Qi Xiuyuan lowered his head, his eyes were clouded, as if he was recalling, "Although I don't remember the appearance of the Queen Mother very much, I always remember how she cooked mung bean soup for me on a hot day. King Rongjun was not born at that time. , she can still hold me in the Baosha for the summer, and now, I can still remember her smile."

Qi Xiuyuan's face was serious, and he said: "The posthumous titles of the first mother and the first and last are indeed about to be drawn up, Chen Qing, I will hand them over to you at this time, and the Ministry of Rites will try to come up with a charter."

Chen Fang came out and bowed down.

"What else do you want to start?"

The old minister was entrusted by the Wu family, he hesitated for a moment before stepping out and continued: "Your Majesty, since the posthumous title of the ancestors has also been discussed, the placement of the Wu family should also be put on the agenda, I wonder how the emperor plans to arrange for the Wu family? "

Chen Fang was silent for a moment, then came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Second Lord Qi and the Third Lord Qi have not yet divided their titles. The state affairs were busy before, and since the issue of the Wu family is brought up today, it is better to discuss the division of the royal family together. People's hearts."

In Chen Fang's view, the emperor has shown his attitude by delaying the matter for so long. Good words come.

Qi Xiuyuan also thought about it in the same way, so this time he didn't excuse his busy state affairs. He also reiterated just now that his mother's family is the Zhu family, not the Wu family.

"How do you think they should be arranged?"

The veteran looked around and found that no one made a sound. He was annoyed in his heart, so he had to bow his head and said: "Going back to the emperor, I thought I should welcome Mrs. Wu into the palace. Now that there is no owner in the harem, the queen mother can take care of it for a while."

Qi Xiuyuan laughed softly, and looked down at the old official. He is an old Hanlin. Qi Xiuyuan remembered his resume. He was 27 years old and now he is 48 years old, but he is still a Hanlin. Rank five, Qi Xiuyuan finally knew why.

Chen Fang is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and his position is too high, which prevented him from turning around to take a closer look at that idiot.

Now he just lowered his head, secretly rolled his eyes, and continued to stare at his toes without speaking.

Qi Haoran was furious, and almost as soon as the old Hanlin's words fell, he jumped out and said, "What kind of queen mother is Wu? But I have a concubine, and there is no emperor to entrust you, but you are calling the queen mother, could it be?" What's the benefit of taking her?"

Old Hanlin blushed, and said angrily: "Wang Rongjun said carefully, there has always been no objection to the entrustment of the queen mother. The Wu family is the heir of the prince of Qi, the emperor's stepmother, isn't it natural for him to be the queen mother?"

Qi Haoran sneered and said: "Who said she is our stepmother? The document in the yamen says it is a concubine, and a concubine is still a concubine."

Old Hanlin's face was blank, and he asked: "How could it be a concubine's room? Didn't the Qi family always regard her as their mother?"

Qi Haoran looked at him contemptuously and said: "That's because my father thought she had meritorious service in childbearing, and let the servants in the mansion call her. My maternal family, Mrs. Zhu, doesn't recognize it."

Strictly speaking, it is very strict for a concubine to be promoted as the main wife. It is necessary to obtain the letter of approval from the first wife's natal family.

Marriage is good for having two surnames. Under normal circumstances, as long as the man pays a certain price, the woman's natal family will mostly agree to write a letter of consent because the woman has passed away and in order to prevent the two parties from becoming enemies.

Back then, because there were still two nephews in the Qi family, the Zhu family wanted to write a letter of approval even though they were in grief.

It was Qi Xiuyuan who asked his uncles Zhu Qing and Zhu Feng not to write the letter of approval.

Qi Xiuyuan remembered things early. Although he was not yet six years old at the time, he remembered that his mother was weak but not dead after giving birth to his younger brother. He knew that his mother was pissed to death by his father and the Wu family.

His mother didn't want Wu to be his equal wife before he was alive, so how could he let Wu become his step-wife after his mother's death?

Therefore, despite the danger that he and his younger brother might be abused, Qi Xiuyuan still insisted not to allow Zhu's family to write a letter of approval, and then, Zhu's family and Qi's family turned against each other, and Qi's family had no contact with Zhu's family for more than ten years.

And the lives of him and his younger brother were indeed greatly affected. Fortunately, the Xia family lived in the capital, and took them to live there for a period of time from time to time. Well, Brother Qi Xiuyuan won't be living too hard.

But Qi Xiuyuan will never forget the kind of life where there is no carbon in winter, no ice in summer, and the food is either cold or overnight.

Qi Xiuyuan looked at His Highness's indignant younger brother, feeling dazed for a while. In fact, he could bear all these things. No matter how bad the Qi family was, it was still his home. He never thought of leaving this family, and even made trouble to the point where he almost broke with his father.

Even if he has to be hungry sometimes, he still has a little bit of admiration for that father, but they absolutely shouldn't attack Qi Haoran.

Qi Xiuyuan had already forgotten his mother's face, but he hadn't forgotten how his younger brother was lying on the ground covered in injuries.

The Xia family often visits them, or takes them to live in the Fan residence for a period of time, but that period of time will not exceed five days. After all, the Qi family is still there, and the Xia family can't do too much, or they will suffer in the end. There are still two children.

It was after Qi Haoran's wet nurse abused Qi Haoran that Qi Haoran lived in Fan's house for a long time.

At that time, Qi Xiuyuan was young. Although he loved his brother dearly, his energy and experience were limited, and he had to study during the day, so he could only visit him frequently. My impression was that my brother was crying a lot at that time, and the child who was just born would cry all day and night. The loud noise made Qi Xiuyuan feel distressed, but sometimes he couldn't help being irritable, but his younger brother was just out of the moon, so he couldn't blame him for the small lump, he could only coax him.

Once, my husband had something to leave school early, Qi Xiuyuan will always remember that day, he bought a rattle excitedly and ran back, and when he entered the yard, he heard his brother crying, but there was no servant in the yard.

Little Qi Xiuyuan just frowned, and hurriedly walked in, and when he reached the door, seeing the scene inside, he felt the blood flow backwards all over his body, it was freezing cold, and even breathing was difficult.

The little Qi Haoran was stripped clean and thrown on the ground, with pinched bruises on his white and tender arms and waist, while his wet nurse was sitting drinking tea, frowning at the crying little man on the ground.

At that time, Qi Xiuyuan's mind went blank, and when he came back to his senses, the wet nurse had already been smashed to death by him with a bench.

That was Qi Xiuyuan's first real murder, and he was only six years old at that time.

The manpower left by Mrs. Zhu was still available. Almost immediately after the accident, someone sneaked out of the mansion to notify Mrs. Xia. Because of this, Qi Haoran was able to live in Fan's house, and Qi's family became his occasional place to stay.
