[It’s high, really high.]
[Tyrant Godfather, I didn't expect you to be such a scoundrel and act like a scoundrel.]
[If you were born in modern times, you would definitely be a movie star, maybe even win an Oscar!]
Su Qiqi gave the emperor a thumbs up.
The emperor was very puzzled.
What does "Best Actor" mean? Is he a type of emperor? And what about that "Arrogant" card? Is he that powerful? This little guy really has a lot of secrets in his head.
Seeing the emperor frowning and not speaking, everyone thought he was angry, so they could only kneel down obediently and dared not say anything more.
After a while, the emperor said impatiently: "Alright, alright, do as I say."
After saying that, he hugged Su Qiqi and left irritably.
"Withdraw from the court——"
Zhao Xu yelled at the top of his lungs and quickly chased after him.
Going straight back to the imperial study, the emperor placed Su Qiqi in the cradle, covered her with a cloak to keep her warm, then sat back at the desk and began to review memorials.
The first few memorials were relatively normal, reporting on the situation in various places, greetings, and good news...
Afterwards, several memorials were submitted in succession requesting the emperor to select a concubine as soon as possible.
The emperor became more and more upset as he read on, and finally he couldn't help it and threw the memorial in his hand away.
The loud noise startled the dozing Su Qiqi so much that she shuddered all over.
"This Xu Shihai is always thinking about urging me to participate in the selection. I think he is really obsessed with women!"
[Xu Shihai? Oh, that henpecked wimp!]
[I remember in the original story, the imperial concubine was framed and tragically killed in the cold palace. The tyrant was filled with regret and his temper became increasingly erratic. To please the emperor, Xu Shihai sent three women who resembled the imperial concubine into the palace. At that time, the tyrant would stare at those women and cry every night.]
[The Emperor hasn't agreed to the selection yet. Furthermore, the Imperial Concubine is still alive and well. Logically, the tyrant shouldn't bother with those stand-ins...right?]
Su Qiqi looked at the emperor suspiciously, and with a quick glance, she looked him up and down, as if she were thinking about something.
There was a cold look in the emperor's eyes.
What a good guy Xu Shihai is, he actually put those evil ideas on him!
And she even intended to send a fake to him to take away his favor from Mingyue? That was simply wishful thinking!
"Zhao Xu, go to the Jiaofangsi and pick out ten beautiful musicians and dancers, and personally send them to Xu Shihai's home!"
"ah?"
Zhao Xu was confused and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want those women to help you? Then I will definitely choose some loyal ones."
"No,"
The emperor shook his head, his thin lips curled up into a wicked smile. "Pick the type who likes to stir up trouble and is full of ambition. I want to see how Master Xu, with his many concubines, can keep his backyard stable!"
Su Qiqi just said that Xu Shihai is henpecked.
He was the king of a country, and Xu Shihai had no right to refuse the beauty he gave to him.
Xu Shihai was even so grateful that he treated those women to good food and drink.
Among ten beauties, there is always one who is restless.
By then, the concubine and the wife will quarrel, fighting for favor today, slandering and framing tomorrow, and fighting for power and wealth the day after tomorrow...
There will be no peace every day, and Xu Shihai will have a lot to do then.
Just thinking about it made him feel relieved. The emperor couldn't help but smile complacently.
Zhao Xu felt terrified. It had been ages since he'd seen the Emperor smile so sinisterly.
Zhao Xu swallowed and asked tentatively in a low voice, "Emperor, how should I convey this message to Lord Zhao?"
The emperor said coldly, "Just say that those beauties were carefully selected by me and given to him specifically. Tell him to make sure they are well taken care of and enjoyed, and to make sure they have more children for his Xu family!"
"...Yes." Zhao Xu responded and turned to walk out.
"Wait! Zhao Xu, do you still remember which officials advised me to select concubines today?" asked the emperor.
Zhao Xu nodded. "I remember. There's Lord Xu, the Minister of Rites, Lord Zhang, the Left Censor, and..."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "For every official who advises me to select a concubine, I will give him five beautiful and considerate courtesans, dancers, and palace maids. I will let them enjoy the blessing of being together!"
Su Qiqi looked at the emperor with a strange look:
【Tyrant, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. 】
[You gave away ten concubines at once. How generous of you!]
But can those officials handle the workload? Are they sure they won't be drained dry? Are they sure they won't die of exhaustion?
emperor:"……"
"I understand. I'll make the arrangements right away."
Zhao Xu hurriedly followed the emperor's instructions and ran to the Jiaofangsi to select people.
That afternoon, hundreds of young and beautiful women were sent out of the palace.
Gentle, charming, quiet, well-behaved, lively, cute, taciturn...
Everything you need.
Inside Xu Mansion:
Xu Shihai was incredulous. "Eunuch Zhao, are you saying... these women were all given by the Emperor?"
"Oh, Master Xu, how dare I lie to you? The Emperor said that you must treat these girls well, let them carry on the Xu family and cultivate pillars of the country."
Zhao Xu said, looking at the girls behind him: "Why don't you pay your respects to Master Xu? From now on, you will be members of the Xu Mansion. Don't forget the emperor's instructions. You must serve Master Xu well and give birth to a child for him as soon as possible."
"yes."
The ten girls knelt slightly and saluted.
There was a brave one who even flirted with Xu Shihai.
On the side, Xu Shihai's wife, Gong, was so angry that she gritted her teeth and pinched her palms with her nail polish-painted nails.
She glared at Xu Shihai fiercely, as if waiting for Xu Shihai to come up with an explanation.
