When Chao Yong and Hu Sanniang came out, they saw Xiao Qing standing there.
Before Hu Sanniang could speak, Xiao Qing said, "When I heard the young lady's cry, I knew the prince was back."
When Hu Sanniang heard what Xiao Qing said, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment. She glared at Xiao Qing and said, "You little girl, you dare to laugh at me now."
Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss, I used to say that I screamed loudly. My scream just now was not quiet either."
Chao Yong hugged Hu Sanniang and said with a smile: "It's okay, husband, help you, and ask Xiaoqing to scream louder."
When Xiao Qing heard this, she couldn't help but said dissatisfiedly: "Bad husband, help the lady to bully me."
However, Hu Sanniang didn't mean to be jealous at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Husband, you must let this little girl know how powerful she is."
Chao Yong looked at the food served by the palace maid. There were only four or five dishes, which were the same as when he was in Liangshan.
He knew Hu Sanniang's temperament. I'm afraid the first time had been richly arranged, but after today, it would be like this at best.
"Is the house still unable to make ends meet?"
Hu Sanniang nodded and said: "Now the crown prince has nearly ten thousand maids alone..."
Chao Yong interrupted Hu Sanniang's words and said dumbfounded: "How much?"
"The emperor also sent all the maids from the palace here two days ago. Including the original maids from Yanfu Palace, there are nearly ten thousand people."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Zhao Ji, a foolish king, will enjoy it."
Xiao Qing said, "What does it mean that my father has sent so many maids here without giving them any money?"
Hu Sanniang glared at Xiaoqing and said, "Don't criticize my father."
Xiao Qing has also learned a lot of palace rules in the past few days, and she hurriedly shut her mouth when she heard this.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "The emperor is still your father, there is no need to be so outspoken."
Xiao Qing hugged Chao Yong's arm and said, "Prince, what do you mean by the emperor?"
Chao Yong thought for a while and guessed what Chao Gai meant. He probably wanted to choose some young and beautiful people to stay so that he could expand the branches of the Chao family, otherwise he would send them out of the palace directly.
Why send it to yourself and then let yourself send it out.
Of course Chao Yong would not tell his guess, and said with a smile: "Perhaps my father is busy with political affairs, so he left this trivial matter to me. Let all those who want to leave the palace tomorrow, and each person will be given a subsidy of ten coins, and the remaining
I’ll go back and choose some later.”
Hu Sanniang frowned and said, "Ten guan for each person is not much, but the prince* plus his previous savings are only over 15,000 guan, so I'm afraid it won't be enough to send them away."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I will ask my father for the severance pay when the time comes. How many eunuchs are there?"
Hu Sanniang said: "There are fewer eunuchs, but there are still more than four thousand."
Chao Yong said speechlessly: "The eunuchs also follow the same rules. Those who want to leave the palace are allowed to leave."
Xiao Qing blinked at Chao Yong and said with a smile: "Where are those concubines?"
Chao Yong said without hesitation: "Everything will be handled accordingly."
Xiao Qing said with a smile: "Husband, why don't you take a look? When we first came here, they all came to visit the young ladies. They are all charming beauties."
Chao Yong looked at Hu Sanniang, who still had a lazy look on his face, and said with a smile: "No, Sanniang is here, who dares to call her beautiful."
When Hu Sanniang heard what Chao Yong said, she felt sweet in her heart. She looked at Chao Yong and smiled and said, "I don't dare to be a slave. Many of those women are prettier than me."
Chao Yong hugged Sanniang and said with a smile: "Sanniang will always be the most beautiful in my eyes."
Xiaoqing clapped her hands and said: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Miss, you don't have to worry now."
Seeing that Xiao Qing had revealed her thoughts, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but flushed. She glared at Xiao Qing and said, "When did I get worried?"
Chao Yong held Sanniang in his arms and said to Xiao Qing: "Sanniang is the royal wife. If she gives birth to a son, she will be the prince in the future. What is she worried about? Is she worried about you? I will have countless concubines in the future. I am afraid that I will forget you by then.
Already."
Hu Sanniang knew what Chao Yong was like, and no matter how many women there were, they would never forget her. Chao Yong would spend the first night in her room every time he came back from an outing, and then go to the little Qing room, even if she was pregnant and could not serve Chao Yong.
This is the case, so she is not worried about falling out of favor.
But after arriving in Tokyo, she saw many beauties waiting for Chao Yong's arrival, and Queen He's orders, which made her worry about the future of her children. The pace of Daliang's domination of the world was unstoppable, and it became urgent for the royal family to spread its branches.
Chao Gai was no longer prepared to accept concubines, but he gave Chao Yong many women. He also came to tell Hu Sanniang about this, hoping that Chao Yong could have more children.
Even if Hu Sanniang agreed that He would not dote exclusively on him, Hu Sanniang was not afraid of Chao Yong doting on other women, but was afraid that other women would give birth to the first imperial grandson for Daliang.
Based on the emperor's and empress's eager expectations for their grandson, one can imagine how much favor the first grandson will receive. In addition, many dynasties have the tradition of the eldest son inheriting the throne. Hu Sanniang was worried that the first prince would become the future prince.
Although Hu Sanniang didn't want to be exclusively favored, she did want her child to become the future prince and inherit the empire established by Chao Yong. What's more, when others become princes, they may also regard her children as a threat.
Although Hu Sanniang came from a martial arts background, she had also heard many stories of cruel battles in the palace, and was very worried about this.
Now that she heard Chao Yong promise that she would be the crown prince after giving birth to a son, she immediately hugged Chao Yong and said, "My husband is really good to my family."
Chao Yong saw Hu Sanniang relaxed a lot and said with a smile: "Sanniang is not worried about who will be my prince, right?"
Hu Sanniang glanced at Chao Yong charmingly and said: "My family has nothing else to ask for, but we have to consider our children."
Chao Yong looked at Hu Sanniang's gentle and charming look and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her. Hu Sanniang also responded emotionally.
Xiao Qing watched for a while and saw that the two of them didn't seem to be separated, so she couldn't help but said: "The food is cold, husband, do you want to eat the lady's saliva to satisfy your hunger?"
After hearing this, Hu Sanniang struggled to escape from Chao Yong's tiger's mouth, panting and saying: "My husband hasn't eaten yet."
Chao Yong stared at Hu Sanniang and said, "Sanniang, don't worry, the prince must be our son."
Hu Sanniang nodded and said, "The slave family believes in my husband."
Chao Yong suddenly smiled evilly and said: "But Sanniang has to work harder and give birth to more sons. If the eldest son is not successful, we can still choose the ones behind him."
Hu Sanniang smiled and said: "I would like to have children for my husband."
Xiao Qing said: "Then the prince will have to stay in the young lady's room more often, so that the young lady can give birth to a son."
Chao Yong pinched Xiaoqing's cheek and said with a smile: "Little girl, I'd better help your young lady to speak."
Xiao Qing wrinkled her nose and said: "My husband will have so many concubines in the future, so naturally I have to help my young lady."
"Then you can stay here tonight and help your lady take care of me." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
