Chapter 382

It was night, Xiao Baoshan came home and had dinner with the children.

After the children were full, they were taken down by the Mammy to take a bath, while ye Xiaoxian told him about Xiao Baocheng.

"Baocheng spent some time with several noble CHILDES in the capital and owed more than 200 liang of silver. They couldn't afford to pay the debt. Today, they took 200 Liang out of our house."

Xiao Baoshan was stunned and then asked, "we have so much money in our family?"

"It's all from the palace. We also sold a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Otherwise, where can we get enough money? Now after the sale, our family will be really poor."

Xiao Baoshan thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Xiaoxian and said, "I really wronged you. I'll deal with this kind of thing in the future."

"What do you do?" Ye Xiaoxian asked with a smile.

"It's natural to beat Baocheng up, and then punish him not to spend money during this period, and pay off his debt by working."

Ye Xiaoxian said, "he can't earn so much money by working all his life. Forget it. After such an experience, he must know he's wrong. Besides, I made it clear today. If they commit such a mess again in the future, we don't care."

"That's true. We are really good to them." Xiao Baoshan said again, "however, I still have to talk about it next time. It's OK to frighten them."

Ye Xiaoxian said, "you have to have time. You are so busy that you can't touch the ground every day. You can't go home until night. You have to deal with the trivial things at home. You're really hard."

Xiao Baoshan said, "there are a lot of things to be busy now, but after this period, arrange the garrison around. Then you can have some leisure. I'm going to accompany you more."

"Really?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.

Xiao Baoshan said again, "yes, after this period, Wei Fu can show you around. Didn't you say you want to have a good look at the Great Prayer dynasty? Now you've been to the south, you've been to the west, but you haven't been to the East and North."

Ye Xiaoxian said happily, "then I want to go to the north."

"Of course," Xiao Baoshan said, "although there has been war in the north for a long time, there are many plains in the north, with vast territory and simple folk customs. You can go for a walk."

Ye Xiaoxian said, "let's take the two children for a walk?"

"Of course, children should go out to see the world from an early age and have their own judgment in the future."

Ye Xiaoxian's mood is much better.

……

At the end of October, there was another banquet in the palace.

When Li Chengru became emperor, he always advocated praying the people to be diligent and thrifty. The palace is no exception, so there are few banquets in the palace.

Ye Xiaoxian didn't know what the banquet was. Until she entered the palace, she found that all the officials and family members came today.

It was originally a banquet held by the harem, led by several imperial concubines.

It has been more than two months since the draft. Although the selection of the queen has not been determined, the four imperial concubines have been selected. When ye Xiaoxian arrived at the palace, she knew that the selection of the four imperial concubines depends on the order of pregnancy in addition to her family background.

At the beginning, she went to the palace to help Li Chengru choose concubines. At that time, Li Chengru looked abstinent and seemed to have no interest in women. However, only for more than two months, half of the concubines in the palace were pregnant!

It really surprised Ye Xiaoxian.

Looking at these concubines, the atmosphere they get along with is completely different from the atmosphere of the harem she imagined. These concubines are calm and contented. When they get along, they are all shouting "sisters and sisters".

Ye Xiaoxian is really curious. What means did Li Chengru play?

After the banquet, the four imperial concubines sat in the front, Princess Shu opens first: "Today, please come and talk about important things. There is nothing important, but it's not important. This involves royal children, so I mainly want you to give us some suggestions. Now most people in the palace are pregnant with children, but we are young after all and have no experience before. Although the palace is taught by Mammy and guarded by imperial doctors, most mammy don't have any experience I've had children, but I've seen others. The imperial doctors are all men. When it comes to the feeling during pregnancy, I'm sure they can't compare with you. Therefore, I invite you to come today just to let you provide some experience and feelings for the concubines of our harem. "

Ye Xiaoxian suddenly realized that no wonder all the officials and family members who came here today were born and raised.

Also, Li Chengru is really... Powerful enough.

What purity did you pretend to be?

When they understood the purpose of the banquet, they sent blessings to the concubines one after another, and then began to talk about their experience.

"When I was pregnant with my eldest son, I vomited so badly that I vomited until six months. Strangely, I didn't vomit when I was pregnant with my eldest daughter. The whole pregnancy was easy."

"On the contrary, I don't vomit when I'm pregnant. I vomit all the time when I'm young. When I'm third, I haven't vomited after three months. However, I've always been sick. I have no appetite for anything and lose a big circle."

"I'm different. I haven't vomited once during the whole pregnancy. It's easy. I suspect that several children are here to repay their kindness."

