What happened after the extra selection
Chu Xiuyuan and Chu Xiuming took Chen Jin and Zhao Ru's family to the capital, and then they actually moved into the palace. However, he asked someone to clean up the Prince's Palace and moved there.
Emperor Cheng's empress and his remaining son Chen Zhi have been locked up in the hall. Chu Xiuyuan had no intention of treating them badly, and Princess Ruyang and others did not allow them to walk around at will. The people in Duke Cheng'en's mansion were not so lucky and were all escorted to prison.
During his lifetime, Emperor Cheng was going to choose a son-in-law for Princess Zhaoyang and the others. Later, it was delayed because of the Prince of Ying. At that time, Emperor Cheng's intentions came to his mind, and some aristocratic families expressed their willingness, but now the two princesses are no longer interested. As if they were afraid that Chu Xiuyuan would misunderstand, they told them about the children of the right age in the family that they could not have a wedding ceremony even before the mourning period, but it was okay for the two families to exchange tokens secretly.
Especially the families that the queen hinted at the beginning, they chose them early.
In Chu Xiuyuan's opinion, such behavior was not necessary. Even if he hated Emperor Cheng and Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, he would not vent his anger on these princesses. He was not even prepared to pursue Chen Zhi, but he would not have the possibility of leaving the capital.
When Chu Xiuming came back, Chu Xiuyuan went to the city gate to pick him up. When he entered the palace, Chu Xiuming escorted Chu Xiu away.
These two things were nothing at first glance, but when they thought about them carefully, they had a deep meaning. Chu Xiuyuan told everyone of Tianqi that the relationship between him and Chu Xiuming, although he would change his name and he wanted to become the new emperor of Tianqi, in his heart, Chu Xiuming was still his brother and his family.
Before Chu Xiuyuan ascended the throne, everyone had already proposed the matter of becoming the crown prince Xian and Chu Xiuyuan's biological father, so naturally no one opposed it. Then there were the crown prince Xian and the princes who were killed by Emperor Cheng. Although Chu Xiuyuan hated Emperor Cheng, Emperor Cheng was already in peace. After changing Emperor Cheng's posthumous title, Chu Xiuyuan no longer paid attention to him. Emperor Cheng's empress died in the cold palace after announcing many crimes.
However, Chu Xiuyuan did not move Chen Zhi, but instead granted the title of Chen Zhi, and took out the original Duke Chengen's mansion as his residence. In addition, there were many rewards from many meritorious ministers. Among them, Chu Xiuming had already given the title of King Ning from the Marquis of Yongning, Chen Jin was named the Lady of Ning Kingdom, Chu Xiuyao was named Marquis, King Rui's food and salary increased a lot, and he gave it to Zhuangzi, and the most affordable one was to give his second son Chen Xi... and it was already the second year of Yong'an.
Yong'an is the year number after Chu Xiuyuan ascended the throne. The word An is very simple, but it is what everyone hopes most.
Chu Xiuyuan listened to Zhao Rui's opinion. He no longer had one prime minister in the court like before, but divided the two prime ministers on the left and right. Unlike Emperor Cheng, he valued culture over military affairs. Chu Xiuyuan focused on the equality of civil officials and military generals. It took nearly two years to sort out the chaos of the court that was made by Emperor Cheng. Chu Xiuyuan did not have the scruples of Emperor Cheng at the time and directly sent troops to suppress the remnants of the Prince of Ying. The ones that should be incorporated and all those who were guilty were dealt with.
After the turmoil calmed down, the court mentioned the matter after Chu Xiuyuan's election again. Chu Xiuyuan did not refuse this time and said directly, "I have considered these things for a long time, but now I have no elders." Emperor Cheng's mother, the Empress Dowager, was naturally considered an elder, but she had been taken back to the mansion to support her. At this time, no one would mention this person without a wink.
Shi Yu is now the right prime minister and said respectfully, "Your Majesty can be elected to serve as a harem."
"Now the barbarians have not been destroyed." In just two years, Chu Xiuyuan has already gained majesty on the throne, "Shuzhong places..."
I said a lot, there are many places where Apocalypse still needs to be spent, and it is not suitable for extravagance and waste in such places. "I decided to hand over this time to Mrs. Ningguo."
I don’t know why, although I feel that this is not in line with the rules, many people feel that it really is. Moreover, Mrs. Ning Guo is also considered an elder of Chu Xiuyuan and has the relationship with Chu Xiuming. Shi Yu and Zhao Ru looked at each other and stopped giving any comments. The matter was settled.
