"The queen is careful." Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled gently, "Then according to what the queen said." ”

Sun Kui originally thought that Emperor Wu of Zhou would oppose the empress's proposal, but he didn't expect Emperor Wu of Zhou to agree, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"The concubine will carefully select a few well-born beauties and send them to the palace of the king." Empress Xie said, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

Looking at Empress Xie's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Emperor Wu of Zhou said softly: "Empress, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Empress Xie hesitated before speaking: "Your Majesty, do you want to send a few imperial doctors to the palace of the acting prince to check the pulse of the acting king and the acting princess?" As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly added, "The acting king has often fought abroad in recent years, and he has suffered a lot of injuries, large and small, and he has also taken a lot of medicine. ”

"Then send the imperial doctor to the palace of the king."

After Emperor Wu Zhou finished speaking, seeing Empress Xie's expression again, he smiled at her slightly, "Empress, what else do you want to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine arranged for the imperial doctor to go to the palace and reward the beauty to the king, I am afraid that Concubine Rong will be unhappy, and she will not agree to the concubine to do this." Empress Xie said, with a wry smile on her face, "I'm afraid that Concubine Rong will feel that the concubine deliberately humiliated the acting king." ”

Sun Kui said in his heart, isn't it?

"You're kind too." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "Even if the queen doesn't say it, I will send the imperial doctor to the palace tomorrow." ”

"Your Majesty, a father's heart."

"Tomorrow, you can arrange it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked again, "Empress, is there anything else?" ”

"The concubine is fine, the concubine won't bother you." Empress Xie curtsied, "Your Majesty, you should also rest early." ”

"The queen also rests early." Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Sun Kui, "Send the queen out." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sun Kui sent Empress Xie out of the imperial study. Empress Xie did not leave in a hurry, but told Sun Kui: "Grandpa Sun, the emperor will forget the hour when he is busy, and you also remind the emperor to go to rest early." ”

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the slave and maid will definitely remind the emperor."

"If the emperor is hungry, remember to prepare a supper for the emperor." Empress Xie said, "Prepare something that is easy to eat for supper." Also, don't prepare strong tea for the emperor at night. After drinking too much strong tea, the emperor will not be able to sleep again at night......"

Empress Xie ordered a lot of things in one breath, and it wasn't until Sun Kui remembered them all that she took Jiang Chuan's hand and left.

Sun Kui sent Empress Xie for another while, and then was driven back by Empress Xie, asking him to hurry back to serve the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother told the slaves and maids a lot of things."

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked without raising his head, "What did she say?" ”

"The queen asked the slave to remind you to rest early...... Sun Kui told Emperor Wu of Zhou about what Empress Xie had explained to him.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou just nodded lightly and didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, the queen really cares about you."

Emperor Wu of Zhou just said "um".

Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't say anything, Sun Kui didn't want to bother him anymore, but when he saw the lotus seed soup next to the imperial table, he could only speak again: "Your Majesty, the soup sent by the queen's mother, if you don't drink it, it will be cold." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at the lotus seed soup that was placed aside, and said in a light tone, "Take it down." ”

"Yes." Sun Kui walked out with the soup.

Seeing this, his apprentice stepped forward and said, "Doesn't the emperor drink it?" ”

Sun Kui handed the soup in his hand to his apprentice, "The emperor has always not liked to drink soup, whether it is the queen mother or the soup sent by Concubine Rong, the emperor rarely drinks it." When Concubine Rong sent the soup, the emperor would symbolically drink two sips, and let him serve the rest of the soup. However, every time the emperor goes to the Kunde Palace, Liang Zhaoyi will prepare a bowl of soup for the emperor, and the emperor will drink it all.

"And what about this soup?"

"You're cheap." Sun Kui knew that this lotus seed soup was not boiled by the queen mother herself, so he let the apprentice drink it. If it was made by the queen's mother, Sun Kui would have poured it out.

"Thank you, Master." The apprentice took the soup and retreated, and only drank it when he returned to his room.

Empress Xie returned to Zhaoyang Palace and asked Jiang Chuan and Grandma Sun to select two palace maids with outstanding looks from the palace maids in Zhaoyang Palace. Others, pick from other palaces.

Jiang Chuan and Mama Sun understood what Empress Xie meant, and quickly selected two palace maids with excellent looks from Zhaoyang Palace. Empress Xie saw it and was very satisfied.

