The next day, the court meeting ended, nothing serious, thinking of the tea matter, I took Meng He to Bashi Tai.

Tao Yao and Ba Ling were there, and Ba Ling looked at me a little wrong, as if he was a little dissatisfied, and he seemed to be a little resentful......

It seems that Tao Yao has already told her, and I think she thinks I robbed her sister, so she is a little emotional, human nature, understandable.

Seeing that her eyes were wrong, Tao Yao hurriedly asked her to go back to her room to continue her studies and took me into the middle hall.

After taking a seat, Tao Yao obviously didn't adapt to the change in the relationship, and she didn't have the previous calm and indifference, but some women's shyness.

I cleared my throat and defused my embarrassment: "Then what, I'm here to ask you today, how is the tea thing?" ”

Tao Yao quickly recovered the temperament of being a family, and responded: "The first batch of tea has been fried, according to the tea scriptures given by His Majesty, the spring tea is Longjing, Biluochun, and Mao Feng are the most, and the concubine ordered everyone to fry some." The people over there soaked and tasted it, and it was consistent with the color and aroma of the tea as stated in the tea scripture. It is expected that the tea will be delivered to Xianyang in the middle of the month. In addition, the house picked some clever ones and taught them the way of tea art. ”

I looked at Tao Yao appreciatively, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being my wife, she is thoughtful, and she is very relieved for her husband." ”

Tao Yao instantly went up, how can an untrained ancient woman withstand my teasing, Xiang Jing said shyly: "Your Majesty ......"

I smiled, stopped teasing her, and got down to business: "I'm here today to discuss something with you." ”

Tao Yao rubbed her pretty red face and nodded: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

"I want you out of business." I slowly explained the purpose of coming here, and at the same time stared at Tao Yao, for fear that she would not want to. Although I can let her continue to do business, if Yu He's gang is quite a headache, and she is already the emperor's wife, why bother to do these things again.

Tao Yao nodded obediently: "Everything is up to Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that Tao Yao didn't have the slightest expression of surprise, I was curious: "Aren't you objecting?" ”

Tao Yao smiled slightly and shook her head: "The concubine knew that there would be this day, Your Majesty is the emperor, how can the identity of a businessman be worthy of Your Majesty." ”

I played with the porcelain cup in my hand, and there was no displeasure on Tao Yao's expression, but I added: "If you want to continue doing business, I naturally have a way, don't be embarrassed." ”

Tao Yao smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, not only will the concubine not do business anymore, but the concubine will also ask Your Majesty to separate Baling from business together." ”

Now it was my turn to be surprised: "Baling is also out of business?" But what about Bab's huge family business? It's your mother's hard-earned inheritance. ”

Tao Yao still had a smiling expression and replied, "Concubine Thank You, Your Majesty." Ba's industrial concubines had already made plans, except for some businesses in Xianyang City, others including several mines in Bashu, tea, salt, and porcelain, and the concubines were willing to hand over all of them to the imperial court. As for the business in Xianyang City, after all, there are so many people in Bashi, so leave them to live. ”

"You ......" My eyes widened, Ba Shi and Wu Shi are rich and rival the country, and now Tao Yao is willing to dedicate all Ba Shi's family property to the imperial court?

That's when I remembered Baling's eyes, I see.

Gathering my thoughts, I frowned slightly: "Tao Yao, you don't have to be like this, I have no other intentions to marry you, if marrying me makes you unhappy, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." ”

Tao Yao smiled understandingly: "Your Majesty, all this is the concubine's willingness. The concubine knows that the imperial court now needs money everywhere, and although these properties of the Ba clan are not as good as the national treasury, they are also a lot, and the concubine is very happy to be able to share the worries of His Majesty. These people of the Ba clan have been rich for decades with their mothers and concubines, and now it is time for them to fend for themselves. ”

Seeing that I was going to persuade her, she continued: "The concubine is not just to help Your Majesty, the concubine's move is intended to break with Ba Shi. If the concubine really marries His Majesty, lest someone in the Ba clan use His Majesty's name to do anything wrong, wouldn't it ruin His Majesty's good name. ”

I took a deep breath and didn't know what to say to such an empathetic woman.

Got up and walked in front of her and suddenly hugged her tightly.

I could feel Tao Yao's heartbeat suddenly accelerate, struggling gently in my arms, and said shyly: "Your Majesty, you haven't married yet, Your Majesty...... Pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't let people gossip. ”

Beauty is in the arms, how can you let go easily. I hugged it tighter and said with emotion: "Taoyao, I have you, just like a dry land has received a rain." Whoever dares to speak, I cut off his tongue! ”

Tao Yao stopped struggling, and slowly raised her hands to hold me, snuggled in my arms, her face full of happiness.

"The concubine is fortunate to be favored by His Majesty, and it is like getting the light of the stars in the dark night, and the concubine will live up to the king."

After a long time, Tao Yao spoke again: "Your Majesty, the concubine still has something, I want to ask Your Majesty." ”

I let go of the fragrant nephrite in my arms and replied, "I can ask, I know everything." ”

Tao Yao smiled and said, "Your Majesty wants to make the concubine a lady or a beauty?" Or is it a long envoy or a small envoy? ”

Hearing this, I remembered Yingwu's words, and my mood instantly fell to the bottom, and I said leisurely: "Why do you say this? I...... I want to make you the queen. ”

Tao Yao suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, I was at a loss: "What are you laughing at?" Unbelief? ”

Tao Yao restrained her smile and said solemnly: "If Your Majesty is a concubine, the concubine will be very disappointed." ”

I was stunned: "Why? Is it bad to be a queen? ”

"It's not bad, it's not." Tao Yao's expression was firm: "If Your Majesty makes a merchant the queen, it will definitely provoke criticism from the world, and Your Majesty will become the only emperor through the ages, how can you be criticized for a concubine?" The concubine is not in the name of the queen, it is enough to get His Majesty. ”

I shook my head and argued, "I went to find Zongzheng two days ago, and Zongzheng said ...... to me"

I hid Zongzheng's words from the paragraph after not making Tao Yao, relayed them to her, and finally said: "Even Zongzheng supports me, why am I afraid? ”

Tao Yao did not agree: "If Your Majesty is really good for the concubine, you will listen to the concubine, and the best one will be the last." The concubine has no family background, if she is the queen, not only will Your Majesty be criticized, but the concubine will also be targeted everywhere, is this what Your Majesty wants to see? ”

Seeing Tao Yao so sensible and thinking about me everywhere strengthened my determination to make her the queen.

I looked resolute and said solemnly: "Although I have not been on the throne for a long time, I am not at the mercy of others. I am the emperor, can't I decide who to marry? ”

When Tao Yao heard this, I wanted to persuade something, I stepped forward, hugged her in my arms, and couldn't help but kiss her, Tao Yao's eyes widened, and she immediately fell into it and took the initiative to ask for it.

After a long time, the two reluctantly parted, looking at Tao Yao's affectionate eyes, I said softly: "Don't think about other things, rest assured!" ”

Tao Yao bit her lips tightly and nodded heavily.