Chu Xiuming has not been to court for a long time. When everyone was still worried that Chu Xiuming would take over power, Chu Xiuming had already retreated and is now accompanying his wife and children at home. So after going to court, they learned the news. People said that they had been stupid for three years after they were pregnant. Chen Jin forgot what Chu Xiuyuan had entrusted her to her not long after returning to Beijing. Now that he knew, he poked Xixi who was unsteady and said, "I've recorded it."
Even after returning to the capital, Concubine Chen did not return to Prince Rui's Mansion, but stayed with Chen Jin's side. This was not in line with the rules. However, everyone in the capital thought that he didn't know about this, Concubine Chen was at ease and said at this time, "Isn't it appropriate to leave this matter to you?"
Concubine Chen also knew the importance of the matter of choosing the queen, but this matter fell on her daughter. She was afraid that she would not choose well, but instead she would complain.
Chen Jin said, "Mother, it's okay."
Chu Xiu knew about Concubine Chen’s concerns and said, “Don’t worry, mother-in-law.”
Seeing this, Concubine Chen said nothing, nodded and said, "Is there any success in her heart?"
Chen Jin nodded and said, "I want to ask my mother."
When Concubine Chen heard this, she nodded and said, "It's so appropriate."
Although Princess Rui doesn't go out very much, she doesn't know anything about the capital. Moreover, Princess Rui is busy choosing a wife for her two sons recently. I think this is a long time since she is ready.
Chu Xiuming sat aside, reached out to throw his daughter away and then caught it, making her laugh. Xixi didn't even envy her. She just leaned beside Shen Jin. He could walk, but he didn't like walking. Most of the time he was quiet. However, Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin found that his younger son liked those vivid things very much, especially Xiaobudian. Although Xiaobudian also played with Dongdong and others, he would find that Xiaobudian was closer to Xixi.
Although this is said, Chen Jin has been a little lazy recently. It should be said that since Chu Xiuming was by his side, Chen Jin has become lazy. It is not that he is not energetic all day long, but that he is not willing to go out except to accompany his children and eat and drink. So after Chu Xiuyuan gave him a task, Chen Jin has not gone out, as if he didn't take it seriously at all. This has made people outside anxious. Those who have relatives naturally find ways to come to the door, and those who have no relatives also have to find ways to connect with each other. For a time, the capital became lively. Many people think that Chen Jin was doing this on purpose and wanted to investigate something secretly, which made some people almost have soldiers. Even if there is an extra fruit seller at the intersection of the street, they must observe carefully in secret, and ordered all the servants in the mansion not to bully others with their power.
Many people in the capital were stunned. Looking at the people who were usually above the top, they became gentle and polite. Some even bought money without even taking bribes. They were righteous and even fell on the street, and many people were scrambling to help them.
Chen Jin was either forgot or not cared about her. She was just lazy. She thought about going to Prince Rui’s Mansion to meet Prince Rui tomorrow. However, she didn’t want to move when she woke up every morning, so she pushed it to tomorrow. This kind of pushing it day by day caused misunderstandings from outsiders.
More than half a month passed in a blink of an eye, but there was no news from Chen Jin, which made many people unable to sit still. They found various excuses to come to the door, and even the palace occasionally mentioned it. However, Chu Xiuyuan was not in a hurry at all, but comforted the person. He knew Chen Jin's condition during this period. He also asked the imperial physician to see Chen Jin. The imperial physician only said that Chen Jin was very tired in the past two years, so he became particularly lazy when he relaxed and was not seriously injured. Chen Jin could eat whatever he wanted and sleep as he wanted.
After the imperial physician was diagnosed and treated, Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan were relieved. Chu Xiuyao also handed over the imperial physician and the famous doctors found from the people for treatment. The situation improved day by day. Everyone also found that he seemed to be much more awake and thought, and occasionally called Chu Xiuming's name, which made everyone particularly happy. Chu Xiuyuan directly sent all the doctors to Chu Xiuming's mansion.
Chen Jin finally stopped being lazy this day. After getting up, she hugged the quilt and was stunned for a while, and then asked An Ning and the others to dress her up. It was not grand and prosperous, but simple. After all, it was her mother's family and not a foreigner. She had already passed the time to need gorgeous clothes and decorations to show her happiness.
Chu Xiuming was going to enter the palace today, so he just asked Yue Wen to give Chen Jin. Chen Jin was not taken with him for several children, and the maid only brought An Ning, and the rest were left in the mansion to take care of the children.
