Even to Chen Liqing, he had never done this.

Besides, in terms of status and position, she is still the most noble woman in the entire Daxia Kingdom.

He didn't understand why the Queen was jealous of Princess Ruyang?

Over the years, he had never seen the queen jealous of anyone, or envious of anyone.

Li Fu smiled: "That's because your Majesty has never truly understood women."

Xia Di couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Does it sound like you understand women?"

He is not a woman.

At most, he is only half a man.

Li Fu smiled, "Your Majesty is very busy every day. Every time he goes to the harem, he just talks to the ladies for a few words and then goes to rest. I don't have as much contact with the ladies as you do. Naturally, I must understand women better than Your Majesty."

Emperor Xia leaned back and said, "Okay, then tell me, why is the Queen jealous of Princess Ruyang?"

Li Fu said: "It's very simple. Which woman doesn't want to have the full love of her husband? Your Majesty, you are the husband of the Queen and the ruler of a country. In terms of status, the Queen is indeed higher than Princess Ruyang, but for a woman, what they want more is the love of their husband, complete love, love that belongs to her alone."

"But how is this possible? I am the ruler of a country, how can there be only one woman?" Emperor Xia frowned.

"Yes, Your Majesty really couldn't do it, but Prince Ruyang did it." Li Fu smiled.

"Prince Ruyang is Prince Ruyang, and I am myself. As the ruler of a country, I cannot have only one woman." Emperor Xia was very dissatisfied: "Doesn't the Queen understand this?"

Li Fu smiled: "The Queen Mother naturally understands, which is why the Queen Mother has always handled various matters in the harem for Your Majesty and will not cause Your Majesty any trouble."

"But knowing this is one thing, but who doesn't want to have a single lover? Just like, the Queen has only one husband, Your Majesty, but do you only have one woman, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Xia opened his mouth and was about to say something when Li Fu continued.

"Yes, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines in this world, but women must be faithful to one man for life. However, ask yourself, everyone wants to have only one loyal lover, right? And Prince Ruyang has achieved this. He gave Princess Ruyang the only one."

"As a woman who married into the royal family, Princess Ruyang has no worries at all in the harem. In fact, in the capital, not only the Queen is jealous of Princess Ruyang, but probably countless noble ladies are jealous of her."

"It can be said that the kindness that Prince Ruyang shows to Princess Ruyang is what every woman in this world wants. The Queen, as the mother of a country, can never get these things. It is normal for her to be jealous of Princess Ruyang."

Emperor Xia was silent for a moment: "What you said is not without reason."

Li Fu said, "Yes, so if that's the case, it's normal for the Queen to ignore this matter. This matter will affect the reputation of Princess Ruyang. Even if Your Majesty says that the Queen is not good at managing the harem, it would be at most a few words of reprimand, not more."

"You won't really punish the Queen severely for these rumors, right?"

Xia Di nodded: "Indeed not."

"The Queen has worked hard and made great contributions over the years, and has hardly made any mistakes. I will naturally not care about this little thing."

Li Fu said: "That's why the Queen doesn't care about the rumors in the palace this time."

Anyway, for the Queen Mother, it doesn't matter even if His Majesty is a little angry with her because of this.

It is impossible for it to really threaten her position.

This is a good opportunity for His Majesty to sense the dissatisfaction in her heart over the years. Who knows, the Queen even thinks it’s a good thing!

Seeing that Emperor Xia obviously seemed to feel somewhat guilty towards the Empress, Li Fu knew that the Empress really understood their Majesty too well.

It’s really smart.

Almost everything has been considered.

But it must be said that if it weren't for the Queen's intelligence, how could she have been able to hold on to the position of Queen and never be shaken if there hadn't been constant entry of new people into the palace over the years?

Emperor Xia sighed slightly, "Forget it, forget it. I won't talk about the affairs in the palace. If the Queen doesn't want to intervene, then don't intervene. Anyway, Concubine Chen is in charge, so let her do it. If she feels that she doesn't have enough manpower, you can send a few more people over to help her out."

After a pause, Emperor Xia suddenly thought of something: "Have you accepted a little apprentice recently?"

Li Fu was just slightly stunned, and then he responded directly: "Your Majesty is right. I have indeed accepted a little apprentice recently. He is from the palace of Princess Showa. His name is Qiming, and he is a very smart little eunuch."

"Originally, I wanted to treat him as my godson, thinking that when I get older, this kid can still take care of me. But this kid said that once a teacher, always a father. Even if we are just a master and apprentice relationship, he will take good care of me in the future."

"And if I become a master, if that kid gets into trouble someday, it won't involve me."

"I'm not afraid of your majesty laughing at me, but Master is not included in these nine clans."

"I saw that he was sincere and I agreed, and we became master and disciple."

Xia Di nodded: "I see, it seems that you like this Qiming very much."

He thought this Qiming was from someone's palace.

If it's from Qin Yan's palace, there will be no problem.

After all, Qin Yan is just a princess. Apart from her, there are no other masters in Qingliu Palace, and she will not be involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty.

Li Fu chose a young eunuch from the Qingliu Palace, so at least his loyalty could continue.

I will not favor anyone because of this so-called little disciple.

As for whether he favors Qin Yan, it doesn't matter. After all, Qin Yan is his daughter, a girl. It doesn't matter even if he gives her more honors and favors.

Even though the customs of the Great Xia Kingdom were relatively open, as long as it was in ancient times, there was inevitably the idea that men were stronger and could inherit the throne. There was no way around it.

What's more, in the eyes of Emperor Xia, Qin Yan was only an adopted daughter, not his biological daughter. From the perspective of bloodline, her identity was not legitimate.

You are in control at all times.

If one day I don't like her anymore and want to get rid of her, it can be solved with just an imperial decree. It's very simple!
