Hulu suggested that the table should be made into a long strip, aiming for a scale of fifty people, so as to achieve it in one step.

If you can't hold fifty people, you can turn Yaoguang Hall into a canteen in the future, just like a buffet, where everyone lines up to go to the window to get food.

Miao Hongxiu wrote down everything carefully.

Xiao Guoer pursed her lips, "Is that how you admit it?"

Hu Lu pinched her cheek and said, "When a beautiful woman enters the palace, she must choose the best and give her a position. Those talents are qualified to serve. When the time comes, you and Linglong can help me check."

It's not up to them to decide whether to choose one or two or a dozen. Of course, it's impossible to choose none.

Xiao Guoer snorted, "Then I will specifically pick out the ugly ones!"

Wan Linglong sarcastically said, "If we select a few dozen people from tens of millions of women of the right age across the country, I'm afraid the ugliest ones are not even inferior to the virtuous concubines."

Xiao Guoer said, "You are not as good as me. Then the ugliest person is ten thousand times more beautiful than you!"

"The Concubine Xian is blindly confident."

"Youth is capital!"

The enemies started fighting again, and Hulu pulled his red sleeves to escape from the battlefield.

He took a nap in the Sixiang Hall at noon, and began to deal with state affairs as soon as he got up.

Sixiang Hall is where he handles government affairs. As his personal secretary, Miao Hongxiu wanted to return to her post as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Yu Zhiyu, who was raising the baby, was injured, and she had to take care of three-year-old Hu Laoliu herself.

So now serving Hulu are his four maids: hearts, red squares, spades, and clubs.

Although they are ordinary in appearance, they are all literate and quite talented. They are considered to be seventh-grade female officials in the palace. After leaving the palace, they will have no problem in serving the government.

This is also the easiest shortcut for women to embark on an official career besides taking scientific examinations.

Hu Lu first issued two imperial edicts, instructing local officials in Caozhou to pay attention to the Yanjiang water monster. If it cannot be eradicated, the water can be temporarily closed, and remember to protect the safety of people's lives and property.

At the same time, the East China Sea Navy was ordered to be on standby.

If the harm is really too great, the only way to defeat the evil is with a mortal body.

Nowadays, many government affairs are handled by the Political Affairs Hall headed by Prime Minister Xiao Shen. There are not many important matters that require holy judgment. The workload of the emperor Hulu has been greatly reduced.

What he has to do now is to supervise the work results of the Political Affairs Hall, and he also has the Supervisory Office to help him supervise, so within half an hour, all the official documents on the case have been processed.

The country's affairs are finished, and now it's his own affairs.

Hulu took out a book called "The Book of Immortals" from the bookshelf behind him and read it with relish.

Since his encounter with immortals a month ago, Hu Lu has begun to collect books about gods and monsters, and "The Immortal Sutra" is one of them. It contains many folk myths and can be regarded as a collection of short stories.

Although there is little connection between each story, and there is no cultivation system such as Qi training, foundation building, or golden elixir, it is quite interesting to read.

In the past, Hu Lu might have regarded this book as a novel like "Liao Zhai", but now he wonders, might some of the chapters be documentary literature?

So the villains searched for immortals for him, and many clues were found from these literary works, such as the water monster that hates the river.

Now he just hated that there were too few such books. He searched the palace collection and ordered to collect among the people, but there were only a few books.

In fact, this incident is fundamentally to blame on their Dayue Taizu, Hu Shuo.

You said that you, the old man, wanted to usurp the throne, so why did you even burn down the National Library of the Great Qian Dynasty? Is this something human beings did?

This not only brought great difficulties to Dayue's revision of "History of Qian", but also made the Dah, Tiegou, Daxuan and other dynasties before Daqian unclear, and also caused Hu Lu to lose a lot of reading pleasure.

It is said that the Daqian Imperial Library was dozens of times the size of today's Tianlu Pavilion, and there must be much more useful information about cultivating spirits and monsters.

