After Qi Xuan successfully ascended the throne, we immediately returned to Xia Kingdom.
I asked Xia Yan why he didn't go to Rui Country to subdue Rui Xueji. Xia Yan answered simply that if he wanted to subdue her, he must defeat her. Just relying on words is useless.
It seems that after so many years, Rui Xueji's character has not changed at all.
It took us a month to successfully return to Xia Kingdom.
The New Year is coming soon, and as soon as Xia Yan came back, he plunged into busy work, but I was extremely frightened.
When I was in Anguo, Yan Xitong came to me and asked me to tell him the location where Yan Xiaoqing was imprisoned. I told him, but I have been back for so long and I haven't heard any news about Yan Xiaoqing being rescued.
After a few anxious days, nothing happened. I gradually relaxed and played with my daughter, and my life was relatively satisfactory.
After the New Year, everything is waiting to be done.
Xia Yan immersed himself in government affairs and had little time to accompany me. I was the only one in the harem, which was quiet but also very boring.
After the beginning of spring, the Xia Kingdom ushered in a great harvest. Xia Yan was very happy, but the happiest thing was Zhao Kou, because he could find various shameless reasons to make money from the military treasury.
I'm also happy for Xia Yan, it seems like I haven't seen him so happy for a long time.
However, on the day when Xia Yan entertained the officials, Hu Min came to me alone. Because Chang En was young, I was afraid that she would not be used to it, so I returned to Panlong Palace early to accompany her. But I didn't expect Hu Min to follow me.
He knelt in front of me, with a difficult smile on his old face: "Queen, I'm really bothering you."
I hurriedly asked Xiao Guozi to sit down: "Master Song, it's okay."
Hu Min stood up and said, "I met the queen privately to ask for something."
I couldn't help but feel happy. Logically speaking, the harem is not allowed to interfere with politics. Although the queen's status is second only to the emperor, she is a woman after all. If there is a problem in the court, the ministers will never think of me again.
I was a little flattered and said, "If you have something to do, please just tell me."
Hu Min thought for a while, then stood up and bowed to me: "Queen, what I said is to drive a wedge between the king and the queen. But as a censor, I must not get involved with my personal thoughts. Over the years,
, the queen only gave birth to a princess, the king is upright and in the prime of life, so naturally he is not afraid, but the king does not have a prince, how is this unworthy?"
These words were like a thunderbolt hitting my head. My hands and feet were so cold that I almost couldn't hold Chang En.
The little guy who knew nothing was babbling carefree in my arms, but my ears kept making a buzzing sound.
Hu Min saw that I had a bad look on my face, but did not stop to say: "Queen, you are the mother of a country. Is there a king in the world with a harem like our king?"
No, absolutely not.
Even when Qi Xuan was the prince, he had three concubines around him, let alone others.
I finally found my voice and said, "Master Hu, do you want me to start a draft?"
Hu Min probably knew that this was a bit excessive, and said dryly: "In fact, there is no need for a draft... just recruit a concubine to give birth to a son for the king... I am not cursing the queen for not having a son, but... I just want Xia Guo
I just have someone to rely on in the future, Queen, do you understand what I mean?"
Looking at Hu Min's upright face, I swallowed the sadness in my heart. How could I not understand? In fact, even if Hu Min didn't say anything, I would have realized it myself.
