I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Chapter 242 Dai Meng is a guest and Han Yu is happy

An Muxi invited Dai Meng and his wife, as well as his elder brother Bai Jingchen and his wife to visit the Prince's Mansion.

Both couples brought their children.

The adults were drinking tea and chatting in the yard. Men and women sat at separate tables, watching the little kids playing together.

Bai Jingchen's son is named Bai Jingyu. He is a few days older than Xingyun Xingya, but he is very lively.

He is also a sister-con and always follows Xingya around.

Xingyun and Dai Dai were both relatively calm and introverted people, and they looked at the two little kids playing with cold eyes like little adults, finding it a bit boring.

Dai Meng said to An Muxi with a smile: "Why is your little Xingyun as silent as our Dai Dai?"

An Muxi smiled and said, "Who knows? Maybe he inherited it from his father. I heard that your mother likes Dai Dai very much?"

"Yes, my mother is now eager to designate her as the heir." Dai Meng said proudly.

Dai Meng smiled and said, "If I have a boy this time, I will give him the surname An An. Please keep the Prince An's Mansion for us. Maybe my son will come back to inherit the throne!"

An Muxi smiled: "Okay, I agree. This is also good, my son is more popular here."

At this time, Gu Anyan asked, "I wonder how Qingxue and Yan'er are doing in your Tianyue Country?"

An Muxi slapped her forehead and forgot about it.

Lu Qingxue had sent her several letters before, but there seems to be no news from her recently.

He quickly asked, "Yes, how are they now?"

Dai Meng heard this and said proudly, "You guys in Tiansheng will probably regret this. You actually let such a brave general go! She is now leading troops to fight on the border!"

An Muxi became interested when she heard this. She knew that Lu Qingxue had been arranged by Dai Meng to join the army of Tianyue Kingdom.

I didn't expect that she had become a general?

"Please expand on it!"

"There are always some barbarian tribes harassing our country's southwestern border. The original military leader there was inactive, so I replaced him directly."

"Then what?" Gu Anyan asked with anticipation.

"Then I asked Qingxue to join the military camp and train her at the grassroots level. She was quite skilled and knew how to lead troops in battle, so she was quickly promoted to centurion. Later, she fought off several barbarian harassments and was promoted to thousand-man captain."

Dai Meng didn't say what happened next, but they could all guess that he would be promoted to general as a matter of course.

An Muxi's eyes were full of admiration and envy. As a woman, she could only be trapped in the backyard, while she became a general.

But on second thought, everyone has his or her own life, which cannot be copied.

She is living a good life and is very content now.

Lu Qingxue's decision to go to Tianyue Country was probably the best decision she had ever made.

Now, Lady Anyang Hou is living with Lu Qingfeng's family in the west. After having a granddaughter, she has put all her attention on her.

Lu Qingxue will definitely write to her often, and this result is not bad.

When a few women get together, they are bound to talk about some gossip.

Gu Anyan whispered, "You know Princess Wenhua, right? She is now married to her late husband's son."

After all, Princess Wenhua's two brothers were sitting at the table next to her, so she didn't dare speak too loudly.

An Muxi and Dai Meng were both a little shocked: "What? Is this true?"

"That's what Siyu wrote to me last time. They met her at the border. She was with Yusup's eldest son Saimi. She seemed to be doing well and didn't plan to come back."

An Muxi could understand that she probably didn't have the face to come back.

But killing her husband and then marrying his son is really unacceptable.

The men's table was much quieter, as the men were not talkative people.

Li Yian just came up to Li Rui and said, "Congratulations, brother." and didn't say anything else.

Li Rui was used to this way of getting along between the two of them, so he just picked up the tea instead of wine, clinked the cup with him, and drank it in one gulp.

Bai Jingchen politely asked Li Yian about some matters in Tianyue Kingdom. He met Li Rui frequently so there was no need for him to be taken care of.

Two days later, it was finally Li Rui's coronation ceremony, which was also An Muxi's coronation ceremony as queen.

This was Li Rui's strong request. Originally, the ceremony of conferring the empress should have been arranged after the coronation ceremony.

Li Rui insisted that An Muxi hold the ceremony with him. He felt that An Muxi was qualified to ascend to the highest position with him.

The two of them walked hand in hand on the red carpet wearing the most solemn dragon robes and phoenix costumes. An Muxi felt like they were models walking on a catwalk, and everyone in the audience was staring at them intently.

An Muxi unexpectedly saw Feng Qingyu and his junior sister named Hanyu in the foreign guest area. She should be his Crown Princess now, right?

He just glanced at An Muxi and then looked away. He was not worthy of her too much attention.

Feng Qingyu had a complicated expression, and his eyes were still focused on the figure in the bright red phoenix costume.

Until now, her figure still often appears in his dreams.

After not seeing her for a few years, she has become more mature and more attractive.

Hanyu silently observed Feng Qingyu's expression. She and Feng Qingyu had been married for two years, but she knew that he would never forget the woman on the stage.

But now she is very satisfied. Just half a year ago, he was finally willing to accept her, and they have consummated their marriage.

But he still rarely slept with her.

Regardless of whether it was because of Emperor Tianqi's coercion, she is now very satisfied. At least her senior brother treats her very well now, and she believes that the two of them will definitely get better and better in the future.

Suddenly Hanyu felt a little nauseous. Could it be because she had eaten something cold in the morning?

She covered her mouth and began to dry heave.

Feng Qingyu heard the voice and withdrew her gaze.

He looked at Hanyu's uncomfortable look and asked quickly, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Hanyu shook her head: "It's okay, I can hold on, ugh~"

Seeing that her face was turning pale, Feng Qingyu picked her up and walked out.

"I'll take you to see the imperial physician."

Hanyu leaned in his arms. Although she felt uncomfortable, she smiled.

In the Imperial Hospital, the old doctor took Feng Qingyu's pulse and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Crown Prince Feng. The Crown Princess is pregnant. It's been more than a month."

Feng Qingyu was stunned on the spot, and after a while he smiled. Hanyu looked at him with tears in her eyes, she was so happy that she finally had her senior brother's child.

The ceremony outside was going on smoothly, and the foreign guests deeply felt that this powerful empire would become even more unstoppable in the future.

This young monarch possesses the wisdom of the old emperor and the decisiveness to kill. This man seems to be so powerful that he has no weaknesses.

Except, his queen.

After Li Rui became Emperor Tiansheng, he implemented a series of new policies to develop agriculture and commerce, conduct trade with neighboring countries, and exempt the people from heavy taxes for three years.

His approval rating is now at an all-time high, the country's economy is developing at an accelerated pace, society is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Whenever the old emperor heard about Li Rui in the palace, he would smile with satisfaction. It is true that the disciple is better than the master!

But occasionally some people in the court would still make Li Rui unhappy.

"Your Majesty, now the world is peaceful and the country is strong, but you only have one queen in your harem, and your offspring are too few. The country of Tiansheng needs you to recruit more concubines and expand your family."

An official from the Ministry of Revenue said this, and several people nearby stood up and echoed him.

Li Rui was just about to adjourn the court to go back to his lovely wife, but when he heard this his face suddenly darkened.

Don't think he doesn't know. Those officials who spoke out all have daughters of marriageable age at home. Do they want to put their daughters into the harem to cause trouble for Xier?

There are no doors!

Just when he was about to reprimand him, a young eunuch came running over.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has fainted!"
