Iron Dynasty

What the queen mother said is that both Luluo and Shiwan are sensible girls, and they are perfect for serving the emperor.

Qian Dafu still liked Luluo and Aster very much, but this order from the Empress Dowager made him quite satisfied.

Xiao Ming naturally had no reason to refuse. He said, Since that's the case, I will issue a decree to confer Aster and Luluo as nobles.

The Empress Dowager nodded, and he said to Xiao Ming: You have to talk to the Empress about this matter, so that the Empress will not feel uncomfortable. After all, the Empress is the master of the Six Palaces. Whether the Six Palaces will be harmonious in the future will depend on the Empress. .

Yes, concubine, Xiao Ming said.

The two talked again, and Xiao Ming left the Hall of Kindness and went straight back to the bedroom.

At this time, Feiyue was feeding the fish in the pond on the stone bridge accompanied by Xiaohuan.

Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Fei Yue'er was about to salute. Xiao Ming immediately supported her and said, The queen is already eight months pregnant, so you don't need to care about these false salutes now.

Since she became pregnant, Fei Yue'er has been able to eat a lot more than before, and the food in this pantry is always not enough.

Now that the dining room is proficient in cooking, Xiao Ming naturally moved various modern dishes to the dining room.

It can be said that Fei Yue'er will never eat the same thing every day.

Fei Yue'er had a smile on her face. Since she came to Qingzhou, Xiao Ming has always treated him with respect and caring. As a woman, being able to receive such care, her heart is naturally full of joy, and she is more and more identified with Xiao Ming.

Lightly stopping Xiao Ming's arm, Fei Yue'er asked, The emperor must have something to do with his concubine at this time, right? The emperor is usually in the imperial study at this time.

After a pause, Fei Yue'er blinked her eyes. She was smart and quickly thought of a possibility, so she asked, Your Majesty, isn't it about Cui Xue'er's entry into the palace?

Empress is clever, I just came back from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother mentioned this to me and said that Cui Xue'er should also be brought into the palace.

Fei Yue'er's expression did not change. In her opinion, it was normal to buy some concubines for Xiao Ming. There are four or five concubines in the family of these court officials, not to mention that Xiao Ming is the monarch of a country. But I want to meet this little sister Xueer, I heard that Cui Xueer was born with fair skin and beautiful skin, and she is also a little beauty, with her company, the concubine will not be bored.

Nodding his head, Xiao Ming continued: Apart from this matter of Cui Xueer, the mother concubine asked me to confer Luluo and Ziwan as nobles. I wonder what the queen thinks?

Green dill and aster?

Fei Yue'er repeated a sentence with a smile on the corner of her mouth. She had long known the relationship between Xiao Ming and the two, so she did not treat the two as maids on weekdays. She vaguely guessed that today would come, so he said: Luluo and Aster is loyal to the emperor, and both of them are cold-hearted. They also take care of some government affairs for the emperor. They are two virtuous internal assistants. The concubine has long intended to let them serve the emperor. Say it again.

Xiao Ming carefully observed Fei Yue'er's expression. Xiao Ming could not see any strange emotions on her face. It seemed that she was already prepared for all this.

Since he came from modern times, Xiao Ming could only experience the horror of feudal ethics at this time. This kind of thinking made ancient women just become vassals of men.

Your Majesty, what are you thinking? Fei Yue'er asked when Xiao Ming was a little stunned.

When he came back to his senses, Xiao Ming asked, Empress, are you really not feeling any discomfort in your heart?

Why should my concubine feel uncomfortable? If this thought arises in my heart, wouldn't my concubine become a jealous woman. Fei Yue'er said with a smile, and she continued; My concubine has read some books given by His Highness, There are also some novel ideas in this book, but in the opinion of the concubine, some of them are not suitable for the Great Yu Kingdom.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming showed an interested look, but he forgot that Fei Yue'er was also a woman. It is better to know the reading experience of his books through her than to guess the thoughts of other ministers.

Empress, why don't you talk to me. While speaking, Xiao Ming helped Fei Yue'er to sit down in the pavilion.

Fei Yue'er said first: One of the emperors must have doubts because of this monogamy, right?

Xiao Ming nodded.

The emperor said that the ideas of some books came from Western countries, so in the eyes of the ministers and concubines, this kind of thinking is not in line with the current situation of the Great Yu Kingdom. The number of men in the Great Yu Kingdom has dropped sharply after years of wars, and the number of women has exceeded the number of men because they did not participate in the war. , After this war, the population in the north has dropped sharply, if the emperor wants to recuperate, he must need more children to restore the population, if so, why should the emperor change the previous customs. Fei Yue said.

Xiao Ming nodded, The queen does not seem to have just tasted it, but read these books deeply. I also think so. The decree should be formulated according to the current situation of the Great Yu Kingdom, not copying the model of other countries.

Fei Yue'er laughed, The emperor already has something in his heart, but the concubine is showing ugliness.

The Queen's words are different. As long as the Queen can understand my painstaking efforts, I will feel at ease. Xiao Ming said.

As a person with modern thinking, he and the ancients sometimes have nothing in common. If Fei Yue can accept modern values, he really has someone to talk to.

Fei Yue'er also listened to Yu Ming's story, and knew that Xiao Ming was inspired by this matter, she said: The emperor's ideas are different from ordinary people, but they are often beneficial to the Great Yu Kingdom. Many ministers have a simple vision and see If there is no long-term benefit, why should the emperor care about the opinions of these ministers at this time, just do what he thinks.

Xiao Ming became more and more happy in his heart, and Fei Yue'er understood him more and more.

Fei Yue'er had a shallow smile on her face, and she was very happy to be able to solve Xiao Ming's problems.

The two chatted for a while, and it was getting late. At this time, Luluo and Aster came back from outside together.

Now the division of labor between the two is very clear. One is in charge of the theater and the other is in charge of the textile industry.

Seeing the two, Fei Yue recruited Luluo and Aster to come over.

Of course, she needs to speak up for this canonization matter, after all, it is related to the harmonious relationship in the future.

See Your Majesty, Empress Empress.

Luluo and Ziwan were full of smiles. Now they are busy, and Xiao Ming is also busy, but he hasn't seen Xiao Ming for a while, so he is naturally happy to see Xiao Ming at this time.

Fei Yue'er asked the two of them to avoid the ceremony and said, In the future, you can call me sister Ben Gong. The queen mother has already made a will. From today, the two of you will be nobles.

Aster and Luluo suddenly looked shocked.
