"The emperor is good to the queen, the things in the Xuanyuan Palace are indeed strange, and the emperor has done this for the queen." Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Mrs. Guan suddenly provoked the conversation, stroked her lower abdomen, and said to the ladies and beauties with a smile.

Empress Lu swept them around one by one, Qi Ji bowed her head slightly and was silent, Bo Ji tasted tea, Zhao Meiren nodded with a smile in response to Mrs. Guan, and nibbled on a few cases of fruit to eat, Shi Meiren's eyes followed Zhao Meiren and Mrs. Guan to look at it, and then looked at Bo Ji beside her, and also brought tea to drink. Everyone did not echo Mrs. Guan, Mrs. Guan smiled and nodded at Empress Lu awkwardly, Empress Lu glanced at her coldly, and Mrs. Guan suddenly smiled and said nothing.

Empress Lu said, "This palace has been the queen for four or five years, and I have never summoned you, nor have I really restrained you. The people in the harem should love themselves, the emperor is busy with government affairs, I hope you don't disturb him. We should also remember that we are women, and we should not participate in political affairs, let alone bewitch the emperor. The emperor does not belong to any of us, so there is no need to rely on the grace of the moment to do things that will be regretted in the future, and if it really comes to that time, don't blame this palace for not reminding you. ”

Everyone understood in their hearts what Empress Lu meant, and they all bowed their heads and said, 'Oh'.

Empress Lu deliberately glanced at Mrs. Qi, who was silent, a cold and disdainful smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, her sharp eyes finally softened, and she smiled slightly, "Have you read the subset of scriptures and histories recently?" Everyone looked at each other, some bowed their heads and did not dare to respond, some said that they had read a little, and some said that they could not understand.

Bo Ji asked, "I heard that the queen called us today to discuss silkworms?" ”

Empress Lu nodded 'um', "The world has been decided, the people have not really stabilized, and Guanzhong has been war-torn for a long time, and it will take time to regain its vitality." The emperor led the ministers to build water conservancy, open up the garden and fertile land, reduce taxes and levies, and return to the peasants, I have to say that it is really for the people, although we as the emperor's concubines can not go to the court to discuss political affairs with the ministers, deal with government affairs, and can not go into battle to kill the enemy, only do what we should do. Since ancient times, men ploughed outside, women spun inside, last year the people did not have a good harvest, the drought did not fall for a long time, the sericulture cause can not be carried out very well, and what we wear in the coming year should be a little tighter. ”

Bo Ji said, "We weave together with Niangniang and take the lead for the women of the world." ”

Empress Lu looked at Bo Ji, and the rest of the people didn't speak, but Bo Ji inserted such a lever. There were some hidden worries in Lu Hou's eyes, and she suddenly found that Bo Ji had a motherly demeanor in the world, and she chose a quiet and indifferent attitude and always cared for the people of the world, which made Lu Hou feel a little stunned in her heart and feel a little crisis, but this feeling was not strong. But Bo Ji does have a kind of motherly posture in the world, which really made Lu Hou's heart thump, and it took a long time to look away Bo Ji nodded slightly, and continued, "The ancestor of the silkworm Xiling clan is the silkworm god that our women in the world should respect, and it was she who invented silkworm breeding so that everyone in the world can cover their clothes and keep warm, and they can wear gorgeous clothes, and she is the ancestor of the silk industry. Since ancient times, it is a woman who has been weaving inside, and there have always been concubines who led the nine concubines to sacrifice the ancestors of the silkworms, and went to the northern suburbs to carry out the silkworm ceremony. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they really saw Empress Lu's motherly demeanor. Shi Meiren complimented, "Niangniang is really full of reading the subset of scriptures and history." "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" has a saying: Houji said, so the cultivators and weavers think that this religion is also. Therefore, the Son of Heaven personally commanded the princes to cultivate the emperor's homeland fields, and the doctors and scholars all had meritorious deeds. The concubine led nine concubines to silkworms in the suburbs, mulberry in the public field, is to have the power of hemp silk cocoons in spring, autumn, winter and summer, and teach women to teach. Therefore, the husband does not weave and wear, the wife does not plow and eat, and the men and women trade to live forever, and the system of this saint is also. Niangniang must have read these to the full, so she has the potential of motherhood in the world, and is an example for our harem concubines. Shi Meiren said to Empress Lu with a smile, and the concubines also cast admiring glances at Empress Lu. Mrs. Guan twisted her head from side to side, and saw that everyone was looking forward to Empress Lu, she really hadn't read these things, and she didn't know what Shi Meiren and the queen were talking about, so she smiled awkwardly on the spot, and praised Empress Lu with everyone.

