"What, let the emperor choose a concubine!" Xiao Guoer, who was behind Hu Pai, was happy when she heard the bad news from the empress dowager's aunt.

"Which god came up with this idea!" She slapped the table angrily.

Empress Xiao, "Your father."

"I, I..." Xiao Guoer was speechless for a moment and sat down in a weak position.

Empress Xiao said softly, "I agree too, Concubine Shu, Hongxiu, what do you think?"

Miao Hongxiu didn't say anything, but just looked at Wan Linglong, looking at her head.

Wan Linglong smiled and said, "Actually, I have advised Your Majesty to invite him to take more concubines, cultivate fields and sprinkle seeds, and always give birth to a prince, but Your Majesty doesn't listen."

Xiao Guoer glared at Wan Linglong and said to the Empress Dowager, "Auntie, don't listen to her. It's enough for the emperor to have five of us."

Miao Hongxiu coughed twice.

Wan Linglong corrected, "It's four."

Xiao Guoer waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about a few, it's enough anyway. I have to spend two or three days to have sex with the emperor's brother. If there are so many newcomers, won't it take one month to take turns! I won't it be better to do it~"

Empress Dowager Xiao blushed for her. Why did she have the nerve to say this in front of so many people?

The queen mother patted the table lightly, "Who are you blamed? It's been three years since the birth of Lao Liu, and there has been no movement at all. Let alone the prince, I can't even give birth to a seventh princess!"

Wan Linglong and Miao Hongxiu both lowered their heads in shame, and Xiao Guoer was still a little dissatisfied and thought that she and her brother worked so hard last night this morning, and they might have sprouted and started to sprout.

Empress Xiao said again, "In fact, the emperor is not yet in good condition and is in good health. There is no need to be so anxious. However, since the Fengshan Mountains, the emperor suddenly became obsessed with metaphysics and kept muttering about mortals practicing immortality all day long. Not only were the ministers worried, but the Ai family also angry that they did not fight!"

Xiao Guoer whispered, "It's nothing ~"

Empress Xiao snorted, "It's nothing, you don't know why his emperor grandfather didn't!"

"Oh?" The three pairs of gossip eyes immediately aimed at the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Xiao waved her hand, "Forget it, I won't mention those old things anymore. In short, this matter is a foregone conclusion. The Ai family is not discussing with you, but just telling you."

Xiao Guoer hung her head, and Wan Linglong and Miao Hongxiu also looked serious.

They have become accustomed to the interpersonal relationships of the four concubines. Once there are too many people, they are afraid that the existing balance in the harem will be broken.

"Be prepared. From a short time to a month, as long as half a year, a large number of young women with dignified appearances and innocent families will compete with you for the favor. This number may be very amazing. Women of the country's age are waiting to be selected."

The three concubines were shocked when they heard this. Wouldn’t they fill the harem all at once?

"Auntie, aren't you afraid that the emperor's brother will become addicted to women from now on. He will sing and become a foolish monarch every night~" Xiao Guoer asked with his neck stammering.

Empress Xiao snorted, "If a woman can really prevent her from becoming an immortal, then I would rather be a lustful and foolish monarch, at least a few more years of life."

Wan Linglong lowered her head and thought, it seemed that no son was the second. What really led to the talent show was His Majesty's addiction to cultivating immortals.

The Empress Dowager also mentioned, "As the old man in the palace, remember not to be jealous and get along well with the newcomers. Only when the emperor has a prince will the glory of your family be considered stable. Otherwise, otherwise, this great country may fall into someone's hands in the future."

This was the worst plan. If Emperor Fushou disappeared at a young age, and if there were princes, they would still be the mothers of the new emperor, and the princesses would still be the sisters of the new emperor.

If there is no prince, you have to choose one from Hu Lu's brother or nephew, and they will be nothing.

"But, will the emperor agree? He said that a marriage without feelings is like a piece of loose sand. It doesn't require the wind to blow, and it will disperse after taking two steps. He will not accept such a combination!" Xiao Guoer began to recite the quotes of blessing and longevity.

Empress Xiao hehe, "It's just a man's mouth. The emperor had never seen him before Yu Meiren entered the palace. How could he have any feelings? Didn't he marry him? As long as he is beautiful, the feelings of men are easy to cultivate."