When she arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion, the housekeeper came to the door to greet her. Chen Jin felt a little sad when she looked at the familiar courtyard. In just a few years, she went from being an unpopular concubine to a wife of Ningguo. When Prince Rui was present in the mansion, although the chief manager did not deduct the mother and daughter, she was definitely not so enthusiastic. They were all done in public. Chen Jin rarely saw the chief manager, as if everything had changed since she married Chu Xiuming.
Princess Rui was making tea. Chen Jin had learned how to make tea with elegant postures, but she couldn't taste any difference in her feelings. Princess Rui looked at Chen Jin and said, "Sit down."
Chen Jin sat opposite Princess Rui. After Princess Rui made a cup of tea, she poured a cup of Chen Jin first. Chen Jin didn't know what kind of tea this was, but it was good to have a little fragrance of flowers, so she drank a few more sips. Princess Rui also drank some, then put down and smiled, "I think you should be here in the past few days."
"Mother's Mother." Chen Jin said with a smile, "I'm here to ask my mother to help me get an idea."
Princess Rui is a clear person. She had long guessed what Chen Jin meant. After looking at Cui Xi, Cui Xi took a list and handed it to Chen Jin. Not only did it contain the name of a girl of suitable age, but it also wrote about her background and family situation. In just a few sentences, she wrote down everything Chen Jin needed to know clearly.
"I have seen these girls." Princess Rui's voice was slow. Chen Jin had never seen Princess Rui's anxious look. "He has a very good temperament."
Chen Jin glanced at it and found that there were all girls born in the law. There were no such confused people at home. There were only five. Princess Rui asked, "Do you only choose the queen this time?"
"Yeah." Chen Jin said after hearing this, "Your Majesty was raised by the Chu family."
Princess Rui understood immediately. The men of the Chu family always married only one person. They would only take a concubine until they were thirty years old. Princess Rui lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Then find a chance to take the pulse of these five."
Chen Jin looked at Princess Rui in confusion. Princess Rui smiled and said, "Look at how you are." People like Gong Han can't usually see it, but it's a problem with their offspring, so it's better to check it out carefully.
"Oh." Chen Jin nodded and said, "I know Mother."
Princess Rui smiled and said nothing. Chen Jin said, "Actually, I have met my uncle's daughter." The uncle she mentioned was naturally Princess Rui's brother. She remembered that girl was a good person, but she was not on the list.
"Zhao family..." Princess Rui said after hearing this, "It is not suitable for the queen to be released again, it is also my selfishness."
Chen Jin nodded for a while and understood the meaning of Princess Rui. The Zhao family had the merit of following the dragon. Princess Rui's second son Chen Xi was leading troops outside. Zhao Ru is now the left chief. Princess Rui's two brothers Zhao Qi and Zhao Duan are also in important positions. The nephew Zhao Jun and Zhao Che also have a bright future. If there is another queen, it would be too shocking. Moreover, the Zhao family now does not need women to win face for them. Chen Jin carefully put the list away and stopped mentioning this matter. He asked, "Is the big sister okay?"
After Chen Qi returned to the capital, he took his daughter back to the Yongle Marquis' Mansion. In the current situation, the people in the Hou Mansion naturally would not say anything about Chen Qi. However, when Chen Qi left, Yongle Hou wrote a letter to Zhu Yuhong's crown prince to the second son in order to be implicated in the mansion, and even sent Zhu Yuhong to the village. Zhu Yuhong was full of anger and was willing to fall into depravity and took many concubines. Although Yongle Hou was much better to this overlooked son after Chu Xiuyuan's identity was exposed, it was not able to make Zhu Yuhong get close to them. After Chu Xiuyuan entered the capital, Yongle Hou quickly sent someone to pick him up, but he did not come back and wanted to live in the village outside. In the end, Yongle Hou went to pick him up, which made Zhu Yuhong return to the house.
But Zhu Yuhong was not very good to Chen Qi, either beating or scolding him or making big mistakes. Chen Qi felt guilty and was more kind to Zhu Yuhong, but it was counterproductive. Now the crown prince has given him another position, but Zhu Yuhong's relationship with his family is very tense, and he is quite fond of those concubines who followed him after he was in a downturn, which makes Chen Qi not happy.
Princess Rui shook her head. In fact, according to her intention, she just wanted to be with Li. Now the status of Prince Rui's mansion is not difficult even if Chen Qi and Li remarry, but Chen Qi is just holding back his energy and doesn't know what to think, "I chose my life myself, so she can do whatever she likes."
Chen Jin nodded, and after the two of them chatted for a few more words, Chen Jin said goodbye.
