Chapter 242 Duke Anguo Mansion

After the promotion, Lu Wanning's life did not change much. She still took the fourth princess to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager every day. During her usual time, she would either stir incense, play the piano, and practice calligraphy in her palace, or take the fourth princess to the imperial court.

Take a walk in the garden.

On this day, when Lu Wanning went to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, he happened to meet the Empress Dowager's mother's house, the emperor's foreign home, and the wife of Duke Anguo's mansion came to the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager.

As the emperor's foreign family, Anguo Duke's Mansion actually does not have much real power except for the title of a Duke.

This is not to say that the emperor did not value his foreign family and deliberately suppressed it. It is because Duke Anguo’s Mansion has always had difficulties in childbirth. Although there are many concubines in the backyard of Duke Anguo’s Mansion, during the Empress Dowager’s generation, Duke Anguo’s Mansion had only Duke Anguo and Duke Anguo’s Mansion and Duke Anguo’s Mansion.

The Empress Dowager and the Brother and Sister.

When it came to the generation of Prince Anguo, Mrs. Anguo had only given birth to Prince Anguo, and Prince Anguo was born weak. Mrs. Anguo was worried that his son would have a chance to make a decision if he could make Prince Anguo die.

Duke An Guo took several concubines who were well-off, but none of them were pregnant.

This is also the reason why so many concubines in the palace are not from Duke Anguo’s Mansion.

Because even if the Duke Anguo Mansion wants to send the girl to the palace, there is no girl to send her.

However, no one expected that although Prince Anguo was weak, he was much better than his father and grandfather in terms of offspring.

Because of his frailty and illness, Prince Anguo was at the age of marriage, but few daughters from aristocratic families were willing to marry him.

If Luo Chengjing had ascended the throne at that time, maybe someone would be willing to marry Prince An of the Kingdom for this reason. But the emperor was still a prince at that time, and the attitude of the late emperor was ambiguous, so of course no one would be willing to take the risk.

In the end, Duke An Guo could only place his eyes on the family of small officials with poor family background.

After selection by Duke An Guo, the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister was selected as the wife of the Prince of Duke An Guo.

Although the daughter of Dali Temple Master is not well-known, she is gentle and quiet, well-educated. After getting married to Prince Anguo, she did not dislike Prince Anguo's body and could not enter the court as an official. The couple respected each other and had a good relationship.

, the Prince of Anguo also rejected the beautiful concubine that Duke Anguo gave him to him for the sake of the Prince's wife.

Mrs. An Guo was very dissatisfied with this at the beginning. She thought that the descendants of Duke An Guo’s mansion were difficult, and the prince of Duke An Guo was unwilling to take a concubine. Isn’t this to make Duke An Guo’s death?

But the Prince of Anguo insisted on not wanting to take a concubine. The Prince of Anguo and the wife of Anguo were not stubborn, so they could only let the matter go first.

Without the concubines in between, the relationship between the Prince Anguo and the Prince's wife became better. Two years after the two got married, the Prince Anguo's wife became pregnant and gave birth to a fat boy safely.

This made Duke An Guo and Duke An Guo's wife greatly relieved. After having this child, Duke An Guo no longer cared about whether Prince An Guo would take a concubine.

This also made Prince Anguo's wife breathe a sigh of relief. After having this child, everyone in the Duke Anguo's mansion was already content, but who would have thought that three years later, Prince Anguo's wife became pregnant again?

The one who gave birth to this time was still a son, which made everyone in Duke An's mansion very happy. Duke An's wife even regarded the prince's wife as a lucky star.

After giving birth to his second son, there was no news about the wife of the Prince of Anguo. The Mansion of Anguo has always been a poor child, and it is not easy to have these two grandsons. Therefore, although the whole family of the Prince of Anguo felt regretful, they did not blame the Prince of Anguo.

Mrs. Anguo is 34 years old this year and has long given up the hope of pregnancy. However, a doctor was suddenly diagnosed with pregnancy by her doctor, which is a surprise.

The Duke Anguo's mansion was so happy that after waiting for the three months, Duke Anguo's wife hurriedly entered the palace to report the good news to the Empress Dowager.

"This is a good thing." The Empress Dowager said happily: "Yu is a blessing, but she is old after all, so you should pay more attention during pregnancy. If you lack something, you can let someone enter the palace and Ai's house.

Say it.”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Mrs. An Guogong said as she thanked her, "What the Empress Dowager said is that Yu is indeed a blessing. Although she is over thirty years old this year, the doctor said that she is in good health and only be careful with this baby.

There should be no problem."

"That's good, that's good." said the Queen Mother.

Mrs. An Guogong smiled and said, "If Yu can add a younger brother to Mao'an and Maoxing this time, he will be a great contributor to our An Guogong Mansion."

After saying that, Duke An Guo said, he glanced at the fourth princess who was held in his arms by the empress dowager and said with a smile: "But even a sister is good. If you can have a granddaughter as cute as the fourth princess, watch it every day.

It's also likeable."

"Hahaha." The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Whether it is a grandson or granddaughter, it is a good thing to import children."

After saying that, the Empress Dowager asked Su Maoan and Su Maoxing again.

"Maoan and Maoxing have not entered the palace for a while. How can they do their homework during this period? Is it possible to use their work?"

Mrs. An Guogong said that her two grandsons were smiling.

"Empress Dowager Lao is concerned about it. Mao'an's homework is quite attentive and often praised by his master. This year, he wanted to give it a try, but was stopped by his grandfather, saying that he is too young now, so he asked him to use it again.

After studying for two years, I have laid a solid foundation before going to end up. This kid is having a quarrel with his grandfather for this period of time."

"Maoxing is lively and always can't calm down when studying. He is afraid he is not as good as his brother in his homework."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Let me go back and talk about my brother. Both Maoan and Maoxing are smart and sensible. Don't be too harsh on the children."

The Empress Dowager and Mrs. An Guogong talked about the homework problems of the two children. Lu Wanning, who was sitting as a guest, had a smile on her face. It seemed that she was listening carefully, but her thoughts had already run away.

Just now, when she heard Mrs. An Guo’s wife say that it was a fate, she remembered that it was almost September and Lu Simo should have finished the exam, and she didn’t know how he did it.

Lu Simo is sixteen this year. If he can pass the scholar this year, he will pass the Juren next year and he will be able to take the imperial examination the year after.

After passing the exam, he can become an official in the court.

In fact, with Lu Wanning's current favor, she could ask Lu Simo for an official position.

Before, Luo Chengjing also vaguely stated that he could directly award Lu Simo an official position.
