After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

The next day, I waited for the court.

As Chu Huanyan expected, the matter in the imperial study room had already spread among the courtiers.

"The Emperor loves the Queen so much. If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of rumors." One of the courtiers sighed and spoke.

"There are already a lot of rumors, and I heard that since returning to the palace, the emperor has been very concerned about the queen's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he can't wait to take care of it himself."

"What are you talking about? The emperor is the king of a country, so how can he take care of the basic necessities of life?"

"Oh, I'm afraid it's true. After entering the palace just now, I heard two palace people talking on the road, saying that... the emperor personally took off the queen's shoes and socks and served the queen's feet!"

"What? Mr. Lin, don't say such nonsense!"

"I also heard the palace people talking about it, but there is no smoke without fire!"

The officials who were waiting for the court were gathered together. Although the voice of the words was low, everyone still heard it, and many people's faces became very ugly.

"Prime Minister, what should we do? The emperor is the king of a country, how could he..." An official walked up to Liu Changhan with a heartbroken expression.

Liu Changhan's eyebrows were equally solemn, "The emperor already warned us yesterday that we are not allowed to interfere in this matter."

"Having said that, how can the harem and the court be really separated? Moreover, the emperor favors the empress so much, so what about the selection of concubines after the new emperor ascends the throne..."

Before the official finished speaking, it was time for the morning court. After hearing the announcement, the courtiers quickly entered the palace in silence.

In the Jinluan Hall, Xiao Jinzhi was sitting on the dragon chair, while the courtiers below were all silent on the face, but they had different thoughts in their hearts.

As the government affairs were discussed one by one, the morning court was coming to an end, and at this moment, the courtier who had mentioned the harem to Liu Changhan outside the palace finally gritted his teeth and walked out.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"explain."

"Although the emperor has just returned to the imperial city, if you carefully calculate it, it has been a long time since he ascended the throne, and now the harem is empty..."

Just when he was about to say the words "the harem is empty", there were gasps from among the courtiers.

Who doesn't know that the Empress is so favored now, and when she mentions the emptiness of the harem at this time, isn't it because she wants to touch the Empress' brow?

Hearing the sound of gasping, the courtier who spoke felt his heart tremble, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to say the next words.

"Your Majesty, the humble minister is bold and asks the Emperor to choose concubines to fill the harem and spread the branches of the royal family."

As the words fell, the official knelt down.

Everyone looked at this situation, and although some wanted to echo it, they still held back when they saw Xiao Jinzhi's cold gaze and chose to wait and see first.

The kneeling courtier didn't hear Xiao Jin scolding him, and he became a little bolder.

"Your Majesty, I know that you and the Empress have a deep relationship, but the selection of the concubine is related to the royal blood. As the lord of the middle palace, the Empress will definitely put the overall situation first."

"What Mr. Wang said makes sense." Xiao Jinzhi said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zixin, who was kneeling on the ground, felt happy, while others looked surprised.

Your Majesty, could it be that you also want to choose a concubine? If so, that would be great!

"The fact that the emperor thinks so is really a blessing for us, humble ministers..."

"Lord Wang, there is no need to be excited." Xiao Jinzhi interrupted the other party, "It is understandable that Lord Wang attaches great importance to blood. Naturally, I will not blame you. For the sake of your loyalty and dedication to the government, I grant you a special permission. Thirty new concubines are welcome."

"What?" Wang Zixin was stunned, and couldn't help but look up at Xiao Jinzhi, "Your Majesty, a humble minister is taking a concubine?"

What he proposed was obviously to hope that the emperor could seize the time and choose a concubine as soon as possible, so why did he end up taking a concubine?

"Yes." Xiao Jinzhi nodded, "Even the royal bloodline king cares so much, so naturally you can't ignore your own affairs. Thirty concubines must be collected within three days. This is my order. Three days Queen of Heaven, if there is one less, I will give you ten big blows."

Wang Zixin's face suddenly turned pale.

Let’s not talk about where he found thirty concubines in three days, and if he really took in thirty concubines in three days, he would not be criticized from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. What's more, his wife's side...

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely forbidden. Taking concubines..."

"These thirty concubines must be willing to enter your royal family. There must be no intimidation or coercion, otherwise they will be severely punished."

Xiao Jinzhi paused, raised the ends of his eyes, and continued to speak with a faint smile.

"In addition, the food and clothing provided by the concubine after entering the house must not be treated harshly. If anyone feels that they have been treated badly after entering the house, or is dissatisfied, they can leave at any time. Before leaving, Wang Aiqing remembers to provide travel expenses. , each person needs to be given fifty taels as a subsidy."

"What?" Wang Zixin could be said to be completely dumbfounded.

Fifty taels as a subsidy?

His salary is not much in total. If someone pretends to marry him first and then asks to leave, he will have to pay fifty taels if he leaves, and his family fortune will be completely emptied!

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. What's the point of this?"

"Master Wang attaches so much importance to blood. Since he welcomes people into the house and spreads branches and leaves for you, is it possible that you can marry him but you can't raise him?" Xiao Jinzhi's tone became colder, "Is it possible that I am an official in the court? Is this a ruthless person who entered your house and refused to even give you any money when he left?"

Although Xiao Jinzhi's words were obviously meant to tease Wang Zixin, the latter was still as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen proposed to choose a concubine sincerely for the sake of the royal family. Wei Chen..."

"I proposed taking a concubine sincerely for the sake of Mr. Wang. Why, Mr. Wang thinks that I am deliberately trying to harm you?"

Wang Zixin choked, even if he did think so in his heart, but in front of the emperor and so many courtiers, if he really agreed to this, he would be digging his own grave!

In panic, Wang Zixin could only play the emotional card.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, but this is absolutely forbidden. Wei Chen and Wei Chen's wife are childhood sweethearts. They have known each other since childhood and have been very close to each other for so many years. If Wei Chen suddenly takes so many concubines, I'm afraid that she will It’s going to be sad.”

Xiao Jinzhi was waiting for the other party's words. Hearing this, he sneered and his face suddenly darkened.

"It's a good feeling. It seems that Wang Aiqing also knows that if you accept someone else, your wife will be sad. But you are afraid that your wife will be uncomfortable. Doesn't my queen deserve to be sad?"
