Chapter 373
"Empress, excuse me for taking the liberty of my concubine. Excuse me, why don't you let the king stay in the Shuilong Shuren Palace?" In the back garden of Chaoyang Palace, Jing Gui, who had just recovered, followed Baosi respectfully, cautiously. asked.

Baosi sighed thoughtfully: "Mr. Jing, I know that you are talking about Lady Xue. Indeed, Lady Xue is one of my best sisters in the palace, and she is also my master. Looking at her growing up, I should help her no matter what, but there is one thing, I am hesitant to let Mrs. Xuegui accompany the king to bed."

"Is Your Majesty worried that Mrs. Xue will be spoiled by Your Majesty?" Jing Guiren asked in surprise.

"Of course not. I just feel that I can't bear it. There is a big gap between the age of the king and Xuegui. I don't want to ruin Xuegui's life." Bao Si murmured melancholy.

"Your Majesty, this is a wrong idea. Just think about it. Who can leave the palace casually after entering the palace? If you don't get the favor of the king and don't give birth to a boy and a half girl, you can only stay in the harem in desolation and wait." Wouldn't death ruin your life even more?" Jing Gui asked suspiciously.

"Mr. Jing, perhaps, you are right. For my Xue'er, sometimes you have to be hard-hearted." Bao Si understood and nodded slightly.

In Lu Kai's mansion, Concubine Ge's confidant maid immediately revealed a letter to Lu Kai, saying that Mrs. Xue Gui from Shuilong Shuren Palace did not want to accept kindness or serve her bed. When Lu Kai learned about it, his brows furrowed. Quickly invited the cabinet minister Wu Jin to come to discuss.

"What? This nobleman Xue dares to be extremely confused. How can a concubine not want the emperor to be lucky? Since nobleman Jing and nobleman Xue have no way to provoke Bao Si, then the only choice is to introduce a newcomer!" Wu Jin laughed dumbly. .

"Newcomer? I think back then, the current Empress was recommended by the old man. Now, why don't we go our separate ways, Wu Jin? In this world, it is not easy to find a beautiful woman like the empress. If the king is not satisfied, how can we?" Didn't you blatantly offend the empress again, making things worse?" Lu Kai questioned.

"Lord Lu, this candidate, I have already found the candidate!" Wu Jin smiled comfortably, clapped his hands together, and from behind the screen, a curvaceous twenty-eight beautiful woman stepped out gracefully, although she was wearing a Qian skirt and had a slender figure , but his eyes are full of heroism and look forward to him.

"Okay!" The ecstatic Lu Kai couldn't help applauding, and looked at the woman carefully, Lu Kai couldn't help guessing: "Lord Wu, according to my eyes, this woman should not be Zhongyuan Lishu?"

"Exactly, my lord has good eyesight, the little girl's name is Susu, she is the righteous daughter I recognized in Xirong." Wu Jin stroked his beard and laughed.

Lu Kai looked at Wu Susu with a smile, and couldn't help but be full of praise: "Sure enough, it's a foreign scenery, and it's not like ordinary fat and vulgar fans!"

"My little girl, Susu, send my greetings to Master Lu." Susu looked forward delicately, with a special feeling.

On this day, in the early morning hours, just after the fifth watch, Yuyu clarified that Minggong was sitting on a dragon chair, looking majestic, and the cabinet minister Cheng Rong first played: "Qi Wang, since the beginning of summer, the dykes and dams in the Hebei area The bridge has been built, so the flood season can be safe and sound, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, please reward the heroes who built the river."

"Well, Cheng Rong, you are rigorous in your work, and the minister of river governance you recommended is also loyal to his duty. In less than half a year, the people's livelihood in Hebei has greatly improved. You have contributed a lot. You ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up titles to reward the ministers of river governance." Ming Ming Gong jaw smiled.

"Your Majesty, in the recent years since my great Zhou Dynasty, King Lai has been a sage, and his literary and martial arts have brought stability to the world. It is rare for a king to be superior to Yao and Shun since ancient times. I implore the king to come to Li Palace on Xingli Mountain in the next month, and personally invite the leaders of the frontier to show me. The Great Zhou is strong and prosperous! Please allow it, Your Majesty!" As soon as Cheng Rong finished speaking, Lu Kai and Wu Jin took the opportunity to flatter and encourage one after another.
