The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

The eunuchs knelt down hastily, and the Queen Mother waved her hand, "It was I who forbad us to pass it on."

"What brings you here so late at night, mother?" After Qi Sili bowed, he ordered someone to bring a chair for the empress dowager to sit down.

The Queen Mother glanced at the eunuch in the corner of her eyes, then turned to look at Qi Sili, "Before, because of Concubine Jiang, you hated every concubine in the harem. Now that Concubine Jiang is gone, you should let go of your hatred and stop making the beauties in the harem complain every day."

"I know, but the state affairs are busy today..."

"The harem and the former dynasty have an inseparable relationship. No matter how busy the state affairs are, you must visit the harem often."

Qi Sili bowed his head: "Your son knows."

The Queen Mother murmured, "You are not young anymore, it is time for you to have children for Daqian. If you remain childless for many years, I don't know what people will say about you."

"Let the matter of succession take its course. I don't care what others say."

"Why don't you care?" The Queen Mother frowned and said unhappily, "Your kingdom has no successor. If it falls into the hands of others in the future, wouldn't all the efforts of your mother for so many years be in vain?"

Qi Sili didn't seem to care, "We are all Qi family blood anyway, it doesn't matter who manages the country."

"If Qi Si Liao were to take charge, would you give it up?"

Now Qi Si Liao has defeated the barbarians and is in great glory. If Qi Si Li has been childless for many years and Qi Si Liao happens to have a child, the throne will have to be taken over sooner or later.

For a moment, Qi Sili wanted to put down the burden on his shoulders, but the empress dowager saw through his thoughts and looked at the eunuchs in the Jingshifang with a cold face.

The eunuch knelt in front of Qi Sili again and said, "Your Majesty, please turn over the cards."

Qi Sili was very annoyed with this eunuch, but the Empress Dowager was present, so he couldn't get angry and reached out to flip the card.

"The queen is the mother of a country after all. It would be best if she could give birth to a legitimate son."

Qi Sili's hand paused and moved from Wanpin's nameplate to the one above the Queen's nameplate.

Just as he was about to take action, the eunuch outside came with a message saying that Qi Sili wanted to see him, which solved his problem.

The Queen Mother frowned, "It's so late, what's the matter with the War King that you can't see him tomorrow?"

The young eunuch said, "Prince Zhan is anxious to return to his fiefdom, so he came here to say goodbye."

"I'm sorry to bother you here. The emperor has declared war, Queen. Remember to rest early." The Queen Mother stayed for a moment and then left in a hurry.

The door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation slowly opened, and Qi Siliao and the Empress Dowager met each other.

Qi Si Liao bowed to her and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked the dusty Qi Si Liao up and down, and said politely, "Liao'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are in better shape than before."

Qi Siliao did not intend to reveal his true colors, and replied with a little respect: "It is all thanks to the imperial physician's miraculous skills that he brought me back to health and used all his skills to save my life, which has enabled us to achieve today's victory."

"is it?"

Qi Si Liao bowed his head and said, "I dare not lie."

"Of course I hope you are well. Is Princess Zhan all right?"

Qi Si Liao lowered his eyes, "It's still the same."

"Take her back more often when you have time, so she won't forget my face."

"Yes, your son will send your mother off respectfully."

During the conversation, Qi Siliao kept looking at the ground with his hands shaking. He never felt that his hands were no longer his own. Compared to fighting on the battlefield, he was more afraid of doing something treasonous at this moment.

He stared at the empress dowager's departing back, and stood up straight. His tall body immediately blocked the candlelight on the corridor. The eunuch in front of him froze suddenly, not daring to look at his dark face.

Qi Siliao looked down at the young eunuch guarding the gate. The young eunuch was so nervous that he even forgot to breathe.

Qi Si Liao frowned and said: "Don't be afraid, I just want to see His Majesty."

Qi Si Liao opened the door directly, and the eunuch's heart was immediately relieved. "Your Majesty, the emperor is not in a good mood at the moment, you... should be a little more careful with your words."

"Well, thanks for reminding me."

When Qi Siliao entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the young eunuch quickly pulled the door and then closed it at an unprecedented speed.

When Qi Siliao entered the hall, Qi Sili had been sitting in front of the dragon table waiting for a long time.

The eunuchs from the Jingshifang had not left yet. Qi Siliao glanced at the green cards on the tray, and saw several new concubines on them.

In the silence, the eunuch lowered his head and only heard the movement of someone entering the hall, and also felt the unignorable sense of being watched. He nervously gripped the edge of the tray, feeling uneasy, he didn't know what would happen next.

But it really was nothing. Qi Siliao entered the hall and did nothing else except kowtow to the emperor.

The chief eunuch beside Qi Sili winked at the eunuch from the Jingshifang, and the two of them hurriedly retreated.

When they walked outside the palace, the eunuch from the Jingshifang wiped a cold sweat and said frankly that this kind of job was difficult.

The chief eunuch understood, but could only say: "It's not easy for us servants. The beauties in the harem are eagerly waiting for the emperor to visit them, but the emperor is more concerned about state affairs. He hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time because of the war in the barbarian land. Now that the king of war has won, he may be able to sleep tonight."

Eunuch of the Imperial Household: "Then the harem..."

"Perhaps after Prince Zhan leaves, the Emperor will be in a good mood and will turn over the cards. Let's wait and see."

The eunuch in the Jingshifang shook his head in frustration, looking at the invisible hope in the darkness.

In the hall, Qi Siliao and Qi Sili were talking about the war in the barbarian land. It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and somehow they ended up talking about Hu Luanfei.

Qi Sili even felt that no one in his harem could compare to Hu Luanfei. He was silent for a long time, looking at his weathered brother, "I have done many wrong things. I didn't cherish the person I should have cherished before. Now I want to cherish her, but I find that I have no chance anymore."

Qi Siliao understood what he meant. Thinking of Hu Luanfei's beauty, it was indeed good. But he felt very uncomfortable that his wife was being thought of by another man.

"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right. I will do my best to ensure that Luan Fei has no regrets."

Qi Sili took a sip of wine, and the alcohol started to rise. He spoke ruthlessly, not knowing whether it was intentional or not. "I thought that after fighting the barbarians for half a year, you would be exhausted and defeated, and then Luan Fei would return to my side. It's a pity that God has always favored you. He favored you in the past, and he favors you now. You really don't take me seriously."

Qi Siriao's heart trembled, "My royal brother is drunk, so I will take my leave first."

"Let's go, and don't come back once you leave." Tonight was a bit intense. Qi Sili was indeed very drunk. He lay on the dragon table in a daze, and there were signs of sobbing. "Everyone is on guard against me, even you are on guard against me. This life is so boring."

He took another sip of wine.

Qi Siriao was anxious to return to Taohua Village and did not want to stay in the palace at all. He went out of the hall, ordered the eunuch guarding the gate to go in and serve him, and then left the Daqian Palace without looking back.

Jiang Ling, Jiang Shi, Jiang Yi and Jiang Er returned to Taohua Village first, and he followed with the rest of the brothers.

The letter that Jiang Shi wrote to Wen Ruoxue arrived at Taohua Village before everyone else. No one knew what was written in the letter, but it made Wen Ruoxue ignore her child and rush to Daqian while she was still in confinement.
