In the early days, Zhou Shuxuan felt that his illness was getting worse and worse. Leaning on the dragon chair, he cheered up and looked at the people below, and said, "If you have something, you will give it, and if you have nothing to do, you will disperse." ”

As soon as the words fell, a large number of people knelt down below, and the prime minister said: "The emperor is approaching the age of his establishment, and there is no son and half daughter under his knees, the reason is that there is no one in the harem, and the emperor is invited to fill the harem with a beauty pageant." ”

Zhou Shuxuan's head was a little dizzy, but now it hurts a little, he doesn't have children, he doesn't say anything himself, and what is the matter with them. I still have to save face, Zhou Shuxuan found a reason and said: "I am concerned about political affairs, and I have no time to care about the harem, and it is enough to have three mothers in the palace." Besides, the beauty pageant is extravagant and wasteful, and it costs people and money, which is completely unnecessary, so forget it. ”

"But the emperor, without a prince is always not a way, I am afraid that other countries will laugh at my country and have no successor."

Zhou Shuxuan cupped his forehead and said, "I'm afraid I'm not old enough to consider having a prince succeed to the throne, what are you anxious about?" Think I'm going to die if I wait another three or five years? ”

"The ministers don't dare, the ministers are just worried about the emperor."

"I don't need you to worry!" Zhou Shuxuan glanced at them annoyedly, and didn't want to say anything to them, so he simply got up and said, "I am unwell, retreat." ”

Zhou Shuxuan returned to the back, just at this time Lin Yan came over, Gao Fu came in to pass, Zhou Shuxuan didn't think about it and said, "Let her go!" ”

He's not in a good mood right now, and it's best not to bother him. But there are no eyes, for example, He Duzhou and Doctor Yushi, the two of them went down to the palace gate and went out, and then turned back.

He Quanzhou thought that he couldn't let Zhou Shuxuan do this, and decided that he just doted on the concubine too much, so he didn't even want other women. He is an emperor and cannot be so capricious.

Hearing that they were coming back, Zhou Shuxuan didn't want to see them, but when he thought that there was no way to see them, he would definitely have to face them, so it was better to solve the matter now, so he asked the two of them to come in.

After the two entered the door, Zhou Shuxuan also asked them to carry a stool and let them sit down and talk.

Before the two of them could speak, Zhou Shuxuan spoke first, and said to Doctor Yushi: "I heard that you seem to have several concubines, just like last year, you accepted the fifth concubine." ”

Doctor Yu Shi replied: "My mother wants to have more grandchildren, and the minister obeys her mother's orders, so she marries a few more." ”

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at him with a heavy face, and then said: "So a few concubines in your family are jealous and have caused a lot of trouble. And the family is almost unable to open the pot, and with the help of the Yue family doing business outside, they can barely make up for the family's deficit. Otherwise, he is wearing an official uniform outside, and he is probably patched inside. ”

Doctor Yu Shi knelt on the ground with a grunt, lowered his head and said, "It's because the ministers are not strict in governing the family, please ask the emperor to give you the guilt." ”

Zhou Shuxuan ignored him, turned his head to look at He Duzhou, raised his head slightly at him, and said, "It's your turn, say it!" ”

With this menacing appearance, He Duzhou thought about it for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the three palaces and six courtyards of the royal family can afford to raise them, and there will be no more mothers who are poor and can't open the pot." And the ladies are all virtuous and generous, and they will not be jealous like ordinary women. ”

That's weird, how did Xu Meitang die, how did Geng Qingru die, and the previous ones, who didn't feel jealous because of the wind.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't argue with him and said with a smile: "What you said is not unreasonable, I see that you have been married for many years, and you still have no children." ”

He Duanzhou had a bad premonition, and immediately said: "Humble Jing is still young and not suitable for production......

"But you're not small, I'm about the same age as you. Your wife is still young, and some of them are suitable women for childbirth, so they can take a few more concubines. I've got you covered. Without waiting for He Duzhou to refuse, Zhou Shuxuan glanced at Gao Fu, and Gao Fu led a row of palace maids out.

He Qianzhou looked at this battle, and was so frightened that he stood up, looked at the pile of women, and then at Zhou Shuxuan.

Zhou Shuxuan really said: "I personally picked it for you, and you will bring it back today." If you can't afford it, I will allocate money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help you raise it. If you are afraid that you will not want your wife to explain, you will say that you are a concubine by order. ”

He Duanzhou's face turned green, and he couldn't react for a long time when he looked at the pile of palace maids.

Zhou Shuxuan snorted, and said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze?" Thank you! ”

He Duanzhou had to kneel down to thank him, and he couldn't stop worrying in his heart, how could he go back now? Okay, what is he doing with a hornet's nest?

Two people came over, and a whole bunch went out. Doctor Yu Shi and He Duzhou went out boring and uninteresting.

Zhou Shuxuan saw that they had gone out, so he coughed out of his chest. He is using his own way to govern his body, so that He Duzhou can enjoy the blessings of all people, and see if He Duanzhou will let him fill the harem.

