Chapter 136 Daxia Plane [2nd Update]

"Mother, you're back!" Xiahou Rui happily rushed over to hug his mother's legs after seeing Xie Yuruan's figure.

"Mother, I miss you so much."

Xie Yuruan looked at her son, smiled and hugged him, saying, "Mother misses you too."

"Mother..." On the other side, the little princess Xiahou Wan, who was just over one year old, also stretched out her chubby little hands to ask her mother to hug her.

Xie Yuruan took her daughter in her arms and couldn't help kissing her chubby little face. She was very satisfied to see that she looked good.

When Xie Yuruan was close to her children, Xiahou Song, who worked in the Qinzheng Palace, also got the news and did not disturb them at this time.

"Your Majesty." The eunuch who served Xiahou Song stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the King of Qi wants to see you."

Xiahou Song frowned after hearing this, "King of Qi? What is he doing here?"

After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out what the King of Qi was doing. Xiahou Song waved his hand and asked someone to let him in to see.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The King of Qi bowed consciously when he saw Xiahou Song. After Xiahou Song asked him to stand up, he bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I came here today for my poor granddaughter..."

Xiahou Song: "..."

"Your Majesty, my poor granddaughter is only 28 years old, but she was rejected by someone. How will she live in the future?"

"Your Majesty, I shamelessly beg you to give my granddaughter a good home!" The King of Qi said sincerely.

Xiahou Song: "...Oh? What does Uncle Qi think?"

That's right, the King of Qi was the prince canonized by Xiahou Song's father. Now he is in his forties and is already a grandfather, but in Xiahou Song's eyes, he is just an uncle.

The King of Qi is the cousin of Xiahou Song's father, who is several generations away from him. The reason why he was able to be crowned king was because of his ability.

But now, the King of Qi is also old...

"Your Majesty..." The King of Qi looked up at Xiahou Song, and then said, "Your Majesty, your harem is empty, why not let my granddaughter enter the palace as a concubine?"

"My granddaughter was rejected by someone, and she will definitely not find a good marriage in the future. I really don't want to see her suffer, I hope she can live a good life."

"I believe that with the Queen's character and your Majesty's character, my granddaughter will definitely live a good life in the harem."

"I don't ask your Majesty to favor my granddaughter, I just hope that she will not be bullied." The King of Qi said seriously.

Xiahou Song listened with a blank expression, and his eyes staring at the King of Qi gradually became colder.

"King Qi..." Xiahou Song said indifferently, "You are so bold? You let your granddaughter enter the palace and become a concubine? Are you planning to become the queen or queen mother in the future?"

"In this way, the descendants of the Xiahou family in your line will get the throne of Daxia openly?" Xiahou Song said coldly.

Upon hearing this, King Qi quickly knelt down and said, "This old minister is wronged. This old minister has no such idea!"

"King Qi, I will not punish you because you have made many contributions to Daxia, but don't provoke me again and again!" Xiahou Song looked at this man who was only in his forties and really couldn't understand why he suddenly lost his mind.

"Come here, send King Qi back to King Qi's mansion, confine him to his house for half a year, and deduct his salary for half a year!" Xiahou Song ordered coldly.

When the King of Qi was young, he did a lot for Daxia. Even if he was confused now, at least he hadn't done anything excessive. Xiahou Song couldn't kill the King of Qi just because he planned to send his granddaughter to his harem.

After driving the people away, Xiahou Song left the memorial and went to Fengluan Palace.

On the way to Fengluan Palace, Xiahou Song thought of the late emperors who were playing somewhere now. Most people thought that the two had passed away, but in fact they were just pretending to be dead and didn't know where they went to play.

Xiahou Song knew that his parents were still alive, but he really didn't know where they were. He just hoped that they could come back to see him, or write a letter to him to let him know how they had been doing all these years.

Fengluan Palace.

"Your Majesty." Xie Yuruan saw Xiahou Song, stood up and saluted, and when he came to help her stand up, she stood up straight.

"I heard that the queen got a batch of seeds when she was in Jueyuan Temple? What seeds are they?" Xiahou Song asked.

Xie Yuruan also knew that there were people around him who belonged to the emperor, so he did not intend to hide it. "It is a batch of high-yield fine varieties."

Xie Yuruan told Xiahou Song about crops such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, cabbages, and radishes, and also about their yields, which made Xiahou Song very happy.

"Good, good, Zitong, you are really lucky." Xiahou Song held Xie Yuruan's hand and said, "You can get this batch of fine varieties, it seems that you are really lucky."

"When this batch of seeds grows up, then Zitong, your position will be more stable." Xiahou Song said with a smile, "Look at what those people said about asking me to expand the harem! If no one can come up with a more powerful achievement than the fine varieties in your hand, how can I have the nerve to take her in?"

Xie Yuruan: "..."

The couple chatted, and Xie Yuruan came back after staying in Jueyuan Temple for half a month. After spending some time with her husband and children, she had to be busy with palace affairs again.

Although there is only one queen in the harem now, and no other concubines; the harem of the previous emperor also had only one queen and no other women, but there are still many things in the harem that need to be handled by the queen.

For example, the arrangement of eunuchs and palace maids, as well as various profit-sharing arrangements, etc., all need to be managed by the queen.

In addition to these, the queen also has to manage the royal family and some imperial edicts, etc. It doesn't mean that she doesn't need to be busy if there are no other concubines in the harem.

One and a half months after Xie Yuruan returned to the palace, the cabbage she had planted had been two months old and could be harvested. Xie Yuruan, who got the news, was very excited and found Xiahou Song to ask him to take her out of the palace to see the harvest of cabbage.

"What did you say? The cabbage can be harvested?" Xiahou Song looked at his queen in surprise.

"Yes, according to the news from the manager of the farm, the cabbage is growing well and can be harvested now." Xie Yuruan also said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, then let's go and see it together." Xiahou Song said happily, "Take Rui'er and Wan'er with you, and they will go and see it too."

Xie Yuruan nodded and did not refuse. Since her son is the prince, he can't be ignorant of everything. He also had to know about farming and mulberry since he was a child.

So on this day, the emperor, empress, prince and princess of the Great Xia Dynasty left the palace and went to the empress's dowry farm.

It must be troublesome for the emperor and empress to go out. Xiahou Song and Xie Yuruan asked people to be more light and still took 20 to 30 guards and a dozen maids with them. They had to have several carriages.

Some ministers who were more informed also got the news that the couple left the palace. Although they were very puzzled why the emperor and empress left the palace, they just thought that the emperor and empress went out to relax.
