The imperial concubine smiled and said: "During the day, the niece of the concubine came to the palace of the concubine, and was rewarded by the emperor and gave a lot of things, and the concubines and concubines in the palace also gave the princess of Wenhui a lot of treasures. Lord Wen Hui is very grateful. After the emperor left, I asked Wen Hui, only to know that Wen Hui, a child, was so loyal that he actually gave away 10% of the income of Shanghai City. The concubine was very moved, so she thought that she should give something more. The concubines came here to ask the emperor for this. ”

When the emperor heard this, he groaned and said, "I am already preparing to give things to Lord Wenhui tomorrow." However, the reward I give is what I give. Concubine Ai is the aunt of Lord Wenhui, so she should also be rewarded. What does the concubine want to reward? ”

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "The concubine gave Wen Hui the three sets of jewelry that the concubine treasured. Of course, Wen Hui is very wealthy, and there is no shortage of these jewelry heads and the like. However, after all, it's a girl, and it's youth, and it's time to dress up, these things, that's not much. Therefore, the concubines were still given three sets. It's just the small head. The concubine thought that such a delicate girl, for the sake of the family, for the court, and for the sake of Dachu, wanted to go to the wild Nanyang to build a city, and she felt distressed. Thinking about the poor family's rich road, how can you give something. I asked her what she lacked. As a result, the emperor guessed what she said? ”

The emperor asked a little strangely, "What do you say?" ”

The imperial concubine said slowly: "Wen Hui is really a child, as soon as I asked, she said that she looked very smart." Others praise her for being smart, and she herself thinks she's smart, but she's just smarter in some way. Instead. Usually girls will be those female red and other things. She couldn't do any of that. This time I went so far to Nanyang, leaving my parents, although there were maids, servants and the like around me, but I still felt that there were fewer people, and I wanted to ask me for a few good needles and threads, like this. Even if you are in the wild South Seas, you can wear beautiful clothes. ”

The emperor laughed when he said this. The emperor has always felt that Chen Wenhui is an extremely smart girl, and even, subconsciously, the emperor regards her as an adult, a courtier, but he didn't expect Chen Wenhui to have such a little girl's side, and he couldn't help laughing. The scruples about Wen Hui in my heart have been reduced a little unconsciously, no matter how talented and intelligent she is, she is just a small delicate girl. I went so far to the South Seas, I don't know what kind of danger I have to face. The difficulties, and the fact that I have just lost such a large amount of income, are not important, but whether you can wear beautiful clothes, even if you are in Nanyang, you have to keep up with the pace of fashion. It's so much fun.

The emperor smiled very happily and said: "Lord Wenhui is loyal and patriotic, stronger than those ministers, a girl's family goes to such a far place, naturally she has to take care of it, and Concubine Ai will pick up a few of the best embroidery girls for her." Well, not only embroiderers, but also more craftsmen, so that even if the lord of Wenhui is in Nanyang, he can use good things. ”

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "The concubine knows that the emperor is the most generous, and she will definitely reward her more, so the concubine ordered someone to select eight embroiderers, eight carpenters, eight jewelry craftsmen, and eight porcelain craftsmen to Wen Hui, this list is all listed, but most of these people belong to the Internal Affairs Office, and they still have to ask the emperor to show them." ”

After saying that, he handed over the list. The emperor didn't even look at it and said: "Aifei is doing very well, I don't need to look at it, I am ready, later, I will send my companion to go to the Internal Affairs Office with the palace maid of Aifei to handle this matter." Yes, you say, is she happy for these craftsmen to Lord Wenhui? ”

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "The county lord jumped up happily and said, in this way, she can wear the most fashionable clothes in Nanyang, use the best porcelain, and live as she wishes." also said that in fact, she lacks nothing, and what she lacks most when she goes to Nanyang is manpower. ”

The emperor's eyes lit up and he said, "Well, there is a shortage of manpower, this is true." After all, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and if you want to develop it well, there is really a shortage of people. Not only are there craftsmen who make clothes and jewelry, but there is also a shortage of carpenters, stonemasons, laborers, farmers, and there are natives, who may be in danger, and wild beasts, so they also need sergeants and martial artists. Well, well, I already know what to do. Speaking of this Wenhui county lord, I really like it from the bottom of my heart, I am really smart and capable, not to mention these, the most rare thing is a pure heart, and I am loyal to Da Chu. ”

The imperial concubine said softly: "That's natural, although Wen Hui's surname is Chen, she was born in the capital, and she is the same as the ordinary eunuch girls in the capital, of course she is loyal." ”

