"I respect myself very much."

"Yeah, I'm sorry to the county master."

After more than ten breaths of silence, I heard another sentence, "The arrow is already on the string and must be fired." Then there was no more voice.

So it was a quiet and beautiful night.

Xia Ruoqing woke up early, and she couldn't help turning her head to look at Chen Zhao beside her. In fact, the moment she entered the house, she vaguely guessed that such a day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly and so unexpectedly.

Chen Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, and Xia Ruoqing was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, but then she realized that she was hiding something, so she couldn't help but open her eyes again, and their eyes met each other with an indescribable tenderness. Chen Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he stretched out his eyes.

He grabbed Lushan's claws and was firmly pushed away by Xia Ruoqing before he could reach him.

"The sky is getting brighter, sir, don't let the waves fly anymore."

Chen Zhao smiled, suppressed the evil fire in his heart, put his hands under his head, and looked straight at the person beside his pillow.

Xia Ruoqing felt a little uncomfortable under this bright gaze, and quickly found a topic to ask: "Did you save me because you were greedy for my body?"

"This little lady's body is like the Great Arhat Golden Immortal. Even if the Arhat King Kong smells of it, she will descend to earth to seek happiness."

Xia Ruoqing couldn't help but blush even more, but she still insisted: "I'm asking Sir Sir, don't dodge and talk nonsense!"

Chen Zhao said seriously, "When you were in harmony with Jia Rong Qinse, I could only envy him and drool a little. But Jingqing suddenly asked me to save you. After questioning, he revealed the truth, so he had to save you."

is you."

"You have to save me? Then why do you need Jia Rong to write a letter of separation and expel me from Ningguo Mansion?"

"Jia Rong is forbearing and stern, and extremely cautious. If I didn't pretend to be a womanizer, how could he believe me."

The two of them were silent for an unknown amount of time, only to hear Zicuckoo calling out from outside the house: "Master, it's already dawn, it's time to go to the Yamen."

Zhao Lianqing felt guilty and was so frightened that she sat up and exposed her infinitely beautiful upper body. When she saw Chen Zhao's diarrhea, the fire came out again...

In the end, Chen Zhao got up half an hour later than usual. Zijuan, who was waiting at the door, looked at Chen Zhao with a complicated expression and couldn't help but say, "Master, you haven't done your morning exercises yet this morning."

Chen Zhao's face turned red.

Daily morning exercise is a compulsory course for him. No matter what happened in the past, Qingwen and I have never delayed morning exercise. Now I don’t know what happened.

Qingwen's eyes were full of resentment.

"Haha, the weather is good today, it's sunny and windy." Chen Zhao looked natural and unfazed. He walked out for a few steps, suddenly stopped, looked back at Qingwen and Zijuan, and smiled: "

Do you want to grow taller and taller quickly? Eat more meat and exercise more."

Zijuan: "..."

Qingwen: "..."

Chen Zhao had been out of the yard for a long time, and Qingwen finally came back to her senses. She turned to Zicuckoo and said, "Sister, from today on, let's eat meat vigorously and eat more meat."

"We?" Zijuan blushed.

"Yes! Let's!" Qingwen was very determined.

…

In August, Emperor Xiaode assigned Chen Zhao a position.

Chen Zhao was appointed as the right-hand censor of the Capital Procuratorate to inspect Jiangnan. He went to Jiangnan and dealt with the case of land occupation by the Li family in Changzhou.

In order to make it easier for Chen Zhao to investigate the case, Emperor Xiaode asked Chen Zhao to be reinstated as a member of the Imperial Guard, and he could bring a number of people with him to the Jiangnan Public Office.

In private, Emperor Xiaode summoned Chen Zhao to Wenyuan Pavilion and gave him a speech.

However, in the next half month, Emperor Xiaode was not as anxious as before, constantly urging the Li family case in Changzhou, and never mentioned the matter whether in court or in private meetings with ministers.

With this attitude, the courtiers understood that the emperor only sent Chen Zhao to investigate the case. As for the investigation, it seemed not that important.

But why did the emperor "send Chen Zhao to investigate the case"?

…

Everyone in the government and the public was speculating on the emperor's deep intentions, but the Rongguo Mansion would not ponder this.

