Qin Luan and his brother Qin Ruo came to attend the full moon banquet of the little princess.
The advancement of women's education was not very smooth. At first, the students were all children of nobles and common people. Firstly, they had no money to study, and secondly, their parents were uncivilized. They either kept their daughters at home in exchange for betrothal gifts, or they left their daughters to work at home. , believes that studying is a matter for nobles and has nothing to do with the daughters of ordinary people.
Qin Luan spared no effort and traveled around to implement policies, so that some people realized that the daughter of an ordinary family could shine brightly by studying at home, so he sent his daughter to a girls' school.
In last year’s scientific examination, there were more than 20 female students. The results of this year’s scientific examination have not been released yet, but conservative estimates suggest that the number will double or triple.
This number is small compared to men, but it is still a big progress.
Su Rong rewarded Qin Luan with many good things, and also promoted her to one level. You know, in the officialdom, it takes two or three years to get half a level. Now, she has given birth to one level in one and a half years. It's very good.
She was a little thinner, but her eyes were smiling and she looked very bright and bright. Many men in the capital invited matchmakers and stepped onto the threshold of the Qin Mansion to ask for a hand in marriage, but they were all pushed away by Qin Luan, and none of them agreed.
Qin Luan is now quite young based on the age at which a woman will get married, but she still has no plans to get married.
As for Qin Ruo, she had met Su Rong since Mrs. Qin came, and she asked Su Rong to provide her son with a marriage. After Su Rong asked Qin Ruo, Qin Ruo said that the concubine should make the decision, so she took some time off. After careful selection, he was given the title of Chu Guanlan, a lively and clever young county head of a county prince in the clan.
Mrs. Qin and Qin Ruo are both very satisfied with the marriage, as are the prince's family and the small county head. Now that we have passed the wedding ceremony, we will get married next year.
Because of this marriage, Ning Ze, Jiang Zhu and others all said why the princess didn't think about them. Su Rong had already asked people to draw up a list and prepared to carefully select them and grant them marriages one by one. But before she could choose her respective candidates, she got pregnant. Zhou Gu naturally didn't let her worry about it, and just let them take care of it themselves, so as not to burden his daughter-in-law.
In this way, everyone has settled down, but each one is still a bachelor.
The clan members entered the palace early today. Chu Guanlan entered the palace early with her parents and had already seen the little princess. Now seeing the Qin family brothers and sisters coming together, she twisted her handkerchief and waited for Qin Ruo to see the little princess. After giving the gift, talk to her.
As expected, Qin Ruo completed the process quickly and came over. She instantly smiled and looked at Qin Ruo happily.
Qin Luan naturally did not stay with her brother, so she stayed for a while longer.
Zhou Gu had already stuffed Chu An into Su Rong's arms when the Qin brothers and sisters arrived. Ever since he knew Qin Luan's thoughts, he had not spoken to Qin Luan all year round. Even if they met face to face, it was just Nod and leave directly.
Qin Luan was sensitive, so he naturally felt it, but he didn't show any signs of being unhappy. He devoted all his attention to studying for girls. Even Xie Yuan praised her twice for her hard work.
At this time, Qin Luan looked at Chu An in Su Rong's arms, stared at it for a while, and whispered to Su Rong: "My lady, the little princess is so beautiful."
Su Ronxiao said, "Then take a closer look."
Qin Luan also smiled.
She and Su Rong both said a few words with smiles on their faces. When they looked up again, Zhou Gu had gone to the other side to find someone else to talk to. I don't know what she said to Ye Guixue, but Ye Guixue laughed, and Zhou Gu was also happy. She glanced at the two of them and looked away.
Su Rong didn't feel tired during the one-day full moon banquet. After all, she didn't hold the baby much. Most of the time it was Zhou Gu who held the baby. The rest of the time, the eldest princess Sheng'an and others took turns to hold the baby, even the old Duke. I looked at Chu An and chatted with him for half an hour.
After the full moon banquet, Su Rong and Zhou Gu spent a night after the ban was lifted.
On a warm spring night, Zhou Gu tirelessly pressed Su Rong on the bed and let him do whatever he wanted to relieve himself of the hard work of the past year.
During the pregnancy, she didn't help him with her hands. How could she be so hungry?
Zhou Gu lowered his head and kissed her, "It's just a hungry wolf that will eat you." Su Rong wanted to say something more, but he swallowed it into his mouth. That night, she was tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.
After Zhou Gu was satisfied, he hugged her, who was so tired that she could not even lift her fingers, to fall asleep, and enjoyed the day without morning after the full moon banquet.
After the full moon banquet, there is the ceremony for the crown prince's enthronement, and it is also the ceremony for the crown prince's husband to be named the king's husband. The Etiquette Department has repeatedly sorted out the process and checked it again and again to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
Half a month later, the King of Southern Chu announced to the world that he would abdicate and his concubine ascended the throne.
On this day, Su Rong was wearing a royal robe, and Zhou Gu was also wearing a royal robe. They joined hands and went to the Wentian Platform to worship the heaven and earth and the ancestral temple. The civil and military officials of the dynasty paid homage to the new king and his husband.
The ceremony lasted for a full day, and was completed smoothly in a tense and orderly manner. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Rong returned to Fengdian. She was so tired that she felt as if she had shed a layer of skin. She lay on the bed with her back and groaned, "Tired. Fortunately, this kind of thing, just like a wedding, only happens once in a lifetime."
Zhou Gu took off his robe, smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hands to help her loosen her bones, "From now on, you can't call her the queen, you should call her the king."
Su Rong hugged him and said, "How does it feel to be promoted to the king's wife?"
Zhou Guxiao, “It feels pretty good.”
He sighed with emotion, "I never thought that I would be so capable that I would come to Nanchu to be the king's husband."
Su Rong smiled in his arms, "I didn't expect that I would come to Nanchu to be the king, and even kidnap you."
The two of them laughed together.
After a while, Su Rong said: "Father, it is true that Chu An is not allowed to be granted the title of concubine. It hurts like eyeballs. She is still young. I don't want her to bear too much, so don't be spoiled." ”
She hummed softly, "When I was a child, Uncle Xie grabbed me to endorse my book. How could she be so lucky now?"
Zhou Gu straightened her messy hair and looked at her teasingly, "Are you jealous that your daughter is more blessed than you?"
“Yes.”
Zhou Gu whispered: "You are such a big person. It is not easy to clean up a small thing. I will help you. You and I will teach her behind her back. When she can speak, let her choose by herself. She chooses to be the king." , Father can’t stop him even if he wants to.”
Su Rong smiled and punched him, "Are you a father like you? You are plotting against your daughter."
Zhou Gu smiled sullenly, "Who told her that she is the eldest daughter and her surname is Chu? If she doesn't sit in the Chu family's world, who will sit there?"
Anyway, his surname is Zhou, who doesn't sit down.
Su Rong nodded, "Yes."
People with the surname Su will not sit down anymore.
The next day, the queen came to court, and the king of Nan Chu completely withdrew from the court to entertain his grandson. The king and his husband sat on the golden palace together and managed the court affairs together, opening a new chapter in the history of Nan Chu. (End of chapter)
