The concubines of the former emperor could move out of the palace, limited to those who had children, and those who had no children still had to live in the palace until a few years later. This is Liu Yu's proposal, and the starting point is very good, but in the hearts of those morally conservative, the concubines are not old enough to have children and no one will want them, and the plan is not to let them leave the surrounding red walls.

Qi'er has a close relationship with the new emperor because of her relationship with Liu Yu, and the Yamen of the Inner Treasury Rite Division focuses on handling it, and it is estimated that after the first emperor's funeral, the residence outside the palace will be prepared for Qi'er and Lin Meiren. Qi'er was happy, and Wu Shuo, the little stammerer on the side, looked a little lonely in her joy. It will be difficult for the two little sisters to enter and exit in pairs in the future.

When Qi'er saw Liu Yu, she was most concerned about whether she could go to his house to play after moving out of the palace, and after getting a positive answer, Qi'er pulled Liu Yu and said a lot of words. Wu Shuo felt that Liu Yu was a light bulb, so Laqier went to the inner court again.

Looking at the direction in which the two left, Liu Yu frowned and asked, "Master Wu, your great-granddaughter doesn't have any special fetishes, right?" ”

"What special fetishes?" Wu You glanced up at him, seemingly dissatisfied with Liu Yu's words.

Liu Yu felt that Wu Shuo completely regarded him as a "rival in love" this time, probably because the relationship between Qi'er and Liu Yu had been growing day by day after the poisoning case, which caused a little stammering jealousy.

Wu You said again: "Our maid has lived with me in the mountains and forests since she was a child, no one talks to her, and she is not good at talking. Don't think about it. ”

Liu Yu didn't delve into this question anymore, and chatted with Wu You for a while, and he still had to go to Zhengying Palace to have a look. After all, the ministers are all over there to keep filial piety.

I haven't arrived at Jeongei Palace yet. I saw a woman in a white dress coming in front of me. When I got closer, I found that I was still carrying a medicine box on my body, which was Qu Ning. The direction she came from was not Zhengying Palace, as if she came from the inner court.

"Doctor Qu, be polite." Liu Yu greeted with a smile, "Where is this coming from?" ”

Qu Ning saw Liu Yu also approaching, and said in an unkind tone: "The things that Commander Liu is in charge of are really lenient. Princess Yu may not be used to the water and soil of the palace, and she gets a cold as soon as she enters the palace. The little woman had just gone for treatment and was prescribed a decoction. Do I need to report to the Guards in the future? ”

Although Xiaoyu is now the imperial concubine, because she has not been recognized, her identity has not changed as the previous "Princess Yu".

"I'm just asking, Qu Yinu's job is to be in charge of the body of the royal family, and it doesn't matter if I don't want to talk about my own business. Leave. ”

"Wait." Liu Yu said goodbye and was about to leave, but Qu Ning stopped him.

"Is there anything else going on with the Qu Doctor Girl?"

Qu Ning seemed to hesitate, but he couldn't help but ask: "Before, Liu Gongzi said that you can find him through him, do you know where he lives now?" ”

It turned out that Qu Ning really missed Liu Liniang. Liu Yu thought to himself, if he guessed Liu Liniang's identity. Qu Ning will definitely avoid being ashamed of himself, he doesn't want to provoke Liu Liniang again for the sake of Qu Ning. The last time he used a fake thing to deceive Liu Liniang, the matter has not been resolved.

Liu Yu said with a narrow smile on his face: "Brother Liu...... He should have left Chang'an City. If he comes back to visit in the future, he will definitely mention Miss Qu's longing for her next. ”

Liu Yu said this is equivalent to saying that he knows Qu Ning's affection for Liu Liniang, and that Qu Ning is still very ashamed to be told by a man he hates about his daughter's family. Qu Ning glanced at Liu Yu and said, "There is something, the little woman wants to inform Commander Liu, but I don't know whether to talk about it." ”

This is not Qu Ning's style of speaking, Liu Yuxin said that she wants to use verbal ridicule to retaliate?

"Miss Qu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Qu Ning sighed, and his expression also became a little sighing: "The first emperor once summoned the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Qian back to the Yaqian Hall after the afternoon dynasty to speak, as if he also issued a will, and then the emperor's body was suddenly uneasy, before the emperor died, he took the little woman's hand and said a few words, at the time he was a little puzzled, but now I understand that the emperor asked the little woman to assist the king of Chu to take care of the affairs of the inner court." Commander Liu, what do you mean by the former emperor? ”

On the day of the old emperor Bintian, many things were unexpected for Liu Yu, and money was the most unexpected variable for him. Originally, he had instructed Qu Zhu, Yang Lie and others to truthfully report to him any disturbances in the palace, but he still didn't expect the emperor to summon Qian Hui after the noon dynasty when the ministers were out of the palace and a little chaotic.

The old emperor understood Liu Yue's thoughts about the King of Chu and Qu Ning, and specially asked Qu Ning to travel thousands of miles to treat his injuries, obviously because he wanted her to enhance emotional exchanges with the King of Chu and prepare for her to become a "queen" in the future. Liu Yu can guess that the edict that the emperor gave back money may not be the edict of succession, but it is likely to be the edict of Feng Quning as the princess of Chu, or the empress. From a side evidence, it can be proved that the first emperor wanted to pass on the throne to the king of Chu, which is very unfavorable evidence for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu smiled indifferently, did not show a change in his inner mood, and asked rhetorically: "What does Qu Yinu think the emperor means?" ”

Qu Ning glanced at Liu Yu coldly, when he saw him in the past, he either felt that he was frivolous and impetuous, or that he was careless, he had never seen him look at her with such a specious smile, and said vigilantly: "Could it be that the little woman's words made Commander Liu feel uneasy, and Commander Liu had murderous intentions towards the little woman?" ”

Liu Yu did have such a thought in an instant. Now that Qian Hui's whereabouts are unknown, if Qu Ning informs others of such words, it will inevitably make people wonder about the legitimacy of Emperor Su Yan's throne. But Liu Yue asked himself, he can't be so ruthless now, for the sake of power, he can play tricks, but he doesn't want to create injustice. Although this insistence is a bit absurd, many times if you don't kill someone, you have to kill it.