Because there is big news in Rongguo Mansion.

Sister Feng is pregnant.

This was originally good news, but the internal performance of Rongguo Mansion was mixed.

It can be said that some families are happy and some are sad.

In the main courtyard next to Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang's hair has turned two gray.

Zhou Rui's family rubbed her head and said, "Madam, don't worry, you just got pregnant, it's not yet certain whether it's a boy or a girl!"

It's not necessarily true. But what if it's a man?

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but have a headache when she thought of this.

You know, I don’t know when, Jia Lian, who could only do mundane tasks for the second house, suddenly changed his appearance, and actually ran back to the Yamen and started working again.

As a result, within a few days, I was promoted from a fifth-rank associate professor to a full fifth-rank general secretary.

This rank suddenly surpassed that of Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry who had spent more than ten years to get to the fifth rank.

The momentum of the big house easily suppressed the second house.

Jia Lian is now in a prosperous official career. If he has another heir, he will have a foundation in a few years. When Baoyu grows up, let alone the title, there will be no Baoyu left in the whole house for her.

Yes, there is a queen in the palace, and the old lady also has precious jade hanging on her head.

But after all, one day, the old lady will leave, and the empress will be beyond her reach.

There is a saying that goes well: If you don’t worry about the future, you will have to worry about the immediate future.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang suddenly stood up and behaved so suddenly that Zhou Rui's family was startled and asked with concern: "Madam?"

"I remember that there are some good golden bird's nests in the warehouse. You go and get them and send them over. Brother Feng has such a happy event, and I am both an aunt and an aunt, so I have to go and see it."

The people in Zhou Rui's family knew that Mrs. Wang would send everyone away every time she was thinking about a problem, so they hurriedly agreed, and after a while they brought the things over and went to Sister Feng's courtyard.

When Sister Feng was a housekeeper, she lived in a private courtyard behind Rongxi Hall.

But now Sister Feng has shied away from her errand and gone to the elder's house to fulfill her filial piety. She has long since moved to the compound where Jia She lives.

Mrs. Wang usually wouldn't go to Jia She's yard, so he asked Zhou Rui's family to go there.

Mrs. Wang was thinking carefully in Rongxi Hall alone.

The master is a useless scholar. He has been working as a foreign minister for more than ten years and cannot be promoted at all. It can be seen that he is a high-ranking and useless scholar. Pearl is gone. Baoyu is still young. The useless person in the palace is the empress in the palace.

What can I do if I don’t support it?

The second room is in such a situation, I'm afraid the first room has already been there to watch the joke.

No wonder Feng Yatou and Lian'er went there.

It's just a second house, so don't let the big house take off.

After all, Baoyu, as the serious young master of Rongguo Mansion, has more status than the cousin of Rongguo Mansion. After leaving Rongguo Mansion, their second wife was nothing in this capital city full of dignitaries.

The uncle of the Zhou Dynasty did not have any title.

Therefore, they cannot leave Rongguo Mansion, and even want to embrace Rongguo Mansion.

Otherwise, if the Rongguo Mansion is lost, how can the second house gain a foothold?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang stood up and went to Rongqing Hall. She had to discuss with the old lady and let him go to school. He was already twelve years old, and he could no longer just play around with the girls in the room, and

What do the sisters look like when they talk and laugh?

If he is not effective, all the hard work and effort of being a mother will be in vain.

…

After Zhou Rui left, only Sister Feng and Grandma Li were in Sister Feng's room.

At this time, Sister Feng, who was pregnant, sat firmly on the bed and looked at Grandma Li in shock.

I saw Grandma Li holding the box of golden bird's nests in her hand. She moved it left and right, and without seeing how to clean it up, she collected a bunch of powder from the corner of the box.

"This is……"

"Second Grandma, this thing often appears in the palace." Nanny Li sneered.

"This is a chronic poison, and the dosage is not large. Logically speaking, there will be no reaction. It will take a few months, and it will show up only after delivery, making it difficult for the fetus to survive. Even adults can save it if they have a chance.

, but also lost the ability to reproduce, and will never have it again."

Grandma Li's tone was calm, and her voice seemed to penetrate the years, reminding her of the thrilling things in the harem.

Looking at her expression, Sister Feng couldn't help but feel shocked.
