Wu Palace, Zide Hall.

At this moment, Qing Ji was reviewing a mountain of memorials!

In this era, because papermaking had not yet been invented, memorials to officials and local officials were written on bamboo slips and submitted to the palace.

Therefore, the bamboo slips one after another were piled up into a hill without knowing it. Qingji estimated that the bamboo slips placed on one side weighed two hundred kilograms!

Fortunately, Ji Zha, as Dazai, was conscientious and had already corrected it earlier. He just asked Qing Ji to take a look at it again and give some comments.

Otherwise, Qingji would be really busy right now!

"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."

At this time, Xiong Zidan, the commander of Su Wei who was originally guarding the entrance of the palace, suddenly entered and reported.

Jiko?

Qingji frowned.

Ji Kou is Qingji's queen and has a distinguished status.

But Ji Kou also has a very sensitive identity - Yue Si, the daughter of Yue Wang Yunchang!

Wu and Yue are still at war, so Ji Kou's presence in Wu Palace has become quite embarrassing.

Of course, Qingji didn't mind Ji Kou's status as a princess of the Yue Kingdom.

He and Ji Kou were in a political marriage, but they were husband and wife after all, and they should have been able to help each other and work together as brothers!

Qing Ji was already kind enough to Ji Kou. At least after he returned to the court from Zuzi Banshi, he visited Ji Kou twice...

"Let her in."

"promise!"

After Xiong Zidan withdrew, not long after, Ji Kou entered the Zide Hall carrying a bowl of soup.

This bowl of soup still exudes a kind of heat, and the aroma is so fragrant that Qingji can't help but put down the brush in his hand and look at it!

Ji Kou still has that kind of unparalleled elegance, but her delicate face has added the aura of a young lady with flowers, and this kind of charming charm is indescribable.

I saw Ji Kou, dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, slowly walking up to Qing Ji with a bowl of soup.

"Queen, is something wrong?"

"Your Majesty has been working very hard on state affairs. I felt very sorry that I could not help you with your worries, so I cooked a bowl of fish soup and asked Your Majesty to taste it to relieve his fatigue."

"The queen is interested."

Qingji chuckled lightly and asked Ji Kou to put the bowl of soup on the table, but Ji Kou had already scooped up a spoonful of soup and wanted to feed Qingji to drink it!

Qingji shook his head, but still opened his mouth and let Ji Kou feed him a spoonful of soup.

He was not worried that Ji Kou would poison the soup. Gein couldn't do such a thing with the latter's temperament, and there was no need.

Furthermore, any meal in the palace, especially the meal that Qingji wants to enjoy, will be tasted by a special palace maid to see if there is any difference before it can be served to Qingji!

This seems quite cumbersome, and sometimes Qingji can only eat leftovers, but this is all helpless!

Sometimes having too many enemies is not necessarily a good thing!

"The taste is very delicious. I didn't expect you to have such cooking skills, Queen!"

Qingji praised it.

"Your Majesty, I praise you. My cooking skills are very average. I am just good at making soup."

Ji Kou lowered his head and replied in a decent manner.

Her speaking voice has a strong Nong accent unique to Jiangnan water towns, as if she is holding glutinous rice in her mouth, sweet but not artificial, leaving people with endless aftertaste.

Listening to Ji Kou talk can sometimes be regarded as a kind of enjoyment!

"Your Majesty, would you like me to rub your shoulders?"

"How can the queen still do this?"

Qingji asked in surprise.

"Understand a little bit."

Hearing this, Qingji simply stretched out his arms, lay on Ji Kou's knees, and let her massage his bones to loosen them.

Ji Kou's technique was quite unfamiliar, and she had obviously just learned it. Her soft, boneless hands pushed Qingji's back gently and gently, which made Qingji quite enjoy it, and he gradually closed his eyes.

Eyes closed.

Taking a break from the busy schedule can actually make people feel happy in many cases.

"Queen, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Qingji glanced at Ji Kou and saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he asked her to say whatever she wanted.

Ji Kou snorted, revealing her white and delicate neck, and said softly: "Your Majesty, just now the imperial doctor went to the palace eunuch Rumeng for treatment."

"Is Rumeng feeling ill?"

"No, your Majesty may not know something. At first, I thought Rumeng was ill, but after the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated her, Rumeng had a happy pulse..."

"..."

Happy pulse?

Qingji was stunned for a moment.

The palace eunuch is the female official with the highest official position in the Wu Palace. The current palace eunuch is Ru Meng, who has been blessed by Qing Ji several times after a long drought.

Now that the royal doctor has actually diagnosed the Ximai pulse, doesn't that mean that if Rumeng is pregnant, the child in her belly is forbidden?

"Now that I know it, let me take care of you like a dream. There must be no mistakes."

"I obey my orders."

As the queen, Ji Kou naturally heard about what happened between Qingji and Rumeng.

However, Ji Kou was not dissatisfied.

Although women are jealous, Ji Kou does not want her husband to have a group of wives and concubines who can give all the love to herself instead of sharing her husband's favor with other women.

However, Qingji is the King of Wu, and he is destined to never have only one woman and one queen in his life!

Ji Kou couldn't help but asked curiously: "Your Majesty, since Rumeng is pregnant, why doesn't your Majesty take advantage of the situation and officially make her a concubine?"

"I have already told Rumeng about this matter, but she refused, so I just let her go."

Qingji respects Rumeng’s choice.

Anyway, there is actually not much difference between female officials and concubines. They are both women who belong to Qingji!

As long as Qingji is willing, a palace maid can visit him anytime and anywhere, and no one else dares to gossip!

However, now that Rumeng is pregnant, Qingji has to worry about his future heir.

It would be fine if Ru Meng gave birth to a daughter, but once a son is born, he will be Qing Ji’s eldest son, the eldest son of a concubine!

According to the patriarchal system since ancient times, establishing direct descendants, establishing elders, establishing virtuous people, and abolishing elders and establishing young ones are the ways to bring disaster.

However, a concubine is a concubine after all, and the status of the eldest son of a concubine cannot be compared to that of a legitimate son!

And if Qing Ji gives birth to a son with Queen Ji Kou, he will be his legitimate son and eldest son!

The other concubines, no matter how old or young, are actually not qualified to compete with the eldest son for the throne.

Of course, unless Qing Ji had the intention of abolishing the elders and establishing the young, or planned to establish the virtuous, this would most likely cause the Wu State to cause trouble and cause civil strife!

"Your Majesty, my concubine heard that your Majesty, you have sent your great minister Bo Xi as an envoy to Wuyuan. I don't know my father... is there any response from the King of Yue?"

Ji Kou asked cautiously.

"The queen's information is quite good."

Qing Ji chuckled lightly, then changed to a comfortable position, continued to lie down, resting his head on Ji Kou's knees, and said: "There is still no news from Wu Yuan. However, your father Wang Yunchang can also be regarded as a first generation

A hero, as the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero!"
