However, if the offer is too high, the important ministers in the court will definitely have objections, and the people in the harem...

"Come on."

"exist."

"Invite several ministers to visit you."

"Yes."

After all the accompanying ministers had arrived, he slowly spoke, "I believe you have all investigated today's matter?"

Several ministers raised their hands and said, "I dare not spy on the emperor."

"Hmph." He sneered, "Don't you dare?"

He threw the fold in his hand forward, sat up straight, and said simply: "The first time I was ambushed, she saved me, and the second time, it was her too."

"She saved me twice, and I want to give her a concubine position."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers standing below knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

Qian Shangshu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, she really deserves a generous reward for saving His Majesty, but is a concubine position too heavy?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine position is a first-class concubine. Now there is only Concubine De in the palace who holds the concubine position. Concubine De is full of loyal people. Her father and brothers in the family have all made great contributions to our court. When she entered the palace, she was only a second-class concubine. instrument.

Now this girl from the Tu family, her father is just a county magistrate. He has been in this position for more than ten years. He is really helpless with the country and the country. The girl Tu herself has no achievements with the heirs, so she was first named Concubine Bi De. My dear, this..."

"I'm afraid this will chill the hearts of the ladies in the palace and the Duke of Zhen who once fought on the battlefield!" At this time, Zuodu Yushi also stood up.

They all have daughters in the palace. After so many years, they are only second-grade concubines.

Now a person suddenly comes and wants to step on his daughter's head from the very beginning?

Si Chao had a sullen face, "You mean, my life is not worth a concubine?"

"Of course not." At this time, the Minister of Rites, Zuo Shilang, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we wait for the concubine to be concubine first, and then seal her after the queen is pregnant, so that everyone can stop talking."

The right governor censor: "Yes, Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty has made a great contribution to the rescue. Being a second-grade concubine is not considered a disgrace. You can also reward her father and brother. When your Majesty gives birth to an heir, no one will think that she is unworthy of her virtue." Bit."

"What's more..."

"Tell me, why are you hesitating?"

"What's more, your father seems to be involved in the Wen thief incident back then..."

"I have found out this matter clearly. He is just a disciple of Wen Fu's disciple. When he was taking the imperial examination, Wen Fu had already executed him. This matter has nothing to do with him."

Over the years, no matter who they are, anyone who has anything to do with Wen Fu can be separated as soon as possible.

The ministers speculated on the superior's intentions, and people like Tu Zhao who had no big background and had some connections with the Wen family suffered.

Several of Tu Zhao's classmates were in the position of county magistrate, and they stayed there for more than ten years.

There are also some who have never been assigned an official position after passing the imperial examination.

These people kept saying that Si Chao always frowned.

In the end, there was some back and forth between the two parties, and he reluctantly settled on the concubine's position, then turned around and issued another imperial edict, promoting Tu Zhao as the magistrate of Dingzhou.

Several ministers looked at each other in confusion, and finally looked at Si Chao's face and did not dare to say anything.

After deciding what to do, he walked into the courtyard where Tu Qingyu was resting.

Seeing that the palace people were guarding outside the courtyard, he frowned and asked, "Why aren't you waiting inside?"

"Return to Your Majesty." The maid knelt down and saluted, "The Queen said she was going to sleep and didn't like the slaves waiting inside, so she asked the slaves to come out."

"Then can she have dinner?"

"This……"

The maids were a little hesitant, but with a look from Si Chao, they immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I used some, but not much."

"Go down and get the kitchen ready, make something tasty and fragrant, and serve it."

"Yes."

It was already dark, and there was only one candle burning in the room.

When he opened the bead curtain and entered the inner room, Tu Qingyu was lying on her side on the bed, with the thin quilt covering her body.

He bent down and pulled the quilt closer, "The weather is not very warm today, you should catch a cold like this."

Tu Qingyu didn't respond. He sat by the bed and looked at her blinking eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"How do you want to forgive me?" After a long time, he spoke in a low voice.

Tu Qingyu sat up and looked directly at him. Under the dim candlelight, her eyes were full of seriousness.

"Let me go back, okay?"

"Yes." He nodded.

Her eyes lit up immediately, "Are you serious?"

"I have already asked someone to draft the imperial edict of canonization. You must receive the edict at home." His voice was gentle but could not be criticized. "After the edict is issued, we will leave this place in a few days. You can say goodbye to your family properly."

After that, he wanted to reach out and smooth her hair that was messed up due to sleep.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, she slapped it down and said, "Don't touch me."

She seemed very angry, her eyes were full of fire.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the back of his hand that was patted, "In the past, you wouldn't have spoken so harshly."

"The Holy One was joking. How long have we known each other? What about the past?"

"I remember you said that you wanted three letters and six etiquette, and you would be married by a clear matchmaker. I can't give you these when you go back to the palace, but we can hold a wedding here. You will always be my wife in my heart."

But in the future, he will definitely make her his real wife.

Live in the same quilt, die in the same hole.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, "It's not like we are really married. What do we do with this false thing? It's just deceiving ourselves."

After saying that, she lay down and said, "I am tired, Your Majesty, please rest early."

"Wait a minute, I heard that you didn't use much for dinner today. Get up and eat some before going to bed."

"I can't eat it."

He bent down and picked the person up.

"Ah——!" She seemed to be frightened and quickly hugged his neck, "What are you doing!"

"I'll carry you to eat."

"I said, I won't eat!"

"Eat a little, and then I won't bother you anymore. I'll let someone take you home tomorrow."

As soon as she heard that she was going home, she stopped struggling.

His eyes dimmed, his thoughts turned over and over again, and in the end he said nothing.

After the food was served, he personally served the rice and picked the vegetables.

The people standing around and waiting were breaking out in a cold sweat. Seeing that the people who were serving and those being served looked ordinary, they were even more frightened.

"That day at the restaurant, I saw that you prefer these dishes with stronger flavors. There is a cook in the palace who is very good at cooking. I will set up a small kitchen in your palace and transfer the cook from the Food and Beverage Department."

She lowered her head and ate without saying a word. When she was almost done eating, she put down the chopsticks in her hand.

"I'm really well."

"Okay, then you have a good rest and we will set off back tomorrow."

He stood up, seemed to have thought of something, and spoke again, "I have promoted your father to the magistrate of Dingzhou. When the imperial edict is issued, he will take office immediately. Then I will visit your parents."
