Face

"Since Princess Huaiping wants to see it, then go and see it."

Chen Quan was actually a very generous person before he became emperor.

"Just let Eunuch Deng take you there. I just happened to help your aunt pick out some good things. If you see something you like, just take it and my uncle will reward you."

Deng Wuwei, who was still hunched over waiting to speak, calmly glanced at the little girl sitting at Queen Shen's feet. It turned out that Deng Wuwei had made mistakes sometimes, and the Princess of Huaiping was really not as stupid as he thought.

It looks like this guy is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!

"Thank you, uncle."

Lu Shege thanked her and was not in a hurry to see the emperor's private treasury. She asked Empress Shen, "Aunt, do you have a private treasury? I also want to see my aunt's private treasury."

Empress Shen smiled and shook her head: "No, my aunt is not as rich as your uncle."

Although it is a joke, it is true.

Lu Xiangge pouted and was dissatisfied: "Why doesn't my aunt have a private treasury? Isn't my aunt a queen?"

Queen Shen murmured softly: "Silly boy, although my aunt is a queen, it doesn't mean that all queens are rich. Without money and treasures, what's the use of a private treasury? Is it just sitting there gathering ashes?"

Lu Xiangge's curiosity became more and more intense: "Is it true that only my uncle has a private treasury in the palace?"

Of course Queen Shen knew it well: "In the palace, except for your uncle who has a private treasury, Concubine Zhou also has a private treasury, but the other concubines do not."

When Zhou Guifei followed Chen Quan to capture the capital, she got a lot of good things and had her own private treasury.

Because of this, Concubine Zhou often showed off in front of Empress Shen and all the concubines.

Because in the entire palace, not even the queen has as much money as she does. Not to mention the private treasury, even the things that the queen takes out to reward people on weekdays are just ordinary and inconspicuous small items, nothing expensive.

And Concubine Zhou's life was more prosperous than that of Empress Shen. It was also because of this private treasury that even Concubine Zhou's natal family benefited a lot.

In the palace, because the concubine was richer than the queen, many concubines respected Empress Shen on the surface, but behind their backs they were involved with Concubine Zhou.

Coupled with Chen Quan's partiality in the past few years, Concubine Zhou was allowed to walk sideways in the harem.

And the Zhou family is more noble than the Shen family in the capital.

"Aunt, how can you not have a private treasury when you are the queen of a country?" Lu Xiangge was unhappy, "You are the queen of a country. It would be so shameless to say that you don't even have a private treasury."

"Face is earned by oneself. Face does not come from having a private treasury." Empress Shen has a kind of indifference after going through many hardships.

"Yes, the queen is right." Chen Quan was still thinking about how he should refuse if Lu Xiangge proposed to divide his private treasury into two parts and give them to Shen.

"That's because my aunt has a good temper. I definitely can't do it with me. I just don't have what others don't have. I definitely want to have what others have. It's better to avoid her."

Lu Xiangge looked arrogant and continued: "When my uncle digs out the treasures of my Lu family, how about setting up some private treasury for my aunt? I don't want my aunt to be inferior to a noble concubine, so I can tell others for nothing. It’s a joke that our Shen family is poor.”

Who are you kidding?

Deng Wuwei grinned silently. This was not a joke to the Shen family. Queen Shen was the queen of the Chen family.

However, before the treasure was dug, he was thinking of allocating a private treasury to Queen Shen. No wonder Princess Shen of Huaiping could win the favor of Queen Shen.

After all, it is my family who protects my family, and every word is focused on the back, but it does not make people feel bored.

As for Chen Quan, did he hear Lu Shege asking how he was?

I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart. I still don't know where this treasure is. I'm going to let some of this treasure go out.

She said that the Lu family's treasures were placed there, just waiting for him to pick them up.

Chen Quan couldn't help but swallowed and spit, not knowing how to reply.

Say yes?

Your daughter-in-law is still a queen, and she has to rely on the treasures of her niece's family to build a private treasury. This is good, Chen Quan can't say it no matter what.

Not sure?

Chen Quan couldn't even say these words.

After all, he is an emperor and wants face.

Lu Sheige was willing to give up his treasure to his uncle, but his uncle was reluctant to give up his private treasury. This emperor was too stingy.

Empress Shen smiled and said, "What kind of private treasury does my aunt want? Those gold, silver and jewels that I carry with me whether I live or die, are just false reputations. As long as Your Majesty and you brothers and sisters are good to each other, I will have no regrets even if I close my eyes now." "

There was a sense of indifference in her words, as if there was nothing in her life that she cared about except the emperor and her son, and now that there was one more person named Xiangge.

Chen Quan was moved after hearing this, and thought of the Queen's natal Shen family. The Queen's father and brother are gone, and the Shen family has only two nephews to support the facade. According to convention, at least one of the two nephews of the Shen family should be in a high official position. This will ensure the prosperity of the Shen family.

Shen Zhenghai was originally in the Ministry of Personnel, but he was just a fifth-rank official. Because he was from the Shen family, no one dared to offend him and no one dared to re-employ him. He had been working as a sinecure in the Ministry of Personnel. King Qin moved out of the palace a few days ago. The government has taken Shen Zhenghai away, and now he is going to work for the King of Qin. But his official position has not changed, and he is still a fifth-grade petty official.

Shen Zhenghe was assigned to the Ministry of Rites, and was also a fifth-rank clerk. He went there at midnight every morning and went home early. He didn't even have any friends to go out and drink with him.

It was because he didn't care about the Shen family, and it was also because after Shen was named empress, he didn't seek any benefits for the Shen family.

Thinking of the Shen family, Chen Quan felt a little sorry for Queen Shen. He, the queen, really only served the Chen family and had no selfish motives at all.

"My uncle and aunt will definitely live a long life." Lu Xiangge hugged Empress Shen's arm and shook it gently, "When my uncle digs out the ancient tomb in Dayun Mountain later, my aunt will have money to save in her private treasury."

Ancient tomb?

Chen Quan was startled by these two words. He glanced at Deng Wuwei silently. After Deng Wuwei quietly retreated to the door, he asked: "What ancient tomb? Didn't you say you don't know about the Lu family's treasures?" ?”

Lu Sheige looked innocent: "The ancient tomb is not a treasure. My father once told us stories with our brothers and sisters that there is an ancient tomb of King Liu under Dayun Mountain, but he didn't tell me that it was the treasure of the Lu family. ah!"

Chen Quan couldn't help but clenched his fists, ancient tombs and treasures.

Could it be that the legendary treasure of the Lu family is this ancient tomb?

Chen Quan wanted to ask more questions, but was afraid of appearing too eager, so he could only look at Empress Shen for help, hoping that she would ask.

Empress Shen glanced at the emperor and nodded slightly.

Empress Shen gently touched Lu Shengge's little hand and asked softly: "Shengge, are you really willing to let your uncle dig up your Lu family's treasures?"

"Why do you call me the treasure of the Lu family?"

Lu Xiuge retorted righteously, "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers are on the shore of the land. This treasure should originally belong to my uncle and aunt, and my uncle and aunt are the emperor and empress!"
