Chapter 757: One More Job

After directly appointing the three beauties as concubines, Zhou Xu turned back to the imperial study and continued to deal with the work at hand.

The matter of enthroning a concubine was like a trivial episode to him and did not have much impact on him.

Two days later, Silk, who had helped Zhou Xu sort out the documents as usual, hesitated for a moment and then began to report with some headache.

"Your Majesty, these past few days people have been asking which concubine you slept with."

Zhou Xu chuckled when he heard this.

He could guess who was asking with just his toenails, but the reality was that he hadn't been to anyone's place in the past two days.

The workload has been quite heavy these past two days. After finishing his work during the day, he was very sleepy at night and just wanted to sleep. Another reason was that the three concubines had just moved in and the bedrooms were still being cleaned up.

"Are they all settled?"

"It's settled."

Silk nodded.

"Your Majesty, are you going to rest with one of your concubines tonight?"

Silk has been here for such a long time, so he naturally has some idea about some of the things going on here.

At the same time, he thought there was nothing wrong with it. Human life was indeed short. If their Majesty needed to train an heir, it would have to be done as soon as possible.

Regarding this issue, Zhou Xu's mood was a bit delicate at the moment.

Before he traveled through time, he had a rich emotional experience, but basically with every girlfriend, he would date her for a while before moving on to the next step. It was all about gradual progress.

Now that this process has been skipped, he feels a little uncomfortable.

But that’s all…

[Considering future generations, Li Qin'er is undoubtedly a better choice, but...]

With his mind racing, Zhou Xu spoke up to confirm.

"The father of Concubine De was the Minister of War in the old dynasty. He is now the Minister of the Military and Political Affairs Department in the New World, right?"

Silk, who had just investigated the three beauties, had a clear memory and nodded quickly.

"Yes."

"Well, let's go to Concubine De's place tonight."

“…”

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, news that His Majesty had favored Concubine De first quietly spread from the palace.

What does this mean? It means that among the three concubines, the emperor prefers Concubine De!

Upon hearing the news, Minister Li, who is now in charge of the military and political department of the New World and the biological father of Concubine De, became extremely excited and walked with a breeze all day long.

During this period, many officials from the old dynasty congratulated him privately and even established relationships with him, which made Minister Li even more proud.

At the same time, the other two people naturally felt complicated, and Li Bowen's eyes were filled with thoughtfulness.

For some officials, which concubine the emperor favored became the most important news.

But what was unexpected was that on the second and third days, their Majesty did not favor anyone and slept directly in his own bedroom. It was not until the fourth day that he went to the palace of Concubine Xian.

On the seventh day, it was finally Concubine Shu Li Qin'er's turn...

Today is the day for court attendance. Since he has added a morning exercise of Tai Chi, Zhou Xu wakes up earlier than usual. Now he doesn't need anyone to call him, as his precise biological clock has already made him open his eyes on time.

At the same time, outside the bedroom, the palace maid waiting there knocked on the door on time.

"Your Majesty, it's time to prepare for court."

In the past, this matter was handled by his personal soldiers. However, since there were female relatives in the harem, it was no longer appropriate for the personal soldiers to continue to be in charge of this matter. Therefore, the palace has recently recruited a group of suitable palace maids.

The noise here woke up Li Qin'er who was sleeping soundly. After rubbing her eyes, Li Qin'er woke up in a daze. When she saw Zhou Xu lying beside her, her pretty face suddenly blushed and she reacted.

"Your Majesty, I will help you change your clothes right away."

As she spoke, Li Qiner was about to stand up.

As a result, the next second, the tearing pain made her freeze on the spot, and her face turned slightly pale.

Zhou Xu saw this scene.

"Well, if you're not feeling well, just lie down and take a rest."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As he spoke, Zhou Xu had already put on his clothes and stood up.

His daily schedule is quite tight, especially on the days when he has to attend court, he has no time to waste.

In the court, Zhou Xu could feel that many ministers were secretly looking at him, especially his three cheap fathers-in-law, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After the morning court session ended, a group of ministers led by Li Bowen slowly walked out of the court hall. During this time, Li Bowen couldn't help but show a hint of admiration on his face.

Originally according to his idea, His Majesty, who had never taken wives and concubines before, would probably indulge in the pleasures of life and neglect state affairs for a while after having three concubines. The foolish emperor Yan Sheng was a typical example of a king who indulged in music and dance all day and never attended court early in the morning.

But their Majesty was completely beyond his imagination.

The existence of the three concubines was like one more job for their majesty. He favored one concubine every three days, without any bias or indulgence.

Is it really just for the sake of having an outstanding descendant for the Great Zhou?

Thinking of this, Li Bowen couldn't help but feel complicated.

From the perspective of a minister, with such an emperor who is diligent in government and not addicted to women, how can they worry about the Great Zhou not being strong? ! But from the perspective of Concubine Shu Li Qin'er's biological father, Li Bowen couldn't help but sigh.

With such a husband, she didn't know what would happen to her precious daughter in the future.

In the busy work, time passed quietly, seasons changed, and with the temperature gradually dropping, they finally bid farewell to the hot summer and ushered in the harvest season.

This is an important season for the New World, because this is their first real harvest since the famine broke out! Zhou Xu couldn't help but show a hint of joy when he received the latest harvest report from the agricultural department.

This wave of harvest basically met his expectations.

Of course, this does not represent the food production capacity of the New World, and they still need to transport food from the Old World.

If we want to truly restore the grain production capacity here, we still have to wait and see next year’s spring plowing and autumn harvest.

However, this wave of harvest will allow Zhou Xu to free up a lot of transportation capacity to invest in other projects. This is the main reason for his joy.

Now we are rushing to make new arrangements for the labor force on the Old Continent.

At the same time, a carriage drove into Xianyang City...

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be additional updates after 10:30 today 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
