The imperial concubine said nothing, but she felt so arrogant that she left her husband and went to the bedroom alone.

Wanli was confused and asked the palace servants after the imperial concubine left. Only then did he realize that the empress dowager was scolding her and frowned.

A few days ago, Ye Xianggao secretly revealed that the emperor had not allowed King Fu to return to the vassal state after the New Year, and rumors were rumored in the capital.

There are even alarmist people who say that there is a major change in the palace and that King Fu will replace the prince as the emperor. He has ordered the Jinyiwei to strictly investigate the source of this rumor, but in the end, it will be cured but not the root cause. If the rumors do not continue, the only way is to return the Fu King to the vassal state to quickly.

This incident made Wanli very unhappy. Last year, he told Ye Xianggao that he would call King Fu to be a vassal after the Empress Dowager's birthday. Ye Xianggao couldn't wait and insisted on bringing up the old things again. He also said something about folk rumors, but he was taking the opportunity to force him.

He was in vain to make up for the affairs of the cabinet ministers, and asked Wei Liangchen to release the teachers and students of Donglin Academy. Now it seems that the Fuqing Gong is making more and more demanding. It is clear that he, the emperor, is a master, has no trust.

Wanli was very angry. It was just Ye Xiang who fell down. Now the empress dowager is also urging him and scolding the imperial concubine. It seems that the empress dowager has prejudice against the fact that the Fu King is just a vassal.

He has always been filial and will definitely not make the Empress Dowager unhappy, so he sighed in his heart, knowing that he would not be able to keep the third brother.

But how do you explain to the imperial concubine?

Wanli arrived at the bedroom nervously and saw the imperial concubine leaning against the window railing, quite lonely. When he approached, he saw that there were tears in the corner of the imperial concubine's eyes.

"You are wronged, don't get angry."

Wanli sat next to the concubine with heartache, and then gently placed one hand on the concubine's shoulder.

"I have no grievances. Since ancient times, there is no reason why my daughter-in-law is angry with her mother-in-law." The imperial concubine turned sideways and refused to pay attention to her husband.

Wanli didn't dare to talk about the Empress Dowager too much, and hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but whisper in the ear of the imperial concubine: "Why would you let the third brother go out of the capital to avoid you from being angry."

Upon hearing this, the imperial concubine trembled, turned around to look at her husband and said unhappy: "I have agreed to make things happen in winter, why do you need to change again... Can you be an emperor have some opinions?"

Wanli smiled bitterly: "How many months are there to be less, what's the point?"

"Do you really want Chang Xun to leave?" The imperial concubine stared at her husband.

Wanli didn't say anything.

The corners of the imperial concubine's eyes suddenly turned red again, and she cried and said, "Since Chang Xun was born, why did you have your father? It's only a pain for me. I asked people to point fingers every day and say I'm fine. You know, but what did Chang Xun do wrong? They are all your sons, why are one loyal and the other traitor?"

"I can't give him the throne, so I'll just make up for it." Wanli sighed. Even if he is a legitimate wife, even if he is an emperor, he can't move.

The imperial concubine also knew that since the empress dowager had spoken, Chang Xun would definitely not be able to stay in the capital, but she was reluctant to let it go. But now that things had come to this point, she could not stop it, so she said to her husband: "When did you count on your words? The previous imperial farm was cut by half. Chang Xun did some business in the capital to make some money to supplement his livelihood. The foreign court said that he bullied the market. Your father didn't make decisions for his son, but he stopped...

You said, what can you make up for him? I'm afraid that if you really make up for him, you still call him to be killed by the outside court. Yu Qi always called Chang Xun a bad reputation. It would be better if you don't give him anything, just ask him to stay in Luoyang for a long time. What's the point of eating? You can't starve to death..."

Speaking of these, the imperial concubine was really full of complaints.

Wanli was also speechless. He knew that the imperial concubine was talking about the truth. He really couldn't subsidize Chang Xun because the outer court could not pass.

