The emperor ignored the minister. He had a lot of troubles at home, so why bother with him?

At this time, Prime Minister Jiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

This old fellow is cunning and never speaks on his own initiative, but as soon as he opens his mouth he starts talking about establishing a queen. He also says that without a queen there can be no crown prince, and without a crown prince the country will be unstable.

The emperor said nothing and looked at Prime Minister Jiang coldly.

Do you think he is dead, old man?

He has only been on the throne for less than two years, and he is in his prime. He will definitely live longer than the Jiang family. But they are so impatient...

The emperor stared at Prime Minister Jiang for a long while, and suddenly asked, "Do you have any candidates for Prime Minister?"

Prime Minister Jiang shook his head: "The matter of establishing a queen is of great importance, and it is up to Your Majesty to decide."

That being said, the emperor saw his wolfish ambitions and wanted to make the decision for him...

"So Prime Minister Jiang knew..."

The emperor sneered and turned away.

Eunuch Li glanced at Prime Minister Jiang and followed the Emperor.

When the late emperor was alive, these aristocratic families were like this. Now that Your Majesty is here, they are going even further. What about legitimate sons and illegitimate sons? He thinks these aristocratic families are deliberately doing this. They want more power to suppress Your Majesty.

The emperor was in a bad mood as soon as he left court.

Just after breakfast, Xiao Fuzi came in to report that Empress Defei had arrived.

Defei, daughter of Prime Minister Jiang.

What are you doing here at this time?

The emperor was very curious to see what the father and daughter were up to.

…

After An Jiu was awakened by the emperor, he didn't sleep anymore.

She went out to eat something first.

Aunt Qu and the others were still drying clothes for the emperor. An Jiu went over to take a look. Every piece of the emperor's clothes was very gorgeous, but unfortunately they were either yellow or black, or blue. None of them were pink, which the emperor liked.

At this time, Xiaoqiu came over to get hot water to make tea.

"Who's coming?" Aunt Qu asked.

Xiao Qiu said, "Mrs. Defei."

Concubine De?

Everyone was stunned.

The emperor didn't like going to the harem very much, and concubines seldom came.

An Jiu asked curiously, "What does Consort De look like? I haven't seen her yet."

Xiao Qiu said: "She is very pretty, a real lady from a noble family, with such beauty and grace, there is nothing to fault with her."

Now An Jiu was even more curious.

Not only Anjiu, but also the other little palace maids had never seen it.

Aunt Qu smiled and said to An Jiu, "If you are curious, go and have a look."

Maybe I'll be your sister in the future...

An Jiu nodded and followed Xiao Qiu into the main hall.

The emperor seemed to be painting, with a gorgeously dressed beauty standing behind him. The two of them occasionally said something, and the emperor would smile.

Handsome men and beautiful women.

This picture is particularly harmonious and beautiful.

An Jiu couldn't help but lighten his footsteps, not wanting to disturb this beautiful scene.

However, such a beautiful scene was soon destroyed by the emperor.

[Why are you standing so close to me?] 】

What's so good about the painting? I hate drawing the most. 】

[And what’s wrong with Concubine De? Her eyes and mouth look exactly like Prime Minister Jiang’s. 】

The emperor seemed to think of the time when Prime Minister Jiang looked at him earlier, with a half-smile, a look as if he was looking at a fool...

It actually overlaps perfectly with Concubine De.

The emperor felt uncomfortable all over.

[It's true, my daughter takes after her father.] 】

[What's the difference between me kissing her in the future and marrying Prime Minister Jiang? 】

The emperor felt extremely horrified.

An Jiu was originally complaining about the dog emperor and the dog straight man who didn't understand romance, but after hearing his analysis, although he had never met Prime Minister Jiang, he could deeply empathize with the emperor.

Concubine De had a good temperament, good looks, spoke softly, and every part of her body was exquisite.

The emperor had no eyes for the beauty, he just moved his body awkwardly.

What is she talking about? This painting is just something I drew casually, how can there be any deep meaning behind it? 】

【hypocritical. 】

[She speaks as hypocritically as her father.] 】

An Jiu is a little in love with Concubine De. Concubine De probably racked her brains to figure out why the emperor didn't like her just because he didn't like her father...

De Fei said in a gentle tone, "As for the New Year's banquet in the palace, I will discuss it with Sister Shu Fei."

The emperor waved his hand: "You decide."

“No, I’ll take my leave.” Defei was proud, and seeing that the emperor was perfunctory, she left without any reluctance.

【Finally leaving. 】

Xiaoqiu made tea, and the emperor took a sip, then he saw Anjiu beside him. He hooked his finger and said, "Come here."

An Jiu regretted coming to watch the fun.

This requires overtime.

Wouldn’t it be good to sleep a little longer?

She came over.

Seeing that the emperor looked unhappy, Xiao Qiu gave An Jiu a look that said "May luck be with you" and left.

They were the only two left in the hall.

Emperor: "Tell me, what happened last night? Why did I put the box of gold ingots in your room?"

An Jiu told her what happened last night. Of course, she didn't say a word about the tyrant kissing her.

The emperor frowned slightly after hearing this.

[Do these two people have any serious illness? 】

[Not sleeping in the middle of the night, running to the top of the mountain to enjoy the cold wind? 】

An Jiu: "..."

Yes, if you are sick, I will treat you.

The emperor lost interest after hearing nothing special and waved his hand to let An Jiu go down.

Before An Jiu left, he heard his voice.

What's wrong with my mouth? Is it really popular? Why does it look more and more like someone is biting you? 】

An Jiu quickened his pace and walked out the door.

The sun is shining brightly outside, but it is winter after all. When the wind blows, it is freezing cold.

She wrapped her clothes tightly and walked towards her residence.

Because of the reform of the imperial kitchen, An Jiu rarely cooks for the emperor recently, unless the emperor wants to add a meal or something, tyrant...

He used to eat without caring about anything.

But he suddenly said last night that he wanted to go to the imperial kitchen?

Why is this?

An Jiu couldn't figure it out for a moment, and then he thought of the tyrant's behavior last night, and he got another headache.

She saw the small quilt placed on the bed again, and recalled the miserable look of the tyrant last night.

He sighed, walked out of the door, and went to find Aunt Qu to get a quilt.

When Aunt Qu heard the purpose of the visit, she immediately took out the key. This time she did not go to the ordinary warehouse, but directly brought a thick and large quilt whose material was obviously not cheap.

An Jiu: "..."

She pointed at the pattern on the quilt and said, "Aunt, this big bug with long claws looks a bit like a dragon?"

Aunt Qu smiled and said, "No, it doesn't look like it. This is a dragon."

Aunt Qu patted the quilt and said, "Your Majesty is of noble status, he is not used to covering himself with ordinary quilts."

An Jiu: "..."

He's quite used to it, really.

"Aunt, look at me, look at me."

Aunt Qu asked in a low voice: "Aren't you just giving it to His Majesty? Don't be shy, I understand."

An Jiu: "..."

No, auntie, you don't understand.

"Aunt, it would be bad if someone saw me, so please give me an ordinary quilt." An Jiu insisted.

Aunt Qu went in to choose and picked a quilt that looked very ordinary, but Anjiu still didn't think it was good. She liked cotton and didn't like satin.

However, Aunt Qu was very persistent.

An Jiu had no choice but to compromise.

She sighed, as if Aunt Qu had misunderstood that she and the emperor had an improper relationship...

No, no misunderstanding...

An Jiu licked his lips subconsciously.

She and the emperor really had an improper relationship between men and women.

Who would kiss a man and a woman like that? ! !
