Zhu Xiuyuan didn't think twice and said directly: "I don't know what the situation will be like at other times, but on the day when the salt is sold, the bribe that Eunuch A received may be as much as one million taels!"

Concubine You was obviously shocked.

But after all, she is the "vice emperor" of Chen State. What big scenes have she not seen?

So he quickly regained his composure.

"Eunuch Jiawu Jia, haha, it's in vain that I have so much trust in him!" Concubine You sneered. This tone was so different from just now. Zhu Xiuyuan could not help but feel chilled after hearing this.

Concubine You seems to be kind, but she has been the only favorite in the harem for more than ten years and still controls half of the government. How can such a person be easy to get along with?

After Concubine You sighed, she looked up and saw Zhu Xiuyuan's brows were tightened, and his face seemed to be a little pale, so she smiled and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Aiqing. That Jiawu is just my slave, I will take care of it myself." Disposal... Ai Qing, stop standing, come and sit down!"

Concubine You pointed her hand sideways and motioned for Zhu Xiuyuan to sit on the chair next to her.

There is a small coffee table in the middle.

Zhu Xiuyuan said, "I don't dare," and refused to sit down.

Concubine You no longer insisted.

The smile on her face did not diminish, she sat in a dignified posture, raised her eyes and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan a few feet in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Ai Qing is a capable minister that I have not seen in a century, your majesty and this palace, as well as the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, and the people of the world. Wait, I seem to have forgotten that Aiqing is no more than an eighteen-year-old boy!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned.

"Since ancient times, men have cultivated their moral integrity, managed their families, governed the country, and brought peace to the world! The virtues of loving you are obvious to all. There are very few civil and military officials in the dynasty who can compare with loving you."

Concubine You said with a smile on her face. Her words were gentle, just like an elder praising a younger one.

Strictly speaking, Concubine You is indeed Zhu Xiuyuan's elder generation. Judging from age, Zhu Xiuyuan is comparable to the prince, and Concubine You is the concubine of the prince and mother...

Although Concubine You is only in her early thirties.

Because she entered the palace early, women in ancient times also married early.

However, Concubine You is well-maintained. Although she is in her thirties, she is not much different from a young woman of 25. Even after years of refinement, she has a more mature style, which is fascinating.

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but frowned hard after hearing her words.

Is he virtuous?

Can a person who can spy on the imperial concubine without hesitation in the main hall of the harem be called virtuous? !
"The talent of loving you is enough to govern the country and bring peace to the world!" Concubine You still smiled, "This is the Qi family..."

Concubine You "suddenly realized", as if she suddenly remembered this incident.

There was a trace of gossip on his face, and he hurriedly asked: "I have long known that Aiqing married the second lady of the Dong family when he was still in Jiangzhou?"

"Your Majesty is wise. I and my wife are married on the fingertips of my wife. They have been married for a year!" Zhu Xiuyuan felt a little strange in his heart.

"Oh, it's been a year!"

Concubine You picked up the tea cup and drank tea, then gossiped: "I heard from people that the second young lady of the Dong family, who is now Mrs. Shen Leihou, is also a rare little beauty. Ai Qing is really blessed. Got it!"

"Your Majesty's Concubine..."

"Haha..." Concubine You covered her mouth and smiled, "I wonder if Madam Marquis is pregnant?"

"Empress, this..." Zhu Xiuyuan's balls ached.

"Ai Qing is an important minister of my family. If Ai Qing's family affairs are not going well, it will be a great loss to this palace and His Majesty, as well as to the people of the world." "Since Ai Qing entered the court, for Your Majesty How many problems have you solved with me? On the contrary, my and your majesty’s concern for your beloved seems to be seriously insufficient.”

Concubine You looked concerned about the younger generation.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty and Your Majesty... My wife is not... pregnant yet..." Zhu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly. It seems that "inducing birth" is a skill that has been passed down from ancient times to this day.

"Oh? Why is this?" Concubine You sat on the chair, leaning her upper body slightly forward, staring at Zhu Xiuyuan in surprise, as if she was very puzzled.

"Your Majesty, this... this..." Zhu Xiuyuan was very painful, and it was difficult to answer this question.

"It's been a year since Aiqing and Mrs. Hou Ye got married. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be right?" Concubine You stared at him suspiciously, her heart full of gossip. "Could it be that... Mrs. Hou Ye..."

"No! My wife is fine, there's nothing wrong with her at all!"

"Since Madam Marquis has no problem, then..." Concubine You looked at him with a "clear" look.

"Your Majesty, I have no problem with you!" Zhu Xiuyuan met You Guifei's "clear" look, and his old face felt slightly hot.

"Since none of you have any problems, why is this? Well, there are several highly respected imperial doctors in the palace, and I will tell them later..."

"No need, Madam. I understand your kindness and there is no need to see a doctor!" Zhu Xiuyuan was in a daze.

Xin Dao: Why is Concubine You clinging to this matter?
"Then why?"

"..."

"Oh, dear, don't think too much about it. I shouldn't be involved in your private affairs, but you are a great talent that I have not seen in a century. It is not only related to the imperial court and the country, but also to the common people of the world!"

"I am someone who has been here before, and I know the power of this best. Wouldn't it be a pity if Aiqing wastes her achievements due to family affairs? Your Majesty and I have paid too little attention to Aiqing before, and they have to make up for it..."

Concubine You gave a lot of reasons.

Finally, he asked: "Mrs. Hou Ye is not pregnant yet. Why is this?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something..." Zhu Xiuyuan weighed in his mind, and decided to tell the truth, otherwise God knows what weird ideas Concubine You Gui will come up with.

"When I got married to my wife last year, my wife was only sixteen years old. At the age of 16, in the eyes of ordinary people, she is already able to get pregnant and give birth to a child. But in my eyes, it is still a little early."

"At least, wait until later. It will be better for the woman and the fetus, and it will greatly reduce the chance of dystocia..."

Zhu Xiuyuan bowed his hands and explained the specific reasons to prevent Concubine You from making random guesses.

"Oh, that means that the marriage between Aiqing and Madam Marquis has not been consummated yet?" Concubine You said with surprise, and couldn't help but look Zhu Xiuyuan up and down, her eyes filled with brilliance.

"Uh……"

Zhu Xiuyuan was startled, and looked up blankly, and saw that Concubine You was surprised, and then smiled happily. After saying the word "consummation", she was not ashamed at all.

Perhaps she sensed Zhu Xiuyuan's strange gaze, Concubine You paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "I am someone who has been through this before. Don't be embarrassed, my love. This is my concern for my ministers."

"Thank you, my concubine!"

"I heard that the Marquis's wife is a rare little beauty, and Aiqing is still young, but she can keep her body like a jade..."

"..." Zhu Xiuyuan was in a daze.
