Emperor Xuanping frowned when he saw the folds. Turning his head to He Qi beside him, he said, "This Liu Yushi is really mouthy and annoying. ”

"The queen is pregnant, and I am going to be a father. But he is here to persuade me to take concubines and have concubines, which is really hateful and disgusting. ”

Because of the eldest prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, Emperor Xuanping hated the three words of the prince. Seeing such a twist and turn, Emperor Xuanping was angry in his heart.

He Qi smiled casually: "The emperor doesn't like it, just reprimand him." Naturally, the ministers of the court and the central government were silent. ”

Emperor Xuanping snorted: "Whoever dares to talk too much, I can't spare him." ”

He Qi smiled knowingly.

Emperor Xuanping has been on the throne for five years.

In the past few years, Emperor Xuanping has subdued his ministers little by little by gentle means. There were several elderly ministers in the court, and they were also replaced by young officials trusted by Emperor Xuanping.

The Great Chu Dynasty has been fighting a war in the past few years, the fertile land is uncultivated, and the people who have been forced to live by heavy taxes gather into bandits to make civil unrest, and there are always them.

Emperor Xuanping reduced taxes and taxes, canceled the enlistment of Ding Ding, and gave the people recuperation. In the past few years, it has also seen results. Especially last year, the wind and rain were smooth in all parts of Dachu, and many places had bumper harvests.

The people's lives are better, the people in the court are stable, and the prestige of Emperor Xuanping, the son of heaven, is getting stronger and stronger.

Emperor Xuanping did not make an order, and directly summoned Liu Yushi to enter the Baohe Palace, and reprimanded angrily with a calm face: "...... The queen is pregnant, and at this time she needs to quietly raise the fetus, and she must not use the fetal gas. Liu Yushi's age, it's not that he doesn't even understand this truth. At this time, what is the intention of this twist and turn? ”

"Do you want to make the queen feel uneasy, or do you want to influence my mind?"

The old Liu Yushi was frightened into a cold sweat, and knelt down again and again to plead guilty: "The emperor is angry." The old minister has no other intentions, just hopes that the emperor's heirs will prosper......"

"Whether the offspring prosper or not is my business. My queen will give birth to my heirs. Emperor Xuanping said coldly: "As a royal historian, you can do your own thing." The affairs in the palace will not bother Liu Yushi to worry about. ”

Liu Yushi: "......"

Liu Yushi was sprayed with a disgraced face by Emperor Xuanping, and he retreated in a gloomy manner. The next day, he was sick, and he didn't have the face to go to the court to see people again.

The matter spread quickly, and the courtiers who were originally about to make a move suddenly stopped.

Liu Yushi's twists and turns were indeed secretly instructed by others, and he had the meaning of throwing stones to ask for directions.

In the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, the queen has been in the palace for four years, and she has been in the circle house with the emperor for two years. It's time for the freshness to pass. It just so happens that the queen is pregnant, can't serve the pillow, and wants to send her daughter or niece or granddaughter into the palace, won't the opportunity come?

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanping, who had always been mild-mannered, would be so tough on this matter.

……

Emperor Xuanping didn't want Empress Liang to think too much, so he hid the twists and turns in the history of Liu Yu.

Empress Liang knew about this, and it was already half a month later. Moreover, I knew it from the small palace maid's chatter.

Empress Liang was both moved and uneasy, and said with slightly red eyes: "Why does the emperor hide such a big thing from his concubines?" ”

Emperor Xuanping carefully removed the fish bones, put the fish meat into Empress Liang's bowl, and said with a smile: "What a big deal. Liu Yushi is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he was pushed in front of him to interview to explore my mind. ”

"If I tolerate him, I'm afraid that tomorrow there will be a bunch of twists and turns to persuade me to choose a concubine."

The fish is tender and fragrant.

Empress Liang took a bite slowly and said softly: "The emperor has only one concubine in the harem, which is indeed inappropriate. Now that the concubine is pregnant, she can't serve the emperor. It's really time to choose a concubine for the emperor. ”

When a woman is pregnant and gives birth, she has to do confinement, which adds up to a year. Is it impossible to let the emperor keep the empty house for a year?

She, the queen, should take the initiative to choose a concubine.

Emperor Xuanping glanced at Empress Liang with a smile: "Do you want to choose a concubine for me?" ”

Empress Liang wanted to nod against her conscience, but a sentence suddenly flashed in her mind.

You and I are husband and wife, and we should be honest with each other. No matter what happens, don't hide it from me.

Empress Liang's heart trembled slightly, she raised her eyes for a long time, looked at Emperor Xuanping with deep eyes, and plucked up the courage to say, "No, the concubine is unwilling." ”

"The concubine doesn't want to be a virtuous queen. The concubines love the emperor with all their hearts, and they only want the emperor to have only one concubine in his heart. The concubines don't want the emperor to choose a concubine, they don't want the emperor to have another woman, and they don't want other women to give birth to children for the emperor......"

As she spoke, Queen Liang's eyes turned red, and her voice choked: "The concubine is not virtuous and generous at all, and the concubine only wants to monopolize her husband." ”

When Emperor Xuanping heard this, not only did he not get angry, but raised the corners of his mouth and laughed: "I think so too. ”

Empress Liang choked up and paused and looked at him with red eyes.

Emperor Xuanping smiled at her: "Ruyue, I will tell you today." I never intended to marry another woman, and with you, it was enough. ”

Empress Liang was so overwhelmed by the huge surprise that she couldn't come back to her senses, and she was stunned for a long time before she said: "What the emperor said is true?" ”

"I don't like to swear," Emperor Xuanping said lightly: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people for a long time." You will always understand my intentions. ”

Can she believe what he says?

An emperor, will there be only one queen?

Queen Liang's heart was both sweet and a little sour, and she ate all the fish in the bowl. He carefully wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said solemnly: "The emperor's intentions for his concubines are known to the concubines." The concubines will live up to the emperor's affection. ”

……

"Will the emperor choose a concubine?"

"No, it won't."

In the Pingguo Mansion, He Qicheng Jinrong and his wife, who returned to the mansion together, whispered: "The Queen Mother was trapped in the Jiaofang Palace back then, and she was pressed by Emperor Zheng's concubine. There were many princes born by the first emperor, and they fought against each other for the sake of the throne brothers. ”

"These are the knots in the emperor's heart that cannot be untied."

"He told me that he didn't want to be like the first emperor. He wants to be a benevolent son of heaven and open the prosperous era of Great Chu. He also wants to be a good husband and father. ”

"I believe in him, and I can do it."

He Qi stared at Cheng Jinrong, who was categorical: "You have great confidence in the emperor." ”

Cheng Jinrong raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Yes." I believe in him and can do whatever he wants. ”

He Qi stretched out his hand to caress Cheng Jinrong's face, and laughed in a low voice: "Ah Rong, I love your confident appearance the most. ”

Cheng Jinrong glanced at him with a smile: "You mean, I'm blindly confident in empty words?" ”

He Qi immediately raised his hand in surrender: "How dare the lower officials offend Lord Tidian!" ”

Cheng Jinrong took a bite of him with a smile, and suddenly his stomach was churning with discomfort, and he couldn't help frowning.

He Qi was surprised: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"There's always been a little churning in my stomach these days." Cheng Jinrong frowned and said to himself: "The monthly letter seems to be a few days late." ”