He could only say: "If there is one in the inner treasury, I will give it to him. Chang Xun is my flesh and blood, how could it be like you said?"

"What's in the inner treasury?" The imperial concubine gave her husband a blank look, "You are still owing money to others as the emperor."

Wanli coughed lightly, and the imperial concubine must have said that he and Wei Liangchen had borrowed 100,000 taels of silver.

But where can I use this money?

Do you really need to pay back the money borrowed by the emperor?

As long as Wei Liangchen has a conscience, he should know that he can have today, which is all the gifts of the emperor. Without saying anything else, he spoke to the emperor, and Wei Liangchen cannot ask for this money.

"What do you think of? As long as I can do it, I will allow you."

Wanli still wanted to do his best to make Chang Xun live better in Luoyang, and to make his beloved concubine feel better, and at the same time, he could feel less guilty in his heart.

The imperial concubine seemed to have been considering this matter for a long time, and she said, "I have been thinking about this matter and I know I can't make you embarrassed. So, why don't you give all the money from Liangchen to Chang Xun in the future."

Wanli was stunned after hearing this, and then shook his head: "He has no money, and the maritime affairs have not started."

The imperial concubine snorted: "Do you think I don't know about Nandu?"

Wanli smirked: "There is no sign of this matter. Even if I pretend to be unable to see it, Wei Liangchen may not be able to make much money. My beloved concubine doesn't know what she is. The people in Nandu are cunning, and sometimes I can't do anything to them."

"All people die, this matter cannot be good. Xiao Wei is kind-hearted. I take it seriously if you don't take it seriously. How could the matter in the mine become his Xu family? This is your money. If he wants it back for you, you have to support him. No matter how fierce the people in Nandu shouted, you can't hold Xiao Wei down and beat the board."

Seeing that the imperial concubine knew so much, Wanli knew that it must be Jin Zhong told him, so he smiled and said, "Didn't I hand him the oral order?"

The imperial concubine shook her head slightly: "To put it bluntly, Xiao Wei is more courageous than you, the emperor."

Wanli laughed: "I am the emperor, how can I do things like him?" Then he nodded, "Okay, if the good ministers can really gain something in the south this time, I will give it to Chang Xun."

The imperial concubine asked afterwards: "Where is the maritime affairs?"

Wanli suddenly looked frowning: "My good concubine, can I live with you?"

The imperial concubine said angrily: "Anyway, maritime affairs really have to make a lot of money, you can't forget Chang Xun."

Wanli smiled and responded naturally.

He knew very well that maritime affairs would definitely make a lot of money, because Siming's husband Shen Yiguan is the most skilled person, and even he had to get a kick, so he could think of maritime affairs.

I just don’t know how prepared it is in Zhejiang. Can Wei Liangchen compete with Shen Yiguan? Don’t work for a long time in vain and get the best of Siming’s husband.

"How did that child in Shouning grow up?" Wanli asked his grandson.

"It's only been so many days, what can you look like." Thinking of her daughter and grandson, the concubine's face suddenly became kind, "The little guy is very cute."

Wanli asked, "Like a daughter or a prince consort?"

"Of course I look like our daughter. How beautiful would it be if I look like the prince consort..." The imperial concubine said this, thinking of something, she wanted to say something but stopped, but she didn't say anything.

"What?" Wanli said in confusion.

"nothing."

The imperial concubine shook her head, she didn't dare to tell her husband about this.

Because, no matter how she looked at the child, she looked familiar, as if that... Wei Liangchen...

Last year, Wei Liangchen often went to Shouning in Beijing, and at that time, his son-in-law Ran Xingrang reflected in the Imperial College and was pregnant for ten months. This date was the same as the year. What’s more important is that Wei Liangchen is not a real eunuch…

The imperial concubine dared not think deeply. If a scandal really arises, the royal family will lose all their faces, and her face will lose even more. Her husband may know that something will happen.
