Xiao Tianyu had to see Fu Feichen's face when she was in the City Lord's Mansion, and now that she was back in the palace, everyone was revolving around her, her vanity was greatly satisfied, and that kind of self-respecting domineering spirit came up again.

Concubine Ning's gentle words coaxed Xiao Tianyu very happy, and Concubine Ning saw that Xiao Tianyu was in a very good mood, so she took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, it is better to come to the palace of the concubine tonight, the concubine also wants to give birth to a cute little princess like Princess Changle." ”

Xiao Tianyu said helplessly: "Concubine Ning, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and it is not easy to have sex." Xiao Tianyu turned to intimidate Concubine Ning, "If you are so impatient, do you want me to find you some guards to satisfy you?" ”

Concubine Ning was so frightened that her face turned white, for fear that Xiao Tianyu was telling the truth, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want it, the concubine hasn't seen Your Majesty for almost two months, the concubine doesn't think about tea and dinner every day, and now that Your Majesty is back, the concubine wants to accompany Your Majesty, and the concubine ......"

Xiao Tianyu collapsed back into the soft pillow, found a comfortable position, and then said slowly: "Get up." I'll dine with me tonight. Concubine Ning, you should know that I'm not really keen on sex, right? ”

Concubine Ning stood up and said cautiously: "Concubine doesn't know, Concubine just thinks that Your Majesty doesn't come to the harem many times, no matter whether Your Majesty comes to the concubine or goes to Sister Xian, it is conducive to spreading branches and leaves for Your Majesty." ”

It was another branch and leaf, and Xiao Tianyu was irritable in his heart, "Get out!" Go back to Zhongcui Palace, I don't want to see you again! ”

Concubine Ning's little face had completely lost her blood, and she knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean it, Your Majesty, please forgive the concubine once." ”

Xiao Tianyu looked at Gu Yunlong, Gu Yunlong stepped forward and forcibly pulled Ning Concubine away, how could Ning Concubine, a weak woman, break free from Gu Yunlong's shackles? Even if he was unwilling, he was still dragged out by Gu Yunlong.

Gu Yunlong was still very ruthless when he should be ruthless, when Ning Concubine was favored in the past, Gu Yunlong did not accept bribes from Ning Concubine, but now Ning Concubine has fallen out of favor, and just now Xiao Tianyu was so angry, Gu Yunlong decisively got rid of Ning Concubine, and thought in his heart to please Concubine Xian another day.

Lu Guling returned to Shangshu's mansion, she couldn't eat dinner, but she still had to sit at the dinner table, and she still had something to share with Shang Shuling.

"Dad, Concubine Ning used to bully her sister often, I heard that Concubine Ning didn't know what annoyed Your Majesty, and Your Majesty threw her out directly, which is really happy. Now that my sister has the power to take charge of the six palaces, and Concubine Ning has been thrown out, those subordinates may not know how to bully Concubine Ning! Anyway, I'm very happy now. ”

Shang Shuling glanced at Lu Guling, "Gu Ling, that's Your Majesty's family matter, you can't talk about it arrogantly, you know?" Now that your sister is in a better situation, that's a good thing, but she can't be proud, otherwise in the future, Your Majesty will open the palace and take concubines, and the virtuous concubines will still suffer. ”

Lu Guling exclaimed: "Won't it!?" His Majesty has told me that he does not like to have too many women, which will irritate him because he thinks that women will only cause him trouble. ”

Mrs. Lu frowned and said, "Is Your Majesty really saying that?" ”

Lu Guling said with certainty: "That's right! That's what Your Majesty said. ”

"Don't worry about it, whether Your Majesty wants it or not, sooner or later you will have to fill the harem, none of the emperors of the previous dynasties are like Your Majesty, there are only two people in the harem. The ministers of the court have asked His Majesty many times to take a concubine. Shang Shuling said lightly.

Lu Guling's eyes widened, "Dad, what about my sister?" Will she be bullied by those concubines again? ”

Shang Shuling was quite calm, "Then it depends on how she deals with it, Your Majesty is a person who misses the old love very much, and the virtuous concubine actually doesn't have any big handle in the hands of others, she won't have anything." ”

Lu Guling took out a sign from his waist, "Dad, this is given to me by His Majesty, he said that with this brand, you can enter and exit the palace at will." ”

Shang Shuling put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, took the sign and looked through it carefully, and then returned it to Lu Guling, with a little shock in his eyes, "Gu Ling, this brand is very useful, you have to be careful to put it away, if you encounter danger one day, you can find someone from the court, show this token, maybe it will save your life." Gu Ling, Your Majesty really loves you, you have to be obedient, don't make Your Majesty angry, accompany the king like a tiger, Your Majesty loves you, it doesn't mean that you can be presumptuous. ”

Mrs. Lu had other plans in her heart, "Gu Ling, since you can enter and leave the palace casually, then you have to tell the virtuous concubine what your father said just now, and usually accompany the virtuous concubine more, Your Majesty goes to the harem less, the deep palace is lonely, and the virtuous concubine suffers." ”

Shang Shuling's eyes flickered, the affairs of the harem are really not something that these courtiers can discuss, but he is so worried about his daughter, he misses her so much!

Fu Feichen also missed Xiao Tianyu a lot, but he also heard that a few days after he left, Xiao Tianyu left, and his spies were lost when they followed Xiao Tianyu, but looking at the direction, Xiao Tianyu should have returned to the capital.

