The emperor was coming to the Ganlu Hall in the middle of the night, and everyone was halfway there.

Queen Chu, who had already gone to bed, got the news of Grandma Sun, and was so excited that she trembled, her lips opened and closed, and she couldn't speak neatly and called someone to help her change her clothes.

Mama Sun, who squinted her eyes, said happily while helping to help: "It's okay now, the emperor is here by himself, and we don't need to look for opportunities anymore." As the old saying goes, a husband and wife for a hundred days, after all, you and the emperor are married couples, and the emperor is still thinking about you, otherwise he wouldn't have come in the middle of the night! You must be more leisurely later, don't mention the affairs of our Chu Mansion......"

"Mama don't worry, how can this palace be so ignorant...... Even if "for the sake of Xinrou, she has to coax the emperor well, what kind of mother is in the world, without the support of the emperor, she even lost the right to take care of the harem, and she cheapened Concubine Yu's slut.

Empress Chu understands the grievances of the emperor in the past few years, all because her father Chu Guogong is too domineering, and those things cannot be revealed in the heart of the emperor today. If you really want to pardon the Duke of Chu, you can only wait until Huangfu Tianyou ascends the throne before plotting, and then she will be the queen mother, and a filial hat will be pressed down, and Huangfu Tianyou will not be obedient.

When Emperor Chongde's imperial chariot stopped in front of the Ganlu Palace, the lights in the Ganlu Hall were bright, although the Queen of Chu was already dressed, it was too late to put on makeup, and in a hurry, the Queen of Chu could only pick up the lipstick and take a slight sip, so her face looked a little bad, and she was a little sluggish in the mirror, which made the Queen of Chu stunned, how long had she not slept peacefully?

A room of palace maids who had not had time to retreat, knelt down in an uproar, and greeted Emperor Chongde who strode in, Empress Chu took a deep breath to calm down the ups and downs in her heart, and slowly turned to Emperor Chongde and saluted: "The concubines welcome the emperor." ”

Queen Chu under the lights, bent her knees and bent over, her voice was slightly haggard, but her expression was calm and unprecedented, which coincided with the feeling of the three girls of the Song family during the day.

After a long time, the queen was a little physically exhausted. Emperor Chongde, who was in a slight trance, replied to his senses, "Get up", and helped the crumbling Queen Chu up.

When her fingertips, which were cold due to nervousness, touched the warm and dry palm of Emperor Chongde, Empress Chu felt sour for a moment. Once upon a time, the king in front of her was also very kind to her, and the sweetness of the two when they were newly married was like yesterday, and I remember that when their eldest son was born, he guarded them all night. It seems that no matter how you look at it, you can't see enough, and since when has there been a gap between the two?

By the way, after the emperor ascended the throne, his father did not retire as agreed in advance, but unscrupulously installed his own people in the court, and she in the harem also obeyed her father's wishes and began to suppress other concubines. It was also from that time that the emperor began to favor low-ranking women, until their eldest son died, and the relationship between the two never returned.

Emperor Chongde waved his sleeves, and the people in the palace in the Ganlu Hall receded like a tide, leaving only the emperor and queen looking at each other and silent.

It was still Empress Chu who recovered from her past memories first, and said with a gentle smile: "It's getting late, the emperor will be early tomorrow, and the concubines are waiting for the emperor to change his clothes......"

"No, I just can't sleep to come and see. After a while, he will leave ......" Raising his hand to block the hands of Empress Chu who were holding him up, Emperor Chongde lowered his eyes and said.

Empress Chu, who had a disappointed look on her face, slowly withdrew her hand and clenched it in her sleeve, and there were tears in her eyes. But he still smiled: "Why is it difficult for the emperor to sleep, but the imperial doctor has seen it?" ”

"I went to Yueqing Houfu today and saw the three girls of the Song family" Emperor Chongde closed his eyes, and the Song family Rumu with his back to him appeared in front of him, and the familiarity that the little girl gave him in her gestures did not need to say much in front of the queen. He frowned and asked himself, what was the point? But he still followed his own wishes, and said quietly: "I have always felt that Xincheng looks like you, and it is only today that I found out that the three girls of the Song family are actually more like you, not that they look alike, but that she smiles and smiles, and they are all the same as when you were not out of the cabinet." ”

The speechless Empress Chu frowned and slanted at Emperor Chongde in contemplation, and secretly said that she was like the three girls of the Song family? What's the world's ridiculous joke? Could it be that the emperor took a fancy to their prospective daughter-in-law and was ready to include her in the harem, so he found this kind of excuse?

Haha, this is something to see, when Emperor Chongde Fu Lei said to the crown prince Fu Tianyou, let her guess, will the three girls of the Song family die violently for no reason, or will they continue to be her crown princess?

Empress Chu decided to follow Emperor Chongde's thoughts, so she pretended to be generous and said with dignity: "The emperor wants her to enter the palace with a different identity?" ”

Empress Chu, who maliciously kicked Emperor Chongde, couldn't help but feel good when she thought of the extremely evil place, and couldn't help but giggle out loud, although her appearance was haggard due to long-term insomnia, but after all, she was much better than ordinary women, so this smile was a little moving, and after a closer look, it was really similar to Song Rumu.

Emperor Chongde gritted his teeth, the masseter muscles of his cheeks tightened, since Yueqing Houfu came out, those inexplicable tenderness in his heart instantly came to naught, and the only thing left was regret, the streamer changed him, and also changed her, and he couldn't go back, those green years that made him reminisce for half a life, the girl who made him throb in the plum blossom forest on that year, that month, and that day, has been turned beyond recognition by this supreme right.