Wan Linglong stroked the mahjong plaque and said with great worries, "Mother, suddenly there are more beautiful girls, and some of them have to be given a title. The extra expenses are not a small amount. Does the treasury also have to share some of them?"

Xiao Guoer glared at Wan Linglong fiercely. Her husband was about to be divided into hundreds of shares, and she was still thinking about those trivial matters!

Empress Xiao answered seriously, "Although I don't know how much money the royal treasury has, I know that Shufei's father is called the richest man in Dayue, but in fact only half of the business he runs is his, and the other half is actually the emperor, and there are more than one royal merchant under the emperor like your father."

Wan Linglong smiled without saying a word, this was originally an open secret.

Empress Xiao, "Not to mention that the profits of the Royal Bank are also attributed to the inner treasury. The expenses in the palace are not enough to be a drop in the income of the inner treasury. Concubine Shu, are you sure you want to cry with the Ai family to be poor?"

Xiao Guoer screamed, "So the inner treasury is so rich. Then my monthly salary is only 100 taels, which is too little. Wan Linglong, I want to increase my salary!"

Miao Hongxiu: I didn’t say anything even if I was seventy taels~

Wan Linglong ignored Xiao Guoer and said bluntly to Empress Xiao, "My mother, you and Your Majesty are not people who are greedy for pleasure. The expenses in the palace are really nothing. However, in order to popularize civilian education, Your Majesty has to take out a large amount of silver from the inner treasury every year to supplement the construction of the school. I have to make careful calculations."

As she said that, she stood up and bowed, "So I beg my mother to ask her mother that the talent show is OK, but it is not suitable to have a big show. It cannot be done overnight. You might as well choose dozens of people every year to remove the drought and preserve the essence. As long as 10% of them are favored by His Majesty, you will not have to worry about the unrest of their children. This way, the pressure on the inner treasury is less, and it is easier for His Majesty to accept it. What do you think?"

After a moment of silence, Empress Xiao suddenly strodes her hands and smiles, "You Wan Linglong, I have to say that the Ai family was moved by you. No wonder the emperor likes you so much. His relationship has not diminished for more than ten years."

Xiao Guoer quickly retorted, "Brother Emperor obviously likes me the most. We grew up together and have the deepest relationship!"

Wan Linglong and Empress Dowager Xiao smiled at each other, but did not repeat each other.

Miao Hongxiu asked for instructions, "Will the queen mother tell His Majesty about the talent show? Or should we..."

Empress Xiao set up the mahjong plaque, "Don't worry, someone in the court should have told him."

Xiao Guoer showed a witty look, "It must be what my father said, but my brother will definitely refuse!"

Empress Xiao, "I haven't given birth to a child for three years, so what's the face he has to refuse?"

...

In the Tai Chi Hall, on the dragon throne, Hu Lu smiled faintly in the face of the ministers' request to mate the country.

"My dear friends, I would like to ask, why do emperors need princes?" The court was silent, "No one dared to answer, so I'll find an honest person to answer."

As he said that, Hu Lu stood up and looked at the end of the civil service team, "Can my nephew be there?"

The censor and censor leader Yu Shaoyan stood up with the ridiculed eyes of his colleagues.

"I am here."

After Hu Lu took power, Yu Shaoyan, who was in his thirties, stood up with a little frustrated.

But there was no way, who made him have an aunt who was a teenager younger than him, and was even accepted into the palace by the emperor and named a beauty.

Hu Lu, "Shaoyan, answer my uncle's question just now, why do I need a prince?"

Yu Shaoyan took a deep breath and said in a gamble, "Because Your Majesty will die in the end."

hiss!

A needle suddenly fell quietly in the Tai Chi Hall. Yu Shaoyan knew that he must have become the focus of the attention of the ministers now, and some people even wanted to pinch his neck and let him swallow his words.

But he still said with a stingy head on, "If your Majesty has no prince in a hundred years, the court will be in turmoil. If it is serious, the country and the country may collapse."

Hu Lu was not angry, but instead smiled, "That's right, so this matter is very simple. As long as I live forever and sit on this dragon throne forever, will all the problems be solved?"

As he said that, he took out a secret letter from his cuff, which was one of the letters he had harvested from Gugufang this morning...
