Zhong Lichun sat listlessly on the bed, letting Jun Mowen put himself on the bed and cover the quilt, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and turned around and entered the palace, she turned over and over, unable to sleep.

Jun Mo asked her to toss and turn, put down the red pen, walked to the bed, gently pulled her up, and held her in his arms, "Shuang'er, you know why I want to hide my identity, because when you were unconscious, I heard you say in person, I don't want to enter the palace again, I am afraid of losing you, and secondly, I don't know if I can successfully ascend the throne, in case they become the emperor, I am a wandering martial arts person, so I will hide it from you, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, I really care about you and like you." Looks have nothing to do with looks. ”

"Jun Mo asked, do you think I really have low self-esteem and don't want to enter the palace because of my appearance? And that's just a small part of it. ”

"What's the reason for that, didn't I tell you? In this life, you will never be a concubine, you are the only one in the harem, and you don't have to worry about those women being jealous and competing for favor. ”

Zhong Lichun sighed faintly, "Since ancient times, it has often been said that it is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauties. In fact, the most unbearable thing is the emperor's favor, and it is the only favor in the harem, as long as there is a little bit wrong, it will be scolded as a disaster for the country and the people. When the time comes, she doesn't know how she will die, and even the king is sometimes powerless to protect her. ”

Jun Mo asked and thought of his mother, and his heart was like a knife, "Don't worry, Shuang'er, if that day really comes, I will give up everything and can't live together, then it's okay to die together!" I can always control my life and death! ”

Zhong Lichun's heart was shocked, he raised his bright eyes and looked at him deeply, and then covered his eyelids, "Jun Mo asked, okay, I know your mind." I'll move into the palace tomorrow, and you'll have peace of mind! Rest assured, for the sake of the child, I am willing to give it a try. ”

"Shuang'er, I will not let the tragedy of my mother repeat itself in you, believe me, I will definitely do what I say. I won't let you be wronged. ”

"Well, I believe you. By the way, what happened to the concubine? Zhong Lichun asked curiously.

Jun Mowen sighed, and said that the mother and the father met and knew each other until life and death were separated. After that, she hugged her and said: "How similar things are in the world, if it really comes to that day, I will not ignore you like my father, I would rather abandon everything to keep you safe, I will not look forward and backward like my father, be indecisive, and finally end up depressed."

Zhong Lichun nestled in his arms, "I believe you can do it, it's just that I've seen too much of the secret history of the palace wall, I'm too scared." I'm afraid that one day, you won't be able to protect me, in short, I am willing to give everything for you and your children. Even if it was a broken bone, I had nothing to fear. ”

Zhong Lichun's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his tone was firm. Jun Mowen finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she let go of her worries and willingly entered the palace with her.

Zhong Lichun pushed him, "Jun Mo asked, you haven't approved today's recital yet!" Hurry up and approve it! I'm going to help you too! Finish the batch early and take a break. ”

"Well, don't you sleep and rest?"

"I'm not tired, I can't sleep anyway, my body hurts when I lie down too much."

"Okay, I'll carry you over." After Jun Mo asked, he hugged someone with the quilt, half of the brocade quilt was placed on the chair, and half of the bed was covered on Zhong Lichun's body. Only then did he bow his head and put pen to paper to deal with state affairs with satisfaction.

Zhong Lichun tucked it in his waist and abdomen, stretched out his hand to take the fold and read it, and discussed it with Jun Mo. There are so many things, and the two hit it off. Jun Mo asked and quickly gave instructions, as for the red tape and customs of the Ministry of Rites, as long as Zhong Lichun opened his mouth, he would take it and wave it, and he didn't look at it. After a while, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites have been streamlined a lot, saving a lot of manpower and material resources. Jun Mo asked, but he felt that today's recital was finished in three or two clicks. When he put down Zhu Pi, it was just dinner time. The two rested for the night.

The next day, Jun Mo asked the first thing about the court, and excitedly announced to the hundred officials that Zhong Lichun had agreed to enter the palace. All the officials congratulated in unison. Jun Mowen hurriedly went down to the court, and then flew all the way to the Zhijun Mansion. Zhong Lichun had been waiting for Hou for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he smiled brightly, Jun Mo asked carefully to carry her on the phoenix, and really carried her into the palace and stayed in the Feng'an Palace.

Zhong Lichun looked at the familiar table and chair furnishings, and sighed in his heart, I don't know if I can live in peace this time, I hope there will be no more branches.

Jun Mowen was full of joy, took her off the phoenix, put her on the bed and said cautiously: "Shuang'er, I have already ordered Qintian to supervise the calculation, three days later, it will be the auspicious day of the zodiac, although the time is a little rushed, but I should prepare them all ready, what do you think?" ”

"Three days later, isn't it the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month? There are three days left until Chinese New Year's Eve, Jun Mo asked, I have a request, can you agree? Zhong Lichun said after pondering for a moment.

"What a request. Let's hear it. ”

"I don't think there will be a ,......。 for the post-closure ceremony in three days." Before Zhong Lichun could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jun Mowen.

"How's that going to work? I can't let you follow me like this for the rest of your life. ”

"Jun Mo asked, it's not too late for you to listen to me before making a decision."

"Okay, then tell me why you want to cancel the post-closure ceremony."