Emperor Chongde, who Huo Ran got up, lifted his robe, and strode away from the splendid Manna Hall without looking back, leaving Queen Chu who was standing there at a loss.

The lights of the Ganlu Hall were burned until dawn and were not extinguished, except for Mama Sun, no one dared to go in to disturb the angry queen mother, until Chu Xinrou, who came to ask for peace, entered the palace door, and the queen of Chu wailed, hugging Chu Xinrou with an ignorant face.

A few days later, Emperor Chongde insisted on going his own way, regardless of the opposition of the ministers, and decided on a new tax system, since then, the entire Huangfu Heavenly Dynasty, in addition to the imperial examination of the Xiucai to raise people to Jinshi, can be exempted from the limited land tax, regardless of the surname of the scholar or the nobles, all need to pay taxes and grain to the court according to the actual amount of land, and not more than five out of ten to replace it with silver.

Later, Emperor Chongde not only rewarded the Yueqing Houfu who took the lead in collecting grain, but also praised the Song family in Mocheng, and at the same time, ordered the Ministry of Rites to step up preparations for the prince's wedding.

On the fifth day of November, the cold wind blew off the last fallen leaves on the branches, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, together with the Ministry of Rites, offered Song Rumu, the eldest daughter of Yueqing Houfu, to be hired by the crown prince Fu Tianyou.

Due to the war in the northwest of the country, the prince's dowry was streamlined, but the number and variety were so large, and the exquisite luxury of the things was still amazing.

For these, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites are really helpless, it is said that there have been two or three generations of emperors in the Huangfu Heavenly Dynasty, all of whom have ascended the throne directly from the prince. The position of the crown prince has been vacant for too long, not to mention such a major event as the prince marrying the crown princess, which needs to be traced back to four generations ago.

Emperor Chengzu four generations ago, was the most famous miser for thousands of years, and the Emperor Fu Heavenly Dynasty at that time was not only full of silver in the household grain, but also the silver money in the inner treasury was rusty and could not be used up. Full of gold and silver, even if he is the ancestor of Scrooge, he can't help but be generous to his only precious son, and the consequence of throwing a lot of money is to suffer the current Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Referring to the list of Renzong's wedding, which was still the crown prince, the Ministry of Rites asked Emperor Chongde to agree, and after it was reduced by forty percent, it still made the people of the capital stunned. As for the dowry prepared by the royal family for Song Rumu, it made the household vomit blood, is this a daughter-in-law? This is simply the emperor's unscrupulousness, and he is ready to move all the silver of the Huangfu Heavenly Dynasty to the prince and his wife.

Hubu Shangshu and Shilang cried on the court, and when they woke up, they changed from a member who opposed the new tax system to a hardcore member who supported the new tax system.

A few days later, the post soldiers reported urgently for 600 miles, and Shanxi Guo's reversed.

After the fall of the Chu family, the Guo family's power in the court was mostly implicated, and the children of the family were even more suppressed.

Guo's military proposal did not specifically say who was next to the king of the Qing Dynasty, but everyone secretly guessed that it must be the Tubaozi Houfu of Yueqing Houfu, after all, they took the lead in paying for grain, which made the emperor who tasted the sweetness think of implementing a new tax system.

The Northwest Army is swearing to resist foreign enemies, but there are people in Shanxi who are connected to it, if the anti-army does not advance and pushes back, and colludes with foreign enemies to attack the Northwest Army, the consequences will be unimaginable, Emperor Chongde locked himself in the imperial study, thinking about the generals who can lead troops in the court, and the possibility of the imperial conquest.

Haishou came to report, and the prince asked to see him outside the palace.

Song Rumu, who has always been frightened since a few days ago, can't calm down when she reads, she will prick her hand when embroidering her bedclothes, and she can hit the pillar even when she walks, Song Ruixi and Lan Qing laughed at her if she was in a hurry to marry the prince, and Song Rumu, who couldn't find the reason, almost believed this kind of joke.

But when the news of the prince's personal expedition to Shanxi came, she miraculously calmed down, and at the moment of the Northwest War and the implementation of a new policy by the imperial court, the prince's expedition was really the best choice.

From the news that Huangfu Tianyou was about to go on an expedition, Song Rumu asked people to find a bunch of strange things, and then locked himself in the room without sleeping, except for eating and congratulating, and never stepped out of the door.

On the third day, Xuanling and the others couldn't stay up, for fear that Song Rumu would have a good time, so they went to find Song Han and Song Nianzhi and asked them to persuade Song Rumu.

Who would have thought that the father and son came out soon after entering the door, and they didn't say anything, just let a few people take care of the young lady's diet.

Huangfu Tianyou, who was busy with the dispatch of troops every day, got the news of Xuanling, and was worried that it was the news that he was going to go on an expedition, which frightened Song Rumu, thinking that when she was in Mocheng that day, she couldn't afford to be ill and almost died, so she couldn't care about the rule of not meeting before marriage.

When the night was dark and the wind was high, Huangfu Tianyou, who was dressed in night clothes, was led by a double spy Xuanling, and easily came to Song Rumu's boudoir.

The candle flame in the window flickered and swayed, and the emperor frowned, it is said that this situation has lasted for three days, why don't you know to cherish yourself so much?

There was a loud "bang" in the room, followed by Song Rumu's cry of pain.

Huangfu Tianyou, who was about to push the door in, was so shocked that his heart and gall were broken, and he flew up and rushed in. (To be continued.) )
