"What books has the queen been reading lately? My mind is becoming more and more transparent, and I will take a look. ”

Yuanzhi went to Kunning Palace for a while, but Queen Zhou was not in the palace, and the palace maid said that she went to Baohua Hall to pray, and had been there for a while.

He casually went to the queen's bookshelf to read, and the little palace maid took out some of the books that Queen Zhou had read recently, and Yuan Zhi saw that they were just ordinary books.

There are some Confucian and Taoist classics, as well as some ways to govern the world, and even Zhiwei notes.

Motoji couldn't help but turn the page, and it was written that a man heard the sound of sprinkling water in the yard, but when he went out, a ghost old lady sprinkled water on him, and he died instantly.

It's all a mess.

He walked behind the bookcase again and read a few manuscripts written by Empress Zhou.

Suddenly, I heard movement outside the courtyard, it seemed that the palace maids and grandmothers were coming back with Queen Zhou, and Yuan Zhi went out to take a look, and sure enough.

Seeing Yuanzhi standing in the hall, Empress Zhou was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Why is the emperor here? I don't know if it's going to happen. ”

"I'm idle."

Yuan Zhi took her hand and sat in the pavilion again, "It's just that why did you go to Baohua Hall today?" ”

"Thinking that the weather is fine today, I went to pray for the child, and by the way, I also prayed for the child in Zhao Guiren's womb."

Empress Zhou said with a smile: "Bless the emperor's two dragon sons with good health and peace, so that the emperor and the queen mother can have less worries." ”

It's rare to have good weather today, but it's still cold.

When Motoji heard her mention this, he stroked her stomach, and suddenly felt something in his stomach kick him.

He was stunned.

"Just ......"

"It was the kid who kicked it."

Queen Zhou smiled deliciously, "The emperor put his hand on it, maybe the child will kick it in a while!" ”

She put Genji's let go hand back on her stomach, and sure enough, the child kicked a few more times, and Genji could feel the power coming from his palm very powerful.

He was overjoyed and didn't know what to say.

It turned out that the woman's pregnancy was like this, this was his first child, he had only seen Su Youyi pregnant before, but he had never felt it with his own hands.

When Queen Zhou saw his happy and helpless look, she couldn't help but feel funny, "Two days ago, Zhao Guiren came to ask for peace, and when she saw the fetus in the abdomen of her concubine, she was very envious. In two months, her baby will also move. ”

The two children are safe and sound, and Yuanzhi couldn't be more satisfied.

He said gratefully to Empress Zhou: "Thanks to your well-behaved majesty in the harem, the children can be safe." I have you as a queen, which is really a blessing for several lifetimes. ”

"Your Majesty, don't be too happy."

Empress Zhou pursed her lips deliberately, "The concubines have all heard about it, and some ministers in the previous dynasty suggested that the emperor should choose concubines after the beginning of spring, saying that there are many concubines in the harem who are pregnant, and there are not many who can serve the emperor left, and another batch should be selected." ”

Yuan Zhi was a little embarrassed, "Who did you listen to when you said this?" ”

"The emperor still doesn't understand, there are many people in the harem, how can such news be hidden? Naturally, the concubine also listened. ”

"Nothing."

Yuan Zhi said slowly: "It is their duty for those ministers to propose, and they can't be blamed. But I don't have this intention, I've just been in power for a year, and I don't think about the big things in the court, what do you do with a little wife and a little wife? Aren't these harems enough? ”

Empress Zhou couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.

Dan'er brought tea and snacks, "The emperor tastes the newly made shortbread in Kunning Palace today, the queen mother likes it very much recently." ”

Yuan Zhi glanced at it, picked up a piece casually, and asked Queen Zhou, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

Empress Zhou shook her head, "In order to go to the Baohua Hall to pray, Dan'er was afraid that I would be hungry, so they let me eat a lot before leaving." When I arrived at the Baohua Palace, I put out Niu Rucha and small shortbread, saying that I was afraid that I would be hungry. How can I still have the stomach to eat these? ”

Motoji glanced at her round belly and couldn't help but smile: "You have one in your belly, and now I can't tell if you're full or not." Only when this little baby falls to the ground, it will be as if it was before. ”

Queen Zhou didn't eat snacks, just slowly sipped tea and laughed with Yuan Zhi.

Speaking of Zhao Guiren's fetus, Yuanzhi asked a few words, and Queen Zhou suddenly remembered something, and said to Yuanzhi: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks, seeing that it is about to come to an end, Zhao Guiren's pregnancy is also meritorious." In order to reward her, and for the happy event of the New Year, it is better to promote her position as a Jinyi. ”

Yuan Zhi paused and continued to eat the small shortbread, "You can decide this matter." The affairs in the harem, whether above the concubine or below the concubine, I will let you deal with it, and it will be the same in the future. ”

"How does this work?"

Queen Zhou said: "According to the rules, the concubines can only decide the promotion of the concubines and below, if it is a concubine or a concubine, the concubines do not have this power, and they must be disposed of by the emperor." ”

Motoji smiled and shook his head, "I'll tell you a story." The third brother's biological mother, Queen Wang, do you know a little bit? ”

Empress Zhou nodded.

When the third prince went out of the palace to build a mansion, when the eldest princess got married, the queen mother took the initiative to send the eldest princess and the biological mother of the third prince out of the cold palace, so that they could reunite with their children.

At that time, they also went to Kunning Palace to say goodbye, and Queen Zhou had some impressions.

"Although Queen Wang was the queen back then, her majesty was far inferior to Concubine Li Xian. Speaking of concubines, even the nobles are always there, and they may not be afraid of her. ”

Yuan Zhi said: "At that time, she wanted to dispose of the concubines according to the rules of the ancestors, but no one bought her account. And when the queen mother was in power, it was different, that is, the concubine she wanted to dispose of, who would dare not obey? ”

Empress Zhou listened thoughtfully.

After a while, she said: "What the emperor means is that the ancestral family law is one thing, and what matters is the emperor's mind, isn't it?" ”

Yuan Zhi shook his head, "In addition to my intentions, there are also your character and talents. If you are not a man of great responsibility, I cannot rest assured that I will leave everything to you. But since you slapped Concubine Li, I have been sure that you are a bold person. ”

Empress Zhou was a little embarrassed.

She didn't expect that she could be regarded as a gaffe move, and she would make Yuanji look up to it so much.

Since he trusted himself, Queen Zhou did not shirk it, "Since this is the case, the concubine will order someone to pass on the decree and ask the Internal Affairs Office to prepare a ceremony for Zhao Guiren to be a concubine." As for the title...... The emperor looks at it and asks the Internal Affairs Office to draw up one? ”

"It's good to have you watching."

Yuan Zhi looked at her belly, how happy he looked, "Said that Zhao Guiren has merit in conceiving a baby, don't you have merit?" I don't know how to reward you, why don't you do this, and make your mother Mrs. Yipin Fuguo, what do you think? ”

There is an old lady in the Zhou family who is Mrs. Yipin, and now there is another one.
