Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

Dongming country.

The people sent by Yue Qinghe to Xihe Kingdom to inquire about Yue Qingshen's safety quickly traveled from Dongming Kingdom to Xihe Kingdom within a month.

The news that Yue Qingshen was safe in Xihe King's Palace was brought to Yue Qinghe.

After Yue Qinghe learned that she was still safe, her tense mood eased for a month.

After he asked people to retreat, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Shui, who was on the side, also learned that Yue Qingchen was safe, so he said: "In this way, the emperor can rest assured."

Yue Qinghe's eyes fell on Zhong Shui and asked: "Have you contacted Qingmu?"

"Not yet." When Qingmu was mentioned, Zhong Shui's eyebrows were full of worry, "My subordinates have sent people to Xihe Kingdom to look for traces of Qingmu."

According to Xingxue's words, Aoki and the Ninth Princess escaped from the King's Palace of Saiga. As a result, the Ninth Princess is still in the King's Palace of Nishiga alone, which proves that their escape plan failed.

The princess is still in the palace of King Xiga, and the missing Aoki is probably in danger.

Zhong Shui did not say this clearly, and he believed that the master on the dragon throne had some understanding in his heart.

"The Queen Mother." The servant's salute sounded outside the imperial study room door.

Immediately, Zhong Shui saw a woman in gorgeous clothes stepping into the door of the palace. He immediately knelt on the ground and saluted her with other slaves.

Ran Yu casually said without courtesy and walked towards Yue Qinghe, "Qinghe."

"Mother." Yue Qinghe stood up to greet her, "I would like to express my greetings to my mother."

Ran Yu's body was poisoned by flying sand, but since Yue Qingshen came to Xihe Country to get married, she took the antidote at regular times, and it had no big impact.

She sat down aside, took a sip of the tea served by the servant, glanced at the servants in the palace, and then turned her eyes to her son, "I heard that the emperor has recently assigned all the affairs of the court to Prince Teng to handle."

Yue Qinghe raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, "If you have anything to say, mother, just say it directly."

Now there is really no need for the mother and son to continue to talk in such roundabout ways.

"Okay." Ran Yu knew very well that because of Yue Qingchen's marriage, his attitude towards him was not even comparable to that of the servants around him.

She just pretended that he hadn't figured it out yet.

Yue Qingshen has been going to Xihe country for several months to get married.

No matter how unwilling he is, things are now a foregone conclusion and nothing can be done to change it.

His life should go on.

"It has only been a few months since you ascended the throne as emperor. Not only the ministers in the court are discussing the fact that you have not yet established a concubine. Even the people in Kyoto City are talking about it. Qinghe, even if you don't want to confer a concubine, you still have to establish a concubine." We really can’t put this matter off any longer.”

Originally, only the ministers in the court were urging their new emperor to establish a queen and have concubines to fill his harem.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, many people in Kyoto City were already discussing that their new emperor had been on the throne for half a year, and there was not a single concubine in the harem.

Everyone is speculating whether there is any unknown hidden disease in the new emperor's body?

"You always said before that there were so many affairs in the court that you had no time to take care of the harem. Now that you have handed over some affairs to Prince Teng, isn't it time to select a few concubines to enter the palace?" Ran Yu put down the white jade teacup and said, He stared at his son on the dragon throne with a serious expression.

When Zhong Shui heard this question, he suddenly remembered that there had indeed been many problems regarding his master's health in Kyoto recently.

It is said that the master has been on the throne for half a year and there is not a single concubine in the harem.

Either there is something wrong with her body, or she is a lustful man.

But having been with Yue Qinghe for many years, he knew that his master had no problems and didn't like men.

It's just that the person he loves marries in another country, and he can't let go of the princess and find a new love.

It cannot be said that the Queen Mother mentioned this matter for other reasons. She also wanted to do her best for her master.

It is impossible for the master to give up that relationship.

Let other women enter his heart again.

However, Zhong Shui knew very well that once the master recognized someone, he would never change his mind again.

Hearing this question, Yue Qinghe couldn't help but laugh, "Is the queen so anxious to force your niece into the palace?"

Seeing his cold and sarcastic attitude, Ran Yu immediately stood up, her well-maintained face showing a hint of anger, "Even if you don't like Chinen, you still have to select women to enter the palace and block the ministers of the court. and the people’s mouths. Otherwise, how would you be known to the outside world?"

He didn't care what people outside said about him.

He won't stay in this position for long anyway.

but……

His eyes were slightly sharp and fell on his mother.

There were always some things that had to make her give up completely.

"Okay, since the Queen Mother said so, I will listen to the Queen Mother." Yue Qinghe stood up and said coldly: "There is no need to appoint a concubine, I will just make my cousin Zhinian my concubine."

As soon as he said this, Ran Yu looked at his son in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he had been rejected many times before, but today he easily agreed?

Could it be that you have really figured it out and want to forget that girl?

Ran Yu felt excited in her heart, but she didn't show it too obviously. She just said: "Qinghe, it would be great if you figured it out."

She paused and then said: "As soon as your decree is issued, the Ai family will immediately find someone to pick the nearest auspicious day so that you and Zhinian can get married as soon as possible."

She had been waiting for this day for so long, and finally waited for him to let go. He was really willing to make Ran Zhinian his queen, so naturally he would not let this happen forever.

Although I don't know what he is thinking right now, if he takes someone into his palace and faces him day and night, he will always be in love with her for a long time.

When the time comes, he will be able to forget about that girl Yue Qingchen and think about Zhinian.

After all, Ran Zhinian is much better than that girl Yue Qingchen.

She didn't believe that Ran Zhinian would not be able to replace that girl's place in his heart.

As soon as Ran Yu left the imperial study, Zhong Shui immediately frowned and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to make Prime Minister Ran's daughter your queen?"

Yue Qinghe's expression was cold and his voice was lukewarm, "I've already said the words, what do you think?"

"If this spreads to Xihe Kingdom, I'm afraid the princess will misunderstand." Zhong Shui certainly knew that his master's decision was just a temporary measure.

"Dongming Kingdom and Xihe Kingdom are separated by a month's journey. Once the news reaches them, the plan is probably almost completed."

When Zhong Shui heard this, he said nothing more.

Yue Qinghe put down the book, got up and left the imperial study, and went to the Imperial Hospital where Li Mo was.

Ever since Yue Qinghe handed over the purple sand formula and seeds brought back by Xingxue to Li Mo, he had plowed a piece of land in the yard behind the Imperial Hospital and tried to plant the seeds of Shu Ning.

The climates of Dongming Kingdom and Xihe Kingdom are similar, but the nutritional content of the soil is different.

Li Mo did not dare to plant all the seeds. Instead, he used a small part of the seeds and planted them in the soil of Dongming Kingdom. He found that they would sprout, but they withered soon after.

In this way, he could only ask someone to go to Xihe Country to find out what kind of soil was used to grow Shuneng.

At present, the people who went to Xihe Country have not returned yet, so he can only collect other medicinal materials first.
