The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

"The queen is careful." Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled gently, "Then follow what the queen said."

Sun Kui originally thought that Emperor Wu of Zhou would oppose the queen's proposal, but he didn't expect Emperor Wu of Zhou to agree, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"The concubine will carefully select a few beauties who are well-behaved and send them to the Daiwangfu." Empress Xie said, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

Seeing Empress Xie's hesitant expression, Emperor Wu of Zhou said softly, "Empress, if you have something to say, speak up."

Empress Xie hesitated before she spoke: "Your Majesty, do you want to send some imperial physicians to Dai Wang's mansion to feel the pulse of Dai Wang and Dai Wangfei?" She had just finished speaking, and hurriedly added, "Dai Wang has been fighting abroad for several years. He has suffered a lot of injuries, big and small, and he has also taken a lot of medicine. As the saying goes, medicine is three-point poisonous, and it may hurt his foundation. Let the imperial doctor take a look at him carefully, and then prescribe a prescription Take care of yourself."

"Then send the imperial physician to replace the palace."

After Zhou Wudi finished speaking, seeing Empress Xie's hesitant expression, he smiled slightly at her, "Empress, what else do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine arranged for the imperial doctor to go to Dai Wang's mansion and reward the beauties to the Dai Wang. I'm afraid that Concubine Rong will be unhappy and will not agree with my concubine to do this." Empress Xie said, with a wry smile on her face, "I'm afraid The noble concubine will feel that the concubine deliberately humiliated the acting king."

Sun Kui said in his heart, isn't it?
"You are also kind." Zhou Wudi said, "Even if the queen doesn't say anything, I will send an imperial physician to replace the palace tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, you have a loving father's heart."

"Tomorrow, you can arrange it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked again: "Queen, is there anything else?"

"The concubine is fine, and the concubine will not bother you anymore." Empress Xie bowed her knees and saluted, "Your Majesty, you should also go to bed early."

"The queen also rests earlier." Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Sun Kui, "Send the queen out."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sun Kui sent Empress Xie out of the imperial study.Empress Xie did not leave in a hurry, but told Sun Kui: "Eunuch Sun, the emperor will forget the time when he is busy, and you also remind the emperor to go to rest early."

"Empress, don't worry, this slave will definitely remind the emperor."

"If the emperor is hungry, remember to prepare supper for the emperor." Empress Xie said, "Prepare food that is easy to digest. Also, don't prepare strong tea for the emperor at night. If you drink too much strong tea, the emperor will not be able to sleep at night. It's..."

Empress Xie ordered a lot of things in one breath, and she didn't hold Jiang Chuan's hand until Sun Kui remembered them all and left.

Sun Kui sent Empress Xie off for a while, and then was driven back by Empress Xie, telling him to go back to serve the emperor quickly.

"Your Majesty, just now the Empress has instructed the servants and servants many things."

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked without raising his head, "What did she say?"

"The Empress asked the servants to remind you to go to bed early..." Sun Kui told Emperor Zhou Wu exactly what Empress Xie had told him.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, the Empress really cares about you."

Emperor Wu of Zhou just said "hmm".

Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't say anything, Sun Kui didn't want to disturb him anymore, but when he saw the lotus seed soup beside the imperial table, he could only speak again: "Your Majesty, the soup sent by the empress will be cold if you don't drink it."

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at the lotus seed soup that was put aside, and said in a flat tone: "Take it."

"Yes." Sun Kui walked out carrying the soup.

Seeing this, his apprentice stepped forward and said, "Will the emperor not drink?"

Sun Kui handed the soup in his hands to his disciples, "The emperor has never liked to drink soup. Whether it is the soup sent by the empress or the concubine Rong, the emperor rarely drinks it." After taking two sips, he asked him to take the rest of the soup.However, every time the emperor went to Kunde Hall, Liang Zhaoyi would prepare a bowl of soup for the emperor, and the emperor would drink it all up.

"Then what about the soup?"

"It's cheaper for you." Sun Kui knew that the empress did not make the lotus seed soup herself, so he let the apprentice drink it.If the Empress Dowager made it herself, Sun Kui would dump it.

"Thank you, master." The apprentice retreated with the soup, and drank it when he returned to his own room.

Empress Xie returned to Zhaoyang Palace and asked Jiang Chuan and Nanny Sun to choose two beautiful ones from the maids in Zhaoyang Palace.Others are selected from other palaces.