"Jun Mo asked, I didn't say that I wanted to cancel the post-closure ceremony, I just wanted to hold it together on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two ceremonies would be combined into one, first, I would suffer less toss, and second, I could save a lot of silver." Look at the weather, the snow is falling, just now I saw a lot of beggars on the phoenix chariot tired and hiding in the cold wind in the bridge hole, shivering under the eaves. I want to buy cotton clothes from the silver saved in the post-closure ceremony and distribute them to those who are not clothed, plus two large steamed buns per person to make them feel better. Do you say okay? ”

"Okay, why not, Frost, you're so clever. I will immediately ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to calculate how much silver can be saved by combining the two into one, and all of them will be bought in your name on the 26th day of the lunar month and distributed as cotton clothes and steamed buns. In this way, your virtuous name will spread far and wide, and I am afraid that no queen in all dynasties will do this. You've set a precedent. ”

Zhong Lichun smiled brightly, "Since I want to favor the harem alone, of course I have to leave a way back for myself first, so that I can enter the hearts of the people first, and even if there is something wrong in the future, the people will also remember my kindness and will not force me to death, right?" And for you, the emperor, to collect the hearts of the people! ”

"Okay, Shuang'er, you are really virtuous, you deserve to be a generation of virtuous queens, and getting this queen is a blessing for the people of Chu and a blessing for the people in the world."

When the officials of the Ministry of Rites heard the emperor's urgent summons, they dared to slack off and hurriedly summoned him into the palace, seeing that Qian Yi did not bring him to the Qinzheng Palace, but Feng'an Palace, they couldn't help but be surprised, what did the queen who had just entered the palace do when she summoned herself into the palace? Is there any objection to the post-closure ceremony? The head of the Ministry of Rites was uneasy, and he walked into Feng'an Palace with Qian Yi tremblingly.

As soon as he saw the emperor and queen sitting side by side, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Wen Wenli, the head of the Ministry of Etiquette, see the emperor, the queen." I don't know why the emperor summoned Weichen into the palace? ”

Jun Mowen smiled slightly, "Aiqing, don't be polite, Shu just discussed with the empress about the post-sealing ceremony three days later, and the empress is righteous, advising Yuan to cancel the post-sealing ceremony three days later, and change it to Chinese New Year's Eve and the two will be combined into one and held together." ”

"The emperor is sage, the queen is virtuous." Wen Wenli was overjoyed, and the two became one, so that the Ministry of Rites did not have to be busy and dizzy, day and night, and did not need to find manual help everywhere, so that it could be easily done.

Jun Mo asked and shook his head repeatedly, "No need to thank me, you should thank the queen mother." It was she who was sympathetic to her subjects and had a benevolent heart. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother's kindness!" Wen Wenli kowtowed to Zhong Lichun.

Zhong Lichun smiled slightly, "Aiqing, no courtesy, you estimate, how much money can you save if the two are combined into one?" ”

"How much money can I save?" Wen Wenli was stunned for a moment, what does the queen mean, do you want to take the saved silver for yourself. If she doesn't think about it right, she is the mother of a country, will she still lack silver, she must have guessed wrong. So he replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the queen of the ceremony, the ministers have estimated that it will cost about more than one million taels of silver, and if the two are one, then at least more than 800,000 taels can be saved." ”

"Okay, instruct the household department to buy cotton jackets and steamed buns for 800,000 taels of silver, which must be completed within three days, and be issued to the poor people in the name of the queen on the 26th day of the lunar month, one cotton dress per person, two steamed buns, this is a great gift from the queen to the people, if the household department is not enough, it will be drawn from other ministries, and it will not be prepared on the twenty-sixth and distributed in the imperial city square. This must be done well, and there must be no mistakes! ”

Jun Mowen waved a big pen, a holy decree was sent to the household department, and after receiving the order, the household officials immediately deployed manpower to rush to make cotton clothes day and night, and also bought cotton cloth and cotton everywhere, purchased cotton clothes, and organized people to recruit a large number of women from the people to work together to sew together.

Jun Mowen also ordered all branches of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion to purchase cotton clothes and fabrics and send them to Yingzhou as soon as possible. Everything is because of Zhong Lichun's words, and many people are busy without sleep. Zhong Lichun also knows that I don't know how many people are busy because of their own words, but it is better than letting the Ministry of Ceremonies spend money on useless places, even if a little deduction is given to the ministries, at least two or three hundred thousand people can have a warm year on Chinese New Year's Eve this year.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the Imperial City Square was crowded with people, and many people heard the news from other places, Zhong Lichun instructed the idle personnel of the Junfu to also go down to help distribute it, and instructed Shi Cheng to transfer a group of guards to maintain law and order, and the order was signed and left immediately, and was not allowed to stay in the square.

The people who received the cotton clothes smiled happily and praised the new emperor Shengming, the queen was benevolent, and cherished the people.

However, it must be a short time, insufficient preparation, only two days, the cotton clothes have been distributed, many people can not receive the cotton clothes and refuse to leave, the household officials looked at a pile of cotton cloth and cotton, worried round and round, into the palace to ask how to deal with it.

Zhong Lichun smiled slightly, "Since it's too late to do it, then no matter how big or small each person is ten feet of cloth, let them take home two catties of cotton and sew it by themselves, and send more people to distribute it tomorrow night." ”

"The minister will thank you, and the minister will go down immediately to prepare." The household official was surprised and delighted, and he was also worried that if he messed up the errand, the queen would blame himself, but he didn't expect the mother to solve the problem easily with a word.
