In the spring of the sixth year of Dashang Dynasty, Dayun Mountain in Dongyang County was surrounded by troops stationed there.

It is said that this place was chosen by the current emperor to build a cemetery for his father, the late emperor Chen Taiyi.

Chen Quan's throne was stolen from him, and his father was just an ordinary farmer in Nanyang countryside.

Now, because his son has ascended the throne as emperor, this old farmer named Chen Taiyi, who has been dead for many years, has also been crowned king.

This deceitful operation was just an attempt to add to the history books that Chen Quan inherited the throne, not snatched it.

People in the world don't understand this. In their opinion, as long as they can get the throne, it doesn't matter how the throne comes.

The villagers who originally lived near Dayun Mountain couldn't quite figure it out. The emperor wanted to build an imperial mausoleum for his biological father. Why didn't he choose a place in Nanyang County instead of going to Dongyang County?

Is it just because Dayun Mountain is the first mountain in Huai River?

However, to build the imperial mausoleum, a large amount of labor is needed. The government posted a notice to collect 5,000 laborers first, paying 30 cents per person per day to provide one lunch. After hearing this news, the local residents still

I'm very happy. Although the labor is hard, it doesn't mean they have to work in vain. They can work, earn money and eat every day.

Good.

At least, in this spring, as long as there are strong laborers in the family, they can go to the mountains to ascend the throne. After receiving the quota of labor, they can earn some copper coins to buy some coarse grains. With the money to buy grains, plus the wild vegetables dug in the spring, this year

The whole family can live safely again.

This reminds people of Chen Quan, who started the uprising. He also embarked on the path of uprising because of private labor.

It can be seen that this emperor who has suffered the hardships of hard labor still has some conscience. He does not work in vain and knows how to pay.

The person leading the troops stationed here is Song Yunfei.

When Song Yunfei left, he went to ask the emperor to wait until he had dug the imperial mausoleum here and built the tomb of the late emperor. He hoped that his majesty would personally grant him a marriage to Princess Huaiping.

Song Yunfei wanted to marry Lu Sheige, so he did not hesitate to anger Lu Shege and expose her identity.

This made Chen Quan very happy.

One is his nephew whom he trusts most, and the other is the princess who contributed the treasure.

For Song Yunfei to marry Lu Shege, in Chen Quan's opinion, that was the best thing.

But the reason why Chen Quan delayed talking about this matter until the imperial tomb was dug was because he was playing tricks on Song Yunfei and Lu Sheige.

If everything comes true, you won't cherish it.

Chen Quan was an emperor of his generation, and he knew how to balance things better so that he could survive for a long time.

Regarding Song Yunfei, Chen Quan's trade-off was to prevent him from having everything go as he wished, and to embarrass him about the marriage, making him work even harder for him.

As for Lu Sheige, although she is a princess, she has neither father nor mother. She only relies on Empress Shen's love to achieve her current glory and wealth.

Being able to marry the commander of the Yulin Guards, the legitimate son of Yongyi Hou Mansion, this marriage is the best.

If Song Yunfei hadn't broken his arm, in Chen Quan's opinion, Lu Sheige would still be a bit unworthy of him.

Now that Yun Fei had lost his arm due to errands, Chen Quan thought it would be just right for him to be paired with Lu Xiange.

This is appropriate for Lu Shege.

If it weren't for the fact that she dedicated the ancient tomb, I'm afraid that an orphan like her would not be qualified to marry Song Yunfei.

Chen Quan thought very well. This marriage is a good thing for both parties. Except for Marquis Yongyi and Marquis Yongyi's wife, who may not be very satisfied, everyone involved should be satisfied.

Besides, for a generation of emperors, there is no need to be satisfied or dissatisfied. The marriage that he can personally direct is the most suitable.

However, Chen Quan had not disclosed these to Empress Shen and Lu Sheige before. It didn't matter whether he said it or not. He only had to say it before.

"Ye'er's health is not very good, otherwise it would be more appropriate for Ye'er to handle the affairs of the imperial mausoleum." Chen Quan said to the Queen.

The Queen smiled: "The same goes for Yun Fei Ban. You have watched this child grow up, and there is no difference between him and your own child."

"That's right, I'm very optimistic about this kid. Unfortunately, he injured his arm, which is a bit distressing after all."

Empress Shen didn't answer, she just looked down at the hot tea in front of her. The hot steam from the tea rose up and disappeared without a trace in a moment.

Chen Quan considered it carefully and said: "Yunfei is already in his prime. When he completes his errand, it will be time for him to start a family."

He wanted the queen to take the initiative to mention Lu Shenge and Song Yunfei's marriage, so that he could control his attitude.

"Yunfei's parents should worry about this." Empress Shen moved the snack in front of Chen Quan, "Your Majesty, try this egg yolk cake. It is made by Xi Ge. It tastes salty and sweet."

Chen Quan likes to eat sweets, but few people know about it. Due to his reputation, Chen Quan will not easily let outsiders know about his hobby in order to satisfy his appetite.

Mr. Shen is different, she is his married wife, and he does not need to disguise himself in front of her.

"This kid Xi Ge is really good." Chen Quan glanced at him but did not make a move.

Empress Shen laughed, picked up a piece of snack, broke it open, stuffed half of it into her mouth, and handed the other half to Chen Quan's mouth.

"Your Majesty will give it a try. He would like to have Xiangge come and teach the royal kitchen in the palace next time. This will save the children the trouble of making something and sending it to the palace."

Seeing the egg yolk cake handed to his mouth, Chen Quan lowered his head and bit it.

"It tastes really good. This child is very thoughtful." A faint smile appeared on Chen Quan's face, and he whispered into Queen Shen's ear, "When will you give me a daughter?"

Queen Shen's eyes flashed and she smiled sweetly: "I don't want to have a daughter, I want to have a son."

After saying that, Empress Shen took another cake and stuffed it into Chen Quan's mouth: "I probably won't have a daughter in my life, but as long as I have Xi Ge, I will be content."

Deng Wuwei, who was watching Chen Quan eating snacks, hesitated to speak. Chen Quan glared at him before he carefully stepped back.

This pastry was sent by Princess Huaiping, and Empress Shen liked it very much.

Your Majesty also ate it today, but he didn't let the young eunuch try it. But Empress Shen ate it first, and even though he was a eunuch, he didn't say much and said he didn't test the poison.

Chen Quan looked at the dignified and beautiful Empress Shen in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Shen family has indeed remained unchanged for many years.

When he met her, Shen had just grown hair. She was so beautiful that it would be impossible to praise her with the most beautiful sentences in the world.

At that time, the girls of the Shen family were really the most popular girls in the family.

He was able to marry the Shen family through means, although the means were somewhat disgraceful. But Chen Quan knew that with his family background and Chen Quan's reputation outside, he would have no choice but to marry a girl from the Shen family. Different from dreaming.

Today, Mrs. Shen has traces of time accumulated on her body. But instead of becoming vulgar due to the passage of time, she has a kind of dignity and generosity that can only be found in mature women.

She is still so beautiful, but this kind of beauty no longer makes people thrilling, but makes people feel peaceful. When you are with her, even if you do nothing, you will feel comfortable and at ease.

This is also the reason why Chen Quan now comes to sit in the Jiaofang Hall of Empress Shen every day.

No matter how much trouble he has outside, as long as he sits here with Empress Shen, even if she doesn't say anything, he will feel better.
