When Chu Shuhuang arrived, Princess Sheng Chen Tong and Rui'er had already arrived, and Concubine Qiuli was pregnant and did not need to attend the banquet. The second prince's mother is a subordinate in the original palace, with a humble status and no sense of existence. The second prince is also silent, and the princess he married is the daughter of a five-grade Beijing official, and she has no heirs, so she also has no sense of existence. The third prince is still a gentle and polite literati, and he was only arranged to go to the household department for training not long ago, and he didn't see any changes. The mother concubine of the fifth prince is also a noble daughter in the court, but she has been in poor health since entering the palace, and the five princes who were barely born are also sick and crooked.

The queen is in charge of the harem, and she has never embarrassed them, and these people have never made trouble in a proper manner.

Chu Shuhuang and Rui'er played for a while, and the banquet began.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the eldest prince proposed that this year's Wanshou Festival wanted to celebrate, and it was also a good year in the past few years, and the four seas were leveled, so that the people were also happy.

Although Emperor Chu still didn't want to do it in a big way, he couldn't bear everyone's persuasion, and it was also a good thing to encourage the people, so he finally decided to discuss it with the courtiers tomorrow.

Two days later, the early dynasty officially issued a decree to celebrate the longevity festival, and at the same time granted amnesty to the world and reduced the field tax.

One noon a day later, as soon as Chu Shuhuang's class ended, Xiang'er next to the queen came to spread the word, Hua Chang entered the palace, and the queen invited Chu Shuhuang to Fengxiang Palace. After returning to Xuan Pavilion to simply freshen up, Chu Shuhuang took people to Fengxiang Palace.

The queen and Hua Chang were still sitting as usual, but the atmosphere was a little weird. Hua Chang looked casual, and when he saw Chu Shuhuang coming in, his eyes seemed to light up. The queen was a little helpless, and a little angry.

Chu Shuhuang guessed that it was for Hua Chang's family business, but she couldn't say anything about it. Chu Shuhuang gave the queen a salute, and the queen nodded lightly, not as happy as usual, which showed that she was ruthless.

Chu Shuhuang glanced at Hua Chang complainingly, Hua Chang happened to look at Chu Shuhuang and gave a helpless look.

Chu Shuhuang just wanted to explain the queen's two sentences, and the queen sighed and said, "Okay, your cousin is here to pick you up, you can go, I'm tired too." After speaking, he glared at Hua Chang fiercely, Hua Chang was a little ashamed but didn't make a sound.

Chu Shuhuang looked at the queen distressedly, but the queen didn't mean to speak, and turned around and entered the inner hall. Chu Shuhuang had no choice but to follow Hua Chang and go out, and said as he walked: "The queen mother is also for your good, you can't say it well and coax her." ”

Hua Chang's eyes covered Chu Shuhuang and said softly: "I know that Aunt Man is for my good, but there are some things that cannot be compromised, and when you return to the palace tomorrow, you can accompany her old man." ”

Chu Shuhuang felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she and Hua Chang have always been either fighting or yin and yang, when did they talk so closely. I was a little uncomfortable for a while, could it be that Hua Chang was also stimulated?

"Have you had lunch, why don't we go back to Wangjiang Tower?" Chu Shuhuang asked.

"Okay."

It was still Chu Shuhuang who rode in a car, Hua Chang rode a horse, and arrived at Wangjiang Tower. After Hua Chang freshened up and sat down, he looked at Chu Shuhuang and said: "In the past few years, the harvest of kapok has been good, it has far exceeded the military quartermaster of the military department, and the business of the store is also very prosperous, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Chu Shuhuang said: "Kapok is a good thing, although it is cheap, it is a consumable. People with better conditions, not to mention that they have to be replaced every two or three years. If the conditions are not good, it will be able to be used for a few more years, and all these people will not be too much. ”

Hua Chang nodded when he heard this, and Chu Shuhuang continued: "And kapok can also be spun to make clothes, and when the people of the whole country are no longer short, it can also be sold to foreign tribes, so as to earn other people's money." ”

Hua Chang took a breath, such a little girl wants to go to a foreign race?

She seems to have been thinking quite far ahead, forget it, this is a goblin, and she can't be reasoned with.

"According to your idea, how many acres do you need to plant?" Hua Chang asked again.

"That's not necessary, after all, food is fundamental. Besides, this will be learned by others sooner or later, so let's seize the opportunity. Chu Shuhuang said that he was the first to speak, and he seemed to be very knowledgeable.

Hua Chang was silent, and said a little awkwardly: "I heard that you are going to Qingchuan to plant kapok?" ”

Originally, Chu Shuhuang still remembered the matter of Hua Chang and the queen in her heart, and she was a little unhappy, but when she mentioned this, she was even more angry, she pressed it, and said in a calm voice: "That Xu Shixuan somehow knew about the horse farm, said that Qingchuan was in trouble, and invited to plant kapok, and he covered up the matter of the horse farm." ”

This is being coerced, Hua Chang looked at Chu Shuhuang's slightly gloomy face and said, "You don't want to go?" ”

"That's not it, it's all the people of Chu State. It's just that this Xu Shixuan is angry, hmph, he invited me to go, see if Qingchuan can be made into a sieve for him! Chu Shuhuang said fiercely.

Hua Chang looked at Chu Shuhuang's appearance, and his mood became clear.

Chu Shuhuang wanted to ask Hua Chang's relatives, and after returning to the palace, he would be able to explain the queen, but he didn't know how to speak.

After a sullen sip of tea, just as the meal was ready, the two had lunch and returned to the Anguo Mansion.

Chu Shuhuang has the habit of taking a nap, and after freshening up, he rested. After sleeping for more than half an hour, I simply freshened up, used some snacks and flower tea, but I still felt that my spirit was not very good, and I sat in the flower hall and pondered about the flowers.

Ask, it's not appropriate, don't ask, I'm really worried that Hua Chang and the queen mother will get screwed, don't say anything else, what if the queen is angry?

Qingyu walked in from outside the courtyard and saw Chu Shuhuang sitting alone in the flower hall, so he stood outside the hall. Qingyu has a cheerful temperament, and usually likes to talk and laugh, whether it is in the palace or outside the palace, he can always mingle with everyone.

"Did you hear anything funny?" Chu Shuhuang called Qingyu in and asked.

Qingyu stood outside the hall and waited to report to the master, and returned: "If you go back to the princess, there is something, but it is not necessarily fun." ”

"Let's talk about it."

Qingyu raised her head slightly, glanced at Chu Shuhuang, and said softly: "After the prince returned to the house at noon, he called the chief manager Hua Kang and Hua Mama, saying that the girls in the courtyard were of age, so let the two arrange a marriage match as soon as possible, and they don't have to take up their posts anymore." And in the future, Zizhuyuan will not need to arrange any more girls, if it is not enough, it will be good to arrange two more small girls. ”

Originally, I just wanted to relieve my boredom, but I didn't expect to hear such exciting news, "Are they all sent away, are there any left?" ”

"All of them were sent out, and none of them were left."

What's wrong with this Hua Chang, Chu Shuhuang has a headache, "You go and take a look and ask what's going on?" ”

Chu Shuhuang didn't wait for Qingyu's news, but Hua Chang sent Mama Hua over, "Say hello to Princess Sheng Ping." ”

"Mama, excuse me, what's the matter?"

"Back to the princess, the prince invited the princess to Zizhu Courtyard to talk."

"Okay, I'll go to the main palace in a while." Chu Shuhuang changed his clothes again and went to Zizhu Courtyard.
