"Niangniang, Your Majesty is staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion again today." The palace maid like Jiang Guifei reported.

"Again? What is Your Majesty doing? Why do you always go to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Jiang Guifei was very puzzled by Xia Zimo's behavior.

At first, Xia Zimo just didn't go out of the concubine's bedroom, but later he went directly out of the palace to live in the prime minister's mansion. A person who is busy dealing with government affairs and even the harem concubines all day long and has no time to see him, he tosses and turns between the prime minister's mansion and the palace every day, which is a bit unreasonable. If it is said that he has a deep relationship with Qiu Luoxue Jun, it will not be so deep. According to this trend, Jiang Guifei had to wonder if there was really any unusual relationship between Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue?

"Because His Majesty is often absent from the palace, the people have begun to talk again." The palace maid said.

"What did you say?" Jiang Guifei asked.

The palace maid looked a little speechless, but since the concubine asked her to say it, she didn't dare not say it, and said: "Everyone says that His Majesty often goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also protects and spoils Prime Minister Qiu everywhere, in fact, because he likes him."

Hearing such rumors, Concubine Jiang was a little upset, a trace of displeasure flashed on her face, and she asked again, "What else did you say?"

"It is also said that Prime Minister Qiu likes male style, and His Majesty and Prince Yan often go in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that it is ...... said that they were already the guests of Prime Minister Qiu. The palace maid mustered up the courage to say these words.

"Presumptuous." Jiang Guifei gritted her teeth after hearing these words, and she was always calm, and she threw everything on the table to the ground, making a thunderclapping sound.

"Niangniang is angry, these are all words that people chew on the root of their tongues, don't take it seriously." Seeing that she was angry, the palace maid quickly knelt down and said.

Concubine Jiang tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and it took a while to regain her composure and say, "Master Chuan Jiang has entered the palace."

"How long are you two going to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion for nothing?" Qiu Luoxue looked at the two brothers Xia Zimo and Xia Ziyan and said.

"Where is eating and drinking for nothing, didn't I bring you snacks?" Xia Ziyan argued.

"Wow, just a box of dim sum, how long have you lived in Xiangfu, do you want to use a box of dim sum to live in Xiangfu for the rest of your life?" Qiu Luoxue felt speechless.

Xia Ziyan said with a smile: "Then how can you be embarrassed? However, if you want me to live for the rest of my life, I have no problem. ”

"It's easy for you to live here, but the gossip outside has risen again, and you can go back to your palace within today."

Qiu Luoxue didn't say anything yet, Xia Zimo said first, his words were much more effective than Qiu Luoxue's.

"What about the royal brother? If you don't live in the palace, you come to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there are a lot of rumors related to the outside. Xia Ziyan retorted.

"I will go back to the palace today, and you should also go back to the palace." Xia Zimo said.

He still remembered the last time Qiu Luoxue was angry because of the rumors that came from everywhere and implicated him, and he didn't talk to him for a long time. If it weren't for Xu Zhonghang and Concubine Duan's affairs, it is estimated that Qiu Luoxue would have ignored him all along. So this time he didn't plan to wait until Qiu Luoxue got angry, but reacted as soon as possible to stop the rumors.

Suddenly hearing that the two of them were leaving, Qiu Luoxue was still a little uncomfortable, after all, after living for so long, after the two of them left, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was even more empty.

"What the hell, did I really drive you away?" Qiu Luoxue said with some loss.

"Father, you said that Your Majesty did not return to the palace all day in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is it really as rumored by the outside world that he likes Prime Minister Shangqiu?" Concubine Jiang asked Jiang Dadao.

"Those people are just speculating, they haven't even seen His Majesty and Prime Minister Qiu in person, how can they know about such a thing? It's just a fun after-dinner session, how can you be fooled by those rumors? Your Majesty's intentions, you should know better. Jiang Shilian said.

"It was probably clear before, but since Qiu Luoxue became prime minister, I don't understand what Your Majesty is thinking anymore." Jiang Guifei said, her tone revealing helplessness.

"Your Majesty has not been in the harem for several months, so I think the rumors from the outside world may be true. If His Majesty really likes Qiu Luoxue, then it is really ......," Jiang Guifei added.

Jiang Shilian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty's mind is difficult to guess, but Prime Minister Qiu's mind is not difficult to guess. He has not been in the office for a long time, and his ability to deal with officialdom is also insufficient, and he is always easy to bluff. ”

"It is said that Prime Minister Qiu likes male style, but I don't know if it's true or not." Jiang Guifei said.

"If it's true or not, just find out." Jiang Shilian's eyes showed a hint of calculation.

After Jiang Shilian left the palace, he immediately found a few ministers with good relationships and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Qiu Luoxue.

"A few adults are here today, what are you talking about?"

Qiu Luoxue met with several adults in the main hall, they usually did not have a close relationship except for official business, and Qiu Luoxue was very curious about why they suddenly visited.

"The lower officials are quick to talk, so they won't spare the bends. What is the relationship between Lord Qiu and His Majesty? A minister asked.

"What's the relationship?" Qiu Luoxue was surprised by this question and replied, "Isn't it the relationship between monarchs and ministers?"

"Xia Guan didn't mean that, it was ......" The minister also seemed to find the latter words a little difficult to say, but he still said it and asked: "It is rumored that Lord Qiu is a good man, but is this true?" If you are a good man, you have such a close relationship with Your Majesty, is Your Majesty also ......?"

