At this time, Li Longji's sixth son had just been born, and although two of the seven daughters died, the rest of them added up to be considered a strong heir. It stands to reason that Li Longji has passed the excitement of becoming a father for the first time, and he is particularly happy when he hears that Wu Guanyue is pregnant.

Why this is so, Li Longji himself doesn't know, probably because among the concubines, his favorite is Wu Guanyue, Aiwu and Wu, Wu Guanyue's children are naturally different from other children.

In comparison, Xiao Jiangyuan is not so happy. There are several more children in the palace in a short period of time, and the corresponding number of service personnel will also increase, and the expenses will naturally increase a lot. However, the country's population is not abundant, and natural disasters have occurred frequently in recent years, and the food is barely enough to eat, and the taxes cannot keep up, although it does not make the royal family lack food and clothing, but only under good scheduling, such as prohibiting the emperor from rewarding people with money and silk, it seems to be passable.

The seals stamped by the queen on weekdays are all from the internal service province, and she is the mother of the country, and she is a person on the people, and there is no reason to take care of everything, and the emperor can generally lead the overall situation, so most of the personnel and money in the palace have fallen on the head of Xiao Jiangyuan, a person under him.

Although she also has many subordinates who can arrange things one by one, she has always been very demanding of herself, and those things are big and small, even as small as a number, you must remember to say it clearly, and when the queen asks randomly, she must also be able to open her mouth to come, and the answers are clear and cause and effect, which can be regarded as satisfying. During the day, she had to serve by Li Longji's side, and at night she became more and more busy.

Li Longji saw that Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes were getting darker, and he was also quite distressed: "Why don't you be by my side for half a day during the day, and take care of your own affairs at other times?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan ignored him.

Li Longji said again: "You have just started now, you don't know the bottom in your heart, just be more detailed, in the future, you still have to learn to let go and assign things to the right people, so that you will be much more relaxed and have more time to rest." You see how smart the queen is to use her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, and you are also a shrewd person on weekdays, why do you only know how to do stupid things at this time? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly: "The minister is not as powerful as Yao Xianggong. ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan's mood seemed to be wrong, Li Longji put his cheek on his cheek with one hand, and said while observing: "Talents like Yao Gong can be met but not sought, but many people under him can be brought out, such as you under my hands, isn't it already a little effective?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't speak, and he didn't know whether he agreed or didn't bother to pay attention to him. Li Longji put down the pen that was reading the notes, and guessed with some apprehension: "You...... Are you messing with me? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened for a while, as if he was surprised, and he was also a little dazed. She still didn't speak, but tilted her head to look at Li Longji, as if looking for an answer.

Li Longji knew that Xiao Jiangyuan would be puzzled by his questioning, indicating that he was more likely to guess correctly. He suppressed the small surprise in his heart, confirmed and asked again: "You...... Is it because these children are jealous? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan blinked and lowered his head silently. Li Longjiquan acquiesced to her, and said happily: "I am the emperor, it is my responsibility and obligation to reproduce children and grandchildren in the rain and dew, you said that the concubines have entered the palace, how can I ignore them?" As for how there are so many children in the past two years......"

Li Longji would not openly say how strong his ability was, but he didn't know how to explain it well for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he thought of a reason: "Maybe it was because my grandmother killed too many Li Tang clans before, and God took pity on our Li family's descendants to wither, as compensation, this is ......"

The truth is reasonable, but who will believe it? Li Longji also had no other way, but when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan listening carefully, he nodded. After nodding, her expression immediately changed back to the most ordinary light smile in the past, as if nothing had happened.

Li Longji: "......"

He just spoke to explain that it was indeed to coax Xiao Jiangyuan, it can be seen that she was relieved so quickly, and he was angry. He was about to say something more, when he saw the little eunuch enter and said, "Qi Sheng, Yao Xianggong has arrived." ”

Yao Gong is here? Xiao Jiangyuan is lucky. Li Longji stood up while slandering, and went straight to the door of the palace, smiling and hurrying.

Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly followed, and saw that Li Longji did not allow Yao Chong to see the ceremony, worried that Yao Chong would be frozen in the sky of Layue, and reprimanded the little eunuch for not knowing how to do things, and should directly invite Yao Chong into the palace. Before the words fell, he personally picked up Yao Chong's arm and was about to go to the hall.

…… Is this still Li Longji? Even if it's for him, it's not like that.

It was the first time Xiao Jiangyuan had seen Li Longji like this, and she was surprised, she quietly saluted Yao Chong, and was reprimanded by her family: "It's not good to be polite after entering the palace?" I don't look at what the climate is now. Don't you dodge and let Yao Gong enter the palace to warm up? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly walked behind Li Longji before confessing his guilt.

Outside the palace, Yao Chong never brushed Li Longji's face, which can be regarded as receiving the love of the Son of Heaven, and paving the way for the future of his officialdom with the fastest and most effective speed. After entering the hall, he said that he would not accept Li Longji's thoughtfulness at all. After insisting that Li Longji take a seat, he saluted in a proper manner before he made his intentions clear.

Li Longji was very satisfied with Yao Chong's attitude, but after hearing his intentions, his attitude changed subtly: "I didn't hear clearly, what list did Yao Gong come here to report?" ”

Yao Chong said again: "Lang official." ”

After confirming, Li Longji stopped talking. Most of the smile on his face was gone, leaving only a few on his lips, so that people could not see joy and anger. He originally sat extremely upright, and originally planned to invite him to sit down and talk after Yao Chong finished speaking, but now he propped one arm on the railing of the circle chair, and his body was a little crooked, and he didn't mention the matter of giving the seat.

The hall was very quiet and embarrassed for a while.

Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't figure out what Li Longji meant, and when he saw Yao Chong looking at him with an inquiring look on his face, he had no choice but to nod first and let him do what he wanted.

Yao Chong took out the list of Lang officials, and when he saw that the Son of Heaven didn't mean to read it, he directly read out the names one by one. A string of names is pronounced, and the time for a cup of tea passes.

“…… I don't know what the saint thinks, is it okay? Yao Chong closed the list and glanced up at Li Longji. saw this young son of heaven, looking up at Fang Liang in a trance.

…… Is that okay or not? What's the matter with looking at the beams? I was so enthusiastic about myself just now, why don't you ignore it now? Is there something wrong with this list? If there is a problem, just say no, is it possible that there is any low-level problem He didn't notice, the sage said that he was afraid that his old face would not be able to get by, or did he read it too fast, the sage didn't hear it clearly, and he was too young and thin-skinned, so he was embarrassed to say?

He turned his eyes to look at Xiao Jiangyuan, and saw that she was also at a loss, and even followed the sage's gaze carefully, obviously not seeing anything. Forget it, he still slowed down his speech and read it again, maybe somewhere he could read, and the saint opened his mouth.

Yao Chong opened the list again, and slowly, read it again. With this thought, the time for two teas passed, and a palace attendant couldn't hold back, yawned, and was dragged to the court by Xiao Jiangyuan.

The palace people's cry for mercy was so miserable that it didn't make Li Longji look away, he still looked up at the beam, how did Ren Yao Chong ask, how did Xiao Jiangyuan remind, but he didn't speak.

Yao Chong realized that something was wrong at this time. Of course, the saint did it on purpose, but he didn't treat himself slowly, he really wanted to be a corporal of courtesy, and his attitude changed when he heard that he had come to report the list of officials, so the problem was still on this list. But what kind of questions are there that the saints can't speak up for themselves?

I can't imagine that I am old, but I can't figure out the heart of such a young man. He had to close the list, say no more, and retire directly, to carefully appreciate and ponder the deep meaning of the saint.

At this time, Li Longji reacted. He put on a kind and cheerful smile again, got up and walked to Yao Chong's side: "Yao Gong is leaving?" I'll send Yao Gong. ”

It was not enough to send it outside the hall, Li Longji put his cloak on Yao Chong's body, and at Yao Chong's insistence, he had no choice but to accept his salute, and finally saw him leave. When he returned to the hall, seeing Xiao Jiangyuan staring at Fang Liang who he had just seen, Li Longji smiled: "What are you looking at?" There's nothing on there. ”
