Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 371 The child's mother
"Remember, you will be the young prince from now on, and you will also be the first prince named by me. I hope you can revitalize the Xue family!"

Lu Hao said again.

"Am I really the young prince?"

Xue Yunjie seemed a little unbelievable.

"Yes, your father, General Xue Yue, has been named the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness. As your son, you are naturally the young prince."

Lu Hao smiled and nodded.

"Yunjie will definitely work hard to revitalize the Xue family!"

Xue Yunjie said.

Lu Hao stood up slowly, bowed to Mrs. Xue again, and said, "Mrs. Xue, please express my condolences and accept the change! If you have any difficulties, you can come directly to the truth."

"Thank you, Prime Minister! Congratulations, Prime Minister!"

Mrs. Xue bowed again.

Lu Hao walked slowly toward the door, glanced back at the backyard, shook his head helplessly, and left.

"Prime Minister, that Xue Yunxi is really too much!"

Wu Qingyu said angrily.

"It's okay, she is in a bad mood because her father died in the war!"

Lu Hao said he could understand.

"Prime Minister, you are too magnanimous! If it were me, I would definitely slap her hard."

Wu Qingyu was still a little aggrieved.

"It's really cold today!"

Lu Hao ignored him and exhaled a long breath of hot breath, which turned into a white line.

The two got into the carriage and headed towards the palace.

The royal banquet in the palace was still going on. Everyone thought that Lu Hao had left for a while and then appeared again. They had no idea that he had visited General Xue Yue.

The celebration banquet lasted for three hours before all the adults, generals, and concubines gradually left.

This celebration was a success, and everyone was basically rewarded. Moreover, after Lu Hao came back, he gave General Xue Yue an additional 1 taels of gold as a reward.

Logically speaking, if the imperial general died in battle, such a celebration should not be held.

However, the Lu Jiajun defeated Liu Mu and the Sui Empire. If the merits are not rewarded, who will work for Lu Hao in the future?
Therefore, Xue Yunxi made things difficult and humiliating for him in every possible way, but Lu Hao remained calm and did not argue with her.

However, the news that Lu Hao went to pay homage to General Xue Yue spread like wildfire, and soon spread to all civil and military officials and generals.

Therefore, after everyone left, they immediately came to General Xue Yue's mansion to worship General Xue Yue.

The originally deserted Zhongyi Marquis Mansion suddenly became lively as officials from the imperial court came to express their condolences one after another.

Mrs. Xue took her two daughters, Xue Yunxi and Xue Yunjie, to return gifts to everyone in the mourning hall, but she felt much better.

After all, having so many people come to pay homage to General Xue Yue can be regarded as giving the Xue family face.

……

Yiquan Palace, in the inner chamber.

Lu Hao came slowly and hugged Dong Xiaowan from behind.

"Xiao Wan, thank you for your hard work today!"

Lu Hao was extremely compassionate.

"Xiao Wan is not tired at all. On the contrary, the Prime Minister is leaving the palace so late. Tell me honestly, where have you been?"

Concubine Dong Gui asked with a smile.

"I have gone to pay homage to General Xue Yue."

Lu Hao didn't hide anything.

"General Xue Yue died for the country, and I should go and express my condolences."

Concubine Dong Gui felt the same way.

"It's such a cold weather and you're pregnant with a baby, so don't go. If you really want to go, just send someone to go on your behalf."

Lu Hao felt distressed.

"Do you feel sorry for me? Or do you feel sorry for your son?"

Dong Xiaowan smiled charmingly,

"Of course I feel sorry for the child's mother." Lu Hao chuckled evilly.

"I'm pregnant and can't serve you. You go find sister Yun'er."

Dong Xiaowan is very sensible.

"I just want to stay with you tonight and I'm not going anywhere."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

He wanted to come back and spend time with Dong Xiaowan. After all, she was pregnant with the child and needed him by her side.

"Do you really want to accompany me?"

Dong Xiaowan confirmed.

"Of course, let's go, I will hold you to sleep tonight."

Lu Hao took the beautiful woman and sat on the phoenix couch.

For a moment, the two fell asleep hugging each other, and Dong Xiaowan lay in his arms obediently.

"Lu Hao, I'm so worried. How should I name my child in the future?"

Dong Xiaowan asked with a grimace.

"This is very simple. The child will have your last name from now on."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"But, will this cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers?"

Dong Xiaowan was worried.

"Hehehe... don't worry, no one dares to say a word as long as I am."

Lu Hao smiled.

"But you have to plan for our son early, lest I don't know how to explain this to our son later."

Dong Xiaowan warned in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I know the truth, so don't worry about these things."

Lu Hao comforted.

In fact, he could proclaim himself king at any time and ascend the throne as emperor. However, he had to establish his prestige and make all the courtiers who supported the Murong family change their minds.

Of course, if you want to realize this plan, you will naturally need some means and tricks.

Besides, the civil strife in the empire has not subsided yet, and it is not the time for a showdown yet.

Dong Xiaowan was accompanied by Lu Hao, so she slept soundly and seemed even more attached to Lu Hao.

On the other side, Xiao Yun'er arranged Tantai Xiyao to live in Kunning Palace, and let Nangong Ruoxue move into Huaqing Palace.

Kunning Palace is the residence of the queen. After Chen Yuhuan left, this place naturally became vacant.

Now Chen Lin stationed troops at Hangu Pass, incorporated the army of Pingxi General Wu Cangui, and was joined by the King of Huainan and others, so his strength skyrocketed.

With Chen Lin's character, sooner or later he will compete in the Central Plains and will inevitably start a war with Lu Hao.

In this case, there is no need for the Kunning Palace where Chen Yuhuan lives. Lu Hao's wife Tantai Xiyao can move in to show her respected status.

When Tantai Mingyue learned about this, she was immediately happy for her daughter. After all, which woman today doesn't want to live in Kunning Palace?

When Lu Hao allowed Tantai Xiyao to move into Kunning Palace, he undoubtedly announced to everyone that his daughter was the empress of the main palace, and the rest were side houses.

Nangong Ruoxue moved into Huaqing Palace, which used to be Shangguan Yuehua's palace. It had been abandoned for a long time, and now it has a new owner.

The two beauties were arranged to live in the palace by the two empresses, so naturally the courtiers did not dare to say anything.

However, these two are both the Prime Minister's women, so it is natural for the Prime Minister to stay in the palace from now on.

If Lu Hao lived in the palace for a long time and became emperor in the future, he would not have so much gossip.

Lu Hao looked at Dong Xiaowan in his arms, feeling heartbroken and pitiful, and secretly vowed to carve a big future for their mother and son.

However, if you want to fight in the north and south, just 2 people are obviously not enough.

However, the current production of guns and ammunition can only sustain the consumption of the [-] main army. If we increase the army, we will have to continue to expand production capacity.

If you want to expand production capacity, you will need more raw materials.

Therefore, Lu Hao planned to let Situ Tianyin's Tianyin Pavilion collect strategic materials to the maximum extent to expand the production of guns and ammunition.