"Poof......" Hearing the minister's words, Qiu Luoxue, who was drinking tea, couldn't hold back and squirted out. I thought that these ministers were really idle, and they were still in charge of this matter.

"Several adults are important ministers of the court and pillars of the country, how can they be confused by these gossip in the market and say such disrespectful words."

Jiang Shilian listened for a while, and then Qiu Luoxue's words: "It's not that we are willing to listen to gossip, it's just that Your Majesty has been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently, and he can't even know the palace, which will inevitably make people guess."

"Don't worry about this Lord Jiang, Your Majesty will return to the palace from today." Qiu Luoxue said, blocking what they wanted to say later.

"Then I'll be relieved." Jiang Shilian said.

He paused and said, "Although Your Majesty has returned to the palace, the rumors in the market cannot be eliminated, which is not good for Lord Qiu and His Majesty's face."

After listening to his words, Qiu Luoxue sneered in her heart: Hmph, old fox, you must be trying to play tricks again.

So, Qiu Luoxue didn't say anything, but followed Jiang Shilian's words and asked, "What should happen between Lord Yijiang?"

"Actually, it's simple. The reason why there are rumors of His Majesty's good male style is simply because His Majesty has not been in the harem for a long time, as long as he ......"

Qiu Luoxue interrupted him and asked, "Your Majesty has not been in the harem for a long time, how does Lord Jiang know?"

Qiu Luoxue was really curious to ask, this kind of thing is also a private matter of the emperor, how can these ministers know, and say it as if nothing happened? That's weird, isn't it?

Qiu Luoxue's question made Jiang Shilian's face blush, and he was a little embarrassed, but he still replied: "It's a shame to say that the little girl is a concubine in the palace, and she is very worried about His Majesty's absence from the harem for a long time, and today she also let the lower officials enter the palace to discuss this matter."

"Ah...... It's Jiang Guifei. Qiu Luoxue said that her impression of Jiang Guifei was calm, dignified, and scheming.

"Then what is the result of the discussion between Lord Jiang and Concubine Jiang?" Qiu Luoxue asked again.

"Originally, Xia Guan thought that Lord Qiu and His Majesty were the kind of relationship that was circulated in the community, but today I was relieved to hear Lord Qiu deny it in person. If Lord Qiu is willing, it is better for Prime Minister Qiu to persuade His Majesty. His Majesty has no heirs so far, which is also a worrying thing. ”

"Your Majesty is still young, and there is no urgency in the matter of the heir." Qiu Luoxue said.

"When the first emperor was as old as His Majesty, there were already three princes and two princesses. It is a big deal to spread branches and spread the branches for the royal family and continue the incense, and we, as courtiers, should also think about His Majesty and the royal family. "What Jiang Shilian said is reasonable and well-founded.

Although what Jiang Shilian said made sense, Qiu Luoxue felt that it would be ...... for her to persuade the emperor to favor the palace concubine It's a little too embarrassing. But she couldn't stand the persuasion of Jiang Shilian and others, so in the end she could only drive the ducks to the shelves and go to Xia Zimo.

"I heard that Lord Jiang led a few ministers to find you today, what is the matter?" After seeing Xia Zimo, Qiu Luoxue first heard this sentence.

"It's because of Your Majesty." Qiu Luoxue replied.

"Oh? What is the matter with me? Xia Zimo asked with interest.

"First of all, I asked what my relationship with Your Majesty is, whether I really like male style. Then I told them no, and they were relieved. Speaking of His Majesty's absence from the harem for a long time, the ministers are very worried, so let me persuade Your Majesty to pamper the palace concubines more and have more children. So I said, Your Majesty, for the sake of me not being embarrassed by this matter every day in the future, do you want to go to the girls' dormitory tonight to rest? ”

Qiu Luoxue said a lot of things in one breath, because she was afraid that what she said slowly would be discouraged, and finally she was embarrassed to say it. Say it all at once, and as for the result, she doesn't care. Anyway, she persuaded and persuaded her, if the emperor doesn't go, she can't tie the emperor to the harem.

Xia Zimo was stunned in an instant after listening to a lot of what she said, especially the words that made him pamper the palace concubine later, some couldn't react, and more were embarrassed.

Qiu Luoxue was stunned when she saw Xia Zimo, shook her hand in front of her, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Zimo, who was stunned, suddenly grabbed Qiu Luoxue's hand in front of him, and said, "Don't say these words in the future."

"Why?" Qiu Luoxue asked puzzled.

"Because of embarrassment." Xia Zimo said.

Qiu Luoxue smiled bitterly and said, "I also feel embarrassed, but if Your Majesty doesn't go to the harem, it is estimated that those ministers will still come to me." I am the prime minister, and I only care about the affairs of the foreign court, shouldn't this kind of harem matter be to Gonggong Jin? ”

When Jin Fu heard this, he immediately said: "Don't come to find a minion, the minion can't resist it."

"I can't resist it." Qiu Luoxue muttered, and said to Xia Zimo: "So the emperor, you should go to the harem, so that we can save trouble."

"No, no." Xia Zimo refused, it was not negotiable at all.

"Why?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"There's no why." Xia Zimo said.

"How is it possible, there must be a reason for what a person does." Qiu Luoxue said.

"There's no reason, don't ask." Xia Zimo concealed her true intentions, and in order to block Qiu Luoxue's mouth, she simply stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth, so that she had no time to speak.
