Happy Wife Ying Ying

Chapter 474 Come up with an idea
Yingruo smiled, "Brother Guangyu keeps everything in his heart, but he actually understands everything."

Empress Guo raised her brows, "Do you know about his going to war?"

Yingruo nodded, "It's impossible to hide such a big matter. Besides, I'm not a dragger."

Empress Guo laughed again, "You little cutie! With you in the palace, I can feel less lonely."

Yingruo said: "Actually, I came here just to find something for my mother to do."

"Oh?" Queen Guo stared at her with interest.

Yingruo said: "Dare to ask my mother, where are the palace people in the original two palaces of Empress Cui?"

Empress Guo stood up and stretched her waist, "Why are you asking this? Why? Is there a shortage of manpower in the East Palace?"

Yingruo also stood up and walked behind her, "I met the people in the East Palace a few days ago, and there are more than 40 palace ladies. This is just the people in the East Palace. Presumably there are not a thousand palace ladies in the entire harem." Eight hundred!"

Queen Guo turned her head to look at her, "Say what you think directly."

Yingruo said: "Brother Guangyu is going to the Northland. I heard that the land there is sparsely populated and it is very desolate. I wondered whether he could bring some court ladies along with the soldiers when he went this time. "

Empress Guo stared at her for a while, and then told the palace servants to take the cloak, "You accompany me to the back garden for a walk. Let's talk while walking."

Yingruo breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed her step by step, as long as she can listen, it doesn't matter if she spends more time talking.

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out of the gate of Fengqi Palace, they saw the emperor's Luan arrived, accompanied by Zhou Guangyu of course.

Empress Guo hurriedly brought Yingruo to greet her, saying, "Why are you here now?"

The emperor said: "I have been noisy all morning, and I have a headache. I come to you to clean up. What are you doing?"

Queen Guo said: "Go to the imperial garden and exercise your muscles."

The emperor said: "Then let's go together!"

Zhou Guangyu pulled Yingruo to leave, "Then we'll go back first."

Queen Guo glared at him, "What's the answer? Yingying hasn't finished talking yet!"

Zhou Guangyu raised his eyebrows fearlessly, "I can't talk about it next time."

Queen Guo said: "Maybe you two are also interested in what she said."

The emperor and Zhou Guangyu looked at Yingruo together.

Yingruo smiled shyly, "I just have an idea that I want to discuss with the queen mother."

Zhou Guangyu showed displeasure on his face, and deliberately pulled people to fall behind the empress, and said in a low voice, "Why can't you tell me what you think? Could it be that you are encouraging the empress to join the army?"

Yingruo's beautiful eyes flowed, "It's a beautiful idea! But, it's also on the edge."

The family of four walked around the imperial garden and sat down in the octagonal pavilion in the plum garden.

Yingruo looked at the curtains hanging around the pavilion and the burning charcoal basin in it, and secretly said a word in her heart: Hao!

The empress sat on one side, and the young couple sat on the other.

The palace servants served tea and snacks and then retreated.

The emperor picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Say it! What do you think?"

Yingruo glanced at Zhou Guangyu.

Queen Guo said: "Don't be so serious in front of the children. In the court, you are the emperor, but in the court, you are a father in front of the children. Are you tired?"

The emperor said: "Father should also maintain a majestic image. Besides, these two are not timid, who is afraid of me?"

Yingruo said: "My lord is thinking, my husband is going to the Northland, the war is inseparable from the blood of the soldiers. Although it is a matter for men, we women can also do a good job of logistical support. Soldiers When guarding the frontier, what they miss the most is family affection. If they lack anything, then we will give it away.”

"What do you mean? When the soldiers go out to fight, is it possible that they have to bring their family members with them?" The emperor said sarcastically, "Then why do you want to fight? Real swords and guns on the battlefield are no joke."

"What are you doing?" Queen Guo raised her voice, "The child hasn't finished talking yet!"

Yingruo said: "Then dare to ask Father, is the treasury still full?"

"This is not what you should ask..." The emperor was intercepted halfway through his words.

Zhou Guangyu said: "If a war breaks out in the north, my father's treasury may not last for a few years. If another disaster breaks out in various places, it will be even more stretched."

The emperor's face darkened.Anyone who is exposed by his own son will not be happy.

Yingruo said: "Then save some money. How about streamlining expenses and starting from the palace? If everyone works together, then the difficulty will be overcome."

"Reduce expenses?" The emperor knocked on the stone table with his hands.

Yingruo glanced at Queen Guo, and said, "For example, let some of the older maids out of the palace."

Queen Guo said: "Your majesty is clean and self-sufficient. There are not many masters in this harem, and it is true that there are not so many servants. What Yingying means is that the land in the north is sparsely populated, and there are not many people. The released palace ladies are just Let Guangyu take it to the north."

Yingruo said: "Every court lady who voluntarily supports the construction of the Northland will be rewarded with a dowry as the cost of settling down there, and it will be treated as a mother marrying a daughter. If you can match more than a hundred military officers, it will be an incentive The combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and secondly, the court ladies should also be willing!"

The emperor looked at Zhou Guangyu, "What do you think?"

Zhou Guangyu said: "She complained to me a few days ago, that she disliked the fact that there are too many servants in the East Palace. What else did she say, the cost of raising a palace lady is enough to raise a good soldier. I thought about it and found it quite reasonable Yes. A soldier can play a vital role on the battlefield, but in comparison, the role of a court lady is too small."

Empress Guo nodded, "I agree with this point. What can be done by a court lady obviously requires a large group of cheering and hugging people."

Yingruo said: "Ladies in court are also human beings, and they also desire to marry. After they get married, they reproduce and have children, which can be regarded as another contribution to the imperial court."

"Then when will you give birth to a grandson?" The emperor answered the words very smoothly.

Yingruo didn't expect to get angry like this, so she leaned towards Zhou Guangyu and lowered her head.

Zhou Guangyu said: "Why do we have to wait until the Northland is safe? I don't know how long I will stay here!"

Queen Guo said: "Yingying is still young! I am still a child, why did I have a child? When I gave birth to him, I was already 25!"

"Can it be the same?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "We had a special situation at that time."

Zhou Guangyu said: "Our situation is also special!"

The emperor said: "It's almost enough. I'm going to Beidi now, just to let you go and have a look. If there is a fight, you are not allowed to rush forward. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, what you have to bear is the whole big opening, and It’s not about showing off the courage of the moment to fight with others with real swords and guns.”