“……”

Ye Xiaoxian also talked about her experience. She vomited twice during pregnancy. After four months, her appetite was good. She wanted to eat anything she saw.

The more the concubines listened, the more interested they were. They also asked people to record and analyze the symptoms of boys and girls.

But in the end, there was no conclusion.

Because some clearly have a round stomach, but they give birth to sons. Some have sharp stomachs and give birth to girls.

But this time, the atmosphere was very happy. Everyone ate, drank and talked, and unconsciously passed the afternoon.

At the end of the banquet, ye Xiaoxian also heard the concubines talking about who should serve the bed tonight. Everyone said it was beauty Zhang.

An official family member smiled and asked, "dare to ask you ladies, did your majesty turn it according to the sign or take turns?"

Princess Shu answered her, "now it's rotation. No matter whether you are pregnant or not, everyone has a chance. Our emperor is wet with rain and dew. There is no one who is particularly spoiled or not. In his eyes, we are all his concubines."

"..." Ye Xiaoxian silently gave Li Chengru a thumbs up again.

Brilliant, really brilliant!

In the past dynasties, if every emperor was like Li Chengru, how could there be any palace fight?

……

The day after the banquet, an unexpected situation came from the North: the Beiqing army provoked again!

A while ago, during the civil strife in Daqi Dynasty, Beiqing did not take advantage of this time to make a sneak attack, but came to provoke when the Korean situation was gradually stable, which showed that they had found out the situation: the new emperor ascended the throne, and the garrison in various places was not strong, but they had been recuperating in Beiqing for a period of time. Now the army is strong, and Daqi dynasty may not be their opponent.

If you go out at this time, you may be able to occupy Mobei again.

After such a long war, daqichao's Treasury is now in deficit. It's really impossible to take so much money to carry it. The ministers were also devastated by the war and didn't want to have another change in their hard and calm life.

However, who will be sent now?

Li Chengru sat on the hall with a slight frown.

There are new generals stationed in the north, but if they can't resist, Daqi Dynasty is very passive now.

Therefore, the officials cast their eyes on xiaobaoshan.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, xiaobaoshan was the God of war. When there was a war, they naturally thought of xiaobaoshan.

Although xiaobaoshan has successors, such as the generals he has trained, Qian Qi and others.

But these people put their hope on xiaobaoshan and thought that as long as xiaobaoshan came out, there would be no war that could not be won.

In the expectation of the public, Xiao Baoshan first stood in place for a while, and then lived up to the expectations of the public: "Your Majesty, I request to garrison in the North!"

As soon as his voice fell, a relaxed sound of relief came from the hall.

Xiao Baoshan is indeed their hope. When the imperial court needs it, they have the courage to undertake it and apply for war without saying a word. They are the pillars of the country.

Li Chengru asked, "Xiao Aiqing has been fighting for many years. Now it's time to get together with his wife and children. It's not fair to send you to fight again."

He said this to Xiao Baoshan and to all present.

After hearing this, all the officials were ashamed.

Xiao Baoshan said, "my minister applied to garrison in the north with his wife and children to maintain stability in the north."

Now it's just garrison to frighten Beiqing. It doesn't have to fight. Besides, if you really want to fight, Beiqing may not be able to fight. Even if you do, xiaobaoshan will escort his wife and children back at the first time and won't let them stay in the front line of the battlefield.

After Xiao Baoshan declared his position, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

It's rare that Xiao Baoshan is willing to go. It's rare that he is so firm.

Li Chengru said, "well, since Xiao Aiqing is willing to give up his life in the capital and is willing to garrison in the north, it shows that Xiao Aiqing is a good general who takes the lead. I declare that from today on, Xiao Baoshan will be sealed as the North waiting place and enjoy the sprouting protection of the Great Prayer Dynasty for generations."

A general is a position, while a waiting Lord is a hereditary title. Even if future generations do not go to the battlefield, they can enjoy lifelong salaries.

After xiaobaoshan took command, he said, "thank you, your majesty!"

……

The news that xiaobaoshan was going to the North soon spread all over the capital.

The people on the street loved him even more. In the teahouse and restaurant, storytellers were also talking about him and said he was like a God.

Ye Xiaoxian was the last one to know.

She didn't go out today. She made snacks for the children at home during the day. Later, she checked the children's learning results. She slept in the afternoon. When she woke up, she heard the housekeeper say it.

The steward first said to Ye Xiaoxian, "madam, you and the general are going to the north in two days. Do you want to tidy up your things first?"

north?

Ye Xiaoxian was still in the dark: "what's the north?"
