Chu Younan was overwhelmed by what he heard.

To be honest, he had never thought that the matter of pouring night incense was so important before, and this boy was quite interesting. Although he was just a night incense pourer, he could talk freely when he met the emperor. It must be said that he was a talent.

But Su Bei thought differently.

There are so many night-time concubines in the palace, which shows how many people are kept. In fact, a large number of them are idle. The key point is that Chu Younan has no intention of recruiting more concubines, and Su Bei has no intention of letting her recruit more concubines.

Wouldn't it be possible to save a lot of money by streamlining some of the staff? Well, my thoughts have gone a little off track, so let's first examine the case of this kid's night fragrance car.

Su Bei picked up the handkerchief he handed over. The pattern on it was very familiar. She thought about it carefully and thought that she must have seen it on Bei Shijing's clothes when she was young. It was probably a kind of flower unique to the north.

"It's hard to catch this thief in a short time, but you have made an attack." Su Bei said slowly, "What kind of reward do you want?"

Gold? Silver? But Song Gui's request surprised Su Bei.

"I want a brand new night-scented carriage so that I can continue to pour night-scented incense for the palace!" Song Gui was as excited as a child.

Well, everyone has their own aspirations...

Chu Younan agreed immediately and gave Song Gui a reward of one hundred taels of silver.

Although he was not given the title of Yexiang official, Song Gui was still very satisfied. After all, one hundred taels of silver was something he could never earn in his entire life.

After he left, Su Bei quickly pulled Chu Younan to move to another position.

The key point is the smell on Song Gui's body, which is really lingering. She always feels that the imperial study seems to be smelly.

But Chu Younan had a different understanding. "Are you sure you want me to go to Kunning Palace in broad daylight?"

"Or we can go to the Yangxin Palace!" Su Bei hadn't reacted yet.

It doesn't matter where we go, Chu Younan is so anxious that he has the wrong idea.

The imperial physician looked at the pills he left behind and said that the main function of the pills was contraception. Chu Younan was a little unhappy.

In his opinion, a woman who is unwilling to bear children for a man probably doesn't love him enough.

Plus, Su Bei was so impatient, could it be that she was greedy for his body? But he was obviously thinking the wrong thing, and when he left the imperial study, the cool breeze blew, and Su Bei's pace slowed down.

"Oh, that smell. I really don't understand why Song Gui loves Dao Yexiang so much? And, you said Bei Yanming is the Underworld Emperor, but he can actually lower himself to pretend to be Dao Yexiang. How much must he love Bei Danzhu?" Su Bei started to gossip.

Chu Younan said absentmindedly: "Maybe he loves this little daughter especially."

"But Bei Yanming doesn't seem like a crazy doting daughter. I heard that he has more than one daughter, right?"

"Maybe Bei Danzhu has some outstanding qualities?" Chu Younan was still absent-minded.

Su Bei muttered, "Except for a good figure and good looks, I don't see anything special about her. I just see that she is unruly and willful..."

As she was talking, she suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "Oh right! Princess Li wants to see me today, I have to go see her!"

Su Bei said as he ran away...

Forget it, this time I don’t even want to be greedy…

Chu Younan was depressed.

Speaking of Prince Li, Su Bei had actually heard of him when he was in Tongcheng. At that time, Yue Hongcai boasted that his uncle was a relative of some relative of Prince Li...

King Li himself had passed away a long time ago. The current King Li is hereditary and is the grandson of the old King Li.

Prince Li is a lazy prince who never attends court and is a low-key person, so he has no sense of existence at all.

So Su Bei was quite surprised when Princess Li suddenly asked for a meeting.

Princess Li looked like she was in her forties, which puzzled Su Bei. Prince Li seemed to be only in his twenties, so how could he marry a princess who was so much older than him?

As soon as Princess Li came in, she greeted him without any formalities and went straight to the point.

"Can I ask the Queen to issue an order to give Prince Li a few concubines?"

Su Bei was stunned for a moment. Women in ancient times were supposed to be virtuous and kind, but this was a bit too much. She went through a lot of effort to enter the palace, only to ask for a concubine for Prince Li?

"This...can you tell me why?" Su Bei wondered.

Princess Li sighed, "Your Majesty, how old do you think I am?"

Su Bei was a little embarrassed, so he tried to downplay it: "In my opinion, she is only thirty years away from being the princess..."

"I am twenty-two this year..."

When Princess Li said this, Su Bei was instantly shocked. What could she have experienced to age like this?

"But I already have five sons and four daughters..." Princess Li continued.

Su Bei was even more shocked, "This, this, this... is it a bastard's son or daughter?"

Of course, even if she gave birth to one child a year, and even if Princess Li could give birth at the age of fifteen, she could only have seven children at most! Princess Li shook her head, "All of them were born to me..."

Su Bei's eyes widened instantly. She had never heard of a woman who could get pregnant so easily...

"Are they twins?" she couldn't help but gossip.

Princess Li said: "The eldest son is a singleton, but the second son and the eldest daughter are twins..."

Anyway, generally speaking, she gives birth once a year...

"It's also my body's fault. As long as I sleep with Your Majesty, I will definitely get pregnant..." Princess Li sighed.

I really don’t know if Xue Jinrong would want to beat Princess Li to death if he knew about this.

I can’t get pregnant with the one I want, but I try my best to get pregnant with the one I don’t want.

"Ah, this... In fact, giving birth to a baby is very harmful to your health." Su Bei said angrily.

Princess Li nodded, "Yes! So I want Your Majesty to give Prince Li a few concubines, otherwise I'm afraid my body won't last much longer..."

As she spoke, she coughed...

In fact, there was no need for her to put on this attitude. Su Bei could already see that she was seriously injured.

"Doesn't Prince Li have a concubine?" Su Bei was gossiping again.

Princess Li sighed again, "I am deeply loved by the prince, and he has always been reluctant to take a concubine, but my body is really unable to bear the heavy burden..."

Show affection! Show affection nakedly!

If those who have concubines at home heard this, they would probably want to beat her to death!

But her poor health was visible to the naked eye.

Su Bei whispered: "Aren't there some ways? For example, fish bladder..."

"The prince can't use that thing because he says it smells very fishy..." Princess Li blushed.

What are these two discussing?

Su Bei thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right! King Zunyi has a medicine that not only prevents pregnancy but also improves your appearance. Go ask him for some."

Princess Li's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is there really such a medicine? I've never heard of it! As long as he is willing to sell it, any price will do!"

Su Bei saw light and silver in her eyes.

That’s right, with a miracle doctor like Su Xiujie by her side, why can’t she open a clinic to make money?

The national treasury is so empty, and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is like burning money. It's time to use Su Xiujie.
