The emperor knew that Concubine Liu was concerned about herself, so she didn't get angry: "You didn't delay anything, but which of those things written on the fold was not about the local people?" It takes a lot of time to get from the place to Kyoto, and it takes a lot of time to send it to me, and it takes a lot of time to send it to the place after I have read it, and it can even take a month or two to go back and forth. If I finish the review and processing a day earlier, the people will have to suffer less than one day. ”

Liu Guifei said in a disgusted voice: "The concubine can't think so much about a woman's family, the concubine only knows that her husband works hard day and night, and he is tired and sick, and the concubine is distressed. ”

The emperor listened to this very useful, and dragged her up and let her lie beside him: "Yuewei is still so gentle and considerate. ”

Yuewei is Liu Guifei's maiden name.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood at this time, Liu Guifei said as if unintentionally: "The bird's nest sent by Hongling is available during the day?" Hongling said that she waited outside the palace for a long time, and the concubine was worried that the bird's nest was cold and uncomfortable to eat. ”

The emperor smiled: "It's a little cold, but I made Li Quanfu hot, and I can't spoil the bird's nest stewed by Concubine Ai's own hands." ”

Liu Guifei smiled deliciously: "No matter how busy you are next time, don't let people stop the people who deliver food outside." Besides, Jing Chen is not an outsider. By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that the county lord of Fuyou is also in the imperial study today? ”

Speaking of Lin Ruan, the emperor was in a better mood: "Well, I specially summoned her today. That girl, yes, is a good boy. ”

With just that, the emperor didn't mention anything else, took Concubine Liu Guifei's hand and said, "It's not too early, let's settle it." ”

Liu Guifei naturally didn't ask any more questions, and immediately helped the emperor to the bedroom.

Early the next morning, after Liu Guifei got up, she instructed Hongling: "Send someone to wait in front of the court in a while, and when the third prince goes down to the court, let him come over." ”

After the third prince got out of the morning court, he was called over.

As soon as he entered the hall, he smiled and asked Liu Guifei to say goodbye: "Erchen has seen his mother, but he hasn't seen her for a few days, and her mother seems to be a lot younger and more beautiful." ”

Liu Guifei glared at him with a smile: "Flamboyant, this palace won't scold you, you will sell it first." Don't make any mistakes outside again, and feel empty, right? ”

The third prince cried out for himself: "The mother concubine is really wronging the son, the son is just telling the truth, but the mother concubine thinks so much." ”

Liu Guifei smiled and waved her hand: "It's done, don't talk about these things that you don't have." I called you here because I had something to do with you. ”

The third prince also immediately put away his joking appearance, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Guifei shook the handkerchief in her hand: "The emperor is almost twenty this year, it's time to marry a concubine." ”

The third prince smiled: "Mother concubine, is there a candidate?" Which adult's lady is beautiful? ”

Concubine Liu glanced at him: "Bless the county lord." ”

"What?" The third prince exclaimed, "Mother, are you joking with me?" Fuyou County Lord, Lin Ruan? ”

Liu Guifei nodded: "It's her, what?" Look at the way you look very dissatisfied with her? I heard that the county lord of Fuyou looks like a beauty, doesn't it just suit your wishes? ”

The third prince snorted from his nose: "There are so many beauties, but a capable minister like Lin Ruan is not worthy of lifting shoes!" is just a country girl, and the mother concubine really promoted her, and even wanted her to be the concubine of her son. Just like her, she is a concubine for her son, and I don't think she understands the amorous feelings. ”

Concubine Liu glared at him: "As the saying goes, marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, and take a concubine." Although Lin Ruan is a rural village girl who doesn't understand customs, her ability is obvious to all, if she enters your mansion, she will definitely be able to take care of the mansion properly. ”

The third prince was very resistant: "Mother, has the son made you unhappy recently?" You're going to punish your sons in this way? Is it okay for Lin Ruan to be a doorman, a woman? I'm scared to death in the middle of the night. ”

He did admire Lin Ruan's ability to make money, but he never thought of letting Lin Ruan into his backyard.

Although he couldn't get in touch with Lin Ruan, he knew Lin Ruan's deeds very clearly. is like a mother and a big worm, and now he has the title of a county lord, and he has really entered his backyard, and he is afraid that he will not have a stable life in the future.

The third prince hurriedly said: "Mother, I have found a candidate for your daughter-in-law, the granddaughter of Wu Ge's hometown, Wu Yuyan, is gentle, beautiful and virtuous, and has a prominent family background, so she is the best candidate for the princess." Lin Ruan's kind of rough wild girl has no background at all, and it is really no good to marry her into the door. ”

"You know what!" Seeing him resist like this, Concubine Liu was a little unhappy, "Your father has always hated courtiers forming parties for personal gain, and an old fox like Wu Ge Lao is the most guarded against by your father." What is the difference between you marrying his granddaughter and saying that you are interested in the throne? ”

The third prince rolled his eyes: "Okay, even if you don't marry that Wu Yuyan, there are other candidates." It's better to choose anyone than Lin Ruan. ”

Seeing that he didn't have any intention of marrying a girl from Wu Ge's hometown, Concubine Liu Guifei was not so angry, and said with a sigh of relief: "Lin Ruan does not have the slightest advantage on the surface, but the palace is very optimistic about her. She can be promoted by your father twice in a row in half a year, which shows that her ability is valued by your father. If you marry her, you will definitely be your right-hand man in the future. If she makes one or two more contributions, your status with your father will naturally be even more extraordinary. ”

The three princes listened to these words, but they were somewhat resistant, but Lin Ruan was never in his plan.

Zhizi Mo Ruomu, as soon as she saw the third prince like that, she knew what he was thinking, so she persuaded politely: "This palace knows that Lin Ruan's background is low, and she is indeed not worthy of my son, but her identity is special, and she must occupy the position of a wife." After you get married, you can bring a few more girls into the house. But you have to give the decency. As long as Lin Ruan marries into your house, he will definitely help you a lot in the future. ”

An existence like Lin Ruan is really unique in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And listening to the emperor's concise but very positive praise last night, she knew that this Lin Ruan really won the emperor's blue eyes, not only because of Lin Ruan's achievements, but also for other reasons. But it can definitely be ruled out that the emperor has any other thoughts about Lin Ruan, such as being included in the harem. It's the kind of affirmation and love that the elders have for their juniors.

With this in mind, she knew that if her son married Lin Ruan, the emperor would naturally pay more attention to her son.

The position of the East Palace has always been very stable, and it is not easy for her emperor to sit in that position. So she had to help him seize every opportunity.
