Liu Xuan asked Xiao Zhuzi to hand over the account book he took from Liu's Mansion to her, and then took out a book from it and handed it to Qian Dao: "My third uncle has now been taken to the capital, have you ever seen it?" ”

Qian Tong took the account book and nodded: "I met in private, but I just watched it from a distance, and I didn't get the instructions of the young lady, so Qian Tong didn't dare to recognize him." ”

"It's always good to be cautious." Liu Xuan said with a smile: "This is the account book of several shops, you hand this over to my third uncle, and then tell him my identity, just say that this is a gift from me." He has a son named Liu Cheng under his knees, you take him to the second floor of Yipinxiang, let him sit in the hall every day, and let out the words, just say that Yipinxiang has a debater, and whoever can argue better than him will get a hundred taels of silver. ”

After many years of getting along, Qian Tong admired Liu Xuan very much, and when he heard Liu Xuan's instructions, he didn't ask why, but just nodded his head to accept the order.

Liu Xuan looked at him and asked, "Now that Gong Xiao has handed over most of the things to you, have you ever found a way to make money?" ”

Qian Tong was ashamed when he heard this: "Qian Tong is incompetent, but he has worked hard to keep his business." ”

"It's a great talent to be able to keep your business." Liu Xuan said with relief: "If it weren't for you and Xiao Gong, I would be afraid that it would be difficult for me to keep my business, after I go back, you should investigate the livelihood of the major families and tell me about their main livelihoods. ”

Qian Tong nodded when he heard this, and Liu Xuan talked to him for a while, and then let Xiaozhuzi lead him out of the palace.

After Qian Tong left, Liu Xuan looked at the time, as if he had no intention of asking the palace maid on the side: "How do the harem concubines spend their days on weekdays?" ”

The palace maid stepped forward and bowed and replied: "In the harem, except for Shuyi, who has been grounded, the other concubines all went to the queen mother's palace in the morning to ask for peace. Then they went back to the palace. ”

Liu Xuan nodded when she heard this: "There are contacts between them on weekdays. ”

"Naturally, there is." The palace maid replied: "There is no Shuyi in the harem, there are only three masters at present, so naturally there are many movements. ”

Liu Xuan smiled slightly when she heard this, she looked at the palace maid and said, "You say, should I also visit them?" ”

When the palace maid heard this, she knelt down with a pop, and she hurriedly said: "Niangniang, your majesty is worried that you will see them blocking your heart, so you specially ordered them not to come to the Ganlu Hall to disturb Niangniang, but now if you take the initiative to find it." Wouldn't it be a disappointing for His Majesty's painstaking efforts. ”

Liu Xuan immediately smiled when she heard this. He thought he would be choked when he saw those people?

If she had done in the past, after all, it was his past, and those women had been as intimate with him, but now she wouldn't. Because she's the same as him. I have already decided to let go of the past. Even if you don't see those people in the future, it doesn't mean that you don't exist. It's better to face it than to hide.

She raised her eyebrows and said to the palace maid: "You don't have to be like this, it's better to be like this, you first inform Your Majesty of my intentions, and then I will decide whether to go out to visit them." ”

The palace maid nodded yes again and again, and hurriedly got up to report.

It didn't take long for the palace maid to come back, she looked at Liu Xuan with some complexity and said: "Your Majesty already knows what Niangniang means, but Your Majesty said how can you let you visit them, Your Majesty has now sent Gonggong Cui to the palaces to spread the decree, starting tomorrow, after the concubines ask the Queen Mother for peace, they will come to the Ganlu Hall to ask for Niangniang." ”

Liu Xuan nodded to indicate that she knew, and couldn't help but have a trace of sweetness in her heart, his will went down, and a clear-eyed person knew her position, although she was a noble concubine, she was far above all the concubines.

She looked at the palace maid and said, "What is your name, and how long have you been by Your Majesty's side?" ”

The palace maid said respectfully: "Your Majesty gave the name Huajing, and entered the prince's mansion at the age of ten." ”

"It's an old man." Liu Xuan smiled at her: "Since you have been following Your Majesty, you must know the preferences of those concubines?" ”

Hua Jing was asked by her like this, her scalp was a little numb, she didn't know why Liu Xuan asked like this, she had seen it when Liu Xuan went to the Prince's Mansion, and naturally knew the entanglement between His Majesty and Liu Xuan, and when she heard this, she didn't know whether to answer for a while.

