In October of the eleventh year of Emperor Chongming, inside the Wuying Hall in the Imperial City.

It was the beginning of winter, and Emperor Chongming was sitting cross-legged on the Kang, holding a memorial in his hand, looking relaxed, and seemed to be in a very good mood.

The matter in the Beijing camp has come to an end, and the missing soldiers have been replenished. The former Jia Yun petitioned to replace Feng Ji, the governor of Yang Wei camp, and replaced him with Chen Ruiwen, the grandson of Chen Yi, Duke of Qi. This matter did not cause any disturbance.

Emperor Chongming was very satisfied with Jia Yun's performance, which had already met his expectations. Judging from the replacement of a governor, Jia Yun had initially taken control of the Beijing camp, and the attitude of the Wu Xun lineage had gradually moved closer to him. Over time, , Emperor Chongming will naturally be able to conquer the Wu Xun lineage. If the matter in Beijing camp is resolved, Emperor Chongming's heart will also be settled.

When Emperor Chongming was handling government affairs, he was wearing a green crown with dragons, phoenixes, and pearls, a red long-sleeved coat, a Xia pei, a red Luo long skirt, a red trousers, a special bun with dragons and phoenixes on the headdress, and woven embroidery on the clothes. A woman in palace clothes with golden dragon and phoenix patterns walked in.

After the woman entered the palace, she bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongming saw the person in front of him and said with a smile: "Why is the queen here?"

This woman in palace attire is the mother of the country of the Qian Dynasty and the current queen. The queen's surname is Du. She was originally from a family of officials from other provinces and has no background in Beijing.

Although Empress Du is over thirty years old, her skin is still as good as snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she looks around, she has an elegant and noble temperament.

"My concubine heard that the emperor stayed up late for two consecutive days to deal with government affairs. She was worried and came here to serve him."

Queen Du's voice was as gentle as water. After hearing this, Emperor Chongming couldn't help but feel relieved and said with a smile: "How can the Queen say such serious words? It's just that the government affairs were handled a little late, so it won't be in the way."

With that said, Emperor Chongming asked Queen Du to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, Queen Du said with concern: "Your Majesty is the king of the country, and all the subjects of the country are tied to your Majesty. I hope that your Majesty will pay more attention to your body and don't worry about it."

Emperor Chongming heard this and said casually: "Government affairs are busy and must be dealt with."

When Empress Du saw this, she stopped talking. She only needed to say one or two words of persuasion. If she spoke too much, she would inevitably be disliked by others. After all, she knew the person next to her very well. Her husband was a diligent king. Don't say that. Her persuasion as a queen was useless, and even the persuasion of the old concubine whom Emperor Chongming respected had no effect.

But having said that, you still have to say one or two words of persuasion, which also shows that your attitude is not right.

Empress Du signaled to the maid at the side, who came forward with a golden bowl with lotus petals. Empress Du said: "Your Majesty, this is the Tremella lotus seed soup cooked by my concubine. It clears away heat and strengthens the stomach. Your Majesty, please drink some while it's hot. !”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongming put down the memorial in his hand and said with a smile: "Well, since the queen cooked it herself, I will try it."

When Empress Du heard Emperor Chongming's words, she suddenly smiled like a flower. She said, "What daughter doesn't like her husband's preference for her? Even if it is a sweet word, it is heartwarming."

So Queen Du personally took the golden bowl handed over by the palace maid and served Emperor Chongming to eat.

After Emperor Chongming drank the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup happily, he took the silk handkerchief handed over by Queen Du, wiped his mouth, and said casually: "How is Sheng'er?"

Sheng'er's name was Zhao Sheng, the second son of Emperor Chongming and the son of Queen Du.

Queen Du's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she turned to say with a worried look: "Sheng'er is fine, but it's just that there is no princess in the palace."

Emperor Chongming fell silent after hearing this. Princess Zhao Sheng died in childbirth, so now the palace is missing a princess. As Zhao Sheng's mother, it is reasonable for Queen Du to be concerned about this matter.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Chongming said: "The queen is right. The palace cannot be without a princess. Let's do this. The queen will pay attention to which family's daughter is suitable. She can decide on it early so that she can preside over the affairs of the palace."

Empress Du was happy to see that Emperor Chongming cared about Zhao Sheng. Although she was a queen, the princes were all her sons, but there was naturally a gap between the biological ones and the foster ones.

After a deep groan, Empress Du said: "I've taken a fancy to you, and I'm thinking of asking Your Majesty to make the decision!!"

After listening to Queen Du's words, Emperor Chongming's eyes narrowed, but his face did not change. He asked: "Which family's daughter fell in the Queen's eyes?"

Empress Du glanced at Emperor Chongming carefully and replied: "Your Majesty, she is the female official next to my grandmother, the daughter of the Jia family. She is virtuous and virtuous, and has good conduct. Although she is a few years older than Sheng'er, it is not a big deal. Careful.

Generally speaking, it suits Sheng'er."

In ancient times, it was common for daughters to be several years older than men. As daughters were older, they could take care of their husbands more carefully, right?

After Empress Du finished speaking, she carefully waited for Emperor Chongming's reply. Seeing that Emperor Chongming's face was fine, she felt relieved.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Chongming said calmly: "The daughter of the Jia family is very popular with my grandmother. It's hard for me to talk to my grandmother. You go back first and let me think about it."

Seeing Emperor Chongming say this, Empress Du responded: "Yes..."

Immediately, Empress Du stood up and left calmly.

Emperor Chongming looked at Queen Du's leaving figure with a slightly complicated look, and he also understood Queen Du's thoughts.

After all, the crown prince has not yet been decided. Even if Zhao Sheng is the legitimate son, things in the world are unpredictable, so he naturally needs to take precautions. If Zhao Sheng can get another powerful in-law, his status will be more stable.

Originally, the Jia family was the home of the top dignitaries of the Qian Dynasty. Although it has been a lot lonely in recent decades, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the power of the Duke's Palace is still there. If not, Emperor Chongming would not support the Jia family.

.

After Jia Yun came to Beijing, he was deeply favored by the Holy Spirit. He was promoted from a small sixth-grade Qianzong to the current Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp. He holds the military power of the Beijing Camp and is already in a high position of authority.

And not only that, Jia Yun now has the potential to be the leader of the younger generation of Wu Xun. Judging from the current situation, in a few years, Wu Xun will be headed by him. Such a giant, if they become in-laws

, it is a great help to the prince. Which prince would not be tempted?

After thinking about it carefully, Emperor Chongming felt that Empress Du's idea seemed to be a good one. Now that Jia Yun is a member of Emperor Chongming, it is good, but Jia Yun is about to become the son-in-law of the Supreme Emperor. It is really hard to predict what will happen in the future. If the prince becomes an in-law of the Jia family,

, can also stabilize Jia Yun's mind.

However, Emperor Chongming also understood that Jia Yun had no intention of becoming a consort, so becoming the consort this time was a helpless move. After all, Jia Yun had made it clear that he did not want to become the consort.

If the prince is allowed to marry a daughter of the Jia family at this time, it will easily affect Jia Yun's errands. Rather than doing so, it is better to give up, but plan ahead and wait until the situation becomes clearer in the future before worrying about accepting Jia Yun's heart. Compared with the prince marrying a daughter of the Jia family,

It seems that the effect of the emperor accepting her as a concubine would be better...
