Xue Jinrong was also very anxious about the child, so he got up and said goodbye in a hurry.

As soon as she went out, she ran into Chu Youyang who had just suffered a setback.

Chu Youyang became angrier and angrier as he thought about Gu Rui's arrogant behavior just now. He was about to rush in to find him when he was stopped by Xue Jinrong.

"Don't go in! Let's go back home first!"

Chu Youyang stared with his eyes wide open, "Do you know how arrogant he was just now..."

"Don't say so much!" Xue Jinrong pulled him away, "Just tell me whether you want a child or not..."

Chu Youyang wilted when the child was mentioned.

Concubine Mei was naturally embarrassed to see Gu Rui, so the three of them took a look around and then went back.

Inside Kunning Palace.

Su Bei thought Gu Rui had some good ideas, but as soon as Xue Jinrong left, she sent the palace maids away, and saw Gu Rui kneeling down with a thud.

"I have something to ask of you, Her Majesty the Queen."

"If you have something to say, just say it. Hurry up and get up!" Su Bei was a little flustered. She was not used to people kneeling in front of her.

Gu Rui knelt down and refused to get up. "If you don't agree to me, I won't get up."

"If you don't get up, I won't agree to you!" Su Bei said angrily. She would not be threatened by anyone.

Gu Rui suddenly stood up, "Then if I stand up, will you agree to it? I will take it as your agreement, now you can issue the decree!"

"Tell me what's going on first." Su Bei curled his lips.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Rui said, "I would like to ask you to grant me a marriage..."

Without asking, Su Bei's eyes turned and he thought that Gu Rui must have met Concubine Mei.

She immediately squinted at him and said, "Are you okay? If I grant you this marriage, I'm afraid you will be hacked to death. Besides, it's not my turn to grant this marriage."

"Then I'll go find the emperor!" Gu Rui said as he walked out.

"Wait a minute!" Su Bei tried to explain to him patiently, "Let me ask you, do you know that this is ancient times?"

"Know."

"It's not popular for women here to remarry, especially Concubine Mei, who was the concubine of the previous emperor. Aren't you forcing her to death?"

Gu Rui seemed to calm down a bit, but the despair in his eyes was hard to conceal. "But she's only in her forties, and she's been a widow for half her life?"

"What did she say about this?" Su Bei asked.

After a moment of silence, Gu Rui said, "She didn't say anything."

"I thought you two were in love, that's why you came to me, but it turns out you were just wishful thinking!" Su Bei rolled his eyes at him.

Gu Rui rolled his eyes at her and said, "Who said I was just wishful thinking? She must be interested in me."

"That's fine. Ask her to come and tell me. I will definitely find a way for you."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Rui became anxious, "She is a woman. Besides, she is a concubine. How could she possibly tell you such a thing?"

"Then I don't care. Anyway, she hasn't expressed her opinion. I definitely can't help you with this."

"Then I won't help you find a solution!" Gu Rui said angrily.

Su Bei curled his lips and said, "Anyway, I have an idea. You should think about your lifelong event. I will think about the rest!"

"I have a great idea!"

"If there are conditions, you don't have to say it." Su Bei's attitude was firm.

Gu Rui really had nothing to say, so he turned around and left.

Su Bei turned around and locked himself in the study, and did not come out until it was dark.

Chu Younan had already gotten off work, but she still hadn't come out.

"What is the Queen busy with in the study?" Chu Younan asked Zhizi.

Gardenia whispered, "Her Majesty said there was something important and asked us not to disturb her even if the sky fell. Unless the prince or princess makes a big fuss."

Chu Younan had a feeling of being rejected. He now had both a son and a daughter, but his status had plummeted.

No, he had to show off his status today! He pushed the door and went in.

Su Bei was thinking hard with a pen in her hand, and she didn't even hear him come in. It would have been fine if she didn't hear him, but she didn't even realize that she was holding the pen upside down, and she didn't even know that she had drawn a few black beards on her face...

Chu Younan couldn't help but laughed.

Su Bei turned to look at him, with a puzzled look on his face, "What are you laughing at? I'm busy here, go back and sleep first."

"I didn't even know that you were a reincarnated cat!" Chu Younan said, going over and wiping her with his hand.

After wiping it, some of the beard disappeared and it became a full beard.

He laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

Seeing the ink on his hands, Su Bei finally understood what he was laughing at. "Why are you so annoying? I'm not going to pay attention to you. I'm going to go wash it!"

She turned and walked away angrily.

Chu Younan smiled as he read what she wrote.

In general, her handwriting was much better than before, but Chu Younan didn't recognize those characters very well. They were like radicals, and were more than half as concise as normal characters.

Just as he was watching, Su Bei came back and asked directly, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Huh?" Chu Younan was confused.

Su Bei pointed at the paper on the table, "Haven't you read it all? Tell me what you think."

It was the first time in his life that Chu Younan felt so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to admit the fact that he was illiterate, but he didn't know what Su Bei was thinking about.

"Why aren't you talking?" Su Bei asked as he walked closer to the desk.

Looking down, she discovered a clue.

She is not used to writing traditional Chinese characters, so she uses simplified Chinese characters. She can recognize half of the traditional Chinese characters, but the simplified Chinese characters are not so easy to recognize.

"Don't you know these words?" Su Bei said with a sly smile.

Chu Younan couldn't laugh anymore. "What kind of words are these? I told you to learn to write well, but you didn't listen!"

As he spoke, he tapped Su Bei on the head.

It's just that I'm angry out of shame...

Su Bei glared at him, then said, "You didn't say you didn't study hard, but you blame me. Humph!"

As she spoke, she spread out the papers on the table.

"Well, the primary problem at the moment is floods in the south and droughts in the north, and the second is the issue of the Chu family's heirs. As for floods in the south and droughts in the north, I can curse heavy rains in the south..."

Su Bei said this, covering his mouth.

This can be written about, but cannot be said, for fear that it will come true if it is said.

She quickly wrote in traditional Chinese characters on the paper: "I curse the south for no rain for a month, and the north for heavy rain for three days."

"Is this the solution? I'll see how the situation develops and continue the curse. Let's talk about the issue of the Chu family's heirs."

After she finished speaking, she wrote: "The people who curse the Chu family must give birth to two or three children every time, and their mother's milk is not enough."

Originally, these wealthy families all had wet nurses, so there wasn't much difference between having a curse and not having one.

But Chu Younan looked at her in surprise and with ill intent, "Have you forgotten that my last name is Chu too?"

Su Bei slapped his forehead, "I really forgot!"

This curse also brought her into the world. She didn't want to have another child within the next three to five years. Having a child was too damaging to her health. Even if she wanted to have one, she would have to wait a few years.

Chu Younan picked up the pen and was about to write, "This needs to be changed. I'm afraid you can't handle having two or three children at a time."

But Su Bei held his hand and said, "It's okay, no need to change it. Don't you also like to have many children? I'll give birth to a few more, so you don't have to have too many concubines."