Fu Feichen secretly made up his mind that he must find Cao Qing in the capital this time and let her see his determination.

Xiao Tianyu sat in the imperial study, and standing below was the Ministry of Rites, this time there were two small countries to establish diplomatic relations - Jingguo and Weiguo, Jingguo's envoy arrived first, the envoy was Fu Anyang, the second prince of Jingguo, and Fu Feichen, the third prince, Xiao Tianyu almost screamed after seeing the list!

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu saw that Xiao Tianyu was a little distracted, and thought that Xiao Tianyu was nervous about establishing diplomatic relations.

"Your Majesty, my Feng country is a big country, and Jingguo and Weiguo are just small countries, and they came to establish diplomatic relations with us, in fact, they want to be our vassal countries. In recent years, China's military strength has risen sharply, our country is vast and the people are rich, although there is a flood in the Hujiang River, but it is only a matter of time to expand outward! They wanted to come to establish diplomatic relations because they wanted to beg us not to attack them, so even if His Majesty despised them, they did not dare to say anything. ”

Xiao Tianyu knew that the Ministry of Rites had misunderstood, but he didn't plan to explain, a weak country has no diplomacy, so Xiao Tianyu doesn't have to bother so much about diplomacy.

"The Ministry of Rites is still a book, a weak country is a weak country! The number of gifts that should be given should be given, so as not to be said by others that we look down on small countries, you have to be careful, this is up to you to deal with, and you can't make mistakes. If those princes dare to be reckless on our territory, for example, if they interfere with the people, they will be sent directly to the yamen, and the law will deal with it as it should be. ”

"Yes."

The envoy team of Jingguo and Weiguo was originally received by the Ministry of Rites Shangshu at the city gate, and Xun Lingjun learned that one of Jingguo's envoys was actually Fu Feichen, so he went to find Xiao Tianyu.

Xun Lingjun sighed with emotion: "It turns out that Fu Feichen has been lurking in us for a long time, if it weren't for this time, I wouldn't have known that he was the third prince of Jingguo." ”

Xiao Tianyu was puzzled: "Isn't that the third prince?" He didn't even change his name, so he went to Yidu to be a parent official, what did those people in the ministry do to eat? ”

Xun Lingjun coughed dryly, "Your Majesty, Jingguo is not a big country, and the three princes are not favored, his mother is not from Jingguo, and her status is low, it is said that when the emperor of Jingguo was still the prince, he went to a foreign country to establish diplomatic relations, and he was fortunate to have a palace maid, and then there were three princes." In short, the three princes are not qualified to inherit the throne, and Jingguo is not a big country, so there is no need to pay attention to the three princes. ”

Xiao Tianyu's face darkened, "I will ask the officials to sort out the officials, and the officials who have already taken office will also conduct background checks, what does the prime minister think?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Tianyu remembered Yidu, who didn't have a city lord, "Prime Minister, what should Yidu do now?" Now that the Yidu dragons have no leader, it is easier to start, and there is a city on my territory that is controlled by other countries, and I am very worried. ”

Xun Lingjun arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, we have control of their evidence, it can be said that they are famous, but let's see if we can rotate the guards of Yidu, if we can, we don't have to fight, we are now empty in the treasury, and it is difficult to move troops." ”

Xiao Tianyu pulled a piece of letter paper and began to write a letter, this matter still has to be done by General Huwei, and they just moved their mouths, does this also mean that they are going to see Concubine Ning? Annoying people, that Fu Feichen is really a person who can make trouble.

Xun Lingjun's playful heart suddenly came up, "Your Majesty, you said, if Fu Feichen saw the two of us, how funny his expression would be." ”

"Prime Minister, you're naughty." Xiao Tianyu said with a smile.

Xun Lingjun smiled, as if spring flowers were blooming, and the whole person became brighter, much better than the old man who had a straight face all day before.

Xiao Tianyu gloated and suggested: "Prime Minister, the work of receiving the mission is done by the Ministry of Rites, why don't you go with you?" ”

Xun Lingjun politely refused: "Your Majesty, Jingguo is really small, and it is relatively weak, letting the Ministry of Rites Shangshu go to receive it is already giving enough face, if the minister also goes, how does the outside world think of our Fengguo?" When His Majesty received the Jingguo delegation in the imperial study, the minister pretended to come over to report to His Majesty. ”

"It's worthy of being a prime minister, and thinking about things is more thoughtful than me." Xiao Tianyu offered a sycophant.

The envoy of the Jingguo mission is Fu Anyang, and Fu Feichen is just an ordinary member of the mission, and he has not been given any name, which makes Fu Feichen feel puzzled, but he is not good friends with Fu Anyang, I am afraid that he will not get an answer if he asks.

Fu Feichen came to the capital of the country of wind for the first time, the traffic on the streets was crowded, much more prosperous than Yidu, Fu Feichen used to think that under his own governance, Yidu was already very good, and even in Fu Feichen's heart, Yidu is almost the same as the capital, and the reality is cruel, Yidu is indeed prosperous, but there is still a gap with the capital.

They were received by the Ministry of Rites.

Fu Anyang politely gave a salute to the Ministry of Rites, "I've seen Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites." ”

The Ministry of Rites replied, "I have seen the second prince and the third prince." Our arrangement is like this, the two princes are tired of traveling, today and tomorrow will first rest at the post station, and the day after tomorrow will go to the imperial study to meet our majesty. I wonder if the two princes have any objections to such an arrangement? ”