Empress Lu looked at Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Qi also looked respectful and admiring Empress Lu, and complimented Empress Lu with a suppressed smile, "The emperor's country, there are talents like the queen mother who are more beautiful." Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor has the ancestor of the Xiling clan, and His Majesty has a mother. ”

Lu Hou curled the corners of his mouth and smiled with their flattery, "The colder the winter, the earlier spring will come." The palace just wants to say, the cold winter has not passed, the spring is still coming, you can learn about the ancestral Niangniang during this time, when it comes to the beginning of spring, the palace will discuss with the emperor to hold a silkworm ceremony in the northern suburbs, at that time if you do not respect the ancestral Niangniang or do not have a little understanding of her, then the clothes distributed by the young house in the coming year are not necessary. ”

Everyone said, 'Oh'. Empress Lu looked at their respectful appearance in front of her, smiled disdainfully in her heart, and told herself: Mother Yi is the only palace in the world. Several palace people came forward with teapots made of faience to pour tea for them, and added some delicious snacks. Zhao Meiren is the most food-loving person, she can't help swallowing saliva when she sees the delicious food, looking at the dim sum greedily, she doesn't dare to eat it without Empress Lu's instructions, her eyes keep rolling on the dim sum and Empress Lu, her mouth licks her lips and her eyes are round. Lu Hou saw that she couldn't change her mouth, and thought she was very cute, unlike other people who couldn't see the bottom at a glance, so she smiled and told her to eat whatever she wanted. Zhao Meiren thanked Lu with a smile and began to grab and eat.

"Has Bo Ji been studying Huang Lao's articles recently?" Lu Hou said to Bo Ji on the right case.

Bo Ji hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Bo Ji doesn't dare, I just like their attitude." It's just a matter of living with this interest, and I don't dare to study it intensively. ”

Before Empress Lu could speak, Mrs. Guan took over the conversation and said with a smile, "Mrs. Bo has never talked with us, so her real interest is to read this. I heard that people who read these books can ascend to heaven after death and meet the Queen Mother of the East Jade Emperor West, Chi Songzi and Prince Qiao. The concubine doesn't like to read, and I heard the queen mother and Mrs. Bo say this about Huang Lao's learning, and it seems that I have to learn it strongly. ”

Bo Ji turned her head to look at Mrs. Guan, who was smiling at her, and smiled at her embarrassedly and perfunctorily. Mrs. Guan's words did not help her in the slightest, but exposed herself to the eyelids of Empress Lu, Bo Ji knew that Mrs. Guan said this unintentionally, but how much danger did it bring to her, she had to spend time to pull herself back into Empress Lu's inattention and defenselessness.

Empress Lu glanced at Mrs. Guan, who was looking at Empress Lu with a smiling face at this time, and saw that the queen was looking at her fiercely, so she quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.

"It's nothing, today it's just silkworms. If you don't have anything important, you can spend more time with this palace here, and this palace hasn't chatted with you for a long time. If anyone has something to do, they can also go. Empress Lu was not going to talk about silkworms, she wanted to turn their attention to another matter, so she quickly ended the topic of silkworm pro-silkworms.

Although everyone heard the queen say this, no one dared to leave halfway, and still accompanied Empress Lu to talk.
