Looking at the queen's serious face, Jiang Chuan was slightly surprised, but he still nodded and said, "You say." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine mentioned this matter to you before, and you also promised me at that time. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the New Year. The concubine felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer. ”

As soon as Jiang Chuan heard it, he understood that what his wife was talking about the concubine, and he was a little embarrassed all of a sudden.

"This, it's the New Year, let's discuss it after the New Year."

"Your Majesty, this is a happy event and a great event. The concubine said that it is the responsibility of the concubine to be the queen for the extension of my Great Qin Country, to spread the branches and leaves for His Majesty, and to make the royal family of my Jiang family prosperous. His Majesty himself is not easy to mention, but the concubines have to worry about this. Besides, even if the concubines don't mention it, the courtiers will persuade His Majesty to take a concubine after the New Year. Since this is the case, it is better to settle down as soon as possible, so that our harem will be more lively, the people will be more prosperous, and the hearts of the ministers can be settled early. ”

The empress looked at the emperor with a solemn tone and a serious face.

Although Jiang Chuan understands the truth very well, he still can't get used to it in his heart. I now have two wives, and my wife is still persuading me to marry a few more, and she still looks so serious, how strange it is to look at this matter.

However, in Bai Jinxiu's heart, he really thinks that this is a normal thing.

Not to mention that this is the mainstream view of this era, even after taking over the Baiyun Sect, before leaving, Shizun Bai Yunzi also solemnly mentioned this matter to him, so that as the queen, she must maintain the dignity of the emperor's monarchy, in order to make the six palaces harmonious, to make the royal family prosperous, not to become a jealous and favored person.

Although at first she thought that the man she loved would marry many women to share his love with her, she felt a little sad in her heart.

But after all, she is open-minded and open-minded, and she knows that since she has chosen this man, she has to bear some grievances. Instead of resisting, it is better to take the initiative to think about him and arrange for him, so that you can win his love more.

Now the emperor only has one queen and one concubine, which is too far behind the emperors of previous dynasties. And the emperor himself has never mentioned this matter, she, as a queen, and as a wife, will mention this matter again and again.

Looking at the queen's appearance, Jiang Chuan nodded after pondering for a long time and said, "I understand your intentions." In that case, you can arrange this matter. But I said okay, and women I didn't know wouldn't accept it. ”

This sentence is equivalent to picking out the scope of the concubine.

The queen laughed: "Your Majesty, there are two candidates for the concubines here, and they all happen to be known to Your Majesty." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaowen, who had been quiet on the side, and Xiaowen suddenly blushed and hung her head silently.

Jiang Chuan also knew that there was another natural thing that Liu Ru was.

Speaking of which, Liu Ru is now also from an official eunuch family, which is also suitable in terms of identity.

After thinking about it, Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. Miss Liu's side, after the New Year, she will make a will, even if she proposes marriage, she is a person with a brother. Xiaowen's side, after the beginning of the year, I named her a noble Wen, and the former female official errand can also be at the same time. ”

The queen and the noble lady glanced at each other, laughed, got up and bowed and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, concubine." ”

Xiaowen also came back to her senses at this time, her face was flushed, and she hurriedly knelt down and said, "Xiaowen, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" ”

Looking at the three daughters in front of him who were smiling like flowers and their faces were like colorful clouds, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: The evil feudal society, the power of all evil.

That's great!

Queen Bai Jinxiu and Qi Xuan were also happy in their hearts, after all, Xiaowen and Liu Ru are familiar people, and everyone's temperament is familiar with each other, so it will be easy to get along.

On the contrary, if His Majesty's concubines are all selected from the folk draft girls, with different temperaments and personalities, and some people may have strong family backgrounds, then entering the palace is definitely a thorn, and it is easy to make waves in this palace.

Speaking of which, the queen actively advised the emperor to take concubines, also in order to put an end to this phenomenon, to block the mouths of those ministers, and also to block the way of some people who want to cling to the royal family by marrying their daughters.

Even if the emperor really accepts concubines in the future, Qi Xuan, who is in the palace, will be the queen's powerful help, and no matter how capable the others are, they won't be able to make much waves.

The joy of Chinese New Year's Eve was even more joyful, and everyone's mood was even higher, talking and laughing, pushing cups and changing lamps until late at night.

Although the emperor drank the most, after all, everyone came to toast. But he was a little drunk at best, and he couldn't get drunk at all.

It's Xiaowen, the surprise came too quickly tonight, everyone was drunk if she wasn't drunk, and she got drunk before she could finish.

After letting the palace maid send her back, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was dispersed.

Originally, according to the process, there was a song and dance performance after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala in the palace.

However, now there are more than 1,000 female eunuchs in the palace, and the emperor advocates frugality, so there is no dancing girl troupe or the like, so this procedure has been cut.

After everyone dispersed, Qi Xuan returned to his Yuxiu Courtyard, and the emperor rested in the queen's Kunning Palace.

After teasing a pair of children for a while, the eunuchs and palace maids brought hot water, and the emperor and his wife hugged and went to bed after bathing and washing.

Twelve thousand words are omitted here......

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, the emperor and queen are dressed up, because today all the important ministers have to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and queen.

When these ministers entered the palace, they all brought their wives with them, of course, in the main house.

The ministers paid New Year's greetings to the emperor in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and their families gathered to pay New Year's greetings to the empress.

At noon, two tables of banquets were held, one table was opened in the Qianqing Palace, which was held by the emperor and his ministers; The other table was opened in Kunning Palace, and it was for the queen and the minister's family.

The queen gets along with the families of these ministers very harmoniously, which not only makes people feel like a spring breeze, but also does not lose the majesty of the queen.

Although the emperor asked for frugality and forbade the courtiers to give gifts, the ministers still prepared gifts for the little princess and the little prince when they came.

There are those who prepare longevity locks, and there are those who prepare jade ruyi. There are also inkstone paper and pencil preparations.

Even Di Qing sent someone to send back a captured toast scimitar from the southwest, the scabbard was inlaid with various colored gems, which looked very precious, and the name was to give it to the little prince.

Naturally, I also prepared a gift for the little princess.

After the ministers left, Jiang Chuan sent someone to send a generous gift to the White Cloud Sect. Bai Yunzi is to some extent his father-in-law, and he also has the grace of passing on his merits, and he even handed over Baiyunzong to himself, no matter what, this kindness cannot be forgotten.
