Jin Lan stood up abruptly, brushed his sleeves and left.

Red Bean sneered, picked up the needle and thread, and continued to work. The quarrel just now had no effect on her.

In the end, he still went back to his yard, read half a night's book, and fell asleep.

The next day, he neither went to the East Garden nor the West Garden, but got up early and sat in a sedan chair to enter the palace.

After the end of the early dynasty, the emperor left him to speak in the imperial study.

"Jinzhi, congratulations on getting another daughter." Zhao Yuanjing smiled and called his cousin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jin Lan said.

He didn't look very happy.

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "I am happy to have a daughter, why are I still depressed?" ”

"Your Majesty, now I understand how important it is for a man to have a stable back house." Jin Lan sighed.

Zhao Yuanjing smiled: "You are only a wife and a concubine now, so you are worried about this?" ”

Jin Lan said: "The minister really envies the emperor, there is a virtuous woman like the queen mother in charge of the harem, and now the harem is stable, and the emperor does not need to worry about it." ”

"Jinzhi, I can only tell you one thing, if you really like a woman, you have to be good to her."

"The minister asked himself, he was already very good for red beans. Whatever is good wants to be held in front of her. ”

"It's not enough." Zhao Yuanjing said, "It's extremely good, so good that you are willing to give up all other women for her." ”

Jin Lan was stunned and hesitated: "But the Fang clan has already given birth to a child for the minister. How could the minister ignore her? ”

"If you can't be single-minded about red beans, then don't blame them for making trouble."

Zhao Yuanjing waved his hand, "That's all I say, think for yourself." ”

Jin Lan was silent for a while, and said, "The minister also wants to thank the queen mother for the Fang family, thank you for the reward." ”

"The queen said, after all, the Fang clan has served her, and this little thing can be regarded as the whole of the master-servant relationship in the past. If you want to thank you in person, you don't have to. ”

"Yes, I understand."

Jin Lan paused and said, "There is one more thing, I have to confess." The Fang clan was not very sensible, and after receiving the reward from Niangniang, he kept trying to ask Niangniang for a name. If it reaches the ears of the mother, please don't blame the mother. ”

Zhao Yuanjing said with a smile: "It seems that your concubine is bent on competing with Hongdou." Hongdou's daughter was named the county lord, and she wanted the queen to give the child a name. ”

Jin Lan was a little ashamed and said, "It's all because the ministers are not strict in discipline." ”

"It's not a big deal. The queen should not refuse to choose a name. ”

"No, the mother is generous to the courtiers, and the ministers can't be ignorant of what is good or bad." Jin Lan hurriedly said, "Actually, the minister has already chosen the name for the child. The county lord of Canglan is nicknamed Caicai, and her sister is called Lianlian. ”

"That's fine."

Zhao Yuanjing didn't pay much attention to this kind of trivial matter.

Xu Hu came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, saying that the largest horse gang in the people has entered Beijing. If you want to enlighten Your Majesty, how to deal with it. ”

"Oh, how many people are here?"

"Two or three hundred."

"It's a lot."

"It's just a small part. And seven or eight hundred men and horses remained outside the city, and did not come. ”

Jin Lan said: "I remember that the boss of this horse gang is called Shao Batian? This horse gang is the largest horse gang in the Great Zhou, and its prestige in the rivers and lakes is also very great. ”

"Shao Batian is dead, and the person who now controls the horse gang is Shao Batian's widow." Xu Hu said, "The first emperor attached great importance to these caravans, and once personally summoned Shao Batian. This time they have just returned from the Ancient Tea Horse Road, is the emperor going to summon their new leader? ”