Jiang Chuan and Nanny Sun understood what Empress Xie meant, and quickly selected two beautiful maids from Zhaoyang Palace.Queen Xie looked at it and was very satisfied.

Nanny Sun led the two maids back down, and then explained some things to them.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Empress Xie said softly, "Just say what you want."

"Your Majesty, actually it is not a bad thing to let Kong Taichang's youngest daughter enter the Dai Palace."

Empress Xie was a little surprised by Jiang Chuang's words, and asked, "Why isn't it a bad thing?"

"After Kong Taichang's youngest daughter enters the Dai Wangfu, she will definitely compete with the Dai Wangfei. If she is the eldest son of the Dai Wangfu, then her status in the Dai Wangfu will surpass the Dai Wangfei." Jiang Chuan grew up in Xie's family. Xie's Houzhai has seen many things and methods. "Dai Wangfei and Xuanpinghou's Mansion will definitely not let it go."

Empress Xie didn't think of this, but after hearing what Jiang Chuan said now, she felt that it made sense.

"Your Majesty, there will be no peace in the back residence of the Palace of the Times."

Empress Xie listened, and pondered: "It's not a bad thing, but what good is it for us?"

"Your Majesty, didn't you just say that His Royal Highness Qi is still young. In the past few years, the prince still needs to deal with the Dai Wang." Jiang Chuan analyzed, "If you don't find something for the Dai Wang, I am afraid that the Dai Wang will really be in Qi Before His Highness reaches adulthood, if he succeeds in replacing the Crown Prince, it will be very unfavorable to His Seventh Highness."

"You're right." Before Xiaojing grows up, she has to help the prince, and she can't let the prince be replaced by the acting king. Stepping down will be very difficult. "I will write a letter to my elder brother right now, asking him not to prevent Kong Taichang's youngest daughter from being the side concubine."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Thanks for your reminder." Empress Xie was so angry at Concubine Rong tonight, she didn't think of this for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong, what are you going to do?"

"Let her be proud for a few more days." Empress Xie said meaningfully as she twirled the ring on her ring finger, "In a few days, it will be the death day of my good sister."

"Your Majesty, do you want to do something to Concubine Rong on the anniversary of the death of the late Empress?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"You said that in the emperor's heart, is Rong Guifei more important, or my good sister in this palace?"

Jiang Chuan dared not answer this question.Because no matter whether the answer is Concubine Rong or Empress Xian, Empress Xie will not be happy.

"To tell you the truth, I don't blame you."

Jiang Chuan didn't dare not answer, so he could only answer: "My servant thinks that in the emperor's heart, the former empress is more important than Concubine Rong." When the former empress passed away, the emperor was sad and did not go to court for three days.Also, when the first queen was alive, the emperor respected the first queen very much.

She remembered that the first queen was ill once, and she accompanied her then young lady into the palace to visit the first queen.Not long after they arrived, the emperor came to visit the late empress in a hurry after leaving court, and even personally fed the late empress with medicine.

At that time, Concubine Rong Gui was also ill, but the first person to visit after the emperor went to court was Empress Xian, not Concubine Rong Gui.

Also, she remembered that when the emperor was not the emperor, the emperor often fought outside, and every time he came back from the battle, the emperor would bring some things to the former queen.At that time, the queen empress was very jealous of the former queen.

After the former empress passed away, the emperor would personally worship her every year on the anniversary of her death.The emperor remembered the late queen's birthday clearly, and would go to the Chonghua Palace to pay homage to the late queen.

She still remembers one thing.At that time, Empress Xian was pregnant and returned to Xie's house.In fact, at that time, Empress Xian was four months pregnant and her belly was not big, but the emperor was worried that something would happen to Empress Xian, not only helped Empress Xian get out of the car, but also held Empress Xian's hand, and carefully entered Xie's mansion.

When the first queen was pregnant with the prince, her appetite was not very good, so the emperor specially found a good cook for the first queen to cook meals for the first queen.

The emperor was very concerned about the former empress, and everyone in the Xie family saw it.

"If Yu Wanrong did something that insulted my good sister on the anniversary of my good sister's death, do you think the emperor will be angry?"

"The emperor will naturally be angry."

Empress Xie had a plan in mind, and beckoned to Jiang Chuan.Jiang Chuan stepped forward, and Empress Xie whispered something in her ear.