Hu Lu heard that there was such a team in the uprising army in the late Qian Dynasty, called the Green Turban Army. Its leader could call the wind and rain to spread the beans and form an army. It is not known whether he was a charlatan or a true practitioner.

Unfortunately, there are very few records about this rebel army in existing documents.

"Alas~" After watching for a while, Hulu opened the window and looked into the distance, "I wonder when I can see the fairy again."

As the sun set, the maid Hongtao brought a tray with four jade plaques engraved on it.

It’s time for the much-loved stage of flipping cards again, which can be regarded as a reward for a hard day’s work.

Hulu was quite restrained when it came to women. Even though he was so powerful and in his prime, he only had four women, and each of them had a deep enough emotional foundation.

In order to prevent his desires from expanding indefinitely, he asked the palace to eliminate all the beauties when selecting female officials and maids. The selected ones were all mediocre and middle-aged, and the number was also reduced to a certain extent. .

Compared with his father and imperial grandfather, Emperor Fushou was simply a peerless good man.

But no matter how good a man is, he will inevitably crave for new experiences, so in the fourth year after he brought Hongxiu into his harem, he also took in Yu Zhuangyuan's little aunt, who was said to be beautiful and fragrant.

At this time, he had already turned over the poppy sign and decided to show off at Chu Xiu Palace tonight.

Hong Tao couldn't help but be a little surprised. Yu Zhiyu had already been promoted from a lady to a beauty after three months in the palace. This was the first time that the emperor had tried her best.

Just as she was about to leave for Chuxiu Palace to convey the order, Hu Lu said again, "There is no need to inform her in advance, just give her a surprise."

~

At this time, Yu Zhiyu was lying on the bed bored and recuperating, holding a book of "Fu Shou Poems" in his hand.

She had just seen off the eldest princess an hour ago, and the child also brought herself a pair of crutches. They were made of rosewood and were quite small and exquisite. They said they were used by the third princess last year.

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible eldest princess, Yu Zhiyu couldn't help but think how great it would be if she could have such a little cotton-padded jacket.

However, three months after entering the womb, there was still no movement in her belly. This made Yu Zhiyu inevitably feel a little melancholy and wondered if she had any infertility.

Or is it a problem with His Majesty?

Oops, it's my fault, how could I miss His Majesty the mighty and handsome so much? If there is a problem, it must be my problem!

But she didn't dare to go to the imperial doctor for this kind of problem. Maybe she could call her nephew-in-law into the palace if she had a chance. She had given birth to a child before, so she might be able to give her some advice from someone who had experienced it.

For example, how to conceive a child?

She only knew some vague knowledge, such as that a man and a woman could conceive a child if they stayed in the same room overnight.

On the day she got married, His Majesty stayed here overnight, and the conditions were met, but three months later, her stomach was still flat.

Alas, when will your majesty be able to spend the night again? Last time, I blamed myself for being too drunk and fell unconscious after drinking. I didn't even understand what it was like to be pregnant with a child.

I must stay awake this time and try to give birth to a cute little princess.

She continued to read Hu Lu's poem, "The crowd searched for him a thousand times. Suddenly looking back, he was there, in a dimly lit place."

I never tire of reading this poem, and there seems to be a beautiful encounter hidden in it.

However, there is another song at the end, "This year's Lantern Festival, the moon and the lights are still the same. I don't see the people from last year, and my spring shirt sleeves are wet with tears."

Are "that person" and "last year's person" the same person?

What kind of sad story is there?

Just as Yu Zhiyu was thinking about it, the door was pushed open.

She thought it was her maid, but she saw His Majesty the Emperor, whom she had been longing for, walking in.

Yu Zhiyu was frightened and hurriedly stuffed the collection of poems under his pillow.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"No need to get up," Hulu slid to sit on the edge of the bed, suppressing Yu Zhiyu who was about to get up, "Let me see how the injury is."

With that said, Hu Lu took hold of Yu Zhiyu's tiny white foot and squeezed it twice.

It's as if it's boneless and feels great in the hand.