As soon as he said this, the emperor thought of it all at once, he always had a preconceived idea in his heart before, and felt that Chen Wenhui was a member of the Chen family, but he forgot that this Chen Wenhui was born in the capital, and he had never been to the Chen family's clan land in his life, and he was a girl, so he had a poor sense of belonging to the family. Just look at her daughter Princess Lichuan, although she is a royal princess and the most favored child of the emperor, but after getting married, she is not just thinking about how to revitalize the Xu family. For a girl's life, her mother-in-law's house is the home, and her mother's house is just a temporary habitat. Moreover, Chen Yuanheng is a concubine, and this Chen Wenhui wants to have a relationship with those people in the Chen family's mansion in the capital. Seeing that Chen Wenhui is in the palace today, she has a better relationship with Shi Guiren, and she generally understands with Chen Concubine and sisters. Also, Chen Yuanheng is desperately trying to become a branch, saying that he is going to break away from the Chen family in the capital, doesn't this explain the problem? Now, Chen Yuanheng has settled in the capital, and he does not live in the Chen family's mansion in the capital, but buys another house to live in. I can't even live together, which shows that the contradiction is not ordinarily deep. However, every family in the world is like this, and it is normal for the children of the concubine to be suppressed. Therefore, usually for the family, the disciples have a greater sense of belonging, these disciples are the backbone of the family, and the children of the concubines have no sense of belonging, and the family of these disciples will not be vigorously cultivated, and they are generally separated. Chen Wenhui happened to be born in a family of concubines. Of course, Chen Yuanheng's father and daughter are the same, and it seems that their love for the Chen family is not as deep as their love for the imperial court. This is also the reason why the emperor has always loved Chen Yuanheng. In comparison, because Chen Wenhui is a girl and was born in the capital, she rarely has contact with the clan, so her sense of belonging to the family is weaker than that of her father Chen Yuanheng. These are exactly what the emperor likes to see.

The emperor suddenly had an idea in his heart, this Chen Wenhui can be cultivated well. Yes, yes, loyal, capable, and a girl, I am not afraid that I will be powerful in the future and will control the government, after all, a girl will still marry and have children in the future.

Zhao Chonghua on the side was extremely shocked in his heart, how could this Chen Wenhui have never been valued by his two sisters, but he is so rich and powerful. Listening to the dialogue between the emperor and the imperial concubine, it turned out that this Chen Wenhui held the interests of Shanghai City in his hands. This is really big news, and, it seems, the emperor has no intention of making it public. Also, what the imperial concubine said, what is the matter with dedication? Could it be that such a cash cow, Chen Wenhui actually dedicated it to the emperor in vain? How can you give it up? Is she so rich that she doesn't care about it? Anyway, no matter what reason she gave it up, this must have moved the emperor. has been in the palace for so long, and Zhao Chonghua has somewhat touched some of the emperor's preferences. The emperor is very generous to those who are faithful, and he will trust him immensely. This Chen Wenhui, in the future, must pay more attention, maybe in the future, he can become the emperor's most trusted person in the future.

The imperial concubine and the emperor ignored Zhao Chonghua's thoughts on the side, and the imperial concubine seemed to be talking about homely things: "Alas, Wen Hui is very capable, but after all, she is a girl, she is getting older day by day, and she loves beauty, and in three or four years, the emperor will recruit her back." Girls still have to get married, what good in-laws can there be in Nanyang? Naturally, it is better to find a talent with comparable talent in the capital. When the time comes, ask the emperor to marry Wen Hui for the wedding scenery. ”

The emperor was even happier in his heart, if he could give Wen Hui a marriage, then Wen Hui would really be completely separated from the Chen family, who was Wen Hui who broke away from the Chen family? Of course, he is a royal person, because Wen Hui is the county lord and has a grade. Moreover, the son-in-law was also selected by the emperor, and the marriage was also given by the emperor, so Wen Hui's maiden family naturally became royal. Hmph, these families are all arrogant and look down on their own children, but now it's okay, it's easy to come out with a few talents, and all of them are cheap to the royal family. Look at the two younger brothers of the imperial concubine, one is incompetent, the other is treacherous, and they are both useless, so the imperial concubine has not been able to borrow the strength of her mother's family in recent years, and the only capable Chen Yuanheng has been excluded by the family. It's really short-sighted. However, this is fine, just for the emperor. The emperor is not afraid of whether he is a concubine, but only whether he has the ability and whether he is loyal. The more the emperor thought about it, the more cost-effective he felt, it was really a good way, so that he could envelop Chen Wenhui and indirectly envelop Chen Yuanheng's family. The imperial concubine is really the smartest and wisest among her own women, and she really thinks about the royal family.

The emperor was in a good mood and said to the imperial concubine: "Concubine Ai is very thoughtful." Now let's do this first, wait until a few years later, I will issue a holy decree to recall the county lord of Wenhui, she has the best relationship with our Lichuan, and she is a cousin, when the time comes, I will make a contribution, I will find her a good marriage, we will marry her, and in the future, the palace will also be regarded as her maiden home. I will not treat those who are faithful to me. ”

The imperial concubine hurriedly bowed and said, "The concubine Dai Wenhui thanked the emperor." In this way, the concubines will not be kept, and they will have to arrange for people to go to the internal affairs office. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Good." ”

Zhao Chonghua was busy sending the imperial concubine out. (To be continued......)
