It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Lu Xingchen would naturally not kill Xiao Qiwen, he was just a child.

Lu Xingchen squeezed his shoulder and said, "Okay, go to sleep peacefully."

As for whether Xiao Qiwen could fall asleep, Lu Xingchen had no ability to interfere.

She didn't kill Concubine Shu either.

Whatever the reason, Concubine Shu helped her when she was just starting out.

If Concubine Shu had not spoken well of her in front of the emperor, perhaps the emperor would have taken action against her long ago and would not have watched her grow stronger.

As she walked forward step by step, Concubine Shu played a role, so she saved her life.

Of course, Li Chaoyang had been killed by her.

When Lu Xingchen moved into the capital, the people of the capital were in panic.

However, Lu Xingchen's troops had strict military discipline and would not disrupt the lives of the people. Gradually, the capital returned to its original state.

Jiang Fangtu arrived in the capital earlier than Lu Kui and his companions.

Seeing so many shops closed, Jiang Fangtu sighed a few times, thinking it was a waste of resources.

This is the capital city, the most prosperous capital of Daliang.

Of course, the country’s name will change soon.

Lu Yunfeng and Lu Kui finally stepped into the streets of the capital.

"Brother, I've been here once before. When I stepped on this stone road, I always felt like this place was heaven on earth. It was so wonderful."

"At that time, I thought we didn't know when we could enter the capital?"

"I didn't expect that in just over two years, we would become the masters of this place."

Lu Yunfeng was extremely excited. Looking at the shops, restaurants and teahouses lined up on both sides, he kept talking to Lu Kui.

Lu Kui also felt deeply about this. He lived in the capital for a period of time when he was taking the imperial examination.

It was still the Song Dynasty at that time.

Although it was the last years of the Song Dynasty and there were constant wars everywhere, the capital was not affected by the wars and remained prosperous and stable, with the people living and working in peace and contentment.

At that time, the capital city was extremely prosperous. Students from all over the country gathered in the Zhuangyuan Building in the capital. Before the imperial examination, everyone recited poems and wrote essays, expressing their feelings freely. They were very happy.

Later, there were constant wars, and the Song Dynasty became the Qi Dynasty, and the Qi Dynasty became the Daliang Dynasty.

Things are about to change again.

But this time it was his daughter who entered the capital.

A generation of queens.

Lu Kui couldn't believe it.

More than two years ago, he would never have dreamed that his daughter, Lu's family, would be able to ascend the throne and become the ruler of the world.

But now it has become a reality.

When Lu Xingchen heard that Lu Kui and Lu Yunfeng had arrived, he came out to greet them.

When Lu Yunfeng saw Lu Xingchen, he knelt down.

Lu Xingchen reached out and held the man, "What are you doing, uncle?"

"We are a family, but there is also a distinction between ruler and subject. This is as it should be." Du Yunfeng knows his limits.

He is not Lu Kui's biological brother, but a distant relative of Lu Kui. Lu Xingchen trusts him because he knows his limits.

This time, Lu Nie was not allowed by Lu Xingchen to come to the capital.

Before leaving, he heard from his wife that Lu Nie had suddenly aged more than ten years.

Although Lu Nie is Lu Xingchen's uncle, he does not know his limits and always wants to get things that are beyond his reach.

"I haven't ascended the throne yet, so there's no need for so many formalities." Lu Xingchen said to Lu Yunfeng, then took Lu Kui's hand and walked into the palace.

Xiao Yan has been building the imperial palace, but has not built an imperial tomb for himself.

After his death, Gu Xingchen moved him out of the palace and found a courtyard to temporarily house him.

In addition, she has sent people to build a mausoleum for Xiao Yan.

Once the mausoleum is built, Xiao Yan can be buried.

After all, he was an emperor.

On the surface, her throne was given to her by Xiao Yan, so it also means inheritance of the throne.

Naturally, these superficial efforts must be done particularly well.

Moreover, Xiao Yan’s funeral must be held as a state funeral, and it must be grand and dignified.

Lu Xingchen asked everyone else to leave, and for a moment only he and Lu Kui were left in the bedroom.

Lu Kui looked at her, not showing much happiness, but a hint of sadness.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? I'm the empress and you're the emperor, isn't this good enough?"

"From now on, the entire palace will belong to us, father and daughter."

Lu Kui said, "It's scary to have two people living in such a big place and leaving it empty."

Lu Xingchen,...

"So this is what you wanted to say."

"It's alright. I'll give you three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. I guarantee that your harem will be fully stocked. You can have any woman you want."

Lu Kui was so angry that he laughed.

This girl doesn't even give him time to be sad.

"Dad is saying that you are a woman, sitting on the throne, what will you do in the future?"

"How are you going to get married?"

"Isn't that easy? Just choose a concubine." Lu Xingchen said.

Lu Kui felt like his whole body was exploding.

This is what worries him most.

It is natural for a man sitting on the throne to choose a concubine, but Lu Xingchen is a woman, how can a woman choose a concubine?

Then it becomes...

He didn't even dare to imagine that scene.

"Okay, Dad, don't think about these messy things. I can live without a man, and I'm living quite well." Lu Xingchen said.

Lu Kui couldn't imagine how a woman would live in the future if she didn't get married.

"Dad, I'm the emperor now. I have everything I want, so why do I have to have a man?" Lu Xingchen said.

"By the way, your second uncle said Ling Xiao likes you." Lu Kui's eyes suddenly lit up.

Lu Xingchen looked surprised.

"Dad, what are you talking about? He is my brother."

"What younger brother? He is dad's adopted son." Lu Kui said.

He started to match people up randomly again.

"No, what I mean is, in my heart, I always treat him as my younger brother." Lu Xingchen said.

"What younger brother? To put it bluntly, he is a servant of our family. If you don't hate him, why not keep him in the palace and have him serve you alone. What do you think?" Lu Kui acted as if to compromise and give in.

"Dad, stop talking nonsense. I have been training Ling Xiao. He will be my general in the future. Now the Great Wei and a dozen small countries in the south are not in our hands. In the future, he will have to lead thousands of troops to help me conquer the whole world. I keep him in the room. Will he only conquer me?" Lu Xingchen said.

Lu Kui,...

This girl is speaking without restraint now. What kind of nonsense is this?

"I have just moved into the palace and cannot build anything large, so you can only live in the existing palace..."

"Jingyang Palace has plenty of sunlight, so you can live in it."

"Also, I want to abolish the eunuch system. This system is extremely destructive to human nature, and it cripples all good people." Lu Xingchen said.

"From now on, there will be no eunuchs in the palace, only palace maids."

"So, the girls who serve you are all pretty girls. You can take any one you like into your room. You don't have to put yourself in a difficult position."

"I know, I know." Lu Kui waved his hands irritably.

He was naturally happy that Lu Xingchen became the emperor, but as a father he was also worried about Lu Xingchen's personal problems.

In Lu Kui's mind, it is unacceptable for a woman not to marry and have children, as she is not a complete woman.

Does Lu Xingchen think that women must get married? No, as long as they are capable and live a good life, that is enough.
