In the early morning, the palace people gradually became busy
Outside Cining Palace, the jade chariot stopped, the eunuchs knelt on the ground, and Dugu Chen walked out of the jade chariot holding Su Qingyi's hand.
When the palace attendants in Cining Palace heard the commotion outside, they all knelt down and said, "May the Emperor be blessed with peace and prosperity, and the Queen may be blessed with peace and prosperity."
Dugu Chen gave a faint hum and signaled them to get up, and everyone stood up and backed away, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Entering the front hall surrounded by palace people, Queen Mother Yin was leaning on the couch, looking haggard.
"My son, I would like to express my regards to my mother." Dugu Chen bowed his head and saluted, and Su Qingyi followed suit.
"Get up, sit down quickly." Queen Mother Yin bowed and motioned for them to sit down.
After sitting down, Dugu Chen asked, "Has your mother been feeling better recently?"
The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said: "It's much better than the past few days. The imperial doctor said that it will be fine if it takes a few more days to recover."
Dugu Chen nodded, and Su Qingyi looked inside the palace and asked, "Why don't you see Wanyan? I wonder if Wanyan's service is okay?"
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked into the palace and said: "That child is very considerate, and the Ai family likes it very much. He was here just now, but he suddenly went somewhere."
At this time, the palace maid who was serving tea said: "Your Majesty, my sister has just gone to the garden. She said that she wanted to use the morning dew to make tea for her to drink, which will clear the fire and moisten the lungs."
The Queen Mother chuckled, "Look, how thoughtful she is."
Dugu Chen nodded slightly, Su Qingyi remained calm, half smiling but not smiling.
"Your Majesty seems to have lost weight recently. Although political affairs are important, don't be too tired."
Dugu Chen nodded slightly and said: "I care about my mother after working hard for her, my son is sensible."
"Well, there has not yet been a draft in the harem, and you don't have much love for concubines. I'm afraid it won't be enough for the Queen to take care of you alone. Today you go to court and prepare for the draft with the Ministry of Rites." The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and said calmly.
Hearing this, Su Qingyi raised a faint smile on her lips and said nothing. Dugu Chen was silent for a moment and said: "I have just ascended the throne, so I still want to focus on state affairs and don't want to be distracted by the harem. Besides, I have a queen to take care of my son."
That’s enough for me.”
The Queen Mother chuckled and said: "Although you have just ascended the throne, you are already a grown man. The temple and the harem should naturally be able to cope with it. Letting you be drafted is not just for you. Now that you are the emperor, this is also the emperor's way of continuing the incense of the royal family."
It is the responsibility of our ancestors and the rules of our ancestors throughout the ages. You should understand this."
Dugu Chen nodded slightly, having nothing to say. He had thought about this day for a long time. As an emperor, having many children and heirs was also a part of governing the country. It was an inevitable step. He used to not care about it.
But, it was different now. Now that he had her, of course he knew that what she wanted was the relationship between two people for the rest of her life. She had sacrificed her life to get today, but he wanted three thousand beauties to neglect her?
"The Aijia knows your difficulties." The Empress Dowager saw that Duguchen was silent and said, "But now that you are the emperor and the emperor of the people of the world, you can't just think about yourself, but you have to think about the world. Even if the Aijia still insists today,
As time goes by, the officials in the court will say, and the people in the world will say, "What will you do if you have the reputation of being a doting and mediocre person? What should you do with the Queen?"
After saying that, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Since we have thought about getting to this point, we must also have thought about reaching this step. The Aijia thinks that the Queen is a person who understands the big picture and will not care about these small things, right, Queen