Gao Fu handed over a cup of hot water and persuaded: "Your Majesty, rest for a while, the dragon body is important." ”

He was so uncomfortable now that he got up and went to the couch behind him, ready to sleep for a while.

I thought I wouldn't be awake, but who wanted to gradually fall asleep. Not only did he fall asleep, but he also had a vague dream.

The surrounding environment was very vague, and Zhou Shuxuan couldn't tell where it was. He seemed to be holding a little girl in his arms, and he looked like Miao Li. The eyes and mouth are completely shrunken according to the scale. chose Miaoli like this, it must be his child.

He lowered his head and coaxed the child and taught her to shout: "Call Father, Father." ”

The little girl didn't speak, he slowly lost his patience, his tone became more severe, and he ordered: "Call Father." ”

The little girl was so frightened that she cried, and struggled out of his arms, crying as she ran, "Uncle is so fierce, Meimei is afraid, Meimei is afraid." ”

It turned out that it was not his child, he just wanted to chase it, but he heard the voice of a child behind him, "Father, father, don't you want me and my sister?" Then my sister and I don't want you anymore, we don't want you anymore, my father is a villain. ”

He turned his head suddenly, and saw two children running with their backs to him. He kept chasing after him, but he couldn't catch up, and he didn't even see their faces clearly when he saw them disappear from sight.

Zhou Shuxuan woke up from the bed, only to feel a cold sweat on his head and a chill on his back.

Luckily, it's a dream.

But it wasn't a dream, and he really didn't have a chance to see their faces clearly.

Zhou Shuxuan took the cotton cloth handed over by the eunuch, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's already dark, does the emperor want to go back to Longde Palace?"

Zhou Shuxuan lifted the quilt and sat up, and said while putting on his clothes: "Go to Qingquan Palace." ”

When Zhou Shuxuan arrived, Miaoli had already fallen asleep, and she didn't think about it when she heard him coming. "Tell the emperor that I am not feeling well and have been asleep for a long time."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately replied: "If you are not feeling well, call the imperial doctor to take a look, it is useless to sleep." ”

Miao Li saw that he had already entered the door, so he could only get up, Zhou Shuxuan said: "If you are uncomfortable, lie down, you don't need to get up, it's cold outside." ”

Although Miaoli was not used to talking to him in such an environment and in such a posture, it was really cold outside, so she just leaned on a little bit. Looking down at the embroidery on the quilt, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with the emperor coming over so late?" ”

Zhou Shuxuan said very seriously: "Today, the minister said that I am approaching the age of establishment but have no heirs, so let me fill the harem with beauty pageants. ”

Who is to blame for having no heirs? No one can blame it.

Miao Li didn't even raise her head, and said in a cold voice: "The emperor has his own opinion in his heart, ask the concubine what to do?" ”

"You are now the highest-ranking person in the palace, and I will not consult with you about such a thing, but with whom?"

There is no need to consult with her at all, and it is useless to consult with her. She will not feel uncomfortable, let alone jealous, and it is even more impossible to reconcile with him.

Miao Li said in the posture of a noble concubine: "The concubines feel that what you have said is not unreasonable, and the emperor should really think about the matter of the heir." Although the beauty pageant wasted some money, it was a bad thing. It's a good thing that someone is spreading the branches for the royal family, and it's not good to go on like this. ”

Zhou Shuxuan now longs to become the embroidery on her quilt, so that she can watch herself talk. How could she say such things so plainly, how could she be so generous, how could she not be angry at all.

Zhou Shuxuan then asked: "Then how many do you think is good to choose?" ”

"This, the concubine is not easy to say now. In fact, there is no need to stipulate how many you must choose, it depends on the situation. If you have a good one, it's okay to choose a few more. Anyway, the palace is so big, and it is lively when there are more people. What do you say, Your Majesty? ”

I said...... I am too...... That's what it means. Zhou Shuxuan choked his breath in his heart, and finally said a whole sentence.

Miao Li lowered her head, a sneer that he couldn't see on her face, and continued to say with a faint smile: "Actually, if there is a good one, the emperor may consider setting up a queen first and then choosing a concubine." There are more people, and there is always a need to preside over the feed, and it is not good that the middle palace has been empty. ”

Zhou Shuxuan forcibly nodded his head, indicating that what she said made sense. "I'll take into account what you say."

Miao Li had already finished what she wanted to say, and continued to look down at the quilt.

Zhou Shuxuan couldn't do it anymore here, so he stood up and said, "I'm gone, you can sleep." ”

"The concubine sends the emperor."

Walking out with heavy steps, Miaoli suddenly shouted again, "Your Majesty." Zhou Shuxuan turned back happily, thinking that she would change her mind.

"When the sisters enter the palace, it's better to invite a troupe to sing, there are more people watching the play."

"We'll talk about it then." Zhou Shuxuan stood and didn't go out, Miao Li brushed the quilt to indicate that she was going to sleep, and then looked up at him.

Zhou Shuxuan turned back in frustration and continued to walk out.

Mama Xi witnessed the whole process, "Niangniang......"

Miao Li fell asleep and turned over, and said irrefutably: "It's late, go to sleep." ”
