Yongning Palace.

"Haha, I'm stupid again."

"Give me the money, give me the money."

The Queen Mother pushed the mahjong away proudly.

Ning Que pretended to sigh and took out the money obediently.

"It's still more fun to play mahjong with Xiao Ning."

“Not only can you win money, but you can also win comfort.”

"Mrs. Gu came a few days ago, but she didn't know the rules."

"hey-hey."

Ning Que smiled proudly.

Those who often play ball with their leaders will know this.

The leader must win, but not too easily.

Be a little more confrontational and look a little embarrassed.

Hanging it on the left doesn't work, and hanging it on the right doesn't work either.

Then we can only adjust it upwards!

Emperor Feng sat next to him, feeling a little awkward.

He just learned how to play today.

I just think mahjong is very boring.

He has never liked gambling.

"Emperor, you should relax more often."

"I heard that you didn't eat on time again."

“It’s right to want to make some political achievements.”

"But if you starve yourself, the gains will be more than you gain."

"The Queen came to complain two days ago."

"She said you haven't been to her place for half a month."

"Emperor, do you want to end your lineage?"

“…”

Even the Emperor had to nod obediently.

Ning Que sat beside him, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

You have come to this day too!

He used to be by my side giving me advice.

I didn’t expect that there would be times when I was forced to give birth.

"And you, Xiaoning."

"You have inherited the title of king, so it's time to find a queen."

"Without Lin Xianhong, you won't marry and have children?"

"How is it possible..."

"Ahem." Emperor Feng spoke with a guilty conscience, whispering, "Mother, I have found a good match for him. A princess from Xiliang. This will also facilitate an alliance between our two countries."

“Nonsense!”

The Queen Mother frowned and reprimanded, "The people of Xiliang are all barbarians. How can they be the consort of Prince Ning? The Ning Palace has made great sacrifices for the sake of Dafeng. How can they sacrifice Xiao Ning's marriage? Even if you are the Emperor, you cannot act so recklessly."

"I……"

Emperor Feng was suddenly speechless.

Do they have a choice?

The most ruthless is the imperial family!

They are not entitled to pursue what they like.

Including him, it is also for the national interest.

His queen was the Princess of Lu.

King Lu was one of the kings of different surnames.

He and the King of Qi have always been at odds.

He married the Princess of Lu as a statement.

At the same time, it was also to win over the King of Lu and deal with the King of Qi.

"Mother, the Princess of Xiliang is quite good." Emperor Feng forced a smile and raised his hand, saying, "She has been learning the etiquette of Dafeng since she was young, and can speak elegantly and understand the rules. As an envoy from Xiliang, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and is heroic and valiant. She is the perfect match for Prince Ning's consort."

"Is that so?"

The Queen Mother finally became interested.

She looked at Ning Que.

"Xiao Ning, what do you think?"

"..." Ning Que looked helpless and said bitterly, "Our opinion on this matter doesn't count. We have to wait for the King of Xiliang's approval. I heard that the King of Xiliang loves this princess very much."

"There's no rush."

The Queen Mother picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of hot tea.

"Emperor, it's up to you."

"good."

They reshuffled the deck and took the cards.

The Empress Dowager looked at the cards and continued, "Emperor, I heard that you dismissed Lin Xianhong from his post today?"

"Yes."

Emperor Feng was about to explain when the Empress Dowager waved her hand. She looked at him and said softly, "You are the Lord of Dafeng. You should make the decision yourself. You don't need to tell me. Lin Xianhong was stupid and blind. She deserved this fate."

"Thank you, Mother."

"I am old too." The Queen Mother smiled. "Now I just want to entertain my grandchildren. You two should work hard and give me some big, fat grandchildren as soon as possible."

"Ahem, then my royal brother has to work hard."

"You..."

Emperor Feng had no choice but to hold his forehead.

Over the years, only Ning Que dared to make fun of him.

They played mahjong with the Queen Mother.

We had lunch afterwards.

The two of them then walked out of Yongning Palace.

The Queen Mother now dislikes government affairs.

Don't ever mention it in front of her.

The old lady just wanted to bring glory to the royal family.

Either they urge you to get married or they urge you to have children.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager wanted to take a nap, Emperor Feng hurried away.

"Come, sit here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Huh? Privately, I call you Emperor Brother."

"Thank you very much, my Royal Brother."

Ning Que sat in the water pavilion, looking at Cangchi.

"The King of Qi has suffered a great loss this time."

"This old fox will definitely not give up easily."

"In my opinion, I'm afraid it will leave a mess behind."

"Yes." Ning Que nodded in agreement, raising his hand and saying, "So the county officials we send over must be capable and competent. Censor Ouyang Zheng is a good candidate, and we can also bring some students from the Six Arts Academy to form a basic team. Most of these students have not been corrupted by officialdom and are full of enthusiasm. They may not be capable, but their character is impeccable."

Ouyang Zheng also graduated from the Six Arts.

During his five years in office, he impeached hundreds of officials.

Therefore, he was not well-received in the court.

Once, Emperor Feng wanted to renovate the imperial palace, which would cost him three hundred thousand taels of silver. As a result, Ouyang Zheng criticized him, and his words were so harsh that the emperor could not leave the throne.

Emperor Feng was furious and threatened to expel him from the court. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Zheng was even more resolute. He immediately stripped off his crown, belt, and red robes, and angrily denounced Emperor Feng as a ruler who had ruined the country. He had just ascended to the throne, yet he was already wasting the people's money and indulging in pleasure.
