The male protagonist has no heir? Hurry up and get dressed, the pregnant beauty is here to fuck you

Manager Wei's voice was so loud that all the ministers in the palace could hear him.

"Your Majesty, the price of rice was five cents per catty three months ago. It started to increase slightly two months ago, and then the rate of increase suddenly increased rapidly. Now it has quadrupled the original price of rice."

The expressions of the ministers changed slightly.

I thought it would only double, but I didn’t expect it to quadruple!

It stands to reason that with the increase in shipping, there will be no shortage of grain to sell.

Who would believe that there is no mystery?

Qi Guantuo looked at the household officials and others, with a look of anger on his face, and snorted coldly.

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue wiped away their sweat and knelt down in panic to apologize.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will go and investigate immediately."

Zuo Cheng, Hube's attitude towards Qu Xinyue also became unprecedentedly humble.

"My Lady, may I ask if you have any explanation for the sudden increase in food prices?"

The other ministers also raised their heads and looked at Qu Xinyue, with no more contempt in their eyes.

Qu Xinyue knows why food prices are at a premium.

In the past life, there were continuous heavy rains in the south, and all the rice fields that were about to be filled were flooded.

Grain merchants foresaw that this year's harvest would not be good, so they stocked up on grains early and prepared to make a fortune.

Food from the south cannot enter Kyoto, and Kyoto is short of food, so the price can only be increased.

The aftermath of this incident in the previous life was that the rainy season in the south was more intense and prolonged than in previous years.

Not only was there no food harvest, but the two famous dams could not hold up and burst, causing millions of people to be displaced and become refugees.

But this happened two months later, and no one would believe her if she told it now.

On the contrary, it will cause trouble for yourself.

Qu Xinyue thought for a while and asked for advice.

"I have heard a proverb that there are clouds in the sky and rain on the ground. Recently, there have been clouds every day. I think the rainy season may be much longer than we think."

Qi Guantuo's heart moved and he asked in a deep voice.

"Does Yue'er suspect that some people saw that the rainy season will be extended and deliberately hoarded food?"

Qu Xinyue's heart skipped a beat!

Qiguan Tuo is worthy of being called by everyone, and will be hailed as an emperor through the ages in the future.

Just from her few words, I can guess that it is very close to the truth.

She nodded slightly, not daring to say more.

Qi Guantuo's thoughts were immersed in the rainy season and food prices, and he did not notice the unnatural look on Qu Xinyue's face.

He frowned and thought for a while, and after a while, he decisively arranged the instructions one after another.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for investigating the grain price premium, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is assisting."

"Let the Secretary of General Affairs conduct a self-examination to see if there are any question books that have been submitted from the local government recently. Are there any omissions? Otherwise, it is impossible for the DPRK and China to have received news of the grain price premium for a long time."

What Qi Guantuo is most worried about is that the situation in the south is more severe than in Kyoto.

After a pause, he added again: "I appointed Liu Taiwei as the censor and went to the south of the Yangtze River for me. He mainly inspected the conditions of the major dams to prevent the arrival of floods."

Taiwei Liu had just bluntly criticized the imperial concubine this morning, saying that women should give birth to children in the harem and should not participate in government affairs.

But ever since Qu Xinyue silenced the ministers present...

He later realized...it seemed like he had offended someone he couldn't offend?

Liu Taiwei thought that he would never be reused by the emperor in the future, but he didn't expect to hear the emperor naming him to be the censor for this tour!

He was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he wished he could kneel down on the spot and swear to the sky that he would die with all his strength for the sake of the emperor and the country of Darao!

When Qu Xinyue saw Taiwei Liu's expression of confusion, she tried her best to think over all the sad things in her life before she could hold back her laughter.

The travel censor looks at the scenery. If he is a cunning person, he may rely on his status as an inspector to collect some filial piety and favors from the local area.

But Lieutenant Liu was known to be upright and stubborn, so going on patrol was a chore for him.

Especially in the rainy season when it rains continuously, an old man like Liu Taiwei asked if he had brought enough wind-cold medicine when he was traveling.

Qi Guantuo's covert defense was to help her avenge herself for being targeted by Lieutenant Liu that morning, which made Qu Xinyue feel slightly sweet.

At the same time, I was greatly impressed by Qi Guan Tuo’s insight, which is like knowing the autumn leaves!

I originally wanted to remind Qi Guantuo in a subtle way to pay attention to the dam problem.

Unexpectedly, he had already issued an inspection order in preparation for danger in times of peace.

After a series of decrees were issued, most of the ministers became busy and did not care about whether their concubine would go to court with the emperor in the future.

Except for the ministers who have sons and nephews as concubines in the harem, they feel sad.

From Qu Xinyue's ability to deal with courtiers today, they saw what absolute crushing means...

Although they were confident that their junior was good, otherwise they would not have been sent to the palace, but they could not go out of their way to say that they were better than Qu Xinyue.

No one is smart, no one has a beautiful parent, no one has a good belly, no one is favored by the emperor, so what can you compare with others?

But how could they be willing to do so?

The imperial concubine can conceive a dragon heir, so the other concubines should be able to, right?

As long as one of the descendants of the family is pregnant with a dragon heir, the family can develop into a wealthy family!

Some ministers were silently calculating in their hearts, and that day many notes were delivered from outside the palace to the concubines in the harem.

After seeing the support and encouragement from the family, many concubines in the harem became passionate.

Their request was very simple, as long as the emperor could give them a child.

……

Qi Guantuo and Qu Xinyue walked around the small garden outside Luoxia Palace after meals every day, and when they were taking a walk, they would always 'accidentally' encounter the concubines dressed in enchanting clothes from time to time.

Every concubine who came to meet her by chance saw the protruding belly of Qu Xinyue, and their eyes flashed with envy and jealousy.

When they looked at the emperor again, their eyes became hot and straightforward.

Qi Guan Tuo looked indifferent and indifferent to everyone except Qu Xinyue, but Qu Xinyue saw so many women who might have had close relationships with Qi Guan Tuo in the past.

For the first time, Qu Xinyue felt depressed and uncomfortable in her heart. In addition, when the concubines she met by chance saw the emperor, they all wanted to stick to him immediately.

Although he was stopped by Manager Wei, the strong smell of fragrant powder still made Qu Xinyue frown in discomfort.

Seeing that Qu Xinyue's expression was not good, Qi Guantuo suddenly asked nervously: "Do you want to teach the imperial doctor?"

Qu Xinyue frowned and shook her head, then whispered to Qi Guan Tuo: "Let's go back."

Hearing these words, the concubines who met by chance suddenly felt that Qu Xinyue was afraid that they would come to rob the emperor.

The beauties suddenly turned red with aggrieved eyes and began to complain delicately.

"Your Majesty, we haven't seen the Emperor for a long time. We are also the Emperor's women. You can't stop us from seeing the Emperor!"

"Yes, the imperial concubine is too heavy now to serve the emperor. Why not let the sisters serve the emperor?"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, the Emperor does not have many heirs. Why not let us sisters also contribute to His Majesty's work? Your Majesty, you can also gain a good reputation and avoid being said to be jealous!"

……

Qu Xinyue was so noisy by the Yingying Yanyan in front of her that her brain hurt, and she was also angry with Qi Guantuo.

She angrily pulled her hand back from Qi Guan Tuoda's and spoke calmly.

"Since the sisters have not seen the emperor for a long time, the emperor will stay here with the sisters to relieve their pain of missing each other. I will no longer be in the emperor's eyes. Miaozhu, help me go back."