She thought for a while before she said: "Your Majesty has always been not very concerned about the affairs of the backyard, and before I met the mother, I never asked who was the bedlady, and most of the affairs in the backyard were taken care of by the father-in-law of Xiaozhu, and the slaves and maids did not know much." ”

Liu Xuan chuckled when she heard this, she looked at Hua Jing and said: "You are a smart person, you will clean yourself up in one sentence, I don't know what the little pillar should look like when he hears your words." ”

After laughing, she sighed: "I don't mean anything else, I naturally understand Your Majesty's intentions, I just want to prepare some things they like, and I should always prepare some gifts when we meet for the first time." ”

Hua Jing heard this, and her heart was relieved, she replied: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry about these little things, the two talented people used to be concubines, and they were not very favored, although they are the children of the official family, but the temper in the backyard has long been worn out over the years, and His Majesty has not seen them in the past two years, so Niangniang can prepare some things at will." ”

"As for Concubine Cao." Hua Jing paused and said: "After Cao Guifei married His Majesty, she has never been out of the backyard, and only once she went out with His Majesty's permission to visit Niangniang, the slave maid knows very little about her, and I heard that she and Niangniang are old friends." ”

Speaking of this, Hua Jing glanced up at Liu Xuan, and then disappeared.

Liu Xuan naturally knew what she meant, and nodded immediately and said, "I am indeed old friends with her." ”

It's just that she didn't say one sentence, she and Cao Ying are only three sides of the relationship, she was moved by Cao Ying to stand up when she was infamous, but she really didn't know much about her, in addition to knowing that Cao Ying liked Li Che, she really didn't know what else she liked.

She thought for a while and ordered: "Prepare some solitary books to give to Cao Guifei, as for the gifts of the two talents, you can look at it and prepare it." ”

Flower Shadow nodded in agreement.

The day passed like this, although Xiao Zhuzi said that Li Che had been busy these days, but in the evening Li Che still sent someone to inform her that he would not come tonight.

Liu Xuan actually knew very well in her heart that Li Che was busy on the one hand, and more importantly, she had just been crowned a concubine. There must be constant admonitions from the outside, and it is not appropriate for him to stay with her every day at this time.

So Liu Xuan rested early that night, and before going to sleep, she specially instructed Dongmei to call her to get up earlier tomorrow.

As soon as the second day was slightly bright, Liu Xuan got up, she specially dressed up today, and then asked Xiaozhu to lead her to the court.

When Xiao Zhuzi heard this request, his jaw almost fell to the ground, and he stammered, "Your Majesty is in the early court...... Empress...... Is it inappropriate for the mother to go at this time? ”

Liu Xuan chuckled when she heard this: "It is precisely because of this time that I will go to the court." ”

After speaking, she instructed Dongmei to take the letter of resignation. She hid the book of resignation in her sleeve. Then he raised his eyebrows at the little pillar and said, "Don't worry, you can lead me there." ”

Seeing her like this, Xiao Zhuzi had to lead her to the court with anxiety.

Above the court, Li Che was sitting on the dragon chair, and below were Cao Taishi and others. They played exactly what I mentioned yesterday about the harem.

Master Cao bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Ages. How can you be criticized for the harem? The ministers asked His Majesty to accept the harem. With the best mouth in the world! ”

"The ministers seconded it!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

Above the court, except for the Liu family, the military attache did not move.

When he first set out to conquer the Liao State, Li Che's words were still vivid in his ears, and those military attachés looked at the kneeling ministers. It's like looking at a group of fools, doesn't it say that civil officials are the best at observing words and feelings? Isn't it said that civil officials are the best at figuring out the divine will? How can you be so stupid in this matter!

Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhi Qing Liu Zhi have clear eyes, nose and nose, and heart, and think that they are transparent.

Sun Xun stood beside Liu Zhiqing and lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence.

Just as the voices of the ministers seconded the proposal resounded above the court, Cui Laifu's voice suddenly sounded: "Liu Guifei asks to see her!" ”

Li Che raised his eyebrows almost invisibly when he heard this: "Xuan!" ”

The ministers of the court and the central government exchanged their heads one after another, and this Liu Guifei came to the court early in the morning to do something.

The father and son of the Liu family and Sun Xun glanced at the door, and their faces were also puzzled.

Liu Xuan entered the hall step by step under the leadership of the small pillar, she ignored the suspicious gaze of the crowd, and came to the front position after going up to the court, and knelt down with a pop.

