The Children of the Fanwai (2)

Emperor Xuanping frowned after reading the memorial. He turned to He Qi beside him and said, "This Yushi Liu is really talkative and annoying."

"I am going to be a father when the queen is pregnant. But he is here to persuade me to take a concubine and have a concubine's son. It's really annoying."

Because of the eldest prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, Emperor Xuanping hated the three words "官网". Seeing such a memorial, Emperor Xuanping felt disgusted and angry.

He Qi smiled casually and said, "The emperor is not happy, so he can just give a verbal reprimand. The ministers in the court naturally didn't say anything."

Emperor Xuanping snorted: "Who dares to talk too much, I can't spare him."

He Qi smiled knowingly.

It has been the fifth year since Emperor Xuanping ascended the throne.

In recent years, Emperor Xuanping has subdued all the ministers little by little with gentle means. Several elderly ministers in the court have retired, and they have also replaced young officials trusted by Emperor Xuanping.

The Great Chu Dynasty had been fighting in the past few years, with no one ploughing the fertile land. People who were forced by heavy taxes to have no way to survive gathered together to become bandits and cause chaos in the people.

Emperor Xuanping reduced tax exemptions, canceled the withdrawal of troops, and allowed the people to recuperate. Over the past few years, there have been results. Especially last year, the weather was good in various parts of Dachu and harvests were good in many places.

The people have lived a better life, the people in the court are at peace, and the prestige of Emperor Xuanping is getting stronger and stronger.

Emperor Xuanping did not issue an order, and directly summoned Liu Jingshi to Baohe Hall, and angrily scolded: "... The queen is pregnant and needs to calm her mind to nourish her fetus at this time, and she must not activate her fetal aura. At this age, Jingshi Liu won't even understand this principle. What is the intention of submitting this memorial at this time?"

"Do you want the queen to feel uneasy or to control my feelings?"

The old Censor Liu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, and knelt down and apologized: "The emperor calmed down. The old minister had no other intentions, but just hoped that the emperor's descendants would prosper..."

"It is my business to whether the children are prosperous or not. My queen will give birth to children for me." Emperor Xuanping said coldly: "As the Censor, you can do your own duties well. If you do things in the palace, you won't have to worry about Censor Liu."

Censor Liu: "..."

Censor Liu was criticized by Emperor Xuanping and sued him in shame. He sued him for illness the next day and had no shame to go to court again.

The matter spread quickly, and the ministers who were originally ready to submit the memorials suddenly stopped.

The memorial of Censor Liu was indeed secretly instructed by someone, and he was quite impressed by throwing a stone to ask for directions.

In the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, the queen has been in the palace for four years and has been in the palace for two years. The novelty is over. Just when the queen is pregnant, she cannot serve the pillow and mat and wants to send her daughter, niece or granddaughter into the palace, isn't the opportunity here?

However, he did not expect that Emperor Xuanping, who had always been gentle, was so tough in this matter.

...

Emperor Xuanping did not want Empress Liang to think too much? He concealed the memorial of Censor Liu.

Queen Liang knew about this? It was half a month later. Moreover, I learned about it from the chat of the little palace maid.

Queen Liang was both moved and uneasy? She blushed and said, "What a big deal? Why did the emperor hide it from me?"

Emperor Xuanping carefully picked the fish bones and put the fish into Queen Liang's bowl? He smiled and said, "What a big deal. Jingshi Liu is just a clown who jumped into the beam and was pushed in front of me to test my intentions."

"If I tolerate him? I'm afraid there will be a bunch of memorials to persuade me to choose a concubine tomorrow."

The fish is tender and fragrant.

Queen Liang took a bite slowly? She said softly: "It is indeed inappropriate for me to have only one concubine in the emperor's harem. Now that I am pregnant, I cannot serve the emperor. It is indeed time to choose a concubine for the emperor."

A woman needs to have confinement when she is pregnant until she is about to give birth? It takes one year to add up. Can the emperor keep the empty room for one year?

Her queen? She should take the initiative to choose a concubine.

Emperor Xuanping looked at Queen Liang with a smile: "Do you want to choose a concubine for me?"

Queen Liang wanted to nod against her conscience, and a word suddenly flashed through her mind.

You and I are husband and wife, so we should be honest. No matter what happens, don't hide it from me.

Queen Liang's heart trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes for a while? Looking at Emperor Xuanping with deep eyes, she mustered up the courage and said, "No? I don't want to."

"I don't want to be a virtuous queen. I love the emperor wholeheartedly, but I just want the emperor to have only one person in my heart. I don't want the emperor to choose a concubine? I don't want the emperor to have other women, and I don't want other women to have children for the emperor..."

As he said that, Queen Liang's eyes turned red. Her voice also choked: "I am not virtuous and generous at all? I just want to monopolize my husband."

Emperor Xuanping was not angry after hearing this, but instead raised his lips and smiled: "I think so too."

Queen Liang choked and looked at him with red eyes.

Emperor Xuanping smiled at her: "Ruyue, I will tell you today. I have never planned to marry another woman. It is enough for me to have you."

Queen Liang was so shocked by the huge surprise that she couldn't come back to her senses. She was stunned for a long time before saying: "What the emperor said is true?"

"I don't like to make a vow," Emperor Xuanping said lightly: "The road is far away and the horse's strength will be seen in the long run. You will always understand my intentions in the future."

Can she believe what he said?

Will there be only one queen for an emperor?

Queen Liang's heart was both sweet and a little bitter. She ate all the fish in the bowl. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil and said solemnly: "I know the emperor's intention to treat me. I will definitely live up to the emperor's deep affection."

...

"Will the emperor choose a concubine?"

"Won't."

In the Duke of Pingguo's mansion, He Qicheng and Jinrong, who returned to the mansion together, whispered: "The Empress Dowager was trapped in the Jiaofang Hall and was suppressed by Concubine Zheng. There were many princes born in the late emperor and they fought against each other for the sake of the throne."

"These are knots that the emperor cannot untie."

"He told me that he did not want to be like the late emperor. He wanted to be a kind emperor and start the prosperous era of Chu. He also wanted to be a good husband and a good father."

"I believe he can do it."

He Qi stared at the firm Cheng Jinrong: "You are very confident in the emperor."

Cheng Jinrong raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Yes. I believe in him and can do everything he wants."

He Qi reached out to touch Cheng Jinrong's face, and laughed in a low voice: "Arong, I love your confident look the most."

Cheng Jinrong smiled and glanced at him: "What do you mean is I am blindly confident in verbal words?"

He Qi immediately raised his hand and surrendered: "How dare the official offend Mr. Timian!"

Cheng Jinrong spat with a smile, and suddenly felt a little churning in his stomach and couldn't help frowning.

He Qi was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"

"The stomach has always been churning a little these days." Cheng Jinrong frowned and said to himself: "It seems that Yue Xin has been a few days late."
