The court is quiet, the melon people are making trouble!

You and his ministers suddenly realized ((o(＞皿＜)o)) !!:

! ! ! ! !

Yes, this is the only way to minimize the emperor’s embarrassment!

Everyone in the room nodded repeatedly, and no one thought that before, if anyone disobeyed the order, they would be beheaded!

The emperor took back the eunuch Fu's imperial edict and looked at the humerus below with a headache:

"The Northern Bear Tribe has been suffering from drought for years. After the last defeat, they sent us a peace gift and even sent their only princess to show their sincerity!"

"Should our dynasty agree to his request for food this time or not?"

The Minister of Revenue, Lord Bai, spoke first:

"Your Majesty, I disagree. Although our underworld is vast and rich in resources, the food is also grown by our people with great effort. Why should we give it to them for free?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we put that money into the Ministry of Revenue and used it to build the Han Dynasty and make it peaceful and prosperous?"

Zheng, the Minister of War, held an opposing opinion:

"Master Bai, what you said is not right. We can't say that we are giving them food for free. After all, they are willing to exchange them for equally good horses."

"Although we have good horses, they are still slightly inferior to the Northern Bears!"

"If we can get the good horses of the Northern Bear and use them to form a cavalry team, it will be a great help to our Han army!"

"There are naval forces in the south and cavalry in the north. Our Han dynasty will be invincible and victorious in every battle!"

Lord Bai looked at him angrily:

"Master Zheng, what are you talking about? The Han Dynasty is now at its peak. If the breed of war horses is not good, we can just import some good horses and slowly improve them!"

"If we trade grain for horses, the horses will still need grain. This way, it will only be a double loss for us!"

"Master Bai, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by double loss? This is the true way to build a country!"

With two people at the beginning, the crowd split into two groups and started to quarrel. The emperor stared blankly ahead⊙_⊙:

I don’t know what my darling is doing, but she understands my heart best!

I really want to go out and play with her!

At this time, Xu Qingqing had already followed Fang You to General Hu's residence and was being received by Mrs. Hu!

Mrs. Hu is gentle and demure. Her every move shows her knowledgeable and well-mannered temperament, as if every action carries the scent of books.

Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment and gave General Hu a thumbs upヽ(*′3｀*)?:

"The general is truly amazing, to have married such a charming lady!"

[Wow, what kind of fairy aunt is this? Just looking at her a few more times makes me feel like I have learned a lot more!]

[How come every lady I meet is so unique and different!]

[Wow! I didn’t expect that General Hu, who is so carefree, could marry such a gentle and bookish wife!]

[It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance, and you cannot measure the depth of the ocean by a bucket! ]

When General Hu heard this, he immediately grinned to his ears\^O^/:

"Hehe! My wife comes from a scholarly family, but I worked so hard to marry her!"

Mrs. Hu blushed slightly and raised her hand to hit him lightly:

"Husband, don't talk nonsense!"

General Hu shook Mrs. Hu's hand very politely:

"What nonsense? Ma'am, you are just that good!"

[Ouch, my teeth are sore. Even if I eat eight kilograms of sour jujube, they won’t be this sour!]

[General Hu is not only successful in his career, but also a good man in his family! ]

Xu Qingqing, who was eating a mouthful of dog food, saw that the servants around him had no reaction and their faces were calm:(⊙?⊙)

[Wow, it seems like these two have a good relationship. The servants are so calm, as if they didn’t see anything!]

[The couple has such a good relationship, and the servants don't seem to have any problems either, so what could possibly happen if they went to the Imperial Observatory?]

Mrs. Hu heard Xu Qingqing's voice and hurriedly pulled her hand away. She waved to the servant, who soon came in with two trays:

"This is a little gift from my Hu family. I hope you two don't mind it!"

As soon as the servant opened it, Xu Qingqing was attracted by the white silver inside:

[Wow, so much money, the Imperial Observatory is making a lot of money, why is the house still in tatters? I just took 600 taels from them and lost money!]

Fang You, who was standing by and planning to ask Mrs. Hu about the reason: ≡￣﹏￣≡

………………

A house is good enough as long as it is usable. Why does it need to be so good? It is a place of value, not a place to live! Can't you use the money to buy equipment?

"Mrs. Hu, what's going on?"

Mrs. Hu's face flushed slightly, even her eyes were red, but her attitude was still firm:

"I want to take a concubine for my master. Please calculate an auspicious date for me!"

Xu Qingqing, who was just complaining about the loss of 7 taels, subconsciously scratched her ears and looked at Mrs. Hu?? (7_)?? :

? ? ? ? ?

"Who do you think wants to take a concubine?"

[Oh my god, my ears are not working. I was so angry because I received too little money that I heard hallucinations!]

[Their relationship seems like that of conjoined twins, and they even have concubines?]

[I just praised Mr. Hu as a good man. Tsk tsk... I think I was overthinking it!]

General Hu also spoke at the same time as Xu Qingqing (＞﹏＜):

"Madam, didn't we agree today? Please ask the people from the Imperial Observatory to come over and show us the yard!"

"If you mention taking a concubine again, I will tell the emperor and go to guard the border!"

When Mrs. Hu heard General Hu say this, she immediately pursed her lips and said nothing.

When General Hu saw his wife like this, he immediately hugged her in his arms:

"Didn't I tell you? I don't mind. I really don't mind. It's good enough that we have a daughter!"

"My father-in-law always says that life is not always as it should be, but with you by my side, everything goes well for me!"

Fang You and Xu Qingqing looked at each other(?)?Д?(ヽ) :

[This is a melon!]

[Let me do some calculations to see what's going on?]

[Oh! They have been married for 20 years and only have one daughter!]

[Mrs. Hu has always felt guilty and wants to find a concubine for General Hu so that they can give birth to a son!]

[But General Hu never wanted to take a concubine, and even ran away to the north a few times out of anger!]

[Since her daughter got married and left the house, Mrs. Hu has been even more worried in the past few years, and she wants to leave a descendant for General Hu! ]

Xu Qingqing really wanted to say, isn’t it just a son?

If there is no son, then there is no son. I don’t have any heir to the throne, so why do I need a son?

But thinking about the current dynasty, Xu Qingqing gave up.

It’s true, with such a big general’s mansion and Gu’s army, and their daughter is so sickly, they really need a strong child to inherit!

Hearing Xu Qingqing's thoughts, Fang You thought for a moment:

"Mrs. Hu, why don't you let Princess Anding and I take a look at your yard first!"

"Perhaps the layout of some places is not appropriate, or the geographical location is not appropriate, which may cause women to have trouble conceiving. It is also possible!"
