"You trust that Zhou Yunxi like this?"

The situation in the house is somewhat similar to the conversation between Zhou Yunxi and Mama, but in contrast, the conversation between Concubine Liu and Liu Yue, who is now the Queen Mother, is more straightforward.

"Yunxi has no other thoughts." Liu Yue replied softly, and treated the Empress Dowager Liu very respectfully, "The daughter-in-law knows what the queen mother is worried about, but if Yun Xi has such a mind, how can it be the turn of the daughter-in-law to sit in the position of the queen now?" ”

"Nonsense."

Empress Dowager Liu frowned when she heard Liu Yue say this, and it was clear that she didn't like Liu Yue's words. And for this, Liu Yue was not afraid, just pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a slightly bitter smile.

"The queen mother knows that her daughter-in-law is not talking nonsense." Liu Yue's voice was very soft, "Yun Xi has never thought about the emperor from beginning to end, you also know her ability, if there is really something, and the emperor's joy and favor, how can the courtiers and daughters-in-law fight?" ”

"That's just the past."

Liu Yue's words made Empress Dowager Liu's brows furrow a little deeper, but as Liu Yue said, Empress Dowager Liu also knew about this matter.

If Zhou Yunxi really thought a little bit about Chu Ci at the beginning, according to Chu Ci's temperament, he would definitely marry Zhou Yunxi and give her the position of wife.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Liu felt that her conversation with Zhou Yunxi in the past was actually unnecessary. After all, at that time, Zhou Yunxi and Qin Fengyi were already in love.

- I don't know if what she did at the beginning would make Zhou Yunxi hold a grudge, which would make Qin Fengyi, the son of the Qin Hou Mansion, dissatisfied in his heart.

Of course, at the moment, there is no such trend.

"The courtier's daughter-in-law knows that this is just the past." Liu Yue chuckled, "Now the emperor doesn't have a princess in his heart, but he is simply closer to the Qin Marquis Mansion. The emperor is not the third prince of the past. ”

Empress Dowager Liu nodded slightly, and agreed with Liu Yue's words.

In any case, after becoming an emperor, many things will change. And for Empress Dowager Liu, the change in Chu Ci is also what she wants to see.

The emperor should have been cold-blooded.

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Liu was actually a little dissatisfied with Chu Ci's devotion to Liu Yue. After all, in the eyes of Empress Dowager Liu, Chu Ci was a little too concerned about Liu Yue.

For the queen of course, but it is too much.

Chu Ci didn't accept a concubine until this year, and he still had to accept a concubine, which made Empress Dowager Liu a little dissatisfied with Liu Yue. It's just that she has lived in the Ling Temple in recent years, and it is not easy to meddle in the affairs of the harem.

If Liu Yue hadn't come to the Ling Temple to stay and retreat temporarily, Empress Dowager Liu would not have deliberately gone to Liu Yue to talk about it. But since Liu Yue is here, Empress Dowager Liu will not miss this opportunity.

"The queen thinks that how many royal heirs are the most suitable?"

Empress Dowager Liu thought about it, but did not speak directly, but changed to a more tactful question. She looked at Liu Yue with a smile, like a kind elder.

But Liu Yue knew that this was just an appearance.

If her answer does not satisfy the Empress Dowager Liu, the Empress Dowager Liu will not give up. Although she may not be tough, she will definitely express her dissatisfaction.

Thinking of this, Liu Yue couldn't help but feel that Chu Ci had some clever calculations.

"After returning to my mother, the emperor's meaning is that one man and one woman are enough." Liu Yue said softly, and at the same time paid attention to the Empress Dowager Liu's expression, "The emperor said that if there are too many children, if the throne is passed on in the future, it may be bloody again, and there are even tricky people and things like now, so that the children will be as difficult to be at peace as him." ”

"The daughters-in-law obey the emperor's wishes for the affairs of the royal heirs." Beauty Nest

Liu Yue's words were also told to her by Chu Ci, before Liu Yue left the palace, Chu Ci had explained, if the Empress Dowager Liu intended to ask about the harem, she would say that it was all Chu Ci's meaning, Liu Yue, just doing things according to Chu Ci's meaning.

In this way, even if Empress Dowager Liu is dissatisfied, she will not embarrass Liu Yue too much.

"You're the Queen." As Chu Ci expected, after Liu Yue said that, although Empress Dowager Liu's face was not very good-looking, she really didn't embarrass Liu Yue, "The matter of the harem, naturally you should have the final say." ”

"But the emperor is the lord of Great Chu and the lord of the palace, and the affairs of this harem ......"

Liu Yue hesitated, but her hesitation made Empress Dowager Liu very satisfied.

Not for anything else, just because of Liu Yue's 'hesitation', everything is subject to the meaning of Chu Ci. However, although Empress Dowager Liu was satisfied with Liu Yue's attitude, it did not mean that she felt that Liu Yue's approach was right.

At least, in terms of royal heirs, Liu Yue doesn't need to follow Chu Ci's meaning.

Isn't this royal bloodline just the more the better?

"Having said that, as the emperor's wife, you also have to think more about this scattered matter." Empress Dowager Liu patted Liu Yue's hand and said softly, "Empress, you have to remember that in this palace, there are too many children, so it is lively." ”

"But—"

"No, but."

Empress Dowager Liu suddenly became a lot more serious, and looked at Liu Yue with a little warning in her eyes. This appearance made Liu Yue bite her lip slightly, and she seemed to be a little hesitant and entangled.

"The mourning family knows that you are a good child, and you can also understand the bitterness of the mourning family." Empress Dowager Liu sighed lightly and squeezed Liu Yue's palm vigorously, "It's also a child who knows the general situation, right?" ”

"Queen Mother, when the daughter-in-law came, the emperor said that you would probably talk about it." Liu Yue bit her lip and said cautiously, "So the emperor asked his daughter-in-law to bring you this letter." ”

As he spoke, Liu Yue respectfully handed over the envelope with both hands.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Liu frowned slightly, stretched out her hand to take it, and after comforting Liu Yue a little, she carefully looked at the envelope. As soon as she looked at the handwriting on it, she knew that it was indeed written by her own son Chu Ci.

"The mourning family knows."

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Liu opened the envelope and looked at it slowly.

Liu Yue didn't speak anymore, just sat quietly, completely becoming a background board-like existence. Liu Yue hadn't felt such a feeling for a long time.

It's not that I'm afraid of Empress Dowager Liu, but because Empress Dowager Liu is Chu Ci's biological mother, and Chu Ci also has great respect for her. Under such a premise, if it is not necessary, Liu Yue is unwilling to collide with the Empress Dowager Liu.

As long as Empress Dowager Liu's requests and rhetoric are not excessive, Liu Yue can listen and echo them all.

"Emperor, this is really—"

After reading the letter, Empress Dowager Liu's face was bright and displeased.

She glanced at Liu Yue, and when she saw that Liu Yue was silent, she sighed.

After a while, I saw her throw the envelope directly into the charcoal brazier, closed her eyes slightly, picked up the Buddha beads and slowly held them, looking a little tired.

"That's it, that's it."
