With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

[Wow, hahahaha,] Qianqian laughed happily, and his heart was also unrestrained, [Erdan, what's wrong with just letting me ride for a while? ]

system……

How does the saying go, riding a dog will tear your crotch. Oh, Erdan is not a dog.

Erdan was helpless about Qianqian's rogue behavior, but was also happy to make his little master happy. He gently tilted his huge body and pushed the little master who was climbing up and down on him down, and then went to push Dahua.

The two little girls were having a lot of fun playing with Erdan, and the queen was also happy to see them. She looked at the letter sent by Chu Xinghe again.

The Queen was very puzzled by Chu Mu's behavior. What the second branch of the Chu family had done was enough to have their entire family confiscated and exiled.

What right did Chu Mu have to make demands on Chu Xinghe, and he actually wanted to become a martial arts master of a royal family?

The goal is so clear...

The Queen called Nanny Li and did not avoid Qianqian and Dahua.

Nanny Li told the Queen every detail of Chu Mu's actions today.

Even Chu Mu's expression, tone and even eyes when he spoke.

She stopped Concubine De from rejecting him because Nanny Li had a feeling that something was wrong with Chu Mu, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Your Highness," Madam Li said carefully, "I just felt that I couldn't talk too much with Chu Mu at that time. I always felt an inexplicable uneasiness when I looked at Chu Mu."

The Queen frowned and looked at Nanny Li, then nodded. "You did the right thing. It's right to be cautious." She smiled at Nanny Li and said, "Mammy, you did a great job today. Go down and receive your reward."

Madam Li bowed happily and said, "Thank you, Madam."

【Chu Mu? 】

Xiao Qianqian looked at Li Ma's departing back and asked, "Tongzi, can you eat Chu Mu's melon?"

The system was silent for a while, [That Chu Mu was the one who poisoned Chu Xinghe's mother. He was only about ten years old at that time. ]

[However, little princess,] the system became uneasy for the first time in a long time, [that Li Mama has a talent, that is, her intuition is very accurate, and I can't eat all the gossip about Chu Mu. ]

It's like this again, and the feeling of not having a complete understanding of the situation makes the system very uncomfortable.

In principle, he has already met Chu Xinghe herself, so he can get at least 80% of the gossip about people related to her.

But the information Chu Mu can get is pitifully little.

Xiao Qianqian rolled off Erdan, frowning, [Then Tongzi, do you think I can see Chu Mu directly? ]

The queen immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

The system exhaled deeply, [Little Princess, since I can't eat all of Chu Mu's melons, I must be careful when I see Chu Mu. It's best to make him extremely weak.]

[Uh,] Qianqian's shoulders slumped, [Hehe, Tongzi, you forgot that I still can't speak, wuwuwu, so annoying.]

The queen stood up and walked to her daughter, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face, and then wiped Dahua's face. She picked up Qianqian with heartache, squatted down and sat beside Erdan, leaning against Erdan comfortably.

She thought for a moment and ordered, "Luqiao, I want to see Chu Mu, but Nanny Li also said that there is something wrong with Chu Mu."

The queen frowned and thought. She didn't know what was wrong with Chu Mu yet. If she rashly hurt his body, what if something happened...

She thought for a moment, "Let the secret guards feed Chu Mu more muscle softening powder, and starve him for three days. After three days, I want to meet that Chu Mu in person."

[Little Princess, your mother is so smart,] the system praised, [Even if Chu Mu wants to do something, he is too weak to do anything.]

Xiao Qianqian nodded his little head, raised his head, hugged his mother's neck, and kissed her on the face several times.

Dahua smiled and squeezed into the queen's arms, and kissed the queen several times like Qianqian did.

The queen hugged her two daughters and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

Emperor Mingde, who had just stepped into Fengqi Palace, happened to see this scene, and his heart was so soft that it almost melted into a puddle of water.

Today, he was wearing a moon-white round-necked, wide-collared gown embroidered with a pattern of azure mountains, waters and auspicious clouds. His black hair was tied up high and fixed with a white jade hairpin.

The man was truly as beautiful as jade. The queen was stunned for a moment when she looked up.

Once upon a time, there was such a handsome man in the Prime Minister's Mansion who caught her eye and made her fall in love with him for the rest of her life...

Now, the same person stood in front of her, but he was someone she had experienced before. The queen felt a surge of depression and bitterness in her heart.

Emperor Mingde stood in front of the Queen with a slight smile on his face, lowering his eyes slightly and looking at her affectionately.

Xiao Qianqian stared at his father blankly for a long time with his mouth wide open, then pulled Dahua Qiaomi out of the Queen's arms.

[Let's go, let's go. Our father is so showy today. We can't be a light bulb in this short night.]

Emperor Mingde's smile froze on his face...

This girl ruined the good atmosphere. Sigh.

Queen...

It was a close call, just a little bit, she had to hold herself back, the emperor is the most ruthless, she repeated to herself three times.

Emperor Mingde smiled bitterly as he watched Qianqian Dahua and Erdan leave. He imitated the empress and lifted his robe to sit on the ground. He spoke carefully, "These days, many ministers have submitted memorials asking me to select candidates for the imperial examination."

The queen looked up at Emperor Mingde with clear eyes, "Yes, because of the matter of Prince Qi, your majesty has no offspring now. If this continues, I will also be criticized."

"Your Majesty," the Queen suggested sincerely, "Now is a good time to select a beauty."

"Qianyue," Emperor Mingde's eyes were slightly red, "I,"

"You are the emperor."

In fact, the Queen was very open-minded about the selection of concubines, especially since she still had some grudges against Emperor Mingde.

In fact, she had long discovered that as long as she treated him as a partner in interests instead of the emperor, his character was still acceptable.

The Queen stood up and walked to the desk, took out the letter sent by Xiao Yan from Xiliang and handed it to Emperor Mingde, "Ning Yuanchen has begun to act, and at the same time, Ma Dequan, Xiao Yan, Lin Zhen and others have also begun to contact the Great Xia troops stationed in Xiliang. Your Majesty," the Queen's eyes were burning, "at this time, it is best for Chu, Northern Xinjiang and our Great Xia court not to pay attention to Xiliang."

They have been planning for Xiliang for too long, so they can't create any complications at this time.

Emperor Mingde frowned after reading the letter, thought for a moment and said, "The court has been in a bloody mess these days, and it's time for things to stabilize. The selection of concubines can also reassure some of the court officials and aristocratic families."

The Queen nodded and said, "I also suggest that Your Majesty hold an imperial examination this year. After all, the fall of the Queen Mother and the Prince of Qi's faction has left many positions vacant."

Emperor Mingde nodded, "Jiang Minghai also told me about this, Qianyue, about the selection of talents and the opening of the special examination."

"Your Majesty, please do as you wish..."

The two of them talked in Fengqi Palace for half a night and made advance arrangements for future affairs of the court and the harem.

Three days later, the Queen ordered the renovation of some palaces in the imperial palace in preparation for the upcoming general election.

At the same time, Chu Mu, who was starving and weak all over, was also taken out of the Dali Temple cell. The queen met him outside the cell with Qian Qian.