Mama Sun took the two palace maids and retreated, and then explained some things to them.

"Niangniang, the slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

Empress Xie said gently: "Say whatever you want." ”

"Niangniang, in fact, it is not a bad thing to let Kong Taichang's youngest daughter enter the palace of the dynasty."

Empress Xie was a little surprised by Jiang Chuang's words and asked, "Why isn't it a bad thing?" ”

"After Kong Taichang's youngest daughter enters the palace of the princess, she will definitely compete with the princess for favor. If she is the eldest son of the next generation of the king than Mr. Dai Princess, then her status in the Dai Wangfu will surpass that of the Dai Princess. "Jiang Chuan grew up in the Xie family, and he has seen a lot of things and methods in the Xie family's back house." The acting princess and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will definitely not give up. ”

Empress Xie didn't think of this, but now when she heard Jiang Chuan say this, she felt that it made some sense.

"Niangniang, the back house of the palace will not be peaceful in the times."

When Empress Xie heard this, she muttered, "It's really not a bad thing, but what's in it for us?" ”

"Niangniang, didn't you just say that His Royal Highness the Seventh is still young. In the past few years, the crown prince still needs to deal with the acting king. Jiang Chuan analyzed, "If you don't find something for the acting king, I'm afraid that the acting king will really succeed in replacing the crown prince before the seventh highness reaches adulthood, which will be very unfavorable to the seventh highness at that time." ”

"You're right." Before Xiaojing grows up, she still has to help the prince, and she can't let the prince be replaced by the acting king, otherwise when Xiaojing grows up, the acting king will sit firmly on the throne of the prince, and it will be very difficult to step down on behalf of the king at that time. "This palace will write a letter to my brother now, asking him not to prevent Kong Taichang's youngest daughter from becoming the acting king's side concubine."

"The mother is wise."

"Thanks to your reminder." Empress Xie was very angry with Concubine Rong tonight, and she didn't think of this aspect for a while.

"Niangniang, Concubine Rong, what are you going to do?"

"Let her be proud for a few more days." Empress Xie turned the ring on her ring finger and said meaningfully, "In a while, it will be the death day of that good sister in this palace." ”

"Niangniang, do you want to do something to Concubine Rong on the death day of the former queen?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"You said that in the emperor's heart, is Concubine Rong important, or is the good sister in the palace important?"

Jiang Chuan didn't dare to answer this question. Because no matter whether the answer is Concubine Rong or Empress Xian, Queen Xie will not be happy.

"To tell you the truth, this palace is not to blame."

Jiang Chuan didn't dare not answer, so he could only answer: "The slave maid thinks that in the emperor's heart, the first queen is more important than Concubine Rong. "When the first queen died, the emperor was sad that he did not go to court for three days. Also, when the first queen was alive, the emperor respected the first queen very much.

She remembered that once the first queen was sick, and she accompanied her mother, who was still a young lady at the time, into the palace to visit the first queen. Not long after they arrived, the emperor hurried to visit the first queen and personally fed the first queen to drink medicine.

At that time, Concubine Rong was also sick, but the first person the emperor visited after the emperor went down was Empress Xian, not Concubine Rong.

Also, she remembered that when the emperor was not the emperor, the emperor often fought outside, and every time he came back from a battle, the emperor would bring something to the first queen. At that time, the queen mother was very jealous of the first queen.

After the death of the first queen, the emperor will personally worship her every year on her death day. The first queen's birthday, the emperor remembers it clearly, and will go to Chonghua Palace to worship the first queen.

She remembers one thing. Back then, the first queen returned to Xie's house pregnant. In fact, at that time, the first queen was pregnant with four bodies, and her belly was not big, but the emperor was worried that something would happen to the first queen, so he not only personally helped the first queen get out of the car, but also took the hand of the first queen and carefully entered the Xie Mansion.

When the first queen was pregnant with the crown prince, her appetite was not very good, and the emperor specially looked for a good cook for the first queen and cooked meals for the first queen.

The emperor was very concerned about the first queen, and everyone in the Xie family looked at it at that time.

"If Yu Wanrong does something that insults my good sister on the death day of my good sister, do you think the emperor will be angry?"

"The emperor will naturally be angry."

Empress Xie had a plan in her heart and beckoned to Jiang Chuan. Jiang Chuan stepped forward, and Empress Xie whispered something in her ear.
