Chapter 116 Dismissing the Harem
"What?"
Liu Zhiyuan turned his head and saw some familiar objects.
"Why are you moving my things?"
"My beloved concubine is so smart, can't you see what I mean?"
Liu Zhiyuan choked.
Dog Emperor, I’m not wrong to call you a dog!
"Act first and ask for permission later, huh? Do you think burning down Zining Palace will be helpful? I can turn back time to this morning."
Everything will return to normal by then.
Xiao Yu, "..."
It doesn't matter. Burning the house is just a word from me. You can cast a spell to reverse time and space and go back, and I will burn it again.
"If you move to the Yangxin Palace, I can grant the Liu family another golden medal of immunity from death."
"Didn't you give me a piece last time? I already have one at home."
"A gold medal of immunity from death can only protect one person."
Liu Zhiyuan was dumbfounded. The golden medal of immunity from death could only be used one-on-one. She thought she could protect her entire family.
"And it can only be used once."
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
It's still a disposable item.
Xiao Yu patiently persuaded him, "Your father and brother are both going to serve as officials in the court. It's easy to avoid an open attack, but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. If they are framed again one day, having the golden medal of immunity is like having an extra life."
Liu Zhiyuan hesitated.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't want to, I promise I will never touch you."
If that's the case, it doesn't seem unacceptable.
"Seriously?" She had a feeling this man had ulterior motives in going to so much trouble to get her to move in.
I won't let her go so easily.
"Sir, you can cast spells. If you don't want to, I can't force you."
That makes some sense.
"Why do you insist on having me move in here?"
"I can only fall asleep next to you. I have to go to Zining Palace every night and attend court in the morning at Jinluan Palace. It's such a waste of time. If you come and live here, I will save a lot of time."
"That's all?" Why was she so unconvinced?
"Not only that, I also have selfish motives. I've said I like you, and being closer to you will make it easier to please you and make you accept me sooner."
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
The translation roughly means that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, making it easier to pursue someone.
Why does this sound so dangerous?
The temptation of the golden medal of immunity from death is too great.
And he also said that he would not force her.
"I'll think about it."
"Yes, my dear, you can take your time to think about it. Are you hungry? Let's eat first."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it. As soon as he said it, Liu Zhiyuan felt hungry and his stomach growled.
Yes, it's a bit embarrassing.
Xiao Yu's lips curled slightly.
The two sat down. Liu Dehai stepped forward and wanted to serve Liu Zhiyuan some food, but Xiao Yu raised his hand to stop him.
He picked up the jade chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken for Liu Zhiyuan.
"Thank you." Liu Zhiyuan took a bite, his eyes were stunned at first, and then narrowed.
It’s delicious!
Sure enough, the chef who prepared the emperor's meals was different from the chef who cooked for her. His cooking skills were amazing!
Seeing that she liked it, Xiao Yu winked at Liu Dehai.
Liu Dehai nodded, understood, and immediately wrote it down. This was what Concubine Liu liked to eat.
Next, Liu Zhiyuan tasted every dish and liked every one of them very much.
Liu Dehai, “…”
Do you still need to remember it?
After dinner, Liu Zhiyuan went to take a bath.
Jinfu and Yinbao followed her over and continued to serve her.
When Liu Zhiyuan arrived at Xiao Yu's private hot spring, he was startled.
So luxurious!
Even more luxurious than her old house!
The road leading to the hot spring is paved with jade, the edge of the hot spring is white warm jade, and the stones at the bottom of the pool are all imperial green.
Jinfu and Yinbao were so surprised that they were speechless.
Liu Zhiyuan squatted down and reached out to touch the pool water. It was a hot spring, and a flowing hot spring at that.
The spring is surrounded by flowers and some precious medicinal herbs.
Jin Fu came over to help her undress, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this hot spring is only for the Emperor to enjoy, yet the Emperor lets you in to bathe. This shows how much he loves you."
Liu Zhiyuan felt that there was no need to exaggerate so much.
She has several hot spring villas at home.
It's just that her family wasn't extravagant enough to use jade to pave the road.
Yin Bao agreed with a smile, "Yes, all the plants planted here are medicinal flowers and trees. They are full of spiritual energy, and the water in the hot spring is also medicinal."
When Liu Zhiyuan entered the water, a refreshing feeling spread throughout his body.
It is indeed comfortable.
After taking a shower, Xiao Yu was reading memorials.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up and said, "Come here."
"do what?"
"Sit down and read the memorial with me."
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."
"Just accompanying me, it doesn't count as interfering in government affairs."
Liu Dehai was very considerate and had already moved the chair over and placed it next to Xiao Yu.
That's fine, she has nothing to do at night anyway.
Liu Zhiyuan sat down, looked at the thick stack of memorials, and pointed.
"Do you have to deal with so many memorials every day?"
"That's something to take care of tonight."
Dayong was plagued by internal and external troubles and was not at peace. There were many things that needed to be dealt with. There were endless memorials to be processed every day and endless ministers to meet.
Liu Zhiyuan clicked his tongue. The emperors in ancient times were like cattle and horses.
In addition to the memorials, there was also a pile of scrolls on the table, not only on the table, but also on the ground.
"What's this."
Xiao Yu wrote down his comments, closed the memorial and put it aside. While reaching for another memorial, he took a look at the scrolls.
"The concubines in the harem recorded in the book."
"So many?" Liu Zhiyuan was shocked.
Oh my god, there really are three palaces and six courtyards.
There are probably at least dozens of scrolls here.
Xiao Yu felt that this needed to be explained clearly. "These were all those ministers who were brought into the palace through the Empress Dowager. I don't know them, and I've never met them."
Liu Zhiyuan certainly knew this. Xiao Yu had once been rumored to be incompetent because he had never set foot in the harem.
"Can I take a look?" This shouldn't be a national affair.
"Look."
Liu Zhiyuan picked up a scroll and spread it out. On it was a portrait of a woman, and below it was information about her height, weight, and family background.
I don’t know him and I’m not interested.
She put it back, "What are you doing with all these scrolls?"
Could it be that he wanted to understand more and then consider which concubine's name to turn over?
Xiao Yu didn't even raise his head and continued reading the memorial.
"Take it out and see which concubines can be released from the palace first."
"Release him from the palace?" Liu Zhiyuan was even more confused.
Talking about business, Xiao Yu put down the memorial and looked at her seriously. "The situation in the court is complicated. The harem and the court are closely related. I cannot send all the concubines out of the palace at the moment. I can only select some to release first."
He held Liu Zhiyuan's hand.
It was slender and soft, just enough to fit in his palm.
"But don't worry, I promise you that I will send them all out of the palace in the future."
Liu Zhiyuan was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
"What do you mean? Why did you send them away?"
"Do you mind if there are other women in my harem?"
"I don't mind. It's none of my business. I don't mind at all."
Oh my God, is he crazy? He actually wants to disband the harem!
"Whether you mind or not is your business, but whether I have done my best is my business. Since I like you, I will protect you."
Where there are people, there will be disputes. All the women in the harem are masters of domestic fighting trained by aristocratic families.
He would not leave such a big hidden danger for Liu Zhiyuan.
Since he liked her, he would naturally let her live a happy and carefree life instead of making her live in fear and on guard every day.
"Regarding the matter of conferring the title of Queen, how about I wait until I dismiss the harem first and then hold the ceremony?"