Li Che looked at her and his eyes lit up slightly: "What do you mean by this matter?" ”

Liu Xuan raised her head, her big eyes were stained with mist, she bit her red lips and her face was full of grievances, she choked up and said, "How did Your Majesty promise your concubine and the prince in the first place?" Why did the concubine hear that His Majesty wanted to recruit the harem as soon as she entered the palace? ”

Li Che touched his nose, as if he was a little weak-hearted, he coughed lightly and said, "I don't remember much about what happened a long time ago." ”

Liu Xuan suddenly sobbed softly when she heard this, she took out a letter from her sleeve with teary eyes, raised her hand high and then raised it, the height and the angle of the rise, just so that the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu could see the big word "Hugh Shu" on the envelope.

She raised her eyes to look at Li Che, and there seemed to be a cry in her voice: "Your Majesty doesn't remember much, but the concubine remembers it clearly, when the emperor was alive, there were rumors among the people that the concubine was the reincarnation of the fox, and the concubine remembered it clearly. ”

Speaking of this, everyone nodded, and look, at that time, Liu Guifei's reputation was already in disrepute.

Liu Xuan wiped a handful of tears and said: "At the beginning, I was ordered by Your Majesty to go to the border pass to deliver food, but when I heard that Your Majesty married a side concubine, I had a gap with Your Majesty on the spur of the moment, but didn't Your Majesty also withdraw from the marriage of the concubine?" Your Majesty also knows that the concubine and the prince have no selfish relationship, and His Majesty said this matter in front of the students of the world. ”

She seemed to be more aggrieved as she spoke, and her eyes were full of tears: "The first emperor heard rumors that the concubine and the prince had a relationship, so the concubine was given to marry the son, and on the day of the wedding, you said to the prince in person, you have a concubine in your heart, but the emperor's edict you have to follow, the prince asked the concubine's heart, knowing that the concubine and you are in love, so the wedding night did not enter the new house and wrote a letter of resignation. ”

Speaking of this, she finally cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are grateful to the prince for his righteousness, and he once said in front of the prince that he would never fail his concubines, and even swore that he would never accept the harem until the concubines were pregnant and gave birth to Lin'er!" ”

She looked up and tears slid down her face, soaking the ground, and she cried loudly: "You have no jokes, Your Majesty! The concubine just moved into the harem yesterday, and now I heard that you want to recruit the harem, is the king of a country going to be the villain who rebels! ”

"Ridiculous!" Before Li Che could speak, Taishi Cao on the side reprimanded: "Although the noble concubine is a noble concubine, she is still a woman, not to mention that you trespassed into the court today, even your remarks are extremely absurd!" If you have never been pregnant, can't Your Majesty fill the harem?! The imperial heir is related to the great cause of my Li dynasty! How can the concubine say it? ”

Liu Xuan didn't argue when she was reprimanded, she just looked up at Li Che with a tear-stained face and asked, "Is Your Majesty really going to break your word?" ”

Hearing her words, several ministers suddenly stood up and were about to open their mouths to reprimand, when they heard Li Che on the high seat say lightly: "I did promise to you. ”

In one sentence, the ministers were blocked from opening their mouths, and the ministers were suddenly embarrassed, what should they say at this time? Your Majesty is just joking for a while, can't you take it seriously? Or even if His Majesty says it, it can't be counted?

Taishi Cao was obviously angry, he turned to look at Li Che and leaned over and saluted: "Your Majesty think twice, how can you not accept the harem because of a joke?" This...... Isn't this a shame for the world! ”

Li Che's face also seemed to show a hint of embarrassment, and he said leisurely: "You have no jokes." ”

Taishi Cao choked when he heard this, and he took a few breaths before he said: "If Concubine Liu Guifei has been pregnant, will Your Majesty always refuse to accept the harem?" ”

Li Che sighed when he heard this, he looked at Liu Xuan and said: "I naturally remember what I should do, you were brought into the capital by the prince of Ning Wang, and you are close friends with him. ”

Liu Xuan heard that he wanted to say something more, but Taishi Cao on the side hurriedly opened his mouth, but this time the object of his reprimand changed from Liu Xuan to Mrs. Liu, and he said angrily to Mrs. Liu: "Mrs. Liu is a great Confucian in the world, everyone in the world knows that Mrs. Liu is the most important courtesy, and the family style of the Liu family is even more rigorous. ”

Mrs. Liu frowned when he heard this, he looked at Mrs. Cao, who was already angry, and said lightly: "Master Taishi is cautious, Xuan'er is now the honor of the noble concubine, even if the master is dissatisfied with her, he can't judge her shamelessly." ”

One sentence made Taishi Cao dumbfounded.

Mrs. Liu said again: "Although it is inappropriate for the noble concubine to trespass into the court, it is also excusable in an emergency, and His Majesty promised this matter first, as His Majesty said, you have no jokes." (To be continued......)
