After the construction of the city was completed, the immigrants came from the refugees who built the official road in the Chu State a few years ago, and now, these 200,000 refugees are building the official road from Jinling to Su and Xu Erzhou.

The occupation of such a piece of land and a piece of land, entering in batches of immigrants, with the Ming State as the backing, it will not be long before Liuqiu will be officially incorporated into the territory of the Ming Kingdom.

Baili Wuji ordered Peng Xiao to lead the fleet to provide artillery support for the occupation of Chichi by Wu Xingde's subordinates.

Today's Liuqiu is just an island where the natives stay, and the most difficult thing is not military confrontation, but the construction of infrastructure, so Baili Wuji is ready to spend a year in Liuqiu with Chiji as the center, establish a place of governance, and then gradually radiate to the surrounding areas until the whole island is occupied.

On September 20 of the first year of Guangfu, the army boarded the ship and set off, and Baili Wuji led hundreds of officials to see off Wu Xingde at the wharf in person.

Jinling Imperial Palace.

The Eastern Empress Gao Rongrong is sad, she has been married to the Baili family for ten years, and nothing has come out, which makes Gao Rongrong's heart very stressful, and now the officials of the Ming Kingdom are showing twists and turns every day, which makes her even more confused.

Meng Yanyi, who was sitting opposite her, didn't care, because with Gao Rongrong at the bottom, she naturally didn't feel the pressure.

Gao Rongrong said: "Sister, now that the court is paying attention to His Majesty's heirs, how should we deal with it?" ”

Meng Yanyi said: "Does my sister also want His Majesty to choose a concubine?" ”

Strange to say, since the two founded the women's college together, their relationship has grown day by day, and they no longer have the scheming of the time at that time. A mouthful of a sister, a mouthful of a sister, screaming happily.

Gao Rongrong said: "What other way is there besides choosing a concubine? Your Majesty has passed the age of his establishment. If there are no heirs, how can they explain to the subjects of the Ming Kingdom? ”

Meng Yanyi naturally knows the severity, but she really wants to give birth to a prince in her heart, and the meaning of this is very important to Meng Yanyi, who was born in the royal family.

Meng Yanyi said: "My sister no longer has the idea of having children in her heart? ”

Gao Rongrong naturally wanted to live, but ten years have passed, and there has been no movement. There is still a glimmer of hope, for Gao Rongrong, she just wants to let Baili Wuji have a future. As for who and Baili Wuji were born, she didn't care anymore.

Gao Rongrong said: "Sister, Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and you and I are now mothers in the world." You can't just take care of yourself. And there is no queen for His Majesty. ”

Meng Yanyi suddenly grinned, leaned into Gao Rongrong's ear and whispered, "Sister, why don't you try it again with Your Majesty?" ”

Gao Rongrong glanced at Meng Yanyi and reprimanded, "How are you like a queen?" ”

Meng Yanyi said solemnly: "Sister, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will snub you and me after choosing a concubine?" ”

Gao Rongrong sighed lightly: "Rong'er is naturally afraid, but the lesser of two evils can be passed." Sister, let's think more about Your Majesty. ”

Meng Yanyi also sighed: "I will naturally think about Your Majesty, just for the sake of Your Majesty being able to rescue my brother from the Zhou Kingdom." I should also imagine it to His Majesty, but you and I are used to getting along in the palace, and some strange women compete with you and me for favor, which makes me uncomfortable when I think about it. ”

Meng Yanyi doesn't remember her state of mind at all when she got married at the beginning of the year, at that time she was just marrying for the sake of marrying, as for how many women Baili Wuji has, she doesn't care at all, and now, since giving birth to Baili Yiyun, she has gradually tied her heart to Baili Wuji, so that now she doesn't want Baili Wuji to choose a concubine.

In fact, women are like this, she will never understand what she really wants? By the time she knew what she wanted, she didn't want it anymore.

Gao Rongrong said: "My sister is too sentimental, how can a man like Your Majesty let you and me monopolize it?" Rong'er has understood this principle since she was engaged to His Majesty. ”

Meng Yanyi was born in the royal family, so she had naturally seen the number of imperial concubines of her brother, but now that it was her turn, she still felt sad after all.

Meng Yanyi lowered his head and thought for a while: "Sister, I just agree, but only one person can be chosen, so that even if she is favored, you and I can still join forces to restrain her." ”

Gao Rongrong couldn't help laughing, sneered, and said: "Your Majesty's selection of concubines is imminent, instead of letting the officials be auditioned all over the world, it is better for you and me to look for the academy, at least we know the roots, what does my sister think?" ”

Meng Yanyi sighed and said, "It's all up to my sister to decide." ”

……。

Just when the two queens were struggling with the heirs of Baili Wuji, a woman also found Baili Wuji for the heirs.

Accompanied by Xu Shiming, Lu Xiaocui mustered up the courage to stand in front of Baili Wuji.

"Your Majesty...... Xiao Cui just wanted to ask...... That one...... Well, when will Xu Shouren come back? ”

Baili Wuji heard this, and glanced at Xu Shiming, this old man must have leaked something to Lu Xiaocui. Otherwise, Sun Shixu and Xu Shouren defected from the Chu State by running away, no, now it is the Ming State, and Lu Xiaocui will definitely not dare to appear in front of him now.

Xu Shiming obviously knew that Baili Wuji could guess that it was him who leaked the secret, so he lowered his head as soon as he came in, not daring to look at Baili Wuji, and pretended not to see Baili Wuji looking at him at all.

Baili Wuji cursed Xu Shiming in his heart, but said to Lu Xiaocui with a smile: "Xiaocui, don't worry, Ah Ren will be back soon." ”

Lu Xiaocui stammered: "Please forgive your majesty, Xiaocui is just worried, this age is old, this child ......." ”

After all, her face was red, and Lu Xiaocui couldn't go on.

Baili Wuji coughed dryly, coughing hard, so that Xu Shiming had to raise his head.

Xu Shiming said in a round game: "Xiaocui, you kid, tell you not to come, you insist on coming, now Your Majesty has already said it, and you will be back soon, okay, okay, hurry up." ”

Lu Xiaocui hurriedly saluted and prepared to retire with Xu Shiming.

Baili Wuji stopped and said: "Xiaocui is slow, I have something to ask you." ”

Lu Xiaocui stopped as she said, Xu Shiming was shocked, don't you want to investigate me for leaking the news, no, according to His Majesty's temperament, I won't make such a fuss.

Without waiting for Xu Shiming to figure it out, Baili Wuji waved his hand and said, "Xu Xiang go out first, wait outside, I have some personal matters to ask Lu Xiaocui." ”

Xu Shiming understood now, so he quickly withdrew from the door according to his words.

After Xu Shiming left, Baili Wuji asked, "Xiaocui, in the past few years, has Yun'er contacted you?" ”

Lu Xiaocui was taken aback, bowed her head and replied, "Your Majesty, the little lady has never had contact with Xiaocui. ”

Baili Wuji circled around Lu Xiaocui.

Said leisurely: "Xiao Cui, if you lied before, then I was only a king, and now if you lie to me, it will be a deception to the emperor, and I will not exempt you from the crime of deceiving the king." (To be continued......)