Liu Yu smiled and said: "What is Qu Yinu talking about, there is a sword below, and those who kill are those who endanger the emperor, Qu Yinu does not endanger the emperor, how can she kill in the next?" Qu Doctor Girl must understand the seriousness of the matter. ”

Liu Yuyu made a pun, and he was also warning her not to talk nonsense everywhere. Of course, Qu Ning could hear the meaning of Liu Yu's words, nodded and said, "The little woman remembers Commander Liu's warning!" ”

Qu Ning's attitude made Liu Yue feel a little uneasy, Qu Ning knew that what he said could be said to be the secret of the royal family, and saying it would cause unexpected harm. But if you think about it, since Qu Ning will tell him in public, it shows that she doesn't want to be exposed afterwards, and she has a bit of a self-confession, which is also to show him that she has no intention of concealing it.

Liu Yu walked towards Zhengying Palace while thinking, and met someone who came over, and saw Liu Yu running over in a hurry. It's Su Yan.

"Master, master......" Su Yan looked flustered.

"What happened?" Liu Yu drew his sword, thinking that someone was threatening Su Yan's safety.

"I didn't ...... It's fine. Su Yan said after calming his breath.

Liu Yu said angrily: "Why did you run out alone?" It's not for you to have a good rest, but you have to keep vigil for three nights in a row! ”

Su Yan cried and said, "Master, don't be angry. I also wanted to rest, but as soon as I lay down, before I could fall asleep, Yuan Xiang broke into the Yaqian Palace......"

Liu Yu interrupted Su Yan's words and said, "Why don't you rest in the inner court and stay in the Yaqian Palace?" ”

Su Yan said: "I ...... I'm afraid, sleep in the front hall...... I feel steady, and when I get to the inner court, I want to escape, and I can't sleep. ”

Liu Yuxin said that Su Yan still didn't have the confidence to be an emperor, and he was even afraid of entering the inner court, so he didn't have to face the courtiers with trembling when the court meeting in the future? This thing can let him get used to it slowly, and Liu Yu is not too worried.

"What is the old man looking for you?" Liu Yu asked.

Su Yan was stunned and said, "Old man? Oh, the master said Yuan Xiang, he went to talk about the canonization of the queen. ”

Liu Yuxin said that Yuan Bolang was really anxious about doing things, how could the canonized queen have to wait until the new emperor was buried on the 274th day, and the national funeral period on the 15th expired.

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "This matter shouldn't be in a hurry, right?" ”

"I'm in a hurry!" Su Yan took out a large stack of music books from his arms and said, "This is given to me by Yuan Xiang, and he said that I should choose a queen among them." ”

Liu Yue was curious to find the notebook handed over by Su Yan, and after opening it, they were all the "girlfriend files" of some women in Chang'an City, all of whom were young ladies from wealthy families, and what they said was really exquisite, boasting that there was nothing in the sky and on the earth, as if the aura between heaven and earth was collected on the bodies of these women.

"You're not going to let Xiaoyu be the queen?" Liu Yu read a few books, but he couldn't stand the rhetoric, and looked up at Su Yan.

"I think, Xiaoyu is so good to me, now that I am the emperor, of course I want her to be the queen, she was originally Princess Yu!" Su Yan said aggrievedly, "But Yuan Xiang said that Xiaoyu has a bad background and no talent, so he is not enough to be the mother of a country." also said that these are the daughters of the daughters from a family, and they are knowledgeable and have a good heart, so they have to let me choose among them. ”

"And what did you say?"

"I said I didn't want to see it, Yuan Xiangdao wanted to force me to watch it, and said that it was not in line with the rules if he didn't see it, and he also said that even if he didn't choose to be the queen, he would first be admitted to the palace to seal a concubine or something. In this way, enriching the inner court can continue the royal bloodline as soon as possible, and it will also make the family in Chang'an City feel grateful for the kindness of the new emperor and will do their best to help me. ”

Liu Yu nodded, what Yuan Bolang said was right. The dignified emperor, if there are not three thousand beauties around him, there should be three or five concubines, and the woman of the family as a concubine can indeed achieve the effect of calming people's hearts. At the beginning, the two empresses of the old emperor, as well as Concubine Li and many concubines in the harem, were also included in the palace for this purpose.

Liu Yu didn't speak, he looked through all the scripts again, just took a cursory look, and couldn't help muttering after reading them: "Strange." ”

"What's wrong with the master?"

"Oh, it's fine."

Liu Yu is actually strange why there is no Qu Ning among them, does Yuan Bolang think that Qu Ning is not enough to be a concubine? Or does he have some grudges with the Qu family?

Liu Yu was thinking about it, and saw Yuan Bolang coming over with a black old face, and saluted respectfully: "The old minister asks the emperor for peace." After speaking, he handed over a large stack of sonatas, "Your Majesty, this is the list of the new batch of family maidens." The old minister has ordered all families to bring together the maids, and gathered in the old minister's house, ask the emperor to come over, select them together, and enrich the inner palace with the concubines!
