recovered. She keeps having nightmares at night, complaining about her father-in-law's death. I know her father-in-law's death was a knot in her heart, and she finally managed to untie it a little, but because of this..."

Wang Jingye's eyes were moist, not just because of this.

The Queen Mother looked apologetic. She had not expected that her cousin's eldest grandson, who was older, would not survive the vaccination.

"Madam Mo is in the manor. I have sent people, and the emperor has sent people as well. They will take good care of... the little prince."

Wang Jingye forced a smile. "I plan to take Lichuan and his wife back this time, leaving the eldest son in Beijing. It's time for Lichuan to show some filial piety. He's been the most mischievous since he was a child, and Xiangxiang's mother has been worried about him a lot. Leaving him in Beijing, Xiangxiang's mother is worried."

Queen Mother Wang nodded slowly. "That's fine. Just teach your grandson more. Find a good teacher when he's three years old. My son of the Wang family doesn't expect to pass the imperial examinations, but at least it's good for him to study more. Don't let him be like his father...who might try to become a Taoist priest in the future and make you and your cousin worry."

Wang Jingye said solemnly, "I will make arrangements to find him a wife in Guanzhong in the future. I don't ask for a prominent family background, I just hope that she is sensible and can educate our children and grandchildren well."

The cousins ​​looked at each other without saying a word, knowing that after this separation, they might never see each other again in this life.

The Queen Mother looked at her cousin's back and saw that he had aged in the past two years.

I remember a few years ago when my cousin came to Beijing to build a restaurant for the Mo family. He was joking and playing around, and he didn't look like someone who was going to be a grandfather.

All to help her.

She told her cousin about her plan, and he was shocked.

She said, "If squash seeds don't produce pumpkins, try another seed."

She started making arrangements many years ago. Before Empress Shen became pregnant, she had her cousin's second son, Lichuan, confined to his home for half a year for making a mistake. Fortunately, they were all boys and about the same age, so it would be easier to confuse them in the future.

The most important thing is that Lichuan and the emperor are somewhat similar, both of them have royal blood.

She thought that if it didn't work this time, she would have to wait until next time when Queen Shen became pregnant, her brother would come to the capital, and there would also be her second uncle's family. She would always find an opportunity.

Except for the Wang family and the little prince who were vaccinated with smallpox, the rest were vaccinated with smallpox. From then on, she fasted on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

In recent years, Doctor An has tried vaccinating children over one year old, and most of them survived.

In the past few months, she has been kneeling and worshipping the Buddha day and night. What about her own bloodline?

She only hoped that the future emperor would be diligent in his work, love the people, and govern the country with benevolence, instead of focusing his attention on other things.

The Queen Mother did not object to her son's homosexuality, but her son used his power to pursue homosexuality.

Also, in his early twenties, he was already thinking about immortality and secretly letting a Taoist priest into the palace. No need to check, just like his biological father, he wanted to make elixirs.

At that moment, the Queen Mother felt deeply frustrated.

She raised her son personally, but when he grew up, he became just like his biological father.

She was originally hesitant. As long as her son knew how to appoint the right people, worked hard to govern the country, and focused on selecting talented people, so that the world could be peaceful and the people could live and work in peace, then his love for men or women was just a personal hobby.

Who knew that the emperor was bewitched by outsiders? No, it was to get rid of her, the empress dowager. He would rather be bewitched by outsiders to prove that he would be a good emperor without his mother interfering in politics.

Knowing that Eunuch Liang was her confidant, she killed him to imply that he was already the emperor and that her mother should voluntarily hand over power.

If she let go, what would happen to the court? Some ministers, led by the Shen family, had begun to exclude the important officials she appointed and even started to impeach General Xue.

What will happen if the border is in chaos?

The emperor actually said that our Great Yan Kingdom can only be preserved by relying on the Xue family?

The Queen Mother thought of her cousin's father-in-law and admired him. So what if they were related by blood?

The plan was implemented when the child was over one year old. Doctor An had never seen the little prince, and neither had Madam Mo. She deliberately prevented the two from seeing him.

When Doctor An and Madam Mo arrived at the farm, the person in charge had been replaced.

The nanny who accompanied her knew medicine and had been with her since she entered the palace, was responsible for everything at the manor. Doctor An was surprised that the little prince looked like he had chickenpox, but he didn't ask any more questions.

He was a clever man and consulted Mammy on everything.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, which meant that God turned a blind eye and let her plan succeed. The child's face was full of pits, which was also caused by the medicine used by the nanny. The child taken away by the cousin had more pits on his face, and when he grew up, his appearance was no longer visible.

When the emperor's grandson returned to the palace at the age of three, she took him into her palace to raise him. Empress Shen would then have had a second child, and she would be too busy to take care of her eldest son.

I feel so sorry for my cousin, dragging him into this and causing him to lose his eldest grandson.

When Mo Chenxi returned to the He family, her family was surprised and no one asked her where she was going.

The next day, He Wenliang came over to thank his eldest sister-in-law for having both him and his second brother's families vaccinated in advance.

Mo Chenxi said, "It couldn't be said to be for smallpox prevention at that time, for fear of causing panic among the people. Are you and your second brother's family all right?"

"Everything is fine. Fortunately, we are in mourning and not allowed to go out, so we have less contact with outsiders. Several people from Fan's family died, but fortunately they were discovered early and isolated. The imperial physician gave them medicine, and doctors came every day, so two of them survived. In the past, if a family could have one or two people alive, it would be considered a good thing."

He Wenliang sighed. This time it was really thrilling. He didn't dare to look his elder sister-in-law in the eye. It wasn't because he felt guilty, but because what his elder brother said was really uncomfortable.

So he looked away while speaking.

"My sister-in-law is very capable. I couldn't come here, so I rely on her here, and Shanluo and Shankun also help. The children are all fine, and my eldest brother...my eldest brother is also fine."

In fact, he heard from the servants that his eldest brother was so scared that he hid in the house and refused to come out. It was Xiao Mo who took care of him while he ate and emptied the toilet. He hid for two whole months before he dared to go out.

Mo Chenxi didn't want to hear what He Wenyan had to say. She said, "I'm going to Huangzhuang next. I'll probably live there for two years. Please help take care of the family."

He Wenliang agreed without asking any other questions. His sister-in-law wouldn't go to the imperial farm for no reason; it could only be arranged by the court.

The next day, someone from the palace arrived with an imperial decree, conferring upon Mo Chenxi the title of First Rank Imperial Consort, with the title Lady of Filial Piety and Virtue. The decree stated that this was for her contribution to the prescription for preventing smallpox, and that this decree could become a family heirloom.

The imperial edict came with the imperial robe, a bright red phoenix crown and bridal robe. The robe was a long, wide-sleeved gown embroidered with auspicious clouds, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity. The cuffs, collar, and hem of the gown were embroidered with gold thread and bordered with gold.

The shawl hangs down from the shoulders and reaches the ground.

Not only the clothes, but also a phoenix crown inlaid with gems. The phoenix on the crown spreads its wings as if ready to fly, which looks lifelike.

There was also a pair of shoes with auspicious clouds embroidered on the uppers, thick soles, and slightly upturned toes. Mo Chenxi had only seen them in ancient paintings.

Mo Chenxi was short, and looking at the floor-length bridal gown, she wondered if she would look like a candied haws on a short stick when she put it on.
